Austin’s Wood Fire Grill: Family Friendly, Wood Fired Fare

Austin’s Wood Fire Grill is a reliable dinner option for Mayfield Village residents looking for great barbecue fare. This well-decorated restaurant features rustic wooden tables, dim, relaxing lighting, and a spacious wooden bar that makes an ideal happy hour hangout.

Almost everything on the menu is cooked over a wood fired grill, including the 100% Angus burgers, seafood entrees, and hand cut steaks. Slow smoked prime rib dinners are served every weekend, and the Smokin’ Favorites menu includes Texas barbecue pork, brisket, and hickory roasted chicken. The sides of smoked beans, macaroni and cheese, and cinnamon apples are just as good as the main courses, and most meat entrees are served with Austin’s signature Shiner Bock beer bread. Finish your meal with a piece of apple pie for the kids or a glass of wine for the adults, and you’ll leave feeling full and satisfied.

Austin’s is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sundays through Fridays and noon to 10:30 Saturdays.

B Spot: A Burger Spot With Awards Worth Boasting

B Spot burgers were voted some of the best burgers in America four years in a row, but it’s not just a panel of judges who rave about this small chain. Cleveland-area residents just can’t get enough of this gourmet burger spot, which combines the highest quality cooking techniques with a fun, casual atmosphere. The Woodmere location features a stylish, industrial interior furnished with metal chairs, modern light fixtures, and a large bar in the center.

A slew of signature burgers, like the Thin Lizzy and the New Jack City, put a B Spot spin on the classic cheeseburger formula, topping beef or turkey patties with toppings such as griddled onions, sriracha mayo, and pulled pork. In addition to burgers, B Spot serves bologna and bratwursts, big, filling salads, and sides like pulled pork fries or onion rings. If you somehow have room for dessert after your meal, B Spot’s milkshakes are equally unique and just as decadent as the burgers!
