Cleveland Restaurants

It remains a mystery why the humble catfish never really got its due in the American food scene. Fortunately, residents of Cleveland aren't faced with this quandary, with several restaurants serving fried and blackened catfish as well as po'boy sandwiches featuring the local catch. While Cleveland has a way with seafood, they also know barbecue and smoked meat, and there's even one location where you can browse for records while your brisket or pulled pork is being prepared. Cleveland is also an excellent place to find Mississippi classics like hot tamales, piping hot fried chicken and more. Lighter offerings are also plentiful, including restaurants that serve a variety of salads and vegetarian entrees as well as dishes for people on a gluten-free diet.
