The Scene – On the liberal strip of far-west Cleveland that is Clifton Boulevard, it's refreshing to find a bar that offers no gimmicks, no pick-up lines, no frou-frou drinks, just a small beer selection, boxed wine and strong cocktails, poured by experts who know their business. And there's a faded photo of Joe Namath hanging on the wall. – – The Draw – This joint serves some of the best barbecue town, but you're missing the total experience if you stop at the St. Louis-style platter.

I'm from Maryland and was in Cleveland on business when I first went to this tavern on the advice of a business associate. My initial reaction was that I went back in time! The place looks soo sixties. My associate told me not to worry because I was going to love the food. Man was he right! I have traveled all over the US and I want to tell you that I've been searching for the equal of those ribs ever since. If I'm even close to Cleveland, I'm making time to visit Tick Tock Tavern for those ribs! I have been there about a dozen times over the years and have never been disappointed!
- Pros: Best Ribs!
Tasty & Affordable

This place has been around for decades and I know why, the food is incredible! They are famous for their barbecue, but also have a great menu selection with some mediterrenian flair. The seafood salad is my favorite. Their burgers are fantastic, they have a nice selection of specialties and they are under $5!!!!! How amazing is that?
And, I've never been charged for soda refills there so I don't know what that guy is talking about.
The dining area could use a good cleaning and some redecoration though. I recommend take-out.
- Pros: Great Food, Incredible Prices
- Cons: Needs a good cleaning
