Ding, ding, ding .... we have a winner here. 45 min drive worth every penny. Very friendly staff. Lots of options for food to include the sides. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. The turkey was very moist tender and had an awesome taste as well. The pulled pork was moist and had a great flavor. All the sides were top notch. I was a little skeptical about kettle chips because I don't normally like them but however these were an exception. Before I forget the brisket Chili was phenomenal! It is a sweet Chili not spicy at all but very hardy and served hot. The restaurant was a little small, but very clean and organized. The portion sizes seemed very generous. If I were to knit pick something the BBQ sauce seemed very thin and I prefer thicker sauce. I can't wait to come back.

Amazing. Period. Wings. Brisket. Pork. The Coleslaw is perfection. My only regret is not having a large enough stomach to inhale it all, but now my fridge smells amazing with leftovers.

Amazing staff! Great people! Great environment and I have never had one bad thing on this menu. I would recommend the brisket chili is phenomenal! My wife loves the loaded brisket potato with nacho cheese. Never disappoints if your in the area it is a must try and you’ll be hooked!

If you are traveling across 24 in Northern Ohio, and you stop into Napoleon to grab a bite to eat, you would be hard pressed to find Outlaw Smokehouse by accident. It is a little gem that is very well hidden on the south edge of town, right along the river. "Quaintly nestled" behind and between some very industrial steel buildings, even if you are intentionally trying to get to it, you might still have trouble finding it. If you do, your effort will be rewarded with friendly service and tender brisket. I take my brisket seriously, usually smoking my own since most places can't seem to do it right, but Outlaw was a pleasant surprise. I was there 5 days ago, as I write this, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it again. Stop here for lunch or dinner, and thank me later.

I took my mother out here to pick up a truck and she saw this place and she wanted to try it. And omg the food was so good. I love their brisket, mac and cheese burrito. It was the greatest brisket I ever had and I'm really picky with my brisket. I'm from Michigan and this was worth the 1 hour drive to come here. I would rate this 10 out of 10 if I could give it.

This place is fantastic. I love their barbecue sauces, and two of them are for sure in the top three best barbecue sauces I have ever had. I’m slowly working my way throughout the whole menu, and once I do, I’m going back for another round.
