Lager Heads BBQ Smokehouse
Episode 056 of ‘I Can Do Another 12’ features Lager Heads BBQ Smokehouse
Lager Heads BBQ Smokehouse sits on a quiet road next to the Rocky River in Medina, Ohio. When you pull into the dusty gravel parking lot, you know you’re at a legit BBQ smokehouse. The air is smoky, feeling a little thicker once inside. The menu features all the greatest hits, but their whole smoked wings are legendary—I scored them 9.8 on the “I Can Do Another 12” Podcast, Episode 056.
