Review from JarHarms P.

Do not let the name fool you this is not a grocery store.
I ate here two separate times both being decent. The service staff are nice and the inside is interesting with fun decor. Not sure exactly what is up with the ceiling tee shirts, forgot to ask. Had the fried pickles which were OK but not the best I've had. I ended up getting the BBQ pork which was kind of "ehh" crispy dry with the sauce being its only saving grace. The fried okra and beer was good though. A friend had the BBQ ribs which were on the same lines as my BBQ. The other friend had the catfish and ribs. He said that the fish was great and the ribs were so-so.
The second time there I iordered the crawfish tails and grilled catfish which was pretty good and kinda of saved my experience here. -

We had been there a few times before and found the quality of food and service mediocre at best but decided to give it another shot. The hostess lead us to a table asked what we would like to drink and said a waitress would be by to get our order. She brought us our iced tea's and went over and sat at a booth across from us folding napkins and alternating between text messaging and talking on her phone. After sitting for 25 minutes I asked the hostess who was passing by to ask our waitress to bring us our check. The hostess returned all confused because she couldn't seem to find either of the 2 waitresses who were allegedly working that night but said the bartender would bring the bill. After another 10 minutes or so some guy - I assume it was the bartender- walked up and wordlessly dropped the bill on the table and walked away. Just then a gal walked up with menu's. The hostess blurted out "they're leaving". The waitress just said oh and walked away. I grabbed the check which was for the 2 iced teas and we walked up to the register where the guy who always seems to be either on the phone or talking to a group of young girls was talking on the phone. I dropped the bill on the counter and with barely an acknowledgement he rang up the charge on the register. I looked at him and said "really!" This seemed to surprise and upset him as he had to stop his phone conversation to find out what was going on. I told him we had been there for now almost an hour had not been waited on and for our trouble had nothing but 2 iced teas. He looked at me and without a flinch said well that's all I'm charging you for. I paid for the iced teas told him to keep the change.
I understand that there are "off" nights when staff are short and things get missed. But this was a repeat visit and the experience was an escalation from prior visits to complete and utter indifference from the wait staff to the managers/owners. A completely unacceptable and unnecessary experience earning a permanent "will not return / will not recommend" for the Airport Grocery. -

We waited almost 10 minutes at our table before anyone even glanced our direction, and they only did so after I made a comment to my husband about leaving and going somewhere else. Evidently, during the week, they are short staffed between 5 & 6 which coincidentally coincides with the hour most families want dinner... Our visit was no exception, they were packed & only had one waitress on the floor.
I grew up eating cheese sticks & BBQ from this place, so it's what I was looking forward to and was excited hubs had agreed we could give them another shot after a 6 month boycott over similar issues. Appetizers arrived cheese sticks & tamales.... tamales turned out to be so spicy none of us could eat them so the basket of cheese sticks went fast with our 2 boys eating most of them before we could get a taste.
But, we couldn't order more because it was 25 minutes before we saw any staff again, and at that point it was a cook bringing us cold food. We asked him to clear the appetizer dishes so we would have room for everything and he acted irritated, but complied with the request.
That was it as far as service. We sat with rock hard, cold food and empty drinks long enough for the boys to eat because they were "starving." I took hubs hamburger steak to the bar & asked if they could warm it up... We didn't see it again until everyone at the table was done eating.
I found it amusing that they were prompt about cashing us out. In all fairness, they didn't charge us for the hamburger steak because the girl that returned it to us agreed it was one of the most disgusting things she'd ever seen.
It gets 2 stars because despite it being cold, the cheese sticks & BBQ sandwich were exactly what I was craving. But, I doubt we will return anytime soon. -

Fun kitschy hang out in Cleveland. Food was quite good (I had the catfish sandwich and shared baskets of fried pickles and fried mushrooms). Fried pickles are the best invention ever! The catfish was pretty good and non-greasy. Service was friendly and efficient. Main downside was that (like every place in Mississippi) they allow smoking...smelled like an ash tray on the way out.

Fun place, great atmosphere, great service, great fried pickles & fried craw fish! Fun place to go with a group to eat or watch a game (lots of TVs). Went on the recommendation of yelp & the hotel front desk. Food was just OK, but this is still definitely one of the best places to go in Cleveland!

If you want bbq, tamales, or a terrific mixed drink this is the establishment to get it. The menu is large and varied - they offer several different po boys and many main dishes. My favorite appetizer is the bbq nachos. Nachos smothered with pulled pork, bbq sauce, and jalapeno peppers. And if you didn't get enough bbq sauce on your order - don't worry. There is a bottle of bbq sauce sitting on each table. Squeeze to your heart's content! On Saturday nights don't be surprised to find the place packed and a local blues band on the stage. The bartenders at this place make a mean bloody mary.

This place has a nice setup - roomy with plenty of TVs and a couple of pool tables. Also a good selection of imported beers. The food was so-so. For an appetizer I had fried pickles, which were very tasty. For an entree I had the grilled catfish, which had a weird consistency. The chocolate cake didnt sound very interesting but was pretty good. I did not notice the smoke like a previous reviewer, but I went their on a Tuesday

This is a cute place and it's a Cleveland establishment. The food I've had there has just been okay, but they have a varied menu and I'll likely try it again sometime. It has a good atmosphere and I think live music (though not when I've been). The service I got was friendly but not very attentive, and one of the other waitresses appeared to be stressed out and in the weeds big time even though there were very few other people there. My biggest complaint, though, is that although it wasn't noticeable in the restaurant (thank goodness!), my clothes and hair smelled of cigarettes when I got home. Yuck!
