Smokehouse 91
Located next door to The Village Butcher, which is also owned by Carl Quagliata and Zach Ladner, the fast-casual eatery is a natural extension of the high-quality butcher shop next door. Ladner describes the restaurant as a “stripped down, bare bones, traditional Texas barbecue.” Unlike at Smokin’ Q’s, the barbecue restaurant that Ladner and Quagliata replaced with Cuoco Bello, Smokehouse 91 will be primarily carryout. The meats, cooked for hours in an offset smoker, will be sold mainly by the pound (1/2-pound minimum). Guests can expect a roster that includes brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, sausage and chicken. The meats will be carved to order and served with sliced white bread, pickles and onions. The sides and sauces are classic but tweaked. Credit: Courtesy photo
Smokehouse 91 (822 SOM Ctr. Rd.), the new barbecue place from Carl Quagliata and Zach Ladner, is set to open in Mayfield on Tuesday, March 11. Located next door to The Village Butcher (818 SOM Ctr. Rd., 440-565-7330), which is also owned by the chefs, the fast-casual eatery is a natural extension of the high-quality butcher shop.
Ladner describes the restaurant as a “stripped down, bare bones, traditional Texas barbecue.” Unlike at Smokin’ Q’s, the barbecue restaurant that Ladner and Quagliata replaced with Cuoco Bello, Smokehouse 91 will be primarily carryout.

Guests can expect a roster that includes brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, sausage and chicken.
The meats will be carved to order and served with sliced white bread, pickles and onions. The sides and sauces will be classic but tweaked.
“We wanted to do this very old-school — the traditional Texas way,” says Ladner.
