What reviewers say about Sauce the City
Diners say this restaurant serves up delicious fried chicken sandwiches. They also highlight the importance of supporting black-owned businesses. Some reviews mention the wait times can be long.
“This place is AMAZING. The food was SO flavorful and delicious. I got the cilantro Buffalo tenders which were incredible, and my husband got the Cleveland hot sandwich and loaded fries which were excellent (and not too spicy). The staff were super kind and friendly, explained the menu to us, checked on us, gave us drink on the house, and told us they hoped to see us back soon when we left. They were seriously so kind and combined with the awesome food, we had the best experience. Will definitely be back next time we are in Cleveland!”
“Maybe I'm crazy, but I cannot find this place and their social media has not responded. I've found nothing driving by the Moen location, and the Rocket location seems to be only accessible with event tickets. I'm happy to update this review once someone responds to let me know if/where I can find this place without buying event tickets. 🙏 Update: Thanks for responding. The one time I had food from here was memorably delicious, so my rating has been updated. Hopefully we'll be able to access this restaurant again soon!”
“Loved the Dete wings! The art 🎨 work on the the walls, was stellar... ✨️! The fries could've 🍟 been more crunchy. The Philly fries was still pretty good anyway. I want to try the street corn next time 🌽😉. Staff was genuinely friendly. Thanks for the free soda, that was very generous 😀!”
