Good food! friendly service. You order at the counter and take a seat, and they bring your stuff to you. They do need some type of number system, as we saw lots of confusion delivering food to tables. You can pick out your drink while you wait in line. The ambiance is clean, hip, bbq light, gender neutral bathrooms. The surf and turf taco was great...smoky brisket and snappy shrimp. The queso and chips was also very good, sturdy chips and a real nice cheese queso, not velveeta. Overall excellent...I''ll come back. read more

Went here on a Wednesday after work around 3 pm and place was nice but I wasn't the biggest fan of the food. Couple things. Food took 16 min after I ordered which is fine for a restaurant but not for tacos. I got the chicken apple taco and the pulled pork taco. The chicken apple taco was fine, I wish the apples brought more flavor instead of just the texture. Now the pulled pork bbq taco I was looking forward to since I really like bbq pulled pork. The pulled pork taco didn't have much pulled pork and was mostly sauce, the avocado cream was way overpowering and abundant where sometimes you would just get a bite of avocado, and the bbq sauce was barely there, wish there was more I could add myself on the table. Overall I was disappointed but I guess I didn't try all the options. read more

I was pleasantly surprised because I don't always love the bbq/ taco marriage however my husband wanted to try this place. We were the only people there which was sad because the food was great. I got the smoked chicken taco it was tender and the apple salsa on top was perfect . tortilla was also very tender and delicious. My husband got surf n turf nachos their chips are good in particular . We also tried corn bread beans and slaw all were unique and tasty. Would for sure go back when in the area. read more

Very very casual. Order at the counter and seat yourself. When we tried to find a seat there were a lot of empty dirty tables. Food came pretty fast. If I could suggest one thing to the owners... get rid of the salt shaker! I love salty and even I thought it was too salty. read more

Great service. very knowledgeable about gluten free options. My husband and I were walking around Bay City and hadn't eaten yet, so we gave this place a go. Staff was very friendly. The tots were a tad bit on the salty side, however, they would be perfectly paired with a nice adult beverage. read more

Legit. Great southwest/bbq fusion food. Local eatery, it's awesome. Cool downtown vibe & the food is awesome.

Always great food! Love their mushroom taco and brisket mac and cheese! Great service and beautiful building as well!

Unique and flavorful. Food was hot and tasty. We had chips & queso (needs a larger portion of queso for the price) and tacos:, tri-tip, apple chicken, brisket, and pulled pork (yawn). Service was quick and friendly. Priced right for the quality. The place was very clean. read more

BBQ and beans with spicy flavors! Friendly service even offered frozen glass for beer. Bright eclectic seating.

We ordered a variety of tacos. I had the surf and turf and it was absolutely incredible. Super smoky, just a smidge of spice. It was a taco of my dreams. Exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and quick. The portions are large. This place is a gem. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was! I ordered a Hawaiian chicken taco and the poutine. I know, weird combination but I saw they had poutine on the menu and really wanted it. The taco ingredients were very flavorful and fresh - the size was actually pretty big - more like a size between a taco and a burrito. The price was cheap for the portion size. I really liked the flavors. The poutine was awesome - good gravy and melted cheese curds. I was in Canada recently and the poutine I had there was not as good as this place - so I would not skip it if you come here. It's a good size too so definitely shareable. The staff were polite and the space was very clean and cool looking. Would definitely come back and recommend this for lunch/dinner if you are in the area. read more

Visited for the first time with a frequent visitor. Large dining area. Picnic tables. Great music playlist! The staff were friendly. Ambiance was decent. Clean venue. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We ate shrimp taco, homemade taylor tots and chicken nachos. The shrimp taco was delish. The nachos were a good size. Not much chicken and the chips were very, very salty. The local who brought us raved about the spot not sure I'd return. read more

Welcomed with a smile and the smell is amazing. This is my third visit and the food is always amazing and fresh. Today I had crunch taco and tri tip taco. I'll let you know how much my husband loves the brisket taco. The crunch was filling so I couldn't eat both. My friend had the nachos and cheese and the chips are so good. Husband keeps talking about the taco I brought him. He loves it. The sauce and peppers were brilliant. read more

If pigeon wings are your desire, don't worry, they have plenty. Why not pay for full priced wings and get less than a bite in each wing. You would have to eat 50 of these things to equal a chicken sandwich. Soooo disappointed read more

Barquebc is a must when you're visiting Bay City! As you walk up to the store front, they have a large "patio" for outdoor seating. The inside has plenty of seating for even the busiest of days downtown. The menu is hard to choose from because everything looks so darn good! The service was friendly and fast, and I was far from disappointed. I ordered the Brisket Quesadilla and the Chicken Apple Taco! My only recommendation would be if you're a BBQ place clashing with Mexican is to put out BBQ sauce or hot sauce on the tables. The waitress was nice enough to bring out some BBQ sauce for me! read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Not only was the food delicious (and it is fantastic) the wait staff was wonderful. We had a very large party that came all at once, and they went out of their way to accommodate us (outside no less). There are plenty of gluten free options for those of you that need it, and the quality of the GF options is superb. If you are looking for a great lunch in Bay City, you should stop in. read more

Such good food! Amazing atmosphere and the service was stellar! Would definitely come back when we're in town! read more

Great food. I love this place. The surf n turf taco is by far my favorite thing, but today was taco Tuesday and I wanted crunchy tacos. I also got the poutine, which is great. The staff is always friendly and wonderful. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming. Arguably good music playing. read more

I've always liked this place. Good food. Reasonably priced. Nice variety. But if you can't fill orders, don't take them. Put a sign on the door, "Sorry, closed due to staffing issues." I'm here for lunch and have been waiting for 35 minutes. If you come here, check to make sure the guy isn't alone. Unless you like to wait. I won't be back for the time being. read more

Been here a few times over the past year and it fails to disappoint. Had almost every food item even the the one I didn't like which was a pineapple mushroom taco I can respect it because I can at least I can recommend it to someone who likes that type of food. Beyond that everything looks and smells nice and it's crazy that a place owned by (no offense) white people are doing better than most Mexican places not mad just baffled and ashamed. I highly respect this place cause it does things so right that it makes a kids menu look and taste like a delicacy. Trust me if you order the kids menu you will not be disappointed. All in all fantastic place just wish it was closer to me but that's all. read more

Visiting family in the area and they highly recommended this place. Living near DC/Baltimore I know all about the food truck/hipster vibe. That seems to be what they're going for here. I decided to try the brisket taco. At $8 or $9 each it was pretty pricey. One wasn't enough to fill me up. I wasn't about to order a second overpriced taco. I prefer to support local places, but within reason. The portions are too small for the amount they're charging. I'd expect $30 per person. Maybe have it 3 tacos for 20 to make it more reasonable If they started offering pulled pork or brisket separately, that might increase business for people who don't want a taco. I'm scared how much they'd charge per pound. Personally I'd much rather go to mission bbq (their flagship store is only a few miles from my house) or smoke my own meats. read more

This place is awesome. First time eating here and had the OMG Breakfast Taco with a side of the Garlic Parm Texas Taters. Both were excellent. The taco had great flavor, everything I'd want in a breakfast taco/burrito. And the Texas Taters??? Wow, so fresh, crispy, with the right amount of seasoning. Give this place a try, you won't regret it. read more

Excellent food and great service. Very friendly staff, they even want you to leave your waste and they clean the tables. If you are in the mood for great Tacos try the Shrimp Taco (loaded with shrimp) or the Brisket Taco, superb. Space is friendly and inviting with both indoor and outdoor options. read more

SUPER good food. I had the Apple chicken queso taco and the mushroom taco. Both superb. A must-have is their house made chips! They're loaded with Parmesan and seasonings and they give you a heaping basket full. It's not cheap but I also wouldn't call it expensive. Decent pricing for unique food. They also have a cooler full of different beers/seltzers to enjoy with your meal. I went there on a date and stayed for 2 hours just talking and they weren't rude or pushy with us staying and talking which was super nice and made us feel relaxed. Definitely try this place out! read more

Third visit is just as impressive as the first. The staff is friendly, service is great, food is exceptional. I live an hour north and this is my go to place when I'm in the area. Won't hesitate to come back. They accommodated me wanting lettuce instead of a tortilla and gave me a taco bowl. read more

Delicious food! Everyone was super friendly and we had fun playing mini cornhole while we waited for our food. Great prices as well.

Very yummy. Popped in here the Sunday before Labor Day for BBQ and was not disappointed. We got the Mac n cheese with brisket (yum) and pulled pork taco. Chips and queso was really good, nice selection of seasonal beers. Nice atmosphere and staff (: read more

Clean, friendly, wonderful service, and the food was delicious. I'll be bringing my family back to try more.

World BBQ traveler here. Love this place. Cool vibe, great tunes and awesome food. The spiral chips were much better than fries and the brisket taco was awesome. My only request would be that it would be great if they had some bbq sauce on the tables. Service was top notch. These guys really care. I'll be back. read more

Yum. So yum. Two of us have celiac disease, and we were thrilled that they have so many gf options. My daughter loved the gf Mac n cheese and we appreciated that they paid so much attention to detail that they even had gf breadcrumbs on top. We watched them clean the area (without us asking!) where they made our food so there was no cross-contamination. I had the trough nachos with pulled pork and they were delicious. I've never had avocado cream, and now I know that's what's been missing on all my nachos. My husband had the shrimp taco and cowboy beans, and we almost fought over the last bite of the beans. They were incredibly nice and knowledgeable about gluten free. We wish we lived closer. An added plus- Really reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

A gem of a place for killer tacos and one of my favorites overall in the bay city area. Delicious food with unexpected flavor combinations. Being from Philly, a real foodie city, I put this up there with some of the best casual food around. They don't serve traditional tacos in the sense of what I expected, but more so it's deliciously prepared meats & topping combinations delivered in tortillas. Their nachos with brisket cannot be missed. The ratio of toppings to chips is perfect - Do you know how awesome it is when you eat all of the chips and you still have toppings left but nothing left to scoop with? Their homemade chips are the perfect texture to withstand all of their toppings. This is a can't miss if you are in the area. Great place to have a few drinks and hangout and listen to some good tunes. read more

Food is top notch. Came out fairly quickly. Very fresh, well seasoned. We were just passing through but I wish we lived closer so we could come again. read more

Had the chicken apple taco and pulled pork taco. The flavor combinations are unique and have amazing flavor.

This place is fantastic!! Every time we drive through Bay City it is a must stop place for lunch. We have two young boys and they love the Mac and cheese and the Quesadilla. My personal favorite taco is the rib meat and the surf and turf (not on the menu.) Tim the owner is very passionate about his business and it shows. So, if you are ever hungry and in the mood for a taco this is the place to go!! Also, they now serve beer.... Who doesn't love beer and tacos. read more
