    Cheeseburger

    When I first the restaurant, the vibe was absolutely very traditional. It had cool history props and bobble heads in the restaurant. It's a place of history, I'll give it that. The service was amazing, I was seated and the lady took my order ASAP. The food was amazing, the burger was so juicy. It tasted like an unseasoned steak. It was so juicy, I almost had to move my caboosey and start dancing. But I didn't, it's a great place and I can't wait to see how the one in Saline compares. Keep it up foodie fam.

    Very good place kind of in the middle of nowhere. Not your average rib tips. These things are basically fatty ribs. Collard greens have pork in them and are some of the best around. We've been going out of our way to come here since it's about 45 minute drive but worth it. Got to sit in the patio today!!! Server was spectacular!

    I had the smoked sausage. It was really good. My girlfriend had the clam chowder and said it was luke warm and not very good.

    We started with the hush puppies with honey butter, which we really enjoyed. I had the goblet which was just okay. I ate it but didn't love it, I would try something new next time. The Mac n cheese was very good and my boyfriend liked what he got. The atmosphere was very cute and the staff was very friendly. We will most likely return.

    BBQ is what Bone Heads does best and my meal was definitely on point! I ordered the Texas Brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries (there's an upcharge for these) and it was very satisfying. Tender brisket topped with coleslaw, crispy onion straws, and bbq sauce on top of two thick pieces of toasted bread. The mixture of flavors was heavenly and the brisket was tender! I also recommend the sweet potato fries with the lightly flavored horseradish sauce - a perfect combo! This meal was so good I was wanting to go back for the same the next day! As far as atmosphere, Bone Heads is definitely a family dining establishment and it's the decor is little outdated. It maybe part of the atmosphere there are striving for it just wanted to let you know. It's definitely not a hip place and may not make the best impression for a first date. I will definitely go back here and recommend you go too if in the area.

    Really cool building. Very historic. Felt authentic. The service was good. I ordered the burger. It was just ok for me. I should have ordered what my buddy did the fried chicken gravy and mashed potatoes. He gave me a bite it was perfectly cooked.

    Smothered Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese!

    Second times a charm... I went to this place about a month ago for the first time and if I was to review it then, It would be totally different reviews. I wanted to give this restaurant a chance to change my mind and they did. Now, this place has been here for years but just like the rest of the paranormal activity believers, I was too skeptical to enter the place. I mean it's rated on the most haunted places in Michigan list and I'd rather NOT be greeted in the restroom, by beloved dear aunt Sally, circa 1973 while I'm trying to do my business. On to the food..I ordered the fried chicken, garlic mash and chicken tortilla soup and a side of Mac and cheese. The fried chicken had gravy and so did the mash. The flavors are superb, chicken extra crispy even underneath the gravy but still super most and cooked to perfection. The garlic mash wasn't over garlicky, perfect taste and consistency with the gravy. The Mac and cheese was just okay in the flavor department but the noodles were cooked great and the cheese sauce with sprinkles of shredded cheese on top gave it a bit of a home cooked flair. THE SOUP... best part of the meal, so many veggies so much soul and flavor I drank the juice. Five stars for me.... Yes yes yes will return!!!

    Brisket, collard greens and baked beans.

    Best thing about this place was the locals great outdoor dining snd awesome interior decor. Food was good, not great. A few thing wrong. The brisket l had too much bark (a bit charred) and I personally don't like when the meat automatically comes with sauce. I want to taste the meat. Beans were good and the collar greens were great. Wish there was honey butter for the cornbread. #spicemeister moderately approved.

    For atmosphere, this place has it, hands down! I couldn't get enough of all the ambiance, from furniture and decor to the appearing-authentic walls, banister, ceilings and lights. The menu made it challenging to pick a meal, no doubt! The pictures and smells led me to believe I couldn't go wrong. Still I struggled over the Broasted Chicken or the Texas Barbeque Ruben. ... did I mention the ice tea is actually sweetened? Yay & yum! ... I decided to get the Texas sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. Oh my word, the sandwich sent me to another world. The blend of coleslaw and bbq brisket brought my senses so much pleasure. And the Sweet Potato Fries had a horseradish dip, making that a perfect blend as well. Bonehead's has a beautiful way of bringing delicious flavors together. Added the bread pudding to top off the meal. While it was delicious, I would have preferred it warmed.

    Decidedly not bad. I would have preferred if the meat had arrived at the table without barbecue sauce on it, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. I had pulled pork with green beans and baked beans. Both sides were tasty. The meat didn't have much smoke flavor, but it was tender and tasty. Hubby has brisket which I can report was also tasty, probably a bit better than my pulled pork. The place was slammed, but hey -- it was Saturday night. The waitresses hustled like nobody's business, trying to take care of everyone. All in all, I would return.

    Pig wings - AMAZING!!

    See all

    Great food and a wonderful staff. The food was very good and you get so much that you need a "to go" container.

    Cuppy's Best Soulful Cafe

    (208 reviews)

    $$

    If Cheers had a soul food cousin, Cuppy's would be it. Pimp and I were heading home from Jackson…read moreand was itching for some soul food. We hit the spot!!!! To begin with, the experience starts before you can get both feet in the door. Being new, Alexis greeted us as if we were new found cousins. Quaint, yet classy, with decor that reflects the warmth of the establishment as a whole. Very clean. Pimp had the Pork Chop dinner with cabbage and collard greens. I had the Catfish with greens and yams. All I can say is ...... who big maw back there putting the foots in them greens??? Everything was impeccable. The wait was ..... wellllll. It was well worth it. What amazed me more than the food was how nearly everyone who walked through that door was GREETED BY NAME. 30 minute drive from my home. We will be back.

    Wow! Believe the hype! This place is such a unique, comforting place to have deeply flavorful food…read more The staff is incredibly friendly, the music is on point and the food is seasoned to perfection. They even Have games to play. We decided to start with catfish nuggets while we played Uno. They were perfection. The seasoning was just right and they were not greasy or heavy at all. Next, we ordered the shrimp po boy , sampler with yams, collards, Mac, mashed potatoes and gravy and cornbread. Amazing. The collards are the best I've had and yams had the perfect spices. We splurged on bean pie for dessert. Do not pass this up. It's unexpected and creamy. We will put this spot on heavy rotation.
