Great experience all around at Meat BBQ. Went on a Friday night at 6pm and the restaurant was full,…read morebut we were sat right away. It's also very nice that despite the place being full, it wasn't loud. They don't play background music that drowns out the conversation. It felt more relaxing that a typical dinner spot. Service was attentive and quick. Apps arrived within 10-15min of ordering and entrees were another 15 minutes after that. The show stopper here is the BBQ. The smoked chicken wings are some of the best wings we've ever had. The BBQ nachos are packed with flavor with fresh toppings. Only thing we ordered that didn't meet expectations were the broccoli slaw. We will come back many more times.

Hands-down, best barbecue in Michigan! They smoked wings are…read morethe best I've ever had. And I've had a lot. The ribs are amazing almost on par with Austin Texas. Their brisket melts in your mouth. They're sandwiches are absolute hogs. The staff is great and their tap lineup is top-notch. It's about a 35 to 40 minute drive for me to get here and I get here often because it's worth it . Trust me you will not find better barbecue anywhere in this state.

Whew! I never expected to give a 5-star rating to a BBQ food truck out of Elsie, MI, but Clyde's…read morePit sure deserves it. I have heard of their food from friends and happened upon them at an event in St. Johns. They served up a full menu of brisket, burnt ends, pork, ribs, and chicken. They also had an apple slaw and loaded mashed potatoes, along with their signature sauces. It was all delicious. I had their meats taco-style, one chicken and one pork with slaw and a spicy crema (sour cream). The meat was so smoky with a robust flavor that wasn't salty. The slaw and cream amplified the flavors of the meat, and didn't distract from it. Before leaving, I picked up a plate of what was left, chicken and burnt ends. My partner ate some last night after the drive home, and I just finished some (24 hours later). The flavor is still spot on, and the meat is still tender. The owners of this BBQ joint seem to love what they do. They do it very well. I can't wait to track them down again.

(See comment below) We went further down and seen Bruno's bar where ppl outside said to go if we were looking for the place to eat. It was confusing. But we went in Bruno's bar. (See Bruno's bar review!!) So the reason why it's a 3 review is because of the confusion between Deanos and Brunos, Deanos cooks for Bruno's!!!!! I would eat from here again. But it shouldn't be so confusing and just combine them!! Later in the night we did order pizza from Delano's. We went in what looked like "the back door" into the kitchen and only had a counter. You could see everything. Maybe 3 ppl could fit in there. My recommendation would to make it all one place and have a pickup spot or to go (Deanos)

This is a gem!! A little hole in the wall but packs so much flavor. Gumps BBQ is hidden in an…read moreindustrial area, and unless you're looking for it...you won't find it. It is small with only three high tables with stools to dine in. The place is hot (summertime) and there are industrial fans going so you can't really listen to the tv playing FX movies. No music just the sound of spatulas cooking delicious meals. They have pork and brisket is their main forte, with breakfast options including eggs. I have only picked up the brisket meat bowls with cheese potatoes for my family, and they keep asking for it. I absolutely love this place even though they don't have any options for me to eat (I don't eat pork/beef) the service is amazing and people are so friendly with extensive knowledge of menu and talkative. Just good old Midwest friendliness. I love supporting local businesses that merit a shout out for their food. If you are ever in Lansing, this is one place you MUST visit.

I chose River House Grill this trip since it was a beautiful night, and on the water. While getting off the interstate and heading in to town, I noticed this eerie presence, nothing was open, signs were dark, stop lights not working... I got to River House and a few regulars were still milling around the bar, I was told they were closed due to a power outage throughout the entire city. After some conversation, they said if I had cash, I could still buy a beer (always carry cash!). The regulars moved on, and I was finishing my drink when the power comes back on! The owner Mike had already sent most of his staff home, as the estimated power restoration was well beyond their normal operating hours, but he said he would turn the fryers back on, and start the pizza oven since I was there. I told him he didn't have to and I would head back to East Lansing, but he insisted, at this point I was the only one in the place! Ordered a pizza, and boy was it delish! By the time my pizza had arrived, a few others had managed to come in and fill up the place! Thanks to Mike, Jen (bartender) and the staff who stayed! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu, and see the renovations next time I'm in the area! Cheers!

My significant other and I were regulars here. It was our favorite location. Due to issues we will…read moreonly go if there is live music here. I'll post the pros and cons. Pros: 1. The food is amazing! 2 It's very clean. 3. One waitress in particular (Kristen) is the best waitress there. 4 The glasses come super iced over, so it keeps drinks cold longer. 5. I love that they have outdoor seating. 6. Dave the owner is super friendly and has treated us very well. Cons: 1. UNless you have beer in a mug, it's warm. 2. The BBQ sauce bottles don't get cleaned often enough. A lot of times there is dried up sauce all over the bottles. 3. One waitress is a liar (and caused another waitress to yell at us), 4. Another waitress makes it obvious when she doesn't like someone (one waitress is Sarah and I don't remember the other girls name...possibly Katie, but not positive), I saw how the long dark brown haired girl treated a guy that was being nice. I could tell she didn't like him. 5. Red, which is one of the owners is rude to almost everyone i see her talk to (customer and staff), 6. They charge $0.50 more than what the beers are posted as, even after telling multiple waitresses about it, a Michelob Ultra draft is suppose to be $4.50, but they continue to charge $5 7. The wait is so unbelievably slow. I see the waitresses making drinks, putting stuff on the plates, answering to-go orders, ringing people up, so they don't have enough time to wait on customers that are sitting at tables. It should NEVER take 40 mins to get a beverage after ordering it. I've seen multiple complaints on the slowness. We no longer eat here because of all the cons. If you don't treat your customers better, we would come back. I hate leaving a low star rating.
