Ok so let me tell you we waited for a table for a long time I think maybe two hours. But I have no…read moreregrets. This place is amazing and the service is even better if that is possible. This is a MUST stop if you are in Michigan. I loved this place and we were 8 people. So let's get to the food it was really good we ordered ribs and brisket. It was really good and flavorful. For sides we got macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and corn. The macaroni and cheese was really good, creamy and cheesy. The corn was really good and had flavor. My mom had the coleslaw and didn't like it. The cornbread was delicious and soft and airy. Now let's talk about this amazing great service, our waitress name was Brooke. So this place has a long wait and it was BUSY. Brooke was so nice and patient with us. She checked on us and because we waited so long she even gave us appetizers on the house. Brooke was very kind and she was genuine. Definitely a good time. The appetizers we had were really good, the nachos were so good and so were the wings. The wings were perfect flavorful, smoked and plump. The place is friendly and feels like a neighborhood hangout. This was the highlight of my trip and like I said, I will be back. I learned my lesson and next time we will come early plus we were a big group. The other option would be to order your food to go.

The atmosphere here is like walking into an Old Western bar that happens to sell bbq. The dark…read morelighting very much has a candle light feel to it. I ordered the Logg Sampler Platter ($56). This comes with 4 meats, 4 sides, and 4 pieces of Cornbread. I got Pulled Pork, Brisket, Smoked Wings, and Ribs ($8 upcharge) for my meats. For the sides I got Mac N Cheese, Bbq Pit Beans, Mashed Potatoes, and Spicy Creamed Corn. Overall everything was good and well cooked. From best to least it was Ribs, Brisket, Smoked Wings, and then the Pulled Pork. I would get the ribs and brisket again, but probably pass on the wings and pulled pork. The Bbq beans were only okay, oddly enough as cold leftovers they were much better. The Mac N Cheese was okay, but I wouldn't get it again. The Mashed Potatoes were very good. The spicy Cream Corn was excellent, they weren't lying it has a spicy kick! Funny enough the best thing was the Cornbread. It was fantastic, some of the best I've had. The worst thing? The sauces. They all were not good at all. The most tolerable one is their regular sauce, still a c minus. The service was good, but I was asked how I was doing about a hundred times. Still everyone was friendly. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? If I was in Lansing then Yes. It is quality bbq cooked by someone with skill. I just might bring my own bbq sauce.

Fantastic hand crafted sandwiches- best I have ever had honestly (high quality and hand crafted)…read more Great items for sale in the shop also hand made/smoked. What a hidden gem in Frankenmuth. We will most certainly be back. 2 sandwiches were $30 total so pricey and charge for using a card so just know not cheap.

Worth Browsing, but I'd Skip the Food…read more Willi's Sausage is part meat market, part general store and part sausage diner--and unfortunately, it feels like it hasn't quite decided what it wants to be in the middle of a very tourist-focused market. We stopped in specifically hoping to get a good German bratwurst. What we received was much more like a hot-dog-style sausage than what we would consider a traditional bratwurst. It was good enough, but it definitely wasn't the authentic German brat we were hoping to find. It tasted more like something you might purchase prepackaged from a grocery-store deli than a fresh brat from a specialty sausage shop. We also ordered a pickle, which was actually very flavorful. It was served whole in a Ziploc bag, which was a little unexpected, and while the flavor was good, the skin was extremely tough. The biggest disappointment was the disconnect between the meat market and the food being served. With the sausages and other products displayed in the meat cases, based on their in store sign, we expected something fresh and house-made. Instead, our meal gave us the impression that many of the prepared ingredients may be purchased premade rather than being the same type of homemade products the market appears to specialize in. We sat at a quaint, little table where we were served after we ordered at the counter. The staff was nice but not overly friendly. There's an opportunity here to make the food counter a showcase for what's being sold in the butcher cases--fresh sausages cooking, great smells filling the store and customers getting to taste the products before taking some home. That would make the whole concept come together. As it is, I'm not sure Willi's has a firm grasp on its identity yet. I'd still stop in while exploring Frankenmuth to browse the store and meat market, but based on our experience, I'd skip eating here and look elsewhere for a good German

Meat Moot Smoking

I was in the mood for something new and different, and this fit the bill. Located near a gym and an…read moreaxe-throwing, football bowling, ice curling activity space, Meat Moot serves various smoked meats, beef brisket, lamb and beef ribs, and lamb shank. The meats are cooked on the premises in large black smokers that line one side of a large, modern, industrial space. I liked the restaurant's aesthetics. Sunlight streamed through large floor-to-ceiling windows; the dark ceiling highlighted the white ductwork, and the cement floors added to the restaurant's vibe. Guests order their preferred meats by weight at the counter. I ordered brisket, seasoned with house spices and drizzled with honey. At the time of ordering, guests pay for their meal and later receive a check to add a tip. A server brings your meal to your table, along with a beverage and several sides and sauces. The brisket was well-prepared; it was tender and had a nice bark. Flavored rice, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, salsa, and more accompanied the meal. All was good, even though I try not to indulge in carbs. I love the sauces (barbecue, honey mustard, chimichurri, hot sauce, and more), but I couldn't identify all of them. The server was efficient and professional and checked on me throughout the meal.

This place does meat right, but the sides are mediocre and the service is usually pretty hit or…read moremiss. We've been here 4-5 times and always order the same thing - beef ribs + beef brisket. It's well seasoned, tender, and theres always plenty of leftovers. But the service - you can't get refills on your sides / drink without having to flag someone down. Tonight - our service was rough. Table settings were missing silverware, so we had to wait to eat (even though we had food at our table). The server was spotty on checking in on us - by the time she made it back to the table, we were completely out of drinks / rice. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll come back. There's just too many other places to eat at where the service really makes or breaks the experience.
