Moved out of Portage 5 yrs ago. Driving down S Westnedge I noticed many new businesses. One being a…read moreCity BBQ. My Florabama (Southern Alabama) reared wife thought BBQ sounded good. I'm always hopeful but heck this IS the North. It seems something falls short. At least for our meals City BBQ was fantastic! Wife had pulled pork sandwich, baked beans & potato salad. Potato salad had that southern type whipped potato coating on the potato chunks. Me? I had two meats. Great pulled pork & chicken. Tried ALL of the BBQ sauces. If anything negative was to be said, would be the meats were quite juicy. Oh Well! I'll suffer!! Excellent coleslaw. Not too much vinegar or attempt to cover old cabbage with too much cream. Perfect balance. Now my big surprise for here. Collard greens. PERFECT side dish!!! Then there's Bob at the register. Friendly, willing to offer information on the menu. Too many now days could care less. But HE was upbeat & made you feel like you choose the right place to eat. Also every employee working there had a nice smile. Simple business benefit that doesn't cost anything to implement. I did not get the name of the nice employee who brought me my walking staff, but he did it with another nice smile & a warm laugh. I will come back to CITY BBQ to see if they continue to give the same kind of service & excellent BBQ with that extra attention paid to those telling side dishes.

We were served a fresh batch of warm cinnamon buns to start, and I ordered a Sprite along with a mango margarita with Tajín on the rim. The margarita was probably one of the better parts of the meal. For entrées, we got the Country Fried Sirloin (8/10) and the Smothered Chicken (6/10). The sirloin was good and I'd order it again, but there wasn't anything particularly memorable about it. The chili and salad sides were both solid. The smothered chicken was pretty basic and could have used more seasoning. The onions and mushrooms seemed undercooked, and the cheese topping wasn't anything special. The fries had good seasoning but tasted a little stale. The mac and cheese was the biggest disappointment--it was bland and lacked flavor. The noodles were cooked well, but I didn't even finish it. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal, which I appreciated. Overall, the experience was okay, but nothing stood out enough to make me want to return to this location.

Now I need to go and get TNTed windows before someone tries to shoot me while entering or leaving this place, which would somewhat TNT my experience. And would be TNTamount to murder. If you thought TNT was all about Major Crimes and Rizzoli & Isles, then do I have a surprise for you. Welcome to one of the best BBQ places in the USA. What to get: Pulled Pork, Rib Tips, Cabbage, All The Sides, Banana Pudding How to tickle Barbie: A Touch Of her Sole If you thought TnT was Trinidad & Tobago, or explosives, or Tushies N Tails (a weird group of butt fetishists), you were wrong. Well you were right, but none of those TnTs matter now. Not now that ATOS exists in Kalamazoo. Because, ladies n gents, it's the best soul food in the Great White North, the best food in the state of Michigan, and one of the 5 best BBQ places in the entire USA (including TX, KC, TN, NC and so on). No, for the billionth time, I'm not exaggerating. One portion could literally feed a family. And will cost next to nothing. All the more reason for you to come check it out. So this BBQ in Kalamazoo (the town and the food genre rhyme - see, it was meant to be - hmm, I wonder if Katmandu has good BBQ) was one of the best things I've ever eaten. And the best value-for-money meal I've ever had, with notable memorable service as well. Firstly, they recommended the rib tips with green beans - both among the most delicious things I've ever eaten. At only $5 for a mini, which was enough food to feed a family, I just can't. Wow. I went marching right back in for a pulled pork sandwich, and with that they gave me some spectacular cabbage - even better than the green beans - and a side of spaghetti which was wonderful, if a little sweet (like my ex). Even if you're a vegetarian, the sides are worth driving hours for. The sandwich had coleslaw (sort of like sod's law), and enough pulled pork to feed an army (not that I would want to feed an army, I'm a pacifist). It was perfection. They slipped me some yumsy sweet cornbread and the most spectacular banana pudding I've ever eaten. Food-wise that is. In general, your boyfriend's Banana Pudding is incomparable. I don't know how they do it, but these people cook better than pretty much anyone. Maybe because Marvin Berry works here (Chuck's cousin), and he hired someone that really cooks. The tragedy is that most will never know what perfect BBQ is, because they skip places like this, since it's in Kalamazoo, in a beauty mart. You skip this, you skip life itself. And no I've NEVER exaggerated in my LIFE. They seemed to figure out without me saying a word (I never do) that I write reviews, because they kept whispering about what I need to eat, in order to give them 5 Stars. I'm pretty sure they didn't know me from Yelp - perhaps they saw me taking pictures of a hot dog in the parking lot (from Ray Ray's, also amazing, and the other K-zoo place you must try). Anyway, that might be why they gave me half their store for cheap prices, but even then, the given to other patrons, masses. Let's just say that they give you more meat than me on a weekend night, and more sides than a dodecahedron, or even a triacontagon, and if you decide to make out with me, I promise I don't haveacontagion. Now I'm gonna let the teens close out this review: If you don't know what the fuss is ABT Then you need to come here AFAIC And you need to do it ASAP (But first send me your ASLP) Gotta go pee, I'll BBIAB OK that was quick, I'm BAC I need some BBQ, so DAE?

I was surprised that the drink was free with the meal. But, the menu was posted along the walkway to the cash register and the selection was confusing. It was to the point where we were just going to order a couple soft drinks when we met Sarah. Sarah had been talking with a couple of other guests and coworkers until she noticed us. She hurried over and started explaining how the ordering process works. I was really thankful for her proactive and professional response when she saw a problem. Explaining that we are diabetic, she helped us design our meal in a very health conscious manner. The food arrived while we were still getting our drinks. She was incredibly aware of all the things happening around the business and worked to keep the customers happy. We got the two meat platter with macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. It was all very well prepared and presented nicely. The place wasn't too busy on Friday mid-afternoon. Very pleasant. We and Sarah exchanged farewells and we left, happy and satisfied. I hope that when management reads about Sarah they will realize that she is the epitome of customer service. I think Sarah would be a great company wide trainer. Susannkae@yahoo.com
