Not Much Meat Called in carry out order of 3 mac n' cheese meals. Each meal includes 2 ingredients for $12.95. Extra veggies are $1.50 and extra protein are $2.50. I clearly ordered 2 ingredients on all 3 meals. Host who took the order incorrectly added one ingredient to 2 of the meals as though it was a third ingredient, resulting in a $1.50 upcharge. When I questioned her, she chose to debate with me rather than correct her mistake. So we effectively paid for 3 ingredients when we only received 2, and didn't even see or taste the garlic (which was the ingredient charged as "extra veggie"). In addition, almost no meat in any of the macs and the meat that was there clearly was use of their scraps - fatty, grizzled and overall poor quality for a place that prides themselves on exceptional, cut-above cuisine. read more

After seeing a write up in the local paper I thought I'd check this place out. While it is obvious that it is a new business trying to get its whole customer service thing down. But the servers were polite, helpful, and attentive. It is a small place so I could see it getting crowded at dinner time. With BBQ like this there is always the chance that one or two of their featured meats will run out due to the process of slow cooking, seasoning, and prep. This is a process that makes it impossible to "just make some more" quickly enough to get it to table during a busy dinner service. All that said, I went for lunch on a Saturday, was seated right away, and quickly had my chosen dish placed in front of me. The meat was tender, well seasoned, and flavorful. The choice of sauces was a nice touch that even provided some local Michigan flare--they serve a blueberry sauce. While the blueberry was too sweet for my palate that prefers spicy sauces (of which they also have a selection) I think its presence at the table earns points for creativity. All in all, I really liked this place and will return. read more

Awesome place! So glad to see the addition to Old Town. Staff was very knowledgeable of the menu. I would like to see some additional side items added (corn bread, baked beans, slaw). They were out of several items when we visited, but it was the evening of the Festival of the Sun. I imagine the establishment was swamped all day. We hope to visit again soon. Love the pulled pork and brisket. Looking forward to trying the ribs and hope you are able to add chicken to the selections!! read more

We got there at 11:15am.....place was packed! Food is GREAT....the BBQ Nachos are very tasty....great combo of ingredients...Brisket sandwich and fries, awesome...they were out of chicken which is what I really wanted. Oh well. I didn't give it 5 stars since there are areas of improvement. I am really hoping the owners read this....There are a few things that really need improvement and the place would be PERFECT! A/C and better service! I know it's in an old building in Old Town....but there isn't an A/C.....a server had this really strong perfume on and within 5 minutes, I was gasping for air...so we moved outside. That totally confused EVERYONE....our order got mixed up.....and she just didn't know what to do.....so we just ate it since it had been over 30 minutes since we had ordered. Then we waited and waited for our check....finally walked back in to pay for it, and that too confused everyone. I would suggest after the food is dropped off, that the server checks back a few times. I know this is a new place and it takes time to work things out.....but I would suggest getting a floor MGR to make sure things move smoothly. 2 of the servers wandered a lot and really had no clue what was going on. I will give it another chance in a few weeks to see if it improves. read more

I always start with context / caveat. This place is a Bar / BBQ joint. It's not fancy and is really informal and relaxed. That said the food, man, is TOP SHELF!!! A party of 4 and we all agreed that our ribs, pulled pork and brisket was some of the best we've ever had (and we've eaten lots of BBQ). Also a very good bar and beer selection and pretty friendly and efficient service (our server James was excellent). Small place and waits can be long (we went on a Wednesday night and faced a 30 minute wait - but it was so worth it). Oh, and the cornbread is about the best I've ever had at a restaurant! BBQ fans - this place is a must do! read more

Took my group of 3 name at 620pm then was told 15 to 20 mins. Then after 30 minutes and another party of 3 that came in after me was seated they put a sold out sign up. Then after another 10 minutes one of the waiters came to tell us they can't seat us. This is the 3 rd time this happened. Only reason I go here is for the burgers but I can make a better burger at home and the BBQ is really only average. They didn't even offer a coupon or anything. Manager didn't even come out just some random server. The prior 2 times I was here the service itself was bad. Never go to this place-don't waist your time. You have been warned. read more

Meat BBQ - Warning - this place is a waste of time. Don't bother. You will find this sign up over an hour before they close every night. - Barbeque Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Great food and cool atmosphere. The rip-off Star Wars icons on the menu are a funny touch. Hope Disney doesn't find out lol

Let me start this review by saying that a lot of work went into the restaurant's three star review. This is easily a 6 star food/value joint. Today I had the ribs, beans, and mac and cheese. The meat here is, without a doubt, the best BBQ that I've ever had. The chili cheese bacon fries are amazing and make me want to order a bowl of chili for a starter here from now on. The house made sauces are amazing, just be sure to ask for an explanation of them. The Carolina mustard sauce is to die for. The major issue with this place is the service. There is always a wait, and it's because they have a MAJOR service problem here. The staff is slow and inattentive. I got here today at around 11:30, and didn't leave until a little after one. It was at least 30 minutes from the time that we finished our meal until we saw our server again. There is a big difference between being unobtrusive and inattentive. I felt bad watching people waiting to eat while we were waiting to pay and leave. This is totally unacceptable, and from what I can see reading other reviews, not an isolated incident. Do yourself a favor and eat here, but get it to go. read more

I love meat! This small restaurant serves wonderful food. Try the spicy creamed corn, you will love it! The restaurant is small, and my table, a picnic table, was a little uncomfortable. The restaurant was crowded and patrons were waiting for tables, doing their own seating, but everyone was being polite and waiting patiently. Only two overworked servers, I felt bad for them. HUGE selection of craft beer! I had pulled pork, baked beans, brisket, and spicy creamed corn. It was all excellent. There were five different kinds of BBQ sauce on the table. Dining in was fun because I was with friends. I also ordered take-out on a different day. I ordered over the phone. When I picked it up, I was given a 3-meat meal instead of the 2-meat meal I had ordered, and one of the two sides was different. I honestly believe I received someone else's order. I assume this happened because of the crowded condition, high demand for excellent food, and lack of servers. Go and enjoy the food and beer, because it honestly can't be beat. Lack of servers, space, and parking make me give Meat 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Always great food. Service brilliant too. I always go for the Meat Mountain but everything is cooked to perfection.

The only reason I am not giving them five stars is because of their service. The BBQ is EXCELLENT! We went the day after my birthday, on a Sunday, around noon. It was very busy; there was a line. We waited for about 20 mintues to be seated, and we were seated right next to the door. The problem with that table, is that rude people will come in and stand in the doorway, right next to the table. Some girl with a large ass kept rubbing said large ass on my husband's arm while he ate. Gross. The service is not good. They are extremely slow, and the waitstaff is so busy (understaffed!) that you have to flag them down for ANYthing. Normally with those attributes, I would give a crappy rating. But the FOOD. IS. AMAZING. All of the meats we had were the perfect amount of smoky goodness. The array of BBQ sauces they provide at the table are all good. I had the pulled pork nachos, and those are now my favorite. Plenty of delicious pulled pork, with the just the right amount of toppings: red onion, jalapeno, cheese. And the avocado sauce on top is just perfect. The sides are just as good. My favorite is the blue cheese potato salad. You must also try the mac and cheese. You'll never eat it anywhere else again! They are expanding, so hopefully that will help with the other issues. Worth the drive to Old Town! read more

First off let's say this. I ordered take out through yelp. I was charged 14.00 for meat fries and 16.00 for Mac and cheese. Yelp says it is 11.00 and 12.00. When I went to pay for the pick up. I showed the online price for menu items and was told too bad I don't have to take the food. I can pay 14.00 extra or leave it here. I oreder my food an hour ago for pick up still waiting for service. I have pictures of receipy. I order 3 meat fries and 1 mac and cheese $$58.00. I didn't sign my receipt. I put not charged correct amount. This is complete sloppy business ethic. I'm going to consult an attorney Monday morning. Complete bull shit. Up charged me 14.00. That's 30 percent. These are criminals. Do not come here . Rude little kid acting as manager. Going down hill ..... read more

Let me start off by saying this place has great food and great service... Once your seated. I am fully aware it takes awhile to be seated but our situation needs to be addressed. We have a party of 6, they state it will be 20mins. There is one woman that gets a table for 6, 5 mins after we get there. We had been waiting for 30 mins and her party of 6 had still not shown up. During this process smaller tables were filled. I've worked in the food industry and typically if there is a large party you try to fit them in as soon as there name comes up but we waited a whole hour. I spoke to the hostess and asked her if "reservations" were being accepted now and she stated "no its first come first serve". I stated the woman in front us has been at that table for 6 for 40 mins now with no person in site. I was told it's first come first serve. So based on this theory, I can go and reserve a table of 6 or more all by myself regardless if half my party is there. I think based on this I will just try the other spot in town now, disappointed. read more

Okay, Loved this place! A friend told me about this place and said if I make it down to the Lansing area this place is worth trying. He was absolutely right and since then I have steered a half dozen people or better to go there. All of them said they were very pleased with the service and food. The food was better than average in my opinion. The turn around time from order to eating was fast and the atmosphere was cool and edgy in a way. They had what looked like plenty of beers on tap but I couldn't indulge as I was still on duty so I'll have to make a trip down one day and try it while not on duty. The waitresses were attentive and pleasant to speak too. I'd say if you're in a 20 mile radius of this place you owe it to yourself to try it out. I had the brisket Mac N Cheese and baked beans. All were good. The person with me had the LARGE Nachos which defeated him. read more

Hard to please ex-Texan, who loves to cook and eat BBQ. I had the ribs and they were amazing. I love visiting Slows in Detroit and they were the BBQ king in Michigan until now...Highly recommended... ps...the mac and cheese was incredible... read more

Food is great. Simple, but well executed. Not much seating and close quarters, so be prepared to wait. Love all the sauces. read more

Meat BBQ - Our food came very quickly and was consumed almost as quickly, so I only got a partial picture of my husband's nachos. - Barbeque Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

This place lives up to its reputation. We ordered a beef brisket and fries and it lived up to its standards. Brisket was juicy and tender and their fries are one of a kind. Will come back no questions asked. Hands down the best bbq restaurant. read more

My fiance bought a $30 groupon for this place. Well, aside from all the atmospheric issues, the food made me sick. Yeck. The taste was "good" I suppose, but it sort of grossed me out from the get-go. Way too rich, heavy, and meaty in a not-so-appealing way. For those of you who are Christian... this place has an incredibly deadened, satanic atmosphere. There are signs that say '666', 'hell', and all sorts of other unwholesome things all over the place. If you are spiritually sensitive you will be able to feel the wrongness of the place when you enter. Avoid. I should have known enough not to eat the food because of the protesting in my spirit, but I stupidly did it anyway. read more

I can't say a bad thing about this place. Service - bang on. Sat at bar due to big lineup Beer - cold and local Wings - fantastic smoke and done right Double Heifer - Outstanding on all accounts FYI...to those who don't know...it's not uncommon for bbq joints to run out of food later in the day as you can't produce it on demand. read more

My wife, middle son and I came to try the place out in khaki shorts/skirt, and (unintentionally) matched blue oxford shirts. Oh, and Dock Siders. It was like Skip, Buffy, and Chip showing up. Well, don't wear those things to eat barbecue. Lesson learned. Meat is studiously dive-y; the outside (Michigan weather allowing) is cast-iron seats/tables on a quiet-ish street in the newly Renaissance Old Town section of Lansing. Inside is purposefully dark, but clean. Lots of posters (mostly metal bands), and other memorabilia. Servers were awfully busy on our one visit, but very friendly. The food came to us in reasonable time, but the server did have to be reminded on our drinks. The staff are knowledegable of their (home-grown) sauces, and their mostly local menu items. And rightfully proud of them. The food is good. The meat is solid; smoked nicely. I had a mix of beef brisket (if you claim to do BBQ, you damn well better do brisket right, compadre!), and pulled pork. A little salty and all at once slightly flavor-light; but not bad. Their homegrown sauces are quite nice; there is actual FLAVOR there. One sad effect of Guy Fierri (among many) is the tendency to substitue heat for flavor. Meat gets the balance right. The sides are good; not special, but good. Downside was BBQ sauce on said khaki / oxford cloth. My fault, not theirs. In balance, if you're in the mood to indulge your carnivore side, a good dinner spot. read more

Visited this place while traveling. I do like the cool rock n roll slash heavy metal vibe they have going. The food is pretty good. It's not close to greatness. I think if this is the only BBQ you've had up north you think it's the bomb. Like I said. It's "good". It wouldn't stay open in Dallas. The flavors a really nice and there is a decent bark on the brisket. One of two things are going on here. They are either smoking this at too high temp or not smoking it long enough. It's just on the verge of being too stiff. I don't want to have to use a knife on brisket. I had to cut it with a knife. Same issue with the ribs. Nice flavor but they definitely were a little tough. Slower smoking for longer may be the missing key that would take this a couple stars up. Having said that, it's better than chain BBQ. Way generous portions and the sides were great. Not e staff as well. read more

This is the first time I had been to Lansing "Old Town", which is the Ann Arbor side of Lansing. Meat, is sort of in the middle of Old Town, which has a number of funky shops and coffee/deli places. OK, down to the review. Its a small place, so plan your approach. If you have a big group, you might end up eating down by the river in the park. There are 3-4 picnic tables, and then maybe another 20-24 seats inside, and another 5-6 tables outside. The menu is pretty simple, a couple of interesting sandwiches, a couple of platters, sides and drinks. two pages on a folded 11x8 sheet of paper. I went with the brisket sandwich, which was odd - I'm not usually a beef person (anymore), with Mac 'n Cheese as my sides. Other people in our group one had the smoked turkey and the other went pulled pork, Beans and Mac 'n Cheese as the sides. So the brisket sandwich, is served on a toasted soft bun, with coleslaw and a slice of cheddar. The Brisket was really good, flavorful, juicy and savory - one of the best I've had in a long time, enough to order it again, when I go back. I thought the brisket was better than the pork and turkey, but the turkey was pretty good, but 2nd place. The Mac 'n Cheese was good, but not great, there was nothing that made it stand out. There are five sauces on the table, one of them is Ketchup, the other are homemade, 3 reds and a North Carolina mustard. The NC mustard was ok, a little too vinegar. The three reds were a sweet, a cherry/hot, and house. I actually like the blend of the cherry/hot with the house - all three were good. read more

Meat is one of the staple restaurants in Old Town Lansing, and it's a quirky/slightly metal bbq. Not quite Kuma Corner's metal in Chicago, but it still has some edge to it meaning there's metal blaring from the speakers, the staff is properly tatted up, and there's off-the-wall memorabilia adorning the walls. Minus metal points for showing sports on the TV though. It's a fun menu with lots of good meat options. This is not a place for veggies (obviously) and be prepared to get hit with a brick of BBQ flavor and unlikely to do much productive for the remainder of the day after eating Meat. Here are some of the things I've had: Pork Belly Reuben - This is probably the best thing I've had from Meat. It was really really yummy. Wolcott w/ pulled pork: I would not recommend getting the pulled pork. Even though the pork was nice and tender, it was a little too dry. Nachos - really good but it's entree-size. I have a problem ordering nachos for an entree, I know my 11 year old self would hate me saying that, but it's true. I would recommend the nachos to share as an appetizer with a bunch of other people though. Brisket - Really good. I think the brisket is better than the pulled pork. Sauces - all of them are tasty. I literally use all 4 (or 5) when I'm there and just rotate. Meat tends to be crowded and there are few tables outside in the front when the weather permits it. It is not the best barbeque you will ever have. In fact, the meat at Meat is probably just slightly above average. But it's a fun place to eat, and it's one of the better quirky restaurants that makes Old Town, Old Town. read more

Let me start by saying, I am an absolute carnivore. I am the person that usually makes jokes about salads being something that MY food eats... My friends have been raving about MEAT so I jumped on the groupon deal. Their food is definitely good, but nothing to jump over the moon about for me. I will say it's probably the best bbq place in town. So don't let me non-perfect score let you hesitate. I will return to try the loaded fries. Get ready to get messy. read more

I went here with a small group of friends. We were immediately seated. Once reviewing the menu, I knew I would be back for more. There were so many delicious options I wanted to try. I went with the meat mountain and have zero regrets. It was a little on the spicy side :). I wasn't prepared for everything to be served in take out containers or on wax paper ~ that's the reason for 4 stars. read more

Good: beer, meat, service Bad: no vegetarian options. And they think it's some joke but if you want to go here with a group of friends for your birthday and there aren't options for everyone, you just won't go. Slows in Detroit (who Meat is copying) has great salads and vegetarian options so everyone feels welcome. Maybe it's like some mid-Michigan thing to be close-minded and backwards but it's not sexy. Also, even if I'm planning to eat meat I like to have something fresh or it all feels too salty and heavy. I would super recommend some nice salads. Also decor is cheesy and music sucks. read more

Went for lunch, sat outside. There are about 3 or 4 tables out there. Had a great sandwich with amazing fries for $9.50. Brisket was perfect, plenty of great sauces at your table for dipping fries/meat :) I don't mind dropping $10 on this sandwich, there were many side choices that were included. take note Fork in the Road, this is the correct way to run a hipster restaurant. Sure the sandwich was just on Texas Toast, not Artisan Brioche Baked by Monks TM. But it was well made, tasty and fairly priced. *Update - Sandwiches are now on Brioche buns, still good :) read more

This looked sketchy on the outside. I was truly amazed how good the food was. I ordered the brisket nachos. I was licking myb fingers and surprised how moist the brisket was. Then you can personalize it with different sauces. I could have drank them out of a cup they were all good. The prices are fair too. It was the best nachos I have ever had. read more

I have to apologize in advance, I'm going to make a lot of comparisons to Podnah's in Portland, because it is the standard by which I judge BBQ, and the experience I have been trying to recreate since we moved here almost 4 years ago. I never liked brisket. My daddy made ribs, my brother made ribs, when I thought BBQ, I thought ribs. Pork, beef, didn't matter, just give me a bone to gnaw and I am a happy camper. My several year stint in Texas never did anything to change this particular obsession. The first time I tried brisket at Podnah's it wiped all thought of ribs from my mind forever. I have spent the last several years trying BBQ here and there, even branching out to Detroit and Chicago suburbs trying to find excellent BBQ. I have a rule: if I don't smell smoke I'm not eating. It seriously limits my choices in Michigan where many places seem to wind up the smoker once or twice a week tops. Meat is the first brisket I've had in 4 years that made me smile. If you have had brisket at Podnah's or the Texas hill country, you will be pleased, though perhaps not thrilled. It's well seasoned. It's tender. The fat is tender enough. But it's not Podnah's tender, and the brisket definitely isn't Podnah's juicy. I partly blame the paper in the bottom of the to go container which does an excellent job of keeping the juices from spilling all over you, but also of wicking juices out of the meat. The paper was soaked so clearly the juices were there to begin with. Personally I'll happily take messy instead of drier brisket, but I may be alone in that... Podnah's didn't put paper in the bottom of their to go containers. I'll have to eat in at Meat one of these days and compare, I expect as long as there isn't paper on their serving dishes it won't be a problem. I know Podnah's had to get specially trimmed brisket that leaves more of the fat cap (the standard in Texas hill country) so that could play a role too. Juiciness aside, the brisket made me happy enough to give up my plans to buy a smoker. My 4 years of longing have been relieved. With my brisket plate I got the creamed corn which is good, it seems like maybe they use some kind of thickener which makes it a bit sticky rather than creamy. But it's tasty stuff. Only critique is I'm not a fan of super spicy sides which the ones we got were, including the corn. I also got the Mac and cheese, which was also spicy, but good. It isn't great, I have family all through the south, the Mac and cheese is authentically southern, but not authentically great southern. But it's solid. My husband got the chopped pork meatwich with the BBQ pit beans. They were good, although apparently some of the beans were undercooked (not the small bite I tried) and again, they are pretty spicy. The pulled pork was a bit dry, I'm not sure if they trim the pork before smoking, I notice many reviewers here in Michigan complain about overly fatty meat, so maybe it's just a preference thing. That's fair enough. When in Rome and all. I'm not sure what sauces we got. Two tasted like they might be the coffee one, it was my favorite. The mustard was indeed spicy, very thick, but excellent. There was another that again I think we got two of, that tasted strongly of chili powder (though wasn't very spicy). Also they have AWESOME lemonade. Incredible. Fantastic. OMG good. Overall, I'm thrilled, I'll be back, probably relatively often (given the two hour drive) and I cried tears of happiness over my brisket, it was just what heart, soul, and taste buds needed. Oh, and if you're a Texan, they have Shiner. Perfect! read more

Well worth the wait. Best chicken wings I've ever had. They arrive un-sauced which is fine because they don't need it. They are perfect. read more

I've been to Meat 10+ times, and everytime I leave I think to myself, "man their food is good". Meat fries are the best! This would be a 5 star restaurant for sure if were only based on food. Unfortunately, everytime I arrive I get crammed into their little doorway, often filled with lots of other people. Not a pleasant way to start. The dinning area isn't very large also. They recently went through renovation which included a nice bar, but notichore seating. Not always a pleasant experience trying to eat there. Don't go their in the evening!!! I went there on a Saturday at about 7pm, and the literary told me they were out of food. How do you run out of food at 7pm on a Saturday! read more

Going to school at MSU, we're always looking for new places to eat and restaurants that are away from campus. Meat is honestly my favorite restaurant in the area, and anytime people come to visit I always take them. I am very particular about how I like my pulled pork and they honestly make the best pulled pork I've ever had. The atmosphere is incredibly unique and the staff is always incredibly friendly. It's located in a great area too, Old Town Lansing is incredibly underrated and one of my favorite places. You're truly missing out if you don't check out Meat BBQ the next time you're in Lansing! read more

Father's Day 2016 was the second time I've been to Meat. Since most of their food is cooked low and slow, they have to predict how much they think they'll sell the next day. So sometimes you will show up at the end of the day and find out they have run out of things. The good thing about this is that you will always get delicious, fresh food. Unfortunately, the two times I have tried them out, they have been out of the ribs. This is partially my fault since I showed up at the end of the day both times. Wait staff is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. The meat does not come with sauce on them, but you have five choices of sauces on your table. I love this because I can get different tastes with every bite. They have a nice selection of craft beers, liquors and your favorite big national beers. For appetizers, we have had the Fried Pickles and the Disco Fries, which are fries covered in bacon gravy and cheese. Oh my God, they were good. I will try them again, hopefully going earlier in the day so I can taste the ribs. read more

Meat BBQ - The Brisket Sandwich with Fries. The sandwich has Cole Slaw and Fried Onions on it. Yum! - Barbeque Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

There was a point where I went to the other place in Lansing (SBACK BBQ) for my BBQ. HOWEVER, this place has brought their game back! The food is beyond exceptional like how it was several years ago before they expanded! I ordered literally everything from fries, brisket fat and lean, mac cheese, links, ribs, beans, and wings, etc... NOTHING was bad! It is all Killin' With respect to how busy they were, the servers and host did an excellent job! Sometimes they run out of meat! I totally respect that! Others who can not comprehend how a meat store runs out meat is very ignorant and have no respect for what they do here! I absolutely admire them when I call and they tell me they have ran out of everything! BRAVO GUYS! KEEP UP THE FOOD QUALITY AND SERVICE! read more

Maybe we got them on a bad day, but the bbq and sides (mac & cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw) were very underwhelming and needed more seasoning. The meat fries were massive and decent, but the meat lacked flavor and was a bit dry. The brisket sandwich was dry and needed more salt. The pulled pork was average. The highlights of this place were definitely the smoked wings and the sauces at the table. I will definitely come back to try them again. Hopefully it will be better than our first time here! read more

Service is good but in my opinion the food is over-rated. When I want wings I go to Smokey Bones for their smoked wings!

We have so few really good restaurants in town--so I was thrilled to have a wonderful meal at Meat. I ordered the chopped beef brisket with blue cheese potato salad and buffalo fries. Holy crap! Each bite was better than the next. The plate came with cornbread, which was just perfect with the brisket. The portions are large, and I've got enough left over for lunch today. I paired it with Founder's Red Rye--their craft beer selection is good, and they've also got a full bar. My dining companion had the macaroni and cheese with pulled pork and mushrooms. The menu warned there would be a wait, because each M&C is made to order... but the meal arrived very quickly. As with mine, his dish was wonderful and he had enough left over for TWO lunches! We opted to sit at the bar, and the bartender was very attentive and friendly. We were glad to have arrived early (around 5pm), because when we left at 6-ish it was really getting busy (and on a Sunday night!). Meat has a great, friendly atmosphere and is a real Lansing treasure! I can't wait to go back. read more

The food was very flavorful and tender. The food was hot and packaged well. Everyone was very nice. I will be telling everyone about this place back home! read more

This place was fantastic! My girlfriend and I wandered in on a whim at about 4pm on a Saturday. It's a good thing we left early because we got one of the last tables there. By the way, we completely missed the "please wait to be seated" sign and sat ourselves, but the waitress was totally cool about it since there wasn't a line or anything. First, a couple things were already sold out that early. We ended up splitting a full rack of ribs and got mac & cheese as sides and it was all just absolutely fantastic. The place is a little tight space-wise but the staff seemed pretty good at managing it. Even if the service had been terrible, which it wasn't, the food would make up for it. The standard has been set for BBQ for me; I will compare everything else to Meat. The house-made sauces were also great. Even the ones I didn't really like, you could tell that they would be delicious for someone more into those flavors. My favorite was the spicy garlic one. We couldn't even finish the ribs and they were still just as good warmed up in the oven the next day. Also, the cat dug the remnants out of the garbage and ate them until he threw up, so that's probably a pretty good sign. I highly recommend this place but get there early and be prepared for your choice possibly being sold out! read more

Heaven is a smokehouse and the recipes were passed down to the good people of Meat BBQ. They were out of pulled pork by the time we got there. This depressed us but after smashing a order of delicious smoked wings (some of the best in Michigan) and enjoying a brisket sandwich I could not be happier. The 5 different sauces on the table are great! It makes it so much fun to enjoy your food. I personally loved the coffee BBQ sauce as it was smokey and sweet.We live a hour a way and will be back! read more

See all
