Five different blends of savory and sweet just waiting to bathe your barbecued meat in mouthwatering goodness. I was particularly fond of the apricot peach sauce. The ribs here are legit, too. Lots of meat between the bones, and it falls off those bones so beautifully. Green beans could use more flavor, but the cornbread waffles are genius--get them.

A friend recommended this place, so I brought my family here for a late lunch. We arrived around 2…read morep.m. on a Saturday and found the restaurant nearly empty, which made me a bit suspicious. We ordered the nachos with an extra $7 of brisket, a side of mac and cheese, a brisket sandwich, a pulled pork sandwich, and a kids' pulled pork meal. Almost everything arrived at the table in under five minutes--except the mac and cheese. All of the food was lukewarm, aside from the mac and cheese skillet. The speed and temperature made it feel like they had simply assembled leftovers that had been sitting out. The sandwiches tasted fine but nothing special. The kids' pulled pork meal consisted of two broken pieces of bread with only a few tiny bits of meat and a huge container of essentially room-temperature tater tots. The nachos themselves tasted great, but they were also lukewarm and overpriced for the portion--especially since the "brisket" we paid extra for seemed more like taco meat. Our waitress was excellent, but the portion sizes and prices just didn't feel worth it. The food would have been much better if it had been served hot instead of warm or nearly room temperature. I wouldn't recommend this place for a family with young kids. Overall, very disappointing.

We had the lunch special for an app (two pork sliders and fries). Was appropriate for an app, not enough for lunch. We also tried the wings which were ok. For lunch, we shared the three meat combo - two ribs and one brisket. Also shared a burger and a corned beef sandwich. The corned beef was not on the menu and tasted the best - maybe it was because it was just made? For sides: we tried the brisket chili (little spicy), slaw (little vinegary), fries and potato salad (best of the bunch, had nice seasoning and some onions mixed in). Service was great, bbq was just ok.

The Armory has fantastic beverages and always has live music or a dj. Tonight there was a DJ, and since we were just grabbing dinner, opted to sit around the corner so it wasn't quite so loud. The place was moderately busy when we got there with only a handful of tables empty. Food service is simple with a qr code placed at each table for you to order on your phone and they deliver it to the table. The food came quickly and was yummy! I adored the homemade ranch and the breading on the halloumi cheese curds. Yumm-o . I ordered the Halloumi burger sans onion with the chips. It was delicious. The curry chutney is sweet but tangy. He chose the BBQ Burger without the onion or the coleslaw and tried a side of the truffle fries. Everything came out with very healthy portions and I walked away stuffed. The truffle fries were good, not too thick, but very potato-y, a bit like small potato wedges. Be warned, everything was messy! Deliciously messy. I'm definitely excited to go back and try the breaded mushrooms.

My first time in the staff made a point to come introduce themselves, I can't say I've experienced that in a very long time. They do have space inside and out to eat.

We tried the pulled pork, brisket, Mac n cheese and cornbread. I've traveled enough across the country to rank this as my BBQ I've ever had. I wish you all the best, you deserve it!!

When we pulled into the parking lot some of us were hesitant based on the outside, however, I thought the outside was awesome! The murals are quirky and fun - my kid's loved the Yeti! The inside doesn't look big, but it fits a good amount of people - and they have a large bar, as well. It was fairly empty when we arrived at 1230, but by the time we left after 2pm it was busy! Lions were playing, too :) We had 10 of us and they quickly put tables together for us and were very accommodating. Jennifer was our server and she was AWESOME and handled our large group easily and with a sunny disposition. The menu is large, but not intimidating.. but makes for hard choices! They have some unique items on their menu that sounded SO good - like the peanut butter burger and walleye Ruben! Lots of apps, salads, daily soup, burgers, sandwiches, mains, and pizzas! Their kid's menu is large, as well with great side options instead of just fries. Our group started with the pizza rolls and the garlic bread balls - huge hits! Especially with the kids! Two people got the walleye Ruben and said it was great! One got the pot-roast meal and loved it. I had the smoked wings and thought they were awesome - especially the sauces - you can tell they are homemade! kids had pizza, mac n cheese, buttered noodles, chicken tenders, pulled pork, and probably some other items i am forgetting but the kids loved their food! We definitely had leftovers because portions are generous! We tried a porter they had on tap and 3 of us really enjoyed it - they have a nice rotating tap selection! All in all we enjoyed our meal and would recommend Oh Brother's for sure! We'll be back our next time in the area.

I've been coming to Two Scotts on and off for…read morethe better part of the past 11 years and this place's quality and consistency has held better than the S&P 500. The flavor is out of this world. Smoky, deep, savory, and the accompanying chorus of sauces keeps the meal bright and varied. I got the burnt ends and the pulled chicken and it was so. Damn. Good. If you even remotely like barbecue, this needs to be at the top of your list. My only mild complaint is that back in the day they had a platter where you could sample 3 meats for like $17 or $20, which was the holy grail of barbecue experience. Nowadays you need to buy 1/2 pound minimum of each meat which can make it tough to sample their all-star lineup of succulent meats. If this were to make a return, I'd be at Two Scott's weekly. Still, pretty good value for the insane quality of food and service that you're getting here. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Banging bbq in Grand Rapids! A super find thanks to the reviews on Yelp…read more After a week on the shoreline of Lake Michigan, I was hankering for something good. I needed to stop with my family before we headed to the airport. I spotted this one on the map when searching for highly rated restaurants, and thanks to their handy-dandy online ordering system. I knew that we could plot a course get there eat our food and be on our way. No time to make our flights later this afternoon. I don't think any of us knew how delicious this meal was gonna be, but we were all glad that this was the stuff we chose to make. The smoked chicken wings were immaculate and the brisket was perfection. We also of course had rib tips and a whole slew of sides, including the smoked mushrooms and coleslaw and Housemade, tater tots, mac & cheese, baked beans and probably a few others I'm forgetting. We couldn't pick a favorite literally everything. Was that good And the sauces? Yeah, those are banging and beyond creative too. That green sauce was straight fire, and that Alabama weight style also nice for cooling things off. But if all of them were fantastic, and it was fun to make a match and find your favorite combo as we demolished the entirety of the order. Which is funny because when we placed it, we were kind of thinking this sounds like a lot of food and we didn't want any leftovers, but there were no leftovers to account for not because we ordered and forced ourselves because it was that good and we needed every bite available. Make the trip!
