    a picnic area with a table and benches

    The best bbq I've had in Michigan, friendly staff as well. Had the brisket and Mac n cheese, both were excellent. Will definitely return to try more of the menu.

    Hot dogs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken legs, ribs and cheesy potato and broccoli.  Yummmm.

    Finally, we got to experience some Whistlepig BBQ. It was mighty tasty. It's only open on Fridays and Saturdays, so I pretty much ordered all the meat items, not knowing when I was going to be available again to try it. The brisket was so tender a little fatty but very good. I ate the whole pound of meat!! Ribs were very tender but I didn't like the bourban glaze, I'm not a fan of bourban. The chicken legs had a wonderful smokey flavor. Pulled pork was also very good also, I can't wait to have it on a sandwich. And the cheesy potato broccoli was so cheesy and yummy. All in all, if I have a hankering for some bbq and don't want to travel too far, Whistlepig is the place I would go. Also, the son and mother working were very friendly and funny.

    Smoked Beef & black bean chimichanga, smoked chicken & andouille jambalaya w/rice, summer bean salad and peaches & cream crisp.

    Great BBQ! Appreciate having a place like this in a small town. Wish they were open year round but understand that would be difficult.

    Sides and dessert changes week to week, always good. All meats are great, pulled pork is the best in my opinion. Fair prices.

    In spite of posted opening times the place was deserted. Really wanted to give it a try.

    Very Disappointed - Will Not Return…read more I recently visited the Big Boy in Charlotte, MI and had a very unpleasant experience. The restaurant was extremely messy, and the salad bar was dirty and did not look safe to eat from. There appeared to be a lot of cross-contamination between the food items, which is a serious health concern. I also ordered the broccoli soup, but it was spoiled and completely inedible. When I mentioned this to the cashier, she didn't apologize or even offer to take it off the bill, which I found very unprofessional. On top of that, I ordered four adult meals but wanted an item from the kids' menu (Bosco sticks). A different waitress came back to tell me I couldn't order a kids' meal because I didn't have a child with me. Then she said the manager would "allow" me to have the $6.99 kids' meal for $8.99 just because I didn't have kids with me. That made absolutely no sense and felt like I was being taken advantage of. Overall, the restaurant was not clean, the food quality was poor, and the customer service was lacking. If the dining area looks this bad, I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. I will not be returning.

    This was terrible, our waiter had time to chat with other booths but not time to refill my water…read more Our forks were not washed properly and it took 35 minutes to get a sandwich and too burgers, Absolutely terrible never coming back.

Had a pepperoni pizza and an Italian sub. Both were excellent. Sub came with potato chips that were definitely the bottom of the bag. Mostly crumbs. Other than that everything was very good Will definitely be back when I'm the area Pricing was great. 14" pizza a regular sub and two Cokes for $25 Wait staff were very friendly.

First of the salad was HUGE and the dressing was delicious! Second we ordered "dry" breadsticks and they were perfect! Infact the salad came with a couple breadsticks as well and they even made those dry!! Third, the pizza sauce we got with the breadsticks was piping hot! Win all the way around. When we picked up our order we asked for some Parmesan cheese packets and they gladly filled two plastic containers for us and also made sure we had to go silverware. I took a quick peek at the restaurant and it has a very cozy welcoming atmosphere! Definitely going to add this little pizza joint to our list of places to stop when passing through Charlotte. Sorry no pictures we were hungry and on the road!
