I am at Sparrow Market almost daily and am so happy to have a lovely, friendly local shopping center with high quality produce, delicious cheese selections, all kinds of interesting meats (butcher specials, too), and a variety of Italian delicacies, both ready to eat and ready to cook--plus a choice of sandwiches to grab and go...what more could a food lover-shopper want?

They had all kinds of food and snacks/ my husband really loved looking at the selection of meats. Unfortunately we have a far drive so we didnt want to buy any meat at the risk of it not being cold enough. You can tell that the meat is very high quality.

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.

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.

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.

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.

However the manager was happy to help and had the bartender make me a drink that wasn't even on the menu and it was great!

Everyone else was seated by the windows. I had to insist on being seated elsewhere. The restaurant is relatively new and still retains its sparkle. The salad bar is at the back, with chill/hot sections. I paid attention to other reviews and zeroed in on the pineapple carpaccio. In addition, I had the hearts of palm, baby asparagus stalks, potato salad, and lobster bisque. Other people had recommended the latter and they were right. I had very little else from the bar to focus on the grilled meats. The parade of meat started very quickly after I was seated. The filet mignon was fantastic. It was well-seasoned and prepared at the right temperature. The picanha (spicy and garlic) was okay. However, I thought the lamb was too gamey (I usually like lamb) and the pork was too dry. I got full quickly so I was glad I did not select the chicken or sausage offerings. Brazilian bread, bananas, mashed potatoes, and fries accompanied the meal. I only requested the bread, which was hot and chewy, and the bananas were swoon-worthy good. Yes, you need to save room for the sugar-and-cinnamon-spiced, pan-fried bananas. My server was polite and responsive. I wish I could forget the inauspicious start to the meal.

Knight's Market popped on my radar thanks to Yelp Talk as I was looking for more specialized cuts…read moreof meat. I was DELIGHTED to discover via their website that they sold beef slices (thinly sliced top round) for rouladen. Rouladen is a german dish that's part of my partner's Christmastime tradition. So, thanks to Knight's -- we were able to celebrate/maintain some kind of tradition! I ordered 12pcs and it came in two packages of 6 pcs each (~3lbs) at $12.99/lb. We were able to cut each piece in half so next time, I'll just order 6 pcs or 1 package! I called a couple days in advance for a Christmas Eve pick up and it was pretty seamless! Knight's Market is pretty easy to miss as it's a nondescript gray building, but worth a visit for an order ahead specialized meat order. If you need something immediately, the butcher inside Sparrow Market may be better as Knight's Market is relatively small and only has more common types of meats/cuts stocked regularly.

Tracklements has an incredible assortment of cold smoked & hot smoked salmon. I opted for: *NORTHCOUNTRY GRAVLAX-CURED - We make a traditional Scandinavian style cure with allspice, coriander, juniper berries, and lots of chopped fresh dill. Less traditionally, ours is cold-smoked over our hardwood blend for a firmer texture, with full salmon flavor and longer shelf-life. *PASTRAMI-CURED - A blend of many spices, paprika, coriander and pepper come to the fore-a perfect combination with the salmon. Both were SO good. But what surprised me the most was the SMOKED CASTELVETRANO OLIVES. Even my friend, who dislikes olives greatly, said it tasted more like bacon to her. Ha. 1lb of cold smoked and then olives ran me $50. Pricey but good value and really delicious food!
