Saw this place online and decided to check it out. Man glad I did this guy knows his BBQ, wife and I ordered ribs tips and brisket with fries and cornbread. Food was amazing best BBQ I've had in michana, the owner and his wife and staff were super welcoming. They had three long picnic tables with rolls of paper towels within reach. Definitely will return, I ordered an additional half pound of the brisket for home. prices were decent as well

Haven't tried the food yet but man they weigh all your meat by the half lbs! That is ridiculous because it's just the meat that you get, their's no sides at all those are all extra. Come-on Fat Cap we gotta do better than that, if I go get a Tip plate from Frankie's I'm getting a whole meal for the $14 your charging me just for the meat. I just spent $67 for 3 people absolutely crazy! Font think I'll be going back there.ok, so we just ate and let me tell ya the food is horrible turkey tips Dry, Tips are super sweet which is not good at all and the pulled pork is drier than the driest thing you can think of, definitely not worth the $67 we paid for will never ever go back! YUCK?????

The best thing I've ever eaten. Great BBQ perfectly prepared. Recommended to everyone!The ambience is appropriate, nothing special, more shabby chic.The service was good, friendly and accommodating. However, we had slight problems with communication.

Ordered turkey tips, mac and cheese with greens. The turkey tips were spicy and chewy. Mac and cheese seemed like it was boxed with little cheese. The greens were horrible as they were canned greens! Definitely wasn’t worth the money I spent. Cornbread was the only good part of the meal. Everything else was trash.

Hands down the best brisket I've tried in the michianna area, and this is coming from someone who has taken a road trip down south for no other reason than eating amazing BBQ. Their BBQ sauces are nothing short of spectacular as well, and I can never pick a favorite side as many are great options.Friendliness and warm service are exuded every single visit, from both the staff and the owner.After the owner started recognizing my family, he would often go out of his way to show that he appreciated our return visits. Over many visits, he has gifted us free sides, free desserts for my child, and a free order of burnt ends for my birthday.You won't find better people or BBQ around.

My husband found this great place during his work lunch hour. He and his crew have all been there and my husband promised to take me there to try it out for supper.Yesterday was my lucky day!!I got the brisket and broccoli salad and because I was a first time customer, the owner gave me some pork belly to try. Holy hellO....I can't tell you which one I liked best. The meats were excellent and so was the broccoli salad. There's also some great dipping sauces to try.The owner Solomon was super friendly and recognized my husband as soon as we walked in. Solomon seems like a super nice guy that appreciates his customers and let's them know it.I know my husband and his crew will frequent this place for lunch at least once a week...and I'll definitely be having the hubby take me here for supper again and again.

Talk about a hidden gem! This place is diamond level amazing. The service is top notch. Owner Solomon is a one man show when I went in. Cooking, taking orders, serving, cashier, and more. Pulled pork sandwich is the featured menu item I can't recommend enough. Although brisket and burnt ends weren't up there as well. Paired with fresh moist cornbread and wash it down with a sweet tea. If there was only a couch to take a nap on, this could be heaven. Everytime I'm back in the area I'm going back!

I always recommend this place, I had not had a bad experience till today. I received my order while at work. And man were the rib tips tuff and extremely chewy. Returned them in person to show them how I received them and the female Hispanic owner with acne on her face started going off on me … I was in shock and amazed at her attitude and all the swearing, cursing and foul language she used was very rude to me. I received this dry burnt meat and she was telling me it was my fault for leaving it in my car . I was like, what ?! I received this food like this and wanted to show you in person and she was way more upset than I was about it. The worse part is I never even had the food in my car so now she’s throwing blame and shame my way. When I asked her name , I couldn’t even understand what she said so I asked for the owner and she made me aware , she was the owner.. I was in so much more distress because I can’t even complain on her to nobody so I made her aware of the online reviews… she started cursing and swearing even more. At this point she had already handed me the rib tip replacement with less ribs and no ? bread . I’m definitely not going back and not recommending this location to anyone because her attitude was way out of line and way too much to deal with. She needs to work in a factory not in the food or customer service field. Good luck ? mam . I will miss the times I had good meat and service. It only takes one bad customer experience. I can deal with faulty food if you fix it. But that attitude is not worth my time let alone my money .
