18 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kentwood

“City Barbecue goes all out to make your experience. I caused a glitch with my order by phoning and asking for an earlier time. The manager was so kind, prioritized my order that was lost, and I received it so fast my party never even knew there had been any issues. Delicious food. Great variety. Wonderful people. I highly recommend this location and restaurant.“

“yes it's a good place to dine at just need a little more attention on the cleaning especially late evening! stopped in today about 8:45p floors not swept potatoes all smashed on floor napkins thrown underneath.“

“Today was my 2nd time here. Just as delicious as the 1st even though I misspoke and meant to order chicken, i ordered the pork which is just as delicious brisket is the best!“

“Stopped in today and was not disappointed . Jim was waiting tables and helping anyone who needed anything. It was great chatting with him today . Guys like this and the food is why we will keep coming back Thanks Jim !!!!“

“Southern BBQ — this is the real deal. It’s simply the best around.“

“Incredible Rib Tips & Authentic Soul Food!I had a truly amazing experience here! The staff is absolutely friendly, providing the kind of warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home. As a soul food lover, I have to say the rib tips were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both top-tier food and such an authentic, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back for more!“

“Da BOMB!“

“Big 50 BBQ is awesome!!! They were at the Leonard St. Autozone parking lot. I got some rib tips, chicken wings and some mac and cheese. AMAZING!! their dry rub on the ribs tips and chix wings was super good. The wings will be my snack time on my way home from work. Thank you BIG 50 BBQ!!!“

“If you don’t give this place a 4 or 5 star review…well you just don’t know what good breakfast food is. I’ve eaten at literally hundreds of different breakfast places over decades from chains to 5 star resorts and all in between. This place for what it is and the home made character and taste is just top notch. That’s just the facts. For top creative home made quality and service in the West Michigan area Anna’s house is the gold standard. Or at least the core restaurants are. Oskar Scots is a rival to Anna’s house IMO. Oscar Scot’s is what Anna’s house was 15 years ago…a hole in the wall place that served up home made creative food and excellent service.

The food gets a full five stars at least for what we had. We only sampled a couple different menu breakfast items. 5 stars means perfection. The bread is home made and it shows. The jam (don’t call it jelly) is also home made and it is excellent. The sausage gravy is excellent. Food is quality and home made, and home made well.

Service is excellent. Again rivals Anna’s house at the core places. The servers are friendly and helpful and attentive, like you are dining at a friend’s house. They are so happy and pleasant but not over bearing. So service gets a full five stars.

Atmosphere gets 4 stars. Hey it’s a strip mall restaurant. You come for the food not high end digs. Just simple booths and chairs…again think Anna’s house at the original time and place. The murals on the walls are great, reflecting local character and the owners personality. Open and friendly atmosphere. More money spent on booths and chairs and the service ware could be done but I doubt that would draw in more customers. And once you eat the food you really don’t care about the simple atmosphere.

So overall one of the local gems that isn’t well known. But it is well worth the drive to Dutton. We will be back.

Insider information: you can buy loaves of the home made bread if they have some available. Just ask your server.“

“Love this place! They offer Vegan options. Also their fries 🍟 are cooked in oil not shared with meat or fish. Wish more eateries were like this!“

“My little and I checked out Partage for the first time today for their Harry Potter themed menu and I'm so glad we did! It's a cute little place with DELICIOUS food! The Hufflepuff sandwich I ordered today was the most delicious sandwich I've ever had!“

“If you leave this place anything other than stuffed and happy there is seriously something wrong with you. The staff is amazing and the food is fantastic.“

“I ordered over $90 worth of jerky and sausage. it's absolutely amazing and worth every penny!!“

“Absolutely amazing food, entertainment, drinks and service!! I'm obsessed with the brisket chili, wings and cornbread casserole!! I haven't had anything that I dislike. The service paired with the food is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!“

“Jess, the bartender was awesome. It was the early afternoon, and she was assisting other restaurant customers, but was very attentive in getting me taken care of. The service here is fantastic. I didn't order food, but the service alone was great. Thanks Jess!“

“The space inside and parking is limited. But that chicken is fried to perfection every single time! I went back twice! Not to mention, I found out that the location on Eastern is the only black owned location so I will support that one for sure!“

“We had a party of 9, including 2 children and we had the absolute best experience this weekend! Diamonte was our waiter and he 100% nailed every aspect of our visit. He had great interactions with the kids and remembered their names (they loved that). The food was perfect; we had steaks, salmon, shrimp, burgers and don't forget the ROLLS! This was Sunday dinner and they were pretty full but there was absolutely no delays. Thank you Diamonte and crew - we will be back for sure!“
