Sparks BBQ is a go-to spot in Traverse City for anyone craving smoked meats and classic barbecue flavors. Originally a popular food truck, it has grown into a casual, lively restaurant where the focus is on hearty, wood-smoked dishes. The menu features favorites like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and smoked chicken, all infused with rich, smoky flavor.
Great BBQ Food and service!
We've been here a few times. the prices are reasonable, service is always exceptional. usually we get seated and served right away. I've tried several items, great nachos, brisket and my personal favorite is the Famous BBQ Sundae with Brisket!
Also, we love the atmosphere and it's conveniently located. Traverse City is beautiful and Sparks adds a nice touch to the area.
Definitely recommend a visit...

Not sure if they used to be building front and are now just a food truck but either way we loved it ! Delicious food , a little pricey tho but probably cheaper than what’s around !
