★★★★★ 5.0 colleen Davis · Sep 2025

This is a small place that packs the food. Spent $40 for two. Smoked half chicken, ribs and brisket. Creamy coleslaw and waffle fries. Had our own drinks. Places to sit outside. Very good meal. Lot's of left overs ♥️ Food was tender and tasty 😋

Absolutely in love with this place. Stopped once on our trip up to the U.P from Grand Haven area and was so impressed with the nachos and soup plus the customer service that we had to make a special trip again on our fall color tour. Got the BBQ mac and love it! 😍😍😍 wish they were closer to us and we'd be regular customers. Highly recommend.

Reviewing as a CATERER for our wedding, not as a restaurant: We found this place very expensive for what you get, we did a buffet style and had all of our guests shown up people would have left hungry. Their website pricing is misleading and outdated, you pay extra for everything despite what it says. We even paid for their staff and our wedding was at castle farms, no china provided even though they originally told me that venue included it. What annoyed me most was we paid extra for their upgraded salad and it was clearly thrown away, I tried to ask about this after and they just stopped answering me, 0 accountability. The food tasted decent (very good chicken, pork loin was not great). In our opinion I would choose one of the many other caterers, you can get way more food for a better p

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tanya Franks · Oct 2025

I was extremely disappointed… my first time in this part of Michigan, and I got so excited when I saw ‘Alabama White Sauce’ on the menu, that I mentioned my Alabama roots to the red-headed teenager at the window… who then DID NOT give me the side of the sauce I ordered... even when I asked a second time when picking up my order. The pit beans tasted like burnt ketchup mixed with vinegar. The meat was over salted and tough. I dislike giving bad reviews, but with poor service and food… the management needs to reconsider their employee selection and work on their cooking skills.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alyssa Burke · Aug 2025

I want to love this place, I really do. The food is pretty good and that’s what keeps us coming back but the last two times we’ve ordered something it was missing something. The first time the Cobb salad came without the bacon and the second time our kids meal came without applesauce. We get it to go and live 25 minutes away which is kind of a bummer to find out when you get home and there’s really nothing that can be fixed. So I would just recommend checking your food thoroughly before leaving when picking up to make sure everything is there.
