Fast n friendly.
Food was excellent! Each meat had its own unique flavors texture
The sauce was delicious could have used more… and a pickle in my opinion.
Prices were very reasonable!
Definitely worth the drive!

We were on our way to Lakeport State Park today and stumbled upon this little gem. They have Delicious pulled pork sandwiches, fries and Mac and cheese. The pork was so moist and flavorful it really didn’t need the bbq sauce that was served on the side, which I appreciated. The bun was toasted which held up to the meat and added additional flavor. There was also a variety of areas to sit and enjoy your meal. Definitely recommend!

My review is going to try and be specific. I’m an amateur BBQ pit master myself, so I’m biased. That’s my only disclosure on that matter.
The wings are outstanding, smoked lightly, fried medium, seasoned well. They’re about as perfect as it gets until you start being nitpicky about personal preferences.
The pulled pork is served naked and unsauced. Exactly how I like it and prefer it. Good light smoke, some ring visible, I would prefer to have it served with some of the drippings in the container. Overall it’s top tier. Sauce to your preference.
The ribs, they’re good, they’re not “the best ribs I’ve ever had” but they’re definitely a higher quality spare rib. They’re a little soft for my preference, but I’m not going to knock points for that. I may have preferred they were wrapped a little earlier, but that’s also a personal preference. There is big mistake on them though, and that’s no salt and pepper on them. They’re naked, and some people are into that, and I’ll take into account preferences when possible, but no salt at least to me is a cardinal sin. With that said, still good smoke flavor and ring. I will order them again even if they’re salt free.
The brisket. This one is a big let down for me. If I had to guess, it’s pre sliced at some point before the order. It lost some of its juice and it’s not in the container. We also have a lack of salt and pepper again. With all that said, again, the smoke is mild and flavorful, it’s tender, the fat is soft and rendered, and it generally tastes good. I also suspect they’re not separating their briskets so we’re getting some bad slices with mixed grains. That’s a cutting table problem though and not a food problem.
The baked potato. It’s perfect. Just perfectly stuffed, the brisket problems showed up more strongly here, the pork was great though. All the other toppings are slam dunks. I’m consulting with my doctor to see if I’m allowed to eat nothing but these potatoes for the foreseeable future.
The baked beans are another incredible slam dunk. Sweet but not crazy sweet, savory, good meat ratio, mixed bean types, and lots of good sauce with a perfect ratio. A 10/10 beans.
The mac and cheese is another star here. It’s shell pasta, like you would expect. The cheese is perfectly thick and runny. Intense cheesy flavor. Everything you want from a perfect mac and cheese is here.
The corn bread is on another level, moist, slightly cakey, sweet and buttery with no need to add butter yourself. Prevalent honey throughout. Solidly 9.5/10.
My biggest complaints though are a lack of sauce options, no vinegar sauce for pulled pork is unfortunate. We got one BBQ sauce option, it’s sweet and bitey, it’s not bad, but it’s sweet. Sweet doesn’t work everywhere.
Everything needs more salt and pepper and if they would fix that I’d say they’re in the realm of top smoke houses in Michigan for flavor.
With these complaints though, this is a must visit place. The property is crazy cool. The food as a whole is very above average. Bring your friends, bring your kids, bring your momma.

A great dining experience. They have turned a massive land into a dining space with different styles. It’s great for big groups or if you have kids. I ordered ribs and it was dry rub and cooked perfectly. It is a drive thru and most people just take out but I’d recommend taking your food and eating in the area.

This place is great. Stopped here while on a day trip and did not expect what we got. The food was extremely well prepared. Tried a number of different dishes and was surprised by them all. The grounds were great. There are so many little spots to sit and eat. We walked around after eating just to check out the entire place. If your any where near this place, you have to stop in and check it out.

Absolutely love this little roadside BBQ Smokehouse! The food is bomb , and the atmosphere is a truly unique experience.
The drive through is huge, likely due to the popularity of the food, and the property has LOTS of unique areas to sit and eat, for the kids to play or just unwind.
Mac n cheese which was rich, creamy and cheesy and a great choice for kids.
The pulled pork sandwich was amazing, pulled pork was tender and flavourful, but ask for an extra BBQ sauce, it’s a big sandwich and they only give you one BBQ sauce on the side and no sauce on the pulled pork.
The brisket Rueben Sandwich was awesome, brisket was flavourful and fall-apart tender.
Would definitely come back, and if you’re in the area it’s a must try.

My husband and I have been going here for years and we love their brisket and pulled pork. We love it so much we even had them cater our wedding a few years ago. However this year we can tell some changes have been made that we don’t like. We ordered poutine at our last visit approximately 1 month ago and loaded fries today – these fries are no where near as good and both times the fries are very undercooked. Our brisket was also given to us today as pictured. Its delicious but with no knife provided how are we supposed to eat this? Had to rip apart with our hands in the truck which was really messy and not ideal. This time we also ordered loaded nachos, and while all the toppings were great, the chips were so stale. We hope to have a better experience next time…

This is such a unique experience. It is a drive through restaurant. The drivethrough wraps around a beautifully landscaped property that has so many cute seating options. Vintage decor sheds, swinging chairs by a firepit, teepee, private little houses, an old airstream and chairs around the lawn. It has a playground for kids, corn hole and many photo opportunities. The line may be long but the food is worth it. You order from the girls up front. It went really fast and they run the food to your car fairly quickly and you can chose to go home or circle back around and enjoy the property. There is even a wedding area. It would be an awesome place for an outside wedding! The loaded potato was amazing. Beef brisket melts in your mouth. Mom loved the turkey leg and friend loved the whole slab of ribs that came with cornbread and beans.

What an amazingly creative, unique concept for outdoor eating. Each separate themed eating area comes together as one beautiful ground filled with options for your dining experience~ literally something unique to see at every turn!
And the kids LOVED the play area, sandbox, swings, mini golf, and fish pond. We were there for almost two hours exploring different stations, stuffed with incredibly delicious brisket and sides. This spot is not to be missed if you’re in the area!

Hidden gem!
My mom drove by this place for months before stopping by. Finally they stopped by and have been there at least once a week since August.
After hearing the hype, we went last weekend. Even in the snow, this place is magical. They had heaters in the igloos so we were warm and cozy!
Fried Mac and cheese balls – 5/5
Employee kindness and accommodation – 5/5
Shredded pork and Mac sandwich – 5/5
Seasoned fries – 4/5
They have an ice cream shop, access to the water, several unique photo ops. Many different seating styles.
They even have an old greenhouse converted to wedding reception venue.
Highly recommend making a trip!
