    One of the best barbecue places that has much to offer. Fairly reasonable prices and a diverse menu that includes many classic barbecue favorites like: brisket, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, etc.

    Great American fare. Mac & Cheese is a must. Maple Bourbon Ice Cream is big enough for 2 or 4 to share. They don't take reservations so be prepared for a 30-45m wait in peak times. It's worth it.

    The mac and cheese, ribs, or wings are all amazing. The porker is a beast of a sandwich, so make sure you don't have plans later before you order it. The fried pickles are also quite tasty.

    Food is amazing. Have the ribs or pulled pork and mac n cheese. Oh they always accommodate a whim. Tonight they took the BLT special and made it an appetizer for our group!

    Best bbq I’ve found in Michigan. The brisket is to die for. Delicious Mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, green bean casserole. Smoked chicken is so juicy and delicious. Seriously can’t go wrong here.

    You have to stop buy if you are in the area. Good food with generous portions. The sandwiches are my choice for lunch. The side are all good and be sure to save room for dessert.

    Not an in a rush place, sit outside, calm down, start with the wings, split a salad. Order the porker, pulled pork, or brisket, roasted veg, Mac and cheese side, and pudding for dessert

    If you don't know what to get because you don't want to narrow it down to just one thing and maybe regret not ordering the other thing you wanted to try then order the woodshop 101 👍👍👍👍

    The pulled pork sandwich is amazing! I get mine with no chillies & sub the potatoe salad for the mac & cheese. Their margaritas are fabulous!!!

    Like tangy and spicy? Make some Killer Ketchup. Mix 1/3 of their Hell Michigan BBQ sauce with 2/3 of their Bama sauce. Perfect sauce compliment to their meat.

    Avoid the weekend hassles and order a pizza or slab to go. Very fast and little wait! Enjoy a glass of Bad Ass while you wait upstairs in the lounge or at the bars.

    Try the 101 -- white chicken, pulled pork, back ribs, mac&cheese and onion rings. Order a kid rock bad ass bear to wash it down....bonus points for the butterscotch pudding or deep fried twinkie.

    I think it was awesome that they had a gluten free menu!! Although I was highly disappointed with my meal. I got the baby back ribs and they barely had any meal and it was burnt to a crisp.

    The pulled pork and brisket are delightful, especially when paired with the mac&chesse and the onion rings. Try the pumpkin pie martini during the Fall!
