First of all, BBQ is one of my absolute favorites. So I was excited to try out this place. Sadly it was absolutely disappointing. First of all pricing. $19 for a 2 meat combo that didnt include ribs. Those would have been $7.50 additional for a 1/4 rack. That's just a bit over the top. I ended up getting the pulled pork and sausage along with 2 sides.Well saldy the pulled pork was just totally dry and not very flavorful. So what do one do? Obviously try putting on some BBQ sauce. Another disappointment. Their vinegar and their mustard sauces were both aweful. The sweet and savory one was OK. The sausage was not bad. I wouldnt go so far as to say it was good. So one meat was was OK and the other was definitely not.The sides were decent. Not great, just decent.Im inclined to say I'd not ever go back, but I didnt actually try thier ribs or brisket. So i probably should at least try those before completely writing them off completely.There's definitely better BBQ places out there, so I'd say go search out other options.

I attended one of Matt's Brisket Classes recently It was awesome! Being new to smoking, I felt very comfortable asking questions, learning new techniques and tricks from others in the class, as well as gained a better understanding of the process as a whole. Thanks Matt, I"ll be back for more classes in the future!

I reached out to Saddleback BBQ and Slice Pizza for catering for a large company event and they knocked it out of the park every step of the way! Brynn made sure we kept in touch throughout the planning process and modified our event order when needed. The day of the event, she arrived early with a crew of awesome helpers who showed awesome customer service the entire time! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh BBQ and all the sides - the mac and cheese was a huge hit! The Slice team brought out their mobile pizza oven and made fresh pies and breadsticks through the very end so everyone was able to get a hot meal. Dozens of people let me know how amazing the food was and we can’t recommend them enough!!

During my recent visit to Saddleback BBQ in Okemos, I had a mixed but overall positive experience. Firstly, customer service deserves high praise. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly, especially considering the size of our order – we practically tried everything on the menu!The standout for me was the pulled pork, which was flavorful and cooked to perfection. As for the brisket and ribs, while they were expertly prepared and had great taste, I found them to be a bit too fatty for my liking. However, this is a matter of personal preference and others might appreciate the juiciness this brings to the meats.Regarding the sauce, it was certainly delicious, capturing the essence of traditional BBQ flavors. My only critique would be the texture, as I generally prefer a thicker sauce for my BBQ. Again, this is a subjective preference and doesn't detract from the quality of the sauce itself.In summary, while the BBQ style at Saddleback BBQ wasn't entirely to my taste, the exceptional customer service and the overall quality of the food made my visit worthwhile. The pulled pork is a must-try, and for those who don't mind a bit of extra fat on their brisket and ribs, you're in for a treat. I would definitely recommend this place to BBQ enthusiasts, particularly for their excellent service and the evident care they put into preparing their dishes.

No issues with service. Brisket was great, really enjoyed the corncake. Unfortunately, the pulled pork was soooo tough and dry, and I did not like the mac and cheese - was very neutral with very little flavor. Ordered a little close to closing, maybe that influenced things, but was very disappointed. I'll try again some other time to see if the pork is better earlier in the day, but probably won't give the mac and cheese another shot.

Food tasted great both times I've eaten here. Came out looking great and warm. Unfortunately both times I've eaten here it made me sick. I'm not so sure about the quality of the meat. Both times I ordered the pulled pork and brisket.

First time trying this restaurant. I order 2 meats with 2 sides. Got brisket and smoked chicken. Both meats were cold and flavorless and chicken was dried out not fresh. Got a really tiny cup of barbecue sauce for 2 meats. Got no utensils to eat with or napkins. Sides were medicore paid around $23. What a waste of money will not be back.

The staff was polite and tentative. Food was okay, I wasn't sold on the wings but the Brisket and pork was good. The place is cute and it's a fun little stop to eat with the family. Price was okay but a little on the higher side.

My brisket was dry, my dinner guests brisket seemed to be better than mine. Everything else was good. Portions were small.
