After paying we took a seat and waited a few minutes for the food to arrive. When it came out we were given a choice of sauces and we elected to try a couple. Now for the reason we went. The brisket was tender, moist , and well smoked. They use a dry rub on both the brisket and the pork and it works well for both meats we tried. The ribs were also tender and tasty and done just the way I like them-bite off the bone. Ribs are overcooked in my opinion when they "fall off the bone" because they aren't ribs at that point! Being from Texas, we complemented them before we left and even gave another customer a quick opinion of how good the barbecue was. You may note that I'm not reviewing any sides because if the meat is as good as this was you don't need any sides. Their sauce is good, not too sweet and they have a sweeter option as well as a hot (habanero) sauce that is also good. If you need a good barbecue fix and you are in Ann Arbor you can't go wrong with Satchel's.

This is a super cute spot that specializes in smoked meat and sausages... yes please. We ordered at the counter and the employees were very friendly and helpful with great suggestions. I got the Michigan asparagus, onion, and cheddar brat, and Nate got the currywurst. We also got a cup of chili to share. We got a buzzer for our order and then sat down in the heated outdoor space. They have a lot of outdoor seating and some firepits, so I really want to come back in the fall or summer. Our food was done quickly and we had fun picking stuff from the toppings bar. They had chopped onions, jalapenos, banana peppers, sauerkraut etc. and lots of sauces. I LOVED the brat. It was easy to bite and not super snappy which I didn't mind. The bun was perfectly toasted and the flavor combination was delicious. Kind of like a broccoli cheddar vibe. I had some of the currywurst which was also delicious! The chili was packed with brisket and pulled pork, and was really tasty. There is a bar so you can enjoy a beer with your sausage, but we just grabbed some cold drinks from the cooler. They even have ice cream and floats!! There are lots of great items for sale as well, including lots of pickled things, frozen pierogi, meat sticks and jerky, and they even have Trenary Toast (#iykyk). I am already planning my next visit to try more brats and the brisket sandwich. This is such a great concept and I really wish we had a place like this in Grand Rapids.

We told our waiter it was our first time there and he explained everything but it was really fast. We were able to eventually figure things out, but we made a mess. The pricing was a little confusing, but it's an all you can eat place and we expected it would be on the higher end and would have to pay extra to take leftovers home. We definitely plan to return!

There a buffet style station in the back that has all the sauces, desserts, fruit, and fried food. There's a cooler with individual ice cream (strawberry, mint, vanilla, chocolate) and wooden spoon palettes. My only complaint is that the grill took so long so our meat took forever to cook. Service was pretty good. If we needed anything, we would ask and it would be provided. We needed a couple grill changes.

Skip the chain wing spots and get yourself some Side Biscuit! People often say the 'hole in the…read morewall' is the best, and in this case, it's 100% true. Side Biscuit is literally just a small notch in the corner end of a building, but they're churning out big flavor and tasty wings! They always have a new flavor of the week and a special biscuit to match. The Driveway Plate gets you 6 wings, a biscuit, celery, carrots, and blue cheese dressing (don't you DARE ask for ranch or you'll end up on the wall of shame). The wings are perfectly cooked staying tender and moist inside with generous amount of sauce. There are several delicious flavors to choose from. The dudes working are chill, friendly, and bring real Buffalo, NY roots to A2. They're happy to answer questions and point you in a direction. Be prepared for a wait at prime times and you'll need to either eat outside (picnic tables and a few other tables & chairs) or get it to go, because there is no inside seating (or room to wait for your order either). But it's all worth it.

About 10 minutes past the hour I checked and apparently trivia had been cancelled. Not going to lie - I was a bit disappointed but was not that bothered, the glass of wine I had was nice and the vibes were cool so I was happy to just sit there and read my book. When it came time to pay, I asked the bartender for my check (she had been working like crazy all night) and she said the glass of wine was on the house since I had come for trivia and it was cancelled. SO SWEET. I was with my dad and we both talked about how nice, albeit unnecessary, it was. The food smelled fantastic when I was in there and after the lovely interaction I had, this will be top on my list next time I want to grab dinner out. Big thanks to whoever the bartender was this evening - she deserves a raise!

This is odd because the food is good, the prices are decent, and service came with a smile. Enter under the Mash awning and turn left. This is in the former back/overflow room for Blue Tractor. Head to the counter to order, grab your silverware and drink, and take your number to a table to wait. The food comes out quickly. We ordered chips and guacamole to start. At first it's in your face with a combination of lime and salt, but after the second chip it's delicious. I do wish the guacamole and tomatoes were chopped into smaller pieces, but the flavor is stellar. The brisket on my taco was very fatty. Don't get me wrong, I know fat is flavor and the bark on their brisket is possibly heaven sent, but I can only take the texture of fat to a certain extent and I'm grossed out. I left some of the fat on my tray. It pairs well with the roasted tomato salsa. The pulled pork taco is excellent. The ingredients work well together, with the combination of crunchy and chewy textures and the pickled pepper relish with tangy lime slaw creating a wonderful flavor profile. When we return I'll only order one taco if we get chips and guacamole. Enjoy!

3, bordering on 4 stars as I know that they're brand new and hopefully will improve some things…read moreover time. I've gone 3 times now for happy hour. I'll start with what I would consider to be the areas to improve: 1. They have an email signup form promoted on the website that advertises a free taco when you sign up. Great! I tried to do it and when I asked about it there they were like, yeah we might send out discounts or coupons in the future. Just a wildly misleading promo. 2. The pricing for happy hour margs is odd. On the website it advertised 36 oz margs for $5, and when I went in I was asked what size I wanted. I said "whatever is on the happy hour menu" and I was told that both sizes were. What does that mean? Both of them are $5? 3. 2 out of the 3 times I went the margs were served on the rocks instead of frozen because the machine hadn't frozen them yet 4. It seems like there are some major kitchen issues with getting food out on time - I overheard a table waiting a really long time for their tacos Now for the positives: 1. Margs are great, and even though the pricing is very odd and unclear what is certain is that they're a good deal 2. Nice people working 3. Good hot sauces (hell yeah tapatio and Valentina!!!) 4. I like the system of ordering at a register and getting to choose your own table, makes it a more casual/fluid dining experience imo. 5. Guac is great and they are not stingy with the chips, that's for sure. Overall there are definitely some major kinks to work out, but I think it definitely has 4-5 star potential.
