Always have a good experience at Chase Smokehouse! Food is delicious with large portions. Our server tonight was friendly and the service was very prompt. We sat in the bar and it wasn't too loud. They have a nice patio and host live music too! Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Our names were skipped over 2x. Wasted most of the night just sitting till I personally went and looked at the list. The waiters didn't seem like they cared about service at all. 15min to get me yes after being sat. Another 10 to get drink orders. Our appetizers came out and I had to request we get our sodas after 45min of sitting with nothing. Our food came out 45 min after that. COLD. All in all about 2hours and 45min for cold food. As we left another group of 4 got up and walked out. They actually got their bill before they receive their main meal. If I could give zero stars I would have. read more

This place is amazing. Out of middle of nowhere is some amazing bbq and one heck of an outdoor patio and bar!!!!! Bbq sauce is a little sugary and may be heavy at times on the ribs. I'd order it on the side if you can (I didn't ask if that's an option). Tater tots are amazing! Who'd of thought a place does fabulous tots!!!!??? read more

We needed to be at an early evening event in Reed City on a Friday night. We took a chance that the Smokehouse had reasonable availability. Upon arriving at 5:30pm, I asked the hostess/server if there was availability. I was told there were immediate openings. I also asked about the service speed, and I was told by the same person that there was a good flow to the service--we wouldnt have a long wait. We decided to stay, ordered drinks, and gave our food order--quesadillas. This was at ~5:40pm. As we waited for our food (how hard is it to make quesadillas?), the restaurant started to fill up. At 6:20pm we were finally able to grab our server--who was hustling, btw--and told her that we needed to have our food. She checked the kitchen for our meals with my spouse trailing behind, and our orders were not yet ready. We had to leave. There was no time to enjoy the food even if we had received it at that very moment. We know that Chase Creek is NOTORIOUSLY slow in food preparation, but we were hoping that the information regarding the service speed would accommodate our schedule. It was a foolish choice. Because of time constraints we were unable to get food before our event timelines. We enjoy Chase Creek food, but their food delivery speed is EXTREMELY SLOW! read more

Flavorful food with generous portions! I had the corned beef brisket Rueben, sweet potato fries and homemade coleslaw. Each item stood out and together they were a great blend of flavors. Service was friendly even though they were busy during my visit. On busy evenings it can get noisy in the main dining area so consider the outdoor seating for a quieter experience. read more

So good ! Love this place. Inside outside, dining, beautiful atmosphere inside quick good food. read more

Let's start by saying the food is delicious. The ribs, brisket, coleslaw, beans,fried pickles, all excellent. However, the service is the worst we've ever experienced, and this was a non-busy Wednesday evening. We waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive after ordering. And salads came out after the food arrived. Our server had no idea what beers or bourbon they had and had to keep running to the bar with questions. The liquor selection is lacking. It took a long time for cocktails to arrive and 30 minutes for the fried pickles appetizer to show up. Generally just a nightmare. The food is great but we won't be back. read more

The people were welcoming. Service was very good. I had the mac and cheese with pulled pork. I liked that the mac and cheese wasn't made with a white sauce which is always grainy to me. It was insteady creamy with cheese! My husband had barbequed chicken, which was good but would have preferred it not fried. My Grandson said his hamburger, which was huge was really good. They also filled his thermos mug with coffee to go. I will go again when up north. read more

Food amazing. You get what you ask for. Staff beyond friendly. Sports fans love the big screen tv's.

Wow. We walked in and were greeted by a very kind woman. The seats were homemade, spacious, and made out of wood. The tables were also made out of wood and very smooth. The menus were decorated to perfection, I liked the pig holding a knife and fork, it really let me know that this was going to be very good. They had the finest mellow yellow. The food was a bit pricey, but still sort of worth the price. The green walls were really nice and the wood beneath it were also splendid. The windows were placed perfectly. I saw some very beautiful trees while enjoying my delicious food. The carpet was very soft. The bathrooms were squeaky clean. Very spacious. I wish there were more stalls for such a big restaurant. Mirrors clean. Sinks clean. Bathroom clean. The food was cooked to perfection, some of the best fries and mashed potatoes I've personally ever had. I got the smokehouse burger if you were wondering. And last but certainly not least the massive ceiling fan to air out the place when the grills are just puffing absurd amounts of smoke. read more

This place sucks. Got seated, sat for 15 minutes with no waitress, no drink order and the hostess standing right there watching us not get served. So we left- When we got up and left she just said " have a nice night" i mean she watched the whole thing happen. read more

Flat out strange. I had the burrito with chili on it. I'm from Texas and nothing on this resembles chili. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Extremely greasy. Found the meal to be overpriced . read more

Met someone for dinner was not the greatest service. Sat at a tall table in the bar area and didn't have a server come to table for at least 6-7 minutes. Food was average and costly. Waitress was more interested in hanging out with the bachelor party than waiting in her tables. Very noisy in this place. read more

Such a wonderful local diner! The food is always comforting, fresh, and full of flavor--just what you hope for in a hometown spot. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place that keeps the community coming back again and again. Highly recommend supporting this local favorite! read more

Same good food but higher prices. Everything went up in price about 10-20% in 6 months. Online menu isn't current prices. Per menu no additional charge for soup but our receipt added a $2 up charge for soup. Disappointed with the higher prices. read more

We were visiting from GA and my husband's grandparents took us here for lunch. The place is really neat. The inside fan is HUGE! The food was really good. My son got a hamburger that was almost the size of his head! I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The food was tasty. We had a big party (9 people) and we served quickly and our food was out quick. read more

Food was great. The bucket is fantastic. The fries were under everything and it worried me a little but they were just perfect hot and crispy. Wife got the brisket quesadilla and that had some amazing flavors as well. Recommended. read more

Was in the area for my birtday at an AirBNB and we popped in for a late dinner. The dining room was empty but they sat us and didn't rush us at all. My girlfriend and I looked at each other and knew we were both ordering the brisket sampler platter thing with everything. We also got their wings. Stupidly I got Sweet Baby Ray's on them. They were incredible but the Chase Creek BBQ sauce was wayyyyyyyyyyy better. The brisket was awesome. The cornbread was so good. As a BBQ fan, I couldn't have been happier than a pig in slop...py BBQ sauce grilled to perfection on my plate. read more

Excellent food! Served hot! Awesome steak ribs shrimp. Decent fair prices for the food. Welcoming staff.

Typically, this is a three star place. Good because it's in the middle of nowhere. The bbq really isn't bbq in that the (pretty tasty) ribs are drowned in sauce and fall apart, but the burgers are good and overall the food is fine or better than fine most times. It's on-brand for the rural setting, but usually friendly and ok for kids. Typically service is good, but slow. But when did it become ok to keep serving alcohol to noticeably drunk, obnoxious, profane guests? Because it's Friday night at 8 o'clock, does that mean you don't care about the experience of your other customers and you can't bring a family in for dinner. Do you just ignore people smoking in food service areas? Really slow service and sun-par food on this visit --- burrito must have taken 40 minutes and came out luke warm. It's usually better, but this was a bad experience. read more

Solid food and attentive service, although the server was under-informed about cocktail suggestions. Beef brisket Mac and cheese, philly cheese steak sandwich, and beef quesadilla were all thoroughly enjoyed. read more

One of the better places to eat in this area. Family-style seating in some places. Bar seating and outdoor patio with limited seating for dining. Lots of bar space. Pulled pork sandwich was good. Too big and not soaked in sauce. French fries were oddly delicious because they were really crispy! Service was quick and attentive without smothering. We visited on a Saturday afternoon but I bet its packed during regular dinner hours and on weekends when they have music outside. Portions are BIG! Drinks are cold, and people are friendly! read more

Chase Creek Smoke House - BBQ Brisket Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Chase, Michigan

We stopped here after a ski trip with a large group of about 20 people. This is the 2nd year in a row of coming here. The ambiance is very nice log cabin style. We got in right before the rush on a Saturday and we got seated right away. The service was great with no complaints at all. I would say most of the people at our table enjoyed their appetizers of bbq wings, fried pickles and chips with the 3 dips. The ribs were huge with an entire slab for the main entree. I split a Ruben and a Philly cheesesteak with my wife. The cheesesteak wasn't as big as the picture and the was just ok. The Ruben was a Ruben nothing spectacular and the sweet potatoes fries were flavorless. I did think the coleslaw was good. read more

Pros: Chili was good, Reuben was good Cons: we were the only ones on the patio, and yet the service was inattentive - the server's co-worker got more attention than we did! Also, we were turned off by the sewer gas smell that wafted our way throughout our meal. We were told it's been mentioned by customers before over the past year...but it's still there! Ugh. read more

Father's Day late lunch early dinner. It was busy but we got one of the last open tables. Service was fantastic. Our server was Kaylah. She was super efficient no drinks or water went low with her asking. She was knowledgeable on the menu items offering suggestions too. No dirty plates ever. I would definitely ask for her or Michelle who is also great. Food is always top notch. Husband had a filet. He is a Med Well meat eater but the meat is still tender and super flavorful. I went with the special, ribs chicken and brisket. The cole slaw was perfect. However, I could make a meal out of the corn bread and deep fried corn on the cob! My only grip was the electronic menu was glitchy and no wifi- great service, great food trumps the tech issues. read more

Superb quality food. Loved the sugar smoked ribs and the smoked corned beef. These people care about excellence: moist warm corn muffin with AA butter, crisp coleslaw, real whipped cream on pies. Great service. This foodie is grateful. read more

This is a fantastic spot to grab dinner. I stopped in with my father the other night and we both really enjoyed the friendly service and delicious BBQ. The spot was pretty busy in both the dinning room and bar area. I sat in the dinning room however next time I hope to snag a spot in the bar. There is also an outdoor patio area and some green space. This place seems to be the place to see and be seen. After trying the food I can see why it is so popular. Also they have a pretty great tap list of local beers. At the top of the menu are three options of BBQ combinations which I highly recommend. The chicken wings, ribs, and fries were killer. Oh, and do not skip the fried corn! I had no idea this was a thing but now my eyes have been opened to the beauty that is fried corn. Somehow it is sweeter and more tender then your run of the mill corn. Be sure to stop into this out of the way spot in Chase MI, I'm so glad I did! read more

We stopped here by chance on our way up north. My wife had their brisket and I had their wings. Both were amazing! We plan to come back.

I heard about Chase Creek a few separate times from friends. Everybody spoke pretty highly about their barbeque and some friends and I wear starting a weekly dinner club, so we decided to try it out. It is a bit of the beaten path, but really only about 10 minutes of the freeway. It's a large wood cabin type building. It actually seemed a little too large for the small town it's located in but points to the obvious ... the place is usually busy. They didn't take reservations but we didn't have any problem getting in right away with a group of 5. We were unaware, but they were having a fundraiser for one of the employees parents who had medical issues, so any pork slider orders went directly to the family and if you bought a beer, one dollar of that went to the family. It appeared obvious that this place cared about its employees. To add to the family atmosphere, the dining room is one large open area with a massive ceiling fan. The individual blades must be about 12 foot each. Solid rustic wood seating and tables. Very cool bathrooms. There is a bar area on the opposite side of the dining room, but a partial wall separates the areas. I ordered the barbeque sampler platter. It was good, but I felt the chicken was rather bland. It lacked seasoning but was perfectly cooked and juicy. The lack of seasoning is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. The staff was very friendly and even obliged our drunk buddy by turning on the massive fan for a few rotations. Overall a very clean place, beautiful building and dining area, and good food. It really seems like a great family place. A little out of the way, but worth a stop. read more

Clean and friendly environment with top notch service. our server didn't even have to write our order down and got it perfect. That's talent! read more

As always very good food. The ribs had a lot of meat on them and the pork quesadilla is awesome

Stop there today for the first time for lunch. Add the sliders. Very, very good. Pretzels and Beer cheese dip. A little Ronnie, but it was flavorable. I will be stopping there again with my wife. read more

Cool place....Food and staff are pretty good. It gets "pretty loud in here and that sort of takes away from the enjoyment of "gathering with friends for food and conversation". Steak, etc is "hit and miss"...But mostly you'll get a tender cut. Lots of menu choices, which is good if you aren't into "bar food" or barbecue. Good! Be prepared for a long wait on fri thru Saturdays. Come early...before 5 PM read more
