    Ty’s Joint - Rib tips, gumbo greens and dressing.

    Greens are on the spicy side but still tasty! Mac was delish! Try em' out. Carryout or dine in…read moreoption. Parking free in the back of building

    I really did enjoy the food so I went back 2 days later and treated my parents. We were originally…read moreplanning to dine in but decided to do carryout instead because they were really busy. I wanted to try the pork chops but they were out, so I got the rib tips with gumbo greens and dressing for the sides. My dad got the same, and my mom got the fried catfish with yams and turnip greens for her sides. I thought the rib tips were good and I would order them again. The dressing was just "okay" and unfortunately I bit into a large chunk of fat from the turkey meat in the dressing so that didn't help. The real star was the gumbo greens. My dad was also not a fan of the dressing, but he said he would have gotten the gumbo greens for both his sides if he had known how good they were. My mom enjoyed her food as well as the strawberry crunch cake I suggested she get. I am not sure if I missed it my first visit, but when my order was being rung up I noticed a cash and non-cash price flash on the screen. I did not see any signage on the door about the extra fee for paying by card, and the cashier did not mention it. That is such a big pet peeve for me. Had I known in advance, I would have come prepared to pay with cash. I am sure I will return again, but restaurants really need to be transparent about these excess fees.

    TNT - Lil Brothers BBQ - Typical Friday night for me. I ask for just the tips and they give me a hell of a lot more meat than I bargained for.

    Best food in Michigan. Joint best BBQ I've ever had in USA. The most sensational hidden gem I've…read morefound in a long, long time. I got TNTed by some scary dudes last time I was here. Now I need to go and get TNTed windows before someone tries to shoot me while entering or leaving this place, which would somewhat TNT my experience. And would be TNTamount to murder. If you thought TNT was all about Major Crimes and Rizzoli & Isles, then do I have a surprise for you. Welcome to one of the best BBQ places in the USA. What to get: Pulled Pork, Rib Tips, Cabbage, All The Sides, Banana Pudding How to tickle Barbie: A Touch Of her Sole If you thought TnT was Trinidad & Tobago, or explosives, or Tushies N Tails (a weird group of butt fetishists), you were wrong. Well you were right, but none of those TnTs matter now. Not now that ATOS exists in Kalamazoo. Because, ladies n gents, it's the best soul food in the Great White North, the best food in the state of Michigan, and one of the 5 best BBQ places in the entire USA (including TX, KC, TN, NC and so on). No, for the billionth time, I'm not exaggerating. One portion could literally feed a family. And will cost next to nothing. All the more reason for you to come check it out. So this BBQ in Kalamazoo (the town and the food genre rhyme - see, it was meant to be - hmm, I wonder if Katmandu has good BBQ) was one of the best things I've ever eaten. And the best value-for-money meal I've ever had, with notable memorable service as well. Firstly, they recommended the rib tips with green beans - both among the most delicious things I've ever eaten. At only $5 for a mini, which was enough food to feed a family, I just can't. Wow. I went marching right back in for a pulled pork sandwich, and with that they gave me some spectacular cabbage - even better than the green beans - and a side of spaghetti which was wonderful, if a little sweet (like my ex). Even if you're a vegetarian, the sides are worth driving hours for. The sandwich had coleslaw (sort of like sod's law), and enough pulled pork to feed an army (not that I would want to feed an army, I'm a pacifist). It was perfection. They slipped me some yumsy sweet cornbread and the most spectacular banana pudding I've ever eaten. Food-wise that is. In general, your boyfriend's Banana Pudding is incomparable. I don't know how they do it, but these people cook better than pretty much anyone. Maybe because Marvin Berry works here (Chuck's cousin), and he hired someone that really cooks. The tragedy is that most will never know what perfect BBQ is, because they skip places like this, since it's in Kalamazoo, in a beauty mart. You skip this, you skip life itself. And no I've NEVER exaggerated in my LIFE. They seemed to figure out without me saying a word (I never do) that I write reviews, because they kept whispering about what I need to eat, in order to give them 5 Stars. I'm pretty sure they didn't know me from Yelp - perhaps they saw me taking pictures of a hot dog in the parking lot (from Ray Ray's, also amazing, and the other K-zoo place you must try). Anyway, that might be why they gave me half their store for cheap prices, but even then, the given to other patrons, masses. Let's just say that they give you more meat than me on a weekend night, and more sides than a dodecahedron, or even a triacontagon, and if you decide to make out with me, I promise I don't haveacontagion. Now I'm gonna let the teens close out this review: If you don't know what the fuss is ABT Then you need to come here AFAIC And you need to do it ASAP (But first send me your ASLP) Gotta go pee, I'll BBIAB OK that was quick, I'm BAC I need some BBQ, so DAE? Cause this place is amazing, and we've GTG If you all say no, that's the EOT And I'll go by myself then, IAC But you love BBQ, right, IIRC I remember you gave me a KOTC You should've my face with my BEG But then you never did MMB I'm over it now, so it's NBD If your boyfriend wants to come, tell him MYOB Wait, you dumped him? Really? OIC He did what to your sister? OMG Anyway, I think we're getting a little OT So yes, BBQ is sort of P2P But the owner lady is such a QT And for what you get it's practically FREE Damn, no acronym! You can blame ME Anyway, if you wanna come, TG And we can get anything you WTB I'm sure she'll remember me and say WB And if mine's better than yours, WTT? I can't wait to taste yours and see WUG And if I don't show up, YHBT In terms of miles, it's about 53 But you're closer than me, so YMMV After you try this, YTMND Then we can hit my place, and N&C At which point it's time to GNOC In fact, right now, I'm NIFOC I know you think I'm just THOT But I can hook you up with CID Or really anything, what's your DOC? If you want some, then WTTP? Crap I gotta go, now I'm TWD At least for now we're both KPC I hope we don't end up on Dateline NBC Now let's go get that BBQ from TNT WHAT!
