I have to preface this review by saying one thing: when Cutie wants barbecue, Cutie gets barbecue!…read moreSo that's exactly what we naturally did. I was down because I'll eat anywhere at any time with you, darling! We landed the Starship out front of Saddleback BBQ and I'll be honest, people, I was excited! We entered at an off hour as there were no other customers. After ordering, we sat down and eagerly awaited our food. Oh boy, did that food come fast!! Placed in front of me was my order of a pulled pork sandwich with the slaw on the side. My two sides were the obvious: macaroni and cheese, while my second was the deviled eggs as your boy has been straight HANKERING for some deviled eggs! Right off the rip, I had to try those eggs! Ooooh la laaaaaaa!! They may be deviled, but those eggs are straight from heaven! I'll take a dozen please, and that may even be too few! I'm not even being egg-stra when I say that either. After being delighted by my first side, I decided to dig right into that miggity miggity mac next! Let me tell you fine folks something! You think you know creamy, but this mac is supremely creamy! Love the noodle style and length too. A good hit of cheese soaked into the veins of each noodle. I'd say this macaroni will satisfy me any day of the week! The main event was my pulled pork sandwich, and boy, did they stack the kid up with the pork! I drenched it in their sweet and savory sauce and went to town. Love the seasoning and smoke on the meat. Tender and juicy, this is a good-tasting pig. Very soft bun too; I'll gladly eat a hefty sandwich of this. Good thing as the portion size is generous! This is the type of food I could eat daily and always be satisfied. Cutie agrees too! She ordered a pulled pork plate with Mac and cheese along with corn cakes! She was so kind to ask me to eat some which I was more than happy to! Those corn cakes are delectable! I've recently become a corn enthusiast, and these little cakes I must say are divine! Basically, what I'm saying is this: Saddleback does it nice, folks! Cannot wait to go back when we happen to be in the area! What a meal! Five sweet and savory stars out of five! See ya on the flippity!

It is small with only three high tables with stools to dine in. The place is hot (summertime) and there are industrial fans going so you can't really listen to the tv playing FX movies. No music just the sound of spatulas cooking delicious meals. They have pork and brisket is their main forte, with breakfast options including eggs. I have only picked up the brisket meat bowls with cheese potatoes for my family, and they keep asking for it. I absolutely love this place even though they don't have any options for me to eat (I don't eat pork/beef) the service is amazing and people are so friendly with extensive knowledge of menu and talkative. Just good old Midwest friendliness. I love supporting local businesses that merit a shout out for their food. If you are ever in Lansing, this is one place you MUST visit.

I got the chicken wings and fried okra. I placed my order and waited 15 minutes to receive it. The chicken was fresh, hot and fried to perfection. The "crack season" which is lemon pepper seasoning is what primarily gives its flavor. The chicken itself had no flavor, so I wouldn't advised getting it without the crack seasoning. They put just the right amount on there, not too much or too little . Some places can go overboard due to the popularity of the season but that wasn't the case here. The okra was really good. They have a small section to purchase some ethics food items and a display full of desserts to choose from. You can even buy the crack seasoning as well. It's not dine in so you get your order to go but they do have a few chairs for waiting.
