The brisket was excellent! I requested a lean cut and received it. Corn bread and cucumber salad are included, plus a choice of two sides. I ordered the waffle fries and Brussels sprouts. They offer four styles of BBQ sauce. I highly recommend the Kansas City flavor. Large portion. Great value for the price. The home brewed IPA 1310 was delicious, as well. The device was attentive. Authentic smoked BBQ served in a clean, cozy environment. read more

Worst BBQ I've ever had! Ordered a half rack of ribs. They came out wrapped in foil. Made me wonder if they were left over from last night or the night before. They were just o.k., a little dry. The beans were nasty, couldn't eat them. The cornbread muffin looked like it was made in someone's garage, didn't even try it. The only potatoes they had was waffle fries or tots. The tots came out just slightly warm. Most BBQ joints have smashed or mashed potatoes or potato salad. No coleslaw. Have plenty of food left. Didn't even bother taking it home. The one glass of beer I had was good. Did give the server, Zachary, a 20% tip. He was a nice young man and a hard worker. It wasn't his fault the food was nowhere near worth the $29.68 I spent. read more

A great place for some smoked meats! Tuesday's are "Weekly Family Meal Deal's" starting at 4:00PM, which comes with.. pulled pork, toasted brioche buns, cucumber onion slaw, cornbread, and your choice of side (mac & cheese or coleslaw, plus fries or housemade chips). Feeds from four, up to six individuals.. and lots of sauces to choose from, on the table! All around very very good food! the atmosphere is rather on the darker side, more like a tavern. but they warm you right up with the fireplaces, placed around the building! Service is good! read more

zero smiles from staff, moldy bread on sandwich, sandwich was cold when it was supposed to be oven hot

We came here for a rehearsal dinner for my cousin's wedding, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. Our group was large--about 30 people--and with so many different orders (and a few demanding personalities in the mix), the staff handled everything with calm professionalism and genuine friendliness. The food was absolutely delicious--served hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. Every dish that came out looked and tasted amazing. The drinks were also spot-on, perfectly mixed and flowing throughout the evening. Coordinating a group this size isn't easy, but the team here made it look effortless. They really helped set the tone for a joyful celebration. Highly recommend for any special event or just a great night out! read more

Great place for lunch! Brisket was as good as anywhere you'll have and the service was fantastic.

It's the best restaurant in Greenville for lunch and dinner, live music on Saturdays, 6-9, good beers, including craft, great lunch specials M-F for $10, ends at 4:00, weekday specials, check website for menu and hours, nice, professional staff, nice outdoor patio. The consistency of their good food is improving. The bar is a little too wide to eat at comfortably, but manageable, ambience is nice. read more

Great Bbq pulled pork sandwiches. We have eaten here a few times and in never disappoints. Service is always quick and friendly.

Absolutely love their burnt ends and Mac and cheese. Great service, the wait staff are amazing and take your orders quickly but you don't feel rushed. read more

Great food. Good service. Need to clean up by entry door, other than that they were clean.

Had to come back to see if our first amazing visit was just a one-time thing, or if it was the real deal. Spoiler: it absolutely was! I was craving the boneless wings (still as good as I remembered), and this time we also tried the burnt ends as an appetizer..so delicious, especially with their 'secret' sauce. My husband got a burger and loved it. The service? Still just as great. This place is definitely becoming one of our go-to spots read more

Great food and service. The rustic charm of the restaurant was nice too. The appetizers were delicious.

Stopped here for dinner at the recommendation of our AirBNB host and very glad we did! They're a brewpub and brew their own beers, so of course we had to start there. We tried a few varieties including the shandy, saison and the blueberry wheat. All were excellent! The food menu is extensive with everything from BBQ (more on that later) to sandwiches to pizzas and a great appetizer menu as well if you simply want to pony up to the bar and have a snack with your brew. We had the pizza and the brisket and the brisket was amazing. It was so perfectly cooked and seasoned I ate most without a sauce! Speaking of sauces, they have about six to choose from and while all were delicious in their own way, my favorite was the Carolina Gold. Finally, the service was awesome as well - very friendly, helpful with the big menu, and attentive. read more

Usually good. But 2 weeks ago we went for lunch. Husband ordered a smoked old fashioned. The smoke was gone when it was served. Waiter claimed it did have smoke when he got it from the bar. I had ordered coffee with Frangelico. It was good, fresh coffee. During the meal I asked to have the coffee topped off. He brought me a fresh cup of coffee. My pizza toppings were cold. Asked the waiter to heat it up. He came back 5 minutes later. Said the chef wanted to make a new pizza for me. Just wanted it heated up, didn't have time to wait for a fresh one. My husband ordered the white chicken chili. Was good, but not warm enough for soup or chili. When we received the check, charged for coffee with Frangelico $7.25 & $2.19 for coffee. Not sure if the charge for coffee was for the drink or the fresh cup of coffee he brought me. Either way, not what other restaurants do. Didn't take the time to complain, but did send a message on the restaurant's website with no response, a week later another message on their website. No response. Not even a sorry that happened or the waiter was new. No response. We've been to this restaurant many times. Not sure we will be going back any time soon. The building exterior and interior are nice. read more

We ended up here on a random week night and boy were we impressed! They were busy but not too busy. They seated us right away and the food was delicious! Very generous portions read more

Great service , good food and music on a Saturday night . No wait at 5:15 on a Saturday , TV's tuned to NFL action and a great menu for barbecue and wood fired pizza . It's a brew pup not brewing beer or much right now but it has a good selection of Michigan brews on tap . It has a full liquor license and does some spirits on site with well crafted cocktails . The barbecue is exceptional, the best way to tell is to sample the brisket . Tender and moist which is hard w any brisket let alone a restaurant. Kudos to the smokehouse king !! Pulled pork is great as are other non barbecue options like burgers and even fish and chips . The appetizer of fried pickles and banana peppers is really good , others need to take note of the fries peppers. read more

Amazing owner. Always going above and beyond for staff and guests. Food is on point, have yet to have something bad

I ordered a brisket nacho. It came out as a pork nacho. Very good but not brisket. Manager literally comes out and says it is brisket. Crazy to lie to me over a $2 charge. Very disappointing!!! read more

So many stops on the way home from Traverse City. But this is how we like to travel. We make the travel part of the adventure! We have a damn good time doing it too! We came here for the beer and the tagabrew. We didn't eat but let me tell you, the food looked incredible! Other customers were absolutely raving about the food! The atmosphere was really great and the beers were flavorful. The bartender was friendly. We would definitely recommend coming here and trying the beer and ribs! read more

Hop Hog Backyard Brewpub - two people sitting at a bar - Breweries Near Me - Greenville, Michigan

Went in with high hopes. Soda machine was broken. Didn't have all the items on the menu. One out of four dishes was thought to be great (by a 13 year old). Mac and cheese tasted as if was was just boiled noodles. Took minimum of 20 minutes for the drinks from the bar to come. Baby back ribs were dry and tough so was the corn bread. Service was mediocre at best. For the amount of tables the feeling of the staff being overwhelmed is concerning. You can tell they were trying their best. You can see it is a place with poor management. Positive: chips were amazing. The look of the place is super cute and has major potential! read more

The food is amazing, quality bbq in a "small town." The staff is helpful and management kind. Try the pizzas too! Even the Brussel sprout tacos are phenomenal! read more

Got a pizza sub, and there were green and black olives on it? Last time I checked I didn't think that was an option. The waiter was kind and very helpful about the whole situation though. read more

Visiting from Arizona I had just finished a workout and was looking for good food. Saw the ratings here and decided I would give it a chance. I think they were short staffed and I got sat with Jessica. She was working the bar as well as the tables on one side of the restaurant. She was very accommodating, friendly and present as could be with her workload. I got the Gouda Mac n cheese with added chicken. It was phenomenal! Ambience is really nice here as well. I highly suggest checking this place out if you're in the area! read more

Great food great place. Staff needs work. They sat us next to the only group of people there which made it hard to communicate, the server didn't bring us all the food we ordered. The food tasted great and portions are average for this type of place. Server wasn't very friendly The couple that came in after us got a spot away from us while we were seated next to a group of people that was so close we could reach their table if we extended our arms, this place was completely empty except for the group of people and the couple that came in after us, would recommend coming to this place Note to place : if there is nobody else in the place don't seat people on top of eachother atleast a table apart please unless your busy and it is not possible but atleast try. And to the servers. Please be nice and take everyone's order and bring all the food that is ordered. read more

We use to go here when it was the 57 Brew Pub, and haven't been since they changed names. We ordered cheese curds and the 2021 customer choice award pizza, which was the Bay of Pigs pizza. The portions were large, and quality was there for the pizza. Unfortunately the cheese curds were mostly breading and were somewhat stale. The pizza was phenomenal. We will be returning, but will not order the curds from here anymore. read more

Granted, I'm really hungry but this is the second time I've been here and I love the food and beer. My first time a few weeks ago, I had bbq and man it was great. An excellent Porter to top it off was a winner. Tonight I decided I needed "healthier". I asked the bartender if people like the fish tacos or the fish & chips better. She suggested the tacos and I loved them. I think tacos have to be corn tortillas and I was not disappointed. To add to "healthy" I went with a side of Brussels and another of Sweet Potato Fries. Both extra Service was phenomenal by the young lady bartender stopping every so often to ensure that "Is everything tasting good?" Everything was tasting great, thank you! I probably won't be back this way for some time or a lifetime, but I hope others find this review helpful and encouraging to stop and eat and drink here. PS. The Founders Solid Gold Ale was a perfect compliment to tonight's meal. read more

I ordered the brussel sprout tacos. Very good!! I would definitely recommend them. The waitress did a terrific job too.

We are here for brunch. We both ordered from weekend lunch menu. Plenty of food to fill up a normal person. The waitress was on point with drink refills and brining the food out timely. We had a chef salad and burnt ends for appetizers. It was delicious. Then our food came and it was so good. I got Gouda macaroni with brisket. My husband had ribs with waffle fries and it came with corn bread, small cucumber snack. It was all delicious and good for the price. read more

All in all it's one of the better places that I've eaten in Greenville, but that doesn't make it great. The barbecue is decent but not amazing. The cocktail I had was super sweet - jalapeño Margarita - so not the best and seemed to be more sugar than booze and kinda more like weird lemonade. Would I go back when in town - I might try the crappy Mexican place instead as at least the margaritas were better..... I should add that I'm a barbecue snob so normal people may love it read more

We're in Greenville pretty often to visit family. So glad there's now a great restaurant to come to! We were there on a busy Saturday night but the service was excellent. I don't think we've had a server that attentive and gracious since pre-Covid days. I liked being able to try the different barbecue sauces. Didn't know I liked Carolina style BBQ. It was delicious. I also appreciated that there were some salad and veggie options on the menu. Sometimes BBQ places can be a lot of meat and not much else. Another sign of a well-run place: the bathrooms were very clean. Prices were fair for quality food. The guy playing guitar was just right. We could still have a conversation over dinner while he was playing. We'll be back! read more

Great smokehouse brew pub style food. Highly recommended. Staff if friendly. Very casual relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend a certain dish, but it's one place I have truly liked everything I tried. In fact, I always have a difficult time picking what to order it's so good. Highly recommended. read more
