    Food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was cool -- maybe a former gas station or auto service center? I like that they were open at 11am on a weekday. I had the brisket. Took a little bit longer than expected to get our food, but not terribly long.

    Rib Tip & Dark Meat Chicken Combo *** w/ Sauce on Side
    Oliver Bjorn K.

    I love Lark's. I've been going to Lark's since 2000 when they used to be in that old gas station up Main Street a ways. Back in the day when you ordered your order was received slabs of meat cane out of a window and were ferociously chopped up with a meat clever. I miss that experience, but none the less their BBQ is top notch. Always on point. I have learned to order my BBQ with the sauce on the side SOS. That's a personal preference. Their sauce is amazing not too sweet, no too sour and with a little kick at the end. Love it! I just like to taste the meat and I think they do a jerk rub on the chicken, but I've never asked. I always call when I'm on my way so I can come in and pay and eat. Which suits me just fine. The picture below is of their Combo with Rib Tips & Dark Meat Chicken. Amazing one of my favorite meals in SWMI. If you have not been? Give them a shot. They are part of the foundation and soul of Benton Harbor and it shows in their delicious food.

    Awesome BBQ ribs and catfish. First time here at another's recommendation and I will return and recommend. This is true wood smoked meat.

    Chicken White Dinner
    Hannah A.

    Good amount of food for the price. It does take a minute for food to come out, but that just means it's fresh. Wish there were more options for dinners (meat with sides included), but I can't complain. The facility was very clean.

    Seemed to be one of the few resturants opened in downtown area on a Friday night. The restaruant was interesting. You go in, order first, then find a seat. There are not waiters. So towards the end of the meal we realized there are no waiters, so we had to go up and ask for a refill of water and was not sure what to do with our trays. Pretty pricey menu for quanitty and quality of food. Got the large pulled chicken, ~$10 for bowl of chicken, sauce, and a side. Also got 2 corn breads. The chicken was very dry, probably would not get it again. The corn bread was very very dry, would not recommend getting it, but there are other breads and sides you could try that looked and sounded better.

    Pulled Chicken Sandwich with Mac and Cheese
    Debbie P.

    The first taste of that pulled chicken sandwich was fantastic! Juicy, tangy, so flavorful. Not to mention very hospitable staff. This spot is open for business during Covid and there is dine-in available. Just to prove how good this place is, there were people in line or picking up food the entire time we were eating. Their menu has a good variety of sides, sandwiches, and platters and their prices were very reasonable. Really enjoyed and would highly recommend!.

    Brisket sandwich and French Fries
    Alexis S.

    All I can say is 10/10!!! The food was amazing and the service was even better. The fish and brisket sandwiches were delicious and crispy. The fries and corn nuggets were hot and fresh. The brisket sandwich was saucy and well seasoned. The catfish burger is to die for and fried very well! I will definitely be back again!

    Shrimp po boy
    Lily Z.

    Although the workers were friendly, the food was not up to par. I ordered a small brisket (unbelievably dry. It was smothered in barbecue sauce. I don't know if it helped/made it worse) and Lark's Rib Tips (very tough. I had to wrench it out of my mouth.) A friend ordered ribs, gumbo (decent) and something else. Boy ordered a shrimp po' boy sandwich. The shrimp were so small. About the size of a quarter. Disappointed in the quality of the food, but I liked the atmosphere and customer service.

Wish i had taken pics of the inviting, casual atmosphere inside and outside. Noted a very friendly setup for kids, and many families enjoying the outdoor games. Our server, Lily, could not have been better. Friendly, helpful, efficient, kind. We thought it was just us (kidding) but she was the same at every table she served, even though she was super busy! Kudos to Lily! One of the best! We had the kitchen split an Asian Crunch Salad as a starter. Fresh and crunchy! Hubby got the Burnt Ends Melt on Detroit Sourdough toast with the house made chips. He loved it and said he'd order it again! I had the Olive Burger and had them put it on their toasted sweet potato jalapeño bun. A Michigan staple, we do not have olive burgers in our state. If you've had an olive burger before, and liked it (as I do whenever we go north) you haven't tried ANYTHING yet! THIS BURGER WAS AMAZING! The burger itself high quality beef and perfectly grilled medium as I requested. Fresh leaf lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, sliced olives, and their delicious homemade olive aioli. Mine with waffle fries which were so generous, I had to give 3/4 of them to my husband (who gladly obliged)! Try the pickle bloody mary, if you're so inclined. Yum! Def will return! If you go, ask for Lily and tell her we sent you! ; )

My husband found himself craving their friends and burgers recently, so I decided to take a chance and come back. The food, as always, is fantastic. We had never ordered an appetizer before so we ended up trying the cheese curds as an extra treat since it's been so long between our last visit and our most recent one. My husband got a double burger with American cheese and bacon, which is a pretty standard order for him. He did end up ordering a side of fries and a drink as well, but the name of the drink has escaped my brain. I got my usual BYOB (build your own burger) which is a bean patty, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion, and honey mustard. The hostess who greeted us was very welcoming and led us upstairs to our table. Our waiter was also very friendly, chatted with us about Pokemon Go and was generally quick with our items. If I could change anything it would be having a little bit more time between our appetizer and our entree, but that wasn't a big deal considering my anxiety usually acts up to a point where I take most of my food home anyways (which I did end up doing). Overall a decent experience, if you come in to dine that is. I still don't trust them to do a proper over the phone order.

He got a double smash burger, no veggies, sauce on the side and that came with fries. My sandwich, the Billy bird, also came with fries. The Billy Bird sandwich has turkey, tacos, American cheese, and their burger sauce on sourdough bread. While this was our first time here, and we didn't get any drinks since we got takeout, we had been here when it was still North Shore Inn. They were owned by North Pier Brewing Company across the street, so this restaurant has changed a bit when it comes to the menu but the ownership has stayed the same and the beers they offer are made by their own brand. Their cocktail menu has updated as well and you can take home their beer in 4pk can form if you'd like. Food was fantastic and I will definitely be looking forward to dining in one day to get the full experience. The poutine, bbq pork rinds, and soft pretzel all sound fantastic on the appetizer menu so all of those are going to be reasons to keep going back. I'll also be interested in trying the pickled gimlet and the Great Lakes transfusion (both cocktails). We shall be back.

About an hour and a half for an appetizer of wings - and that's all we ordered! That should not happen. It's unfortunate for those looking for a nice dinner. Maybe the brewery menu needs to be condensed to packaged snacks and offer their patrons to cross the street to order a "to-go" order. On a high note, Tyler was a great friendly bartender :)
