This place is amazing. We have been a few times and are so impressed every time! Everyone in our family enjoyed our meals which included the meatball sub (three big, tender, flavorful meatballs), brisket macaroni and cheese, BLT (the bacon was so good and the mayo was perfect!), the fries and onion rings, and the Arnold Palmer which was literally perfect. Customer service was great too! Can't wait to go back! read more

I didn't get to stop by but Motown Nate's was recommended to me for the best street tacos around... Door dash it was up to the task... It's the default delivery method... WOW!! I ordered this carnitas with everything... Everything is a pico with fresh diced tomatoes onions cilantro and jalapeño ... I say fresh because it actually was!! A green verde on the side and a mild hot sauce were included... The tortillas were white corn and just the right size, soft and fresh... Now the star of this was the carnitas... I have to believe it's been simmering all day to be that tender and juicy... The flavor was not over done either, you can still taste the meat, plenty of diced onions and cilantro... On Point!! You just to say why not and get some!! 4 tacos that will change your day into taco heaven! read more

Motown Nates - Carnitas via Door Dash... - Burgers Near Me - Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

Food was delicious! We had the carnitas tacos and rice bowl. Great customer service too!

One of the best parts of traveling is stumbling upon little gems like this. What a quirky, fun, one of a kind place! The brisket from their smoker was delectable, ditto the hand cut skin on fries. Skip the fast food joints and head straight to Motown Nates when you are in town. read more

Holy smokes - sightseeing in Sault Ste Marie and decided to try Motown Nates for lunch. Food was simply fantastic! We tried the carnitas street tacos, brisket sandwich and gyro and would recommend any of those. If you're looking for reasonable priced amazing food, this is your stop. read more

We were fortunate to find Nate on our travels and he cooks up some great barbecue! Nate is a wonderful host, cooks on a smoker right in the parking lot where there is plenty of outdoor seating. A teepee with tables and a guitar shaped wood burning stove provides seating when the weather turns. We had the barbecue ribs with mac & cheese which was delicious! The portions were huge - hubby and I could easily have shared the 1/2 rack dinner but we happily heated up the leftovers for dinner a second night. I highly recommend trying out Nate's food - you won't be disappointed. read more

Wasn't expecting a food truck, but there was a teepee that you could eat in. Food was good with limited menu.

Amazing BBQ experience. Will be back for the whole menu. Some of the best food in town.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Amazing barbecue. Had the fish tacos and also the meatballs. You must get the lemon cheesecake milkshake it is to die for. You need to be able to stand eating with flies but it was worth it. read more

So good I decided to spend the night in the parking lot to get another shot. Seriously, the tacos were quite good and almost lived up to Nate's description of his food as "life-changing". Spent the night because he is a Harvest Hosts, a collective of various businesses and individuals who offer their locations to traveling RVers read more

The food was amazing! The ambiance was casual. The service was quick overall. It was not crowded when we went. We split a Philly cheesesteak, and fries, and our friends got a pulled pork, a BLT and onion rings. Everything was really delicious. read more

This was by far the best food we had on Sault Ste Marie! The service was excellent. We had the Love Me Tender Poutine. Those fries were awesome with flavorful gravy and a large portion of tender beef roast. My husband had The Big Heavy, and he didn't finish that fabulous burger. Lastly, we had street tacos. They were a little light on meet but made up for it in flavor. We took our food back to our rental to eat. They fo have picnic tables to eat at. This was our last dinner. We wish we had checked it out sooner. read more

Any tourists looking for a friendly modest priced meal definitely check out Motown Nate! Motown has a great outdoor tent with picnic tables, which makes it great to sit outside on a sunny day or even if it's a little wet out! Prime location off of Ashmun street across from Parker's Ace Hardware! Personal favorite is the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich! Motown has many different options for you to choose from! read more

Wow! I lucked out finding Motown Nates Street Kitchen as I was headed to another place, but noticed the outdoor seating and the big menu sign outside had very interesting menu items listed. The "Big Heavy" was crazy good. The beef was awesome, and the burger came on an incredible bun with all the toppings you could imaging. The fries are uniquely huge, but cooked perfectly and very tasty. I would definitely recommend stopping at Motown Nates soon! I will be back! read more

We came into town from Arizona and Mom was craving a hot dog. Someone along the main strip suggested Motown Nates and we gave it a try. We had the cheeseburger sliders, Philly cheesesteak sandwich and a hotdog with the hand cut fries. Everything was delicious. Even though it was cold out, we sat under the canopy and enjoyed our meal immensely!! read more

This is a street kitchen with an extensive menu. Incredible presentation. Delicious offerings. We had a walleye blackened fish sandwich and Greek salad with a generous tasty portion of chicken. The fish sandwich came with a side, which we chose waffle fries, that were superb. Incredible find in a relative food desert. read more
