    Buddha bowl with salmon
    Elizabeth Z.

    Came here for a dinner with family after a long day of traveling. Had reservations in a private room that ended up being a corner of the restaurant but it was fine just because we didn't want our rather large party to be split up. Dark lounge feel with a hint of country throughout sims up the indoor decor as well as the area for the restaurant. Service was pretty mid, had to ask for a water about 4 times myself as well as others asking for waters. Trying to enjoy family time and while the server was friendly, we felt a little rushed in ordering and experiencing a night out together. Got several appetizers, bang bang shrimp was probably the standout. Dirty fries, crab cakes and shrimp cocktail were all fine. Got the Buddha bowl with salmon, others got pasta, salads and brisket to name a few. Buddha bowl was pretty flavorless despite all of the different ingredients, glad I added the salmon to it. Sweet potato fries from someone else's plate were really good. Brisket was just okay as well. Salads came out at the same time as meals which made it hard to fit everything on the table. Nothing to write home about but it is a really cute area and would love to go back and try something else close by.

    Smokehouse platter
    Wes H.

    Absolutely phenomenal food and service with cool decorations and art. My wife got the parm crusted whitefish that I tried. Pretty fantastic. I was on the fence between the steak and smokehouse platter. I went with the platter and honestly might be the best restaurant brisket, pork & ribs I've ever had. Perfect bark and texture. I was blown away how good it was.

    Kids menu

    Great place. Highly recommended! They have a kids menu which you can't find online. Got right in. Have some outdoor seating. Calamari is delicious with their house made cocktail sauce.

    Crab fries; pretty, but bland.

    How does this place get so many stars and good reviews. Whoever been liking this had no ideas what…read morereal BBQ is or they got lucky. This is such a tourist trap. 1. It is overpriced. $25 for 2 meat plate you get little piece of chicken and chop meat. Sides are good but the meat are tiny. 2. It is gross. you know something is wrong when your bbq is drown in sauce. Look at the picture. I never seen a bbq restaurant drown their meat in sauce. It is like they just grilled it or microwave the meat and just dump sauce on them and call it bbq. Also it was cold. Might as well eat at Applebee's if they are serving this. I was going to give 0 star but server was patient and nice. Food was just terrible. Everybody that give good reviews have nachos or macaroni. That's easy to make, but the items that involve technical skills and times, they have no idea how to make barbeque period

    Stopped at Sparks while visiting Traverse City because my husband and I were craving BBQ --…read moreparticularly BBQ nachos. Unfortunately, Sparks was busier than expected so it took way long to get our food - even though we just ordered the nachos and a side of mac. Our waiter apologized many times due to being short staffed for the holiday weekend, but we were getting soo hangry we devoured our food in 10 minutes by the time we got it. The nachos were pretty good - I expected there to be a lot more meat and toppings for the price - and I wish they had put all of the BBQ sauce on it! We asked for all of their BBQ sauce on the side so we could try all of it. The mac & cheese was also pretty good! I probably would opt for a sandwich if I came back though since I do think the nachos were a bit lackluster.

    So I want to be cautious here as I know there is new ownership from what I heard. My wife and I…read morecame here spontaneously as we were in town for the weekend. When we ordered, the bartender didn't drink which made it hard to know what certain beers taste like, but honestly, no judgement because he did the right thing and offered tastes of beer which was awesome and helpful! So service wise I would say great! The beer tasted really good as well and was decently priced. They had a bourbon barrel stout which was pretty good and newly released. The biggest issue we had was with the food. I ordered the spam sandwich with chips and my wife ordered the chicken quesadilla. While the food was cheap, the quality of the food also seems that way too based off what we ordered. The spam sandwich was supposed to be teriyaki flavored, and didn't get any of that. There wasn't a lot of thousand island dressing on it too, which made the sandwich dry. The chips that were served were clearly out of a bag as they were cold, which made it seem like I could have just gotten a bag myself. I would have paid a few dollars extra to get something fresh like fries. While spam comes from a can and I know this, my wife's chicken quesadilla had chicken that was clearly from a can - it was sopping wet, and the meat was very chunky, and very salty. This made us worry the rest of the food may not be very fresh. While we did have that experience, I will say the pretzel bites were really good and did seem fresh, and they were sourdough! So that was nice. I think this place has very good beer, and a really cool bar setup with a nice stage, arcade machines, and much more. However, I wouldn't come back here for lunch. Instead, I would make food at home. I would highly recommend more fresher options, and I would pay a little more for better quality food.

    Had tacos and chips during our independent bike and brew tour…read more The Stevedore cider was amazing. Nice place, quiet due to 9/1. Will return.
