Wow........ this place was amazing from the second we walked in. It is large, open and had an amazing atmosphere with people laughing and enjoying themselves. The waitress was super friendly and helpful and the beers were out of this world! I got the 1/2 lb of pulled chicken and 3 slider buns and tried every BBQ with it. I would be back in a second! Our Mac and cheese came out cold but without question the waitress corrected the issue when she noticed no one was eating it and it was excellent. 10/10 recommend read more

The Dixie Bird sandwich was a 5 out of 5. So so so good. The chicken was awesome w the bacon, onions and Alabama white bbq sauce. Packed w flavor and each bite was outstanding.

Green beans were good. 4 out of 5. Cornbread was very moist and great flavor. 5 out of 5. Service was great on pickup order. We ordered ahead and it was ready when we requested. read more

10/10 service: Kevin is amazing - so knowledgeable about the menu and shared his recommendations. He was quick, attentive and professional with a great friendly demeanor. 10/10 food: get the Sliders, they're phenomenal, juicy, packed with flavor on the perfectly toasted mini slider bun buttery and delicious + absolutely get the Dill Potato Salad - likely the best potato salad, creamiest potato salad I've ever tried. The corn nuggets albeit not homemade, tasted like perfection and the dipping sauce was the perfect complement. 10/10 craft brews: all made on site from Mountain Town Brewing Co. Favorites: Railyard Raspberry - Raspberry Wheat Ale, The Wife is Calling - Light Honey Lager & Blood Orange Moscow Mule - all on tap! The outdoor seating options were perfect for a beautiful night. It was our first time here and we will absolutely be back. Oh, and don't forget you get 15% off as a Great Lakes Bay Dining Card member - great deals! read more

The atmosphere was very much a modern brew house meets western bbq. Even with dark walls the large windows and lights make the place plenty bright and welcoming. I ordered the Ultimate Sampler ($45). This has Sliced Beef Brisket, Sliced Tri-Tip, Pulled Pork, Shredded Chicken, Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Smoked Chicken Wings, Ribs, Cornbread (2), Pickled Onions, Sweet & Spicy Pickles, & Choice of Two Sides. I got Baked Beans and Mashed Potatoes. The portion sizes were generous and the say feeds 2. I would say it could feed 3. The brisket was very good, just a tad dry, however very tender. The Tri-tip was good, just a little tough. The pulled pork and shredded chicken were both excellent. As were the ribs and chicken wings. The sausage was ehh. The cornbread was very good. The pickles were excellent. The baked beans and boursin mashed potatoes were both fantastic and worth visiting for those alone. My ranking of everything from my Best to least favorite: Ribs, Chicken Wings, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Shredded Chicken, Cornbread, Brisket, Tri-tip, and lastly sausage. Nothing was bad, and a lot was excellent! They have 6 sauces to choose from: Regular Bbq, Cajun Bbq, Apple Bbq, Korean Bbq, Alabama White, and Carolina Gold. They were all good. The service was very friendly and helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'll round to 4. Would I return? Absolutely. Very good bbq. read more

Craving some amazing BBQ in Mt Pleasant after a big win at the casino? Summit Smokehouse is a great option. Indoor tables & bar (in-house brewery) & outdoor patio seating. Ordered Smokehouse Mac Skillet with Pulled Beef Brisket. Nice and cheesy, large portion of smokey briskit served in the cast iron skillet. Tableside housemade BBQ sauce varieties to add. Mississippi Pot Roast was enjoyed. Big Tex Wrap was enjoyed. Great, friendly, attentive service from staff. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious! Portions are big and the BBQ is ever tasty - I had pulled pork and brisket. The service was top notch. I had a Hefeweizen and thought it was spot on - I think it's called "Just Heffe'n Around." 70 degrees today - not bad for early March, I only wished they had their garage doors open to the patio. Check out the brewery while you are here. read more

We were looking for a restaurant on New Year's Day, lots of things were closed. Summit smokehouse happen to be open and gosh, we were lucky! Their burnt end appetizer was my main meal & were awesome !! They have a a stellar selection of brewery beers, ciders, wine and delicious seasonal cocktails! The chicken sandwich was perfect! Made him very happy . The service was excellent.. Nice warm up for a cold grey day & an awesome start to 2026 We will return and try more menu items! read more

I met up with a couple local friends for dinner at Summit recently. The space is huge and we were seated right away as it wasn't busy. As expected, the menu includes quite a bit of smoked meat and beer! I was having a tough time choosing what to get since I normally would order a sampler platter at a BBQ spot. However, Summit doesn't have a single person platter, only larger options meant for multiple people. I would love if they added an option to choose one or two meats + sides rather than having to order the BBQ a la carte. I decided on the BB-Cuban sandwich that came with waffle fries. The sandwich was huge and I had leftovers. I really liked the mustard and it was stuffed with a generous amount of pork. The bread was soft and the fries were crispy and delicious. I really liked this sandwich and the leftovers were still good reheated the next day. I'd come back to Summit but would really love a smaller sampler platter option! read more

The food was fabulous! My husband had the ribs. The meat fell off the bone. The potato salad and baked beans were also good. I had the T-bone steak and it was also yummy. The seasoning used negated the need for any steak sauce. The sides are ample. The service was also good. Our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. There is plenty of room with a cool bar area separate from the dining area. This was our first time eating here. Now that we know it exists, it will be part of our rotation. read more

We had the ultimate sampler. Everything was great. Great smoked flavor and very tender. Emily our waitress was the best.

Absolutely one of the best meals we've had in a while. Every single thing was delicious, well crafted and crave-able! From the cheese sauce you could drink from a mug, to the brisket and pulled pork, Mac n cheese, the pretzel AND the mustard! Literally everything is delicious and has its own special spin. read more

My friends and I planned a retirement luncheon and we ended up at Summit. We were looking for something nice but reasonable and open for lunch as well. I ordered the Big Tex Wrap and one of my friends ordered the Boss Hog sandwich. The other two ordered soup and salads. Both of the sandwiches were incredibly dry, flavorless especially for a smoked meat. We had to smother them in BBQ sauce to choke them down. We were terribly disappointed, hoping the flavors would be similar to something like Bad Brad's, but alas no. The salads were good sized and the soup was very good, a bit spicy but not too much. The croutons looked homemade. For a $20 sandwich though, I won't return to Summit. If I'm hankering for some good smoked meats I'll be looking elsewhere. The service was very good, attentive but not annoying and friendly. read more

Always love stopping here to pick up a couple 6 packs of train wrecks. They have a small bar in the back for Drinks only and a regular restaurant and bar in the front. We decided to eat and split a BBQ Chicken sandwich and fries. Both were delicious and we will for sure be stopping to eat here again. Our bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the brand and offered up areas in Macomb where we can find train wrecks. Service was quick and attentive as we were there just as they opened for lunch on a Sunday. read more

Ribs were very tough and salty...very difficult to cut through. Wasn't expecting this for a BBQ restaurant. Proper ribs should fall off the bone. Sides were just mediocre, nothing special. read more

We ordered the sampler, says it will feed 2, hope you're hungry. Absolutely fantastic! Emily our server helped us substitute an item or two and has been extremely friendly. And the bar and tap room are looking fantastic. I can't believe I have lived 10 minutes from this place for almost a year and didn't know it existed. Might become my second home! Great food, great beer, and great people! read more

Really nice smokehouse/ taproom restaurant. Nicely furnished with cute character. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and spot on taking care of us. We started with the Corn Nuggets appetizer. They were crunchy and sweet and so so yummy! While they have a nice selection of beers, but only 1 cider on the menu. We had The Ultimate Sampler and it was fabulous! It's advertised to feed 2 but could have easily fed 3 people. There was pulled chicken, pulled pork, hickory smoked beef brisket, sausage, and wings. It also included Texas toast and sweet cornbread, choice of 2 sides, and pickles and pickled onions. There was enough served that I had leftovers for another meal. read more

Came to the restaurant as my family had never been here before. Ordered our drinks and being a BBQ joint, I as a vegetarian ordered the same thing I have had here time and time again (my go to). A burger with the meat and cheese on a side plate (paying for it anyway and my husband will eat it) with the bun with all the veggie together. After sitting there for sometime enjoying our drinks our waitress comes over and says there are no modifications in the kitchen tonight we are training kitchen staff. Well after some back and forth I asked for the manager. No joke, the manger comes over and says "I hear there is a problem with the onions". Cancelled our entire meal for table of 4 and won't be back. With no customization there is nothing I could eat on the entire menu. Disappointed read more

Was traveling through the area for work and decided to try this place. I was absolutely blown away, great beer and beer selection, amazing food and outstanding service. Cannot recommend this highly enough. read more

Great beer! Great food! The staff is awesome! Tim will take care of you at the bar! read more

Ordered the burnt ends which come out on a cutting board covered in a insanely sticky almost molasses type sauce which defeats the purpose of burnt ends. Also ordered the pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw and onion straws on it. It was quite dry and many fatty pieces. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich with cheese sauce and bbq. The cheese sauce was over top of the bun so unsure how to eat this "sandwich" waitress was a little over attentive but at the same time took our cutlery before our main meal came out when clearing our appetizer plates and didn't bring any bbq sauce to the table even though this is a bbq restaurant. Safe to say we will not be returning. read more

This is the place you need to go for some good bbq food. The brisket there is delicious. The smoking Jay sandwich is my go to. Don't like ipa beers but they have some strong ones that will take you home to sleep after the food coma you go into. 5 out of 5 stars for me read more

Great environment, great aesthetic, nice menu size! I was not a fan of the mac and cheese. More like a soup, to be honest. I guess it may be based on my personal preference but I was disappointed. The service wasn't awful, but our waitress wasn't very enthusiastic. They had great takeout containers, and I really regret not trying the pork barbecue, it looked delicious!! I will be giving The Summit another shot, even though it wasn't my favorite meal. read more

The service was excellent! The food was good quality and tasted great! We had the brisket tacos to start and they were very good. The sausage was a bit dry but good flavor. Overall, a very nice meal. We are locals who hadn't discovered this place yet. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is delicious. I've tried lots of stuff on the menu and have not come across any that wasn't amazing. As soon as you walk in, you can smell how good the food is there. read more

This was the first time at this restaurant and it was really good food and good service and the ambience was very nice. We did sit outside because we had our dog with us. I am glad they have a place forpeople to eat that have dogs. read more

In the area for a concert and this is our first time here. What a great place! First of all they have a wide selection of their own craft beer all on tap. Had a nice flight of 5 -IPAs and a couple wheat beers. But what we really came for was the BBQ! Got the sampler platter for 2 based on a previous review and were not dissapointed- definately alot of great food! My favorite was the brisket, melt in your mouth tender and great flavor. Can't go wrong with anything smoked here.Katelyn our server was super friendly and gave us the low down on all the beers and sauces. At the end of our meal we had a nice chat with the manager about the brewery and smokehouse history. read more

Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Who would've thought all the way in Mount Pleasant??? Traveled here for work at Central Michigan and was happy I stumbled on this place via Yelp. Great service, great meat, and the vibes were great. Brisket Mac & Cheese and the Pulled Pork Nachos were delicious. Trust me - you've gotta have it. read more

Just tried this place for the first time today for lunch and was incredibly let down. I had such high hopes for a good barbecue place here in Mount Pleasant but as of now, it doesn't seem up to snuff. Pulled chicken was quite dry with minimal flavor/seasoning. The Mac & cheese was horrible. It was basically a glorified cheese & noodle soup, the sauce didn't even stick to the noodles and it was bland as can be. Willing to give them another chance during dinner hours as that's likely their busier time, but for my first experience I was expecting substantially more. read more

Service was top notch. We had 4 adults, and two kids. We ordered the MEAT SWEATS for us all to share and everything was absolutely delicious. Great beer list too! read more

Pretzel was amazing, Meat was a little dry in our Ultimate sampler although the food were generous portions with leftovers after feeding 3 of us. Service was pretty good and ambiance was typical for this type of bar/restaurant. read more

Takeout customer, ordered from the website a few times. 3 stars is generous. Overpriced, service was hit and miss, food quality inconsistent and order was messed up several times. It is very out of character for me to complain to management but after several interactions, my orders being messed up began to really get on my nerves so I pulled up my receipt and brought some errors to their attention. The shift lead fixed my order and refunded me. She was very nice and handled my complaints well and she showed great customer service skills. But after seeing what they are willing to send out of the kitchen, logically, I don't think it's wise for me to come back and eat here. Over all seems like a nice place but if you're looking for take out maybe keep looking read more

The waitstaff was amazing. Great atmosphere and the food is absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area

I sat at the bar and had a mighty fine IPA with half a pound of chicken. The manager was behind the bar - a really nice guy. Excellent service, quiet atmosphere. read more

All the food was good although it all could use a little more smoke. Moderately to high priced. Service was good. A mistake on the bill had over charged us by about $20. It was taken care of after I brought it to their attention. Nice atmosphere and busy. read more

This is definitely a great addition to the food scene here in Mt. Pleasant! The service was good, I really liked the atmosphere, and there were a ton of things on the menu that I really want to try. The food options are sounding really tasty and there is a decent beer selection too! I tried the raspberry wheat beer, which was very lightly raspberry flavored - definitely not like a cider or even what I would consider a "fruity beer." It was good, I would try it again. The Red Ale was full bodied and rich. I would also order that one again. The garlic fries were really good! I had a burger and it was cooked perfectly and served on a toasted bun. My husband did the sliders and said the pork was good but the chicken was better. He did not try the brisket because there was too much fat in it. Overall 4 out of 5. We will definitely be back! There are several TV'S, so when football season rolls back around we will make this a game day spot too! read more

Food and service was amazing. We are from out of state and decided to take a short drive to try them, so happy we did. We will definitely visit them again when we are back in the area. read more
