Matt catered our wedding 8/27 providing our guest with delicious Brisket, Smoked chicken, macaroni, and cheesy potatoes! The food would absolutely immaculate, steaming hot, presentation beautiful as well! Matt also such a great help to us throughout the entirety of the event. This guy even took time out to get elderly guest beverages, which was not something he was there for. He ensured me and my bride was taken care of and well fed throughout dinner. We can not be more happy that we were able to have pit stop cater our event! They absolutely killed it, I would give them 10/5 stars if I could! Thank you Matt for the great food and service! Highly recommended

For Michigan, pretty great bbq. It’s wonderfully affordable, there are lots of options, and the service is very good. Only thing I would mention is that a good portion of the food does have at least a little bit of a kick. So, fair warning to those who are particularly sensitive to that. However, the flavor is excellent.

The Pit Stop catered our son’s high school graduation open house and it was a big hit for all of our guests. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, cheesy tots, and cole slaw. Hayden arrived on time and took great care setting up the food and explaining a few details to us. When our older children graduated, we prepared the food ourselves, but it was so much more relaxing to have it all taken care of for us (including silverware, napkins, plates). It let me focus on my son and our guests instead of having to deal with food preparation. Thanks for the great food and service!

First timer. Bummed out. Tough time finding decent eats in GR and the hunt goes on. Won’t be unnecessarily mean but truth… chicken thighs were dry, clearly old, probably leftovers from a catering event. Brisket had good bark but (my serving at least) was fatty, more so than I’ve typically been served over the years, sausage just bad – grainy, broken skin, and a slight rancid taste on first chews. None of the meat had a depth of smoke. Beans were good, slaw too, but disappointed that those were the highlight. My guess is the the two days open and short hours are a good way to offload uneaten items from previously catered events perhaps the weekend and days prior to Thursdays and Fridays that follow. I had better hopes given the high ratings but upon closer review, it does appear the food does better at events vs the brick and mortar sales to the public. I will say the folks behind the counter we friendly but not the BBQ spot for us. We’ll stick to Two Scotts.

Located in a strip mall by Pal’s Diner. This is a small place with no inside seating and a couple of picnic tables outside. Kind of like Subway where you order on one side and pay on the other. Just 1 warning they are only open on Thursday & Friday!

A friend raved about it and I thought I would try it. I would go back if suggested, but try something different. I like a more grandiose smoke on the rib but it was okay. I thought food in general was not seasoned well and bland. The sauce I asked for was spicy mi e was not so they may have given me the wrong sauce. I had baked beans, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw, all of which I had to come home and add some flavor

I really want to like this place but after giving them a 2nd chance the experience is the same as the previous. The previous time was in 2019. The last one was a week ago. Basically, everything was bland and lacked the smoky flavor. I ordered some brisket, pork and chicken. If not for the sauces the meats were tasteless. Also, the chicken was dry. I used to smoke meats until my smoker conked out. I like my smoked meats better.

First visit so I am being a little open minded. I ordered the brisket platter. Portion size is not a problem at all, kudos to you! The sides, I had the beans Delish!! The cheesy tots Very good!!. The brisket….tasted more like dried out roast. They chunk instead of slice which might be part of the problem and/or how long it was cooked or sat before I was given my serving. It had a very nice bark but was way too dry for good brisket. I will try here again as I have heard great things about this place but for my first visit they are barely getting 3 stars.
