thumbs up. since capital q shut down its nice to have a new BBQ joint that’s low key and 8 bucks for a sandwich

Love, love, love this place — especially because it’s a Michigan bar.

It’s low on pretension, the prices are completely reasonable, and — above and beyond all else — has great food. The pulled pork is great, and I’ll echo the fact that the johnny cakes are superb.

Moreover, for Ann Arbor acolytes, they carry Leopold’s liquors — a company that had relocated from A2 to Colorado, but makes a mean gin.

Best collard greens i have ever had in my life.

Very nice waitstaff. We went there after the storms last month and there was 7 of us but they were quick to accomodate that size of a party (its really small for those who have not been). The pastrami was awesome and so were the collards. I would go back for sure.

I love it. It’s a Michigan bar without all the pretension of your average Michigan grad and/or football fan, if that makes sense. In other words, it’s Rich Rodriguez, not Bo Schembechler.

BIG thumbs up. The food is great, the drinks put us on our butts, and one of the two owners whom we met (can’t remember his name, sorry) was friendly, funny and excited to talk about the place. Loved it.

Delicious! Went last weekend and the food was great and the prices were very reasonable (especially compared to nearby Meridan Pint and Room 11). Will definitely be back, the mac and cheese is probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten!!

i believe tom sherwood’s son owns it.

Two thumbs up. Can’t say enough good things about it. Deeeelicious food and awesome waitstaff. Love the decor too!

Thumbs WAY up! The owners are very friendly and they know how to cook some collards.

I missed a neighborhood happy hour here the other week — sounds like I need to get over to this place and check it out!

I am especially curious about the johnny cakes.

went the weekend after it opened and had a decent experience. food was good, service was bad, bill was wrong. hopefully some of those things have/will be ironed out.

cocktail of the day was good and reasonably priced for a specialty cocktail. got pork and chicken platters mixed up because whoever delivered our food just put them down on the corner of the table and said he’d let us figure it out. we didn’t notice we were eating each other’s food until our waitress reappeared a half hr after the food came. lots of empty drinks (both beer and water); busboy had to pick up our waiter’s slack on that. collards were great but lukewarm-to-cold; mac & cheese was also great and lukewarm. layer of oil was separating out in the ramekin by time I got to the bottom.

mac is $1 extra on the meat platters even though it doesn’t specify on the menu. I guess we were supposed to extrapolate this from the fact that mac is $4 instead of $3 when you order it as a side, but the menu just says platters come with two sides. i don’t personally care about the $1, but I do get annoyed whenever restaurants fail to indicate extra charges on the menu. some of the beers we ordered came up at double the chalkboard price; server discounted the difference off the after-tax total, but no one really felt like quibbling at that point. bottom line – double-check your bill.

i’ll go back because the food was plenty good and i live really close, but it’s not like i’ll be rushing to round up a ground of friends for visit no. 2 or anything.
