    Great BBQ!  I got the brisket, sausage, pork belly and all were delicious.  It's definitely the go-to place in Mt Pleasant, MI for BBQ - there is no competition.

    Also their brisket street tacos were great.

    If you are looking for some GREAT BBQ, this is where you want to be.  There are a lot of BBQ places that you can eat at, but they are nothing compared to the food that is prepared at this restaurant.

    Ribs are falling off the bone delicious.  Pulled Pork melts in your mouth.  Whenever I am in Mount Pleasant, I make it a point to visit so that I can get some Deliciousness.

    Incredible brisket and pulled pork.  Cornbread and pit beans were great.  You can eat there or do take out.  Everything packed to-go was super well-done and we had all we needed for a full meal on the go. Can't wait to come back again. Take sauces to go too! Appreciated how the meat is bbq'd only and not pre-drowned in sauce :)

    Maxon's Blue Country Barbecue has added new items, including Pulled Pork Nachos, which are absolutely stellar!

    The only good BBQ around Mt. Pleasant. The owner was very friendly and I chatted him up while I ate. For now, it's primarily geared towards take out, but the he plans on building out the dining room as well as some outdoor seating for summertime. He also said he plans on partitioning off the very end of the dining room to create a sausage making area (currently he's just smoking store bought Kielbasa style sausages). Once the building is ready, he'll expand the hours to more than just the weekend. On to the food! Overall, it was all pretty danged good. The brisket was perfect with a simple Texas style rub (salt, pepper, and maybe some garlic). Moist, tender, and with a beautiful, prominent smoke ring. Pulled pork was equally good, and the sausage was good for having started as store bought, although I do prefer the coarser grind of homemade (more like the texture of Bratwurst or Italian Sausage). The mac-n-cheese was excellent; super cheesy and flavorful. The cornbread seemed like it was right out of the oven, which made me happy because I love cornbread and at most places you often get a dried out piece. I only wish they had butter to slather on it (mmmmmm... hot buttered cornbread), but oh well. The only thing I didn't care for was the burnt ends (which he gave me on accident, but said just keep them). They were very, very fatty and not so great, but hey, everything else was great so  whatevs. I'll definitely hit it up again when I'm feeling too lazy to fire up my smoker.
