The beer is excellent. Highly recommend getting anything with meat and slathering any of the four amazing BBQ sauces all over it. Sweet potato fries are also super tasty! You can't go wrong here.

Miss this place so much since I moved. Carolina Pulled Pork , cheddar grits , their pulled pork nachos best I've ever had! Their purple sauce is the bomb and their carnivore burger is best ever!

Justin Locke

Flights for $4.77 on happy hour for 7 beers . Just go. Get the Mac and Cheese . Great atmosphere and staff is awesome!

Michelle

I've been to this place a few times. I'm in disbelief that my food can actually taste that dissatisfying. So I've gotten beef brisket and the steak salad . Dry, easily cold. Go for the Mac and cheese

I’ve had bbq in many cities , (KC, Houston, Denver etc) and I have to say Blue Tractor was just as good as those cattle town bbq ! I honestly didn’t expect to find good bbq in Ann Arbor !

Michelle McClintock

Craft beer + House Smoked BBQ - can't go wrong with pork sliders and buttermilk biscuits with an Oak-Aged "Hands Off My Goat !" Oatmeal Stout . After dinner head downstairs to their speakeasy lounge !!

Tony Corsini

The Carnivore Burger is a MUST have! if you enjoy a quality hamburger that has pulled pork , bacon , and also fried jalepenos on it!! All these quality ingredients create an amazing hamburger !

nils janson

Top-notch ribs . Fried pickles were also super tasty.

Yuni Graham

Really large portions . We left here so uncomfortably full. Definitely a fan of the three meat burger . (I can't remember the exact name). Would go back!

Tony Corsini

Pulled Pork Nachos are an amazing appetizer to get! Don't pass this one up if you are a fan of big ol plates of tasty nachos !

Jackie Romzek

The Bumper Crop IPA is delicious! If you come on your birthday you get a free pint glass and a $10 towards your next meal.

Tanushree Shirodkar

Sliders and barbecue combo plate will give you everything on the menu.. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was super good.

Liz Parker Kuhn

Try the pulled pork sandwich with the sweet BBQ sauce , yum. And sweet pickles ! 2/$15 this week during A2 Restaurant Week, for lunch .

Dan Nelson

Pickle chips are awesome, and pulled pork with their different sauces are delicious. Definitely recommend.

The Mac and cheese was pretty bland. The El Camino was pretty tasty loved the salsa verde and the half priced (happy hour ) beer sample was worth the money.

Matthew

The food is epiphanaic, but the service can be slow on packed nights. If you don't die of old age waiting, or of a heart attack eating the Carnivore Burger , you will definitely want to come back!!

Jake Smith

If the Strawberries and Cream beer is available, try it. Also, the purple is the way to go for BBQ sauces .

Sam Iden

fried pickle chips are the best appetizer in town !!!

Thomas Duebner

Barbecue was awesome. The sauce with the purple cap is smokey, sweet, and delicious.

Lida Hasbrouck

The meat is local! And the pickle slices that come with burgers are definitely small-batch made. Awesome food!

Cecily Giuseppa Cammarata

Satchels BBQ is way better, everything is homemade from scratch In-House, and all the meats are smoked out on the smokers!

Ashley Koch

I didn't know you could get Texas style brisket in Michigan. Delicious!

Kristeena Sarver

Delicious fried pickles . Pork belly Mac n cheese was amazing.

Misty Coss

The brisket and the pretzels are great. Service was fantastic.

Rebecca M

Pulled pork ftw. Good beer !

Heather Mittens

I love the bar-bae-cuban sandwich and the pickles on the side are the best!

Sam Constance

If you're hungry, try the BBQ Plate for a taste of everything.

Rhonda Jensen

Pulled pork was yum! And the mixed drinks were perfect!

Kevin Yien

Best BBQ in Ann Arbor with a great beer selection .

Ryan Poling

I just can't come here without getting a slider basket. The sliders are too good and the fries are amazing.

Edward Vielmetti

Friendly service , good food, but slow enough that not everyone was fed by 12:30pm. Somewhat noisy . A good experiment, and good if you had 4 or 6, but not a lunchtime 8.

Ross Gourmet Club

If you want BBQ and can't try to Detroit, this is a nice alternative. BBQ combo plate gives you a nice sampling.

K Edmonds

Try fried green tomatoes as an app with ranch for dipping Very authentic like my aunt used to make!

Samir Nazir

solid BBQ . The Summer Pale Ale is solid

Omid Farivar

The Bbq pulled pork MAC and cheese can be used, in a pinch, as a reason to live.
