MISSION BBQ GRAND RAPIDS REVIEWS

This place was great. I ate best brisket I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time, baked cheesy potatoes were amazing and the Mac was great too! Service was excellent we had an extremely cool gentle man bring our food over and explain the sauces. All around top both establishment, the red velvet cake was also fire. Thanks again for a great meal and service. Def gonna be my go to when I’m the Grand Rapids area.

Stopped in for lunch, great as always. My wife had pulled chicken, mac n cheese, green beans and cornbread. I had brisket, green beans and cornbread. Being a chain BBQ restaurant every location we've had has been consistently the same.

If you want some good Texas BBQ then this is the place for you. Great food and GREAT customer service.

TWO SCOTTS BARBECUE REVIEWS

Two Scouts is one of Grand Rapids' fantastic restaurants! Their barbecue is exceptional. I had a wonderful experience with delicious food that met all my expectations for a barbecue joint. Their menu features brisket, sausage, pulled pork, and pulled chicken, along with a variety of great sides. You can't go wrong by dining here! If you're in the mood for barbecue, be sure to check out Two Scouts!.

This is the best BBQ in Grand Rapids. The atmosphere there is great, the food is great. I make a point of driving across town to have lunch there a couple of times a year. It is the kind of lunch experience that can make your entire day.

Wonderful dry rub pulled chicken but what brings me to review 2 S’s are the collard greens! Oh be still my heart. Great vinegary flavor but not too much and a bit of heat added. My first time in since moving to GR—I’ll be back!.

K- ROK KOREAN BBQ & KARAOKE SOJU COCKTAIL BAR REVIEWS

My husband and I had dinner here today, and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and friendly, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. The owner/manager was very attentive, and his Korean mother is in charge of the kitchen, so you can really taste the authentic flavors and amazing seasoning in every dish. We were especially surprised to find that they offer thick-cut meats for the Korean BBQ, which made the experience even better. We tried several different types of meat, and every single one was tender, flavorful, and delicious. We also enjoyed the dumplings and the variety of side dishes, which were all fantastic. The all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ for only $29 is an incredible value. We left completely satisfied and can’t wait to come back.

Had a bulgogi burger late night.10/10, owner is always at hand and willing to answer questions. Not a lot of spots in GR doing what this place does.

Great service, and great food. Our server was very attentive. We are in town for a comedy show, and walked in for an early dinner. Our server made great recommendations, and the food was wonderful. The banchans were all so tasty. We have been trying Korean BBQ's all around Michigan, and this was among the best. Drinks were refilled multiple times before we were finished with them. Great place to go for our date night. This will be on our list of places to come next time we are in town again. Our server really made this a great experience. 10 out of 10 recommend.
