This is the best barbecue restaurant that I have ever been to…..
Truly, this is the best place that serves brisket I have ever been to the atmosphere is absolutely amazing Brett you once again have the most phenomenal suggestions on food and drink. Your service is top-notch. The atmosphere is top-notch. The food is top-notch. It shows that you have employees that care about what they do and their interaction with the customers I will continue to adjust this place to everybody that I know the crazy thing is is that anytime I bring it up? Everybody goes here.
I find it hard to eat brisket because I don’t like fatty meat. They have a lean portion. This is the only place where I’ve ever seen a lien portion. I waited to do this review because I wanted to see if my opinion was gonna change I absolutely love this place. Top down atmosphere service and food were all top-notch price was very reasonable. Quality was beyond imagine. I want to give a shout out to Olivia and Brett they were great advocates and stewards of this restaurant. I had a lot of annoying questions and I know I usually do, but they were very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant the atmosphere of the restaurant in extremely knowledgeable about the suggestions that they were making. We got the meat platter with the addition of a second helping of brisket. The coleslaw and mac & cheese was great. We also got the fries, covered in gravy with pulled pork, bacon and cheese. The atmosphere is A combination of hard rock in Star Wars litter, the walls and the ceilings of this little restaurant. It’s absolutely an amazing intricate atmosphere with little things hidden all over the place. we went back twice to see if the experience was the same. The second time was even as good as the first. I started talking about this place to people at work. It is a well-known restaurant in old town. Lansing Guy Fieri even spent a little bit of time there. and has recognized this restaurant. I don’t give five star ratings very often but I will give a five star rating to this wonderful place.

I’m visiting Michigan due to work and decided to check out Meats BBQ with my team—and I’m glad we did! I had the 10-piece smoked wings, mac & cheese, and the smoked broccoli salad. The wings were full of smoky flavor and cooked perfectly, and the mac & cheese was creamy and delicious. I didn’t care much for the smoked broccoli salad, but it was still fresh and well-prepared. The price wasn’t too bad either for all the food I got—definitely a good value. The highlight of the visit, aside from the food, was our waitress Olive—she was incredibly nice, attentive, and knew the menu well. Overall, a great BBQ spot. I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in town!

Heard about this on a Facebook group, and sure glad I did. It's in a neat little art district, that we didn't even know about. We split the smoked wing plate and added a side (mashed taters, Mac n cheese, and baked beans). Wings were very good, house sauces were nice as were the mashed potatoes, but the Mac and cheese and beans were outstanding. They have a bunch of house sandwiches that we want to go back to try. Will definitely visit again next time we head up to State.

No question this is the best BBQ in Lansing, quite possibly the entire state. All I want in life is a neverending supply of brisket. It's generally pretty busy, and they do occasionally run out of things. But that proves how delicious everything is. I would recommend going earlier in the day or on a weekday. The beer selection always has a nice variety on tap.

Meat BBQ in Old Town Lansing is fantastic! The brisket is tender and flavorful, and the pickle fries are a crispy, tangy treat. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere—highly recommend!
