Wow! you did it again! Great food, great ambience, and great service Friday night! Had to go back again Saturday for your tacos! Your chocolate desert was incredible also!

Came here for lunch on a weekday just before the rush- it is now table service (instead of ordering at the counter) per our waitress. Service was speedy - the menu has something for everyone ranging from BBQ to salads and tacos. Since I generally eat gluten free, I went for just the 1/2 pound of brisket and also got mashed potatoes. Sadly there is no combo meal of brisket + a side but I wish there was! Otherwise it gets pricey. The sandwiches and burgers seemed like better value/deals but I didn't want to go bunless/breadless Brisket ($14)was tender flavorful and delightfully smokey. The mashed potatoes were delicious but again, value for a $5.75 scoop of potatoes is questionable. The below meal cost $20 not including tip. Inside there is a lot of space and big tables to accommodate larger groups which is nice. Overall, it was great and for those getting things beside the BBQ meat, it's definitely a great lunch spot in terms of value.

First time checking out this place! Been excited to try this spot and it is really big and like the restaurant feel. We sat outside since it was another beautiful evening. The service was great and the food came super quick: there was a steady flow for a Thursday but not too crazy, but even still the food was fast. Pretty great looking drink and food with lots of tasty options. I got the nachos of course (pulled chicken was my favorite of the triple meat- but all was good) and my wife got the tacos! Everything was very delicious and tasty and super filling: we had lots of leftovers. The price was reasonable to the few other bbq type places that are around Grand Rapids but I like the more restaurant feel here. Would definitely recommend and look forward to trying more in the future.

Simply amazing! The best BBQ anywhere north of Texas. The staff is so friendly. The live music is needed on a weekend. The owners know how to make you feel welcome. Highly recommended! A must to dine at in Caledonia. 10

Excited to see another local restaurant in Caledonia. As others have said, the concept needs a little bit of explaining so some big signs would be helpful. Luckily when we walked in, a server was nearby and pointed us to the far counter to order and said a server would come take a drink order after we pay and grab a table. So you will have 2 bills at the end of the day. They have a menu you can order off of or you can just pick meat based on weight and add sides. For a weekend lunch, the only meat was pulled pork, brisket, and chicken. I wish they had some sausage or ribs but it sounded like they had ribs cooking for dinner. The sides were all delicious. I've seen some comments complaining about the sides but we liked them all. The coleslaw was very light, and the potatoes/mac and cheese were seasoned nicely and not mushy at all. The brisket was our favorite meat of the 3 but I enjoyed it all. The pulled pork seemed to have a seasoning on it that was similar to a Mexican/taco seasoning, which was interesting. We loved the variety of bbq sauces on the table! The staff checked on us multiple times even though it isn't a true waiter scenario, which was nice. They also have a coffee shop in the corner which I believe has different owners, but I'm not sure how that really works.

If you're a BBQ fan, butcher block social is THE spot. With garage doors that open to the outside and a variety of picnic-style tables and modern rustic decor, be prepared to spend plenty of time here on nice days enjoying the atmosphere and the weather. We loved their brisket and pulled pork sandwiches (generous portions of meat on delicious hoagie rolls), their corn bread casserole, and their cheesy potatoes the most! The mac and cheese was the only meh item. Food is served cafeteria style, but we had friendly waiters checking in on us frequently to grab our drink orders and clear tables. For drinks we loved their version of a margarita! We were a little disappointed with their old fashioned, but if you like straight bourbon they have a plethora of options and several nice barstools to park at. Overall, the atmosphere and the delicious food will bring me back! Glad to have a new spot a little outside of the city. I love me a parking lot!

This is a new restaurant in Caledonia. I went here for dinner with my family and LOVED it. The ambiance was incredible and the food, delicious. I love the vibe and everything about this place. They have a fantastic bar and a coffee shop as well (haven't tried the coffee yet but heard it is good). They serve breakfast too (except Sunday, I believe)... so I stopped in to try some of their breakfast tacos to go. They may appear tiny but are very filling. I ate two (one sausage and one bacon) and was very full. Highly recommend picking some up between or en route to weekend sporting events. One of the best restaurants in Caledonia. Owned and operated by local Caledonia families. It's a classy, casual local favorite of mine for sure. Even my picky son likes it so that's telling! Honestly very excited about this place and highly recommend it.
