The BBQ Joint and Brewery in Ann Arbor is a great spot for a casual meal. The atmosphere is friendly, and the staff, including the bartender, were welcoming and attentive. Service was impressively quick, making it an excellent choice for those looking for efficiency without sacrificing quality. As for the food, the ribs were decent, but the pulled ribs truly stood out—tender, flavorful, and worth the visit. Pricing is fair, making it accessible without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s a solid choice for BBQ enthusiasts or anyone looking for a friendly spot with good vibes. Recommended!

I stopped here to try and flight of their beers and was happy with my experience. It was a bit late, and the food smelled great. The staff was friendly enough, and the beers were solid renditions of their styles. I think the Bumper Crop IPA was my favorite of the bunch. It was just an especially well-balanced IPA. I'd love to try the BBQ next time.

After a vigorous morning workout, my friend and I were ravenous and in search of a hearty meal. Blue Tractor BBQ & Brewery seemed like the perfect pit stop. Tucked in the heart of town, this spot not only promises a commitment to local produce and finely crafted beers but also a tempting BBQ menu that we couldn’t wait to dive into. Food Ordered: We opted for the BBQ Platters, which were a delight to our taste buds but left us wanting a bit more in terms of portion size — perhaps not quite enough to fully satisfy two exercised appetites. -The Sliced Beef Brisket was a standout, expertly smoked for 18 hours with a simple salt and pepper rub; it was as tender as it was flavorful. -The Smoked Chicken thighs, brined and smoked to perfection, hit that smoky sweet spot beautifully. -The Sausage Link, less salty than typical sausages and featuring a special sauce or marinade, was a pleasant surprise in both taste and texture. For sides, the Sweet Potato Fries were a delicious pick, and the Braised Greens added a nice balance to the meat-heavy platter. Although we initially craved a Salmon Sandwich, it was no longer available. The staff recommended another fish filet sandwich (the name escapes me), which turned out to be delicious and perfectly seasoned — a serendipitous substitute that did not disappoint. Brews and More: Don't miss the happy hour from 3-6 pm daily, where you can enjoy half-price sides and brews. It's a fantastic deal, especially for tasting their award-winning craft beer. Final Thoughts: Blue Tractor BBQ & Brewery impresses with its commitment to local sourcing and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is ideal for relaxing post-workout, and while the portions could be larger, the delicious flavors and excellent service make it well worth a visit. Highly recommended for a genuine A^2 dining experience.
