Wonderful experience at O.T.'S Up-N Smoke BBQ! Located in Battle Creek, Michigan, this bbq is known for the awards and bringing smoke to the city! Great menu items, and I look forward to trying more.

The food was okay. There was lovely smoked on the chicken and ribs, but honestly, it lacked flavor. I'm not a big sauce person, but if you are, the bbq sauce would make up for the flavor. Great smoke!

The service was great! They explained the menu clearly and were very kind in serving the customers.

The atmosphere was awesome! There were trophies and decor the screamed bbq. All of the decor was well put together.

O.T.'S Up-N Smoke BBQ is a great bbq space. I'm looking forward to trying other menu options and getting that...

I lhave always loved the ribs and was thinking I would get some for New years eve but then as I thought about it I remember the last time I got their ribs. They were very tough and didn't fall off the bone like they usually do... They were more stringy and got stuck in your teeth... I wound up throwing away about a slab and a half of the ribs because they were so tough and tasted old ... So because of that i decided not to get the two slabs i planned on getting.. will just go to meat market and buy some rib eyes.. I dont want to risk the price of a couple slabs and have them chewy and tough.. as they are a bit pricey and you can never go wrong with ribeyes...

Edit... After a long time i fid get two rib dinners and a chicken dinner... They we very good and fell off the bone ..sweet and tender.... Im going to give a...

We ended up throwing everything away, nasty. First off the workers are polite and friendly so this rating is about taste and quality.

Placed an order for the tips meal for myself and rib for my wife, both were almost completely pure fat. The sauce went all over our meals, the cheap foam containers cause the sauce to leak outside the containers and go inside the plastic bags.

OK so we couldn't eat the food because the flavor and amount of fat, we washed off the sauce and tried to give to our dog but she sniffed it and walked away from it. If our dog won't eat it there's something wrong.

Maybe their quality has dropped and they're buying cheaper meat? I don't know, but it's the only story I have to tell about any restaurant serving inedible food. ...
