Gumps BBQ — Restaurant in Lansing

Have been here a few times! Very good brisket (if you can get it). Breakfast burritos are delicious. Very popular, maybe too popular and hard to keep up?

Special note: If you are wanting brisket, call ahead as several times I have been told they aren't serving brisket til the next meal service. My theory is, if a paying customer is standing in a business, they should not be told to come back later because they don't want to cut into another one before lunch. It's one thing if you're sold out, completely another if you are holding back for future sales. It's been a while since I've returned a) smoked brisket myself and b) there are other venues in the area that have adequate supply for meal service. Ensure you can meet the demand. Call ahead if you're looking for anything special to make sure that it's available. You can pre-order to take home for catering.

Fresh made pork rinds still crackling from the oil with a light dusting of barbecue fairy dust. Food was good, if supply meets demand. IG @withlovefrommiche Follow me for...

Rudest service I’ve ever had, so I called in a order for a brisket burrito and was told they didn’t have any and got hung up on, so I waited a couple days called to try to order a brisket burrito again and this time I was told they have brisket but can’t use it for the burritos they have to save the brisket for lunch, so finally today I tried to order again and asked for two brisket burritos and the guy that answered said don’t have none and hung up, so I had my barber call it in to see if he had any luck and for some reason he was able to place a order for a brisket burrito, it’s just horrible phone service and they either never have enough brisket or don’t feel like making the brisket burritos, then another time I called in they said they had no brisket burrito available so five minutes later I pulled up in person and was able to place a order, this place is full of lies and shouldn’t have it on the menu if there not...

Bought a full rack of ribs with Cole slaw and Mac& cheese. The ribs were perfect. Very flavorful, a little spicy Smoky flavor and allowed the meat to be the star. The meat was slightly dry but the BBQ sauce made up for it; it wasn't sweet or overpowering and made the ribs taste better. The Mac & cheese was light and paired well with the rib meat mixed in. The Cole slaw was a perfect ending to the meal, slightly sweet and they used these small black seeds that made it really good. I got there when they were closing (they close early, in the afternoon) but they were very happy to wrap my ribs in foil and put them in a box so they don't fall apart. I thought I would not be able to finish it but I sat there in my car at a park close by eating happily...45min flew by and I was surprised to see I ate everything. Don't be discouraged by it's outside appearance and timing, go in and try the food. Any meat lovers will not be...
