Skinny Kennys BBQ Food Truck and Catering — Restaurant in Oshtemo Charter Township

My wife and I were hesitant to try this place at first...because no BBQ should ever have Skinny in the name. But when we pulled up, on what would normally be the patio with seating were two legit giant smokers with giant stacks of wood. I was pretty convinced we were at the right place. It was empty at noonish on a Wednesday which is surprising. Given the amount of food for the cost I can't believe this place wasn't hopping for lunch. I ordered the Smothered Tots and my wife ordered what I think were called the Southwest Tots. First off best cooked tots we have both had in years each tot perfectly crispy and delicious. My tots had chopped brisket and my wife had pulled pork. I tried both meats separate from the sauces and tots and both were well seasoned and cooked, I felt like they would stand on their own just fine. However, you put it together with all the ingredients the meat and tots and it was exponentially more awesome. Both dishes were delicious... I took pictures of both because I felt like they deserve to be in the review and I don't usually do that... bear in mind that we had both consumed a bunch before the picture was taken. The potions were huge and we easily could have shared one. We took half or more home of each one and were warned by staff that it wasn't going to be as good reheated, but I am confident I will still enjoy it...again. Skinny Kenny was in store and asked about our experience and the good news is he isn't too skinny. Staff was nice and food is ordered and paid for at the counter, comfortable seats. Didn't try their ice cream...maybe the next...

Visited for the 1st time yesterday, 10/22/22, at the Kalamazoo/Stadium drive location. They were slammed with both dine in and take out orders. We chose to dine in, and experienced some hangry tendencies as we came starving. However, through the continuous engagement and authentic compassion from the staff, it definitely made the wait more bearable.

We had (2) Treat Yourself plates to maximize the sampling of food for our first visit, along with a half rack of ribs.

Everything was ahhhhhhhhh-mazing!!!!

Our plates let us sample the: Ribs, Pulled pork, Sausage, Brisket, Spicy Greens, Mac n Cheese, Skinny Beans, Cheesy Hashbrowns, and Corn Bread.

*Tried to get the slaw, but it was sold out. This tells me I need to go back to try that as well.

None of the meat was dry. They were all flavorful and delicious.

The sides were all on point, nothing fell short of great!

This food had us eating long after our bellies had reached their limits due to the wanting to experience just one bite all over again.

The military has taken me all over the country, and this place is one of the top BBQ places that I've been to.

Definitely with your time, and looking forward...

I just wanted to say that a young man named Mitchell who works at the Stadium Drive location is a great representative of this organization. He promptly and pleasantly greeted me at the order counter when I walked in. I told him this was my first time here and it would take me a minute to review the menu. He asked if I wanted to know what some of the more popular items were? I said sure, and he proceeded to give me a few recommendations of what is popular at their restaurant. After a few minutes, he delivered the food to my table and said that he had tried to load up a little extra brisket so I got a good feel for the flavor and taste of their smoked meat. A Short while later he stopped by and asked again how I was enjoying the food. Then, towards the tail end of my meal he asked if he could bring me a small portion of their most popular side dish. Of course I said that would be OK. All in all, Mitchell did a great job to make my first visit to Skinny Kenny’s a great...
