Kretzschy's Smokey BBQ — Restaurant in Sebewaing Township

This place was okay. The food that I ordered was a little underwhelming though for a top (google) rated bbq joint.

First off, I must say that the decor in the building is very neat. The themed paintings on the walls really set a good vibe. Also, I like the layout of the building. It's perfect for carryout, but there are spots to sit and eat in a large room.

As for food, I asked them what the highlight of the menu was and they basically said that it was all good, which honestly tells me that they don't have a go-to item that makes them stick out. Not a big deal, but kind of a yellow flag.

They then proceeded to say that their hamburger was one of their most popular items. And I'm sorry, but I don't do hamburgers at a BBQ joint. I would have found a local bar and grill if I wanted that. They then said that their brisket fries were a top item with their signature sauses; crack and blueberry. So while I didn't particularly want fries, I did see it tagged on the reviews and it would also give me a chance to try some of their BBQ meat (not a hamburger).

So I get my order in a large container and it appeared to be quite a large portion. But I really wouldn't say that they hook you up on the brisket.

That being said, the brisket was pretty average. Not a lot of flavor and a little too soft. Also, the brisket was too thinly spread on the fries. They were small chunks and it was boardline shredded. It seemed as if the sauces on the fries were kind of the big draw for this item as the fries just seemed smothered in them. As far as the flavor of the sauces, the white crack sause was pretty good. The blueberry sause was a little too overpowering. It had a very tangy taste with some sweetness to it. It was almost like a teriyaki.

There were also too many fries. I ate all of the brisket and threw the rest of the fries out. Don't know if thats worth bringing up but it kind of gives you the perspective.

Overall, despite the nitpicking, this place wasn't bad. Can't say I'd ever be back but there is a certain draw. It seems like this place does really well with the locals in the area. Really, the best part of this experience was the atmosphere and the white...

Decided to try out some cheeseburgers and fries -- we have had the BBQ before and it was decent. The pulled pork was good and the brisket a bit salty. However, today we were in the mood for 'smoked' burgers. They were no frill and perhaps had cooled off too much by the time we got home (this place does offer a few tables but seems to be all about take-out). The good: burgers. They had a nice smokey flavor and did not disappoint. Also: the BBQ sauces are fun and varied. The not-bad: the loaded fries. We picked 'pulled pork' loaded and they were rich and mostly satisfying. The bad: the fries. Fries need to be crispy and these fries were soggy and limp. Some people might find that palatable: I am not one of them. Perhaps they were crisp in the beginning. I appreciate Kretzschy's Smokey BBQ as an option in Sebewaing. Stick...

To start, I would say that Kretchkys has the best food in town. Everything is always packed with flavor. The reason that I'm giving it 3 stars is mainly a constancy issue. For example, today I got a swamp burger and it's was delicious. However, the burger was extremely dry. After finishing my wife tells me that she saw one of the employees microwave it, which is kind of a restaurant nono. It is completely possible to have a moist smoked hamburger. I know this because I have gotten one from Kretchkys before. I'll update my stars next time I go. I know the owner takes feed back very well, so maybe this is something they...
