Blue Tractor BBQ & Brewery

First time and while I enjoyed it I have had better BBQ. The brisket was good but the turkey was dry and not good. The cornbread was average. The BBQ chips were good and better then the fries. The waffle fries were above average but mashed potatoes we below average. The normal BBQ sauce was good but the vinegar based was very thin. I would try again and would like to try the ribs.

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.

Best brewery in Ann Arbor. New craft beers are added to the drink menu constantly and food is amazing! Blue Tractor, if you’re reading this, please bring the cauliflower Starter back! My favorite place in Ann Arbor, a must visit stop even if you’re driving by.

Holy macaroni this grub is the bees knees. Very delicious, competitive pricing for down town Ann Arbor, and a fine selection of food and drinks. I would recommend this for carnivores but there are also vegetarian and pescatarian options.

Great place.our host Sophia was great in going through the drinks and food different options Great craft beers if you are into trying new things. I suggest getting a flight of their locally brewed beer.

Honestly terrible bbq. The brisket was old and dried out atleast a couple days old. The ribs were hard and chewy and came as a slab instead of cut into bones. The Mac and cheese was just boiled noodles with minimal cheese or butter. Nothing was fresh. Good service.

I was in town for the Big Ten Wrestling Championships and stopped in here and this place is definitely a must stop! I didn’t eat but the beer was awesome! I got the Bearded Pig Cream Ale. So good! They also have a lot of merchandise available to purchase! Definitely make this a stop when you are in Ann Arbor!!!

Smells so good right when you walk in, the beer is fantastic, I'm about to try the food. Everything that is being brought out of the kitchen looks and smells amazing! The pulled beef sandwich is totally worth coming back for, I want more. Came back for more, got the smoked sausage and it is delicious! Really good food and more good service.
