Saddleback BBQ REO Town
Welcome to Saddleback BBQ REO Town, a true gem nestled in the heart of Lansing, Michigan. Located at 1147 S Washington Ave, this establishment prides itself on delivering mouthwatering barbecue dishes that resonate with both locals and visitors alike. With a phone number of +1 517-253-7556, reaching out for inquiries or reservations is just a call away.
The heart of Saddleback BBQ lies in its expertly smoked meats. Patrons rave about the BBQ ribs and brisket, both of which are prepared with a perfect blend of seasonings and rubs, resulting in that sought-after balance of smokiness and flavor. Customer Ray Terwilliger highlights, "I've been to all the BBQ places in the Lansing area and Saddleback stands above them all. The service is impeccable, very friendly staff." It’s clear that the restaurant not only excels in food but also in creating a welcoming atmosphere.
However, it’s important to mention that some sides have received a mixed reception. While dishes like the mac and cheese have their favorites, others have found the flavor to be a touch bland. Yet, when you pair your choice of meat with the baked beans or fries, satisfaction tends to follow. Owen Thompson notes, "The sliced brisket had great bark, texture, and taste while the pulled pork was done to perfection," emphasizing the star of the show—the meats.
Beyond the regular menu, Saddleback also excels in catering, providing a polished experience for events. Rachael Abood’s experience with their catering services is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. "They knocked it out of the park!" she exclaimed, especially praising the unique brisket carving station they offered at her event.

“ The meats are good. My sides were a bit lack luster. The mac was bland and coleslaw was fresh but basic. The fries were enjoyable but not my side ... ”
“ I've been to all the BBQ places in the Lansing area and Saddleback stands above them all. The service is impeccable, very friendly staff. The BBQ ribs and brisket are smoked just right along with the seasonings/rub. Took my daughter's there today and we had a fantastic time sitting outside in the sun. Also I should add, the bathroom is modern and super clean. Something I can be picky about when reviewing a restaurant. I recommend to all who are looking for good BBQ at a fair price. ”
“ Great food, as always. Employees were friendly and helpful. ”
“ We used Saddleback BQQ to cater a business luncheon and they knocked it out of the park! The catering manager was very responsive and attentive to our needs from start to finish. And I appreciated they were willing to try out our request of a brisket carving station. Fast-forward to the luncheon and their team executed a very polished, professional buffet--- slicing the brisket to order was such a unique experience! 10/10 recommend their catering services! ”
“ The Saddleback REO Town spot is such a gem. A great 2 meat plate with superb sides. The sliced brisket had great bark, texture, and taste while the pulled pork was done to perfection. The (pork) baked beans could be a meal on their own! The mac and cheese never misses and I appreciate that they don’t go with the same pasta style everywhere else uses. ”
“ Delicious BBQ, portions were very large and the meals came out quickly! It was nice to be able to sit out front at the picnic tables while eating. Brisket with tender and had a great smoky favor, sauce was not needed! ”
