BBQ in Jackson, MI is a treat that drives a mean craving in folks to go out and hunt for the best suppliers of the tender bits of pork — smoked, grilled, shredded, or diced. While the South may be world-famous for its succulent barbecue, that doesn’t mean the Great Lake State doesn’t have some incredible barbecue places near me. There is one city in the state with three excellent restaurants you can’t miss. To find the best BBQ in the Mitten State, head to Jackson, Michigan.
At the top of the list is this Jackson, Michigan BBQ joint which is home to the authentic southern style. If you’re looking for a laid-back restaurant with mouth-watering eats, 26 beers on tap, and TVs to watch your favorite sports teams, you’ll love this place.
Rocky Top Beer BBQ uses its Ole Hickory Pit Smoker to give its BBQ an authentic southern taste using cherry and hickory wood.

This drive-thru BBQ restaurant serves up smokey turkey legs and pulled pork that’s bursting with flavor. Everything is homemade just the way Larry, the owner, learned from his Mom.
