I have a new favorite place to by my meat in Kalamazoo, well Portage actually but close enough. That place is Barrett’s Smokehouse. Everything that I have bought from there has been amazing. Earlier this summer I bought 4 different varieties of brats for a camping trip. All of our friends were amazed at how good it was. I buy their cheddar bacon burgers that store in the freezer, excellent for the grill. Their bacon and breakfast sausage are excellent.I also buy marinated chicken breasts and even our fresh Thanksgiving turkey from Barrett’s as well. One of my favorite items is their cheese. We love their jalapeno cheddar spread. Barrett’s also is a great place for lunch too. I go there fairly often for take out. I think my favorite items are their brisket or their smoked chicken salad sandwich.

Here is a look at their take out menu on the right. Today I got the brisket meal. The meat is flavorful and tender. It comes with a horseradish sauce on the side too. On the side it comes with a crisp coleslaw and backed beans with sausage. It’s a hearty meal that is a great change of pace from other restaurants in the area.
People loved their pulled pork too, but I’m not big on pulled pork in general so I don’t order it often. Their smoked chicken salad sandwich may be my favorite. The smoked chicken really stands out. By far the best chicken salad that I have ever had.
I highly recommend visiting Barrett’s Smoke House. Go their and pickup some of their great smoked meats to go. Be sure to also pick up a take out meal and check out all of their great side dishes that they have in the cooler too.
