Before it was a Michigan staple, the pasty was a miner’s lunch. In the 1800s, Cornish miners brought pasties with them to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. These hearty, hand-held meat pies were easy to carry underground and kept miners fueled through long workdays. Over generations, the pasty became a tradition in the UP, and today, it’s still a favorite across Michigan.

We’re bringing that tradition back for another year at Saddleback. Our brisket and chicken pasties sold out two days before pickup last year, so if you missed them, now’s your chance to get your order in.

Each pasty is made completely in-house with flaky dough, your choice of smoked brisket or chicken, diced rutabaga, carrots, onions, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic. Served with a side of rich gravy.

Available Thursday, October 29th & Friday, October 30th.

**PRE-ORDER ONLY** for pickup or delivery at REO Town or Okemos. These will not be available for walk-in orders.

Pricing:
1 for $10.99
6 for $58.99
12 for $97.99

How to order:
1. Visit https://saddlebackbbq.com/pages/saddleback-bbq-online-ordering
2. Select REO Town or Okemos.
3. Choose October 29th or 30th as your pickup or delivery date and select your time.

Two of our team members put their heads together, and we think they’ve created something you’re going to love!

As the leaves turn, we’re serving up a little fall comfort with our new Pumpkin Pie Sundae: a warm cinnamon sugar donut topped with cool pumpkin pie ice cream, a caramel drizzle, and whipped cream.

That warm donut and cold ice cream? The perfect combination.

Come give their creation a try and let us know what you think! Only at Saddleback BBQ in REO Town.

One of our biggest catering events of the season left us with a TON of burnt ends, and we need your help taking care of them.

Normally, we save up our burnt ends throughout the week and run a special every Friday and Saturday. But this time, we have way more than usual, so we’re bringing back the Burnt End Burrito while supplies last.

**OKEMOS LOCATION ONLY**

Brisket burnt ends, seasoned French fries, queso fresco, Mexican blend cheese, green onions and our sweet & savory sauce, all wrapped in a 12" tortilla for $16.99.

We also have deals if you're feeding a group:
3 for $44.99
6 for $74.99

Available only at Saddleback BBQ in Okemos and only while supplies last.

Smokin’ wings, what u got going on?

Just makin’ pickles, Rick 🥒

Our pickles are made entirely in-house with a recipe that takes an interesting new look at classic food. Rather than a condiment, Saddleback pickles are seen more as a palate cleanser, and like our cornbread is served with almost all of our dishes. Our recipe is based in vinegar with lots of sugar and salt. We also uniquely add in caraway seeds, along with cinnamon sticks, red onions and red pepper flakes, along with a few secret ingredients we can’t share. The cinnamon and red pepper flakes really get the pickles to pop, and altogether we give the customers a truly unique flavor and high-quality pickle, which is why we view them more as a treat than a side. While the perfect addition to any of our sandwiches, they taste just as good by themselves.

Just a friendly reminder—we’re working hard all weekend, and Saddleback and Slice will both be open Monday!

If you’re here and you’re hungry, we got you. Come see us! 🍕🔥
