Hot honey has quickly gone from a niche ingredient to a staple in kitchens and restaurants everywhere. At its core, it’s a simple idea: honey infused with chili peppers. That blend of sweet and heat makes it versatile, whether you’re drizzling it over fried chicken, biscuits, or in our case, pizza.

So why does it work so well on pizza? Pizza is rich and savory by nature, with melty cheese and hearty toppings. Adding hot honey cuts through that richness. The sweetness complements the saltiness of the cheese, and the subtle spice adds just enough kick to keep each bite interesting. It transforms a classic slice into something new without losing the flavors people already love.

Hot honey isn’t just a trend. It’s becoming a pantry staple. It looks great, tastes even better, and works across food styles. That’s why we wanted to bring it into our kitchen. A drizzle of hot honey on pizza makes a familiar favorite stand out, and we think once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s become such a hit.

What’s in the Saddleback BBQ Burnt End Burrito?

The Burnt End Burrito is one of our most requested specials — and for good reason. This burrito combines a bold mix of flavors and textures that highlight the best of what we do.

Here’s what’s inside: 

• Brisket Burnt Ends – rich, smoky, and caramelized

• Seasoned Beer-Battered Fries – crispy and flavorful

• Queso Fresco – adds a light, tangy contrast

• Three-Cheese Blend – for gooey, melty goodness

• Green Onions – fresh and sharp

• Saddleback’s Signature BBQ Sauce – sweet, savory, and house-made

All wrapped in a warm 12-inch tortilla, it’s a handheld version of a BBQ platter, designed for maximum flavor in every bite.

The Burnt End Burrito returns to the menu periodically as a limited-time offering at both Saddleback BBQ locations. To catch it when it's available, keep an eye on Saddleback’s social media or check the online ordering menu.

Ice Cream in REO Town

Something sweet just came to REO Town. For the first time ever, we’re serving hand-scooped ice cream at Saddleback BBQ. It’s been a big change for us, and it all started with a simple question: what else can we offer the neighborhood we love?

Why Ice Cream?

REO Town is where our journey began. It’s always been more than just a location. It’s a community. As we looked around, we realized there was something missing. Families were walking by after dinner, couples were out enjoying the neighborhood, and there wasn’t a local spot to grab a scoop of ice cream. So we decided to change that.

We saw a chance to bring something fun, family-friendly, and high-quality to the area. Ice cream felt like the perfect fit.

How We Did It

This wasn’t a quick change. We temporarily closed our REO Town location to renovate the space and create room for a full-service ice cream counter. We brought in new equipment, updated the layout, and trained our team to serve ice cream the right way.

We partnered with MOO-ville Creamery, a family-owned Michigan dairy known for its rich, high-butterfat ice cream made with real ingredients. Choosing a local partner that values quality and community was important to us.

What’s New

You’ll still find all your BBQ favorites at Saddleback. The kitchen is open from 11 AM to 7 PM every day. But now, from 11 AM to 9 PM, you can also stop by for ice cream.

We’re serving 12 flavors of MOO-ville Ice Cream, including:

• Blue Moon

• Butter Pecan

• Chocolate Blue Ribbon

• Chocolate Moose Tracks

• Cookie Dough

• Mackinaw Island Fudge

• Mint Chip

• Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

• Sea Monster

• Sorta Sweet Sorta Beth Dutton

• Supercow

• Vanilla

You can order in a cup or cone, grab a scoop after dinner, or make it the main reason for your visit. It’s a great new option for families, date nights, or anyone strolling through the neighborhood.

A Sweet Addition to the Neighborhood

This is one of the biggest changes we’ve made to our REO Town location, and we couldn’t be happier with the response so far. Thank you to everyone who has stopped in, shared kind words, and made ice cream a part of your summer with us.

We’re proud to keep evolving in ways that serve our community better. Come see what’s new and treat yourself to a scoop.

Family-Owned, Michigan-Made, and Full of Flavor

We’re proud to serve MOO-ville Creamery ice cream at Saddleback BBQ in REO Town. If you’ve had a scoop, you already know it’s not your average ice cream. But what makes it so good? It starts with where it comes from.

A Michigan Family Farm

MOO-ville Creamery is a family-owned and operated dairy farm in Nashville, Michigan. The Westendorp family has been farming since 1916, and they take pride in doing things the right way. No shortcuts, no compromise on quality. They milk around 200 cows with a focus on humane care, cleanliness, and consistency.

What sets MOO-ville apart is that they process and package their own milk on-site. That means the milk in every scoop of their ice cream comes straight from their own cows. It doesn’t get fresher or more local than that.

What Makes MOO-ville Ice Cream So Good?

It comes down to butterfat. That’s the key ingredient that gives ice cream its rich, creamy texture and bold flavor. MOO-ville uses a higher butterfat content than most commercial brands, which means their ice cream is incredibly smooth, creamy, and indulgent.

They also avoid artificial fillers or stabilizers. Every batch is made with real ingredients, mixed with care, and packed with flavor.

The Flavors We're Serving

At Saddleback BBQ in REO Town, we’re currently offering many hand-scooped flavors of MOO-ville Ice Cream:

• Blue Moon
• Butter Pecan
• Chocolate Blue Ribbon
• Chocolate Moose Tracks
• Cookie Dough
• Mackinaw Island Fudge
• Mint Chip
• Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
• Sea Monster
• Sorta Sweet Sorta Beth Dutton
• S'Mores
• John Deere Tracks
• Supercow
• Vanilla

Whether you're here for BBQ or just stopping in for dessert, MOO-ville is the perfect way to finish off your visit.

Why We Chose MOO-ville

At Saddleback, we care about where our ingredients come from. We work hard to support Michigan-based producers who value quality and community. MOO-ville shares those values, and that’s why their ice cream was the perfect fit for REO Town.

Come try a scoop or two and taste the difference real, farm-fresh ice cream makes.

Thank You, West Lansing ❤️

After years of serving pizza in West Lansing, our lease has come to an end. We made the difficult decision not to renew. Our final day of service at this location was Saturday, May 24.

This decision was not made lightly. The past two years have been especially challenging for the restaurant industry. Like many small businesses, we spent time reflecting on how to build a stronger, more sustainable future. Ultimately, we realized that consolidating operations would allow us to focus more energy and resources on the locations and projects that provide the most value for our guests and team.

Closing West Lansing Slice gives us the opportunity to invest more deeply in our other locations, improve operations, and pursue exciting new initiatives across the Saddleback Restaurant Group. One major step in that direction was the recent addition of Coach’s Pub & Grill, which opens new possibilities for growth.

Every team member from the West Lansing location has transitioned to our South Lansing Slice location, so you will continue to see the same great food and familiar faces. All gift cards and loyalty points remain valid at South Lansing Slice and all other Saddleback Restaurant Group locations.

We are incredibly grateful to the West Lansing community. Thank you for the years of support, the feedback, and the memories. We hope to continue serving you at one of our other nearby locations.
