"From beginning to end, Saddleback was a pleasure to work with. The whole planning process was seamless ( besides dealing with the pandemic) Nick and Brynn went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. For that, I can’t thank Saddleback enough. After many changed plans, Saddleback was the only original vendor we booked before COVID. I believe this is due to the wonderful staff! I knew the food would be fabulous and that was one thing I didn’t have to worry about on our day. The people, Saddleback’s people are what made everything that much better! I want to thank everyone at Saddleback who helped with our event. We got nothing but compliments and you were a part of that. Thanks for being part of our team."

Desserts are Ready to serve.

Here at Saddleback, we prefer baby back ribs with a little bite to them.  We think baby backs provide a better flavor with more meat and less fat, and this taste is only enhanced by our pork rub, which brings out both Texas and Carolina flavors. We start by smoking the ribs bone-down for 4-6 hours before flipping for another 2 hours.  At this point, the bone barely pops away, giving the rib a consistency that won’t fall apart on the customer and will be easy to eat. We serve them standalone in half or full racks, but have also used them on our special Saddleback rib-sandwich.  Hoping to make its return in the near future, our rib sandwich comes in full (6 bones) and half (3-4 bones) sizes, is smothered with our sweet and savory sauce and topped with our housemade pickles on a hoagie bun.

While most places will give you a sweet potato as fries or twice baked, Saddleback gives its customers a mashed sweet potato. We start by cooking down raw sweets before baking and pulling them, then mixing in brown sugar and margarine.  While this is happening, we reduce vernors down to a caramelized syrup, add in brown sugar, cloves, and ginger before mixing it together with the sweet potatoes. An already wonderfully tasting flavor is supplemented with crispy sweet straws, which we make by slicing up a whole sweet potato into spaghetti-like pieces, fried to a bright orange and seasoned with sugar, cinnamon, and keyane. Consistent with a sweet potato pie, this is a wonderful fall and winter dish that adds unique flavors to a classic side dish.

Saddleback does its pulled chicken a lot differently than most barbeque restaurants. Most places you go to will smoke a whole chicken, or separate it out into thighs or breasts, and smoke it with the bone-out and add no seasonings.  Here at Saddleback, we give our customers chicken straight from the source.  We start with all-dark-meat leg and thigh quarters, and put them on the smoker for 4 hours with the bone in and skin on.  We believe this process helps hold in the moisture and juices that give the pulled chicken a truly fresh flavor with great coloring. 

Poutine has strong roots in Canada, and we tried to put a barbeque spin on it here at Saddleback. We had the idea for poutine because we were wasting all of our pork and chicken bones, and wanted to put them into something that customers would love.  When making poutine, the gravy is the piece that ties the rest of the dish together.  We start with a roux of flour and margarine, then add in some chicken and pork stock.  Next, we will take our chicken and pork bones and boil them together with carrots, celery, onions and garlic to make a smoky tasting gravy.  This gravy goes on top of our seasoned fries, cheese curds, and smoked meat, and the dish is finished with green onions and a little of our pork rub. 

People who have lived in the Lansing area know about QDs french onion dip, and our owners grew up with the dish and loved it.  When Saddleback opened it’s Okemos location, the owners decided they wanted to bring a QD-style french onion dip to saddleback, and we strived to make a recipe that compared and succeeded.  In fact, this is another one of those Okemos sides that we tried to implement with the grand opening, and it has survived since due to its popularity.  The freshness, coolness and creaminess of the dip pairs perfectly with the spiciness of our housemade chips. With a great onion and garlic flavor, our french onion dip and chips make the perfect starter or side to any of our main courses.

Similar to brisket, traditional pulled pork is generally categorized as either a more spicy, Texas style or a sweet, Carolina style.  Here at Saddleback, we try to give you pulled pork that falls somewhere in between the two. Saddleback Matt created our pork rub recipe which brings out the best of both Texas and Carolina flavors which we continue to use today.  We use whole pork shoulders which are rubbed fully, smoked for 12-16 hours with locally sourced hardwoods, and then set to rest before we wrap them. We don’t trim any of our pork, and take it straight from the source and pull it for the customer in store.
