Blackstone's Smokehouse - Flint

I was there for lunch today 7/12 great salads!! The waitress was phenomenal!!! Very kind sweet and gave outstanding service! Sorry I don’t remember your name! Enjoyable lunch!!! Thank you!! ?

Awesome food and friendly staff. Don't let the road construction stop you from going here!

The place is beautiful, and don't get me started on the food. Everything is house smoked, and very delicious. If you get an appetizer, make sure to get the loaded fries, and Mac and cheese.

Beautiful restaurant. Service was spot on. The food was very good. Will go back again.

Sadly writing this review in hopes they see it and do better. I've eaten here many times, always dinner or later. It's my go to downtown, we'll was. The service has always been subpar but the food made up for it. Visited this last weekend during allyfest. Not busy at all when we got there at 7, a little more when we left but very manageable. My issues started when we requested to sit outside. There wasn't a table available at the moment but I asked if we could move when one opened. Hostess said it would be up to the server. I would have waited but ended up being seated as far from outside as possible next to the stage. Within 2 minutes a table was available and I asked the waiter to move. He had to confirm it with the hostess but we were able to move. We ordered 2 appetizers plus meals and I got an additional salad. All of our food came out at the same time so as we ate starters are dinner sat there. I got ribs and although the flavor was good and they were tender, they were nowhere near fall off the bone and very very dry. It was obvious when looking at them from the side and Moreno when eating them. I asked for extra napkins (ribs ya'know) and after more than 5 minutes and watching our waiter complete other tasks such as bar stock, I went in and asked again as well as having him fill my water (my only drink) which was empty when I asked for the napkins. Again, I've never been impressed with the service at Blackstones but dealt with it for the food. Cold, dry food will not get me back. Additionally, the menu price for a full rack was $27 however we were charged $29. I'm sure prices have increased but that should have been communicated. Lastly, don't order the overpriced BBQ deviled eggs, there is nothing special or BBQ about them, just deviled eggs. To be fair, the description explains them that way we just assumed they would be more.
