Motown Nates

Wow, this place is awesome. They have a smoker going right out on the street. Its nice the owner is from Detroit, as I am from Windsor, its like a friendly face up here in the north. Although everyone is friendly up here! They have amazing smoked brisket and pulled pork. The gyro meat is frozen, its meh. The BBQ black bean rice bowl is fantastic! Have fun eating in the tipi! Peace, Love & Music.

I love hole in the wall places and this definitely checked all the boxes. It was cheap and delicious. My only critique was the street tacos could have used a little more seasoning, but all in all, they made up for it with a top notch onion ring.

Ignore the lot and neighborhood. The food here is well beyond the atmosphere. The food was spectacular. Ribbon fries were absolutely off the charts. The smoked meats were flavorful and juicy. The portions were perfect.

Had dinner here as out of town visitors and it was amazing!! We got a brisket sandwich, fries, and a barbeque chicken rice bowl; the ingredients were very fresh and the meat was cooked to perfection. Service was very quick, and employees were very kind and helpful. Lots of great outdoor seating as well!! Could not recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a delicious, quick, hospitable meal!!

My first time stopping here. My wife and I both ordered BBQ brisket sandwiches and all I can say is "Yeah, man!" The meat was as good as any I've had across the country with the added bonus that the bun it was served in was excellent. A side order of homemade potato chips is included.
Their menu is extensive and I'll try hard to sample something else the next time. No promises, though.

Motown Mondays ! Don’t think just put your order in and you won’t regret it.

I only did an order for pickup but the people working were very kind and quick to get my order. Poutine was still hot even when I got it home, tasted great!! :)

We caught this gem by accident on our way back home from visiting the soo. It’s super cute and the atmosphere is amazing. Food was the best we had our entire week long vacation in the upper peninsula. Truly a gem! If you can visit this little restaurant I’d highly recommend it.

Tried the Texas style loaded fries. The brisket was so tender and juicy. Can't go wrong with the hand cut fries and fresh squeezed lemonade 🤌

This place had some delicious pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich and my son had two small hamburgers overall pretty tasty and very generous size portions also have juarittos soft drinks . Yummy place

Always the best food in Sault Ste Marie! Have not had a bad experience in the 20+times eating here. It's a must stop. Smoothies are worth every penny.

This is like the food trucks of NY/NJ, but with an awesome Native American spin. First time eating in a teepee. Best thing I’ve ever done in SSM

Great burgers. Fries are good if you like thick cut and waffle fries they are a merging of the two. Chili fries got soggy quick but dipping the crispy parts in the chili was amazing. Only tweak I would make is ordering the chili on the side for the chili fries that would make it perfection.

Great barbecue with great flavor.
I have my own Texas Barbecue restaurant in Canada, and I still always hit Nate’s for lunch when I am in the Soo.

Got the Big Breakfast Sandwich. Oh Man! So messy, but So tasty! And the homemade fries!! 🤤🥰 Glad they're open again for the summer! Will be back.

Wow! I didn’t think I was ordering the was the best meatball sub I’ve ever had. From NYC, Chicago to California. This sub is #1! The right ratio of cheese to sauce to meat to bread. The bread was toasted and garlic buttered up. The basil on top was a perfect addition. There are picnic tables under a tent and parking along the street. Can’t wait to stop by again!

Out door Dinning. FOOD was Excellent. Teepee style picnic seats. I will be here again.

Best bbq hands down I've had in Michigan!! Barbacoa tacos were juicy, flavorful and tender!!! Melted in your mouth!!!

If you enjoy great bbq then this is it. Hands down some of the best in michigan definitely in the area. Everything fresh and flavor packed.

Stopped here for breakfast because it smelled so good. Very very tasty food! We will be back!
