What We Ate
When deciding what to order, we left it up to our waitress and Blue Tractor’s manager to pick out our meal. We got a complete spread of all of their bestsellers. For appetizers, we started off with the buffalo cauliflower, loaded pork waffle fries, smoked chicken legs, and caprese sliders. Every appetizer was amazing but the loaded pork waffle fries were definitely a fan favorite. Along with our appetizers, our 21+ members tried out Blue Tractor BBQ and Brewery’s craft beers. After a filling appetizer course, we moved on to even more entrees. We all tried their BBQ platter with brisket, pulled pork, BBQ ribs, beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread. We also had the smoked turkey sandwich, triple bean burger, ancho fish po boy, and the chicken dinner. While every thing was amazing, the mac and cheese and pulled pork kept me coming back for more. At this point in our meal, we were full but dessert is always a must. We split their cookie sundae, which was a perfect way to end an extravagant meal.
The Brewery:
Within Blue Tractor’s Ann Arbor location is an award-winning brewery. Currently on tap for Blue Tractor is a wheat beer, IPA, and ESB. Pick up one of their growlers for fresh beer featuring local ingredients that follow current trends and also classic styles.
