Summit Smokehouse & Taproom - Mount Pleasant, Michigan

Summit’s ranch is solid and satisfying, with a dreamy medium consistency and a decent flavor that just left me wishing for more. The “spicy” version leans smoky, not hot. Both are worth trying, but for me, the regular still holds the crown. Runner-Up for now, but definitely still a ramekin I’d welcome back to the table.

RANCH REVIEWMICHIGAN BASEDRUNNER-UPDRESSING APPROVED!

This one had me excited, and honestly? It delivered in a lot of ways. The ranch here is really good, like, we’re already working with solid fundamentals. The consistency is basically Goldilocks status: not too thick, not too thin, just that perfect middle ground that clings to a nugget without smothering it.

Flavor-wise, it’s definitely good. I just wanted more. It’s like watching a movie that’s beautifully shot with a great cast, but you’re still waiting for that big, memorable scene. I kept dipping, waiting for that flavor to fully show up and give me the moment, but it never quite hit full volume.

Now, they also offer a “spicy” version, but it’s not spicy. It’s more of a Southwest smoky situation, and if you’ve ever had something with adobo or chipotle vibes, you’ll know exactly the flavor lane this one lives in. Honestly, it was a good time. I liked it. But next time? I’m going straight for the OG. I recommend with confidence.
