Community Mourns As Local Barbecue Spot Prepares To Close

The weekend after Thanksgiving, for the TNT Little Brothers' barbecue family, will be spent saying goodbye to the Kalamazoo community that they observed for many years.

In a very brief and abrupt announcement made on Facebook. They announced that November 29 would be their last day opening their doors in Michigan, possibly suggesting they plan on moving and opening in another state or closing down permanently.

This most likely has to do with the fact that earlier this year, one of the founders of Lil Brothers' Barbecue, Terrence, affectionately known as "Big T" passed away.

I am going to miss y’all so much thank you for you all service over the years for kazoo love y’all and pray for success and great opportunities for y’all on your new adventures

His funeral was held in Benton Harbor on May 10 and ever since then, the family has done its best to provide their amazing take on soul food for Kalamazoo.

Man I am going to miss you guys. This is our last holiday being fed by the great TNT. Thank you guys for all the wonderful years and I will see you guys next year when I'm back in city visiting for the holidays. Don't change the phone number.

Sadly, it seems that it’s coming to an end and there are many people in the city who are feeling the loss of the staple barbecue place. Little Brothers was definitely one of the best barbecue places in the city, and it will definitely be missed.

Best brisket anywhere. Great family business. Thanks for your many years serving this community & my family. You all are appreciated & will be deeply missed.
