The Yellow Window

The Yellow Window is Big Rapids' BBQ food trailer, built to move rather than sit in one spot. Smoked brisket and pulled pork anchor the menu, backed up by mac and cheese and the rest of the classic barbecue lineup. Since there's no fixed storefront, the trailer posts its weekly schedule on Facebook, so regulars know to check ahead before tracking it down around the area. Locals return for the smoked meats and the chance to catch the trailer at a different spot each week, and The Yellow Window also caters events for anyone who wants their BBQ delivered to a party or gathering rather than chased down on the road. Visitors exploring Mecosta County who want real smoked barbecue should follow their Facebook page before heading out, since location and hours shift week to week.
