32 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Detroit

“Haven't been in a while since I moved out the neighborhood. But food was always great, service above reproach, prices were reasonable and great menu selections. Owners and staff were always friendly and appreciative. I could go for a full slab rib dinner or smothered pork chop dinner. With collard greens, Mac n cheese, cornbread and a large kool-aid mixed.“

“went for my sons birthday and had a wonderful dinner. From the staff to the drinks and the food everything was great.“

“My food was on fire when I got it and it was excellent I really enjoyed it !!!“

“My friend and I had lunch at Coriander Kitchen and Farm yesterday 6/23. We came back because we enjoyed our first visit last year so much! However, at this visit the food was not so good. I ordered fish and chips and my fish was overcooked and the french fries were not hot. My friend ordered smelt which were awful and greasy which we sent back. We asked for lemon which never came to the table and our waiter seem to be the only one there and they were busy so I don't think we got the attention that we were due. I know this establishment can do better, so I will be going back. But yesterday's service and food were awful.“

“They serve lunch at our hospital and the brisket is to die for! Sauce has an amazing kick of sweet and savory in every bite. Definitely recommend.“

“Excellent service and excellent food ?“

“The BBQ wings are so good! A bit dry but the seasoning definitely makes up for it. The sides are bomb too, great Mac and cheese, yams, and baked beans. The greens are flavorful but a tad bit on the salty side. The banana pudding is delicious too. Definitely going back!“

“This spot is the deal went yesterday n came back to food is good seasoning is on point the greens is fire the bake beans better 😘“

“We have driven from Saginaw 2 hours away for the last five years to eat these authentic tacos and other Mexican delicacies. They are authentic and amazing. Totally delicious and a must try if you want real Mexican food.“

“Great food! Been here many times, and always have a good experience. However, they charged gratuity on a party of 4, so be careful. I tipped on top of their 16% added into my bill. Waitress of course didn’t mention the added cost and I didn’t notice until after the fact. Seemed odd for such a small party, but feel they should warn us while paying“

“My daughter and I stopped by Smokey G’s Smokehouse while we were out riding bikes, and they definitely did not disappoint! We shared a platter, and everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We also had the chance of running into the owner, Greg, who was so welcoming and made the experience even better. Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. We’ll definitely be back, gotta try the salmon next time!!!“

“Detroit soul is possibly the best meal from start to finish I've had in years. Walking in you notice how delicious everything smells, how clean everything is and how friendly everyone who works here is. The food is top notch. The breadding on the catfish fritters made my mouth water, the greens made me want to write home, the mac and cheese was perfectly cooked and the meatloaf was so tender and tasty. Then the dessert! Peach cobbler that made me make obscene noises, the creamy vanilla scoop and the amazing red pop sorbet were bursting with flavorful perfection. I highly recommend going here and trying everything.“

“My first time trying this restaurant. It was pretty good. I had the beef ribs and chicken dinner. The ribs and Potato salad, were delicious. The sauce is fire. The chicken was a little light skin, but it was done all the way through. The greens and mac and cheese needed a little more seasoning, but over all it was good. I'll be returning.“

“A group of about 10 of us stopped in on a Monday for happy hour - there was a nice crowd, music was playing, sparsely decorated. They have a great patio right on Woodward which is why we came, but it ended up raining. Although only one bartender was working, cocktails came out fast and tasted fresh and good. They have an interesting n/a mocktail made with homemade cordial and soda - I didn't try it this time, but it's good to know they have an option other than soda and lime. The aperol spritz looked good as did the spicy margarita. A good place to catch a quick drink.

They have an interesting food menu - sushi during the day and late night, and bbq for dinner. Maybe a little odd, but I remember when this place was Oslo and had the best sushi, so maybe it makes sense? I'll have to come back to try the food. Everyone working has also been really friendly, so I'd come back. An excellent location if you work downtown.“

“great place to eat the hospitality was good the food was on time hot I'll be back“

“my mother has went here since the age of 16. she is now 53 and it's the best rib sauce ever“

“All the way from Indy we love y’all! I’ve visited plenty of times and brought one of my daughters this time! She agrees this menu beats all the bbq in Indy. She especially enjoyed the staff! She will be back for the ribs mac n cheese yams and greens and to try something else on the menu! Thank you“

“Came from Ohio to get nails done and went to the location on grand River. When I say the customer service was amazing!! Food was amazing!! I’ll definitely be returning real soon!! Thank you guys again for treating and feeding me GOOD!!! My fav bbq spot in Detroit hands down!!! Go check the out you want be disappointed!!“

“I grew up around the corner from here and it’s BEEN THE ONLY Chinese I will get… idc how far I am. This is the best authentic Chinese with REAL CHICKEN… not that soggy dark meat stuff. 🤣😩 GREAT portions it last for at least two days or share“

“A tmi review but genuinely the service was amazing. Worst day i had, ordered a small cheese with pepperoni pizza with cajun crust (very good, gently crisp crusts and just enough cajun so 10/10) and a 2L of soda through Uber Eats, Didnt get the soda i wanted , they were out & i guess the uber guy disregarded my note on what to replace it with. I called, even though slightly tense (sorry) the guy was super kind over phone, apparently this Happys Pizza is closer than i thought so i walked to get it replaced and still was super kind, even offered a pie slice. On the verge of tears on xmas eve with the worst day but the service was so kind, and the pizza was good and good service needs to be acknowledged and appreciated so 10/10.“

“Amazing place to eat my kay n e make the best orders“

“Great pricing, great food, and fast delivery. Will be using them again! Thank you guys!!“

“Always yummy and delicious“

“I grew up on BBQ cooked over charcoal, which is quite different than the smoked ribs i usually encounter. Yes, cooking over charcoal does sometimes create that bark on one side of the meat but i love it. This place has had me in a chokehold for the past month, with me driving 30 mins each way to eat. I love it. I am a large end kind of guy and this place is the best i've had with only Vicky's coming in second. Once, the ribs were fatty but i doin't care. Every other time, they were delicious.

Regarding the sides... This is where most BBQ joints struggle. The Coleslaw and potato salad are either off a Sysco truck or similar to Kroger prepared food. The green beans kind of remind me of the green beans you'd get if the church had a bbq dinner sale... not bad. The baked beans... not the best. When i order, i usually have some macaroni made at home and i always have a bag of cooked greens in the freezer. I live solo so i will make food, freeze it and have it along side their meat. I did not like the greens there but the potato salad and slaw, for what it is; unless you're going to be making it... boiling and peeling potatoes...dicing celery and belle pepper, this works :)

I love this place AND the girls working are always EXTREMEMLY friendly. I always tip them- even though they never seem to expect it. I love this place and pray they never change.“

“Ok so I called and Tianna answered with the best customer service anybody could ask for ver good communication and that's hard to come by in the past food business anymore 10 out of 10 recommend and If yall haven't tried it yet get that lasagna 🙃 it's amazing.“

“The portions are generous, prices are more than fair, and the staff were very friendly and professional. Most importantly, this is the cleanest restaurant and bathroom that I’ve ever been to!!! My family and I will definitely be returning!!!“

“Great atmosphere in the rooftop. Heaters and blankets if you need them and aaaaaahhhmazing craft cocktails.“

“The food was damn good and well worth the price I will be checking this place out again the ghetto Burger was good it really didn't stand out from any other Burger but it was still good the cheesecake dessert was the only thing I did not like and honestly it didn't even taste like cheesecake was more like Frozen cake so I'll pass on the dessert but everything else that I had was damn good.“

“"I LOVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH I'M TRYING TO WATCH WHAT I EAT & LOOSE SOME WEIGHT @ THE SAME TIME!!“

“2 weeks ago, me and my brother ate bruch here, and it was really good. The music was right, our waitress was friendly and the building is a very large loft space. We enjoyed it alot!!!“

“Theirs not to many places around the city that offer a good, hardy and delicious New Orlean style seafood gumbo but, I happened to be driving around on the westside and was hungry and decided to give a new place I'd heard about from a friend. The spot is called "Dem Noles Bois"...It's been awhile since I had a good gumbo. I've got to tell you, to my surprise, this was the best gumbo that I’ve had in years definitely five stars. I definitely will be back again...I want to try the BBQ Ribs, the fried chicken wings, and for sure, the fried shrimp dinner. P.s., the Banana Pudding was on point“
