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.

I've been coming here since I was a child and my parents have loved this place since forever and im very disappointed with the sides its become a nightmare the yams were slimy with no flavor as if they put syrup in them not the original flavor horrible the macaroni should be simple to make however it continues to be horrible not the original recipe not even close to being eatable they need major work ! Everything else is consistent and great but im overall concerned that whomever is making the sides does not care what so ever.

I come all the time. But should offer quarters of Chicken like breast and wing or thigh or leg. Sometimes the half is to much.

Hi, my name is Omar’m a professional chef, Smoking and barbecue was one of my favorite things to doand I never thought that I would find a barbecue place that would match to my standards in Detroit I was a chef in Denver, Colorado and I just came home about four years ago looking for a great barbecue place and I think I found it right here. Keep up the good work. I just have one question is it possible for you to put me into your baked beans If not, no big deal I was just asking. Once once again, thank you guys for a wonderful meal. I ordered it three times in a row so far and I haven’t been disappointed. Thank you so much.

Nunns food is not the same the meats still have a chance but the sides are horrible. I got rib tips they were okay a few burnt ones but the macaroni was dry no flavor it seemed kind of old gave it to the dog. I also had yams and they were burnt they looked like rib tips. I been coming here since I was a kid and today I wouldn’t recommend
Friendly customer service just don’t like that we couldn’t see behind the counter and the lobby was not inviting. Food was ok I will tell others and sure I will go back. Go early seems like they sale out of sides . But will visit and support my people.

I asked for catering for 8 people. Miss Nunn and the staff are professional and very kind. The food is one of the very best BBQ spots in Detroit. Serving Detroit for many many years . I will forever go to Nunn’s .
