The barbecue is absolutely excellent! Meaty ribs, meat falling off the bone, outstanding chicken, DELICIOUS sauce!

The Rib tips tasted like freezer and were missing BBQ sauce.
They ran out of green beans instead of telling us, they didn't add it to my order.
Called three times and three different times, they let the phone ring about ten times, then hung up.
They fixed the order but it said they we can't patronize with one another without receiving bad customer service.

Terrible experience my god please please please don’t go there please 🙏 terrible overall experience from food cleanliness and quality of food very bad
With a boat load of soulfood restaurants around, this is probably on the low end of choices.

I don’t even know where to start but let’s talk about this wing. Feathers still on it. Hair pokin’ through the skin. Why am I pulling quills off my food like I’m plucking a bird on a farm?
Then I thought maybe the sides would save the plate. The mac and cheese was an afterthought bland, watery, and clearly made with zero love. The collard greens? A soggy mess. No seasoning, no depth, just boiled leaves that tasted like tap water and disappointment.
This meal was a waste of money and mouth space. Detroit has way too many solid food spots for this kind of culinary disrespect.
The only thing “Uptown” about this place is the price because the quality was somewhere deep in the basement.

Good food not fast food. You will probably wait about 15 minutes while your food is prepared. The staff is friendly

Today 6-28-25 I bought a large end dinner as usual. I received the last 2 large end bones & 3 small end bones (not edible no meat). So disappointed.

Here we are right at the spot to get the soul food you enjoy. They have a little difference in how you order your food but it's well worth the wait.

If you want real beef do not purchase from this restaurant they will give you fraudulent food and call it something else give you what you did not order with small portions and high prices with bad attitudes they act like they had a attitude to refund or fix my order. I would give a lower rating if I could.
Don't waste your money. 35 dollars for one person meal . No dining in at all no seating for waiting customers ....
Just bottom of barrel
yummy 😋 fabulous wonderful can't beat it worth the money
I made the mistake of not planning for the holiday so we decided to get ribs from uptown 😋 and everybody else also. 1hour wait time then sold out!!! Lesson learned..... order early.
