9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Dexter

“I've been an avid fan of Wings N Things since they opened 20 some years ago. I live 45 minutes away from it now, but still get cravings for their delicious mild sauce and have to hop in the car! The service is always excellent. They've catered multiple events for my family and we all love their food!“

“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!“

“Some of the best Brisket we’ve had. The ribs were incredible. Great staff and atmosphere.“

“I had the brisket sandwich and it was very good and the root beer barbecue sauce was very good also“

“Slows now inhabits what used to be Blue Tractor's... which was nice... but out of the 14yrs I've lived in Ann Arbor, I only visited 3x and once was because a friend asked for it. It wasn't bad... but it didn't stand out, like now it does as Slows. The food REALLY stands out... the only thing keeping this place from putting Satchel's out of business is how tender they make the meat... it's definitely not bad but not quite as tender as Satchel's. The overall taste and tenderness is on par with your typical popular Texan BBQ restaurants, but up North. The BBQ sauce collection is really nice... the flavor is dead on, though I wish sauce like the North Carolina one would be a little thicker... but the flavor is fantastic! The thing that really makes this place stand out is hands down the sides! This place has sides literally like nowhere else. Between my wife and I we got 4 sides combined and I can't even explain how good all of them are! It's literally an order of magnitude above the second best sides I've ever had in all the BBQ restaurants I've ever been in. We're talking about the green beans to the mashed sweet potato... I really can't imagine how they can make all their sides that good. I'm definitely coming back to experience all the other sides. I can definitely tell the people behind the kitchen absolutely put all their soul into making this place unique and amazing... so if you are reading this: just give those meat a tad more time... thicken up those BBQ sauces and you guys will become unstoppable!“

“Hell Saloon is the definition of a great local spot 🍻🔥. Cold drinks, friendly staff, and that laid-back Michigan energy that makes you want to stick around all night. They keep the music pumping, food hits the spot, and the crowd is always fun. If you’re rolling through Hell, MI, this place is a must-stop!“

“A hidden gem! Amazing prices and portions are huge! Reminds my husband and I of our honeymoon in Hawaii. This place will instantly cure your seasonal depression in the colder months. Wondering if they are open during the holidays I’d rather have this for Xmas dinner than Chinese anywhere nearby.“

“The restaurant itself is beautiful. We have been to the downtown Detroit location and decided to give the Ann Arbor location a try. We were not disappointed! We went for our anniversary and our waiter Ivan made our night out so special! He was very attentive, engaging and genuinely pleasant! The food is amazing, the variety of meats that are offered is great, and there are so many interesting dishes within the salad buffet. Thank you for such a great evening, we will absolutely be back!“

“i ❤️ texas!! they always strive to be the friendliest place in town!“
