I would rate this lower but I didn’t get to sample any of the BBQi went for. They were out of Brisket, and burnt ends. Asked to substitute the sirloin tips for brisket or burnt ends and was told no. My wife ordered chili and it was far from good. Then she tried the Brussels sprouts and was not impressed. I ended up with a pulled pork and chicken burrito, it was not anything to write home about. Could have found a much better way to spend $50…
Stopped in not too far from closing and was seated right away. We were just looking for a small bite to eat at the end of our day. We had the burnt ends and pretzel bites and a German beer. All came out fast, hot and flavorful. The cheese and mustard for the pretzels was really good. Friendly staff. Would try again.
Incredible. From the service by Becka (Rebecka) who was absolutely amazing, attentive and listened well to our dietary needs. Our meals we incredible. The “small” nachos we loaded and fed two. My steak, grilled to perfection, and was a great cut. Thanks so much and we will be back for certain! See ya in a month.
Nothing was good here. The pulled chicken breast tasted like it came from a can. All the Sides were below average and not tasty. The baked potato was brown inside. The baked beans tasted old. The corn bread was blah. There was no sweet bbq sauce.. the house sauce was very ordinary. I ended up sharing my wife's brisket which tasted very average at best. The server didn't care that I didn't enjoy my meal. Way over priced. For the money easily the Worst BBQ ever.
Cornbread was hard and old, no way was it warm and fresh likeit.used to be. With that being said they used to just serve cornbread to every table that is no longer the case. The fries were cold, the server was unable to break my $50 because she couldn't find the manager. 2 older gentleman wanted cobbler & apparently the cooks "couldn't find it"... not worth the money and WILL NOT be returning.

The live music was horrible, our server was inattentive, and our food was mediocre. We got nachos to share, and the green pepper and onion were chopped so big I could have easily cut them in quarters before eating a bite. The sweet potato fries were good. My mother ordered the brisket, which should have been tender and delicious, but it was chewy and dry. People rant and rave about this place, but we've never been impressed, though we keep trying, thinking we'll have a similar experience someday. We won't be returning for a while.

Came here with a group of 10. Service was good. Food was amazing. Except the pork rinds and Burnt Ends very disappointing.

Food was good and kids enjoyed the wings and corn dog bites. I just wish the service didn’t take so long to come back to the table to check on you.
Wings had good flavor but a little dry. Only tried the wings and pork rinds. Would come back but probably not for the wings.

Smoked wings are double cooked and F amazing after they’re fried! The French fries are fluffy and crispy, in a super amazing way. The potato salad is Grandmas recipe but great! Rib tips could be cooked slower because they always have a tough bark. Brisket is usually cooked past done and has little smoke flavor. This review as I read it seems negative but it’s being compared legacy bbq recipes and restaurants. Michigan has difficulty in acquiring mesquite and firing old school steel outdoor smokers. This bbq restaurant is my absolute favorite except for BALDWINS ON M46

I was so shocked at the price. Ridiculous, we ordered the combo platter with 3 different meats. 2 sides expecting it to be enough for 2 people, not even close 47. Dollars later, i'm in the kitchen fixing something for myself to eat. We won't be doing that ever again.
Good food. Service good. Better than the big chicken place in town.

Just noticed a past review and for the life of me why I gave this restaurant a bad review. This is a correction, the food is great! Their cornbread happens to be my favorite. My apologies to the business.
Can't forget the wings 🔥

Imagine yourself as me, a bachelor. A bachelor who cannot cook for the bleeding life of him…and then imagine an entire restaurant that I can effectively outcook. DON’T expend the brainpower to imagine it. It’s called Slo’ Bones BBQ. Serving a baked potato so moderate in quality Gordon Ramsey himself would have come from the grave (if he were dead) to ridicule. Brisket - could have made at home and would have saved me the bloating and sick feeling of mouth sweats (you know, the kind before you vomit) for the remainder of the evening. Had to have been boiled - don’t let the smoker pig deceive you, he’s just a conversation piece.
OH WAIT don’t forget the Alcoholic beverages (the ones they serve at the entire open bar that they have which is roughly half of all their seating) which are effectively non alcoholic. I drank a lovely fruit juice cocktail for dinner with the aforementioned baked potato. McDonald’s Apple juice would have given me more of a buzz and would have been fresher than the hours-old tangerine draped generously over my fruit cocktail.
I could hear it crying. It was telling me: “You should have gone to Prost or Poblanos, and spared me the miserable fate of being the least fresh fruit you’ve consumed this week despite the black bananas on your counter you ate for breakfast this morning.”
To which I would have said, “Yes, but dine and dashing is impolite.” I digress.
Actually I don’t. I was seated by an unenthusiastic, unkind, UNHostpitable Hostess who would have much rather not done what she was doing. (But I mean who doesn’t feel like that when they’re working with people amirite?)
The waitress was nice though. She needs a raise. Or to get a job where they don’t serve food I am able to EASILY MAKE AT HOME AS A BACHELOR. she’s the only reason I gave a tip (in This economy of all things), which should say something to the pit master (I can’t put his name in here because it could be considered a cuss word in some circles) and the owners of this establishment. That thing is, Do Better. Won’t eat here again, not that y’all even care. <3

Boiled food. its a bar. The food we received pork sandwiche u could not pick up after 2 minutes. mushy soggy. onions and cheese pretty nasty. Sorry guys, the food was not good for us. Pick 2 meats. Everything tasted the same, like leftovers reheated.
