35 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Grosse Pointe Woods

“Wonderful BBQ ribs Had carrot cake for dessert yum! Our waitress was the best! We will be back soon!“

“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.“

“Had lunch her for the first time today. We got the pulled pork, brisket and fries. Fries were crisp and seasoned to perfection. Pulled pork was tender — and there wasn’t a bit of fat to be seen. The brisket hands down was the star though. The most tender and juicy I have ever had. We lived in the south for years and this is by far and away the best bbq we’ve had. Their barbecue sauce is equally as delicious, I wish I’d ordered an extra! We will be back soon.“

“If you're craving a burger that's both mouthwatering and a serious challenge to finish, you've come to the right place! This is hands down one of the best burgers I’ve had—not just in town, but anywhere. The patty is huge, the meat is top quality, and the flavor is absolutely on point. The smoked ribs? Unreal. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything here is fresh and charcoal grilled to perfection. The lamb kabob was incredible, but my current favorite is the eggplant mix—it literally melts in your mouth. The chicken is juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the wontons—so good! I’ve never left this place disappointed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for bold flavors, generous portions, and consistently amazing food.“

“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.“

“Sliced brisket was 80% fat. The cornbread was uncooked. The 1/4 rack contained 3 short end pieces. Not worth $50.“

“I knew the pizza was gonna be good as soon as I met the GM, excellent hospitality, he talked to me the whole time my pizza was being prepared and was very joyful and takes pride in what he does! Got home and tried it for the first time and saying i am impressed is an understatement, this is the most filling and delicious pizza I have had in a long time. Definitely would recommend five stars isn’t enough!“

“Our table ambassadors was DeLois. The Salmon without the Mesquite sauce was succulent. DeLois went the extra (s)mile. I am recommending g her mfmnt training I am the CEO of a tech firm.Our website is www.MIDIGITEL.COM 3136435571“

“I was hard-core craving Mac and Cheese Pizza only to find that nobody makes it anymore....and then I found Pizzianos. I had people recommend them before but hadn't made it over there...but now I had to! The food...omg! Delicious. I dont even have words to describe the cinnamon bread. Perfection. And on top of the food being amazing, the customer service....superb! The gentleman i interacted with was beyond friendly and informative and I am now sold as a regular customer!“

Before we moved here we would go to our regular Thai spots . Not until we moved to Grosse Pointe did we know what really “Great “ Thai food was all about.

“I love this place! Amanda is great . The food is awesome!!“

“I love the place. The staff was very nice. I came with my friend. They were all very lovely. Very supportive of us coming in. In fact, they let us use the second table for our pizza and the table we were sitting at for the pizzas that were we’re gonna eat on that table. I could recommend this place even more. Way more better than jets and all those other pizza places. 10/10 would recommend anyone.“

“Louis’ slab suce gives the old TBQ vibes. I’m not sure if it’s the exact recipe but if you’re from the Windsor area, you know of what I speak! It’s smooth, not too sweet but not spicy either. It’s delicious…please retail it in London! Do you?“

“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.“

“well I give my hat off to the cooks and waitress tonight for first time coming here after seeing the restaurant on you got to eat here on the food network. well I have to say being a huge fan of bbq food this place blows away any bbq food truck i have ever been to in all the years ribfest has been around and i highly recommend to expanding to other city's like Chatham where I'm from people need to eat here best meatloaf beat mac n cheese best bbq beans I have ever eaten“

“Great food, drinks & service!“

“Decided to try this place for lunch today. Got the Italian calzone lunch combo with fries. The food was ready at the estimated time and was still very hot/fresh when I got it home. The calzone was a good size and great flavor. Fries were crispy. Definitely adding it to my list of go-to places. They had desserts in a display and they looked really good as well. Definitely going back to try the pizza and dessert next.“

“It's finally time for me to share my exceptional experiences with this location. I typically visit Texas Roadhouse Roseville once every 2-3 weeks, and I exclusively sit at the bar, whether I'm by myself, with my wife, or with friends. The reason is simple: the bar service is outstanding, and their hospitality is simply unmatched. I'd particularly like to recognize two amazing bartenders, Jackie and Nellie. While all the bar staff I've encountered have been excellent, these two are incredible to watch together. Their teamwork and connection while managing both a packed bar and an intense service station is remarkable. They handle everything while maintaining genuine smiles, offering warm greetings, and delivering fantastic service. The bar atmosphere feels just like your favorite local watering hole, where they don't just remember your name, but know exactly what you like to drink. Often, my favorite cocktail is being prepared before I've even taken my seat - that's what I call exceptional service! I witness this same attention to detail with other customers too, as they too are greeted by name. Considering I'm only there every 2-3 weeks, their ability to remember customers' names and drinks sets this restaurant well above any other chain I've visited. This personal touch is typically only found in beloved neighborhood bars. In the 10 months I've been coming here, I've never had a disappointing meal. I've explored various menu options beyond their excellent steaks, and everything arrives with perfect timing, allowing enough time to enjoy appetizers or salad/chili before the main course. If you need anything extra (condiments, cheese, etc.), the attentive bartending staff responds quickly, even heading to the kitchen themselves if necessary. This recognition of the outstanding bar staff is long overdue. After experiencing their wonderful service again this past weekend, I felt compelled to take some time to write. Thank you for consistently providing a dining experience that keeps me coming back!“

“Such a fun spot and you can sit outside and watch Woodward right downtown, pretty rare, and wander around Parker's Alley afterward. The drinks are delicious, never had the food. The staff are all kind, and I've never been there without having conversation with a stranger. Love this place“

“I had a taste for barbecue, went to Ken on Gratiot and they were closed, so I Google barbecue near me and Stonewood Smokehouse came up on Utica and Gratiot. I thought I walked into the Twilight zone the place was a bar I was looking for a restaurant. But the owner Gary saw the look on my face I was ready to turn around. He was like come sit down, want a drink, I told him no he asked me what I wanted I told him ribs he had the waitress bring me a menu he was very nice. So I got a rib dinner. And when I tell you those was the best ribs they were so good and the greens had a nice kick. A must try.“

“Great pizza, great people, great service. Nono's pizza is a little bit different than most other pizza places; the pizza is more subtle and soothing. It's not a flavorbomb going to explode in your mouth, it's a steady, relaxed, pleasant trickle of flavor, and that's a good thing. It's a refreshing change of pace. My theory is Nono's relies less on salt and sugar additives, which brings the natural flavors more to the forefront. After enjoying some of Nono's pizza, I feel more calm and relaxed than anything. Would recommend.“

“Great food and really nice employees.“

“This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and allow me to say that I will be ordering again…and again, I am sure. I ordered the catfish with a side of yams and collard greens. The catfish is the best that zi have had in years and the collards and yams were excellent! It is clear that care and love went into the food preparation. I must also say that the folks running the restaurant and providing service made my experience even more pleasant. I count myself as fortunate to have found such a wonderful restaurant as this. Thank you!!“

“Big Ken's has the best barbecue!“

“Amazing experience and taste“

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

“Been looking for a great pizza since I moved to the neighborhood. When I tell yall . This pizza Was delicious, IT WAS HOT . It hit all levels on my New Favorite place . The calzone was flavorful, juicy and very very close to the calzone I ate at least once a week from hungry howies before they discontinued it . It was full of content and not hollow at all . I smashed it . . This place was amazing. They were friendly. I will be back . Thank you for good service and GREAT FOOD“

“I’m new to the area and ordered pizza and breadsticks from here a couple weeks ago..it was delicious.. Today, I found myself too lazy to cook for myself again and again I put my trust into passport pizza. I was not disappointed. This time I tried the bone in wings. Boy oh boy, when I tell you they were the best carry out wings I have ever had.. I mean it..I was unsure about the mango habanero sauce so it was suggested when I ordered that I get them with the sauce on the side. Well, I ate all of the wings and I still don’t know what the sauce tastes like. They were so good it never even crossed my mind to cover them with anything.. So, if anyone is new to the area (or not) and is unsure of where to order food from.. skip the big pizza chains you’ve been eating and try Passport Pizza in Roseville on 10 mile n Gratiot. You’ll be happy you did.“

“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!!!“

“The pizza they serve here are great. I have no problem with the food they serve here. Keep in mind that the other reviews are old, from 2018 and 2015. Don't let these review stop you from trying this place out. Their bbq pizza are to die for and I suggest trying them out. There is one down side to this place though. The price tag. They can be little expensive but I think it still worth it if you going out once while kinda thing. It wouldn't be the kinda deal where I would go every week. It still good food. Give it a try.“

“It's better than Hungry Howies in terms of service and flavor. I purchased the 2 for 9.99, and ordered 2 large 1 toppings pizzas. It was ready when we arrived. I've also ordered for delivery before and didn't have any problems. The sauce is a little sweet, thats why it wasn't 5 stars.

Update: If you order the salad, make sure they pack everything separately, because it seems like the lettuce may be kept in water. I ordered a salad which was perfect on the first day, but completely soggy by the second day. Thankfully, I had lettuce in the fridge, so I was able salvage most of the salad fixings. Also, make sure you can share the salad because it is rather large for one person.“

“Amazing food and never disappointed! They rock!“

“Nice music nice food, gorgeous women“

“Happy’s makes me happy again! I haven’t been in a while so to walk in and see a whole 360 had me shocked but baby it was needed it was super clean, organized, the guy at the cash register was nice even though the people before was nice as well! My pizza was the best tasting and looking pizza since I started coming here a year ago. Definitely will be back more often with the changes! <3“

“We’ve been to Happy’s Pizza a bunch of times and it’s always a solid choice.The pizza was solid, the salad was fresh, and their stuffed bread is always a favorite. Best part? They have the good ranch — which honestly makes a difference. Consistently good food definitely a place we’ll keep going back to.“
