Ok. The Mac'n cheese was pretty good. You can tell that they use real cheese in it.The Wing Dings were a little over cooked. They were smothered in BBQ sauce. Which is not bad but the sauce tasted pretty generic. It was OK sauce. It was more sweet than savory BBQ.I asked for brisket since they have it in the Google review picture. It's not on the menu. The host said they were out. Next week they would have some, he said. He said that the lamb price was the same for brisket even though brisket is not on the menu.The floors have not been mopped. The entire place smelled dirty. I've never been to a BBQ place that didn't smell like the smoke you use to smoke the food.The host, Mohammed was a great and nice guy.In all, I payed $20 for the small Mac'n cheese and 10 BBQ wing dings.

Ordered carryout. Found one hair inside the bag. Disregarded it, wasn't in the food. Then found another hair inside of the pulled pork during my first bite. Threw out the whole food. $20 well spent.

I ordered the rib dinner not worth the $28. It’s one big rib that’s not edible at all. The greens are cold, the only thing worth eating is the Mac n cheese I’m highly disappointed. I do not recommend anyone to go

I've been in Hamtramck for a long time and I like to be supportive especially to up and coming small businesses but this place served me the worst fried chicken I ever had in my life. The fried chicken (12/16) was literally black and taste old, the green beans and potatoes tasted spoiled, and macaroni & cheese wasn't fresh. $18 dollars for this meal and I wanted to return it back but I threw everything in the garbage. My prediction is that this business will be out of business in the first 3 months of 2023. Be very careful ordering from HamTown barbecue on Caniff and Lumpkin, your life may very well depend on it.

Went to this place for lunch. Never again food was horrible nothing was fresh all warm not hot. I ordered mac& cheese greens fried chicken and yams $22. I called back to let them know I wanted my money back. Left me on hold I called a couple more times no answer. Called from another number then answered. The young men ask why food was horrible. I'm in a nice way letting him know he hangs up. But all good I want be back here no more and I don't recommend any one esle after been treated disrespected. It so many ways he could've went about the situation to keep business. Especially when customer is politely just letting know the food wasn't good. Hopefully for other customers this doesn't happen. I wish to leave no stars!

Food is good but they taxing like crazy. I can go to bishr and get double the amount with the money I spent. If they lowered their prices a little they probably would be boomin.

Highly recommend,best food I’ve touched in a long time.Will be back!!!
Hamtown is the best place to go if your looking for amazing soul food cooked fresh daily with expertise and a passion for cooking incredible food. Everything I've had from here has been delicious, even the mashed potatoes and gravy which may seem basic and underwhelming is so flavorful, smooth and rich, believe me the mash is not to be overlooked. Anything you order from hamtown will undoubtedly hit the soul food craving you have.

The Fried Chicken And Mac & Cheese were good but idk who is making the yams and the Kool-Aid but the Kool-Aid is literally diabetes in a cup and the yams were super hard and raw tasting, it doesn’t give me that hot and ready vibe either because all of my meat was cold and this was maybe a 1hr and 30mins after opening smh, my advice hire better cooks and take pride in your food , don’t give it to the public if you wouldn’t want it served to you in those conditions, Customer Service was A1 the girl that was preparing my food is very polite and prepares everything well

Could not consume more than a couple bites. Fried chicken is soft not crunchy just looks like it is; mac and cheese literally has a pond of oil & taste bland; rice is ??; corn bread was stale and hard on the outside I'll keep making the 20 minute drive for soul food.
