“Down here for a doctors appointment tomorrow morning, staying at the guest house at Henry Ford Hospital, we were looking for a pizza place we don’t have up in the U.P., the delivery driver was very kind, and was delivered very fast! Food was delicious!“

“Service was speedy and professional, the order was double checked and accurate, the food was hot and the portions large. The store communicated when an item was unavailable. My order was ready at the expected time. Overall very pleased with the experience and quality. Parking was plentiful and the store is in a convenient location.“

“Myneesha is amazing, we can’t wait to have her back. Best food and best service we’ve had here hands down! Jen- Owner, Celestial Farms“

“Delicious foods! Amazing team and customer service! Definitely would recommend!“

“The food is amazing. The Brisket is my favorite next up the meatloaf. Recommend to everyone.“

“First time customers (7/12/2025). We needed to find a new BBQ place to satisfy our taste buds since SHEETZ is taking over 12 & Mound. WE FOUND IT. Ordered the Judges' sampler to try their variety. Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Baked Beans and Hush Puppies are ALL EXCELLENT. The Coleslaw could have been a bit creamer, but we didn't come here for veggies or salad. Loved their sauces as well. We will definitely be back and bringing friends.“

“The food was amazing, great prices he most definitely takes pride in his cooking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Nothing bad to say, servers/wait staff were great! Will like return, even despite the 30-45 minute drive each way!“

“Great food awesome people“

“I stopped in I wanted some food. I decided to check out the Nikola’s. Food was delicious very tasty well cooked. I enjoyed my meal and was so full that I could not even eat my dessert. I will come back again and try the barbecue ribs they looked good.“

“My food was on fire when I got it and it was excellent I really enjoyed it !!!“

“Dude's BBQ is sick. He hooks it up with extra sides too. However, it's first come, first serve. So you might be standing in line for 30 minutes with 15 other people, get up there to order and whatever you wanted is sold out. If there's huge line, i don't even bother anymore. It's only open like one day a week now, maybe two if you're lucky lol.“

“They serve lunch at our hospital and the brisket is to die for! Sauce has an amazing kick of sweet and savory in every bite. Definitely recommend.“

“The BBQ wings are so good! A bit dry but the seasoning definitely makes up for it. The sides are bomb too, great Mac and cheese, yams, and baked beans. The greens are flavorful but a tad bit on the salty side. The banana pudding is delicious too. Definitely going back!“

“Big thanks to Adam, Brenda Jean, Ely and Molly for making my 55th birthday celebration so fun. Everyone had a great time.“

40-minute trip for this place. They are that good 👍 👏“

“If you are craving for good Chinese food in this area, definitely check out Zhangs BBQ! We did take out, and they only accept cash.

Ordered the crispy pork and roasted duck. I would imagine that eating while everything’s hot would be so much better, but the pork was a little dry with skins that weren’t crispy; however, the duck even when cold was delicious. Usually the ducks I’ve had in Chinese BBQ can be very salty, but this one was a good balance of sweet savory combination. It was tender and fatty, and the skin has a good flavor to it too. Definitely would recommend the roasted duck.“

“This spot is the deal went yesterday n came back to food is good seasoning is on point the greens is fire the bake beans better 😘“

“Amazing service and flavorful food! Can’t beat this place!“

“OMG!! Just went to wedding that they catered……all I have to say is don’t wait another minute. If you’re looking for delicious BBQ give these guys a try. It was ALL delicious. The meat, the beans, everything!! You will not be disappointed.“

“I dined in for the first time a little over a week ago and loved my Cuban! I was determined to sample something else on their menu tonight and while the hubs was figuring out what he wanted, I started to read the reviews and was a bit shocked with a few of them. I too, have a lot of restaurant work in my background and so I paid extra attention tonight. I'm happy to report that my take out experience this evening has been stellar! My call in was handled well and without issue and was ready when I went to pick it up. I only live 5 min away (if that) and the food was really warm, well packaged and delicious. Portions are generous as far as I'm concerned-these Corktown Fries are enough for two and the they don't skimp on the portions of crisp either. I am really glad I've finally been able to get to this place and I'm sure they're on my 'go-to' list from now on.“

“My husband and I regularly come here from Detroit and the food is always so delicious! Our favorite is the jjampong and the naegmyeon combo with galbi. The staff here are attentive and quick to bring food, very impressive timing since usually they are always busy and not a lot of staff! We love it here, highly recommend for good Korean food in this area!

“Excellent service and excellent food ?“

“We have driven from Saginaw 2 hours away for the last five years to eat these authentic tacos and other Mexican delicacies. They are authentic and amazing. Totally delicious and a must try if you want real Mexican food.“

“Great food! Been here many times, and always have a good experience. However, they charged gratuity on a party of 4, so be careful. I tipped on top of their 16% added into my bill. Waitress of course didn’t mention the added cost and I didn’t notice until after the fact. Seemed odd for such a small party, but feel they should warn us while paying“

“I’ve been eating at this establishment for about 25 years. Great food great service I highly recommend it.“

“The guys running this business are very kind and caring people. They're always polite and respectful. The amazingly great tasting food they serve, in a timely manner, is always hot & fresh. These guys are truly a hidden gem! If you haven't eaten here you're definitely missing out!“

“My first time trying this restaurant. It was pretty good. I had the beef ribs and chicken dinner. The ribs and Potato salad, were delicious. The sauce is fire. The chicken was a little light skin, but it was done all the way through. The greens and mac and cheese needed a little more seasoning, but over all it was good. I'll be returning.“

“Sweet husband took me for my birthday! Great food! Decent service- Did not mention on menu or from server that tip would be automatically billed in. Would have liked to known at the beginning before ordering, just common courtesy. Idk if anyone else dealt with this. DELICIOUS DELICIOUS FOOD THO“

“A group of about 10 of us stopped in on a Monday for happy hour - there was a nice crowd, music was playing, sparsely decorated. They have a great patio right on Woodward which is why we came, but it ended up raining. Although only one bartender was working, cocktails came out fast and tasted fresh and good. They have an interesting n/a mocktail made with homemade cordial and soda - I didn't try it this time, but it's good to know they have an option other than soda and lime. The aperol spritz looked good as did the spicy margarita. A good place to catch a quick drink.

They have an interesting food menu - sushi during the day and late night, and bbq for dinner. Maybe a little odd, but I remember when this place was Oslo and had the best sushi, so maybe it makes sense? I'll have to come back to try the food. Everyone working has also been really friendly, so I'd come back. An excellent location if you work downtown.“

“my mother has went here since the age of 16. she is now 53 and it's the best rib sauce ever“

“great place to eat the hospitality was good the food was on time hot I'll be back“

“All the way from Indy we love y’all! I’ve visited plenty of times and brought one of my daughters this time! She agrees this menu beats all the bbq in Indy. She especially enjoyed the staff! She will be back for the ribs mac n cheese yams and greens and to try something else on the menu! Thank you“

“Came from Ohio to get nails done and went to the location on grand River. When I say the customer service was amazing!! Food was amazing!! I’ll definitely be returning real soon!! Thank you guys again for treating and feeding me GOOD!!! My fav bbq spot in Detroit hands down!!! Go check the out you want be disappointed!!“

“My father and I went in today for the 5 year celebration and our server Tajma was amazing. She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.“

“I grew up around the corner from here and it’s BEEN THE ONLY Chinese I will get… idc how far I am. This is the best authentic Chinese with REAL CHICKEN… not that soggy dark meat stuff. 🤣😩 GREAT portions it last for at least two days or share“

“This is our 2nd time ordering takeout from this location and it's soo good! 1st time we got the Mega Deal, and it came with everything pizza, chicken, rib tips, potato wedges and a cookie. $40 This time we got 20 split wings, pizza and stuffed bread so good! $35 This location is the Best!“

“This is the best pizza ve found so far. Cooked to perfection, staff was fny and had everything out before they said it would and it was cooked, sauced, and topped perfectly. Thank you for giving me a great pizza. We ate it too fast before I could get a picture. Thank you again“

“Great pricing, great food, and fast delivery. Will be using them again! Thank you guys!!“

“Great atmosphere in the rooftop. Heaters and blankets if you need them and aaaaaahhhmazing craft cocktails.“

“A tmi review but genuinely the service was amazing. Worst day i had, ordered a small cheese with pepperoni pizza with cajun crust (very good, gently crisp crusts and just enough cajun so 10/10) and a 2L of soda through Uber Eats, Didnt get the soda i wanted , they were out & i guess the uber guy disregarded my note on what to replace it with. I called, even though slightly tense (sorry) the guy was super kind over phone, apparently this Happys Pizza is closer than i thought so i walked to get it replaced and still was super kind, even offered a pie slice. On the verge of tears on xmas eve with the worst day but the service was so kind, and the pizza was good and good service needs to be acknowledged and appreciated so 10/10.“

“"I LOVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH I'M TRYING TO WATCH WHAT I EAT & LOOSE SOME WEIGHT @ THE SAME TIME!!“

“The food was damn good and well worth the price I will be checking this place out again the ghetto Burger was good it really didn't stand out from any other Burger but it was still good the cheesecake dessert was the only thing I did not like and honestly it didn't even taste like cheesecake was more like Frozen cake so I'll pass on the dessert but everything else that I had was damn good.“

“Theirs not to many places around the city that offer a good, hardy and delicious New Orlean style seafood gumbo but, I happened to be driving around on the westside and was hungry and decided to give a new place I'd heard about from a friend. The spot is called "Dem Noles Bois"...It's been awhile since I had a good gumbo. I've got to tell you, to my surprise, this was the best gumbo that I’ve had in years definitely five stars. I definitely will be back again...I want to try the BBQ Ribs, the fried chicken wings, and for sure, the fried shrimp dinner. P.s., the Banana Pudding was on point“

“Always yummy and delicious“
