“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.“

“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“

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

“Wont go the extra mile, spent over $200 in aweek , ordered a wing dinner ladt night an was late picking it up, car breaking down even called an told them, got there within the hour to pick up, got home wings were hard and cold!!!! Not real happy now“

“Something weird is going on here. Little Italy opened 2 days ago and they have 64 reviews that all pertain to BBQ Daddy. Anyhow, I got a meat lovers. It seemed a tad overbaked. Either the pepperoni or sauce were a bit too zesty for my taste. Not bad, just not for me.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and even better atmosphere. I've been there twice and plan on going over and over again. The staff are very helpful and nice. My daughter would eat there every night if I'd let her 😅.“

“More of a bar atmosphere, but the bartenders were amazing! Food was amazing! Super awesome. Got the triple meal and the rib meat literally fell off the bone. The brisket even had the pickiest grandkids wanting more, but I had to hide the mac and cheese or they would’ve eaten it all! 10/10. My only criticism about the atmosphere is that for the quality of the food, I feel like it would be uptight and more of a restaurant/smoke house than a bar… no complaints, I love that, just threw me off at first“

“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.“

“We’ve been considering a visit here for quite some time - over a year. We should have checked it out much sooner, but glad we finally pulled the trigger. This place is GREAT! House made sauce. House made dough. Excellent toppings options. Besides pizza, there’s spaghetti, alfredo, garlic pasta - there’s pita sandwiches, soups of the day, and a large salad bar! They even asked us what kind of pizza we wanted added to the buffet when we first arrived. The staff is top tier. Super nice! If you’ve never been here - you need to check this place out. 11/10. If you’ve ever liked CiCi’s, Stevie B’s, American Pie - you need to get here.“

“As a frequent traveler for work throughout different states in the US, I always find myself craving Korean food, which brings me comfort while I am away from my house. Generally, I have been able to find high-quality and authentic Korean restaurants, although they've been elusive in some areas or states. Finally, I discovered Chung Ki Wa in Michigan. I've brought clients and friends there for numerous meals. Every visit has been worthwhile, and the restaurant offers a private area where I've been able to host my clients for an elevated dining experience and private conversations. If you're looking to experience authentic and high-quality Korean cuisine, similar to that of well-known Korean restaurants in NY, NJ, or LA, Chung Ki Wa is the place to visit“

“BEST PIZZA PLACE BAR NONE. Everything is beyond 5 stars. I was a big fan of Buddy's and also Jets.

My PIZZA PLACE is the best in Michigan. If you have not tried it, once you do, you'll continue to go back !!!!!“
