16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Ypsilanti

“Can’t believe I drove by this place for so long without realizing what it was. Seriously best BBQ I have had in Southeast MI. Literally everything we had off the menu was amazing. Mac and Cheese along with the brisket was the best I think I’ve ever had anywhere. The quantities are smaller but prices are decent. It’s definitely not the classic pile of meat on a cafeteria tray style BBQ, but the flavor makes up for it. The vibes inside were awesome, dark speakeasy with exposed brick walls and low couches. Great cocktails and large selection of Shorts beer.“

“Wonderful customer service and delicious food“

“This guy named Alan wouldn’t talk to me “because they were busy” I was going through a depression episode and thought about jumping off a bridge. Alan would’ve made me not jump off a bridge if we talked. Now I’m in the hospital. I’m never calling happys pizza ever again.

Good food though“

“I ordered catering from Satchels twice in the past month. Fabulous both times. Loved the pulled chicken and brisket. Mac and cheese and potato salad were great. Baked beans are the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was chunky and healthy. Can't wait for another reason to order.“

“Absolutely love smoked meats and absolutely love Blue Kuna Smokehouse! Everything about this restaurant is top notch! From the wood selected to smoke the different meats, to the fantastic scratch made rubs used, to the awesome sauces made by Randall Kuna-the owner and chef, to the welcoming atmosphere and outstanding service they offer! Randall Kuna is right there assisting you with your order, in between taking phone calls for catering orders! This restaurant offers the best smoked meats in the metro area and deserves to be in the Free Press’s Top 10 Best New Restaurants, but don’t wait too late in the day to place your order, as they can sell out fast! Congratulations Randall, we loved our visit! You made it very special and will be back soon! Patty (Kuna) Mulkiten“

“Being the job that I have and traveling as much as I do around Brighton and surrounding cities I try to try a new place for lunch as often as I can. Today I'm down in the westside of Ann Arbor and this new restaurant Ricewood BBQ, OH MY GOD!!! On the recommendation of the lady behind the counter I got the Brisket bowl with sesame cucumbers, pickled onions and the spice was medium. A "real", in my opinion BBQ place, you even smell the smoke from the wood smoker walking up. I went to the one on North Maple and by far the best lunch I've had all summer!!!“

“The Boneheads in Willis is awesome. The wait people are great. The broasted chicken is to die for! Unfortunately, the Boneheads in Saline blows!“

“Food was really good. I had ribs, brisket and chicken breast. I didnt care too much for the sauce they had already on the chicken. But everything else was good. Brisket was soooo tender and the ribs were on point. That was my favorite. I had Mac and cheese and Green beans. The sides were ok. I was expecting the green beans to be cooked differently. They are still hard but flavored well. The Mac and cheese kinda had more cheese than noodles. But over all I enjoyed my food. I would come again.“

“come try the smoked bbq specials“

“Beef bulgogi cupbaps are 🤤🤤🤤“

“Authentic Korean meals and warmth“

“The restaurant itself is beautiful. We have been to the downtown Detroit location and decided to give the Ann Arbor location a try. We were not disappointed! We went for our anniversary and our waiter Ivan made our night out so special! He was very attentive, engaging and genuinely pleasant! The food is amazing, the variety of meats that are offered is great, and there are so many interesting dishes within the salad buffet. Thank you for such a great evening, we will absolutely be back!“

“My favorite pizza place. I live in ypsi, 15 minutes away. The ride is so convenient and the food is always ready right when we get there. The staff is so friendly and knows us and our usual; the BBQ chicken pizza that none other can compare tin my opinion. it’s all ways crispy, well coated, and taste amazing. The BBQ from this place is to die for I could eat is on anything. I miss the popcorn chicken tho those were so crispy and the little spice was amazing.
