Pulled pork is amazing. Baked beans are also very good. This is a really great BBQ place. I've been several times and always had a good experience. I also like that they have BBQ sauces on the table.

I love this place! We are frequent diners of Slow's BBQ but when we're craving BBQ and don't want to venture to Detroit, we usually go here. It's delicious! The pulled pork is awesome and there are lots of choices for sides. It's also pretty cheap!
(5)Tom K.
Went to the Round House bbq for lunch today. Excellent ribs,pulled pork and brisket sandwiches, also try the sweet potato fries with dipping sauce,great!Well worth the trip from Livonia. Indoor as well as outdoor seating, we will be back. The sauces were wonderful!

I'm a huge fan of this place. The first meal I had when I moved here was at Roundhouse, and I was stoked. I live about 15 minutes away, and it has been to my weight's detriment. I'm a huge fan of the Ultimate Mac and Cheese with the jalapeños and brisket, and I keep trying other entrees, but they just don't live up to the Mac and Cheese. Everything here varies from "Pretty Good" to "Wow. I'd come back." Service is at par - rarely friendly, but that's about as far as it goes. I don't come to this place for the service. I am a man and will not be denied my meat.
(5)Kelli B.
I'm happy this is close to home. Had the brisket and the portion was good. It was more meat then fat which I find unusual at most restaurants. I wish I had gotten the mac n cheese, I stole a few bites from my husband's meal. Looking forward to going back and trying something else on the menu, maybe breakfast. Slow on drink refills.
(4)Stephanie E.
They have a wide variety of craft beer (bottled and on tap)! There a few different combination plates to be had here and my favorite would have to the at Louis ribs with Mac and cheese and a side of corn fritters or sweet potato fries! Great service and feet management
(5)Nicole K.
Good food, but it took forever to get a table for our group of 6 then even longer for our food to arrive. We were there for 2 hours before our dinners came. But we were comped an appetizer for their mix up.
(3)Rastus C.
Ate there on July 31st. I ordered the brisket and sausage combination from a "pick 2 " meat menu choice . The brisket was fat laden and uneatable. The sausage tasted like it was something packaged from the grocery store. Really disappointing . Credit to the waitstaff; they were very prompt and courteous.
(1)Jennifer B.
The food here is decent. I had a chicken wrap and it seemed to be lacking, I tasted more of the wrap than anything inside. I also paid extra for sweet potato fries and was surprised when I recieved 9 fries. It was a little disappointing because they were good. The service was ok, we waiting quite a while for our waitress to re-appear and notice our glasses were empty. They have a nice patio to enjoy when the weather is warmer and they are very close to Elizabeth Park, which is perfect for an after dinner walk. I noticed they serve breakfast, so I'll probably be back to give the breakfast menu a try!
(3)Adam G.
Very decent dining experience - nothing really great or bad to say. It's a pretty cool layout both inside and out, and if the weather was nicer we would've enjoyed the outdoor seating. Service was ok - not too personable but there when we needed her. Ample parking available in a nice, non-congested area off the main drag. Now for the food. I had the pulled pork dinner and it was good. However, it didn't seem consistent - some parts were juicy and some were pretty dry - and definitely lacking the smoky taste that's the signature of great bbq. You have I believe 5 options for sauces, and it's nice because they're right at the table n you don't have to worry about rationing them or waiting for more. Above average sauces, which made the dryness of the meat more tolerable. The portion was quite big for the price. The biggest bummer was the side dishes. The green beans were clearly straight out of a can, and the apple sauce wasn't bad but nothing to write home about. Epic sides are often a staple of great bbq joints, so perhaps that's something that can help take this place to the next level. Overall I'm not disappointed, especially for somewhere Downriver. We were thinking of driving up to Detroit for bbq, but the time n money saved by staying close to home made the tradeoff in taste worth it, I suppose. I may give them another try, and I sense it has potential enough that I wouldn't discourage others from trying it. Edit: forgot to mention they have a nice beer selection with reasonable prices.

This is my favorite BBQ place around. I am a HUGE fan. Their service is very good. The food is fantastic. I would recommend the BBQ'd chicken. It's so tender and flavorful. It falls off the bone. Their sides are amazing!!! My favorites are their mashed potatoes and gravy (Something so simple that they make taste SOOO good) and Mac and Cheese. I also would recommend their baked beans and Pulled Pork too! If you want to try a little bit of everything, I recommend getting the Roundhouse Sampler for Two. It's a ton of food that could feed a family of four. They have a really good variety of delicious BBQ sauces to use. I am a fan of the Original and Kansas City. My husband really likes the Carolina BBQ. They also have the wonderful convenience of carry out. You get lots of food with that. I just absolutely love this place!
(5)Rick J.
Good BBQ, sauces are ok, but that is subjective. Brisket was cooked right and not too fatty. Pulled pork was a it better than the brisket. Baked beans were excellent!
(4)Jack B.
Went today for lunch. Service was so-so. Wife got a pulled pork sandwich, the bun was real greasy and the pulled pork had a lot of burnt pieces. This place was a lot better when we first went here. This place seems to be going downhill.
(3)Jeff S.
Pulled pork is amazing great BBQ place in the heart of downtown Trenton. Staff is attentive and management seems to care if you enjoy the product. Good lunch prices
(5)Haley R.
I've only been here twice, but both times were very nice. The pulled pork dinner is amazing! There are quite a few choices when it comes to barbecue sauce, so you can have your meal EXACTLY the way you like it. I haven't tried the mac and cheese yet, but the corn bread and baked beans were delicious! I'll be back for sure.
(4)David R.
They smoke all their meat here. Lotsa home-made ingredients. Super clean, super nice lay-out inside. They have a bar and/or tables and a patio outside. Super-friendly and attentive staff. Did I mention it was "super"? A hop, skip and a jump from the Detroit River and Elizabeth Park, this place offers the best of Downriver eating and living. I took Mom there and we sat at the bar in the early afternoon. By chance, the owner was there and we got to learn about their smoking processes and attention to detail. The servers know most of the dishes because they've eaten them and love them, and fellow customers at the bar with us raved about the food. They ain't kidding. We got two bowls of chicken soup and a pound of the buffalo chicken wings. Believe it or not, Mom had never had chicken wings. These were smoked, big and perfectly cooked beauties server on a hot faijta-style skillet complete with oven mitt attached to the handle. The chicken soup was off the charts. Home-made dumpling-style noodles, lots of chicken, perfectly seasoned and healing. Any hiding demons of a pre-Fall cold or flu were busted and immediately departed me. These people are invading my dreams with their insane cuisine! Taking Mom back today to try the smoked turkey the customers and servers were raving about and we couldn't get yesterday because it had TWO HOURS MORE TO GO in the smoker... wow, just think of that phrase "two hours more to go" in the smoker. Where else does food get that kind of attention? The cherry on top is the prices are very fair for what you get. Really glad these guys are Downriver. On a sunny day, before or after a stroll by the River in Elizabeth Park or a stroll through downtown Trenton you should check these guys out. You won't be sorry. The downside is you could turn into a returning addict like myself.

What is going on at the Round House? I've given this restaurant several re-visits before I wrote my update. Two times I went with my son, once with my husband last week. I didn't want to do this, but the downgrade is warranted. The service is still attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is still cozy, the problem is the food, more specifically the side dishes. They used to have a yummy apple side dish, my son got jarred applesauce! They used to have fresh vegetables, another time my son got canned green beans! Their baked beans used to be slow-simmered with yummy bits of barbecue in them, now they also appear to be directly from a can. When approached about the green beans, the wait staff say, "A lot of customers prefer the canned." Seriously? I did not know this. I also haven't met many folks who prefer canned over fresh! They can't even be cheaper - I watch all the "Restaurant Impossible" shows, and the bottom line always ends up being fresh is cheaper and more appealing than canned. Someone is getting lazy! To me, baked beans are a sacred rite of barbecue, and these were an abomination! It's so sad to see this happen to my hometown restaurant! Even my baby-back ribs were dry last week. It's going to take a lot to get me back, so sorry.
(2)J M.
Excellent bbq and sides. Service was good and food came fast and hot. Would be 5 stars if the sauce on the tables was better.
(4)Jason P.
decent little barbeque in downtown trenton. tried the 3 slider special for lunch. had pulled pork, brisket, and sausage with mac and cheese. was a nice lunch for a pretty good price. service was good on a busy friday lunch hour. all in all i would go back.
(3)Gary J.
Best BBQ in Michigan. I love this place, I get it every time I'm in the down river area!
(5)Korey K.
Absolutely terrible food. As a BBQ fanatic and Trenton resident, I was pumped to give this place a shot. I went during the opening week and ended up waiting 45 minutes for the driest brisket sandwich I've ever had. After a few months I decided to give it another go, assuming that the opening week was just a little hectic; my food this time was even worse. I went in with a buddy of mine and we were two of a total 6 people in the place - much less crowded than last time. I already had low expectations and decided to try the sampler platter - all the meats! Certainly something must be good! Wrong. The brisket was just as dry, the ribs were extremely tough and rubbery (almost certain they were microwaved), and the pulled pork was watery and flavorless. Both the chicken and the sausage were actually decent, but nothing worth getting again. The mac and cheese was average, but disappointingly the best part if the meal. If it weren't for the sauces, the food would have been inedible. I boxed up the remaining half of my meal and fed it to my dog when I got home - she didn't touch the ribs.
(1)Tom F.
I'm going to hit you with a Roundhouse!!!! This is not a boxing match but another decent restaurant in the Downriver area. Burger Boy put on his cape and mask and was making his usual treck through the area to find another place he hadn't tried yet. Work was getting crazy and he just had to get out. We flew into this restaurant at the suggestion of one of the coworkers. Since I had my cape and mask on I had to try the burger(go figure). Roundhouse Burger Combo - added the cheese, bacon, lots of onions, pickles, slathered on the mustard. This burger is two 1/3 pounders of ground sirloin stacked real high with all the fixings. The burger was juicy and taste was excellent. The fries were just ok, not great, not bad. There was a small side of cole slaw, not bad, not great. The prices were reasonable. The service was great. Burger Boy will leave his cape at home next time and try the barbeque next time. The choices looked decent. After the lunch I walked back to my desk at work and moved my mask sideways, threw my cape over my head, climbed under my desk and took my afternoon nappy....Ahhh Burger Boy to the rescue(in my dreams)....
(4)Dani W.
I have always gotten the pulled pork and loved it. The mac and cheese is AWESOME. Great place and the wait is never long.
(5)Dave G.
OK barbecue. I'm sure this will do fine in Trenton. I got the smoked whitefish meal which was pretty good. I like that they put all four homemade sauces on the table for you to try. The Carolina sauce was excellent with lots of vinegar. The others were just middle of the road (Original tasted like Sweet Baby Ray's, the sweet was not too sweet and the hot was not very hot). Good Texas toast for wiping up the plate! For sides I got fries, beans and mac & cheese. The mac was interesting (Cavatappi corkscrews a nice change) but the cheese sauce was boring and they didn't bake it. Overall I miss the Mexican place that was here before, they had awesome homemade salsa that we ate by the pitcher!
(3)Joe T.
If you like your chicken wings Overcooked on a consistent basis this place is for you.
(1)Wes Z.
The BBQ burger is a monster. Highly recommended. The BBQ egg rolls were also excellent.
(5)Eric Y.
The food here is pretty good, full of flavor. I love that they have a selection of sauces to choose from, either to be cooked with the food or added to after it is served. The staff is very friendly and tentative. The seating arrangement is nice, with one side with tables and a bar and the other side with booths. My girlfriend and I have become regulars here and always order the Mac n cheese, and I advise you do the same!!
(4)D C.
Unpretentious, no hipsters to be seen (downriver is pretty empty of those), and no wait. Round House BBQ is the best BBQ I've eaten in Michigan. Best pulled pork. Good staffing. If you're down that way, definitely stop here for good eats. And then coast through Elizabeth Park for a walk by the river :)
(4)Tim K.
Went with wife and we split a pulled pork sanwhich, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoe fries. The pulled pork sandwhich was good and i like the idea of you being able to put your own sauce on the BBQ. They have multiple sauces (like Slows) and you add yourself. I was not impressed with the mac and cheese. It was a very small portion and fairly dry. Not bad just now what I would expect from a BBQ place. The sweet potatoe fries were large slices (like the idea) but soggy and undercooked. Wife and I gought over the crispier ones. The atmosphere is ok and the building is kind of split up. I would like to give them a second chance but not sure I will. There isnt much in the area so they do have that going for them.
(3)David K.
Meh....brisket was cut too thick. therefore a bit chewy. Corn fritter didn't have any corn. Deserts looked good, (probably all sysco), but i dont know as I wasnt given a chance to order one. I am overall disappointed with the experience. I may give the ribs a chance, but that is yet to be seen.
(2)Liz R.
This was my family member's choice for her first meal after being broken out of the hospital. Right off the bat, we had nice service, with quick drinks and lively menu conversation. They had the Tigers on behind the bar, so we settled back and got comfortable. I went with the pick two combo for $17. My meat choices were brisket and sausage, and my two sides were corn fritters with dipping sauce (warm maple syrup) and red skin potato salad. The sausage was juicy, great with the a couple of the sauces on the table. The brisket was tender, but lacked serious smoky flavor. The corn fritters were good. I hated the potato salad. My partner in crime went with baby back half slab. Gorgeous ribs, with great taste - she was in heaven (especially after 10 days of hospital food!). I recommend the ribs. They also have a larger cut of baby backs, called the Round House rack, that looked pretty good at a nearby table. Casual interior. Plenty of parking.
(3)Mike K.
I live in Trenton and thought I'd try this place since I passed by it often. Stopped in on a Thursday night to try the bbq ribs. Service was ok, decor was so so. Ordered a quarter slab of baby back ribs, cole slaw and 3 bean salad. Ribs tasted like they were made on Monday, hard and old and like they were reheated . Ribs should fall off the bone. These ribs were bad. Cole slaw and bean salad tasted like they were from a can from Gordons food service. Nothing home made here. Would not ever go back to this place. Overpriced for bad food.
(1)Charlie O.
Love The Food many side choices. Sauces were excellent. Great atmosphere. Brisket was sliced a lil thick Had no idea But I am sure they would f sliced it thinner the way I Like it. Loved the Hot bbq sauce Had a bite but it didnt over power the meat.
(4)M F.
We have gone here on two occasions. The first was not impressive but it was when they first opened. To be fair, the pulled pork was quite good but the ribs were not fall off the bone tender whatsoever. Another good point is they have a nice mix of sauces and each is tasty. So to visit number 2. I tried a combo (mistake) of ribs and pulled pork. The pork was as mentioned...quite good. Ribs...not so much. The sweet potato chips were not very good and most likely were frozen not fresh and not cooked all the way through. The corn fritters were interesting but they had powdered sugar on them as if they were a dessert. Both corn fritter and sweet potato fries were served with maple syrup? Here is the deal breaker. My daughter wanted Mac and cheese and the only dinner order of it was their Ultimate which had brisket and bacon and jalapeños and some other items. So she asked if that was the only way it came and the waitress said I can get you an order without anything in it....Great I thought. Ultimate Mac and cheese is 13.99 so I am thinking Mac and Cheese no meat is 9.99? WRONG....I should have paid attention to the bill before I had her run the card because we were charged full price yet no meat in the mac and cheese. It is no surprise why the place is not very busy.

I am very critical when it comes to BBQ...grew up in Texas and have had some of the best. I will not be returning. Ordered the sampler platter since I'd never been there before. None of the meats were well smoked. Very little smoke flavor at all actually. Ribs: very dry, almost no smoke flavor and very poorly seasoned. Brisket: This was the best thing on the plate. Thin smoke ring and almost no bark, but was seasoned well and with sauce was decent. Pulled pork: very dry, almost no smoke flavor. Sausage: Looked like it came right out of the fridge section and plastic wrap. Not even mediocre. Onion rings: right out of the freezer bag--watched the chef pour multiple things right out of freezer bags and into the fryer while we were there. Not impressed at all by that. Corn dumplings: Awful. The corn was old and terribly chewy. They were dry and had little flavor. The dipping sauce on the side tasted like syrup out of a bottle with a bit of cinnamon added. I did like the sauce assortment, although none were particularly memorable. Very disappointed and won't be going back!
(1)Emily D.
Yes, there is a goofy layout, but that is not thier fault, considering what it was before - definitely an improvement over the mexican place, which was GROSS. I thnk they did a great job with what they had to work with. Growing up in this area and living here all my life, I am extremely glad to have a restauraunt worth going back to in my neighborhood! My family and I have eaten here about 4-5 times since it opened. The service is decent, the drink selection is good, the prices are pretty reasonable and overall, i think the food is pretty good. My favorite items so far are the pulled pork sandwich and the corn fritters with maple syrup...yum! Thier potato skins are really good too - they definitely aren't the frozen kind! I like all of their sauces, and the best combination so far is mixing the hot and original on my sandwich - it's the perfect amount of spicy! The carolina sauce is really good, too. After reading the reviews on here, there is something I feel I must address - yes, your food will arrive rather quickly unless you get the steak, which takes longer. The reason for this is that it is *real* BBQ - which means the meat is smoked, not grilled. That doesn't scream "pre-made" unless you figure that they started smoking it in the morning...also, it's not a large restauraunt and they are not packed on a Slow's-type caliber, so the kitchen doesn't get very backed up at all. If I am craving some BBQ and don't have time to go to Slow's I will pick this place over Famous Dave's any day of the week. Please support local businesses!!!
(4)Peilo B.
overpriced for your fill. But my biggest gripe is there are NO decent side dishes and the sides they do have are overpriced for the portions and choices? Hard to have a full meal when you have your choices between meat and no real sides. They need to add about 4 -5 different cold pasta salads to continue the BBQ theme. The best thing they have going are the burgers, the sweet potato fries and the corn fritters. The pulled pork is eatable like McDonald's. I have also had a few bad experiences. I have seen cooks doing cleanup behind the grill with grease traps and then going directly to handling food, had to turn back my food it grossed me out so bad. I also was served spoiled ham during a breakfast recently as well as brown wilted lettuce on my white fish sandwich. Mind you there was 1 piece of lettuce. Hard to miss brown in 1 piece but somehow the cook did with mine
(2)Mark F.
This place is delicious! It isn't fancy (who's trying to be fancy eating bbq anyway?) but the food is always cooked perfect, the staff is very friendly, and it's never too crowded (at least anytime I've been). Texas roadhouse or famous Dave's used to be my go to for BBQ - but to longer!
(5)Kevin G.
Had a good meal and will certainly go back. St. Louis ribs: Excellent Baby back ribs: Good but a little dry Pulled pork: Average Brisket: Good Mac & Cheese: Excellent- some of the best downriver Corn Bread: Excellent Cole Slaw: Very Good Sauces: Tried a couple... both good... good selection. Bar Selection: Average Service: Good service and friendly Atmosphere was good... has the feel of a typical local favorite... crowded lots of energy. Overall, it was very good and worth the price.
(4)JT M.
This is not what I expected when I started eating here. This BBQ joint supremely surprised me. I have eaten there several times ordering different dishes each time. My wife being a veggie eater orders the same side dishes, and always leaves satisfied. Their ribs are very good. Fall off the bone quality. Their beef brisket is tender and juicy, while the pulled pork is of the same quality, and the multiple sauces add different, delectable tastes to each dish. The veggie eater loves, LOVES the mac n cheese and the same goes for the cornbread with jalapenos in it. The staff is prompt and assertive, and the bar is a cool place to hangout. The overall experience is great.
(5)Ryan L.
We visited Round House twice after boating on the Detroit River with family. Both times we had very similar experiences. The atmosphere is okay. The layout of the restaurant is a bit awkward, with one side of the restaurant being very small and right next to the kitchen. I can only assume this was an extension of the original building. The food is actually pretty good. The pulled pork is some of the best I've had, and the pulled chicken was excellent as well. I got jalapeno cornbread and mac and cheese both times, and both were very good. The mac and cheese is homemade, so that was good, but they said that some of the sides were just out of a can (green beans, I think). I didn't try anything else, but others got brisket and ribs, and said they were good. The service was great both times. The second time we visited, we had a very nice young man who seemed to really care about us and the business in general. He was a good waiter and really improved the service. The price is okay for most things. A fairly large sandwich is $5-7, depending on what you get. Sides are additional $2. A pulled pork dinner is $12, and I think ribs are $20. So, nothing too high by any means. Overall, we are very impressed with Round House and would not be opposed to stopping there every time we're in Trenton.
(4)Vince N.
I have been here on 2 seperate occasions. On the first visit I was mildly surprised that this place had some pretty good BBQ. Had Brisket and Ribs the first time. Both meat selections were great that day, the ribs were cooked properly and the Brisket was moist and flavorful. Fast forward to the second visit, had Brisket, Ribs and Pulled Pork. On this visit the Pulled Pork was the star,moist and flavorful. The Ribs were a little overcooked for my liking. I do not like ribs that fall off the bone. The Brisket this time was some of the toughest dried out Brisket I have ever had. Soaking it in sauce could not even save it. They have 4 different sauces to choose from the Carolina being my favorite. They also have a original, sweet and hot BBQ sauce. The sauces are pretty good here IMO The sides here are decent, but nothing to right home about. This could be a pretty good BBQ spot if they can get some consistency in meat preparation.
(3)Mark F.
Roundhouse rack was wonderful, good pulled pork, sauces, cornbread, and coleslaw. I recommend getting the slaw on the pulled pork sandwich. Waitstaff helpful, the only problem I have had is they ran out of chicken fingers one night, my youngster didn't t like that,
(4)Samantha R.
Our waitress is very witty and sweet, drinks always full. This building alone has had bad luck keeping businesses up a running but I think this one will stick around! Super cute in the inside and great menu! Has 6 different sauces my favorite is the sweet and kc one. Had the pull pork with Mac and cheese (squeeze a little sweet sauce on top!) amazing! Everything seems high quality they show they care about that! You can even buy fresh I mean FRESH beef jerky very good and good price.
(4)Kristina A.
We had the opportunity to try this restaurant out - and judging by the packed parking lot we weren't the only ones. First off, let me say - I'm not a fan of lots of flies while I'm eating, now that could have been due to the door opening so many times, but I had to kill one that was by the window the entire meal.....a little distracting.... ok - got that out of the way. We met a party and it was packed. I ordered the full slab of St. Louis Ribs with original sauce. They were out of the mac and cheese, so got the sweet potato fries . They charged a $1 extra for that (think they should have substituted for nothing.....), and the baked beans with bacon. The beans were plain pork and beans with a little onion thrown in - no bacon., nothing to write home about ( I have a better recipe -and I'd be willing to share...). The ribs were tasty - decent portion, but if they would have been cooked about 10 minutes more would have earned a fantastic from me. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and a large cesaer salad and said both were great...... Had to keep asking for water (but I'll cut the waitress some slack, being that it was opening week). Other than the flies and water situation, it was ok. Ribs are a personal preference - so I think it's kind of hard to rate those...... I would suggest better sides, something that stands out - and try not to run out of a popular side at the beginning of the dinner hour.....thats sort of like KFC running out of chicken.... :-) Congrats on the opening....the Downriver area needs a decent rib joint!
(3)mike m.
Friends took me here when i was visiting. i would recommend any number of other detroit-area BBQ joints before this one. The key to a great (rather than good) BBQ place is the sides and Roundhouse has a lot of work to do.
(2)Brad Q.
I have dined here twice now. The food was good. I had the pulled pork sandwhich. Smokey flavor and the Carolina sauce was good. Onion rings are battered, not breaded and were tasty! Wife had Mac & cheese. They definitely need some work. It tasted like velveta cheese with a couple noodles thrown in. No crunch. Tasted like box Mac with a different noodle. I thought the price was reasonable, four adults for $50. If you want BBQ downriver where options are REALLY slim, much better than a chain restaurant.
(3)Renee W.
The Service was good we were seated right away, told the specials and soup of the day, I had the brisket and 1/4 chicken and fry's , corn on the cob all was tasty the hubs had the platter and was pleased with it, we split the vegetable brisket soup which was also good and yes as others have said the place was full and had people waiting, I'm glad we waited for them to get the kinks out as most new businesses go through. We will be going back .
(4)Elizabeth H.
Living Downriver seems to be synonymous with limited choices for dining. Either a chain or fast food with some scattered non chain restaurants. However, Roundhouse offers a nice alternative to the usual choices. A BBQ joint with great brisket and pretty darn good pulled pork. Haven't tried the ribs, but I will definitely go back for these! The cole slaw was fresh and clearly house made. The beans seemed to slightly doctored canned baked beans - nothing to distinguish and I am sure there are better alternatives. Overall service was friendly and attentive. Sure hope this restaurant breaks the chain of short-term business at this location. I know we'll be back
(4)Mark K.
My Girlfriend and I had the opportunity to have dinner here last night. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and attentive, and all tables were full the entire time we were there. Now the important part...the food. Having spent several weeks in Texas, I'm very pick about my BBQ. I ordered the sampler platter (ribs, chicken, brisket) and my Girlfiend ordered the pulled pork. The ribs were just ok - nothing spectacular. They had a nice smokey taste, but weren't as tender as some I've had elsewhere. Actually, locally, I prefer the ribs at Mississippi Bayou. The chicken was very good. It had nice flavor and was very tender. The brisket was pretty good, but not Texas quality. The pulled pork was very good. There was a large portion as well. The BBQ sauces were very good. Having a choice of original, sweet, carolina, and hot should satisfy people of all different tastes. The sides were just ok. I agree with a the previous reviewer in that the beans were nothing special and seemed to be out of a can with very little doctoring up. The cole slaw was good and fresh tasting. The toast included with the meals was pretty tasty. Overall, it was good. We will most likely visit again. Please take into consideration when you read my review that I am very critical of ribs and brisket. I have had the best of both, so I have to compare everything else accordingly.
(3)Jeff P.
Not a bad place at all. I was actually really surprised to find such good bbq in the Downriver area. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and a side of corn fritters. The pulled pork sandwich was actually really good and combined with their sweet or kc bbq sauce it was really good. The mashed potatoes were just ok, but the corn fritters were excellent. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience and I'm sure that I will be back in the near future.
