This place is simply amazing. Everything is great. I have tried nearly every pork item, and all were amazingly good. The sides are all tasty too. Draft beer selection is amazing. Service is good. The quality of the food shows with the crowds it attracts. more

I went to this restaurant with a group of at least 20, and they did an excellent job with keeping up with our orders and service needs! I usually have a lukewarm reaction to bbq/southern food, but everything we had here was delicious! When we arrived, there was already a packed house with a line out the door, but thankfully... more

I don't know who could write a bad review of this place. I'm a Detroiter, and I've been to Slow's during peak dinner hours on Friday, for lunch during the week, and after 10pm on the weekend. Despite it being packed, the bar is extremely laid-back, and the bartenders have no problem pouring you a drink to bill to your... more

Hey, I'm BBQ country (North Carolina - South Carolina) and I've never had better dry ribs than I had recently at Slow's BBQ in downtown Detroit. My two suggestions are this: don't let the location scare you and get there early 'cause the place gets packed fast! more

Slows has amazing BBQ in a town full of good BBQ joints. The cornbread is the best and I know people who'd kill for the mac and cheese. I drool just thinking of their house-made root beer. Unfortunately, the only space available when you're waiting for a table is immediately next to the bar...a bar full of heavy smokers. Your... more

If you haven't been - what are you waiting for?? The food is awesome!! I am not a huge BBQ fan per se, so I opted for the dinner portion of the mac & cheese which is THE BEST. I cannot put into words the goodness of the crispy browned cheese of the top layer. My husband had the 'surf... more

Slow's is by far the best BBQ in the metro Detroit area. It's inviting interior warms the soul. The food is consistently good with the Mac n' Cheese topping the list of delicious goodies. All this balances out the incredibly poor service. I understand the point of including bohemian/hipster staff to add to the locale's ambiance, but to put it... more

Food is great. Real BBQ. Not enough staff to even get you a drink from the bar while you wait for a table. They also will not take reservations if party less that six..... so you choice is to wait, and fight to get a drink, or leave.... the last two times I have left. If you are patient, it... more

The meats are cooked low and slow with a smoked flavor and the ideal smoke ring just as the oldtimers cook in competions. This by far is the best BBQ in the state. The owners take pride in the cooking as well as design of this location with a whole lot of hands on work.And yes the Mac and Cheese... more
