Second time coming here in over 10 years ordered the $30 plate that comes with three meats ribs brisket and we chose to get chicken. When the tray arrived I thought more food was coming because there was literally three pieces of rib two dollar pancake sized pieces of chicken and a couple slices of brisket. Barely enough to feed two people. My boyfriend could have ate that by himself. The taste was okay Ive had much better other places. dickeys being my top bbq spot. Overall disappointed wouldn't come here again. they have to keep their lights on somehow so they charge you $30 for less than a pound of meat altogether. And FYI the door is kind of hidden sandwiched between two other doors and faces towards the train station

I bought a Half a Slab dinner, the Ribs were old and Nasty 🤢, the worst ever, the Mac and Cheese were old and Dry, the Baked Beans were Very Good, I won't be going back, I wasted $23. For nothing, These Restaurants charge top Dollar for their food, there food Should Taste Top Notch,I was Very Disappointed Not Worth the Money 💰

If you haven't been here, or just visiting.... You owe it to yourself to check out slows. It's a toss up as to which is more amazing, the food or the service. Never had a bad meal and never left thinking the staff could have done more. The apple Bar, sets the bar. I've literally had to fight myself from not drinking from the container they provide. I truly put this as my top sweet BBQ sauce. If they found away to pack some heat (without just mixing it with their hot) I might ask if I can just rent a booth and treat it like an Airbnb. I always go with the 3 fav. and add a link. And it's been flawless every time. Please keep up the great work and already looking forward to my next trip to the mitten.

What a great meal with fantastic service, Terry was amazing, he really made our night with his food and drink recommendations (slows sangria, get the craft) his services was impeccable, seriously a great night. Food could not have been better, the triple threat was not a disappointment and the duce with chicken and pork was also amazing! Can't get over the night, thanks Terry for facilitating a great meal for us!

Slows. Is. My. Happy. Place. Great service and top quality food. It is on the pricey side, but you definitely get what you pay for in quality. You can tell that they don't cut corners with their slow cooked brisket or pulled pork. And whatever you order, THEIR MAC AND CHEESE IS A MUST!!

The atmosphere and service were nice, but the food quality ain’t what it used to be. My brisket sandwich was mostly fat. My daughter was less than impressed by her triple threat. The meat was really dry. They claim GF options, but were out of GF buns. The menus also need to be updated to reflect the true prices. The triple threat is now $1.50 more than what is listed on the menu.

10/10 Would not Recommend As a person who has lived with severe allergies her whole life, I know what it’s like to not be accommodated at restaurants and this place was no exception. They had a number of sandwiches with the gluten free symbol next to them and the promise of a gluten free bun with an additional $1.50 charge. They also brought out a selection of five barbecue sauces, one of which has gluten and three others have high fructose corn syrup, one of my other allergens. This left me with one sauce to use which was a vinegary hot sauce, pretty bland and something I could’ve just bought at the store. Needless to say I was disappointed but the adventure was just beginning. I ordered a sandwich with pork, bacon, and ham with a gluten free bun along with a side of fries. Shortly after, the manager came out and notified me that they were out of gluten free buns, cutting my menu options down significantly. I decided to stick with the sandwich I had ordered minus the bun and lo and behold I was presented with a bland pile of meat shavings. As I had no sauces to add besides the vinegary hot sauce, I was stuck eating the vile, flavorless meat with no way to remedy the situation. To top it all off, they gave my fries order to another person in my party, letting them sit right against her gluten bun. At this point, I was trying to hold in my tears as I ate my pile of meat shavings. Once the check came around, I was so done to even care that they overcharged me and the menu prices didn’t match the receipt. I explained to the waitress about the mishap but she just said it was different in the system and her manager had changed it. I was fed up with the excuses so I paid and left. I will NEVER be returning to Slow’s.

Even though the quality of the meat was very good, the temperature was low. I believe it is not only at Slow but restaurants need to find a way to keep the food at a reasonable temperature.

I’ve been wanting to try the bbq here for years and I will say that I was throughly disappointed. The ribs were so dry and full of fat that they were almost inedible. I’ve had much better ribs out of the refrigerator section at Costco than the ribs I had a slows. The sides were decent and the service was great, but the bbq left a lot to be desired

We got the Slows BBQ Wings, Burnt Ends, and The Big Three combo. Overall my experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. The meats were overall dry and lacked the depth of smokiness, and the burnt ends also didn’t taste like the burnt ends I’m familiar with - not burnt crispy on the outside and juicy tender on the inside; rather it was just a little dry and soaked in the barbecue sauce.

Let me first say our waitress was great we sat at the bar! The Food=T.R.A.S.H. I understand yall not making fresh food but at least make sure it's Hot when you bring it out. Only thing yall probably make fresh is the fries so I don't understand how they come out cold too. Smh. Nothing looked appetizing. Nothing at all. Everything looked old. Rib tips dry, brisket drowned in sauce. We won't be back. A total waste of money. Smh

Just a southerner in the area for work. I decided to give some Detroit BBQ a try. This is cool hole in the wall place. Service was solid. Wish I could say the same about the brisket. It lacked flavor and it sells at a premium. With that being said the pulled pork was tasty and I recommend you just double up on that for your meal. The spicy sauce was solid but the apple based sauce was different and worth trying. I enjoyed it! As for the sweet mash it was ok. It could be outstanding with a cinnamon honey drizzle. If you are in the area give the pork a try.

They have several sauces on every table so you can try everything without asking the server which is nice. You can buy jars of your favorites on the way out for a super reasonable price. Service was also good. Location is super convenient to Roosevelt Park and the restored iconic train station. Take a stroll through historic Cork Town after dinner to visit some great shops and venues.

First time at Slows and was anxious to try their barbecue. I sat at the bar and waited approximately 5 minutes before I was greeted by a server and it was not crowded. I was finally greeted and my order was taken. I ordered the 3 meats which included baby back ribs, pulled pork and chicken thighs. My two sides were Mac and cheese and fries. The pulled pork was cold, the ribs were extremely tough and fries were over cooked (fried way too long). My overall experience was unpleasant, the food was terrible and the service was awful. I had to ask for silverware and napkins. I am African American that likes to wear gold chains, a Rolex and Cartier glass. I witness the bartender staff be more attentive to the white patrons. I’ll be going back to Lockharts in Royal Oak where the food and service is to tier.

I've actually heard of Slow's. So when I found myself nearby & hungry, I beelined. Once I figured out where the door was, all was good. I was greeted & seated very quickly. I love the combo of light wood & black metal for the tables. The light color of the ceiling is nice too, keeps the space feeling open and airy, which it is. The dish towels as napkins is quirky and exactly appropriate & appreciated. The music is a touch too loud but, whatever. And putting the hand dryer right next to the urinal is a questionable decision. I like the concrete sink but, maybe a smaller one would've worked better? My server, Alisha, was super nice, jovial even. The pulled pork on The Reason sandwich ($13.00) was astoundingly tender and tasty without sauce. There are 5 sauces to choose from: apple, NC, sweet, mustard & spicy. The spicy could use a bit of punching up but otherwise they are well labeled. The coleslaw (I asked for it on the side) is superb, great flavor & not over-sauced. The one downside was the extremely LOUD dad who swore like sailor at his two young kids. (How dare a child get upset & express himself with tears because he has feelings?) 🙄 I heard every word he said - even when he whispered to his wife - until the door shut behind me. Assuming they aren't slammed and I can find a parking place (and the balding loudmouth isn't there), I'd come back in 30 minutes. OK, 60.

This place has perfectly cooked bbq. With that said, it is under seasoned. They do offer a slew os sauces, but it doesn't make up for well seasoned meat. All in all, the ribs give you the perfect bite, the brisket is tender and juicy, the corn bread and chicken are flavorful and not dry. Also, the drink selection is top notch, great cocktail place. Some bar tenders were super nice, others seemed.... kind of hipster ish if that makes sense.

Sad to see how bad this has become over the years. Seated for a 730 reservation at a dirty table - someone came and wiped it down leaving it soaked as we stood awkwardly by the table. Don’t bring guests to a table if it’s not ready yet? Placed order within 10 min - server was friendly. Food took nearly an hour to arrive.. 1 order of ribs and 2 sides of meat. The server came out twice to apologize for the delays. Several tables around us, both small and large parties all had the same issue. Quality of food was okay - ribs came out cold? Sweet mash was good. Person who brought out our food dropped half of the sausage plate on our table, cleaned it up but never replaced literally half of the dish and of course I was still charged. She was visibly upset that we asked for silverware, napkins and plates - maybe that was someone else’s job? I was given a dirty napkin but after waiting an hour to get my food and the anger shown for asking for silverware, figured it wasn’t worth asking for a clean napkin. Bartender seemed ANGRY at the customers I did observe him dealing with - any questions about drinks, etc were met with cold answers and attitude and mind you I’m sitting at a table 10 feet away and can see, hear and sense all of this. The only positive was our waitress, who genuinely seemed apologetic of the whole situation - hopefully she can join many of the much better food establishments in Detroit.

2 hour wait today!!! (For indoor seating) We were never informed we could have dined outdoors) E x t r e m e l y S L O W. All 5 of us got brisket with another choice of meat. All came different sizes and cuts of the brisket. When we reported this to the manager, he informed us "everything is weighed out." We all had different portions of the brisket. So how could that be? All of our food was pretty much cold, but we were hungry. Ribs very dry. Coleslaw inedible. The server didn't bring my cornbread out with my meal, like everyone else. When I mentioned this point out with another server, he brought our server out. I told her I didn't get any cornbread. She said, "I'll get you some more. When she finally brought it out to me she said, "here's your extra cornbread." What the heck, I never got one in the first place. Plus, I was pretty much done with the meal. Manager had a bad attitude also. So did most the servers, IMO. None of the employees looked happy to be working there. The ONLY thing that made it worth while was the conversations we had with the other patrons waiting. I won't be back! Not if it was free.

I've had barbeque across this country, and this one places solidly in the middle of the pack. The sauce game is GREAT and the smoke on their meats was clearly well crafted. If the meat was better cuts, and their sides portioned for adults rather than children, this could be a top tier restaurant. No joke, the corn bread was smaller than my wallet, and a side of fries was legitimately 6 waffle fries. Of all their sauce flavors, it's clear the most consistently utilized was their Weak Sauce

This was my second time at this restaurant. And the first time was incredible. Only a few months later, This time was a letdown. This place used to be crowded and now it seems like it’s very easy to find a table. Perhaps that should have been a clue that something is off with this place now. The service is prompt and polite. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and made good recommendations. I had a combination where I tried their baked beans, coleslaw, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. The brisket was good. The pulled pork was OK. but the ribs were awful. Specifically the ribs seem to be not cooked slow and low enough and we served not quite at the right temperature. It felt like the ribs were left over or not really fresh but certainly not cooked well. The baked beans were a bit sweeter than usual. Cornbread and Coleslaw were fine. Perhaps it was the quality of the meats, but I also did not care much for the various sauces and now I cannot remember if the quality of the sauces has declined or whether it was the quality of the meat that could not be masked by the sauces. Because so many tables were empty, even though it was prime time for dinner the atmosphere was nice. but this is not a quiet place even with only a few patrons around. My first experience was so good, I would likely give this one more shot in a few months. but for now I’ll be staying away

Fantastic BBQ joint, I've eaten a lot of que in my day and this was right up there with the best. Perfectly smoked ribs, a good selection of some very good sauces, my personal favorite was the mustard sauce. The sides were amazing, specifically the beans and BBq'd carrots, sounds odd but try them, you'll like them. I have honestly never had baked beans this good in a restaurant, pieces of pulled pork added amazing flavor. Their bread & butter pickles were freaking outstanding, I asked our waiter for an additional plate of them they were that good. Mouth is watering just writing this review. Would definitely go back when in Detroit.

I went to Slows when they first opened and they were great. Not sure what happen, but the brisket is dry and over cooked. I will never go again. I guess they think we all like beef well done.

This place was fantastic! Went here on a Saturday night and sat outside. Service was lovely. We ordered the Amish chicken as an appetizer and that was a great idea. It was wonderful! The smoked flavor and the juicy chicken was outstanding. I HIGHLY recommend the CARROT CAKE for dessert. It was better than most bakeries and they make this in house! I have been craving it ever since. The American Dream sandwich was FANTASTIC. It had bacon, cheese, brisket and Texas BBQ sauce. It came together beautifully. I will get this exact sandwich again and the carrot cake next time I’m back. My friend got the Yardbird and he said it was excellent. Definitely recommend this place!!

I was there with a party of 5 and we absolutely loved it. The waiter we had was a Rockstar. He consistently checked on us, filled our drinks without prompting, and took care of our table. I had the Yardbird and a side of Mash, and it was excellent. We had also ordered the bbq sampler and wow! The brisket, pulled pork, wings, sausage, and everything else quickly disappeared! Lol Overall, we had an excellent experience, and I will be back when I'm in town next. Thank you for giving us an excellent experience!

This is an old style dive bar in the heart of the "D". Jennie, the bartendress, was extremely helpful when I came in needing quarters for parking. She was on it. When I settled in, I ordered the Phill
