Detroit Area BBQ Restaurants

I was reading some posts tonight on various internet web sites about bbq and noticed an "anonymous" poster who implied that Michigan had "more than a few" bbq restaurants.

I have to say that in my area of the Michigan, there really aren't that many bbq restaurants. The one restaurant that I have been to serves their spare ribs whole and smothered in sauce. That is to say that this restaurant doesn't serve a St. Louis style rib (my personal preference) and the ribs had a lot of grizzle that hadn't been trimmed off and they were smothered in a sauce that was not particularly good.

If you know of some good bbq restaurants in the Detroit area, drop me an e-mail. I'd be interested in checking them out. I'll post my impression of them here on the blog.

I go to Laurel Park Mall all the time. I haven't been to Tony Roma's there, but I've been to Tony Roma's in other areas of the country. I always enjoy going to the locally owned restaurants as much as possible. I try to stay away from chains if possible. Not that I have anything against chains, but I enjoy supporting the owner operators too. It's not bbq, but there's a new hamburger joint in down town Plymouth that is pretty good. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd recommend it the next time you're in Plymouth. We went downtown to check out the ice sculptures last weekend.

bbqguy, Just got your link from the HomeBBQ site. We're practically neighbors. I live just a few suburbs to the east of you. I don't know of many BBQ restaurants that you could try but I certainly know of one you shouldn't try... Famous Dave's in Westland. Probably the worst ribs I have ever eaten in my life. All sauce, oversmoked... terrible. Tony Roma's in the Laurel Park mall weren't bad. Pricy though. Other than that. Don't know of any others. Memphis Smoke used to have pretty decent BBQ.. but I don't know if they're still around. peace... jim
