Best brisket I have had outside of Texas. Blackened catfish is great, so is the jambalaya , though they both lacked salt. I could eat the corn bread every day.
Worth the wait!! I got the brisket and hubby got the ribs . Brisket was the best bbq I have ever had! Awesome! lOVE the apple bbq sauce ;) definite return trip planned
One of the best restaurants in Detroit. 2 entrees feed 3 people - pulled pork and brisket should be on your list. Same with mac n cheese and cornbread . Killer local draft selection too.
I've been 3 times to this place when I visited Detroit. They have a huge selection of draft beers ! I would recommend St Louis Spareribs . Sandwiches were also good.
The legends are true. This place backs its massive reputation. Mac & cheese is a must. Definitely go splitsies on the platter meat orders. There is more than enough to share.
Baby back ribs , pulled pork , Mac and cheese and waffle fries . Mix the NC and apple sauce with your ribs . Best BBQ in Detroit ! Be ready to wait about an hour to get a table, but it's worth it
All items are great, but if your first time. Don’t miss the ribs or the triple pork sandwich . Mac&cheese a side (very good also) bad thing that has no parking
Delicious sandwiches and beer . The baked beans are spicy and probably not what you're used to. We had the longhorn and the reason, both of which were delicious. Beer list is exemplary.
Try "The Reason," a pulled pork sandwich made to perfection, and don't forget to add some of their signature BBQ sauces to it. Try their spicy and apple sauces . They make a perfect sandwich perfecter.
I highly recommend the triple combination—some of the best brisket , pork , and chicken I’ve had in a long time. Definitely try the spicy and apple BBQ sauces .
When you go to Slows, you gotta be strategic. I went as a group of 3 and shared the pulled pork , brisket , and ribs with 6 sides. It was brilliant and everything was delicious. Get cornbread & brisket .
Fugetaboutit! It's always busy, don't be intimidated by the crowd or wait. They are fast and service is excellent. Seating at the bar is first come first serve and it's where I always sit. Mac n chees
Best Mac & Cheese I have ever had in my life. I would visit Detroit again just to taste that mac & cheese.The BBQ is excellent as well , and a very deep craft beer selection .
Beef Brisket and waffle fries were really good. Didn't care much for the Mac n cheese . Lots of beer options ! Reasonably priced. Definitely want to come back.
Fantastic BBQ located down town Detroit by the old Tigers Stadium . You will absolutely love the food. They have an almost unmatched selection of imported beer from around the world too!
Surf and turf : blackened catfish and brisket , was the bomb. The mac and cheese tempted me and was happy to have caved to this carb-loaded demon. It was sooo good!
I was pleasantly surprised at how good Slow's was. Living in the south I cook and eat a lot of barbecue . We had the pulled pork sandwich . Good smoke and seasoning. Be prepared to wait!
Very good Bar B Q and good prices. Parking can be tricky. St Louis Cut with 2 sides.
“The "Hot Mess" was awesome. Homemade smoke dripping sauce off the charts. If you venture this way and like BBq , I reccomend.”- https://twitter.com/dan_dunleavy/status/1114323856339230722?s=21
Good food, good people and a great city : Slow's has it all, and then some. [Eater 38 Member]
Word of mouth has made Brian Perrone’s baked mac legendary. And even though it’s bursting with flavor, it’s made with only one type of cheese : cheddar . Read more
Ho-ly cow (or maybe pig ?). This place lived up to the hype in my book . The Triple Threat Pork sandwich was AMAZING. I can't wait to return to Detroit just so I can come back for more Slows.
Long wait on Fridays after work but worth every minute.. Baby rack ribs and pulled pork combo are a must get! side with mac n' cheese and waffle fries . Good beer selection too.
Everything is good! Be hungry. Authentic BBQ . Great value and ambiance. Recommend the “Hot Mess”...it was awesome!
Amazing draft beer + whiskey selection and 6 different BBQ sauces !
SO worth the wait! The Yardbird Sandwich with apple BBQ sauce and a side of Mac n cheese is an amazing meal! They have great beers on tap and the Chuck Norris dessert is PHENOMENAL!!
The draft list here is awesome! I've tried the pulled pork and the 1/2 chicken and both were amazing! The best sides have to be the mac n cheese and the mashed sweet potatoes .
I've been here a couple times and all their barbecue is amazing. I also recommend getting The Reason if you're looking for a great pulled pork sandwich
The pulled pork sandwich (called "The Reason" here) has big chunks of tender meat. I couldn't find one sauce that I really loved, so be sure to test them all before sandwich use.
Come before 6:30 on a week night to sit right down with no wait. Afterwards go next door to The Sugar House for drinks. This will be the best night of your week.
The Coney Fries , Brisket , and Pulled pork were all delicious. Great Craft beer selection to boot!
baby back ribs with apple barbecue sauce . brisket with apple barbecue sauce . ANYTHING with apple barbecue sauce
Very popular spot great ribs the sweet potato mash came recommend. Highly recommend
We all had different entrees and were all excellent! Desserts were fantastic and our waiter gave us exceptional service will definitely go back!!!
Coney Fries with Brisket were amazing. Mac N Cheese was great as were ribs .
Great ribs , good service and good atmosphere.
Well cooked BBQ and the sides are good too. Put this on you list of places to try while in Downtown Detroit.
Always get the Mac and Cheese as a side. The fried chicken special on this visit was fantastic! Service exceeded expectations.
don't come here if you are planning to be naked in the next decade. baby back ribs are incredible. mac and cheese and cornbread are everything you've dreamed
If you go by yourself or with a date avoid waiting for a table just by going straight to the bar , it's first in, first served.
Oh my good this food is good. Who knew. BBQ in Detroit . They use Zingerman's bread . Try the new style brisket !
If you're in Detroit this is a must! Great staff and awesome food.
One of Detroit's most popular restaurants , serving excellent BBQ ribs and pork . Be ready to wait 2+ hours for a table or call Slows-To-Go in Midtown (877-569-7246).
Nothing will slow you down eating the brisket here! Especially in a sandwich . Try EVERY BBQ sauce and drink a beer for me, would ya ????????
Solid BBQ served quick. For individual portions, try the sandwiches . Great selection of sauces too, including the apple BBQ sauce .
Amazing food and a top notch beer selection . This is a place you must stop at if visiting Detroit.
Full rack of baby back rubs and cheesy waffle fries . They always have good IPA on tap too. Great sauces.
The brisket is delicious!! Goes well with either (or all) mac and cheese , waffle fries , coleslaw , and/or cornbread .
Some of the best BBQ in Detroit . Great team, and food. Just make sure to get there early, it gets a little crowded . Suggested: The Yardbird with a little NC Sauce
Amazing meats of all sorts. Definitely try their Mac&Cheese too ????
Swan was a great server and the food was FANTASTIC - we had the Carolina ribs, brisket, and the applewood chicken, all highly recommended!! - Reynaldo Agama
Best ribs in michigan been coming here for almost 30 yrs now - Linda Brazier
Great seasonal menu but of four different drinks, my favorite was the Queen's Park Swizzle which is on the permanent menu! - Kirsten Alana
New Amsterdam bar, right field 2nd floor, is amazing. Couches, outdoor fireplace, good views and ambiance. - Kate H.
