Eddie Smoke's Bbq

To me a bbq is all about the ribs. Detroit really does not have great ribs. The bbq's tend to over cook them and leave them in the warmers to long. Eddies really does ribs perfect. When they come out of the smoker, they are meaty, not over cooked, toothsome which is great, not fall of the bone, which to me is bad texture, light grey on the side, not brown and the tips are also great. That is the good news. The bad news is, like many places the ribs are smoked over night and are great at lunch time, but not at dinner. Good news, on the weekend they have a batch come out around 7 pm, so they are as near to perfect as you can get. Call to reserve your night batch of ribs and talk to Eddie, not the employees. I have tried all their sides. They are all good. The potato salad looks like too much mayonnaise, but is not too much. I prefer my coleslaw not chopped up, but although chopped, it is extremely good. The Mac and cheese is very good. The collard greens are good but I am not much of a fan. The baked beens are great. I am not a fan of the green beans as these are cooked to limp and I prefer, not done, and crispy. All and all the sides are very good. I have read they run out of stuff, this to me is a good thing, it means he keeps a small supply so, things are fresh. I have not run into the problem because I always call first. Try the night ribs, and sides and you will be a fan.

Well, I tried this place and I was sorely disappointed. The food was ok but I wasn't blown away. The customer service sucks (no waitresses), no drink with your order, no air, and they were out of nearly every damn thing. I couldn't even try the green beans, Mac and chz or **** else that I wanted.... It was terrible and I will never come back nor will I recommend this place to friends or family. They are so unorganized and they don't even have the BASICS covered smh never again.

This was my second choice for ribs but it will be my first choice from now on. I'm not big on sauce so I'm really glad it's placed in a container on the side. Greens, Mac& cheese baked beans are good. Ribs are delicious and tried something new called chicken tips. A pleasant surprise with this item! Will definitely order it again. Will try the brisket next time!

The ribs are super good. They are meaty, really good flavor in every bite. We have been here several times over the past few months and each time the ribs have been worth the trip across town.
