    Add the Sweet & Zesty sauce with the Georgia Mustard sauce. The sweet is muted by the spice, but at a perfect balance. DO IT!

    Don't be shy, EVERY plate is delicious! Don't forget to try the sauces and save room for bread pudding! (so good your grandma will want the recipe)

    Damn good ribs. The BBQ spots in Detroit are slim pickings so it's nice to have options.

    If you like meat you should like this place. And if you want to spice it up, try the Wilbur's Revenge XXX Hot sauce.

    Yvonne is an excellent server! Ask for her by name and you won't be disappointed. Oh, and get dessert, it's all yummy :P

    Some changes have been made and not for the better. My rib tips were chewy and tough! They are mostly a pound of bones instead of "tips"! The food was old. Wow. I won't be coming back! 😩

    If you ask really nice a bunch of times, the waitress will cave in and stamp your lunch card at dinner time.
