    The Mac and Cheese & Jalepeno corn bread is amazing. The Cherry molasses BBQ sauce is delicious and the BBQ is moist and tasty. Favorite BBQ place downtown better than Slows and the service is great

    Lose the other BBQ place who's name is synonymous with their service! Redsmoke rules! Start with an order of BBQ chips & fried pickles (yes both). Put the Michigan Cherry Molasses sauce on everything!

    Easily surpasses the infamous Slow's BBQ for food quality, presentation and service. Highly recommend the brisket & pablano sauce; andoullie sausage was also very flavorful. Good beer selections!

    Applewood Smoked Chicken- delicious, tender, flavorful. Pulled pork- excellent. Raspberry margarita made by Stephanie- the best. Pass on the catfish bites. Everything else=yum.

    Corn break w/ crunchy sweet buttery top and made in iron skillets?! Totally not your momma's corn bread! Fresh squeezed lemonade, 4 bbq sauces to choose from - fave Mississippi Mudd! Get the brisket!

    Pulled pork, apple smoked chicken and candies yams are amazing. Great atmosphere! If you don't like super spicy sauce, try the roasted poblano.

    brisket is awesome as for the sausage a little on the dry side and the peppers were ice cold and no garlic.....texas toast on the plate cool for presentation but should have toasted both sides..

    tip if you want good ribs go to Texas Roadhouse. The pulled pork is a forsure must try along with the mashed sweet potatoes.

    Pulled pork sandwich is very yummy! Give yourself some extra time; they have a more relaxed environment so don't expect a speedy lunch.

    Never order an Old Fashioned there. My whole drink was bright red, frothy, and full of sugar. I don't know if it even had whiskey in it. Strangest interpretation of a whiskey cocktail ever.
