Slows regularly appears on lists of the best barbecue in Michigan and has also been featured on TV. Business Insider says:

"Slows has been a staple of the Detroit neighborhood of Corktown for over 20 years, per Eater. It gained such a following that its Yardbird sandwich (smoked chicken, mushrooms, cheddar, bacon, and house honey mustard barbecue sauce) was featured on an episode of "Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America."

And the sandwiches aren't the only thing you'll want to sink your teeth into at Slows Bar BQ. Enjoy an order of saucy burnt ends, award-winning ribs, mac and cheese, pit-smoked baked beans, coleslaw, and a side of cornbread.

Pair any of their amazing BBQ dinner choices with a cold craft beer or a Slows Sangria.
