Honestly, this was my 3rd time going to this place. The customer service is always A1. If you want to try something like coleslaw, brisket, pulled pork, etc. Just ask. If you don't like something just let them know and they will take your feedback with appreciation. On this trip there I told them I enjoyed everything but had to add salt and pepper to the Mac & cheese. They said "Okay, I'll add a little more salt and pepper on the next batch." I mean seriously, from dealing with bad customer service service at all these other fast food restaurants. Then coming to Midtown and feel like your opinion on THEIR food actually matters. "Just shut up and take my money." HA! Between the delicious food and amazing customer service the only thing I kind of want them to change is being able to stay and eat. However, part of me feel like if they had a dining area then that personal experience wouldn't be there. This place is a must try! The brisket was so tender, chicken wings fried or smoked are so amazing, and the rib tips are not tough....omg...thank you. The sides I had, baked beans had meat I believe brisket, so good, the collard greens, ain't my wife's but they are the best I've had outside the home.
Stopped by this new nearby spot to grab lunch and wow, it was amazing! The best smokehouse in town and a must try! The meat is smoked to perfection and just melts in your mouth. Some of the best soul food I’ve had in a long time. Go see Mark, he’ll put together the best platter!
I have had nothing but great experiences at this restaurant. The food is amazing. The customer service is amazing and the atmosphere is amazing spectacular dishes made from scratch something. You don’t see too often and the friendly hospitality was very inviting and friendly. I would definitely definitely refer my friends family And clients to this establishment.
My review of Midtown Smokehouse - Midtown Smokehouse delivers the kind of meal that reminds you why smoked meat is king. I ordered the ribs and macaroni, and both came out strong—tender ribs with a deep smoky flavor that pulled clean off the bone, and creamy mac and cheese that hit all the comfort notes without being overdone. The balance between bold flavor and quality preparation showed me this kitchen knows what it’s doing. Service matched the food. The team moved with confidence—attentive without hovering, quick without rushing you through your meal. That combination of solid food and solid service is harder to find than it should be, and it’s exactly why I’d recommend Midtown Smokehouse to anyone looking for a meal that satisfies on all fronts. If you’re in the area and want a spot that respects your time, your appetite, and your taste buds, this is it. I’d go back without hesitation, and I’d bring friends who appreciate barbecue done right.
I had a nice experience walking in automatically.The cook spoke and said, hello and asked was it my first time visiting, I told him, yes, I was offered a small piece of brisket, which was very tender, which I can't wait to go back for by the way. Cashier (A'aniya) was very nice as well. She had suggestionsto offer. Overall, it was a nice place.Nice atmosphere and nice people.I will definitely come back! 8/10.....
The food was delicious!!! This place had great reviews so I thought I’d give it a try, and I’m happy I did. I ordered the large brisket platter, with sides of potato wedges and baked beans. The portion sizes are definitely filling. I also had their smoked wings, which are very juicy and had an amazing flavor. This place is definitely worth checking out the next time you’re in the mood for some good BBQ.
The best bbq I ever had in my life . The food was so good and fresh. There was nothing I didn’t like . I was passing by from Toledo Ohio and came across this takeout restaurant. The customer service was amazing mark was very polite and nice , he offered us a sample of brisket and I couldn’t leave the store without it it was seasoned and cooked to perfection and so was everything else I had . Omg I’m a forever customer. I hope to see them open a sit down restaurant in the near future. Their place is a 100/10 . My entire experience was a 10/10 from the money I stepped a foot thru their door. His bless you and your business. I’ll be taking the extra drive for this bbq
When I say this is the ABSOLUTE BEST Smokehouse BBQ in Michigan, I mean it!!! I have never tasted something so amazing and delicious! Fantastic, Flavorful... Fabulous! Mark and his family are also really nice and helpful. Everything I ordered was 1000/10! I'm so happy. Thank you for that experience!
