Slows Bar-B-Q

When it comes to food I'm usually open to try new things, except with sea food and fish. I'm extremely picky when trying food like that, but Slows Bar-B-Q is a restaurant that I enjoy eating at in Detroit and I have actually been there quite recently. This place is located on Michigan Ave by 14th Street. Out of all the times I've been to Detroit I never heard of Slows Bar-B-Q until my cousin told me to try them out. They've been a favorite of mine ever since! They aren't too pricey, very reasonable I would say. They recently added a new room and bar with tons of new craft beer to choose from. This place is definitely a friendly environment and a fun place to go to with friends to watch sports events and whatnot. If you're a beer drinker then Slows is a great place for you. They have so much beer to choose from that I haven't even heard of most of the brands. They serve the craft and specialty kind of beer that I'm not familiar with although they must be tasty because my dad loves them. They also serve wine which I like because wine is one of my favorites. Circa, Improvisation is my favorite wine there. It's a white wine with a peach flavor to it and it's even better if it's chilled.
Now on to their food! Their baby back ribs are one of my favorite entrees on the menu! My mother always orders her ribs burnt and I find myself ordering them burnt too, my dad and brother think it's gross but I love them burnt. It gives it a different kind of flavor. "The Genius" is a sandwich you can order there and I really like it. It consists of chicken with a sweet sauce over it topped with coleslaw and dill pickle strips. It kind of sounds like it would be gross but it's actually pretty good. Their BBQ Wings is a must get whenever you go there. They are delicious and of course you get a selection of sauces to choose from. I usually get spicy because I love spicy food. They have a bunch of sides to choose from such as waffle fries, cornbread, coleslaw, potato salad, beans, and mac-n-cheese. I've only tried their waffle fries, coleslaw, and mac-n-cheese when it comes to their sides. I usually don't go outside my box when it comes to picking sides. It's a rare occasion when we order dessert but when we do, we order "The Chuck Norris" which is a chocolate and Oreo brownie with coffee ice cream and hot fudge. It is delicious!  Slows also does take out and catering! 
They have a community parking lot for their customers to park in. It's 3$ and that fee pays the guards and maintains the lot. Also, whatever surplus funds they have they donate to the Roosevelt Park which is awesome!
So I definitely recommend this restaurant to you guys if you haven't been there yet.

Slows also has their own Facebook page and Twitter!
