The ribs are always amazingly tender & the sauce is so good. Customer service is always pleasant. I travel a little ways to get there. However, when I want some Ribs I take that ride. Always on point. The owner is a very nice lady. She is hands on and there every time I go. BBQ Central for the read more

Food is always cooked to perfection. Served within 15 minutes, you did not call your order in. Staff looks very professional.

Interesting experience and no vegan options really sucked but they are makes on Sundays so the food must be tasty

I love the ribs, mac and cheese, and chicken. The peach cobbler is good as well; This is one of the best BBQ restaurants in the city

I always enjoy the food, but today they gave away some pulled pork sandwiches while I was there to taste test... I gave it to my mother and said it was good... so keep it on the menu... read more

The salmon is always on point! Cooked to perfection and the bbq glaze is just mmm mmm good! I didn't give this 5 stars because the green beans were mushy and didn't taste good at all. The container was packed to the rim so when I opened the lid of course green bean juice spilled all over my desk. I've tried the greens before and didn't like those--they were mushy as well like canned greens doctored up. The yams were also good! No complaints. I'll stick to my normal sides moving forward. Mac and yams--I haven't been able to find a veggie I love from this place. read more

I've been on a hunt for beef ribs, A massive short rib would be money lol, so I started with central bbq no short rib unfortunately but ordered half rack beef ribs. Not bad meat really tender just swimming in bbq sauce probably shoulda gotten it on the side but that just messes with how your really supposed to have em lol. And then I see turkey leg so had to get it. Which honestly was one of the best turkey legs fried I've ever had. Seasoning on this bad boy was A1 highly recommend stopping in here. Also if anyone's got the stop for that massive short rib drop me a message for the love of God read more

Very disappointed, made an online order and sent someone to pick it up they only gave him the fries with no explanation as to where the rest of my order was. Called up there and the guy that answered was very nonchalant and said they were out of everything I ordered. I don't understand how they texted to say they received the order and then texted again to say the order was ready...NOT ONE text saying they are out of ribs and chicken and I'm still waiting on my refund....uggg read more

Ordered ahead on doordash due to the holiday. Got notification they were ready ahead of expected time. Tried beef and pork whole slab ribs. They were fall off the bone tender, sauce was delicious. Wish I ordered more...will have to get a slab for just me. read more

This was first time to BBQ Central, I got whole BBQ chicken, 1/2 slab ribs and sides. I must say the food was great. The young lady who took my order was very nice. This will be my new BBQ place to come to. read more

This by far is the worst of the worst supposed Bbq joints Ever like How are you supposed to be labeled as a "Soul food" Spot But making canned yams. You guys gotta stop buying Meijer's brand potato salad to because no way The service was a drag as well I give y'all that but the food was a no go besides the ribs They were good but A no go unless I get a whole slab of ribs next time. read more

Finally got a chance to check out this barbecue joint, the interior is very fast foodie. They do however have tables along the window for waiting and eating. When you enter there's a giant menu on the back wall. We tried the beef rib and decided to get their burger with fries, pork rib tips and their take on fried biscuits. The beef rib was very enjoyable. I got it with the sauce on the side and it was juicy and tender. The burger and fries were okay. The burger itself was a little dry. The rib tips were also all right. The ones we received weren't very meaty. The biscuits were really good and hot. Once they are finished cooking they are drizzled in syrup. The service was great. The wait for our food was moderate, about 20 minutes. There's on street parking. I honestly can't remember if there was a side parking lot. I do recall however that it is wheelchair and stroller friendly. read more

If this place was not in my neighborhood and I wasn't extremely hungry right now they would not see me because the service is so poor that they charge you $1.00 for a barbecue sauce which comes on the meat.. that is absolutely pure nonsense and to be honest they should stop saying they sell barbecue chicken because it's cooked in an electric smoker in their back room This chicken has never been near a grill and once you eat it you can tell that it's basically just baked chicken. No smoke no smoke ring not even a cross hatch pattern on the outside of the chicken skin which is oily and clearly not grilled or barbecued. this is baked chicken Do not ever take your order out of this place without checking it while you are at the counter, because they do not do refunds or adjustments and they quite often make mistakes. Their prices are high not for good reason either, so quite honestly I just patronized them because they are close to my house and sometimes I have time to kill while trying to give restaurants a second chance. today was confirmation that I didn't need to give them a second chance. they're as awful the fifth time as they've been all the other four times. mostly it's the service But the food, they should know better then to say that they have barbecue chicken when it's smoked/baked. because if you eat the chicken look at the bones and in fact look at the skin on the chicken you can see clearly it's never been near a grill. Their false advertising, bad food, overcharging for things you don't order, horrible counter service. what more do I need to say I won't be going back. that's it read more

The collard greens taste like they were straight out of the can with nothing added except water. Rib tips were basically rib bone nuggets. Small with barely any meat. Some were bone only. The mac n cheese was good. Paying $58+ for a rib tip dinner with fake greens and no meat was very disappointing. read more

I am very picky when it comes to BBQ but I'm happy to say I have found a new BBQ spot in the city! I was greeted when I walked in and ordered at the counter. The wait was super reasonable and the food was worth the wait. I got the BBQ Ribs and fries with sauce on EVERYTHING lol. My friend ordered the Salmon Sandwich and it was super fresh and cooked perfectly! Definitely recommend this spot if your looking for some good BBQ! read more

Hands down the best bbq besides my own. When it's too cold or I don't feel like bbqing but want some this is the only place I'd go! I even love the salmon sandwich. read more

I'm stunned that this place gets 3 stars...The beef ribs are out of this world! Love the Mac & cheese. The greens were terrific! The issue I have is with the pricing. It's make no sense. Other than the weird pricing, this place is terrific! read more

Terrible service!!! We left without getting our food bc they were running an hour+ wait even though we ordered online for store pickup, smh! We understand places our running short staff but the staff that is there should practice good customer service because we are spendingPork Rib & Chicken our money to patronize your business. read more

I had the pleasure to go to this restaurant and had the BBQ rib tips with macaroni &'cheese & cabbage. My food was AMAZING, the rib tips were so juicy and tasty. I initially thought they were pricey, but you get what you pay for and i'm glad i did. My sides were good only wish i would have got the large size. lol. The only thing i wish is that they offer a corn muffin with the greens/cabbage to top the meal off. I'll be back soon. read more

A notch below average! Full slab of ribs The small end was burnt so bad it was inedible. The big end was tough, also the bbq sauce was thin and only on the top of the ribs, not the sides or bottom. Rib tips Very fatty, also the bbq sauce was thin and only on the top of the ribs, not the sides or bottom. Mac and cheese Very cheese really good, worth ordering again. Sweet potatoes Should be called semi-sweet potatoes. Cornbread Delicious the best cornbread I have ever gotten from a restaurant. In conclusion, I wouldn't order again, the meat was subpar. I brought a full slab and STRUGGLED to eat it, which makes this place a no for me. read more

I had never heard of this place. My BF came in the living room and said 'I just ordered a bunch of food, I'm about to go pick it up.' He came back with ribs, smoked wings, smoked breast, Mac & cheese, green beans and a red hot sausage. The ribs were great. I only eat ribs about once a year and this place made me want more already. The wings were seasoned great and adding a little of their BBQ sauce took them to a new level. My BF ate the red hot without even telling me there was one in the order LOL he said it was great. The green beans taste like my mom was in the back seasoning them from our ancestors. I've had better Mac & cheese but it was still good. On top of the great food the staff was professional and friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

I've driven by this place and when I saw on Postmates I said let me give them a try. First Rib tips were tender that's I point I must say I can not stand for any bbq spot with tuff meat. Second the sauce was good bbq fries were delicious but the green beans were not. I'll be back to try those wings soon. read more

I went to the one on Grand River in Detroit. Posted my review because the food was terrible for the $30 I spent. The owner really has a bad attitude when responding to reviews posted. My review is not the only one where the owner was not business like at all in replying....had the nerve to tell me Do not return because of my review. Like I really have money to just throw away...please!!!! The owner needs an attitude adjustment when it comes to people that has patronized their establishment read more

My wife went by here today to grab dinner for tonight. She said they had good service. Now the food the BBQ RIBS were nice and tender. The Mac was a bit bland but eatable. The greens taste like the Glory Greens in the can and the yams were pretty good. read more

Every time I've gone lately I have to check my packages to make sure everything is there I thought and counted on Mother's Day and thought all of my food was there instead of the beef ribs they gave me pork ribs I was very disappointed when I went back into the establishment the lady said well we're out of them and she didn't offer any replacements or anything this is the third time I've been there and something was missing I've called they don't answer the phone very disappointing but I try to support our businesses. read more

I ordered the Beef Ribs and Chicken dinner along with Peach Cobbler. It wins my award for the worst barbecue I've ever had. -The ribs were so overdone they were a soggy mush in a pile next to the bones. They mix bbq sauce with the ribs and the consistency was like a loose, greasy pulled pork (definitely not something you want in ribs). -The fried biscuit was unique. It was sweet and puffy like a small donut, it was the best thing I had in this meal. -The mac and cheese was bland (not very cheesy) and the baked beans were under-cooked. -Do not order the peach cobbler. It came packaged crammed in a small plastic container and was the consistency of soggy bread pudding mixed with slices of uncooked peaches. -The chicken was your typical chicken (for this type of place), not much flavor and doused with BBQ sauce. Speaking of the BBQ sauce it tastes like a slightly spiced ketchup. To top if off the bag leaked grease and sauce everywhere in my car. Pretty bad experience. Do yourself a favor and drive a little farther to find better BBQ. read more

The ribs used to be meatier, tender, and falling off the bone good! Here lately the ribs are dry, tough, and hard to chew. I don't mind paying for what I like but, these ribs cost too much and they don't taste like they used to. I recently placed a catering order. I purchased 4 ribs and every one of them were tough. This business will lose a lot of customers if they continue sale bad barbecue ribs. read more

First time here. From Joy Rd. & Dexter area. Rid tips were good,salmon was good, Mac & Cheese was good,greens were good,peach cobbler was good, and the biscuits where out of this world. I will be BACK read more

I had a bbq burger. It was cook to order med well and nicely season. Also tried their vegetable platter ( Mac and cheese, collard greens, yams and cabbage was delicious. They have good customer service! read more

Food is The bbq wings are always on point. I've had the first juicy and tender fried Turkey chops I've had at a restaurant here. The bbq fires actually come with a good amount of bbq sauce. My wife says the Mac and cheese is fire too. read more

Don't waste your money! How can you sell ribs (beef) and serve them room temperature? My bbq fried turkey leg dinner was missing the actual bbq sauce! For the amount I spent and the portions received I should have gone to The Turkey Grill or Club Celebrity!!! The lady taking the orders/answering the phone was rude (smart mouth). A customer asked what type of combos do you sell and she was real short with the customer "what do you mean combos?" Simple question! I try to patronize black-owned businesses, but not when you have others to choose from that give you better service. I just wasted my damn money and time. #TastyTuesdayFailure read more

I eat at all the locations and I have to say there new move and picking up a breakfast menu probably was their greatest downfall I ordered 1lb rib tips and I have 12 solid bones in that 1lb. out of all of that I had maybe 3 pieces strictly meat and they tasted like leftovers. The Mac n cheese was bland no better explanation the best thing from my order was baked beans. I know y'all one organ but healthy competition is needed because the Grand River location has y'all beat read more

New restaurant don't know if it's black owned or not but we are well represented. The staff is friendly and the ribs are tender and tasty. I haven't ordered anything other than the ribs and fries. Everything else seems a little pricey for me since there's a soul food place across the street that's a lot cheaper than what their menu reflects. My rating is based on my food and experience and I wish this place lots of success! read more
