Slightly greasy but not too much and the taste is there. I especially like their burgers. SERVICE: friendly and accommodating. I will note that my friend had tried to contact them about a mistake with a to-go order but other than that their service has been great. But beware with to go orders but YMMV. AMBIANCE: diner/sports bar. Can be loud but not too loud. Note if a game is on there may be cheering. Casual and comfortable. PRICE: well priced... if I remember correctly about $15 for a burger.

Ribs smoky and savory, flavorful from first to last. Beans delightfully sweet and tangy. The greens extremely well seasoned with some heat. I went from so hungry to absolutely ready to lay down for a food nap. This is a true personal-service hole in the wall. They were out of a few things. But what I got was perfect, so why would I care?

The ribs were old reheated junk and super dry. The brisket was tough and greasy. The sides were unpleasant. We ordered takeout and threw half of the food away because it was gross.

The spot is casual, but clean and well organized! There's a bar with plenty of TVs for sports, and then other tables for groups of 2-6 people! I grabbed a spot at the bar since I was there by myself. The bartender was pretty casual, but efficient and friendly during my stay! I went with the classic Rush Hour 4, since that was what I had seen most on social media! It was delicious perfection! The fried rice is fresh, with some veggies to give it a bit of uniqueness. The chicken tenders are the star...crispy, juicy, lovely flavor! The addition of the Yum Yum sauce is lovely for the chicken OR the rice! I can't wait to come back and bring my friends!

Tender Lovin Chix moved into a sizable brick&mortar restaurant out of what I assume was a successful food truck. My to-go order came out of the kitchen quickly (~10 min) which I appreciate but I waited awkwardly at the host stand and ordered food from the bar. There seems to be table service but only one server for the whole dining room and no host. Hopefully it's just a wrinkle that will get smoothed out over time. There are TVs all over the place so the game is the vibe. The interior is clean and there's a spacious bar that looks comfortable to eat and drink at. There is plenty of seating inside and also patio chairs and tables on the sidewalk. You'll find a few parking spaces out back. So, it's got more going than your average sports bar but still seems like more of a casual spot than sit-down dining. My chicken sandwich was juicy inside and crispy outside with a buttery soft bun holding it all together. The side of fried rice had a good texture and mild, pleasant flavor. The onion rings were classic - thick and fried crisp. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. It's real comfort food that will hit just right when paired with a beer or cocktail and a win from your favorite local sports team. I didn't see many veggie options on the menu which was not a surprise. Bottom line - if you want some fried chicken, this spot is worth a shot.

I could eat here every day. (But I probably shouldn't.) When…read moreI roll in to bb.q Chicken I know I'm in for a treat. I usually order boneless wings, either soy garlic or honey garlic. I'll sit down and tuck into 8 of them. So tasty. Next time I might try the galbi or gangnam-style. So many flavours to pick from! If you're in a hurry, best to order ahead, as it takes about 15 minutes to prepare. In any case, well worth the wait. They do have some inside seating, and K-pop on a video monitor for your dining entertainment.

And unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a big market for it around here. But the food here was phenomenal. I especially miss the Burnt Ends platter with corn pudding. It's also too bad, because they used to just be a really popular, small spot just up the street. Maybe they will come back in some form.

Everything tastes the way they looked, it was on point! The place has its own parking spot, not big but enough. You pick if you want to eat inside or outside.

They were open until 11 and had a great beer selection with an inside/outside option. My wife wanted to watch some of the Stanley Cup so we opted for inside. We arrived around 830 and were able to gain a seat at the bar. Bartender was amazing. Very friendly and personable. Based on his interactions we decided to get chicken tenders (Nashville) and fries and a few more beers. Overall this is a great, inviting environment. I can't recommend visiting here enough. Great food and great beer options. This is a stop you don't want to miss! Definitely worth 5 stars.

Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.
