    City Barbeque boxes for My Free lunch at work. Nicely packed with either pulled pork, chicken, Brisket, vegan black bean. 12/16/2024

    Review #505 Monday, 12/30/2024 My review is based on a Box Lunch Sandwich with 2 sides that I enjoyed eating at home from a Christmas work luncheon catered on Monday 12/16/2024 from City Barbeque. The Management company ordered many flavors of City's famous tender meats such as pulled pork, brisket, chicken and black bean burger, along with 2 sides to complete the combo lunch boxes. My sandwich was 1/4# pulled pork that was in a foam cup plain so I added City Barbeque famous sauce to mix together. A large soft roll and container of pickles topped off my half of a sandwich. (Ate other half for dinner) My two sides was a cup of creamy Mac and Cheese and a cornbread loaf with honey package. The lunch sandwich was delicious with tender pork meat too. The sauce was tasty and satisfying with 3 crunchy Pickles. I added honey to the Cornbread which was fantastic! Oh My Deeeelicious on their creamy Mac and Cheese Cup. Photos all are attached. Thanks again City for amazing foods! Check out their catering website or order at citybbq.com/catering. City Barbeque has been in business for 20 years serving spicy and sweet tasting meats, sides and so much more from delicious foods to taste and enjoy year round. Thank you City Barbeque in Troy for your hard work and efforts with so many lunch choices and delicious sides prepared to satisfy so many work appetites! I look forward to stopping in at this location to sit down and enjoy another meal such as My Tasty Dinner in the New Year Of Yummy 2025 !

    I found my new barbecue spot. Beef brisket was delicious. They have a variety of 4 or 5 different sauces you can try as well. This was my first time eating there and I'll definitely be going back. If you enjoy a good barbecue, go check out this place in Troy. The inside is nice too.

    2 meat, 2 side plate for takeout. Brisket, pulled pork, corn pudding, hush puppies.

    I hadn't been to City Barbecue in quite a long time - since before they moved to this location, when they used to be in a plaza on Big Beaver. I'm still in their e-club though, And recently they've been sending me a lot of deals, including this week, when they sent me a free two meat, two side plate, which was too much to resist, so I stopped by for lunch today. They have curbside which was excellent. When I pulled up, I clicked a button on my phone, on their website, and my food came out very quickly. I believe they also offer this on their app. I ordered brisket, which normally is a $3 upcharge; pulled pork; hush puppies; and corn pudding. It also comes with Texas toast. The brisket was really, really good and a lot better than I had remembered. The pulled pork was decent but did have a lot of fatty pieces, which is not my preference. The hush puppies were also very good, which I remembered from the last time I did take out, but the corn pudding was a little more mushy than I would like. Overall they've made me a new fan and I will stop by this location again when I'm in the area. They also have a drive-thru, which is super convenient. I don't remember what was there before but my guess is it was a fast food place.

    TLDR: This barbecue place was underwhelming, with some meats better than others. The service was…read morerelatively quick, and the outdoor seating was clean. There is likely better barbecue in the area. Each meat varied heavily in quality, so they will be rated individually below. I ordered the Pitmaster's Platter, which included multiple samples of the meats. Meats Beef Brisket (2/5): For some reason, this brisket was extremely dry. There was no moisture between the meat fibers. When doing the brisket bend test over a finger, the brisket barely even moved. The bark had the texture of jerky. I would not recommend this meat option. Pulled Pork (3/5): The pulled pork was moist in some places and dry in others. This meat was extremely average. There were some parts of the pulled pork with a heavy smoke flavor, which I did appreciate. Pulled Chicken (2/5): This was just as dry as the brisket. There were small portions that did have some moisture, but I could not finish the dry portions. Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage (4/5): This meat was the best among the options. Incredibly juicy, heavy on the seasoning, and the cheese was oozing out of the sausage. If I were to come back, I would order this again. Ribs (2/5): Again, just as dry as the other meats. There was no pull, and the meat was tough on the outside. Sides Mac & Cheese (3/5): This macaroni and cheese was nothing special, despite other reviews raving about it. It is a standard mac and cheese with slightly soggy breadcrumbs on top. Coleslaw (5/5): Somehow, this was the best part of the meal. The coleslaw tasted extremely fresh. There was just enough sauce to coat the vegetables without taking away from their quality and crunch. The coleslaw being the best part of the meal says a lot about this establishment. I do not think I will be coming back here again.

At each table gloves, chopsticks, hand sanitizer, plastic straws, and plastic utensils were provided. Which is such a thoughtful touch. The fried chicken was SUPER juicy and tender with a cornflake fried batter covered in chosen sauces. There were so many flavor options to choose from, which made it fun to decide. The pieces were huge, so the price felt completely worth it. The servers were especially kind and patient with us as first-timers. They took the time to explain the most popular flavors and gave great recommendations, which we really appreciated. The only downside were the sides. The onion rings and fries didn't seem to have any seasoning. So, they tasted a bit plain compared to the bold, flavorful chicken. I'd definitely come back for the chicken alone. If you're craving crispy, juicy fried chicken with tons of flavor options, this is a spot worth trying!

Arkin's is a small carry-out only place that sells sandwiches, dinners, and meat by the pound. The sides are à la carte; except for the dinners. Before we even get to the food, let's talk about the staff. They are some of the sweetest and friendliest people you could ever meet! Even with the place being busy, they didn't rush us to order or to get out of the door. They chatted with us and made us feel welcome - as if we'd been going there for years! And every time we return it's like talking to old friends. It's so very refreshing in the current social climate! Now the food: 'Delicious' is too weak a word to describe it! I got the chicken sandwich, which came with slaw and jalapeño pickles. The sliced chicken breast was broasted and had a nice crispy skin. The seasoning was so good I didn't even want to put sauce on it! The slaw was awesome and I didn't detect mayo, so I was able to enjoy it. I added a side of greens, which were delicious. Not everyone can make greens.... My husband got a brisket sandwich - also with slaw and jalapeño pickles included. He got a side of potato wedges, which were broasted and seasoned to perfection. I almost regretted my greens choice .. almost.... The piece of brisket my husband let me taste was awesome - and I hate brisket; but not Arkin's! We filled our bellies that day and went back the next day to buy a dinner for my dad plus some meat by the pound for us to enjoy over the snowy weekend. Funny, they didn't seem surprised to see us back so soon! LOL. My dad enjoyed his meal too, and we gave him directions to the restaurant. Our other return visits have been equally as pleasant. The quality of the staff and food never disappoint! Very happy to have our expectations exceeded in this case. Great food, great staf

    Absolutely delicious food!! Amazing service!…read moreGreat clean dining area with plenty of parking!

    Walking into Detroit 75 Kitchen in Madison Heights for a quick lunch, my expectations were high!…read moreFrom a visual standpoint, the food looks simply irresistible on social. Before I even got to the food, the restaurant itself made a great first impression. The property is incredibly well maintained inside and out. There's a spacious outdoor patio for Michigan summer days, along with plenty of indoor seating ranging from communal tables for larger groups to individual booths if you're flying solo. It's a thoughtfully designed space that feels welcoming no matter why you're there. Now, let's talk about the food. I'll admit something that surprised me. I've been to Detroit probably 50 times, and I honestly can't remember ever hearing about a Detroit-style cheesesteak. Judging by the walls covered in awards and accolades, though, it's clearly something they're known for. The sandwich certainly sounds like a winner on paper: ribeye and sirloin, provolone and Swiss cheeses, roasted mushrooms and peppers, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, sweet pickled jalapeños, aioli, house-made vinaigrette, all served on a freshly baked sesame roll. I mean... what's not to love? Unfortunately, this is where my experience took a turn. The ingredients themselves are good. The flavors are there. The problem is the execution. The ratios are simply off. The freshly baked roll completely dominates the sandwich, overwhelming everything inside it. The steak gets lost between all that bread, and instead of each bite showcasing the beef, cheese, and vegetables working together, the bread becomes the star--and that's not what you want from a cheesesteak. I do want to give credit where it's due. The portions are generous, and I especially appreciated that they take the time to make their own dipping sauces for the fries. Little details like that don't go unnoticed. There are plenty of positives here, and it's easy to see why Detroit 75 Kitchen has earned such a loyal following. But as someone who takes sandwiches seriously, I think this one is technically flawed. A great sandwich is all about balance, and for me, this one never found it. I genuinely wanted to love it. This sandwich lover just couldn't get behind the way it was built.
