    Great bbq! Small locations but big picnic tables to seat with friends and family, and the cashier/server was very friendly and informative at picking from some many good options. Did the 3x3 - highly recommend for two, unless you have a big appetite. Great option for the undecided as well This allows you to pick three meat (note: upcharges on brisket and/or ribs) and three sides. There are limited options on drinks, available is local cola brand/flavor and Pure Leaf Tea (both sweet or unsweetened). However, rolled with the punches and loved their selections on deserts, and merchandises/stickers. Definitely coming back in the future and highly recommended.

    I've only done takeout but service at the counter is always excellent. The brisket is very tender. It's my favorite item on the menu. Wednesday is $1 wings. I liked the wings with dry rub. One of the best restaurants in this neighborhood.

    I was in the area and really wanted some ribs. Not the standard, but some smoked ribs. Made the drive to Full Rack and knew I was in the right place as I smelled the aroma of a smoker before entering. Parking was easy as they are in a strip. The staff has always been pleasant. The options were plenty. They do a vote via text for a weekly special which is cool. I have tried the pork rib and beef rib specials which did not disappoint. They also have a reward program that you can earn discounts with. I've gotten a few in the last few months. If driving far then it's worth trying a variety of things. Things I've enjoyed: key lime bar, slab of ribs, baked beans which are made with beef, chicken, & beef ribs. Brisket was good but too much fat for me to try again. They have a variety of desserts, online ordering, and pretty good bbq sauce options that you can buy in a bottle or side. Yum!

    Updating my review after a large carry out order for a midday family birthday lunch for my father. First, I called to place the order which was fairly large. The lady who took the order was friendly and precise. In the past when placing large orders at other restaurants, I've felt like they act inconvenienced. The lady on who took my order was very helpful and patient. Another bonus, everything was correct. Also, it was ready at the time quoted. We got ribs, a couple burgers, Mac and cheese, brisket, beans, fries, coleslaw. Everything was delicious and fresh. For the price, we had a ton of food of great quality.

    Stopped here back in May but I forgot to post. Service was excellent. Just a small place with a few tables but mostly carry out. We tried a couple things, the meats were excellent. The Mac and cheese was just okay but maybe we got it on an off day. Cornbread was on the drier side, which I don't prefer but I know some do. Will definitely be back to try more of the sauces.

    If you're looking for a place that delivers both atmosphere and flavor, Full Rack Barbecue is a must-visit. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the authentic barbecue decor--it feels like a true Southern smokehouse, warm and inviting with just the right rustic charm. We ordered a full rack of ribs to share, and they did not disappoint. The ribs were outstanding--fall-off-the-bone tender, incredibly meaty, and coated in a delicious dry rub that packed just the right amount of flavor and spice. Every bite was a treat. The sides were just as impressive. Whether you're into the classics or something a little more unique, everything we tried was full of flavor. You can tell this place puts care into every part of the meal. Highly recommend Full Rack Barbecue to anyone in the area--whether you're a BBQ enthusiast or just craving a hearty, satisfying meal. We'll definitely be back!

    Southern bell smash burger special

    This place is a solid five out of five stars easily one of my favorite restaurants. I've been coming here since they first opened and haven't stopped; this review is long overdue. The staff is outstanding everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. The food is top-notch, offering high-quality BBQ at fair and reasonable prices. My personal favorite is the smash burgers, but everything I've tried has been consistently excellent. They also have a rewards program that's well worth it for regular customers, and the desserts are absolutely delicious. Overall, it's hard to beat the quality, value, and experience this place offers.

    Brisket sandwich with a spoonful of Cole slaw and the Mac and cheese.
    Lorraine F.

    This review is for the food truck that was at the St Clair Shores Farmers Market July 11th. An excellent sandwich from the food truck!! We both got the brisket sandwich with pickets and cole slaw. Gotta admit...very little Cole slaw. Barely a spoon full...I guess I thought it would be a side. But the sandwich was excellent...the meat is perfect. A nice bun. They have BBQ sauce in a squeeze bottle if you want more. I loved the Mac and Cheese. Very VERY cheesy with a good rich flavor. It's a food truck so the atmosphere is food truck! They work fast and are very helpful with questions you might have.

    I am very disappointed and won't be coming back. I ordered an extra cup of bbq sauce which opened up in the bag and ruined most of the food. I attempted to eat two pieces of the burnt ends, mind you they were drowned in the bbq sauce, and they were horrible. The meat was so tough and dried out it was like trying to chew on leather. $40 wasted, I won't be back. If I lived closer I would have went back for a refund or new food.

    I was really bummed when lazybones closed but Full Rack didn't disappoint! The cubandilla, smashburger, and chocolate pie all 10/10

    Green beans in water topped with grease.
    Karen S.

    The meat is good, smokey, and tender. The kids liked the Mac and cheese and the fries were great! The quart of green beans was 50% water with some scraps of pork fat and maybe a bit of cayenne, and, is it even conceivable that these came from a can?!? The have that watter- logged texture and that perfectly uniform cut and slightly grey color. The BBQ sauce was forgettable This isn't the place to eat if you have any dietary restrictions like low salt, fat, or carbs.

    Cubandilla

    Everything I get has been delicious. Their burgers are so good. Today I tried the quesadilla. Wow was this life changing.

    Full Rack has really upped its game since its opening. It gets most of its business from carry out, but there are 3 tables available for dine in. All of the food on the barbecue menu here is consistent. The "stay smoked" is the way to go if you're a barbecue lover. The smash burger is locally one of the best around. The prime rib sandwich, which is a December special, is delicious. Regardless of which main course you choose, the French fries, mac & cheese, and smoked beans are all top notch sides. I was disappointed when Moy's closed a couple years back, but we couldn't have asked for a better replacement in Full Rack.

The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and caring, but Will, the manager, truly sets the tone. It's obvious he deeply cares about his community, his customers, and his team. His leadership creates an atmosphere that makes people feel valued the moment they walk through the door. In fact, after one visit, my 11-year-old said, "When I grow up, I hope I can work for someone like Will because he's so kind." That says everything. One of the employees, Ryleigh, always remembers our family. She greets us by name and makes my kids feel recognized and special every single time. Those little moments leave a lasting impression. Mission BBQ isn't just a restaurant. It's a place that honors our military, invests in people, and creates a welcoming environment where everyone feels like they matter. The outstanding food is just the icing on the cake. We always leave with full stomachs and full hearts. Highly recommend!

My husband picked it up, so I didn't get to check the place out, but he said it was an easier pickup despite how busy they were! Both bags had half a smoked chicken with coleslaw & corn along with an order of (I believe) rib tips. 1 bag had a burger & the other had a sausage. I'm super picky about chicken because it is so dry at most places. Not this chicken! It was flavorful & so juicy! The rib tips were a little dry but I don't typically order them so I'm not sure if that's normal or not for that part of the meat. We also absolutely LOVED the bbq sauce that was on the chicken & rib tips!! I'm not totally sure but we both felt that it tastes homemade! I did try the coleslaw but I wasn't a big fan & I did have to add salt & pepper to the corn. The sausage was delicious!!
