Friendly and attentive without being obsequious. I ordered Jerk Chicken. I have no reference for authentic Jamaican vs. Americanized Jamaican. It was more heavily sauced than I expected with just a bit of heat and a smokey flavor. The plantains were excellent, thank you very much. The Mac & Cheese was not neon orange - that's a good thing. There are so many recipes - and this was of the not creamy, kind'a, sort'a firm variety. Good, but not good enough that I would order again. Next time ... yams or rice & peas. The Cornbread is sweet (w/honey?), moist and small crumb. It is a tiny venue with limited hours - call before visiting. The dining room and restroom are very clean. Will I return? Yes! Looking forward to their goat stew!

I'm not sure what make you think it's ok to do this as if we the customer don't know the difference between catfish and tilapia. I Never complained about the greens but y'all put too many stems in the green, this is not all that's in the small portion I was given. This is not how you retain customer. There used to be another gentleman that handled and ran things better than this, if you all don't put some respect on the entire customer experience the doors will close. I'll rather drive to 7 mile and Hayes to Lape and be satisfied than come here again and continue to leave disappointed, hungry, and feel like I waste my money. The last time I came I said it would be the last time coming , for sure today was my last dime spent with southern smokehouse. I will say the service was really good today, over the phone and in person.

Met chef Aisha and she was wonderfully sweet. So were Miss Lisa and Brandy. Huge shout out to brandy as she was the mixologist. That Mr Bowie was the best!

We started with the catfish fritters, which were a really good way to kick off the meal. For our entrees, we tried the braised oxtail and the SavannahBlue fried chicken.

Overall, I really enjoyed SavannahBlue: great atmosphere, flavorful food, and a solid choice for a date night in Detroit. I'd happily come back and try more of the menu.

I was recently in Detroit and decided to try Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken through DoorDash, and…read moreit was a great choice. The chicken still had a nice crisp to it, which is always a gamble with fried food. The flavor absolutely delivered: perfectly seasoned with that signature spicy kick that builds without overwhelming. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside--exactly what you hope for. The sides held their own too. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting. If I had one note, it would be that the spice level might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. But personally, I love spicy food, so no complaints there. Overall, a great experience even via delivery. I'd definitely order again, and next time I'm in Detroit, I'd love to try it fresh in person.

I found free street parking along the side and visited when they first opened on a Thursday. I…read moresat at the bar since I was in a hurry and alone. Even the bar seats have the 6 sauces at every two seats. They have the seasonal one now, which makes up the 6th sauce. It is a KC smoky sauce. The remaining sauces are still apple, sweet, spicy, NC, and SC mustard. Pro tip: lift the straw on any drinks with a salt rim For a drink to start things, I tried the tallow-rita which I found to be pretty interesting, at least on paper. It consists of smoked tallow washed tequila, gran gala, lime, honey, pineapple, a smoked sea salt rim, and brisket and dehydrated lime garnish. This sounded like a lot of effort to make. I later added an iced tea for the road. For my food I chose the 1/4lb brisket (fatty) and a side of the premium mac n cheese. I later added their famous carrot cake. Margarita - kind of disappointing since the menu states they have a brisket garnish, but the bartender says they're not doing that anymore. Geez, that was part of the reason I even ordered the drink in the first place. This drink was alright but was small and didn't wow me like I had hoped. Thus, the reason I ended up having to order the iced tea afterwards. Brisket - very thick single slice, fatty for sure. Exactly what I wanted. I tried the brisket with all 6 sauces and even went through the sauces twice just to make sure. Mac n cheese - a premium side that is $1 more. This is like a mini mac n cheese casserole. It uses shells as the pasta and sharp cheddar. Yummy! I loved the spices on this dish. Carrot cake - this was definitely moist and served with plenty of pecans I enjoyed it quite a bit. Wish they had banana pudding though! I'm also disappointed that they do have sausage but it's not available a la carte. It's only on the $59 sampler platter appetizer. Please consider making it a la carte as well!! I was thinking I'd like the spicy sauce the best, but it's not spicy and seemed more like a tomato paste to me...very strange! I ended up liking the apple sauce the best. It has the best overall taste, right consistency, and it's very neutral. The ambiance here was ok, but it was slow since I came at opening on a weekday, I can imagine it would be very different on the weekends!

It's been a long time since I've been there! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, which was quite nice. Lots of servers around to help you, too! I didn't know what to expect since the word 'bar' has been added to their name. I had looked at their menu at home so I knew what I was going to order! Broasted 1/2 chix, greens, sweet potatoes, and potatoes salad! It came with cornbread! It was all quite tasty! But ambiance was quite nice wasn't noisy like a bar and I sort of think I heard music but I was busy eating because the food looked and smelled good! The server commented laughingly commented, 'the only thing I didn't touch was my water!' My doctor will be glad to hear that!

Initially we were not sure if it was open because the parking lot looked empty, but we saw the "OPEN" sign and decided to try it... and are so glad we did I ordered the fried chicken wings (with 2 sides) and got yams and greens. The greens were so freaking good! But they do have meat in them so keep that in mind. The chicken was hot and had just the right amount of seasoning. Yams were really good but a little too sweet for me so I couldn't finish (although I enjoyed them). My kids shared 2 plates of the fried chicken (5 wings per meal) and got Mac and cheese and greens. They loved the greens but didn't love the macaroni and cheese. They are picky and didn't like the seasoning on the mac and cheese. My husband ordered BBQ salmon and got greens and yams. He loved the greens but yams were a bit too sweet for him. He said the salmon was good but he prefers it medium well instead of well done. It took about 30 mins to come out but it was worth the wait! Overall, the food was delicious and we would come back again. The portions were generous!

Our waitress was attentive and super accommodating -- even handled a special dietary request for a hamburger with no issue. Most of us stuck with the classic chicken and waffles, and I originally ordered the red velvet pancakes... but a mix-up brought me the Belgian waffle and chicken instead -- and honestly? It was perfect. No complaints here! The waffle was light and airy with just the right crunch, and the fried chicken? Hot, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. That seasoning was everything. I skipped the Kool-Aid this time since I remembered it being a bit too sweet for me on my first visit, but the food more than made up for it. I also ordered mimosas -- they were just okay (a little lukewarm), but not a dealbreaker. Overall, Kuzzo's keeps getting better and better. It's the kind of place that feels like comfort food done right. Go visit -- you've got nothing to lose and a whole lot of flavor to gain.
