    Heck yeah. Incredible BBQ and friendly service in a good location. I will make sure to come back here soon...

    Round House BBQ is somewhat of a head scratcher for me. I came in wanting some good ole' BBQ, but when I saw what I was getting into I was a bit skeptical. This place is not your typical BBQ joint and has an atmosphere analogous to a classic chain restaurant such as Applebee's or Chili's (but with a BBQ spin). The biggest red flag for me was this large worn down menu with a lot of food options that seemed to overwhelm me. Usually when I see that in a restaurant it means that the quality of the food is not very good or focused. It also took me a little while to get my order in as my server wasn't alerted of my presence so I waited a few minutes to even get my drink. First impressions aside I played it safe with some smoked wings (naked) and a house salad with brisket as I felt this would give me a good idea of the type of food they offered. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by the way they prepare wings and the freshness of their raw vegetables. In all honesty, the wings were almost perfect. Golden crispy on the outside, while warm and tender on the inside. They also did have a mild smokey flavor to them which paired perfectly with their 5 BBQ sauces that I enjoyed all around. The salad was generous in its portion size and I absolutely love their Thousand Island and Ranch dressing which probably weren't made in-house but still great with pretty much anything. I am not a fan of white onions for salads and much prefer red onions, but if they sliced it better I would have forgiven it. The brisket was a little dry, but if I ordered this salad without the wings I would have been more than satisfied with my meal. If you know what you're getting into and don't have high expectations this is a good place to eat. There are however way better BBQ options in metro Detroit for sure. I wanted to give this place a 3.5/5 if I could, but I'll be generous and round it up to 4.

    when we first got here this place looked really cool, we sat outdoors which was nice and quiet, barely anyone here really, I have to clear up a confusion, Yelp says this place closes at 8pm, it does not, they close at 9pm, so you got an extra hour folks. Your welcome. We ordered drinks, I had a Killians and she had a mixed drink called "Long Erie Island" which was very boozy. We were recommended the Special Platter for 2 by a friend of the family so we decided to order it. It comes with 3 sides of your choice (which by the way I recommend you get your own Mac N Cheese cause you won't stop eating it & you won't share it either), Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, St Louis Ribs, 1/2 BBQ Chicken, smoked sausage. This food was VERY delicious, everything was juicy, tender and just cooked to perfection, this place has great food, a great environment and a great staff. They also make their own BarBecue Sauce which is outstanding. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place and this food and I will DEFINITELY be coming back here soon.

I favored the original sweet sauce while R preferred the hot (no surprise there). Our order consisted of two pounds each brisket and pulled pork. We both preferred the beef over the pork since the meat was quite fatty. We verified the poundage and both were on point with the amount requested. The flavor was rich and Smokey but not too much so.

I'm going to have to disagree with them. The pulled pork on the sandwich I'd ordered was OK, but not exactly top-rate. The portion was good, and the meat was tender and not too greasy. Would have liked it to be smokier. The sweet Carolina mustard sauce I put on it (mustard-based sauces are always my favorites) needed less sweet and more mustard. A lot of my reviews include complaints that coleslaw is oversauced, but the (very small paper cup) of coleslaw here was nearly devoid of sauce. But overall the food hit the spot, and I'd go back. Besides that, HRI does have a good craft beer selection on draft, and side dishes beyond the initial free one are $.99 or $1.99. With limited dining options in the immediate locale, you could do a lot worse.

She also brought over her relief server to introduce us formally. There was live music - loud enough to hear and sing along, if you want, but quiet enough to hear others at the table if you wanted to talk/visit with them. I appreciated that. The music was varied but mostly stayed in the 70's and 80's. This time, I ordered the Honey Boo-boo Flatbread and side of Husb Puppies. Our wait wasn't as bad as it was last year, hence, most of the reason for the extra star this time. The food arrived hot as well. The flatbread was flavorful but didn't have a lot of heat from the hot honey although you could taste the sweetness from it. The hush puppies were very good.

It's not the 1st time it happened, but was told it wouldn't happen again. Put a damper on the night when you are going out to celebrate somebody's birthday and then you sit there not eating while everyone else does.

Gwen said she would try and she and the kitchen came through!! Gwen also said if we needed more do not be afraid to ask. We were satiated with those 6 or 7 wings. Unfortunately we only bought my wife a soft drink and our bill was $117 and the raffle tickets are every $40 spent so we only received two of them for three of us. Nyla was great as I could not find pepper on the sauce bar to season our hangar steaks. Nyla went into the kitchen and grabbed some for me, as well as adding an equal amount of salt to the sauce bowl as I wanted both for seasoning the meat. Lina, at the front desk, helped out with questions about the raffle tickets, the snow crab legs free special on April 15 their one year anniversary of the Taylor location being open. Gwen was great and kept us in clean grills, brought extra butter for our hangar steaks as requested, and kept our pitcher of water filled. She had two mishaps right beside our table. First she accidentally spilled a cup of ice for us ( her tray had a LOT on it ). Later replacing it she dropped a second cup of ice water next to me as well. Gwen said she bragged to a coworker she had not dropped anything for a long time after the first mishap recently. I regaled her about when I bragged I never spilled my giant 64 ounce Speedway cup wedged between my front seats to a coworker. That day and the following two days it spilled three times. I told her it was GOD's humor to our pridefulness. So when she spilled the second cup, I managed to refrain from saying she was due one more spill. I hope she does not have a third spill today nor soon. Anyway, the food is top notch as always! This is our home KPOT! Anqi is great as always too.

Still, it's always a pleasant treat to drop by and have some hot chicken once in a while. On my most recent visit, I got a couple of items: Chicken Cheese Fries, Mild ($13.70) - The fries are kind of chewy and not crisp but that could be because of the 15 min drive home before digging in. Fresh green onion and fried chicken tenders are dropped on top with the meat being not dry but not especially moist. In terms of spice level, we went with mild, which in this case is basically not spicy at all, giving just a very slight tingle on the tongue. Tangy, almost vinegary comeback sauce and a cheese sauce are drizzled on top of everything. Overall the seasoning level is good. I mean, it's fries with stuff on top; hard to mess that up. I just don't think I would get this again because the sandwiches are way better and this is just average. (3/5) Hush Puppies ($4.60) - One order comes with six pieces. These hush puppies have a nice crisp exterior skin with a tender and fluffy corn meal interior, seasoned perfectly. They come with the comeback sauce on the side, but I don't think they actually need the sauce as they are perfectly delicious by themselves. (4/5) The Fat Daddy, Hot, Pickles ($13.70) - Woah, this thing is hefty. I'd almost forgotten how big the sandwiches are. This single sandwich probably weighs equal to everything else we got. They give you a giant chicken thigh with a super moist interior and a crisp exterior. The chicken has a bit of heat at hot but is not overwhelming. Either my heat tolerance has gotten better or they've toned the heat down - I remember always getting the hot and having trouble with it in the past! They add a bit of slaw to add additional crunch. You can choose between pickles and peppers - I went with pickles to amp up the vinegar tangy notes. Everything is on a fluffy buttery bun. The sandwich comes with seasoned fries that are seasoned well and not overly salty. The texture feels a little chewy rather than being crisp and they look kind of pale, like they are under fried. A bit disappointing to be honest. (4/5) Since I first visited Fat Daddy's, they've expanded to a couple more locations around the Metro. I'm happy to see them getting their food out to a wider audience. I definitely recommend them, especially for their hot chicken sandwiches. Now if only they brought the hot bone-in chicken back - it's on the menu, but they don't actually carry it anymore. Overall rating of the food this visit: 3.67/5

Wait time for the food is about 20 minutes, which I think is reasonable. I've tried a ton of wings spots over time, so I'm pretty critical when it comes to ranking them. These were good, but not extraordinary. They were cooked well. The skin was crispy without drying out the meat inside. I enjoyed all of the sauces. I was definitely skeptical of the Berry BBQ; I'm glad I tried it but probably wouldn't reorder. Overall, this spot is good. I'd rank the wings higher than other chain restaurants but wouldn't seek it out above other restaurants in the Detroit area.
