    A small storefront with just enough space to line up, but such good food and quick too! Nice employees too.

    Took a chance off Yelp reviews and I was very well pleased. Everything was delicious! I had the 3 meat combo and I was thoroughly impressed. I had the brisket, pulled pork, and rib tips...amazing! Even the bbq sauce was good too. I also smashed my sides too..Mac & cheese and greens which had a little kick of hotness and that made them even more delicious. I'm determined to go back to try out their smoked wings.

    Omg!! This was the best grilled cheese ever Brisket Grilled cheese with potatoes wedges

    I've been going there since they opened. Food is delicious. Do recommend it? Yesss it's now 2025 and they are still good. Food still on point love it.

    Arkins gets 5 stars across the board. The food, amazing the sauce is literally finger licking good . I would travel the world for those wedges they have. The chicken is seasoned to perfection and the beef ribs are like a small piece of halal heaven. I had around before I became a Yelpie and I've been there enough to say they should be one of the best BBQ spots In the metro area. The brisket is another one of my faves. Dont walk or run but speed and do it safely and get you some Arkins......

    Brisket is dry as hell. Flavorless. Looks like I got the short end of the stick and was served older brisket from the day before. Disgusted

    Damn it. Looks like I got the short end of the stick and they served me up old brisket from days before. Got the Fatty moist and it ended up being dry and hard as hell. I'm pissed

For our appetizer we ordered Firecracker shrimp, Fried green tomatoes, and Sweet potato muffins. We also had the complimentary corn bread. The appetizers and sweet potatoes muffins were delicious. The cornbread was dense and okay. For our main course we ordered turkey chops, and they came with two sides. We chose mac and cheese and red beans and rice. The turkey chops were ok but the sides were trash. The red beans and rice were (see picture) dry and the macaroni and cheese (see pictures) as well. The mac and cheese was cheeseless.We also ordered the catfish dinner with okra and yams.The yams were delicious and the okra was okay. The catfish skin was dark like old oil was used. It appeared to be cornmeal fried and hard. I should have specified how I wanted them. We also order the waffle and the chickens and there were no complaints. Honestly, we've been to Cornbread many times. Previously, I've always given 5 stars and haven't ever had any complaints but something drastically changed. The drinks as well didn't taste the same and we were told that the bartender was new. We didn't want to complain or send our food back due to our past experiences at other restaurants but we did take pictures. The service was great. But honestly, I do not believe that we will ever return.

They are now located in the Heritage Plaza next door to Skylar Laundromat. The new location is very spacious for both the staff and customers. They now have a dine-in option with two pub tables and four combo seating of table chairs and window sill cushions. The food is still cooked and served with love! I had the Gotta Have Soul - 4 Fried Catfish Strips with Mac & Cheese and Green Beans with Potatoes. I love that over the area where food comes from the kitchen reads: "Lord, we pray that you bless this food and everyone who partakes of it. We pray that you bless them in the way which will benefit them the most." I receive that blessing! I ordered my meal takeout! It was so tasty! I was able to divide my meal for lunch for two days! They have three lines inside: 1) Order Here, 2) Pickup Here and for those short on time, 3) Whatcha Got Ready Right Now? They participate with DoorDash for delivery options. They also offer catering services. Note: They are still closed on Mondays and open on Sundays at 1pm now!

There are a few tables to wait for your order, next time I'll call ahead but the wait was short so no big deal. I got ribs with baked beans and Mac n cheese. The star for me was the sauce: this was the best BBQ sauce I've had in Michigan. And it's not even close. Sweet, tangy, it was great! The ribs were really good: deep smoke penetration with a fantastic smoky flavor. And they were properly cooked, with just the right amount of bite. The Mac n cheese was tasty. The baked beans were really good, unique but in a really good way. And the little sweet potato muffin was delightful. I'll try the green beans next time I go. The only things I wish they had are sweet tea and pulled pork, but those aren't a thing around here, and I get that. I just can't help myself for wishing. This place is really good. There's no doubt I'll be back, it's the best BBQ I've had in a wide radius that I didn't make myself. Highly recommend!

While the ribs were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned--the macaroni and cheese was too salty and so were the collard greens. The sweet potato muffin was very rubbery and dry. There was confusion about the special offered online upon arrival, which was eventually honored. However, I can't say that I'll be back. I'll stick to Uptown BBQ or Slow's for all things smoked and sides that don't necessarily come with another side of hypertension.
