    Inside most of my wings are pink and rubbery

    I LOVED the smoked wings here forever! Now they've changed from whole wings to wing sections and they aren't cooked the same or have any flavor! They are low quality pieces of chicken and not smoked like the whole wings used to be. They have no flavor and I'm very disappointed with this switch!! And my coleslaw was watery and old

    Great food, cooked fresh, soft and tender meat. Place was awesome and amazing for family and friends

    They called this burnt meat food

    I paid $16 for the sandwich yesterday (3/19). I opened it up and everything was burnt. I have a photo to show it. I ate three bits and said forget it. It wasn't worth it.

    I have a mixed review. First their curbside service, from ordering to pickup was fantastic. The food was a mix of really good and not so much. The uptown fries were very good the candied red onion and brisket are the stars of that plate. The coleslaw was also good, creamy and very fresh. The corn bread was overpowered by jalapeño flavor.The chili was overrun with jalapeños and not much other flavor. Will go back for the Uptown fries.

    First, the quick on the three stars...Price to taste value. This is the second order on this specific day to save face for ribs bought just over an hour early elsewhere. Placed the order over the phone with on small oversight being I did not ask for the cost. So we get there and ready to pay. She goes $45 wah whoa wah. After a just so slight pause of shock and awe, doubting what I just heard and taken back, I go wait what? She repeated as I follow with a quick what did I order? She says the cost of ribs keep going up followed by me with for a slab? I'm like WTHeck and a few other select in my mind words of what did I do. Hecks no, I did not let my wife know what I just paid. : - ) The ribs were actually seasoned, smoked and moist. Pretty good job since the last time we had ribs there was when this location opened. Our family guest agreed but disclosed the bar was not that high based on the other ribs. He still ate more of these ribs than the tasteless other ones. I still think pretty good for the short trip, however, at this price there should have been fireworks, sparks and angelic harmony on the taste buds. Luckily, payday had just past because buying two slabs in one day from different locations will not happen again. For this purchase, good ribs but too expensive as of this date.

    Best mac n cheese in Macomb county!

    Love their fantastic Mac n cheese. Corn bread has a small kick to it and comes with smooth cinnamon butter. Grilled chicken breast is juicy and very flavorful. Carry out service is quick and easy to get to. I am so grateful they are in my neighborhood. Only drawback is they are Closed on Mondays.

    Years ago the uptown fries were amazing. It was so much brisket on top you would get a mouth full each bite. Now it's barely any on top :(

Our server, Hayden, was especially attentive, making sure we were all enjoying our meals . I had the pulled chicken sandwich and fries and my husband had the brisket sandwich with greens. The portions were large, the meats were tender, moist and delicious, and everything was served hot. My husband said the greens were the best he's had in a restaurant. A few of our friends had the ribs, and raved about how good they were. We will be returning to try them. The entire staff on duty was involved in making this visit special for us. The employees who took our orders, cooked and served us, who normally go unrecognized. Therefore we would like to thank Hayden, Blake B, Chelsey, Maddie, Ayden, Sydney, Drew and Chris T. Great job!

It includes most of your liquor (even Ketel One) and even the shots like mini beers, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, etc. I debated on updating my review because I don't want too many people to find out about this place and ruin it for the rest of us! The barbecue is excellent. Half slab of ribs are always big and meaty and falling off the bone. They have several different types of sauce. I prefer my sauce on the side but you can ask for it plain and they will do it. Also on Tuesday they have a fried chicken special. Four pieces for eight dollars. It comes with a side of coleslaw and potato wedges. I believe for an upcharge you can substitute some of the other sides. Staff working here are all fantastic. If you sit at the bar you'll never have an empty drink. It's more of a regulars type place but it won't take long to make friends. People are eager to make suggestions on the food and make you feel welcome. Simply put Stonewood is my favorite neighborhood bar/restaurant!

The food truck's menu is limited compared to the carryout location. I went on St. Patrick's Day, so there were a few specials: a corned beef sandwich, a reuben sausage patty sandwich, and a honey mustard sausage patty sandwich. I didn't get the corned beef, but I did try both sausage sandwiches. Of those, I preferred the reuben sausage. The potato wedges each sandwich came with were thick and flavorful. I also tried the pulled pork sliders, D-mac and cheese, loaded brisket nacho, and both the sweet and jalapeño cornbreads. The sliders were good, but the sauce and pickles on top took them to the next level. The D-mac is one of the more popular items, and is definitely worth getting. The nachos were my favorite part of this meal. The combination of the queso and salsa with the brisket was to die for. As for the cornbread, both were enjoyable, but the jalapeño is the way to go. The carryout location is where you'll find the traditional BBQ. The "special Q" menu includes bacon wrapped sausage bites, pig candy (candied bacon), and burnt ends. Of these, the bacon wrapped sausage bites were my favorite. As for the sides, I've tried them all besides the waffle fries. The beans had a noticeable smoky flavor. The garlic mashed redskins were my least favorite side, but were still good. The coleslaw was very well seasoned. The "down home" mac and cheese was my favorite, and is some of the more memorable mac I've had from a BBQ establishment. The meats on the menu are brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. To me, t ribs and brisket stood out over the other two. For dessert, the Tennessee tumble cake is a must get. It's similar to a Saunders bumpy cake... but better. BBQ Daddy outsources this from La Petite Pastry Shoppe. Lastly, don't sleep on the pizza. The pizza sauce here had a sweet and smoky flavor that was truly unique. This is the longest review I've ever written, but it's well-deserved. The last thing I'll mention is that the customer service here is exceptional. The owner, Brent, and the pit master, Jim, are two of the nicest guys you'll come across. If you're looking for some good BBQ or a place worthy of your business, check out BBQ Daddy.
