    a plate of food
    Jason B.

    IT'S A TRAP !!!!! The prices are obscene for what you get! The BBQ meat is "Ok", but nowhere near home smoked or food truck level.. but better than fast food. The real issue is the prices. 22$ for a small dinner consisting of $4.75 TINY 4oz PER sides and 1/4lb of brisket. $4.75 for tiny 4oz sides that is (literally) 8 TIMES the price of say Kroger for the same thing is insane. Generic Colesaw for 19$ a lb??? yea no thanks. 32.50 $ for a lb of "ok" dried brisket???? Yea, No thanks. The place was dead on a Friday night and it's no wonder. I was embarrassed for the workers there (Who were very nice BTW) that were obviously embarrassed at the price gouging. Don't take my word for it.. look at my photos. Does that look like Just those small amount of beans and slaw was $10!! These prices would make The movie theater's concession stands blush.

    I rarely give bad reviews but 45 mins to make 1 pulled pork sandwich is kinda ridiculous. I watched plenty of people behind me get there food eat and leave before I got my order. Top it off that I just found a hair in my sandwich -_-

    This is the 3 meat plate. Absolutely delicious and the portions are perfect. Feeling like Homer Simpson

    I don't usually leave these reviews but fpr this place it's a must. I've never been here and Pam and Kyle who were working were so polite and helpful with everything and patient with my millions of questions about the catering and food. They were absolutely awesome. The food was absolutely amazing, I even got some brisket to go for home!!! I would make the long drive just to come here again!! Highly recommended

    I emailed socialmedia@dickeys.com on August 8. I never heard back. Seems they wanted to make it publicly look like they did something to help resolve and improve customer satisfaction but no response as of September 18. For that I knock off another star.

    Clean, colorful and warm welcome feeling as you go in

    This place is an old Big Boy or at least looks like it. Randomly wanted bbq without having to…read moredrive 30 plus minutes to get it so checked this place out in person. Place just feels like it needs a good scrub; that's how it left me feeling. You also will need to change your clothes after cause you can't escape the smoke. Not sure how anyone volunteers to sit on what looks like a nice patio while the meat smoker is sitting right next to it. Even inside feels a bit grimey and smoky but if you like that smell you'd be in heaven. Hostess was nice but the waitress seemed a bit on edge/ feminist/ snotty. Not too friendly and made some comments that made me wanna let her know she can eff off at any time. Commentary about who's paying between a husband and wife or claiming you get two beers out of one line (that's a new one for me... I wouldn't want two different types of beer coming out of the same "line") and that the fact I didn't like the flat, "soft" ipa I sampled, as it tasted old or just not very good, trying to just prove me wrong... seemed like she had it out for me as man. Also wouldn't allow my kid to have chicken and fries instead of ribs from the kids menu so had to order a full 1/2 smoked chicken instead. Don't care for her attitude at all. Food was eh. Couple of bright spots- beans were smoky and sweet, good mix. The chicken, both wing and 1/2 were overly smoked and the skin became hard in a lot of parts. Had to scrape the chicken off the skin to eat it. Mac and cheese was good too. Cajun slaw was just vinegary without much of a Cajun punch. Queso brisket dip was on the sweet side. Didn't really get much brisket that I could find or taste in the dip. We couldn't finish all our food; just got sick of the flavor/ taste. Interesting sauce with the rock n rye Faygo bbq sauce. Could definitely taste the pop influence. Their XXX spicy sauce was okay; wouldn't say it's ghost pepper or unbearable. It's got some after spice which I liked. Really like the attempt they are making with the place and I hope they get their meats from the neighboring butcher as I've heard good things about the market place meats in the same strip. Oh they also charge you a 3.5% admin fee with every card purchase... p

    Smoke Street is an overall solid BBQ establishment…read more We started off with the nachos with pulled pork. These nachos were top notch. My fiancé got the basic cluck fried chicken sandwich. It was pretty bland, but I guess that was predictable based on its name. I got the boss hog combo, which includes pulled pork, brisket, sausage, corn bread, and two sides. I chose sweet potato mash and killer mac n' cheese as my sides. The meats on the platter were delicious. My go-to BBQ meat is brisket, but the pulled pork here was my favorite. As for the sides, I definitely preferred the mac over the sweet potato mash. Out of the 10+ BBQ establishments I've been to in Michigan, Smoke Street would rank somewhere in the 6-8 range.

We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a great start. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. For the price, the food just did not deliver. Everything felt average at best, but the biggest letdown was the brisket. It was tough, chewy, and almost rubbery, which is not what you expect from a BBQ place. We ordered three different dishes including the brisket tacos, half slab of ribs, and the Boss Hog, and none of them stood out in a good way. Overall, it felt overpriced for the quality and we left pretty disappointed.

My brother (ribs lover), who celebrates his birthday every year at Famous Dave's, said this will be the new spot from now on! The star of the show was our server (didn't catch his name but he has 6 kids ranging from 24 - 2!!!) and the pork belly! Just those two alone will be the reason I go back, probably next weekend. However, everything we ate was seasoned well and really tasty. I do agree with some of the other reviews that the brisket was a little dry. I blamed it on the holiday but it seems to be something they may want to address since it wasn't just me. But other than that, the food was pretty durn good. My only other complaint was that there is no seating while you're waiting for your table. I'm sure there's a reason behind it..especially once I saw the carry out line down the seating area. So I would suggest putting you name on the wait list before arriving and making sure your entire party is there before getting out of the car.

Campfire nachos with chicken, chicken taco platter with fresh jalapeños, grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, guacamole and red salsa, BBQ platter pulled chicken white meat with coleslaw and potato salad. $63.30 The campfire nachos tastes good and is packed with toppings on top. Would be better if the mozzarella shredding had been melted all of the way though. The chicken tacos aren't too bad, good with the 5 sides. The pulled chicken is good, mostly white meat. Their spicy sauce is the better of the three, 321 and sweet doesn't do much for me. The spicy is still sweeter than I like. The coleslaw is so-so, hubby liked it better. The potato salad is creamy, red skins, it's good. Food flavor.

I had to laugh at myself, because, YES, the door is hard to find and I had to use the photo to find it ‍ Every employee in there matched the rainy vibe outside. They were disinterested in serving or possibly, even being there. I sat at the bar, as a solo diner. The bartender was nice, not rude at all. But just lacked any attentiveness besides, bringing the food, drink, and the check. I have no clue if it is because they have a bunch of fans going but everything was dry. Well, except for the chicken thighs. Of all things, those were somewhat juicy. But the brisket and ribs were DRY! I couldn't even really get into my meal, and I love me some BBQ... The fries and ranch were delicious and the mac-n-cheese was cool. But overall, the only thing that kept me engaged was their sauce lineup. I had fun trying them all on each type of protein. If I remember correctly, I liked the Sweet and Seasonal best. Usually BBQ in non-BBQ states is bearable, not this time..
