    I've only done takeout but service at the counter is always excellent. The brisket is very tender. It's my favorite item on the menu. Wednesday is $1 wings. I liked the wings with dry rub. One of the best restaurants in this neighborhood.

    I was in the area and really wanted some ribs. Not the standard, but some smoked ribs. Made the drive to Full Rack and knew I was in the right place as I smelled the aroma of a smoker before entering. Parking was easy as they are in a strip. The staff has always been pleasant. The options were plenty. They do a vote via text for a weekly special which is cool. I have tried the pork rib and beef rib specials which did not disappoint. They also have a reward program that you can earn discounts with. I've gotten a few in the last few months. If driving far then it's worth trying a variety of things. Things I've enjoyed: key lime bar, slab of ribs, baked beans which are made with beef, chicken, & beef ribs. Brisket was good but too much fat for me to try again. They have a variety of desserts, online ordering, and pretty good bbq sauce options that you can buy in a bottle or side. Yum!

    Updating my review after a large carry out order for a midday family birthday lunch for my father. First, I called to place the order which was fairly large. The lady who took the order was friendly and precise. In the past when placing large orders at other restaurants, I've felt like they act inconvenienced. The lady on who took my order was very helpful and patient. Another bonus, everything was correct. Also, it was ready at the time quoted. We got ribs, a couple burgers, Mac and cheese, brisket, beans, fries, coleslaw. Everything was delicious and fresh. For the price, we had a ton of food of great quality.

    Stopped here back in May but I forgot to post. Service was excellent. Just a small place with a few tables but mostly carry out. We tried a couple things, the meats were excellent. The Mac and cheese was just okay but maybe we got it on an off day. Cornbread was on the drier side, which I don't prefer but I know some do. Will definitely be back to try more of the sauces.

    Southern bell smash burger special

    This place is a solid five out of five stars easily one of my favorite restaurants. I've been coming here since they first opened and haven't stopped; this review is long overdue. The staff is outstanding everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. The food is top-notch, offering high-quality BBQ at fair and reasonable prices. My personal favorite is the smash burgers, but everything I've tried has been consistently excellent. They also have a rewards program that's well worth it for regular customers, and the desserts are absolutely delicious. Overall, it's hard to beat the quality, value, and experience this place offers.

    If you're looking for a place that delivers both atmosphere and flavor, Full Rack Barbecue is a must-visit. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the authentic barbecue decor--it feels like a true Southern smokehouse, warm and inviting with just the right rustic charm. We ordered a full rack of ribs to share, and they did not disappoint. The ribs were outstanding--fall-off-the-bone tender, incredibly meaty, and coated in a delicious dry rub that packed just the right amount of flavor and spice. Every bite was a treat. The sides were just as impressive. Whether you're into the classics or something a little more unique, everything we tried was full of flavor. You can tell this place puts care into every part of the meal. Highly recommend Full Rack Barbecue to anyone in the area--whether you're a BBQ enthusiast or just craving a hearty, satisfying meal. We'll definitely be back!

    Brisket sandwich with a spoonful of Cole slaw and the Mac and cheese.
    Lorraine F.

    This review is for the food truck that was at the St Clair Shores Farmers Market July 11th. An excellent sandwich from the food truck!! We both got the brisket sandwich with pickets and cole slaw. Gotta admit...very little Cole slaw. Barely a spoon full...I guess I thought it would be a side. But the sandwich was excellent...the meat is perfect. A nice bun. They have BBQ sauce in a squeeze bottle if you want more. I loved the Mac and Cheese. Very VERY cheesy with a good rich flavor. It's a food truck so the atmosphere is food truck! They work fast and are very helpful with questions you might have.

    I am very disappointed and won't be coming back. I ordered an extra cup of bbq sauce which opened up in the bag and ruined most of the food. I attempted to eat two pieces of the burnt ends, mind you they were drowned in the bbq sauce, and they were horrible. The meat was so tough and dried out it was like trying to chew on leather. $40 wasted, I won't be back. If I lived closer I would have went back for a refund or new food.

    CUBAN QUESADILLA  XPITBEEFX SMASHBURGER

    I was really bummed when lazybones closed but Full Rack didn't disappoint! The cubandilla, smashburger, and chocolate pie all 10/10

    Cubandilla

    Everything I get has been delicious. Their burgers are so good. Today I tried the quesadilla. Wow was this life changing.

    Green beans in water topped with grease.
    Karen S.

    The meat is good, smokey, and tender. The kids liked the Mac and cheese and the fries were great! The quart of green beans was 50% water with some scraps of pork fat and maybe a bit of cayenne, and, is it even conceivable that these came from a can?!? The have that watter- logged texture and that perfectly uniform cut and slightly grey color. The BBQ sauce was forgettable This isn't the place to eat if you have any dietary restrictions like low salt, fat, or carbs.

    Totally blown away oh what a find,  owner's straight outta Tennessee Bbq country.  Thanks to my Foodie friend NED for getting me to take a rare trip to the east side of town.  Truly a hidden gem you must try easy to find , a small quaint dining room with wooden picnic tables and restroom. Owner's moved to Detroit and  haven't stopped. They still have the same passion visiting family back in Tennessee. We like sharing our passion with good people who enjoy eating good food. Nothing bonds us better than gathering around a table full of food made from the heart. That's why we barbecue. Mega Deal alert can't be beat,  we had Stay Smoked. 1/4 rack of dry rubbed spare ribs and 1/3 lb servings of sliced brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken & polish sausage. Marvelous proper Smoked over Oak Wood,  beautiful Smoke Ring on Brisket and Ribs for the win.  We added a small Mac n Cheese so uniquely different and addictive .  Had the best ever eaten SmashBurger this alone worthy of a visit.  PB&J Smashburger Brisket grind smash burger topped with swiss, applewood smoked bacon, peanut butter & jalapeno jam on a toasted bun OMG. You can order single double or triple,  I did the double WOWED perfection Love so much flavor bursting in yo mouth.  Check out the website and menu https://www.fullrackbarbecue.com/s/order?location=11ea85d708ae4e7ba95a0cc47a2aeaec#24.  Hundreds of 5 star reviews around the web Yelp and Google,  follow the Facebook page for specials.  Going back really soon for much more Authentic Southern Smoked Meats,  Stay Smoked they slogan works so Great   @fullrackbbq #fullrackbbq #smokedmeats #southernbbq #staysmoked #brisket #lowprices #smashburger #macncheese
