I had no idea this little gem has been around for 4 years; I wish I had known sooner! The gal behind the counter knows her stuff re the menu. She did not steer us first-timers wrong. The brisket sandwich was exceptionally tender, and the pieces were a generous size. The Whiskey River smash burger was one of the best smash burgers I have ever had. The mac and cheese and good, and the BBQ baked beans had a new twist for me, which had ground beef in it. The peach cobbler cheesecake was good but it would have been amazing if it had less crumb topping or more peaches. I can't wait to return. read more

Tried the Texas Twinkie breakfast burrito during brunch (asked for it without the BBQ sauce). I ordered online and it did take about an hour, which wasn't provided as an estimate until after submitting my order. They said it was due to the grill being backed up, but to their credit, it was ready right when I arrived and tasted fresh. The burrito itself was really solid. The grilled cheese crust on the outside was a nice touch, but what stood out even more was the underside--it had this flaky, crispy texture that made every bite satisfying. Flavor-wise, the bacon definitely carried the dish with a great smoky taste, and you'd occasionally get a nice kick from the jalapeño. The eggs were there, but I didn't notice many had brown potatoes. The few that were in there had that slightly chewy/hard/gummy texture you get from like next-day reheated hash browns, so I'm not sure what was going on there. Fresh, crispy potatoes or even their fresh fries would have taken this to the next level. Overall though, really good burrito with great texture and strong smoky flavor--just a couple tweaks away from being excellent! Also got 5 wings to try, with Carolina Gold sauce. They were great! read more

Consistently good food. Great service. One of the best barbecue places around. Make sure to grab a dessert, they are all wonderful. If you're thinking about trying it, do it! read more

Great bbq! Small locations but big picnic tables to seat with friends and family, and the cashier/server was very friendly and informative at picking from some many good options. Did the 3x3 - highly recommend for two, unless you have a big appetite. Great option for the undecided as well This allows you to pick three meat (note: upcharges on brisket and/or ribs) and three sides. There are limited options on drinks, available is local cola brand/flavor and Pure Leaf Tea (both sweet or unsweetened). However, rolled with the punches and loved their selections on deserts, and merchandises/stickers. Definitely coming back in the future and highly recommended. read more

Eeee my mouth is watering as I type this review, it is truly that good. Okay, a little preface - I usually stick for birds when I am ordering bbq (chicken and turkey are my zero guilt go-tos). THAT SAID - I dream about their smoked wings, my god, they are perfection. Crispy, tender, juicy, flavorful, it's just a wing and yet it's a perfect wing. And the fried chicken sandwich?! 1000000000000%. Enthusiastically head nod eyebrows raised yes. Their website is great and online ordering is a breeze. I think we have ordered online for every visit, actually? Usually we grab takeout for home or takeout to bestow upon a friend's backyard when the weather is nice. This is my all-time favorite bbq, wings Wednesday forever, Slow's who? read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Full Rack has really upped its game since its opening. It gets most of its business from carry out, but there are 3 tables available for dine in. All of the food on the barbecue menu here is consistent. The "stay smoked" is the way to go if you're a barbecue lover. The smash burger is locally one of the best around. The prime rib sandwich, which is a December special, is delicious. Regardless of which main course you choose, the French fries, mac & cheese, and smoked beans are all top notch sides. I was disappointed when Moy's closed a couple years back, but we couldn't have asked for a better replacement in Full Rack. read more

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 read more

When you walk into this pick-up joint the smokiness hits you full on in the olfactory memories of family BBQs in the park. I had the 2+2 (puck two meats and two sides) - ribs and pulled pork. My sides were mac and cheese and green beans. The meat was succulent, perfectly smoked, dry rub style, and honestly rivaled some of my favorite places in the city. Sauce I chose was Carolina Gold, and a bit sweeter than I prefer, but it had that thick gooey glaze-like consistency that clings properly to its target! Sides were also extra yum. They aren't dialing it in here, folks! Mac and cheese was not the cheese powder type so common at places that otherwise have fine mains, but had a sharper flavor, lighter color, and some added spices that gave it a little more personality. The green beans were absolutely top shelf, seasoned with some smokey bits of meat and the perfect hint of heat - not so hot that you need to recover, but definitely a full-mouth pepper sensation that pleasantly lingered. Me likey!!!! I will order a giant order of just these green beans alone in the near future. I'm a fan! Can't wait to try brisket next. And gotta try summa that coleslaw and cornbread! The price seemed high at first, but after sampling this spot, my opinion is that you absolutely get your coin's worth!! Please try this worthy eatery next time you get a BBQ craving. I have a vested interest in this place's success! read more

You can tell from the smell in the parking lot that youre in for good eating. Ordered the full rack with two full mac n cheeses for 36 dollars and the service was spot on. My partner and I ate for days. Very nice, and smoked to perfection. Grabbed a couple cans of moon mist and rock n rye by Faygo to enjoy it with. We will be back for sure. read more

I don't think I've had better ribs and brisket. I highly recommend this place for your barbecue fix..

Their chicken wings are really good! I like them with the dry rub & white sauce. Their sides are just okay.

The customer service is absolutely amazing. This alone will keep me coming back. The quesadillas are delicious, get the yellow sauce! My husband thought the Mac and Cheese was good. The interior is small but cute and clean. read more

For the price of a carry out the food was not that good. Mac and cheese is mashed together, green beans no flavor, ribs over cooked. The best thing in my meal today was the beans. $30.00 wasted. This place is always a hit or a miss. Today was a miss. Customer service is always great tho. read more

Full Rack Barbecue is delicious! 10/10. Great service, cool little spot for dining in or carry out.

Ok tough review here. Coleslaw-not bad. Long wide cut and kind of makes it sloppy to eat. Great crunch so you know it's fresh. Potato salad-good ole mustard potato salad. Ribs-guessing it was just spg for the seasoning. I like a little more spice on mine but very good. Fall apart ribs. I like a little more tooth on mine but very good. Brisket-best brisket I've had a bbq place! Being a backyard bbq guy, I am partial to my bbq but this was very very good! I will be coming back each time I'm in the area!

Food is always excellent services friendly and they have a great loyalty program. Really love their crispy fried chicken sandwich.

I really wanted to give this place 4 to 5 stars just or the quality of food alone, but employee Hayden is not only is extremely rude and unprofessional over the phone, he talk's like a character from 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'- an old movie from back in the day where vocab is limited to words like 'dude' or 'come on man' which seems to comprise about 50% of his vocab. In summary, the owner (who I've spoken to over the phone a few times when we've visited Michigan) is professional, and inviting to talk to, whereas Hayden seems short tempered and an absolute fail when it come to handling pressure let alone interacting with customers- we'll go back there when Hayden moves on to his next 9-5 gig....SMH read more

Full Rack BBQ is new in the area and I've ordered carry out from there a couple of times now. The interior is cute, picnic tables with table clothes and sauce on the table. Their menu is a decent size; not too many items but it covers almost everything you'd want to order at a bbq place. I just wish they had more sides. The first time I ordered, I got a 1/2 lb of brisket, a piece of corn bread and Mac & cheese. The brisket was smoked nicely and wasn't dry - it passed the fold over rest without breaking. The Mac n cheese was pretty good; it tastes like Kraft Mac & cheese but with seasoning/spices added (kind of tasted like Montreal steak seasoning to me). The cornbread was good but very tiny so don't just order one piece if you want it. The second time, I ordered a half rack of ribs and a brownie. The ribs were smoked nicely and were tender and delicious. They were kind of peppery though so if you don't like pepper, you might not be into their spice rub. The brownie was awesome; super chocolaty, fudgy and delicious. Both times I ordered the quality of the meat was excellent. Both times, I wished they had a sweeter version of bbq sauce available. What they have is a vinegar based sauce and it's pretty strong on the vinegar flavor. I used my own sauce at home (sweet baby rays) instead and was happy because for me, I liked it with the pepper on the ribs. Solid addition to the neighborhood, will definitely return. read more
