I'm not sure what make you think it's ok to do this as if we the customer don't know the difference between catfish and tilapia. I Never complained about the greens but y'all put too many stems in the green, this is not all that's in the small portion I was given. This is not how you retain customer. There used to be another gentleman that handled and ran things better than this, if you all don't put some respect on the entire customer experience the doors will close. I'll rather drive to 7 mile and Hayes to Lape and be satisfied than come here again and continue to leave disappointed, hungry, and feel like I waste my money. The last time I came I said it would be the last time coming , for sure today was my last dime spent with southern smokehouse. I will say the service was really good today, over the phone and in person.

The fried catfish, yams, greens, fried chicken, dark maple hot wings and anything that hit the table was exceptionally tasty. With classic tastes like grandma used to make, but with that extra touch of love. Inside the dining area was super clean and upbeat. Gorgeous artwork and a speakeasy type vibe. Met chef Aisha and she was wonderfully sweet. So were Miss Lisa and Brandy. Huge shout out to brandy as she was the mixologist. That Mr Bowie was the best!

OMG- I lived in the metro- Detroit area for 15 years and never turned on this street ever. I wanted…read moreto try a restaurant that I had not been to and saw this one on FB and decided to do something different. I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant before. First, the restaurant is up two flights of steps and there is no elevator. I injured my knee and walked up the stairs. Second, when I was seated and shown the menu, I was shocked at the very limited options. They only offer white- meat chicken, no rice or plain sides. I was going to try the greens but the server said they put vinegar on them which I don't care for. The Brussels sprouts with corn is a hard pass. I had no other choice but ordered something that I would never put together as a meal: fried catfish, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with corn. The fish was fried hard and needed seasoning and the sprouts were forgettable. They brought out hot sauce on the side assuming all people want hot/ spicy food. I wanted tartar sauce and they didn't have a traditional sauce- they had a " Cajun- style sauce." My friend had a crab cake for $25. When I called about parking, the hostess mentioned the cash lot behind the restaurant and.a parking structure across the street. She didn't mention that it was extremely expensive, I paid $24.49 for 1 hour and 6 minutes in the structure. Oh, I almost forgot that they added a 20% gratuity automatically for a party of 2! So, overall, my catfish dinner, 1 crab cake appetizer, and $2 up charge for the Brussels brought my bill to $74. Plus, the $24.49 for parking was a $100 night with no liquor only to have to leave and go eat elsewhere as what I wasted money on left me hungry and unsatisfied for sure.

We sat at the bar to speed the food along because we were hungry. The bartender, Tristan, was nice and accommodating. I had the Fried Chicken BLT. Ya'll! This was an excellent sandwich. The tomato and lettuce was so fresh and the chicken was so well seasoned. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect sandwich. I'd go back for another one right now but will definitely be returning to this restaurant for that sandwich next time I'm in Detroit.

I was recently in Detroit and decided to try Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken through DoorDash, and…read moreit was a great choice. The chicken still had a nice crisp to it, which is always a gamble with fried food. The flavor absolutely delivered: perfectly seasoned with that signature spicy kick that builds without overwhelming. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside--exactly what you hope for. The sides held their own too. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting. If I had one note, it would be that the spice level might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. But personally, I love spicy food, so no complaints there. Overall, a great experience even via delivery. I'd definitely order again, and next time I'm in Detroit, I'd love to try it fresh in person.

I ordered the 2-piece dark meal with mac and cheese, and honestly this was one of the worst meals…read moreI've had in a long time. First, the packaging threw me off.. they don't even put the food in a proper container. The chicken was just tossed into a bag on a piece of parchment paper with a slice of hard white bread. It didn't feel sanitary or appealing at all. The chicken itself tasted old, dry, and chewy with barely any flavor. It also didn't look appetizing, which was already a red flag before I even started eating. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't. The mac and cheese looked promising when I opened it, but it was very bland and lacked flavor completely. To make things worse, I paid extra (75 cents) for ranch and never even received it. Overall, this experience was a huge disappointment. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but this was honestly a 0/10 for me.

I got the deuces, which is two meats, two sides, and bread and pickles for $19. The pulled pork was great, the mashed sweet potato's and baked beans were phenomenal. I would go back just for the sides! The reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5, the chicken thigh was OK. The deuces allows you to pick two types of meat, but there's a $5 upcharge for brisket & ribs aren't available so you can only choose between pork, chicken thigh, or vegetarian bbq at that price.. hence why I got the chicken thigh.

The food has not been as good as the years prior. I was invited to lunch and I was quickly reminded…read morewhy I stopped going here. The bar was filled with people waiting for to go orders that took almost an hour to fulfill. The people dining in were waiting for 30+minutes, including myself, as a table of two. When people were questioning and complaining (not us), they were reassured the food was in progress and they did not know the hold up. Lack of ownership throughout the entire dining experience. They did not serve me sweet potato muffins, for what is now my fourth visit in a row. They ultimately took it off the check-- obviously. But for the fourth time now, I have not received these so called muffins I'm unsure even exist. XD. the ambiance was chill and I love the set up, there is just no room for overflow. So, people quickly start to pile up, even next to the tables people are actively dining at. I will likely not join the next outing I am invited to here. Good luck, Cornbread.

It's been a long time since I've been there! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, which was quite nice. Lots of servers around to help you, too! I didn't know what to expect since the word 'bar' has been added to their name. I had looked at their menu at home so I knew what I was going to order! Broasted 1/2 chix, greens, sweet potatoes, and potatoes salad! It came with cornbread! It was all quite tasty! But ambiance was quite nice wasn't noisy like a bar and I sort of think I heard music but I was busy eating because the food looked and smelled good! The server commented laughingly commented, 'the only thing I didn't touch was my water!' My doctor will be glad to hear that!

Initially we were not sure if it was open because the parking lot looked empty, but we saw the "OPEN" sign and decided to try it... and are so glad we did I ordered the fried chicken wings (with 2 sides) and got yams and greens. The greens were so freaking good! But they do have meat in them so keep that in mind. The chicken was hot and had just the right amount of seasoning. Yams were really good but a little too sweet for me so I couldn't finish (although I enjoyed them). My kids shared 2 plates of the fried chicken (5 wings per meal) and got Mac and cheese and greens. They loved the greens but didn't love the macaroni and cheese. They are picky and didn't like the seasoning on the mac and cheese. My husband ordered BBQ salmon and got greens and yams. He loved the greens but yams were a bit too sweet for him. He said the salmon was good but he prefers it medium well instead of well done. It took about 30 mins to come out but it was worth the wait! Overall, the food was delicious and we would come back again. The portions were generous!
