Slows Bar BQ
What the experts agree on
A Corktown pioneer credited with sparking Detroit's dining revival, Slows serves standout multi-regional BBQ—brisket, pulled pork, standout mac 'n' cheese—in a historic building with hipster energy.
“Mmm, slow-cooked southern-style barbecue in Corktown. Carnivores can carve into the three-meat combo plate (brisket, pulled pork and chicken). Vegetarians even have a couple of options.”
