Big Kens Bar-B-Q

tried them out for their $1 wing Wednesday special. I got the potato salad and baked beans on the side. Wings I'll give a solid 8. Wish they were bigger but very good. Baked beans also an 8. Very good. The potato was a 4. Will never get that again. Raspberry lemonade 10. Customer service 9. The lady i talked to on the phone was the sweetest. She informed me about their rewards system so I signed up and got my $5 coupon that I will be using on my next visit.

Listen, I love Big Ken's- they've always treated us good and their food is great! They have competitive pricing, but their portions are typically bigger than most. It's a small spot, mainly carry out, but the food is worth it! The hours are hit-or-miss, which is the only downside to this place. Great quick stop for some BBQ!

Nope! I love supporting local businesses so I thought we would give them a try. I made an order online on a Sunday for a half slab of ribs, wings, the 8 mile sandwich, 3 corn on the cob, and side of beans. I picked up 2bags and drove home (9 miles one way) because there was nowhere to eat in the restaurant. When I got home all of my sides were missing. I called and told them the situation. I was told that they were sold out of corn but I could come pick up the beans. I asked if I could come back when they were open next. She assured me that I could but they weren't open again until Wednesday! I wasn't able to drive 9 miles out of my way on Wednesday so I asked if I could come on Friday, she took my name and told me I'd be good to pick up when I arrived. I went in on Friday and they had NO IDEA that they were supposed to give me my food. The young lady at the front said the owner left and she didn't know when or if she would be back. I gave her my name and phone number so the owner could call me. I went back home and just before I pulled into my driveway, they texted me that I could come pick up my food. I wasn't about to drive another 18 miles round-trip to go pick up three ears of corn and a side of beans. I told her I would come in on Sunday, which was the next day that they would be open and it would be a whole week since my original order. I went back on Sunday to pick up my missing items and they were 3 bowls of canned corn with butter for $3.49 each! The beans were just as expensive and they must have just put some canned beans in a bowl and called it a day. Not to mention I wasn't offered anything extra for my numerous trips for missed items. Save your money. The ribs were fatty and rubbery, the sandwich was soggy but tasted alright, and the wings were dry. The best thing I can say is, I did like their sauce.

Their wings fall off the bone! I also love their half chicken, peach cobbler, and sandwiches. I still need to try their ribs! I will return!I wanted to visit after seeing their FB Live videos. People go in to eat everything on their menu! If you're successful, the offer incentives. It's a bit much, but there are people who were up to the challenge! I would rather sit back and enjoy it. The sauce is unique and tasty! I also plan to try their elotes corn on the cobb.

I recently saw Big Ken's on Facebook. I came across the food challenge videos they post and I was intrigued by the options they offer. So on my recent trip to Detroit, we made Big Ken's our last stop, and boy did we save the best for last. When we arrived we took a minute to look at the menu before we ordered. There was a young lady at the counter who didn't seem too happy to be at work. She was very short and not too friendly. After placing our order, my wife said she actually wanted to try the Mexican street corn but she was hesitant due to the cashier's attitude. I talked her into placing another order and she was glad she did.Our food was ready within minutes. And the other young lady who brought it to us was much more pleasant. So, I will go with the main cashier was just having a bad day. We went to the car to dig in and one of the male employees came out to greet us as he overheard us stating that it was our first time. He asked how the food was and we told him we really enjoyed it. He then thanked us for stopping by. This gentleman and the pleasant young lady saved Big Ken's from getting a 4/5 rating.Now to the food, my wife and I ordered the 8 Mile Pulled Pork sandwich a side, and a lemonade. I got cole slaw because they were only offering potato salad, slaw, or baked beans. But when my wife decided to place her second order, I had her get me an ear of buttered corn. As far as the drinks went, I got blueberry lemonade and my wife got strawberry. They serve the lemonade in these huge plastic cups with real fruit inside of them. The sandwich was the best pulled pork sammy I have ever had. The barbecue sauce is light but full of flavor. The bun was nice and saw and the slaw complimented the sandwich perfectly. The buttered corn was really good and it was served with husks. The lemonade was phenomenal, by far the best lemonade I have ever had. As far as the Mexican street corn, my wife was caught in 4k licking the sauce from the foil it came wrapped in. #Satisfied Pro Tip: We spent $125 dining at Sugar Factory Detroit, and we spent about $40 at Big Ken's. And I will tell you, Big Ken's runs circles around Sugar Factory for a fraction of the price.8 Mile Sandwich 1-5=5!BBQ sauce 1-5=5!Corn 1-5=4.Customer Service 1-5=4.Blueberry Lemonade 1-5=5!

When I say this is authentic Detroit Bbq... reminiscent of a backyard, barbecue that my dad rest his soul used to make everything here is amazing. The wings are to die for and the rib tips little bitty pieces of pork gold. It's fair to say big hands is one of the best barbecue restaurants in the metro area check them out.

Good bbq not bad for a fast carry out meal reasonable price good hours service was fast

This is an ignorant Black owned Business. 1.. employees sitting on the counters when u walk in2. Order wasn't what was ordered3. So called Manager just as ignorant First time and last time we will go back. All my Friends family will be notified I finally talked to the owner who was very apologetic asked me to come back. That was my only positive experience. I can say i didn't enjoy the half order so no comment

Got 3 wing dinners. The wings & sauce were great. Sides were beans, slaw & corn. All were very tasty. Food was well seasoned. First time trying...we will be back. Friendly service, But the food is GREAT!

Best BBQ ever. The ribs and chicken fall off the bone. I live in California and fly all the way here. Just to have some! I've been a loyal customer since they started. I come there so much that the last time they did an interview with me so catch me on their social media.
