We were having a hankering for some smoked meats since our Thanksgiving feast and I have been wishing to try this place since moving to the area. On Saturday We called in our order and picked it up in 30 mins ready to go. Service from the staff was kind and we were given sauces to try for our to go order. I favored the original sweet sauce while R preferred the hot (no surprise there). Our order consisted of two pounds each brisket and pulled pork. We both preferred the beef over the pork since the meat was quite fatty. We verified the poundage and both were on point with the amount requested. The flavor was rich and Smokey but not too much so. Next time possibly just order the beef and maybe try out the burgers .

Heard a few acquaintances say the slightly-divey HRI has the best barbeque in metro Detroit, and had to test that claim when dinner hour found me downriver last night. I'm going to have to disagree with them. The pulled pork on the sandwich I'd ordered was OK, but not exactly top-rate. The portion was good, and the meat was tender and not too greasy. Would have liked it to be smokier. The sweet Carolina mustard sauce I put on it (mustard-based sauces are always my favorites) needed less sweet and more mustard. A lot of my reviews include complaints that coleslaw is oversauced, but the (very small paper cup) of coleslaw here was nearly devoid of sauce. But overall the food hit the spot, and I'd go back. Besides that, HRI does have a good craft beer selection on draft, and side dishes beyond the initial free one are $.99 or $1.99. With limited dining options in the immediate locale, you could do a lot worse.

We came in on a Saturday and we're informed there was only one cook and it would be a little wait. We appreciated them letting us know up front and decided to stay and honestly the wait wasn't long at all. The service was great, she was prompt, and always made sure our drinks were filled. I ordered the fish dinner with a side of Mac n cheese, hubby ordered the special which was ribs and 4 shrimp, although he got 5 and we got the pretzel bites as an appetizer. The pretzel bites definitely lacked any salt, but the queso and honey mustard it came with were very good. My fish was good, 3 pieces that were hot and the batter was crisp and not soggy. The fries were also good, the coleslaw however was inedible, it was sour like it had turned and was bad. I literally had to spit it out it tasted so bad. The Mac n cheese was just ok, noodles were way to soft for my liking and not much flavor. Hubby enjoyed his ribs and appreciated that they were well seasoned and not sauced, he likes a fry rub. His shrimp was also good but needed some more seasoning for sure. His coleslaw was also bad so he didn't get to eat that. His baked beans tasted like canned beans, not what you would expect from a bbq restaurant. Again service was good, but don't think we'll go back.

I was on my way back from a day trip to Toledo and starving for lunch. I looked up restaurants along the route and the Huron River Inn BBQ popped up and so decided to try it. I'm so glad I stopped. The location is right off I-75 and next to the Huron River of course. The river runs directly behind the restaurant and is quite pretty. The restaurant has a bar type section as well as a bright sunroom type space. We sat in the sunroom since it was empty and we're trying to be as COVID-safe as possible. The waitress was very friendly and explained the menu, their specials and the three different bbq sauces they offer (spicy, standard and a mustard type). The menu was full of very tempting comfort food (maybe not so healthy, but hey sometimes you just need something satisfying). We opted for the homemade chips with french onion dip ($4.95) and each ordered a BBQ pulled pork sandwich ($8.95). The sandwiches had a choice of baked beans, Mac and cheese or fries if I recall correctly. Other options (e.g. onion rings) were available for a surcharge. We opted for the baked beans and Mac and cheese. The chips were our favorite item, but who can resist delicious hot from the fryer homemade chips - I know I can't! The sandwiches were IMG huge. The pulled pork was heaped at least 4 inches over the bun. We each scraped about half off and saved the rest for future sandwiches at home. My sandwich was good and juicy, though I would have liked a bit better flavor from the sauces - they were fine but not as good as my favorite sauce from another bbq place. I like intense flavor though. The mac and cheese was better than Stouffer's but not knock your socks off and come back for just the mac and cheese if you catch my drift - it was good as a side though for sure. Between the service, food, decent prices and very pleasant location, .I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely recommend the Huron River Inn BBQ.

Consistently good food by cooks Chase and Lance and bartender Jordan tonight. I had the chicken quesadilla special ordered without the usual colorful veggies (yes I know I'm wierd) but it was delicious. The servers are friendly but one could get into trouble seeing the bartender's clever shirt as pictured. A great place for food and drink or just drinks.

First visit to this establishment. We ordered carry out and we were not disappointed. The food is ah-mazing! My man ordered the double fister. The brisket was incredible and meat fell off the ribs. I ordered the brisket quesadilla and it too was incredible. Just the right balance of brisket and cheese. The customer service was also awesome. Pleasant and easy ordering. Took the time to confirm the order was right before we left. Would've taken pics but we inhaled the food too fast. . Would recommend corn on the cob and more dessert choices but these are not deal breakers. Definitely, absolutely, going back!

Positively mind blowing atmosphere since new ownership! I stopped in for a quick drink, not expecting the changes that have taken place. The staff are family oriented and inviting. I was asked by multiple people how everything was going. There's no wait on beverages and the bartenders know how to make a good drink. We came in Saturday and there was a live DJ playing jams and letting the crowd choose songs. Karaoke was optional. Kitchen was VERY clean since the last time I've been in. I'll be returning for the service & hope to try out the food menu soon.

I had the ribs they had a good smoke flavor and they were fall off the bone. The hot sauce wasn't hot at all. Wife ordered mushroom cheese burger and it was cooked correctly very good. The place was like an over one hundred years old but clean. The service was great.

Way over priced, been a local here for a long time. First time ordering the brisket. Over priced for what you get and half was fat. Won't come back.

Don't be shocked to come into the bar and meet overly served and highly intoxicated regulars. Obviously unpredictable behavior can be expected from drinks but, harassing behavior is tolerated and not an issue for the owner. After being approached by a man completely unprovoked and notifying the owner of the incident it was brushed off as a "misunderstanding" after he aggressively started poking/ grabbing my shoulder and yelled at me telling me If I have "beef" with his wife I can take it up with him.... Being that she approached me and this incident came from a normal conversation is what was concerning. Let alone a grown man making it clear he doesn't have a problem fighting a woman. I'll take my business where the safety of customers is taken seriously. This tolerated behavior is a recipe for disaster in this kind of environment.
