What Kenny Kirk likes about Uptown BBQ:
Great food, very good service. Good amount of food, very tasteful, good packaging. The atmosphere is good, but because of the good food the place was crowded. I would and do suggest this place to others. Love it!!!Vegetarian options: Not sure.Kid-friendliness: I see no problem.Parking: Maybe 20 parking spots. View all feedback. What Crystal Parker doesn't like about Uptown BBQ:
Throw the whole restaurant away! Poor customer service, orders wrong and not worth the hassle or money. It's sad when even the Detroit Police were in there and the service was poor for them as well. The lady in front of me didn't get her pop. The man in front of her was missing wings. I waited over 20 minutes for 1/4 dark chicken, shrimp and fries only to receive white meat. I waited so long, I ordered a rib and chic... View all feedback.

Uptown BBQ offers delicious food with a great selection of ribs and shrimp. The restaurant has a clean interior and exterior, with friendly and accommodating staff. While some customers experienced slow service and issues with extra sauce charges, overall, the food was praised for its taste and portion sizes. Despite a few negative experiences with food poisoning and unseasoned dishes, many customers enjoyed the meals and would recommend the restaurant to others. The atmosphere was lively, though it can get crowded due to the popularity of the good food. If you're looking for a place with great BBQ sauce and generous portions, Uptown BBQ is worth a try.

It would be great if Yelp allowed one to rate different parts of the order process separately.

First and Last time thereWent there with co-workers we all were in agreement that they had the ribs and chicken in the oven.

The ribs and chicken tasted like they were boiled and then slow cooked in Open Pit (not good) The greens were mushy and salty (again, not good).
