Eddie Smoke's Bbq - Lathrup Village

The ribs are super good. They are meaty, really good flavor in every bite. We have been here several times over the past few months and each time the ribs have been worth the trip across town.

Eddie Smokes is really great BBQ and serves Beef Plate Ribs on the weekends for those of you unfamiliar these are huge Beef (not typical pork) Ribs often served in Texas Eddies sauce for all his BBQ is fantastic and they offer Chicken Tips which is a unique creation as well as Brisket, Rib Tips, Spare Ribs (all of which we have had and enjoyed) and more try it you will love it!!

Yum! First time into Eddie Smoke's BBQ, and it won't be the last! Walk into the door and instantly greeted with the smell of deep roasting BBQ! Ribs, wings, brisket, pulled pork.. they have it all. Even the potatoes come shipped up from down south. We ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and pulled pork, rib snack and chicken tips with a side of smoked beans and Mac n cheese. It was delicious!! If you love good meat, people, and BBQ then Eddies is the place to be. I would highly recommend to sto. We will be back soon to try the pound cake and potatoes, as well as order more BBQ.

To me a bbq is all about the ribs. Detroit really does not have great ribs. The bbq's tend to over cook them and leave them in the warmers to long. Eddies really does ribs perfect. When they come out of the smoker, they are meaty, not over cooked, toothsome which is great, not fall of the bone, which to me is bad texture, light grey on the side, not brown and the tips are also great. That is the good news. The bad news is, like many places the ribs are smoked over night and are great at lunch time, but not at dinner. Good news, on the weekend they have a batch come out around 7 pm, so they are as near to perfect as you can get. Call to reserve your night batch of ribs and talk to Eddie, not the employees. I have tried all their sides. They are all good. The potato salad looks like too much mayonnaise, but is not too much. I prefer my coleslaw not chopped up, but although chopped, it is extremely good. The Mac and cheese is very good. The collard greens are good but I am not much of a fan. The baked beens are great. I am not a fan of the green beans as these are cooked to limp and I prefer, not done, and crispy. All and all the sides are very good. I have read they run out of stuff, this to me is a good thing, it means he keeps a small supply so, things are fresh. I have not run into the problem because I always call first. Try the night ribs, and sides and you will be a fan.

The best food ever I wish I can eat meat everyday please yelper try The briskets. I love the fact that the owner knows me by name and offer me extra bbq sauce . I will definitely be back and back and back
