Metro Detroit’s Best Barbecue Restaurants | Eater Detroit

"Nunn’s BBQ was opened in 1984 by Wiley Nunn. Now Wiley’s son Al Nunn is carrying on his father’s legacy of smoked meats in this unassuming storefront. The ribs are cooked on a 10-foot charcoal grill before going into the smoker. Other choices include rib tips, pulled pork, turkey ribs, rotisserie chicken, and pigs feet. Make sure to leave some room for one of the desserts such as peach cobbler, banana pudding, sweet potato pie, or pound cake." - Eater Staff

A Local's Guide to the Best Restaurants in Detroit | Bon Appétit

"Since the legendary Milt’s closed in 2012, there’s been a tussle to see who’ll wear the rib-tips crown. Sold at bulletproof-glass Chinese restaurants and street stands throughout the city, rib tips are a cut off the sparerib with a little piece of fat and cartilage. The ones atNunn’sare sweet, juicy nuggets with some chew and some char (and all at a nice discount from the slab)—almost more like Chinese barbecued pork and better than any other version in town." - ByBen Hall

I ordered a slab of ribs around 11:20pm, I had my order at 1126pm. I am very picky when it comes to ribs, and these were absolutely amazing. I just didn’t like that there fryers are turned off around 11 but the close at midnight 🤔. I was skeptical about all them bugs being inside but I get it the doors open and close all day and night… Other than the grill being turned off early, and the bugs, the ribs were amazing

It was like stepping into a family members house that you haven’t seen for a while. She was super happy that I stopped in. Now the food, omg!!! Wow ribs fell apart and the sauce was tantalizingly delicious! You could tell that the crinkle cut fries were cooked in fresh hot oil! We can not wait to order again! God bless Nunns bbq and family!

I was referred here by my aunt. She said their rib tips were not expensive and the pork chop sandwich was good. I was not disappointed!! The rib tips was good, nice flavor of bbq sauce. The pork chops were the biggest I have ever had in my life. Check them out and let me know what yall think.

Food was pretty good. Macaroni was VERY good and cheesy! Yams very good! Greens very good! Rib tips and ribs pretty good! Pork chops tasted like some true homemade pork chops you fried at home, very good! Comparing to other BBQ places, serving size of tips could have been more for what you pay but overall great food and the guy who took our order was very nice and helpful.

The rib tips are so tender and the bbq sauce is delicious 😋🤤 the greens are a bit heavy on the pepper but I added a little salt and they were perfect for me. Mac & cheese was both cheesy and creamy. The catfish was delicious I would ask for it fried hard next time 😊 Candied yams were delightful almost my favorite thing on my plate. 10/10 absolutely recommend I love some good soul food 🤎

Counter/order attendant extremely indifferent. Couldn't wait to get back to phone after taking my order. At 5:30 pm, they were out of chicken and yams. Store was clean and. Very good parking. Neighborhood felt safe and storefront very clean. Customer service needs improving in order for me to patronize regularly.

I've been wanting to try this place for YEARS, drove 500 miles all the way from Wisconsin to try it and it did not disappoint!!! The half chicken was tender and juicy, the mac was nice and cheesy and the sauce was tangy and spicy. It's everything I expected and then some. Fantastic, I cannot wait to come back again!

I bought the worst ribs in my life?(Nunns BBQ) I don’t know how these places are getting away with it. The rib look like a Shepherd or a horse Rib It was boiled ribs And was nasty. They can do better than that and I can’t believe I drove all the way there for this nasty Ribs Remember, I called and asked them are the ribs boiled and she told me they are grilled ribs,🤦🏽‍♀️
