Woodpile BBQ

"Nice place and above average food and service. Not on the main path to most places but worth swinging by just for the Woodpile sandwich."

"Honestly was not impressed beans and sausage was good but everything else was bland no flavor meat was cold n only tasted like smoke no other flavors in the meat slaw was dry greens tasted like in was out of a can. Good Bbq doesn't need sauces to make it taste good"

"First of all, it was the best tater tots I can recall having! The brisket is also phenomenal, and the ribs with the sweet BBQ are really delicious. My friend raved about the Mac and cheese. The only downsides I have are we expected more cornbread (especially at an upcost and made worse against the comparatively generous amount of tater tots!), And the burnt ends were just fine, not quite at the level of the brisket and ribs in our opinions."

"Great bar b que and great smoke on the meat. Big portions and reasonably priced. I got a chance to talk with Tim and Matt there and I told them their spot blows Slows Bar b Que downtown Detroit away. Woodpile is Awesome."

"I could stay home and work less than I did for my dinner than I did eating at Woodpile. We have ordered carryout from this location and the one in Clawson a few times and the food is always excellent. The ribs are so so good, as well as the Mac and cheese. We decided to dine in a few days ago and the experience was not great. Don’t get me wrong, the food was delicious. But they are clearly very short staffed. We arrived around 5:00 on a Saturday. The place wasn’t terribly busy but it seemed like the staff was very overwhelmed. We didn’t know that they don’t have table service, you need to order at the counter. That’s ok but we sat around trying to find someone to explain that to us for a while. Eventually we figured it out, got a table and I ordered. We ordered the feast for 4, a few lemonades for the kids and a sweet tea. My partner got the kids waters but he had to search the side stands for cups. Our food arrived fast and it looked great. However we couldn’t get plates, silverware, napkins, straws or our drinks. I hunted it all down myself with the help of the single bus person/ server I could find. The individual was lovely but there was one of them and a restaurant half full of patrons. On a Saturday. This might be small and silly but I don’t love dining in at a place and finding they don’t offer fountain pop refills. My sweet tea ended up being a bottled variety and they didn’t offer me ice. I could have gotten some at the bar but that was another trip after I had already been all over the restaurant several times. I will probably not be dining here again. It’s a lot to spend to get my own everything."
