Slows BBQ is a true Detroit experience. Just down Michigan Avenue from the site of the old Tigers' Stadium and across the road from the majestic ruins of the train depot, visitors feel in touch with Detroit's history while feeling the excitement of today. The decor is a contemporary take on rustic. The restaurant is usually crowded with very long waits. Plan to arrive early and use the time to check out the details of the decor and sample a local brew. The BBQ is amazing. My favorites are the baby back ribs and beef brisket, but people rave over every dish from the mac ' cheese to the salads. Free street side parking is easy to grab, even on the busiest nights.
Some of our friends had plans to attend the Kid Rock benefit for the Detroit Symphonic Orchestra last night. We met for a pre-show dinner at Slows and it didn't disappoint. One member of our party was a huge Red Wings fan and received a treat when Chelios waited for his table within a few feet of our seats.
