I will. Or order from here again. Worst food I’ve ever got. Rib tips were almost all bone, the description said “with out sauce” so I paid for sauce + extra sauce. The rib tips were standing in sauce so the 2 cups I paid for I didn’t even open. There $7 fries was plain crinkle fries with cold sauce dumped on top of them. I didn’t receive the 2 sides I ordered. Prices were good but I definitely see why…. Your paying for garbage. I do not recommend ordering here. Chicken Shack’s ribs is 10x better. ??????

Stopped here for the first time. Wanted to try a local spot so I chose BBQ Central based on prior reviews.So, the lady at the window was super friendly. I got a rib tip dinner with mac and cheese and yams. With the rising cost of everything the price was reasonable. However, the rib tips were a bit tough for me and I didn't finish him the mac and cheese and yams were so so. I can say that I've had better and worse. I think I'll go back and try something else just to give it another shot.

This was my most favorite bbq place in Michigan until the prices increased just a couple of weeks ago. Although the food is good, unfortunately I will no longer be able to enjoy due to inflation. $30 for a half slab pork rib dinner with 2 small sides is just ridiculous. I wish them well because the owner or manager @ the W. 7 Mile location is truly a beautiful spirit.

I patronized Barbecue Central when they first opened on West seven Mile and Meyers and the first three times I went the order was wrong or the food just wasn't right. I wanted to still give them a chance so I patronize them a couple more times. Well fast forward to now a year and a half later hadn't been decided to give them another chance and go order my food they left something out. Call them to let them know please check orders before people leave but guess what, on hold three times for almost 10 minutes each time. Finally reach someone and let her know what's wrong with my order, she offers no apologies or anything just ma'am come back and get with you missing. REALLY?!. Then the young lady says oh okay well I apologize just come back and get what you're missing,. Horrible, horrible, horrible I had planned on at least patronizing them two more times in the next couple of weeks but I'm sorry I just can't give people my money, which I spent over $30, to be treated horribly! STAY AWAY! After posting review of my experience, the owners reply which I noticed is a pattern with all unhappy reviews posted was to take an unprofessional defense instead of apologizing and hoping to improve my experience if I would only decide to come back again. I see why BBQ Central employees were not trying to make the situation better, they get the unprofessional response from the owner. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree! In this business you have to learn and grow from the good and the bad!

BBQ Central is my favorite bar-b-q places to go to today they never disappoint my taste buds. This last trip I introduced my Canadian grandson’s & a friend because they wanted soul food. They loved the meal had plans for leftovers but that didn’t happen they kept eating and it was all gone ?. The sauce they described as slapping and peach cobbler was definitely on point. Everyone was full and happy!

I have enjoyed my meals from BBQ in the past. the ribs and sauce is a 10. But. Today I had fried pork chops. Over cooked salty to hard almost burnt in old grease . I have never been so disappointed. I usually give restaurants a second chance. Maybe in time. If I give you my money I expect top quality products. I will be going back to Motor City soul food for my chops. Period.

Ribs, chicken, sauce are great! The sides are good too. Sometimes the cabbage is a little salty and the greens aren't good. But everything else is excellent. A little pricey..

I don’t know who the master chef is , but if the owner see the message . Check On Your Business. My first time there and everything was nasty. Mac, pork ribs and even the can bake beans. You have a great location but I beg off you to get the kitchen cooks in order. Wishing you the best of luck #realreview

Work like you're at a job, not at home. Lady in the front was working like leisure while 10+ people packed into the lobby. The cook in the back had to come up front and lo and behold, as soon as he started taking orders, they were already done yet she had been too slow to actually hand them to customers.It's so easy. Take orders, make orders, serve orders. Don't relax while 10+ people are in the lobby, move with purpose so you don't lose customers. Food looks delicious but service needs a revamp.

I've decided to try out the BBQ Central as I was sorta craving for it. It was pretty good! I'll probably get it again in the future...
