I googled great bbq near me and brothers came up. Met with the owner, chatted with a great server and ended up with some kick ass food. Super tender and juicy brisket wicked chewy but fall off the bone ribs, mac and cheese and more. The bbq sauce is so good and needs to be in bottles for home. Gotta love it. Do not miss this spot.

Very friendly staff, food was ready quick. We got the pork rib slab to split, they were perfectly seasoned. The coleslaw was pretty darn good as well, the green beans kinda reminded me of collard greens with smoked turkey, I was definitely impressed!

Stopped in today with several coworkers and took advantage of the $10 lunch special. Brisket sandwich and fries. Fries were pretty good but the brisket sandwich is what will bring me back. Very moist, well prepared and flavorful. The price is right as well. Wish I could have had a cocktail but there’s always next time. See ya soon.

Was in the area for a BBQ festival which was overly packed so we decided to look up some local BBQ and ended up here, and we were pleasantly surprised. Bar type atmosphere with a soul food/BBQ menu. We all wanted brisket but they had ran out already, kind of a bummer. Two of us ordered rib tips and smoked wings with Mac n cheese. One other ordered a smoked turkey leg and side salad which she said was very fresh and the vinaigrette was good. None of us were disappointed, tips and wings were very good. Turkey leg was good a little dry but taste was still there. Mac n cheese was good too, was definitely warmed up and served but still pretty tasty. Service was great. Our server Jay was very pleasant. Very attentive to our table as well. She was also the bartender and made some fantastic drinks. While we were there we were able to talk with a few of the owners, very nice guys, invited us to come back anytime. The overall vibe was great. I would go back just for that...but the food was good too!! Check em out..

Nice atmosphere. Service is on point. I was told they serve smoked corn beef sandwich on Thursday so I stopped in to try it. It was delicious! You can definitely taste the smoke flavor. It was a good size and came with a side. I didn't finish it until the next day. It was just as good if not better, the next day. A week or 2 before that visit I was there and ordered a smoked brisket. It was also delicious and came with a large salad. I was very satisfied both visits.,

Blown away by this place. The food is fantastic, the portions of food AND beer are more generous than any BBQ place I've ever been. The staff is amazing as well. The owner, cook, and bartender were all great. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!

Good, smoky BBQ joint with a tight limited menu. BUT a "5% Service Fee" is secretly added to your bill (not mentioned on the menu) in addition to a credit card fee. Not cool. Just put the Real Price on the menu...no customer has ever mad or disappointed about that. - Half Chicken - served slathered in sauce. At first I thought "too much sauce", but it was perfect. Lots of smoke flavor and very juicy. Good stuff. Brisket - I hate to say it, but the first plate was tough. The chef came out to ask how everything was and I showed him. He then brought me some seriously tender brisket! Good smoke profile, good looking smoke ring. Mac & Cheese - OMG good. Thick, sticky cheesey, not bland at all. Perfect amount of salt and smoke. I'd get this as a main meal if they sold it in a large size. Baked Beans - deep smoke flavor, not too sweet, just right. You'll like these. Coleslaw - not too sweet, some interesting flavors that totally work. Delicious. Service was fast and courteous. Ask for Matt (he's still here from Jon's Goodtimes) Food was great but I can't recommend with secret 5% Surcharge.

Brothers Smokehouse 27552 Cherry Hill at Inkster, totally blown away WOWED . A foodie friend turned me on to this place, Thanks Jesse a true winner. Melt in Yo Mouth Beef Brisket , love the mixed fatty smoked Brisket. Fat is Flavor folks, some Love it and some don't. Most tender Brisket around town, a must try for you Smoked Meat Lover's. Had with Fries and Marvelous Mac n Cheese, highly recommend. The star of this visit Smoked Whole Wings Omg, best ever around Metro Detroit. The Wing's looked burnt, no they not. Great Smoke flavor overload in each bite, got 12 Whole Wings outstanding Delicious . I was able to slide the meat right off the flat, how cool a instant addiction. Old school 1950's vibe with fantastic service. Mega Smoker outside the front door gets fired up each morning around 6am. Truly a hidden gem open just over a year, over 200 five star Google reviews for a great reason. Going back really soon for the Rib's and more Smoked Whole Wings . #brotherssmokehouse @brotherssmokehouseinkster #smokehouse #brisket #smokedwings #inkstermichigan #macncheese #smokedribs #downriverfriendseat
