About Southern Smokehouse
Located at 14340 W McNichols Rd, Detroit, MI 48235, Southern Smokehouse operates as a chinese bbq serving Detroit in Michigan. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under soul food restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Detroit; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Michigan are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–8 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (313) 397-4050. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is thesouthernsmokehouse.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Its Google rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 2,126 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.
Detroit is in Michigan, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. Traffic in Detroit peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Y'all... I don't have any pictures because the food never lasts long enough! 😂 This place is DELICIOUS! My family and I order from here all the time through DoorDash, and every single meal has been amazing. The meat is always tender, everything is seasoned perfectly, and you can tell the food is made with care. I happened to be in the neighborhood, so I finally stopped inside for the first time. I'm so glad I did! The restaurant is cute, cozy, and spotless—the triple threat! 😊 The staff was welcoming, and it was great to see the place behind all the meals we've enjoyed at home. My only suggestion would be to add a few chairs for customers waiting on their orders. It would make an already great experience even better. If you're scrolling through reviews trying to decide where to eat, stop scrolling and give this place a try. Your taste buds will thank you!

I ordered the rib tips, baked beans, potato salad, large peach cobbler, and Pepsi. The rib tips were so old, cold, hard, burnt, and salty. You can tell they weren't fresh at all. Like they reheated them and put barbecue sauce on them. They were so tough you need a saw to cut them. They were extremely small. I just had surgery and can't walk, so I ordered through the delivery service doordash. I paid $29 and some change. The potato salad is definitely store bought and they sprinkle paprika on top of it. The baked beans were ok. The peach cobbler was the best thing. This just reminds me of why I stopped ordering here a few years ago. I will never order here again. Customer service was terrible when I called to tell her about my food she wants to argue with me about the nasty old slop she served me after I paid my money for it. NEVER AGAIN! BEWARE THE PICS SHOWN IS NOT WHAT YOU WILL BE SERVED! NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL. I KNEW BETTER I JUST TRIED TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE AFTER ALL THIS TIME. NOPE A BIG MISTAKE!

Was driving by and decided to stop in and try something new and im glad I did. Very warm energy from the staff; feels like you're amongst family. The food was GOOOOD. And they have so many manu items that I cant wait to go back and try. I meant to take a pic of the food but I started eating it before I pulled off and next thing I know it was gone. 10/10 would recommend!!

This was my second visit to Smokehouse BBQ on Six Mile & Greenfield. My first visit went smooth enough that I decided to run it back for Mother’s Day. Clearly… somebody in that kitchen decided to celebrate by fighting the meat personally. 😂 I ordered the beef ribs, greens, and pinto beans with rice. Let’s start with the positives because I believe in balance: Greens: 4/5 ⭐️ Pinto beans & rice: 3/5 ⭐️ Beef ribs: absolutely not. 1/5 ⭐️ Baby… these ribs were so tough and burnt I felt like I needed a chainsaw, prayer circle, and upper body strength just to pull off a bite. Whoever packed that container KNEW those ribs were built like construction materials and sent them out anyway. 😭 So I called the restaurant, explained the issue, and was told I’d need to bring the food back. Which would be reasonable if I didn’t live 30 minutes outside the city and if it wasn’t MOTHER’S DAY — a day where traffic, exhaustion, and everybody’s nerves are already medium rare. By the time I got home with the food, it was around 7 PM. At that point, circling back across town over ribs that lost the war against tenderness just wasn’t giving “relaxing ending to a beautiful Mother’s Day.” The crazy pa
