Zukin's Rib Shack

Used to be better

The fries are always cold. They use Open-Pit and I think the meat quality has gone down. I used to swear by Zukin's, now I don't even bother. The pizza stinks! Could they at least use real cheese?!? I walked in to place an order, waited 15 minutes for it and it was cold. I had to walk three houses away...in the summer and it was cold!

used to be best pizza in the world 10 years ago

and now still is one of the best. Ribs and chicken are the best in town, but you gotta try the scallops...men, they're good!. But the best of all are the KABOBS! Nobody can resist them. Sorry you can`t eat in there.

There`s a lot parking, safe place and fast service. If you want my advice, make your order once in there, so you can take your food when still hot...you will not wait over 10 minutes and it worth it!

I would like to know if there`s a e-mail adress of Zukin`s rib shack. If anybody can help me, my e-mail is:

s4w30@yahoo or hotmail

• Pros: fast service
• Cons: can`t eat in there

Not what I thought

I mean no disrespect, but Zukin's did not live up to my expectations. Being fairly new to the area I Zukins was recommended to me by several friends for some good 'cue. Unfortunately, many in this area believe that barbecue is grilling something and putting sauce on it. I am a fan of traditional southern bbq (ala memphis, kansas city) and this was not it. The ribs and chicken that I had tasted as if they were pre cooked and slapped on the grill to warm and covered in open pit. I prefer a smokier bbq. My opinion might not be popular in this area but I wasn't impressed.

• Pros: fast service
• Cons: no seating

Great BBQ

by aden13 at Citysearch

Some of the best BBQ in the metro Detroit area. The rib and chicken can't be beat. My favorite is called the "Gizmo". It's ribs, shrimp (just the right amount of breading), fries and bun. The fries are average and the bun is usualy a brick but so what the main dishes more than make up for it. The portions are good sized and should fill even the hearyest appitites. The price for what you get is very fair. If you live Downriver/SW Detroit and get a craving for BBQ get to Zukin's now!

FYI. This is not a sit-down type BBQ, get your food and go home.

• Pros: Taste, Portions, Price
• Cons: Bun (aka brick), fries (average), Gets busy

The only thing that could make it better is if you could eat there
