Great brisket!! I ended up not even using the sauce bc it was already so moist and flavorful. Baked beans were tasty with just a little kick of heat but not too much. Mac and cheese was creamy and yum. Upper dining room is cozy and squeaky clean. Good music, great vibe overall. Will definitely return.

We had the brisket combo with mac & cheese and cornbread(1 piece jalapeño and 1 butter crumb). The food was awesome! Every item was excellent. The dining area upstairs was very comfortably decorated. The service was very friendly as well. We were given salmon to try and it was so good! Everything was amazing! We will definitely be back. We would love to see bbq sauces on the tables so we can try them all and the techno music seemed contrary to the chill/comfy vibe. Overall we loved it!

Stop by and get yourself some really good brisket, pulled pork, or ribs. This is some clean bbq, not all sauced up. The rub and smoke is very nice, not overpowering. They have plenty custom of sauces available.

First off, I love what they have done with the place from prior ownership. Very inviting and a great place to eat & chat. The owners were very welcoming and gave great recommendations.
I enjoyed my meal (brisket sandwich, mac & cheese, and beans). I wouldn’t say it was great but it was a good sandwich.
They are very expensive compared to other BBQ locations in the area. The prior ownership had similar prices, which is why I only went there once. The prices compare to a very established, tenured, and well known BBQ joint, which they are not yet. $22-$26 for a brisket sandwich combo (not including a drink) is way too expensive.
You can get just as good or even better (depending on your preference) BBQ with a combo meal (that includes a drink) for a better price just north of them.
I am assuming they do this because they are located in downtown Plymouth? I would recommend to Blue Kuna to drop your prices, gain credibility for a time, and then raise them accordingly.
Northern states have a tendency to have higher BBQ prices since it’s not a cultural commodity as it is in southern states. Supply & demand I guess. But it’s unfortunate people don’t realize they are paying way too much for BBQ only because there are only a few places in the Detroit area.
Until the prices drop, I personally won’t be coming back.

I was really looking forward to trying this place and unfortunately I was underwhelmed. The service was great. The brisket was chopped which is a big issue for me. It should at least be made known if that is the case. The pulled pork was fine. I am a fan of a smokey flavor but the chicken tasted like a smoke bomb.
The two biggest complaints I had were,
1. The sauce. The flavor was FANTASTIC but the stinginess of it was outrageous. I got two little minuscule sample cups for my meal. I have never seen this from a barbecue place. Put the sauce on the table and let people go crazy. I am a firm believer that the sauce should be free but if it is not, you shouldn’t give people an eye droppers worth.
2. The coleslaw. I love a good coleslaw and this was inedible. It tasted like cabbage marinated in a gallon of apple cider vinegar overnight. I don’t know if there was a mistake in the batch or what but neither of us could take a bite without a grimace and a gag.
This sounds harsh but I think they are very close to being great. The location, service and atmosphere are great, it is a shame the food is subpar.

Seriously the cutest place with some fantastic food! We stopped the other day and had some great bbq. The ribs were absolutely amazing, we tried and loved it all but I already want to go back for them. I was so excited to be able to have them with their sauce that I love so much. This will definitely be a spot we frequent.

When you walk in that smokehouse aroma hits you right in the appetite. Fast friendly service and out of this world food. Had the Super Bowl Stanley cup grand slam of brisket, cornbread, Cole slaw and the Mac and cheese. All amazing. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing food. Great people. Great prices! I suggest you try the pulled pork sandwich! And the jalapeño cornbread was the perfect blend of sweet and spice. Please support this small business. I want to see them thrive!

We ordered the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches plus all four sides. Everything was fantastic. The meat was tender and flavorful, sauces were also excellent. The baked beans were our favorite side. The owners were very friendly and let us sample the bacon and smoked chicken. Definitely recommend this spot, we will be returning in the near future!
