The service here was great, the waitress was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is nice. Unfortunately, the food is mediocre. The brisket was super dry and without bbq sauce, not worth eating. The pork belly was ok. The smoked fish dip didn’t have a smoked fish flavor taste but was good. My son’s burger was overcooked and his fries terrible. The best thing we ate was the Caesar salad and macaroni and cheese. I definitely would not eat here again. Online the menu sounds good but the restaurant doesn’t deliver on quality of food.

Delicious smoked meat, not smothered in sweet sauce – house made BBQ sauce on the side. Mac n cheese was creamy and tasty. Great location with lots of parking.

Had a great, quiet breakfast here this morning! The American breakfasts were delicious and the cinnamon toast was delicious.
Huge shoutout to Staci, our waitress. She was so friendly and awesome! Such a kind vibe and overall a really great experience. Highly recommend!

This place is a hidden gem for anyone who craves barbeque in the Ann Arbor area. You wouldn’t know that from the name or location but give it a try and you won’t be disappointed. I tend to stick the the brisket, ribs and pulled pork. But my wife likes the smoked chicken. Meals come with 2 sides (get the salad as one of them) and portions are huge. The Mac and Cheese is really good as well.

This place is really good! The fried chicken is excellent and I always have the salmon salad when I’m in town. They’ve recently added more hours which is great if you’re staying at the Kensington….everything we’ve had from heee is delicious!

We were just looking for a nice meal last minute and stumbled upon this gem. The food was delicious. Nick (manager) and Mike (bartender) were amazing hosts and were excited to come back to visit them for another meal! Highly recommend you check them out!

I’ve never seen anyone run a bar quite like Nick Dormer. The guy is absolutely incredible — hands down one of the best bartenders and managers I’ve ever met. The way he handles the crowd, keeps the drinks flowing, and somehow still takes time to connect with every guest is next level.
Nick doesn’t just pour drinks — he sets the tone, creates the vibe, and makes Relish feel like the place everyone wants to be. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience from start to finish.
I’ve been to plenty of bars, but none are run with the same energy, precision, and personality. Nick is a total rockstar — Relish is lucky to have him.

We stayed at the neighboring hotel and after checking in we found out the restaurant was closed (at 5:45PM on a Saturday). The staff member says to us “go next door to The Kensington, they have a restaurant called Re•Lish. Way better food anyway”. So we walked next door to Re•Lish. We were glad our hotels restaurant was closed about 5mins after sitting down. Our server, Donte, was fantastic. Food was great. Our appetizer was the Corned Beef Egg Rolls, I got the Seared Mahi Mahi and my wife got the 3 PC fried chicken. Well prepared and fast service. We ended up going back the next day for breakfast, Donte was our server again (fantastic server). Really great breakfast. We are already talking about stopping in there when we travel to the Detroit Zoo (which we do quite frequently) because it is on our way.

I had the 2 meat combo with ribs and brisket. The rub seasoning was very good and the BBQ sauce was amazing! Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever eaten! Nick, the manager waited on me. He was great! Very attentive and sociable. I recommend Relish to anyone that loves BBQ, especially to the weary road warriors like myself.
