Vicki's Bar-B-Q has been a classic spot in Detroit, but my recent visit left me a bit disappointed.

The atmosphere is genuinely casual and trendy, but the service was underwhelming - seemed like the staff was having a rough day. I ordered the ribs, which had a nice smoky flavor but weren’t as tender as I hoped. The barbecue sauce, while popular with some locals, didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

I was lured in by their reputation, but maybe it’s time for a refresh? I may give it another shot for lunch, but I hope they can elevate both quality and service next time...
