People Drive From All Over Michigan To Try The Yardbird At Slows Bar BQ In Detroit

This must-try food in Detroit named "The Yardbird" might not sound particularly enticing, but this sandwich is good enough to pull foodies in from all over. If you have a food bucket list, you might want to write this one down for a future trip. We hope you're hungry, because Slows Bar BQ is here to fill you up.

Welcome to Slows Bar BQ, a restaurant with two Detroit locations serving up slow-cooked goodness every day.

When it comes to saucy meats and sandwiches that stay in your memories, Slows knows just what to do.

The Yardbird comes in hot with a hearty helping of bacon, mushrooms, cheese, and smoked chicken smothered with Yardbird sauce.

The mustard-based sauce gives just the right amount of zing to this tiny tower of meat.

Slows specializes in smoked meat and smoked meat accessories, from sauces of all sorts to savory sides you'll struggle to choose just one of.

If you try new restaurants in a group, it might be best if everyone orders a different side to sample as a group.

Since 2005, a love of craft beer and soft, sauced meats came together to create a cornerstone over at 14th and Detroit. Somewhere between cheese and meat, a community of food lovers always finds a way.

Since then, the business has evolved to add a Midtown to-go location, a mobile catering truck, and a location in Grand Rapids.

Who knew that smoked and sauced meats would be so irresistible?

Slows Bar BQ's main Corktown location is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Which side will you choose on your first visit?

If you've already marked The Yardbird off of your Detroit food bucket list, you'll find that there are plenty of other iconic foods to try next time you visit Detroit. Food-motivated explorers have to stick together!
