Big Red's BBQ Pit — Restaurant in Dearborn

Response to owner:

Dude I can tell the difference between cooked and uncooked chicken. Yes the chicken was pink from the inside but not because it was smoked. I bit into it and it was raw chicken. As far as the weight. All your reviews speak for themselves where people have complained on not getting the portion that they ordered. And take ownership man. If you mess up, try to make it right for the customer instead of being defensive. Also I can take many of your good reviews are fake.

I decided to try this place out as Mr. Chimetime gave it a good review. I am very surprised that he did.

I ordered the $29.99 Combo 1 which included 1/4 pound brisket, half chicken, corn bread and a side where I got Mac and cheese.

First thing the total came to 33 dolrs and some odd change. It said the combo was 31 dollars. I think they charge extra for credit card usage. That is fine even though I don't think CC companies allow that but that just should jack up the price of the food.

As for the food. There was literally like 4-5 small pieces of brisket. I am pretty confident that it wasn't 1/4th of a pound but I didn't weigh it so I will give them benefit of the doubt however the brisket was dry not well seasoned and had this weird yellow sauce on it. The cornbread was so so. The Mac and cheese was garbage. It seemed like they use the powdered cheese. I took one spoon and I was done. The chicken looked ok looking at it but it was completely raw from the inside.

Definitely a thumbs down. I wouldn't waste money on it. Famous Dave's is not that good but its better than this.

I am including the picture of the chicken to show I am not...

I was totally disappointed. I drove all the way from grand Blanc, Michigan hoping to get a taste of your lamb chops you didn’t have any. So I decided to try a slab of beef ribs, and also oxtails and also your chicken wings. All the way home had my mouth set for this delicious extravaganza ended up. It was absolutely terrible not only was I eating what was probably not freshly cooked food , ( It must’ve been a day or two old food ). It was so tough. I could barely get my teeth into them. I had to re-cooked all of them to try to make them at least tender enough for me to eat. I spent so much money on this. And after all that they were way too chewy to digest way too chewy for me to eat so I’m sorry that I spent my money on your food. Your advertisements are unfortunately False. , Not only was I disappointed but My brother as well. He lives in your vicinity and couldn’t wait to try your food because it is a rare occasion we see barbecued-beef of any kind or lamb as we do not eat pork so we were very happy to find a place that didn’t cater to pork. Sadly what we paid for might as well had been pork!

Sad in Grand...

we supplied big reds bbq pit with hickory wood for cooking for over a year, and every time the order was complete, getting payment was an issue. conveniently, he would not be present upon delivery, and we would have to chase down payment, sometimes for weeks, and one time, it was until the next order was delivered, before payment was made. he even used 'the check is in the mail' excuse, and it wasn't. shame on us for taking so long, but we instituted an electronic payment system, and same as cash pricing, to remedy the situation. and, on his last order, we insisted on payment prior to delivery. The day of scheduled delivery arrived, and payment was still not received, so we bumped him back in the schedule 3 days, with a contingency day for weather. He was not happy and desperately needed the wood for cooking that day. but since no payment, then no delivery. we have other customers where there is trust built and can be more flexible with payment terms. but big reds never established any trust, rather the opposite. WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EXTENDING CREDIT TO THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE...
