So my family decided on Parks this past Friday for dinner, Bad Decision!! First let me just say the young lady working the register was extremely pleasant and I'll give her a star! Now we ordered the wings, beef ribs and a slab of ribs, let's start with the chicken wings. The wings tasted and smelled like they were spoiled or going bad and they threw them on the grill to get rid of them!! The beef ribs had a good taste but No Meat on the bone!! Where was the Meat?? No one wants just a Big Bone, and for the prices of this food the quality and quantity should be Soooo Much Better, this place is a Detroit Legend!!! But the legend is not living up to the name these days... The slab and sauce were the only things ordered that were actually decent, I guess all good things come to a end and with these prices I'm not paying for this mess Never Again!!! What Happened Parks??

I've been coming to Parks for years, and I had previously given it a decent rating, but, while I like to be patient during these strange pandemic times, this was a bit beyond the pale. I placed the order before 4pm with an estimated 4:30 pick up time. Came by at 4:45 and she said she hadn't even started it because it was an online order, barked at me to get out because of the occupancy limits. So then I came back half an hour later, and it was finally ready. But $46 should be enough for three or four people, and this was a meager dinner for two. Collard greens weren't bad, for sure. Wing dings, meh? Pulled pork had the flavor, but it was sort of just a sad little smoosh between two pieces of bread (pictured-- $11 worth?). If you're gonna get BBQ and pay through the nose for it, might as well go to Slows at that point.

Yesterday I went here for the first time. Ordered a small end dinner with potato salad, Cole slaw and an extra side of French fries. paid $29. I ate a piece of the small end yesterday, a few fries, a 1 of the two pieces of bread that comes with it. The food was Not finger licking good. And for the price I really feel ripped off. The sauce is thin like hot sauce, doesn’t have any bit of bbq sauce flavor either. The fries are thin almost like shoe strings. I haven’t even looked at the potato salad or Cole slaw yet. I’m very disappointed. If the food was delicious it would’ve been different. But nope, this is not it. If it was this food would’ve gotten diminished yesterday instead a little nibble here and there.

The food was low quality and over priced. The Mac and cheese was over salted and had no seasoning and appeared to be made on the stove top. (I expected southern baked Mac and cheese. The Chicken wing dings were clearly bought frozen wings that they deep fried. They forgot my to give me my bread. The atmosphere was depressing, and the serving sizes were tiny.
