The food was great! We ordered the Feast for 2. It came with a good deal of food and at $50 was only about $20 more than we would have spent on some crappy fast food! The brisket was GREAT! The ribs were GREAT! The sides were GREAT! The fried chicken was GREAT! It is always nice to spend money on eating out and feel satisfied and like your money was well spent.

Had a great experience at this location. Our server, Luis, was excellent. Always ready to assist and very professional. I cant wait to come back!.

BAD BRADS BBQ REVIEWS

Awesome place. I love Pizza and the pie here is very good. The crispy sandwich was great as well. My son dropped a spoon after the meal and an employee who was not our server ran up asking if we needed a new one. Over all a great place and very cozy.

Great food and quick, friendly service. I'm a huge fan of brisket and they did not disappoint. We also tried the pig candy, never had anything like it before. It was addicting! We will definitely go back.

Alex was the absolute best! He made mine and my husbands birthday extra special! This is our fave bbq spot! Thank you for excellent service and food!!!.

WOODPILE BBQ SHACK REVIEWS

I've had the smoked ham, chili and ribs so far and all have been really good. Ribs were fall off the bone tender with good bark, paired with their BBQ sauce they're amazing. Chili was really hearty, not crazy spicy but with just enough heat. Ham slices were thick and juicy. Can't wait to try more off this menu!.

Hands down the best BBQ I've had since I moved to Michigan. The brisket was the star. I judge every BBQ place by their brisket and this did not disappoint. The ribs, burnt ends, candied bacon and pit beans were delicious. I'm so glad I don't live close to this place because I would be broke, but very satisfied.

Cashier guy was real cool helped out with the menu got what I wanted and I liked it.
