Sometimes, people are at work, and only have a few minutes to check websites. But I'm glad I gave you an opportunity for a potshot.

Ah, DetroitYES. You *never* change.

I agree, I'd heard all the hype and was excited to try them. I'm a mac&cheese lover so was excited to try that after all the accolades, but I found it a bit greasy and not as tasty as I can make from scratch. The BBQ was definitely good but not 'the best' I've had. I'd give them a chance again though especially since I'm happy to see a local company with so much popularity continue to invest in the area.

Isnt that the old church building with the "GOLD" tag on it across from the old mini mansion?

**Downriviera** · October-22-09, 09:56 AM

I love their food and I love their great bourbon selection even more.

Gotta love d'yes. 2 of the first 6 replies were complaining about the place.

**Lowell** · October-22-09, 02:09 PM

Wasn't that a Marshall's Restaurant Supply facility? [Birdseye view] Trying to remember...

It doesn't mention anything about sit-down. There is no parking unless they strike a deal on the lot to the north, but they thrive in spite of no parking where they are.

What a great success story. I love the place -- when I can get in. LOL.

From what I understand the new location will be a carry-out and catering locale only, with plans to expand into indoor dining in the future.

Toolbox · October-22-09, 07:25 PM

old news, they have owned that building for almost 2 years.

**1KielsonDrive** · October-22-09, 08:02 PM

I've never been overly impressed with their food either. Regardless, this is good news. A rare commodity in Detroit. CONGRATULATIONS SLOWS! Maybe they'll open more locations and/or new concepts. It's always nice to drive by their location on Michigan Avenue, as I have a few times this week, and see all of the life at that corner.

My sophisticated and experienced critique of Slow's food comes from years of dining in fine restaurants such as TelWay, Mott's, Mike's Famous Ham Place, etc. So, I know you'll give heavy consideration to my viewpoints.

Thank you for your "sophisticated" opinion. Your contribution to this thread is extremely helpful.

GO SLOW'S!!! Even in this economic downturn, you have loyal customers who come to your place on a regular basis and look forward to your expansion.

Jesus Christ, jcole why ya gotta be a dick. It was a simple fucking question that took two seconds to answer. Get over yourself.

I love the "happy for this news but I think they suck" responses as well. Stay classy detroityes.

And it would have taken her less time to click the link AroundTown kindly provided than it did for her to post and then check back for an answer.
People take time to provide links, maps, photos, etc and others still want them to read it to them too.

People take time to provide information and then others want them to do the research for them.

I am glad you are the self imposed internet time police. Thank you for telling us how to spend our time.

Thanks, Gumby, but I'm OK with it. I think the progression of the thread shows which of us are interested in patronizing Slow's, and which of us don't have any social skills.
