Danky’s Bar-B-Q

Great brisket sandwich with javelina sauce. Staff courteous and dining facility very clean.

Very good bbq and service and you have a great place to eat. I would eat here over Famous Daves anytime.

3 meat combo — Chicken Breast, Brisket, Hot Links w/​pork belly beans
The smoke smells hits you from the door. As a relocated southerner, I was surprised to find a place like Danky’s in my area. A little drive from my house but I try to go at least once a month the quench my «caveman» thirst.
ESPN + Tailgating style food and beers + The best beans you will ever eat = Dank

GREAT FOOD!!! Javelina sauce is delish!!! And sea salt caramel fries for dessert were perfect!

Great brisket, fair to midlen pork ribs, coffee shop environment, inexpensive. Try it I liked it.

It’s nice to have a Small Business restaurant owner in the neighborhood. The food and service was great. Important to support local! We want them to stay. Keep up the good work.

My wife and I got chicken plates with fries and coleslaw. The chicken was great, my wife loved the fries, and I thought the coleslaw wasn’t bad. It isn’t soggy like alot of coleslaws. I wasn’t huge in their bbq sauces, but if you like spicy you’ll probably love them. They had to much kick for me. I’d say add a few sauces in there and the rankys would be even better. For sure going back

Great food, great personal service and very relaxed atmosphere. I can’t say enough good things. So excited to watch this small business explode. Definitely try thus place!

Randomly decided to stop and grab a pint of the baked beans after reading about them on Unilocal and how good they are. They did not disappoint! Probably the best baked beans I have ever had! They are meaty and flavorful and paired well with the rack of ribs I had cooking at home in my oven. I can’t wait to go back and give the brisket and pulled pork a try. If they taste anything like the baked beans did today, they will be dynamite!

Definitely will return! Great atmosphere, super friendly employees!
We ordered hot links, pulled pork, the pork belly beans, okra and mac and cheese. Both plates came with cornbread too. I’m from Tennessee, so I know good BBQ. Everything was great! The beans were probably the best I’ve ever had! Loved them! My only complaint was about the mac and cheese. It was a little bland and not very cheesy. So we just doused it with some cajun seasoning at home. I’d also love to see some sort of potato on the menu other than fries, maybe mashed or a baked potato.
Excited to return!

Had to give Danks’ another try since it is right by work… had the Brisquet and was pleased by the improvement in the portion this time as well as the quality of the cut. The staff was more than accommodating which was nice … I’ll be back for a third try soon.

I don’t want to knock a small business because I appreciate those, and I like non-​chainy restaurants. This place is just OK. Wasn’t bad, but definitely didn’t blow my socks off. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a side of beans. The beans had a heavy BBQ sauce flavor to them, they were very rich which made me not want to eat a lot. I did like that they put the pulled pork in there, so that was good, but I just didn’t love them. The sandwich kinda left something to be desired. Not very much flavor meat wise or sauce wise and the bun was soggy from the juice in the pulled pork :(soggy bread is gross… So eat fast.
I debated on ordering the apple pie, but decided against it because I didn’t really know what to expect.
Not a home run, but if you’re hungry you could do a lot worse.

Service was really good, nice, attentive and friendly. The food was good, but not out of this world for me. I felt like the membrane was still on the back of my ribs. Pork sandwich wad good. Coleslaw a little different with apple in it, but good.
Give them a try, they may your next favorite BBQ place.

The smoky aroma attracted me from the parking lot and I wasn’t even there for food but I couldn’t resist ordering. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the owner picks the playlist of songs playing in the background. Be prepared for a pop quiz on who’s playing.
The brisket is lean and tasty, and I like their traditional sauce. If you like a little kick give the Javelina sauce a try. One thing for sure, you have to try the Pork Belly Pit Beans… OMgosh amazing!
I haven’t tried the Memaw’s Michigan Farm Family home apple pie a la mode yet, but I’m coming back for it on a special trip next time.

Omg the ribs are so amazing here! :) by far the best bbq ribs I have had :) I had ordered a full slab, which is in fact more than enough for a family of maybe 3 – 4 people, which I ended up eating shamelessly on my own over 2 meals :) Great place and the portions are amazing for the price. Love the sides too! I’ll be going in soon for more of the sandwiches and meat delights they have on the menu.
The service is good, and the people there are real nice and friendly!

Been waiting 20 years for a great BBQ place to open up. Finally, we have one. Ribs were amazing. And those beans. Crazy good flavor. Don’t pass those up! Will be back for sure!

I had the three meat platter — hot link, chicken breast, brisket with the split side of beans and coleslaw and a side of the macaroni and cheese. The hot link appeared to be boiled and not what you would expect from a BBQ house. The chicken was moist and the brisket was not and the BBQ smoke flavor was mild, too mild for my taste. The macaroni and cheese was the worst. Warmed up noodles with a canned cheese sauce mixed in and tasted bland like something you would expect from the cheese machine at Circle K.
The slaw was just ok and the beans were the best offering. For a $ 17 lunch I was expecting much more. The staff is friendly but appears to be frazzled when more than three people are in the restaurant.

Pretty much steady as she goes the 2^nd time around. They added a lunch special, but it actually is only a free drink if you buy a sandwich and a side. Still not a fan of most of the meats just sitting in metal tins, but I did hear the guy lightly chopping my chicken breast for the sandwich. I know of no barbeque style that eminates from Michigan, so these guys are clearing winging it or there is some famous Q up there that has been a hidden secret. The mild BBQ sauce is tasty though, but hoping they add turkey and make it a full service meat factory.
Also why would you have the girl at the register leave the register to drop the frozen fries in the deep fryer. If you want to keep her busy, then have her cut your fries fresh and give the customers something better. Stop hiding the BBQ sauces also — break them out so we can try everything.

A new BBQ joint in the neighborhood — hurray! This is a review based on trying exactly one thing on the menu so far — I’ll try to get back and update this.
I ordered the Curly Wolf BBQ Sandwich for lunch today — the young lady at the register said this was one of her two favorite sandwiches.
This is a chopped brisket with their «Javelina Suace» — this is advertised as spicy yet tangy — and spicy was confirmed when ordering.
It was very tasty, but not really spicy, so it didn’t completely agree with my expectation that it would raise some sweat on my brow.
Not fair to hold that against it. As I said, it was very tasty. The meat was also tasty. One of the other guys ordered the Danky Dank (pork with a relish based bbq sauce). He said it was pretty good, but liked their classic sauce better. He got a taste of the classic sauce from the other guy, who ordered a brisket plate. I didn’t try any of this, but it had a nice smoke ring, and he assured me it was tasty, and that the sauce was also good.
Definitely planning to head back and try some more items (I noticed they have hot links :-))
Good place, friendly folks — give it a shot!

I am thrilled that there is a new place in the neighborhood and am truly hoping that it does well. I will definitely try it again because I see the potential and think I may have ordered the wrong thing, but it is all I can review. My daughter had the BBQ chicken sandwich with cole slaw and she liked it. She said, «It’s no Honey Bears, but very good».
I had their special Dank Sandwich. The nice cashier repeatedly said to me when I asked about the sauce that it was a «relish sauce». I guess I should have ordered something different, but I usually like to try a specialty. The meat was tender and delicious, but it was not BBQ sauce at all – it was like straight relish. Don’t get me wrong, I love relish so I figured it was infused into the BBQ sauce and would just give it some flavor. I ate half of it and that was enough because the relish overload was just too much. I also thought if they named a sandwich after their business, it must be a favorite. It is not something I will ever order again.
Sides we tried: mac and cheese, cole slaw, and beans. The beans were delcious and I would definitely get them again. Mac and cheese was bland, but ok to eat. Nothing special. The cole slaw was also fine, but nothing special. We would have tried the Apple Pie, but they were out of them.
All in all, I will try it again. I read all the good reviews, and I think i will try some different items. I HATE to give this place a low rating, but I am hoping that next visit will be better. The service was excellent and the people are friendly. It is also priced right. I will definitely edit this review if I have a different impression.
