Sterling's has the best of everything -- the food and the service make you feel like you're sharing a great meal with family and friends.
My boyfriend luckily happened upon this restaurant several months ago, and it immediately became a weekly staple for us. My boyfriend has managed to happily eat his way through the entire menu! We've been to 49 states and two continents between us, and no other BBQ joint holds a candle to Sterling's. The food seems to be the perfect combination of flavor and tradition, and it's clearly a labor of love. I have to say -- BEST fried chicken I've had anywhere, hands down.
Besides the great food, the people really make Sterling's stand out. The staff is always friendly and helpful. No matter what time we visit or how busy it gets, it's always great service. Every time we eat at Sterling's we leave with full bellies and smiles on our faces. You really can't go wrong here, and we always recommend Sterling's Old Style BBQ. This place truly is the real deal!
Omg best BBQ and soul food place I've had in a very long time services was great workers was funny and very friendly can't wait to go back I had Mac and cheese, turkey chops,dressing and the best catfish
Great $5 Lunch Menu Friendly Staff ... Definitely Will Be Back ( On I Had A Burger Too That Didn't Even Make It To Get A Pic Lol )
Food is very good. Seasoned just right! Slow cooked meats and so delicious. Best prices and substitute options ever with great portions. Service was very good polite and friendly staff. I get the serving in carry out container for the customers convenience. I like that because it saves time of asking for one because you're gonna want to take your food home anyway. To those who think 15 minutes is too long to wait for a hot fresh home cooked meal...you should compare to the fast food and buffets in town and reconsider. You're getting fresh food! Waaaay better! Oh their catering is great also.
Had the chicken and ribs combo. Food was excellent as was the service. Head a lot of sauce on everything, and while I prefer a dry rub on my ribs, the sauce was tasty. Not in the best neighborhood but will go there again. Large menu too.
Excellent BBQ, and tasty sides. Nothing better in Detroit. Great staff.
Best BBQ I have ever had no problems ever only pure happiness whenever I'm there. Hands down the best place I have ever been. I could live off their mac and cheese its the best mac you will find east of the Mississippi! Take into consideration I have never been west of the Mississippi!
I bought smothered turkey chops with greens and yams for myself.I got my wife turkey chops ,cabbage, and macaroni.Ohhhh my goodness 👍. If you love that true southern taste(Sterling's is the place to go). Oh and i must add (the waitress was very nice as well). Going back this weekend.👍
I had the loaded fries topped with beef brisket and it pretty tasty!
Staff is very personable to include the co-owner. Prices were good for quantity of food. REAL smoked food...not artificial flavoring. Their French fries were delicious with and without bar b que sauce...rib tips had a kick. Smoked flavor reminds me of bar b que i had on Beal street in Memphis...i bet their brisket is awesome!
