Slows coming to Berkley

Downtown Berkley dropped some mouthwatering news on their Facebook page, teasing, “Get your napkins ready, Berkley. Something slow-cooked and delicious is on its way.” The big reveal? Detroit’s legendary Slows Bar BQ is coming to town, bringing its iconic flavors to the heart of Berkley. The new Slows location, in the previous Berkley Common space at 3087 Twelve Mile Road, will feature full-service dining downstairs; a future patio/parklet on Griffith Avenue and a second-floor space for private events and catering. “With strong roots in the community — co-owner Josh Keillor grew up in Royal Oak and attended Shrine High School alongside fellow co-owners Brian and Terry Perrone — this expansion truly feels like a homecoming,” shared Downtown Berkley. The Slows Bar BQ flagship location in Corktown will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in September. Over the years, Slows Bar BQ became famous for putting a gourmet spin on barbecue cooked fresh every day, and for its dedication to community. The restaurant has appeared on Adam Richman’s Man vs. Food and the “Yardbird” sandwich was featured in the first season of Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich in America. Slows has also been featured on other national television shows and in publications, including the Food Network (top places to eat) and The New York Times. Watch for the Berkley Slows location to be open sometime this fall. 3087 12 Mile Road slowsbarbq.com
