About RE BBQ

RE BBQ is a mostly outdoor, carryout barbecue spot in the Woodward Corridor of Ferndale, MI, known for adapting global cuisine to slow-and-low, wood-fired cooking. At 600 Woodward Heights, it operates as a one-person kitchen, a detail diners repeatedly single out alongside food they consider worth the wait. Frito Pie piled with jalapeños gets a specific mention. Outdoor seating and dine-in service are available, but there is no table service; dinner carryout is the main focus.

The usual schedule is Thursday evenings, with some weeks shifting to Wednesday or Friday, and weather can change service. Check by phone or subscribe to the once-weekly mailing list before heading over. Lines sometimes stretch into the parking lot, so dress for the weather. Free lot and street parking are available, along with wheelchair-accessible parking, an accessible entrance and seating. RE BBQ takes no reservations, has no restroom and does not offer delivery.
