About:Memphis Smoke's large dining area offers a modicum of comfort with a maximum of noise provided by first-rank blues bands in no hurry to cut short their sets. The food, along with good hamburgers and other respectable bar fare, runs to southern specialties such as pork ribs, catfish, red beans and rice, and a country greens dish made from collards, mustard greens and Swiss chard. The mood is festive and friendly, but stay away if you're allergic to noise or smoke.

    NOTE: I'm a Detroiter and I've been to a lot of blues clubs in the U.S., Europe and else where, and though I may seem harsh, hopefully my critique motivates those in charge to "step it up" an make Memphis Smoke better.

    I've been to Memphis Smoke many times and it is ok for suburbanites who don't know any better and are accustomed to their food being "processed, pasturized, homoginized etc. etc. etc." Fortunately the satff are pleasant and reasonably attentive which goes a long way in overcoming many shortfalls. The bands are great though sometimes a little more originality in the line-up would helpful and freshen things up.

    An excellant direct comparison to Memphis Smoke is, The Slippery Noodle Inn, in Indianapolis. Though the building stucture is basically the same, everything there is a notch or two higher in every catagory. Memphis Smoke should provide to the Detroit area the same quality in every aspect that The Slippery Noodle Inn provides to Indianapolis.

    I think Memphis Smoke just stopped caring, and it shows in their food. Saying it's mediocre is being kind. My brisket was dry and tough with no flavor other than the "Open Pit" poured on top. My fries tasted like they were made the day before and reheated. And CANNED green beans!?
    I had ordered wet ribs a year or so ago and they were terrible, but I chalked it up to being take-out, so I wanted to give them another chance. Well, I did, and it will be their last chance.
    Maybe the music and drinks are good, the food isn't.
