Ordered takeout. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered the ribs and they were exactly what a barbecue should taste like. Smoky, flavourful, after each bite making you want to take another. Has a nice patio space. Plan to stop by when I have time to dine in.

We can't get enough of this spot! Everything from the smoked wings, to the ribs and even the ham is outstanding! My favorite sides are the greens (pretty spicy in my opinion though) and the sweet potatoes! They are super sweet but honestly the perfect addition to a Smokey meal. We always take our food to go but in the summer we'll have to try dining here. Prices are fair for quality and quantity of food! Overall a great spot that we've loved for years!

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon, and it wasn't very busy at all. They have a window you can order from, and you can choose to sit at picnic tables under umbrellas to the side, or they have a large covered area in the back. We got the Pit Master Platter so that we could try a variety, and it was plenty for both of us to share. Our favorites were the smoked cheddar and jalapeño sausage and pulled pork the best. The ribs were tough and probably our least favorite. The meat was seasoned well and had great flavor, more than what I've tasted at most other barbecue places. The sauces were good--we liked the Carolina Vinegar and Spicy (it wasn't that spicy, but it was nice to have the option).

We ordered carryout therefore, this is only a review of the food. We ordered a shareable platter and extra brisket. BRISKET - The brisket was outstanding. It had an excellent smoke ring and was not dried out. Had a mix of point and flat and the flat was juicy too. Will order again. PULLED CHICKEN - Ok. A little dried out without great flavor. Won't order again. PULLED PORK - Above Average. The pork was good, but I have had a lot better and feel my shoulder is better. Smoke was average. It was tender and an ok sized portion. SAUSAGE - Excellent. The homemade jalapeno smoked sausage was excellent. This along with the brisket made for an enjoyable meal. I will be ordering this a lot more here. Don't know if this is an option, but if this was served with some fresh or pickled jalapenos it would knock it out of the park. The woman at checkout was friendly. If you haven't been there, there is only outdoor seating. I will be back when I am not smoking my own meats.

Best BBQ you can find! Clawson resident here. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. They have the best ribs, brisket and mac n cheese. Not a fan of their sweet potatoes I think it's too sweet. Love their hot sauce. My nephew loved the brisket and the ribs. I think next time we'll order their sandwiches

Dinner with a co worker. He had a pulled pork sandwich, he says outstanding! Sides of Mac and cheese , and bake beans. Great ! I had the three meats. Ribs, brisket, and pulled chicken. Excellent!! Double collard greens...delicious!

I saw a post on r/BBQ about Woodpile and so many people recommended it that I decided to stop by over the weekend to get the Pit Master Platter. At Woodpile, you line up in the front to place your order, then you take your number and select a table in the back. The staff will bring your food out for you and after you're done, you bus your own table. All seats are outside only - several picnic tables nestled along the road, and a large covered area in the back. There are fans running on the ceiling to help cool you off, but this isn't a place I'd go if it's really hot and humid out. Luckily it wasn't too bad the day I went. Pit Master Platter ($25) - This comes with a huge variety of meat and you get to select two sides of your choice. Ribs - The ribs are pretty bad. Tough, chewy, and dry, the trifecta of bad bbq characteristics. The ribs here are barely better than a pre-made grocery store rib. The rub is the only highlight. (2/5) Pulled Chicken - The chicken is moist and tender and still retains the natural chicken flavor through the spice rub. I didn't think it needed any of the sauces at the table to dress it up. (4/5) Pork - Not bad at all. They actually have a legit Eastern NC-style vinegar mop here - didn't expect that since most places outside of NC add ketchup/tomato base (more Western-style) or mustard (More SC-style) to their Carolina-style bbq sauces. Probably because most people don't know how to use it. The mop is a little sweet, quite tangy from the apple cider vinegar, and with just a small amount of spicy kick. The squirt bottle they use is not appropriate for the consistency of the mop. It squirts out with high pressure, resulting in the sauce splattering everything. At any rate, it pairs very well with the pork, which is smoky, not too dry, and pulled well. (4/5) Brisket - They give several pieces of lean brisket and several more fatty pieces. The brisket is smoky and quite peppery on the exterior. The lean pieces are not too dry but not something I'd ever clamor to eat. The fattier pieces are superior - great flavor and tender, and also well rendered so that it doesn't feel like you're eating gristle. There's a good amount of bark in the platter, but none of it is crispy. (4/5) Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage - The sausage is the best meat on the platter, with gooey cheese, a bit of a kick from the jalapeno, with a texture that is perfect for sausage; not too chewy, soft but with a bit of a snappy bite. (5/5) Collards Greens - A bit tangy from vinegar, quite spicy from pepper especially if you let it sit. There's a small amount of shredded meat mixed in. The greens are cooked until tender and delicious. (4/5) Pit Beans - Super sweet mix of tender cooked beans with the tiniest amount of dried brisket mixed in. Not sure if this is pre-made/food service bought, but it kind of tastes like it. There's nothing really special about the beans. (3/5) At each table, there's a wire basket of five different barbecue sauces you can use. They have Carolina vinegar, Shack Sauce (hot and sweet), Sweet BBQ (no heat), and Honey Mustard. The last bottle is ominously labeled with a fire emoji. I've only visited a couple of BBQ places in Metro Detroit (due to the fact that they've all been sub-par so far) but I have Woodpile at the top for now. The meat isn't top tier, but it's good enough to satisfy any BBQ craving. Bathrooms - Single unisex room kind of hidden. It's behind the unlabeled door in the front of the building Overall rating of the food this visit: 3.71/5
