Vicki's Bar-B-Q

Vicki’s Bar-B-Q is the original home of Detroit “Pit” style Bar-B-Q. Vicki’s has been in business since 1964 specializes in wood charcoal pit cooked Spare Ribs, cherry wood smoked Rib Tips and Chicken, and battered fried Shrimp. Our secret recipe sweet vinegar BBQ sauce has been a Detroit favorite for over 50 years. Vicki’s started out as Vicki’s Shrimp Hut in 1963. With a retail space on W. Warren, Vicki’s was located near the iconic Dot & Ettas Shrimp Hut. Seeking to create a unique experience for Vicki’s, the original owners, Farfield and Vicki Butler, changed the name and added Bar-B-Q ribs to the menu. Armed with a special sauce recipe provided by a generous customer, Vicki’s Ribs took off and has been a Detroit favorite ever since.
