Barbecue joint adds to downtown Wyandotte's restaurant options this summer

Downtown Wyandotte's main street is getting a new barbecue restaurant this summer in ALVI's BBQ.

"Our focus will be on rustic-themed, down-home southern barbecue," says ALVI's owner Al Fritz.

The downtown space at 3233 Biddle Ave. will be restored to its original 1921 condition, he says. There will be a mix of family-style tables and tables for four and two. An outdoor dining area is also planned as the city works to increase the number of establishments with sidewalk dining.

The facade for Alvi's is undergoing a complete overhaul as renovations for the dining room and kitchen, which will turn out ribs, pulled pork, brisket, chicken, sausage, wings and catfish.
