Earl's Bbq - Chicago
Earl's Bbq
Description
A casual barbecue spot with standout brisket, bold sauces and occasional crowd-pleasers like ribs and a well-received Beyond Burger. Service and hospitality can be warm and accommodating, but inconsistency is common: meats sometimes arrive dry, overcooked or not hot, portions and sides are small, and prices feel high. The corner location has tight parking and a worn appearance; drive-thru and delivery add convenience. Expect flavorful highs alongside uneven execution—great for BBQ fans willing to accept some risk.

I was looking for a good place to find some rib tips. I ordered two large tips, and I was pleasantly surprised they were nice and tender and they were meat not very fatty had a nice smoke flavor very tender. The sides were good the mac cheese and the fries. The sauces were good honey, barbecue spicy sauce and a mixture sauce of both flavors. They had various sauces that you could add so I asked for it plain and I added the sauce later. I would definitely recommend Earls and I will be back!
I have only ever ordered delivery from Earl’s, but it has been excellent every time. Out of 10 times I’ve ordered, only once was something wrong we received beans instead of collards. NBD. You get a decent portion of food for a reasonable BBQ price. So far my favorite is the brisket burrito, which comes with a surprisingly good salsa verde. Are they the best BBQ spot in town? No, but it’s good food for the price and they are consistent. Will continue to support this place as long as they continue to keep up the good grub!
10/10 I do recommend! Friendly service with great recommendations. This is soul food at its best with ribs that fall off the bone and Mac and cheese that’s better than your mom’s.
The best bbq in Chicago. Friendly atmosphere, and the food is amazing. Try the mac and cheese! Drove 3 hours, was worth it!
Tried this place without looking at reviews. Will return here. Even though they messed up my very first order. I called, and they compensated with the right one. Mistakes happen. Their sauces are tasty and the meat is just right. Glad to know there're good BBQ places near my home.
