The bbq chicken and ribtips are so good. The sauce is the pies de resistance. The baked beans are very good, nice and thick with a decent amount of ground meat. Tastes like what I would make. View all feedback.
What Brenda Nixon dislikes about Slab-b-que:
I have to ask – who thought it was a good idea to serve coleslaw in such a tiny thimble-sized container, complete with a lid? The container is so small that a fork couldn't even fit inside it. If you're not going to provide a decent portion, just skip it altogether. The prices are too high to be getting such a sparse serving.

As for accessibility, the restaurant is located on the street level, making it easy to access without any stairs.

If you're not going to provide a decent portion, just skip it altogether. The prices are too high to be getting such a sparse serving. It's frustrating, especially when we talk about supporting Black-owned businesses, and this is how we get treated! I ordered a Turkey Keg, three large turkey tips, and four wing dinners on July 7, 2023, and made the trek across town for it. We really need to do better!
I honestly found this place very disappointing. As someone from the South, I can assure you that this is not good barbecue at all. They advertise it as such and charge a premium, but all I got was a large bag of greasy, fatty meat. I won't be spending any more of my hard-earned money here. Consider yourself warned!

The food here is great. I ordered on-line, and was given at time that it would be ready to pick it up. However, I wanted to pickup at a later time. The automated system didn't prompt me to give the time I wished to pickup. When I got there my order was not ready. I had to wait until it was prepared which wasn't very long. It worked out.
Slab South Shore is a neighborhood barbecue favorite on Chicago’s South Side, known for tender rib tips, juicy wings, tangy mixed sauce, fresh-cut fries and hearty sides. Regulars praise friendly service, clean, mural-adorned surroundings and dependable takeout, though online pickup timing and occasional order accuracy can falter. Critics note inconsistent portion sizes, sporadic greasiness and rare overcooked or bland items. Overall, it’s an authentic, sauce-forward BBQ spot loved by locals willing to overlook occasional quality or service hiccups.

I absolutely loved the food, especially the specialty turkey tip!
I absolutely adore this place! The food is always fantastic and never lets me down. We usually place our orders online for quicker pickup. The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Don't forget to check out the amazing murals on the front of the building!
The chicken wings are absolutely fantastic!
