Description

Chicago BBQ offers a mixed dining experience, ranging from exceptional to disappointing. Many praise the flavorful chicken tips, hearty sides like coleslaw and cowboy beans, and friendly, personable staff who provide great service, especially for catering events. However, some customers report inconsistent food quality, particularly dry ribs and brisket lacking proper smoke and seasoning. Service hiccups during pick-ups have also been noted, affecting special occasions. While reasonable prices and generous portions are appreciated, those seeking authentic, well-executed BBQ might find the experience variable. Overall, this spot is worth trying for its highlights but may not satisfy true BBQ purists.

I was left scrambling to find an alternative for dinner at the last minute. Fortunately, I managed to find another BBQ place nearby that was able to prepare the same order in a shorter time frame and at a lower price. Clearly, I won't be ordering from here again. Customer experience is just as important as the food itself.

Best smoked meat around. The meat was tender and smoked to perfection. The guy at the front who took my order was polite and extremely nice.

Phenomenal experience the staff was very personable and everything was amazing. I went back and ordered everything for catering for my son's birthday party. 100% recommend this place without it out.
