Porky's BBQ and Catering Arlington Heights, Illinois

Portions are small, really the size we should be eating, so be prepared. The pulled pork was very good, the brisket had its 3/4 inch fat cap still on, a problem when it's in a mixed in a sandwich combo, but it was tasty. The hush puppies and mustardo were fabulous.

I am not sure what this place is supposed to be but it is not BBQ. More like bad grilling. Chicken is juicier and more flavorful at KFC. Mine was dry. Ribs are tougher than shoe leather. If you have to rip the meat off the bone and hope you don’t break your teeth it is NOT BBQ. They also had a layer of pepper on them that I had to scrape off. The spice was overwhelming Hopefully bad day at the office for chef.

The best BBQ in Arlington Heights. Some things to try - the turkey is always moist and delicious (hard to pull off), the rib tips and pastrami (both surprisingly lean), and the pecan pie.

Had takeout beef tips , mushrooms and brisket sandwich. The worst food ever. Mushrooms are primarily breading with tiny mushrooms and the tips were almost impossible to chew .

First of all the moment you walk into Porky’s you know you came to the right place. If you like BBQ, it smells like absolute heaven. We used Porky’s to cater our son’s first communion party and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. When placing the order, they provided guidance for the size of our party and it was spot on. We ordered a trey of the Pulled Pork, Brisket and Turkey and it came with rolls and a variety of BBQ Sauces. We had a mixed crew of family and friends of all ages and everyone loved it. I can’t wait to try other items off the menu and will definitely use them again in the future to cater other events.

Hands-down the BEST BBQ experience I’ve ever had!!!

I had the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and sweet potato fries, and every single bite was absolute perfection. The brisket was smoky, tender, and packed with flavor, and the sandwich was piled high. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and those sweet potato fries? Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness.

The owner made the experience even better—super friendly and welcoming. He threw in complimentary cornbread (which was amazing) and suggested we try the sandwiches plain so we could sample all the sauces—each one better than the last. You can tell he really cares about the food and the customers. Service was quick, the atmosphere was chill, and honestly, I’m already dreaming about going back.

If you’re even thinking about trying this place—do it. You won’t regret it!!!

I went in with a group of 7 for lunch and we had a great experience! The food was fast and very good, it was just a small seating area so 7 people was a little cramped. I got the pork belly bao bun and it was phenomenal! Great texture and flavor, and the pickles tasted home made.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable BBQ experience, **Porky’s BBQ** is the place to go! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The food? Simply amazing. The **pulled pork** was juicy and smoky, and the **brisket** was tender and flavorful. The **mac and cheese** with the brisket was a perfect 10/10 combination. The **mashed potatoes** were creamy and rich, and the **baked beans** added a flavorful touch to the meal.

The ambiance was cozy, laid-back, and welcoming—just what you want in a BBQ joint. Overall, everything from the service to the food was a 10/10. If you're a BBQ fan, Porky’s is a must-visit!
