8 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Batavia

“Great food, friendly owners!“

“The food always hits the mark here. I know it’s a chain, but it’s the best barbecue we’ve found in the area. All aspects are what you’d expect from American barbecue from the brisket, the sweet tea, the rotating black plate special, and desserts. When they have cobblers, we’d go just to get cobblers. At some Mission BBQs, the cornbread tastes like how Payless used to smell, but this place does not. The atmosphere can be intimidating for someone that associates patriotism with partisanship, but they are purely service themed and non-partisan, just steer clear around noon if you have scar tissue from being caught outside on base at 0800.“

“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.“

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!“

“Natalie (waitress) rocked. Very good at her job. She is definitely an asset to Duke's. Great job Natalie.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Great BBQ the sauce, the tender juicy meat, and they had strawberry soda. They killed it today. I even bought another half rack to take home for later….. sooooooo goooooood“

“Ordered for the first time tonight. Great tasting pizza! 😎“
