Barbeque Restaurants near Blue Island

“excellent food and service“

“I went here as a recommendation and came out a huge fan! The sauce is perfect and everything was cooked to perfection! It was even better seeing some of my former students serving and killing it! I truly recommend Lexington Betty Smokehouse!“

“amazing customer service.... the owner let us sample the food ... delicious is a under statement... will definitely be back ❤️“

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!“

“Hands-down worst BBQ place in Chicago if not the nation. Don't look, don't ride pass, & pleeeease don't stop in here and WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! The brisket dry, the ribs uncooked, and the fries was hard asf. You'd be better spending your $50-$100 at the grocery store and make your own bbq. I'LL NEVER BE BACK AND WILL MAKE IT MY MISSION TO TURN ANYONE I KNOW AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. To hell!!!“

“best ribs tips I ever had. Portions are huge.“

“Picked up a catering order yesterday that was phenomenal.“

“All around great food, great atmosphere..“

“The food was so good but a bit pricey. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the ribs.

It was frustrating that seats are first come first served. I wish they would take reservations ahead of time. We decided to stop before our flight and it took way longer than expected.“

“this stop would be my husband and my family spot every other weekend. we will definitely going back soon. My Favorite BBQ hands down!“

“Rib Tips are 🔥. Owners were pretty cool. I’ll definitely go back. 10/10“

“This place came up on my facebook reels multiple times!! Living in NW IN found that it was an hour and a half to get there. Saturday my brother and I decided to take a road trip!! Well worth the drive. The food was fantastic. The server Anna was great. The manager Ken came by the table often to make sure everything was to our liking. We will definitely make the trip again and bring other family members with us.“

“Excellant tasting food, and I was a Sous Chef at Chez Paul in the early eighties . I totally know my mixtures and taste relation! This establishment has it together. God Bless the retired Fireman and Police officer! There is no better tasting Rib House around the South Side than 911 ! GENTLEMEN the rib tips are heavenly!?“

“we had the best lunch at the Patio, a great burger and my companion tried the italian beef. the best part was the great service, after ordering at the counter, they bring everything to your table. The tables are so clean, and we met Teo who was clearing tables. He does a great job, the atmosphere was comfortable and immaculate. we will return soon!“

“This is one of the best Bar and Grill I've been to in a long time. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fabulous. I would recommend Bernice's to anyone! Thank you for hosting my dad's 80th birthday celebration“

“Hands down the best barbecue around. The staff is fantastic, the prices are more than fair, and most importantly the food has me coming back at least once or twice a week. Joe has always been fantastic, always making sure I get exactly what I’m looking for and even has looked out for me more than once with allergies.“

“Place is 🔥! They have great customer service, and I would highly recommend this place to anybody. Especially if you’re looking for some good BBQ!!!“

“it's all good to me, havnt had anything bad yet“

“The slab of ribs, hot links are my favorite with los is mild sauce and bread.“

“I absolutely enjoy everything they have ever cooked for me. I especially love the Lamb Chops. Umm Umm Good“

“Let me start off by saying, I rock with this place!! I’ve been going for years since the smaller location. The customer service on this experience was HORRIBLE!! I asked for extra sauce on my Jumbo tip and link combo, small turkey tip, and 6 wings ($55). When the cashier relayed the request to the lady who was preparing the food she got a real crappy attitude like I was asking for too much. I guess because they were almost closing. I asked her what she said and she went all off. “I wasn’t talking to you I was talking to her!” I asked what her name was and she refused to give it to me. No name tags present or I wouldn’t have asked. Then she directed me to the manager who was also preparing food for any concerns that I may have. I asked the manager Nivia Battle (I think that’s what she said) was she required to give me her name. She said no. Her attitude was crappy as well. Just negative energy behind the glass. Except for the cashier. I also told the that they need to improve their customer service and that I WILL BE BACK!! I have no complaints about my order at all. Food was great!!! They just need to get someone back there that’s actually going to do their job without being so nasty.“

“Catered Nick's in Tinley Park for a Grad Party. Everything was great! Food was delicious, delivered on time and generous portions for a great price! Highly recommend!!“

“THE CATFISH WAS THE BEST EVER!!“

“CASH ONLY

Drove past this place around 9AM and saw and smelled all the smoke coming from this place.

Came back later after they opened and was glad we did. Ordered 2 medium tips and 2 medium combo tips and links.

All 4 orders were loaded up. Great value for the price.

The sauce was mild and not sure if there were more sauce options. Next time gonna tell them to put sauce on the fries too.“

“I reakky love getting my chicken and fish from here!“

“Food and drink- awesome - awesome!“

“We have been going here since it opened and it never disappoints. We love the wide variety of meat and the fact that you can do kbbq and hotpot at the same time. Truly a place to enjoy food. 😁“

“Forget the girl at Burger King...Noriah ( I hope I am saying her name correctly) at Lawrence's in CC Hills, Illinois should get the soul food employee of the year! She handled about 8-10 customers taking orders, cooking food, chopping up rib tips, slicing cake, grilling fish, boxing food...plus more! I was so impressed! She was AMAZING! I will be back for those rib tips soon! Thank you so much for your wonderful service! 😀“

“The food was excellent. The beef brisket sandwich was very good. Service was fantastic. Would come back here again.“

“Hands down the best, excellent proportions, and the sauce is to die for, also price is reasonable.“

“🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽, Yes the food is on point as well as very friendly staff an phenomenal experience!“

“I ordered a Half Slab of Baby Back Ribs, 1/2 lb of Beef Brisket (burnt ends), and a small side of Mac and Cheese. The portions of meat were generous and well-seasoned, generously coated in BBQ sauce, making them quite delicious. However, the Mac and Cheese did not meet expectations and needs improvement. I was taken aback by the restaurant's size; it was quite small. As someone in a wheelchair, I had difficulty making a 360-degree turn due to the narrow waiting area. Despite this, the atmosphere was pleasant, filled with the enticing aroma of BBQ, and the chef was friendly and laid-back. Overall, I recommend Medley's BBQ and plan to return to try their Turkey Tips and Fried Chicken Skins.“

“Lunch Special Rib Tips 10/10 Recommend“

“Quick and easy service! Delicious food!“

“Best food and very clean! I highly recommend 👍👍👍“

“Great food and great customer service“

“I really like the rice bowl with the chicken 🐔 skewers!!“

“The first time I went in I ordered the three piece catfish dinner. It came with fries, coleslaw and corn on the cob. What I was surprised with was the packaging. It was placed in an aluminum tray and packaged so well that I was highly impressed. My food was prepared by the male chef. It was delicious. I was so impressed that I told my neighbors. The next time I ordered a lady answered the phone and took my order of the same first order. Her customer service skills were poor and the same order that I ordered before was a disappointment. The fish was not crisp and packaging was a plastic bag. The real cook who was chef that cooked my order should train the staff in their cooking skills. I haven’t been back. If a standard is set customers will be faithful and tell others about the food served and the quality of customer service.“

“I was visiting from Canada and we stopped here to grab a quick bite for lunch! The food was incredible, I had the rib tips and they did not disappoint! Thank you 🙏“

“Ate here tonight and the food was wonderful. We had jerk turkey tips, jerk salmon and shrimp, yam, greens, cabbage, Mac and cheese and fried rice. Everything was tasty, hot, freshly made and spicy. The ladies were super friendly, helpful and provided great service. We will definitely be back to try other items. Ask about the specials that aren’t in the regular menu. Yum!“

“We hired Big Joe's for our farm wedding and the food and professionalism was incredible! Joe was easy to work with and provided great service before, during, and after the event. Our guests have been raving about the food and we can't wait to host another large event so that we can work with Big Joe's again!“
