37 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Bolingbrook

“had 1/2 bar b qued chicken. EXCELLENT!!! FLAVORFUL, JUICY, SMOKY, PERFECTION“

“You gotta try the loaded fries! I’m over here licking my plate😭😭“

“I really enjoyed my first visit to LongHorn Steakhouse. I’ve heard about it for a while but never had the chance to try it until now.

The highlight of the meal was the Outlaw Ribeye, which was easily one of the best steaks I’ve had. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The loaded potato and fries were both solid, but the real surprise was the mac and cheese, it’ll definitely be my go-to side from now on.

As for the service, it was a bit inconsistent. The restaurant wasn’t full, as we were seated right away without a reservation, which made the slower, somewhat disorganized service a bit surprising. One of our sides was served cold, which was disappointing.

That said, I wouldn’t hold it against them since the overall food quality was excellent. I still had a great experience overall and would definitely come back. Hopefully, the service will be smoother on our next visit.“

“I really enjoyed the salads, I have noticed that the prices are going up and they put less meat in the salads, and they charge an unchanged for extra. Which it seems the amount they used to use prior to the increase of cost. I get it. But they make up with the service. Always professional and friendly.“

“I was impressed with the whole experience“

“Excellent food!! Great really clean for as busy as they are.. I will definitely be coming back frequently 🫡“

“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.“

“Amazing food! We wanted food that our guests would continue to talk about after the wedding and that is exactly what we got! Cinnamon and Briana were amazing to work with as well!“

“This place is amazing. The food ,the people the vibe and the service were exceptional. The fact that they held a prayer vigil for 9/11 the 3 students, and Charles Kirk was so thoughtful and beautiful. They were donating some of the proceeds to TPUSA. Love this place and the values/morals they believe in. Family first.“

“We went to the Plainfield location today and it was so good! Friendly atmosphere, good prices and super kind staff. The frito pie was awesome. And great place to watch football. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.“

“We have catered holiday meals from various different restaurants and they all have been good- but yesterday’s Thanksgiving turkey was the best we have ever had. Everyone agreed - everything was great, but typically a few of us don’t care much for actual turkey but yesterday was an exception. Thank you!“

“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.“

“We used Sharko’s for our community wide BBQ and not only was the food terrific, Ron and his crew did a great job and helped make our event memorable. They served almost 400 people and everyone loved the food and the event. Thank you for a great evening!“

“Stopped by the restaurant after work and what a great decision! Got the rib tips and fries but can't wait to try more! I've met John Jr. in the past but had the pleasure of being served by Sr. today. Such an amazing family very warm and inviting would definitely recommend for your next event or just an evening meal for the family. Thanks guys👌🏾❤“

“Better than Raising Canes!“

“We ordered pulled pork and Mac and cheese for our daughter’s open house. Everyone RAVED about the food! We are almost 40 minutes away from the location and they will have new customers from the Marseilles area. Great staff, absolutely delicious food! 10 out of 10 !“

“We couldn’t finish the sampler plate it all was outstanding I totally recommend this place!!!“

“Great food. Good service. What more could you ask for?“

“Thank you for nice lunch!“

“Their Santa Fe salad is something I crave almost every day! Please open a location near Bartlett!!! I think I’d be there every day“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! Very good food“

“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“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“I have visited the restaurant in person and have always been pleased. But I wanted to give a shoutout for the catering order I placed for a holiday party for the apartment community I manage. The food was delivered on time, hot, packaged extremely well, nothing was missed. The girl who delivered it was so helpful she was even helped set up some trays as we were figuring out placement. The food was also delicious, we ordered ribs, chicken, pasta, and Greek potatoes. We will definitely order again! Thank you!“

“The catering staff and pit crew helped to create an absolutely delicious and fun experience for our wedding reception.
The food was perfect and received so many compliments from our guests. We are so happy and grateful that we chose this restaurant to cater our special day.“

“This was a welcome surprise. My family and I would frequent the location in Bolingbrook when it was around. After they closed we figured no other locations would be near us. We happened to be in the area yesterday and saw this location pop up in maps while searching for someplace to eat. As indicated this location is carry out only. We placed the order online and it was actually ready a few minutes before the time given. The staff that we interacted with were friendly. I gave the atmosphere a 5 even though it was carry out only but the restaurant it was in looked 5 star. I was going to complain about the pricing but we were actually pleased with the amount of food we got for the price point. I gave a 4 for the food because while the ribs were excellent the chicken was mushy and sides were fair but not great and I remember the mac n cheese being more palatable than what we got. I would definitely order from here again but not include the chicken in that order.“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Joliet location. We stopped there after taking my grandmother to the casino and she didn’t have her wheelchair. She walks but very slowly. The staff was super kind and made sure she had a walkway and opened all the doors for her. They didn’t rush her or make her feel bad for taking a while! They cared and were so helpful! Great food and great staff! Thank you!“

“This is lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal. Our waiter, Paul, was so kind! His service was impressive. This was our first experience with Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. The food was amazing. When we return, we will ask for Paul!“

“The staff was awesome and helpful! It was one of the most fun Birthdays I have had in years!“

“chili is great sandwiches are great“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“This place is an absolute Hit! If you love Chicken and traditional Eastern European/Balkan food this place is the place to be!“

“Great service and food is delicious“

“Friendly service! Food was DELICIOUS! Ordered a Gyro, Breaded Chicken Sandwich, & Zucchini appetizer. Everything was made fresh and hot! They make an in-house garlic cream/sauce that paired very nicely with the sandwich and fried zucchini.
Chill vibe and clean! 😊“
