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

“My friend and I stopped in at Firewater BBQ in Elmhurst on Thursday Dec. 1st for the "Granny's Lunch Box Special" which is available daily from 11AM-2PM. This was my second visit and my friend's first at Firewater. We both ordered the Angus beef brisket sandwich with a side of 3 cheese Mac & Cheese and a soda. The brisket (smoked for 22 hrs) is amazingly tender and flavorful. It was piled high on a toasted brioche bun and is served with your choice of sweet or spicy BBQ sauce or both if you like. The Mac & Cheese is sooo silky-smooth and creamy and compliments the brisket quite well. There are complimentary pickled jalapeños and sweet & spicy pickles available as well. My friend was so impressed by this amazing brisket that he placed another exact order to go to bring home. The cashier who also took our order was very friendly and polite. We told one of the chefs, Shawn, (pictured) that we really enjoyed the brisket and complimented his skills. My friend and I will both be returning to Firewater BBQ and we'll definitely be letting our family and friends know about this wonderful BBQ spot.“

“Food was over all nice tasting, service was good too. Bread could have been warmer,. Baklava, fillet mignon kabab entrée and hummus were fresh and delicious. Entrées need homemade sauces and not commercial hot sauce or Sriracha sauce. My tabbouleh had gravels in it, could not eat it.“

Each bite is a tastebud delight! And the bar - so special! If you want a true, high-quality, Chicago, eating experience don’t miss this place!!!!“

“this place is really good. BBQ with great smokiness and flavor. we come here often and love the brisket Chile, ribs, smoked turkey and of course those amazing burgers. last time I was there it was $5 Burger night and it's amazing that they can serve a great smoky burger on fresh roll with fries for this price. full bar with a good selection of beers“

“I had the pleasure of trying the burger, sausage, broccoli salad, fries, banana pudding, Mac and queso, and sticky pork belly—and let me tell you, every single bite was an absolute delight.

The sticky pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sausage link was perfectly juicy and bursting with flavor. The fries were golden, crispy, and even better when paired with the tangy Texas Red and Carolina Gold sauces.

The burger and the sausage link, though, were the (tied) stars of the show. Both choices are simple and very reasonably priced. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. Each bite was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and incredibly satisfying. The sausage link was made with a perfectly balanced blend of ingredients that made it impossible to put down.

The Mac and queso was a standout as well—completely unique and absolutely next-level. It’s not your traditional mac n’ cheese; it’s a bold, creamy creation that left me wanting more. The broccoli salad was a refreshing surprise, with a perfectly balanced tanginess and flavor that was, quite literally, DILL-icious!

I finished off the meal with their banana pudding, which was the perfect way to end such a feast. Light, airy, and just sweet enough, it was like a cloud of dessert heaven.

On top of all the incredible food, the service was quick, warm, and friendly. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu—this place is a total gem!“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

“Tasty barbecue chicken. Came with baked potato and coleslaw .“

“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!“

“Bbq + tacos, yes please. BBQ Chicken Taco with pico de gallo, cilantro, Pulled Pork Taco caribbean salsa, pico de gallo & spicy lime aioli and Brisket Burnt Ends Taco with chimichurri, slaw and cilantro. At $3.50 to $4.00 a taco, they were small. But they were tasty. #spicemeister approved.“

“Service polite and quick. Space clean and well organized. Ordered the Papa Q platter, everything was good, especially the pork belly and sausage. Sides were cornbread, sweeter than traditional, mac q roni- tasty, coleslaw- creamy and traditional, and mashed potatoes with gravy-really good. Hush puppies were yummy too. Three sauces on table are all good individually but I mixed them all together, delish!“

“I need to know where you get your chicken fingers from lol“

“Great food and service from server Francisco at riverside location“

“Great food. Everything on the menu is amazing. You need to try the South Sider, perfect combination of pulled pork and angus brisket. RD3 is just impossible to finish so tasty!! BBQ sauces are amazing. If you have any questions Venessa at the register counter will guide your tastebuds to enjoy great combination. Of their meets and sides. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.“

“We visited Blackwood BBQ at the Mart yesterday and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the staff were incredible. My brother is deaf, and Darnell and Demetrius were patient and helpful, communicating with him directly rather than looking to me for help communicating with him. This seems like a small gesture, but it's a really big deal for us and we appreciated their kindness.“

“The guy that assisted didn't listen was not the normal assistance that I typically received from the cashier. I've always liked the interactions from this restaurant. I was on my way to church and the Devil really used this guy to try disturbing my spirit. He was being very condescending. I almost canceled my order and wanted to not get the food. I asked was it enough sauce on my food the cashier became ornery. It was definitely a challenge that wasn't necessary. If the food wasn't normally good I wouldn't have moved forward with the transaction.“

“Great service, delicious food“

“Rib tips were awesome and so was the catfish steak. I'm glad I found a real bbq joint with good food and not all the frills. I've been missing this since living in Atlanta. They only have sides (vegetables) on Friday and Saturday but they still get a five star from me!“

“I got an order of tips and links separately since it was my first time there. Links had great flavor and just the right amount of heat. Tips where good but a little overcooked (kinda tough) but the excellent BBQ sauce saved them. Owner was super friendly though and the service was quick considering it's a one man operation. I'll definitely be coming back here to try out a slab of ribs since he was out of em today.“

“Had nicks BBQ on Sunday haven't ate there in awhile but just wanted to say they are what a restaurant does taking care of the customer with great food .... It was like last time I had it. The only different was they fancy container for the food .. but other than that delicious.... But I had a lot of things in the past off there menu and never unsatisfied... Keep up the great taste and the great service😀“

“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“

“Quick and easy service! Delicious food!“

“customer service was excellent and precise pretty Black Woman Sandra and Handsome cook Tony Best Hotdog I have ever had better than Portillo’s Clean establishment and had to give an compliment when due to staff“

“My fiancé and I have been a gyro war. I’m a Skokie Dengeos girl and he’s a diehard Squabs fan. While it’s hard to compete with childhood memories after trying Squabs I totally get it. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was beautiful, the fries were delicious. The absolute standout was the customer service. I was having such a bad day. I confused the gyro plate with the gyro dinner and they took such good care of me. I had cried the whole ride over and left with the biggest smile and a plate of leftovers. 10/10 I will be coming back every chance I get.“

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

“Es nuevo el lugar pero la comida muy buena buenos precios no puedo decir de alguna comida porque desde la pizza las ribs en bbq el pollo lo sandwiches todo delicioso recomiendo al 💯 %“

“This was my first time at Texas Roadhouse. I've heard about it but never went. I tried it last night. The service was the best. Our server Tiffani was nice, attentive, and kept a friendly smile on her face. I was disappointed we didn't see her anymore after our meal. I understand using the table kiosk for our bill, but we needed assistance with something else. No worries. Originally, I stated with the fried fish, and it was not good. It was soft and mushy. I sent it back and settled on the salmon dinner, and it was a better choice. Everything was good. Salads, sides of mashed and baked potatoes, and my daughter loved the fried pickles but a little heavy on the salt. Of course, the famous rolls were the best and did not disappoint. I would go back“

“Bro N Laws is the #1 BBQ place hands down on the Westside🥰 I just hand them Tender,Moist & Good Flavored Rib tips. Good food and Great customer service👌🔥“

“we were at a wedding that had an after party that was changed at the last minute to this bar. Our bar tender Odette, was amazing. She handeled the whole party of 50+ with such grace and ease. The service at this bar is exceptional. Thank you for making the night fantastic for our group!“
