“Great brisket nachos and at a good price. friendly people as well!“

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

“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.“

“day mfing chicken sandwich“

“My review is based solely off of their chicken!!!!!!! They have some really good,well seasoned chicken! Their fries are really good too! I order the wings (also 1/4 white) with and without sauce,but when I do get sauce it’s definitely their mild because it’s very tasty! Their food is cooked to order and it’s always fresh! Depending on when you go the line (drive thru) can be very long!! Always worth the wait for me,but some people will stay in their cars on the main street (Sibley) waiting for a spot in the parking lot. It’s a pretty small space on the inside. Their flavored iced type drinks are good too. They accept cash,debit/cc/AP! The staff I’ve dealt with over the years have always been friendly! I’ve had other meals overtime too,but I really enjoy the chicken the most. Almost forgot,burritos are good too!! They also follow instruction regarding how you want your food prepared. Always a win for me! Last but not least,I now travel about 25 minutes to get there because I don’t live as close as I initially did years ago!“

“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!“

“Great food, excellent service. Best BBQ in the area!“

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be coming back! Their ribs are the best! Between the rest of my family I also sampled their pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. It was all great. Can’t wait to try everything else on their menu.“

“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!!!“

“Had such an amazing time with my mother to celebrate her birthday!! Will come again!! <3“

“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.“

“I have tried many items from Vallee BBQ and the food keeps me coming back for more every time!

Pulled lamb sandwich
Fire roasted corn ??
Lemon pepper fries
BBQ SAUCE!!!
Fudge stripe banana pudding

Mouthwatering ? I will be ordering again“

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

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

“We were hesitant about trying this restaurant after moving into the neighborhood. Reading the reviews helped. 😲 when I say this food was 🔥, we devoured the large turkey tips w/hot links. Everything was hot and fresh! Fries were still crispy with the sauce on them! Turkey was melt in ur mouth delicious 😋. No leftovers, we ate it all in one sitting. Woo woods is our new bbq joint! Will definitely be back. Today. Hopefully.“

“Awesome service great food and I will travel back from Indiana to Chicago to eat at medley restaurant ANYTIME!“

“We typically love it here. However, we had an easily avoidable issue yesterday. The app only allows the "call ahead" for up to 6. We had a party of 12. So, we called the location to ask if they could accommodate a party of 12. We kept getting placed on hold by 3 different employees only to be told they can't give a time estimate until we are physically there (15+minutes btw of employee after employee). Okay, we pack up and head there. After arriving we are told they can't even sit the 12 of us together and it's a 1.5 hour wait. What a WASTE of OUR time. I understand the wait is based on the customer traffic. But if you guys know you can't sit 12 together, TELL US OVER THE DAM PHONE!!!!!!“

“We dined here today mainly due to having a gift card. My husband opted for the 9oz filet with mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese, accompanied by Sprite. I chose a peach sangria and the 7 pepper sirloin salad and loaded baked potato soup combo. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere was a welcome respite during our Christmas shopping in the snow. We appreciated our friendly server, quick service, and the good food, which exceeded our expectations and made us want to come back. See you next time Longhorns!“

“What a great place to buy exceptional BBQ South Chicago taste !! So friendly staff and customer service oriented. We ordered couple large BBQ Ribs Tips plate, large chicken tips, mini ribs, spicy links so delicious. It is really worth it make an obligated stop in Dolton, IL. Family happy ? Everybody happy. !!“

“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!“

“She has the best soul-food that I have ever tasted in my entire life. Everything was cooked to perfection. Every bite was so savory, satisfying, appetizing, delectable, scrumptious, mouth-watering & internally fulfilling. I couldn't even share my food with anyone else. #WrightwoodElementary is the school that she catered food for.? ?❤️???? “

“The. Food especially the children is delicious..not to hot or spicy that you are unable to eat it...the sides...are delicious.. I highly recommend....thank you sooo much for serving great food“

“Was scrolling on TikTok, ran across this beautifully presented meals. I got out my bed and immediately came here. If you are looking for a taste that gives you a nostalgic feeling like you’re sitting in your grandmas kitchen on a Sunday, THIS IS IT! I think this is a hidden gem. This place deserves more attention. Food was so good, I tried to sample it in store and ended up sitting down and eating the entire meal and ordered more food to take home. The buffalo sauce had an amazing homemade taste. Again everything was so good I’m excited for my next visit. I plan on ordering the rib tips. I also Had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Sharon she was sweet and hospitable.“

“The food was amazing. I really enjoyed every bite. Love the service and the concept. Their whole family is in there getting it. I love it.“
