wow this taco changed my life
I went here almost every day for lunch during NeoCon. I had the brisket salad multiple times, but the sausage platter is amazing, as well as the fried chicken sandwich. I didn’t have everything on the menu over my visits, but my colleagues did and everything looked great, the sauces are exactly as described. Waffle fries are crispy and delicious, as well as the Mac and Cheese.
The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was delicious The waffle fries were very good as well. Service was good.
Blackwood BBQ - Merchandise Mart offers fantastic service and barbecue, with top-quality brisket that's juicy, moist, and full of flavor. Their brisket sandwich with Memphis sauce, pickles, and Cole slaw is a standout. Pulled pork is also consistently good, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Sides can be hit or miss, with some finding them small for the price. Favorites include brisket with burnt ends, mac 'n cheese, and cornbread. While some dishes may not meet expectations, Blackwood BBQ remains a solid choice for barbecue in Chicago, with prices comparable to other good BBQ spots.
