Food was absolutely delicious, some of the best BBQ in the city. Server was attentive. Very easy to split a bill between our large party. Welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Just went last night for music and drinks. Music was great (Luke Repass Band). We only had their fries but they were great. Glad to have them in the neighborhood! Will be back.

This is THE place for barbecue in Chicago. Everything is cooked to perfection. The brisket is the best I’ve ever had — which says a lot! Must try spot!!!

Amazing service, the freshest oysters, best southern food in the city. Special thanks to Lee, he gave nothing but outstanding service, personality and hospitality during my visit! Such a special hidden gem in the city, can’t wait to come back and show all my friends this spot :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great place to be. My girlfriend and I were looking for a place we haven’t been to catch up on some well deserved quality time, and Briny Swine delivered. Best seafood in the city in quality and dollar value, our bartender, Dylan (Dillon?), was attentive, helpful and generally just a really cool dude to chat with. We could not have been more pleased with the specials, staples, cocktails and drafts. Thank you for a wonderful time, 5 stars across the board!

Owners are crooks and cheats, while opening this location they abandoned employees and other restaurants in a small South Carolina community primarily supported by tourism known as Edisto Island.
Employees have still not been paid, they are owed thousands, owners did not pay rent on their buildings nor bills.
Employees beware and landowner beware, it is only a matter of time before it happens here too.
Delicious food and great atmosphere.

5 ⭐️ for Briny Swine!!
It all started on a fall Sunday evening, my dad, a country southern man, needed some food that reminded him of home. We decided to give Bring Swine a shot for the hell of it. As two Georgians who have had some of the best barbecue in the world, we had low confidence that this place would be anything other than just OK.
Nay, our expectations were exceeded! Upon walking in, big windows were open letting in the cool breeze, and a huge square bar with some of the most comfortable bar seats had open spots. Before sitting down, my dad noted they they had buffalo trace and weller behind the bar so it was “legit” in his book. The hospitality we experienced from the staff was like no other, and we felt like we had found new friends. We both got an old style on tab which was great, and got Brunswick stew, cold slaw, brisket, and pulled pork. We both agreed it was some of the BEST we’ve ever had!! We even got a Coca Cola chocolate cake with a candle for my dad. I’ll also note that the music wasn’t too loud and it was a nice relaxing environment to hang out in.
We loved this place so much we were reading about the owners online, who are from Charleston S.C. The Chef had a bunch of awards in the oyster, BBQ, and seafood space, and the wife is all about home and hospitality.
It was so refreshing to be in a joint like this as an escape from the city!
