Well, that didn't age well. Prices are sky high, food quality is sub par, and what used to be a meal and enough for leftovers is now half sized.Lettuce fleece you.---When you're on the hunt for the best BBQ in every city you visit you've got to try them all. Bub delivers the goods, really good ribs, tasty chicken, and BBQ beans are my goto favourites here.

Bub city is your friendly neighborhood sports bar. They have tons of seating so you always end up finding a table. The service is great! Servers are nice and friendly, always mention the specials to you and take your feedback into consideration. They also have live performances. One time we had a band that covered Def Leppard and we had a great time ! Loved hearing by then play my favorite Def Leppard song 'pour some sugar on me'. One time they also had a limited edition pistachio beer which I really loved. Such a chill fun bar to go to when you don't want to dress up too much and have a good time.

Great place to watch sporting events and to catch some live music. Bourbon collection is off the chains, if you want to try some things that fall into the hard to find or unicorn categories.

The ambiance is great. Good place for some drinks and catching some live music. Ditch the food. It's mediocre at best.

If you want great atmosphere, great service, and rockin good music with just ok food to come with your buddies this is definitely your place. If you're looking for good BBQ then go to Carson's instead. This place hits it out of the park on everything but the food. The price for what you get, flavor etc are all off. We got the brisket patty melt, pro tip get it with bacon and grilled peppers. It was a good dish, nothing memorable but it was good. We also got the brisket plate, which comes with no sides. The brisket wasn't great and for the price this is disappointing. Especially when at Carolina I can get a half chicken, half rack of ribs and 2 sides for $12 more. All in all it's a fun time here. It just really depends on what you're looking for.

I was happy to find the location in the loop. My go to had been the Rosemont location due to business travel. The Brisket did not disappoint at this location!

Amazing bbq, one of the best in Chicago. I had the brisket & the Mac & cheese was really really good.
Has an authentic Nashville look, with the stage and BBQ. I'm sure when there's a band, it's cool. But that's it.The ribs were good, but not $50 good. You get nothing with it. No fries. Just a shot of relish (they call slaw), a shot of BBQ sauce, and a sad price of the cheapwhite bread. Theyre much better than, say, TGI-Applebees. Just not on par with a real BBQ joint.Would def go again if someone else is paying.PS: the relish slaw is surprisingly enjoyable

Trustgod He always right
My husband and I came last night we are from Michigan so we ordered the Chicago baby back ribs and we both agreed they were the best we’ve ever had and as two African American’s trust me we had our share of Bbq the meat was falling off the bone with a good crisp on them plus the sauce man taste like it drop right from heaven. I brought the Mac and cheese as well man that was amazing too. Plus Mila was very friendly and welcoming this made my birthday weekend so thanks Bub City we will be back

To start off, I am never one to leave reviews unless it's a good one. However, my experience here was absolutely horrible. The table I sat at was sticky and so was my seat. I was wear white and you can see a stain once I sat up from how dirty the place was. The staff seated me and did not ask for my order until around 20 minutes later? Not acceptable. Then, the drinks I ordered were straight water and very uncharged. Finally, the food was mediocre with not only them wanting to charge us for the more expensive option that we didn't get but they didn't give us the right side either and the food was not good. The one thing that is nice is the light hanging on the wall. Besides this, I'd say stick to Arby's or White Castle even for a better experience if you're actually hungry. Tony Lopez does not approve.
