The service was nice , the food was awful, cold , the bbq tasted old , tastes like it was boil then put on a grill ( I guess a grill) . Thanks but no thanks. I gave it 3 stars because of the service. I was ask to go try this place out , since I love bbq . Try it for yourself and let me know what you think. 🤔

The tips are definitely delicious. I have the pork and the turkey. Their links were delicious as well. The sauce was delicious with a nice flavor and not overly sweet. I think I found a new rib spot

On 4/11/25, wanted some BBQ nearby and was surprised to see this place listed on Google search engine after putting my zip code in. I had just gotten off work and was on the train headed home. This place is also on UberEats so looked on the menu and decided to try their pork rib tips. It's clearly listed that there is a 20-25 minute wait on orders which was perfect for me because by the time I got off the train to this establishment was in that exact time frame.

I had the address but couldn't find them at first. There is a vacant business building in front but their business is tucked directly behind it. I spent a few minutes trying to find them. When I did, I parked in the lot and went in. The guy at the front was friendly and when I told him that I had a UberEats order, I was happy to see that it was ready.

The rib tip order is plentiful - worth the $25 price. They don't skimp on the sauce which I liked. The sauce has a little spicy kick to it just as an fyi. We enjoyed the BBQ and the fries were tasty too. I will say I was shocked when I walked inside the establishment because the menu there has more offerings than what is on their website or on UberEats. If I had known they offer chicken wings and gizzards, they would of definitely gotten more money out of me so my suggestion is that they add that onto the online menus unless there is a specific reason why they don't include it there.

My other suggestion is to please get a sidewalk sign to guide customers as to where exactly their business is because they are a bit hidden. I didn't like having to spend time searching for where this place was.

Other than that, I will be back. I know some customer reviews are complaining about the 20-25 minute wait which is a long time but they definitely have that information posted so you can't say you didn't know. Hopefully they can work on curbing the ready time a bit so it's not so long. I want to definitely try their Sunday soul food menu as the offerings look good.

Thank you Magic City - thumbs up from our family!

In my opinion Food was meh. The bbq sauce wasn’t that good but the hot link was if that makes sense. Fries was kool my issue is they don’t provide bread. I ordered a hot link sandwich but they didn’t have bread or utensils. So that’s why I give three stars. Wasn’t a damn thing magic about it. Do better magic!!Again this is just my opinion

Ribs, sauce and fries all really good. Going back to make sure but I’d say they’re the best I’ve had in Chicago in years.
