Pleasantly surprised have done Grubhub deliver, catering and dine in. All experiences left me wanting to order or visit again. Friendly staff, comfortable setting. Great addition to the neighborhood. And great tasty lemonade

This is literally the coolest and chilliest restaurant. For any musicians out there, I highly recommend this. I love the bar! Try the beef brisket, it's incredible!! They play rock concert videos. The service is amazing and everyone who works there is very nice. It feels like home when I'm there! Thank you Offset for the great food and memories!

Despite the terrible food and service ..................m just kidding the place is better than road house with Patrick Swazey half chicken is the best

Great local barbeque spot. Brisket was awesome, will be trying the ribs next visit. Looked like there was a bar inside, outside seating, plenty of parking. Support your local business and stop in for some great food and ambiance.

Delicious BBQ! Good portion sizes for a good price (we did the Meet our Meats platter). Love the unique sauces- horseradish mustard and huli huli are a nice change of pace from the same few sauces you get everywhere. Also a dog friendly patio near Humboldt Park and the 606- well definitely be back!

I went to Offset BBQ for the first time last night. Food was incredible (order the ribs and the brisket melt) and an ice cream sandwich (made with KEY LIME PIE?!). I chatted briefly with the owner who was both genuinely nice and friendly, and the service was super fast. I'll be back!

Cannot believe this place does not top every BBQ list in Chicago!The food is always consistently delicious. They have seasonal menus on top of the old classics so you can have something new every time.Had only been here for dinner and brunch did not disappoint (brisket, biscuits and gravy...need I sat more...)They have an awesome playlist running, but keep the volume perfect to allow you to hear the folks you're eating with.And if none of that is compelling enough, come for the service. Everyone is kind and greets you with a genuine smile. If you're lucky, Maria will be your server. She remembers everyone who comes in - including what you ordered

Such delicious food and wonderful service! I wandered in with my two kids for an early dinner and couldn't believe the quality of the food. We also ordered dessert, I've never had a better key lime-anything than their ice cream sandwich!

Did not smoke weed at all today and eating here felt like I smoked for the first time. Holy smokes. Incredibly crafted masterpieces. Perfect playlist. Amazing humans. Best kept secret in the city. Make it not one.
