She also recommended the ribs and they were delicious. We came in around 3.30 so it wasn’t too busy and didn’t have to queue, if we ever return to Chicago we will be sure to visit again!“

“Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.“

“I had the Beautiful Disaster for the Sunday Brunch. I also took home a full slab of Ribs and their homemade sauce. All of it was outstanding. The French Toast with Bacon at the bottom of the Disaster was amazing. The Ribs and sauce were out of this world. I will be back!!!“

“It was my first time dining at this restaurant, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their delicious BBQ ribs and mouthwatering cornbread. In fact, I would say that their BBQ ribs are the best I’ve ever had in Chicago. I’m already planning to return to try their other BBQ dishes and side dishes as well!“

“Hands-down worst BBQ place in Chicago if not the nation. Don't look, don't ride pass, & pleeeease don't stop in here and WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! The brisket dry, the ribs uncooked, and the fries was hard asf. You'd be better spending your $50-$100 at the grocery store and make your own bbq. I'LL NEVER BE BACK AND WILL MAKE IT MY MISSION TO TURN ANYONE I KNOW AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. To hell!!!“

“amazing staff and food,good prices and a great atmosphere“

“this place is really good. BBQ with great smokiness and flavor. we come here often and love the brisket Chile, ribs, smoked turkey and of course those amazing burgers. last time I was there it was $5 Burger night and it's amazing that they can serve a great smoky burger on fresh roll with fries for this price. full bar with a good selection of beers“

“We had a good experience while celebrating a friend's birthday. The staff adeptly managed our large group with grace and humor. The courses were well timed, the perfect temperature, aromatic and flavorful. Our only minor complaint was the 1 hour wait to be seated, and they don't take reservations. Perhaps they can offer tea to those who are waiting? As they grow, a separate prayer space would be a welcome addition.“

“amazing staff and food,good prices and a great atmosphere“

“Great food ans service with a freat atmosphere.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Came here for the second time with my friend and she has guided me in the right direction. Food was good, portions are giant, and the atmosphere is very chill. The fries are on point and the ribs and pulled pork sandwich are a MUST! All of their desserts are top notch too. Enjoyed it and will be back for more.“

“Great place for drinks and good music. Friday nights are a blast when line dancing is happening!“

We came here two years ago for the first time, and the place was as good as we remembered. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Chicago. Thanks, Dan?“

“We had an awsome time at the restaurant! Our server Akasha was wonderful! She made sure our order was correct and that it arrives to our table in a timely manner! She also kept on top of our drinks and brought an ice cream Sunday for dessert! Very polite and courteous! One of the best servers you all have!“

“There’s lots of options to choose from (more on the sweeter side). Heads up, this is a grab and go bakery, therefore, there is no indoor seating (only a bar to stand at outside). They will also not heat up the pastries :/

The hot fudge babka $6⭐️4/5
It did not really taste like it had chocolate… it was still delicious, but it tasted more like an apples strudel and banana bread mix—yummy but not chocolate babka lol

The smoked ham brown grainy mustard + Gruyère croissant ($7.50) ⭐️2/5
This didn’t hit it for me :/ If you know you love gruyère cheese, then I say give it a go, if you’re unsure, probably try something else?

Update:
Hot fudge croissant ⭐️3.5/5
A bit on the drier side and I felt that they skimped on the chocolate a bit. But it was a delicious pastry

Blackberry cheesecake danish ⭐️3/5
This was yummy and an easy to-go eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese tho

Banana bread cold brew ⭐️4/5
Idk how they do it, but this legit tastes like banana bread in a drink. Perfect for the fall season.“

“I loved “Perilla” …Please do not think of this as your typical Korean BQ grill/Restaurant. This is the most excellent Korean BQ restaurant I have ever been in and I have been in quite few over the years both in Korea back in the day and in the USA…Tomba⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is hands down the best food I’ve had in years ! The corn bread muffins are served in CORN HUSKS…the pulled chicken sandwich came with an actual chicken leg and wing on the side! Then throw in the free music playing, it is absolutely a favorite for me from now on!“

“we had the best lunch at the Patio, a great burger and my companion tried the italian beef. the best part was the great service, after ordering at the counter, they bring everything to your table. The tables are so clean, and we met Teo who was clearing tables. He does a great job, the atmosphere was comfortable and immaculate. we will return soon!“

“I recently visited the Friday evening of the Labor Day weekend, about 6:30pm. I usually set my expectations lower anytime they’re especially busy/any holiday, Of course there was a significant line, but you could tell they had prepared for the last summer holiday rush. The line moved efficiently and I placed my order for 2 extra large tips. To my pleasant surprise I was in and out in just under 20 minutes. Both orders were tender, plentiful, well seasoned, and that mild sauce was slamming. The quality didn’t suffer one bit, even at the end of a busy Friday evening on a holiday weekend. Kudos on a job well done.“

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?“

“We visited the Novi, MI location and we absolutely loved it! The food was fantastic and our server (shout-out AJ) was so wonderful and helpful. Five stars!“

“Great BBQ, unbeatable price and nice people there.“

“BBQ King House offers affordable prices with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. The menu has a wide variety of dishes to choose from, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Service is friendly, and complimentary tea is a nice bonus that adds to the overall dining experience. A great spot for good food and value!“

“Great vibe really nice atmosphere and the brisket tacos were 🔥. I also liked the brisket salad it was very good.“

“Authentic cuisine from Hawaii. Loved the Pork Katsu with curry. I've looked for these tastes for more than a decade. I've found my new hangout. Musubi was also awesome.“

“The slab of ribs, hot links are my favorite with los is mild sauce and bread.“

“Coming from St. Louis! The BBQ was perfect and the blackened shrimp 😳❤️❤️🙌🏼 Great service, great people, AMAZING food, stay later for the drinks and music. We will be back! It’s a whole vibe!“

“I have used Johnny's Catering & Bar-B-Que on at least three occasions where they proved that their catering and dishes are consistently delicious, their staff courteous and professional and their delivery of the food on time and cordial. Guests at my home events love Johnny's Catering food.“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

“If you are looking for a really special food experience with a cozy casual atmosphere, this is an awesome place to visit. The chef, Ms Dani Kaplan, is the daughter of one of my closest bff. OMG! Each bite is a tastebud delight! And the bar - so special! If you want a true, high-quality, Chicago, eating experience don’t miss this place!!!!“

“Still a solid spot overall (I gave them 4/5 stars). I just wish the hours were updated—totally my mistake for not knowing about the shared location and alternate Christmas Eve hours. I had stopped by hoping to grab some BBQ sauce. Cheers!“
