“If you are in Chicago and want to eat Wagyu Steak: This is definitely the correct place!
We enjoyed our visit in this restaurant our waitress supported us by grilling the food and we enjoyed the dinner. Unfortunately I forgot here name, but I will update the comment when I remember her name. She was really very helpful and with great patience as we not understood in the beginning the system.
So for my followers I will explain the process:
Basicly you have two tiers to select: Silver and Gold. The details of the tiers can give your waitress.
You order through a iPad and each person can order 6 different dishes. Be careful the time is limited on 2 hours.
I would suggest to go early to avoid any waiting times.
Enjoy your Wagyu 🤗“

“*Hidden Gem* As someone who owns and operates a BBQ business, this was pure bliss. We ordered the Sticky Ribs as an appetizer and I could have eaten 2 plates worth!!! Smokey and slightly sweet. Perfect tenderness. I had the smoked Duroc Chops with a mustard glaze and spinach. The pork chops are super thick. Probably enough for 2 people. 🔥🔥🔥 You can never go wrong with Duroc. My wife had the Salmon. Wonder piece of fish.🔥🔥🔥. My son had the 8oz steak and fries. I had a piece and it was delicious. 🔥🔥🔥 We decided to also try dessert and that was even 🔥🔥🔥 Chocolate cake with chocolate chip ice cream!!! Could have used another scoop🔥🔥🔥 Next time level delicious. We each a a drink (house marg and a Paloma). Some of the best drinks we have ever had had anywhere. We could have eaten at this place many times. Service was outstanding and the young lady provided great recommendations. Food was more than reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back here again!!!!!“

I’m particularly writing this review because they saved our 4th of July friend get together. The service, food and atmosphere make this one of our favorite places in the city.“

“Dino’s Pizzeria is a standout spot for delicious, authentic pizza that never disappoints. The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and the menu offers a great variety for every pizza lover. Beyond the food, their service is top-notch—friendly, efficient, and always welcoming. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Dino’s makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend for a great pizza experience!“

“Just come back from Twin Anchors and loved our experience! We are from the UK and our waitress was so hospitable, asking what we were up to and making sure we had a great experience. 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!“

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

“First time here, definitely will be back to to try the food“

“I ordered delivery, so I can’t vote on service or atmosphere. I’m not even done eating yet, but had to stop and leave five stars before I forgot. I got the rib tips, collared greens, and chicken gumbo. the rib tips came with coleslaw. every single one of these items are a repeat order. the flavors involved...man oh man.“

“Picked up a catering order yesterday that was phenomenal.“

“Great food and interesting menu to say the least. 10/10 would eat and drink again!“

“Came here with 7 people and they seated us immediately. The waitress was very nice! We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a round of shots on the house. I had the margarita and it was tasty, but a few others did not like their drinks. I believe it was the wine. We ordered a lot of different food and overall it was okay. The loaded fries were very good, it had tons of brisket. Someone ordered the macaroni and cheese brisket and there were literally like 3 pieces of brisket on it which clearly wasn’t proportioned right. I ordered a burger and it was a double patty. One of the patties was very very red. I don’t know if it was the lighting but compared to the other patty which looked about medium well, the other one was bloody red. I did not eat it. I know people come for bbq not burgers so if I came back I definitely would not get that again. We did split the check per person on their new online payment system which had issues. The total shown plus tip was not adding up right so you had to do the math in your head and trust it was gonna be what’s charged. Overall it was a good experience.“

“The food was delicious. We had a beyond burger and Mac n cheese burger. The drinks were good but pricey. We're from out of town so we're surprised by the price of 4 Whiskey Sours with Jack when saw the bill. They were good and enjoyed the meal very much. Part of the experience and atmosphere. Food was delicious.“

“Great food ans service with a freat atmosphere.“

“Me, my sister and my fav cousin seen this place on tiktok and decided to check them out. The drive from outwest Illinois to outsouth was worth it and will come back again. My ONLY ick is the cut of the ribtip they gave me. I like fat more than lean and my order had mostly end lean pieces.... The prices are decent and they are NOT stingy with the food. One more ICK only can pops that are over priced.“

“It’s hidden in a corner of the food court, and I’m thankful I did a lap of the court before I picked a spot to eat. It’s the best brisket sandwich I’ve ever had and the best BBQ I’ve had in Illinois. Recommend the greens, beans and rice, and cornbread.“

“Yoooooo they soul food🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 5 star Food taste sooo homemade like yo granny or momma back there….😂😂“

“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!!!“

“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 :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Stopped in yesterday for a late lunch. Small, charming, everything you want a little local spot to be. Welcoming, very nice. Sadly out of brisket at the time (honestly a good sign of really good brisket if they were sold out by 2pm) but he recommended the turkey sandwich.

I've had good smoked turkey before. But I have never had a smoked turkey sandwich this good. Flavor was absolutely on point, texture was tender and juicy. Best turkey I've had in my entire life and I've had some pretty good turkey. Fries were seasoned and fried to perfection. The white sauce was a great complement to the fries and worked well with the sandwich - didn't overpower the turkey flavor but honestly I ate most of the sandwich without sauce, it was that good.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates smoked meat.“

“I’ve been here quite a few times, and I’ve been meaning to write a review. The turkey tips are ALWAYS amazing—the sauce, the texture, everything is exactly what you want when you’re craving tips. This has officially become my new go-to spot for tips and wings!“

“top notch service and extremely high quality meat“

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

“Great great food!
And one of the best BBQ sauces I love.
The rip tips are great.
The ribs are great.
The pulled pork is great.
I love the garlic bread wiith there home BBQ sauce on it.
They use teal.oak wood for the pit to smoke the meat.
I have been going there for 15 years or 16 yesrs, always happy there.
Looks great on the outside and lots of kool antiques decorating the inside.
Go try it, you will love it.

Kid-friendliness: Yes kid friendly“

“Food was over all nice tasting, service was good too. Bread could have been warmer,. Baklava, fillet mignon kabab entrée and hummus were fresh and delicious. Entrées need homemade sauces and not commercial hot sauce or Sriracha sauce. My tabbouleh had gravels in it, could not eat it.“

“Buona qualità del cibo, ambiente accogliente e familiare, manca a mio parere una buona apparecchiatura.“

“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!!!“

“Be quick at ordering because there’s going to be a line! Good news is that I have the sense nothing is bad here. I got a ham and cheese and mustard croissant which was perfect, and the banana coffee cake which was DIVINE. Just wish they could do a toasted and creamed bagel, so 4 stars for customer service.“

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

“it's all good to me, havnt had anything bad yet“

“Dan was an awesome waiter. His spontaneity and attentiveness made us feel very welcome. The vibe on Monday night was nice and quiet for us. 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?“

“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 fabulous dinner last night at Chicago Kalbi with Cummins Peru, Komat'su, and the VPs from Antimina copper mine.

Such a great place, where you cook the wagyu & kobe beef at your table. The food was delicious ?

Isao Tozuka, the chef and his wife Chiyo-san, are fabulous hosts, very friendly, and really happy to help and show you how things are do e.

I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a unique place. Make sure you book though ad it can be busy.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

“It was my 1st time eating Korean BBQ. The food was delicious and it's fun to have the BBQ cooked at your table. I loved all the side dishes and all 3 types of meat we had were very tasty and tender. I didn't find the staff to be very friendly, that would have made the atmosphere so much better. I felt the price was unexpectedly high but it was definitely something I would do again.“

“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 had a brisket burrito and Mac & cheese . Very Delicious ! I will be back.“

“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!“

“Bbq + tacos, yes please. BBQ Chicken Taco with pico de gallo, cilantro, Pulled Pork Taco caribbean salsa, pico de gallo & spicy lime aioli and Brisket Burnt Ends Taco with chimichurri, slaw and cilantro. At $3.50 to $4.00 a taco, they were small. But they were tasty. #spicemeister approved.“

“Service polite and quick. Space clean and well organized. Ordered the Papa Q platter, everything was good, especially the pork belly and sausage. Sides were cornbread, sweeter than traditional, mac q roni- tasty, coleslaw- creamy and traditional, and mashed potatoes with gravy-really good. Hush puppies were yummy too. Three sauces on table are all good individually but I mixed them all together, delish!“
