“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 🤗“

“This is my MOST FAVORITE bbq place in the whole USA. Been to many places but they food is absolutely delicious. Their staff is very very nice too, when I told them I was from Seattle, they treated me even more special. It’s Restaurant is a 10/10 💕🥰“

“Food was delicious & service was great especially the fact that they were really busy.“

“Amazing time! Danny was my server! He is the best very attentive very helpful. the hostess was great also and sweet“

“I’ve been to the Schaumburg location a few times over the years, but never to this one, so when in the area we came in for a large business dinner. Our server, Hector was very attentive and helpful… he did a very nice job keeping an eye on the table and bringing us what we needed!
The menu is loaded with so many delicious-sounding items to choose from! The only issue is execution needs some work. The line-caught halibut they had on special was overcooked when we got it, so it was dry and not as flavorful as it should have been. The jerk chicken thighs (als on special) were dry and overcooked as well, not much flavor from them. Their side salad to start with had warm, partially wilted, definitely not crispy/cool lettuce, which made it not very appealing and their homemade Thousand Island dressing was bland.

Some good things were their mac & cheese and mashed potato sides – they were both excellent! Their street corn appetizer (on special) was fresh and very tasty and their chicken wings were excellent. Banana pudding also came out quite nice.

Overall, for the low prices they charge and the decent service they provided, I’m giving them 4 stars, even though there were issues with the entrées. I’d definitely return, but I would just talk to them about expectations prior to ordering and make sure we don’t have a repeat of over-cooked items. Definitely worth stopping in when in the area.“

“Photos from ~10:30 on a Friday night: perfect late night dinner substitute
Not gonna rob you, huge single slices, open well past when you should think about going home.
**consider the mac’n’cheese pizza, will change your life!“

“I’ve been to Smoke Daddy multiple times now and everything I get is amazing (I’ve had about 6 different food menu items now - each awesome). 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.“

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

“Stopped by Bub’s in Chicago and wow — the food was incredible! The grits and brisket were out of this world — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they put love into their food. Great vibes, friendly service, and a meal that seriously hit the spot. Can’t wait to come back!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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 :) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Rib Tips are 🔥. Owners were pretty cool. I’ll definitely go back. 10/10“

“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.“

“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“

“amazing customer service.... the owner let us sample the food ... delicious is a under statement... will definitely 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 staff and food,good prices and a great atmosphere“

“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.“

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“

“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?“

“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!“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Stopped in to order around 12:30pm on a Sunday, and it was literally empty, but we went in anyways. We ordered an appetizer of loaded fries with a side of spicy corn. We split the appetizer between three people because it was a good serving size and easily finished it in less than fifteen minutes (their loaded fries are so good!)
The employee working was very polite and helpful, and had our orders out within twenty minutes. Would definitely recommend to those visiting Navy Pier!“

“The food was delicious. Interesting experience. Waitress was very personable“

“I visited for the first time because of a recommendation from a friend. I'm very impressed. The rib tips were very tender, the BBQ is the bomb.com. I ordered a large tip and a large combo. I plan to go back to try the jerk rib tips and chicken.“

“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!“
