Food is always excellent, rotating sides always keeps it different and interesting even when ordering the same dish everytime, and the staff is always very welcoming and kind.“

“I was the lucky one to win a red envelope from BBQ Productions & Station 51 Truck Co Bar & Grill. Jeff was amazing & extremely helpful! I freakin love my Louisana Founder Series Smoker! Thank you!!!!!“

“The brisket was the best part; then the pudding bread, rib tip Mac & cheese and Sausage. The sticky sprouts are the cherry on top. I saved the 3 pcs of Pig Candy for when I get home.“

“If you understand BBQ-- REAL good BBQ takes time to smoke to a tender, juicy, pinky, perfect flavor. You need to have a great deal of patience and skill. Lee and Danita have that gift in their soul so you have to wait for all that goodness to be assembled for your dining experience. Sit and talk after placing your order be patient and you won't EVER be disappointed.“

“I love this place. We eat here at least 3xs a month. Everything is amazing! My favorite is the Tri Tip or Pulled Pork. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Its a bit expensive but the quality is top notch. Shakes are really good too!“

“Jackie and the team are fantastic! Everything here is house made! We had multiple sauces, meats, cornbread, chips and salsa, Mac n cheese and curry - all of which were enjoyed! I came here with multiple family members and clearly need to get back to sample dessert. They have good kids’ meal options plus a little gift area. Very clean and extremely nice service. Must try it all!“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Oh my goodness. The best BBQ we have had in Illinois. We have traveled to Tennessee, Missouri, Chicago and all over the Chicago suburbs and this place takes the cake. (Peg leg in Nashville still is the over all best we’ve had) We happened upon Porkey’s after our Chicago plans fell through. Wow!!!!!!!!!! We had several plates of meat, a kids meal, sides, and dessert and our bill was less than $50. The staff were friendly, attentive and they offered great suggestions. I was so satisfied with our whole experience. From beginning to end a great flipping meal. They also had the bears pre season game on. Everything was so tasty. I will say this… and it may be fighting words, but their lumpia were better than stix and noodles. We had brisket sandwich, 1/2 lb of pulled pork, chicken fingers, a bao bun, brisket lumpia and bread pudding. On sundays they also have apple cider donuts so yeah we had those too! 5 stars from beginning to end.“

“Reps is one of our favorite spots! The nachos and wings are amazing, and the food is always top-notch. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend it!“

“Food was very food. Service is really quick.“

“We go a few times a year between Schaumburg and downtown Chicago. We love the food and the service. Keep up the stellar work!“

“We were staying in the area for an overnight and stopped for an early dinner. BBQ was perfectly cooked. Hubby had ribs and I a brisket sandwich, both were great. His ribs fell off the bone, as they should. Mac & Cheese tasty as well. Atmosphere was nice, staff friendly, and service good. Would definitely recommend if you’re a BBQ lover.“

“Best BB.Q franchise for me. Gives the biggest peices, excellent saucing, and service.

For whatever reason many BB.Q Chicken locations only allow you to select only one flavor for a medium order. So if you want two different flavors you have to pay the higher charge to get two small sizes In different flavors. This location allows me to order two separate flavors for a medium order which saves me a headache, and a little money. I am willing to drive 5 minutes further to go to this location than the other 3 or so BB.Q locations that are slightly closer as a result. Keep up the good work guys!“

“Under New Management“

“their jackfruit vegetarian barbecue options are awesome. I highly recommend the onion rings as the side.“

“This place is perfect for Korean BBQ lovers. The unlimited grilled meats and authentic Korean flavors make every visit worth it. The bulgogi and galbi were packed with flavor, and the corn cheese and egg casserole sides were delicious. Great atmosphere, great food, and a fun dining experience every time.“

“The quality of the meat here is truly exceptional—fresh, tender, and full of flavor. You can immediately tell they take pride in what they serve. The side dishes are just as impressive: everything is clean, well-balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. They honestly remind me of my mom’s homemade cooking, which says a lot.
One of my absolute favorites here is the mul naengmyeon. The broth is incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the noodles have that ideal chewy texture. It’s easily the best naengmyeon I’ve had in Chicago—nothing else even comes close. Every visit here feels like a comforting, high-quality dining experience.“

“Everything was perfect!“

“Great Food, Great People!“

“It is a different level of service when you visit blue house. It is a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere and all of the food is the best here! authentic and fresh. So grateful to visit this lovely resturaunt. Worth every dollar and then some!“

“Chungkiwa is one of the most authentic Korean BBQ restaurants I’ve tried. The meat quality was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The side dishes were also incredibly fresh and delicious, which made the whole dining experience even better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for real Korean barbecue!“

“The food here is AMAZING! So much better than their competitors. I got the combo meal and everything tasted great. The staff is so warm and friendly. My new favorite place! Will be coming here often.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Hickory Roasters Restaurant at Rolling Meadows. The chicken was delicious, juicy, and the wood-fired flavor gave it an amazing taste. The coleslaw and spicy roasted potatoes were also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly.

What really stood out to me was the welcoming atmosphere. Watching one of the owners interact with a regular customer made it feel more like a family dinner than a typical restaurant. The staff was friendly and made everyone feel at home.

The menu offers a wide variety of options, so there's something for everyone. I had a great time and I'm already planning my next visit to try the barbecue ribs!“

“Our visit to Longhorn was quite memorable. Our waitress, Priscila V was attentive and friendly and brought our food promptly, hot, like we like it. We also had a visit from the manager, Abby D, who was friendly and professional and really made us comfortable. Can't recommend this location enough. Well run, good food, good prices.“

“from out of town and stopped on a whim. Def a good idea! Burgers were hand pressed, fresh cut fries and could tell oil was fresh so fries were excellent, shake had chocolate syrup drizzled on inside if glass- nice touch! will def stop again if in area.“
