“Lunch Special Rib Tips 10/10 Recommend“

“excellent food and service“

“I went here as a recommendation and came out a huge fan! The sauce is perfect and everything was cooked to perfection! It was even better seeing some of my former students serving and killing it! I truly recommend Lexington Betty Smokehouse!“

“Was recommended this restaurant from a friend. The maple tree and did not disappoint. Made a reservation online easy. Their menu is awesome, simple and delicious. Crab cake was perfect! Our dinner was fantastic. We had trout and shrimp. They have the best banana pudding over crème brûlée. The coffee for an end cap was out of this world good!“

“amazing customer service.... the owner let us sample the food ... delicious is a under statement... will definitely be back ❤️“

“best ribs tips I ever had. Portions are huge.“

“Great food, excellent service. Best BBQ in the area!“

“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!!!“

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

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be coming back! Their ribs are the best! Between the rest of my family I also sampled their pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. It was all great. Can’t wait to try everything else on their menu.“

“Excellant tasting food, and I was a Sous Chef at Chez Paul in the early eighties . I totally know my mixtures and taste relation! This establishment has it together. God Bless the retired Fireman and Police officer! There is no better tasting Rib House around the South Side than 911 ! GENTLEMEN the rib tips are heavenly!?“

“FOOD WAS AMAZING … CLEAN AND FRIENDLY.. ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“This is my favorite place to eat , great prices , they have items on the menu that u can’t get anywhere else like the pork tenderloin dinner , it’s huge, double pork chop dinner around 20 bucks take you all day to eat it .

“This is one of the best Bar and Grill I've been to in a long time. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was fabulous. I would recommend Bernice's to anyone! Thank you for hosting my dad's 80th birthday celebration“

“Hands down the best barbecue around. The staff is fantastic, the prices are more than fair, and most importantly the food has me coming back at least once or twice a week. Joe has always been fantastic, always making sure I get exactly what I’m looking for and even has looked out for me more than once with allergies.“

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

“Had such an amazing time with my mother to celebrate her birthday!! Will come again!! <3“

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

“Great brisket nachos and at a good price. friendly people as well!“

“I absolutely enjoy everything they have ever cooked for me. I especially love the Lamb Chops. Umm Umm Good“

“Let me start off by saying, I rock with this place!! I’ve been going for years since the smaller location. The customer service on this experience was HORRIBLE!! I asked for extra sauce on my Jumbo tip and link combo, small turkey tip, and 6 wings ($55). When the cashier relayed the request to the lady who was preparing the food she got a real crappy attitude like I was asking for too much. I guess because they were almost closing. I asked her what she said and she went all off. “I wasn’t talking to you I was talking to her!” I asked what her name was and she refused to give it to me. No name tags present or I wouldn’t have asked. Then she directed me to the manager who was also preparing food for any concerns that I may have. I asked the manager Nivia Battle (I think that’s what she said) was she required to give me her name. She said no. Her attitude was crappy as well. Just negative energy behind the glass. Except for the cashier. I also told the that they need to improve their customer service and that I WILL BE BACK!! I have no complaints about my order at all. Food was great!!! They just need to get someone back there that’s actually going to do their job without being so nasty.“

“Food and drink- awesome - awesome!“

“I have tried many items from Vallee BBQ and the food keeps me coming back for more every time!

Baby back ribs
Chopped brisket ?
Smashburger ?
Pulled lamb sandwich
Fire roasted corn ??
Lemon pepper fries
BBQ SAUCE!!!
Fudge stripe banana pudding

Mouthwatering ? I will be ordering again“

“Hands down the best, excellent proportions, and the sauce is to die for, also price is reasonable.“

“THE CATFISH WAS THE BEST EVER!!“

“CASH ONLY

Drove past this place around 9AM and saw and smelled all the smoke coming from this place.

Came back later after they opened and was glad we did. Ordered 2 medium tips and 2 medium combo tips and links.

All 4 orders were loaded up. Great value for the price.

The sauce was mild and not sure if there were more sauce options. Next time gonna tell them to put sauce on the fries too.“

“I reakky love getting my chicken and fish from here!“

“🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽, Yes the food is on point as well as very friendly staff an phenomenal experience!“

“I ordered a Half Slab of Baby Back Ribs, 1/2 lb of Beef Brisket (burnt ends), and a small side of Mac and Cheese. The portions of meat were generous and well-seasoned, generously coated in BBQ sauce, making them quite delicious. However, the Mac and Cheese did not meet expectations and needs improvement. I was taken aback by the restaurant's size; it was quite small. As someone in a wheelchair, I had difficulty making a 360-degree turn due to the narrow waiting area. Despite this, the atmosphere was pleasant, filled with the enticing aroma of BBQ, and the chef was friendly and laid-back. Overall, I recommend Medley's BBQ and plan to return to try their Turkey Tips and Fried Chicken Skins.“

“Forget the girl at Burger King...Noriah ( I hope I am saying her name correctly) at Lawrence's in CC Hills, Illinois should get the soul food employee of the year! She handled about 8-10 customers taking orders, cooking food, chopping up rib tips, slicing cake, grilling fish, boxing food...plus more! I was so impressed! She was AMAZING! I will be back for those rib tips soon! Thank you so much for your wonderful service! 😀“

“We dined here today mainly due to having a gift card. My husband opted for the 9oz filet with mashed potatoes and macaroni & cheese, accompanied by Sprite. I chose a peach sangria and the 7 pepper sirloin salad and loaded baked potato soup combo. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere was a welcome respite during our Christmas shopping in the snow. We appreciated our friendly server, quick service, and the good food, which exceeded our expectations and made us want to come back. See you next time Longhorns!“

“Best food and very clean! I highly recommend 👍👍👍“

“Quick and easy service! Delicious food!“

“The first time I went in I ordered the three piece catfish dinner. It came with fries, coleslaw and corn on the cob. What I was surprised with was the packaging. It was placed in an aluminum tray and packaged so well that I was highly impressed. My food was prepared by the male chef. It was delicious. I was so impressed that I told my neighbors. The next time I ordered a lady answered the phone and took my order of the same first order. Her customer service skills were poor and the same order that I ordered before was a disappointment. The fish was not crisp and packaging was a plastic bag. The real cook who was chef that cooked my order should train the staff in their cooking skills. I haven’t been back. If a standard is set customers will be faithful and tell others about the food served and the quality of customer service.“

“Great food and great customer service“

“I really like the rice bowl with the chicken 🐔 skewers!!“

“day mfing chicken sandwich“

“Ate here tonight and the food was wonderful. We had jerk turkey tips, jerk salmon and shrimp, yam, greens, cabbage, Mac and cheese and fried rice. Everything was tasty, hot, freshly made and spicy. The ladies were super friendly, helpful and provided great service. We will definitely be back to try other items. Ask about the specials that aren’t in the regular menu. Yum!“

“We hired Big Joe's for our farm wedding and the food and professionalism was incredible! Joe was easy to work with and provided great service before, during, and after the event. Our guests have been raving about the food and we can't wait to host another large event so that we can work with Big Joe's again!“

“I was visiting from Canada and we stopped here to grab a quick bite for lunch! The food was incredible, I had the rib tips and they did not disappoint! Thank you 🙏“

“Muy rica la comida excelente servicio ! muy limpio, felicidades“

“My biggest issue with restaurants now days is that they don't take call in orders, therefore directing you to an app that charges in some cases an extra $10 for the same menu item. Even for pickup orders! So either you have to go in-store and order which means a longer wait and overall inconvenience or order on the app and spend extra money... I know everyone does it, but it's a terrible business strategy. Food is good tho.“

“we were at a wedding that had an after party that was changed at the last minute to this bar. Our bar tender Odette, was amazing. She handeled the whole party of 50+ with such grace and ease. The service at this bar is exceptional. Thank you for making the night fantastic for our group!“

“Best lounge experience I’ve had in years. 💯“

“Great food! Highly recommend“
