Purchased Rib tip and chicken wing combo. When I got home all the sauce had spilled out of the tray and into the bag. The sauce was watered down. The bottom of the bag was filled with the watery sauce. It was so watered down that I couldn't taste it on the food. Steak fries came with the meal. Half of the fries were not completely cooked and the other half were dried out as if they had been reheated. The chicken was not good either. I will never go to 79th Street BBQ again.

Was at smoothie King Thursday, While waiting for my wife smelled some BBQ so I ordered a large tip for my family and I. The Crew there was so friendly, Courteous, and nice I felt like a was a repeat customer. They were fast the food was DELICIOUS. So Delicious that I spent like $23 dollars Thursday for a large Tip. Came Back yesterday which was Saturday and Brought 2 large Tips and a X Large combo which comes with four links and we’re just finishing it today Sunday. Delicious and fulfilling. I’ll see them again next week.

they are never open, limited hours, they have ribs, fries, hot links, a few sides sometimes, fried chicken wings. no turkey tips, turkey links, smoked chicken wings, turkey legs, never any j*** chicken. good luck going there for whats on the menu. waiting for the next bbq joint to take that space... unbelievable!!!

I ordered the link, tip combo. The tips tasted good , could have been more tender in my opinion. The links were great. Some of the best links I've had in awhile. The fries were thick and taste fine however the sauce was not on point. I personally order "light sauce" on my food so It doesn't overpower the food but this sauce wasn't as good compared to other rib houses. But I would try 79st again for the turkey and beef tips or the burnt ends and brisket

Damn good BBQ. We arrived a little after 6:30pm on a Tuesday, so they didn't have too many items available but I had the 79th street combo which includes rib tips/ 2 links with a side of Mac n cheese and yams to go. The links are a bit spicy (that's not a complaint) and the rib tips are fire? the sauce is on point, not too sweet, not too spicy. Combos come with slices of white bread. The Mac n cheese was okay but the yams... DELICIOUS! I'll definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu.

I ordered turkey tips and chicken wings from this establishment for the first time and the food was delicious. Tender, juicy and well seasoned with generous amounts of barbecue sauce. The prices were competitive…inflation is hitting everyone hard. The staff was nice as well. I plan to order again soon.

Went on a Friday afternoon, Only a few guest and they had NO bread. COLESLAW, BEEF or TURKEY! Ordered tip/link combo which was supposed to come with a drink. Drink dispenser was broken but they said nothing. When I asked to get a can soda, they we VERY hesitant. Cashier was annoyed when we ask to delete something from our order, mainly because she was not proficient with the computer. Food was not hot., and we dined in. How does a Rib joint NOT have Bread??? NEVER AGAIN.

I drove about a 40 minute drive to try this place out. First thing is they only had pork tips and links!!! FOR SIDES ONLY HAD YUCKY YAMS AND GARLIC MAC AND CHEESE!!! The sides were over cooked, mushy sweet potatoes. The max and cheese was loaded with garlic and over cooked. The rib tips were kinda ok but more fat than meat. The sauce was ok. I would not be going back for the reasons I listed above and the young lady said I probably would never get all the sides on the menu on the same day! They haven't had yams in a month!! They gave free Carmel cake that was the most nastiest cake ever!!!! I will never return lbvs! The ambience is very nice thou!

Xlrg Pork Tip! Finally someone that understands that you don't want floppy fries! I like this place! I have to remember to let them know when I'm dining in. Cause i normally don't. Now the greens were extremely salty! The Mac and cheese was bland and had been reheated. The Ribtips were great as usual. This was my first time trying the side dishes. But I like the atmosphere.
I always waste time and gas coming here because they NEVER have food. Never any side items. How do you run out of fries and pop?

I came here after visiting the nail place a couple of doors down. My turkey sausage links, macaroni & cheese and greens all were way to spicy. Macaroni had way too much peper in it. I don't enjoy very spicy food. Please tell people in advance or on the menu when the food is going to be spicy. I will say the chicken wings were good and not spicy.

I called to make sure they had beef, as it's so good that they usually run out early. The people I talked to were friendly and very helpful in making sure I got exactly what I wanted. They did NOT disappoint!!!! The beef burnt ends were sooo tasty and meaty!! The beef tips were delicious as well as the beef hot links!!!!! Here's the rub, they are charging 13 bucks for a small combo, but honestly, it's quality food for a reasonable price. If I want more with meat with my meal, I'll pay them extra and get extra. I'm in love with this place, and everytime I want some delicious smoked goodness, I think of here!!! They are doing smoked beef right!!! Don't be put off with the negative reviews, those people must be tripping. 79th Street BBQ is the best in the city !!!!

When the food is prepared correctly, it's good. They put way too much mild sauce on your food to deter the amount of food they are giving you. The food is way overpriced for what they give you. The wings are very small and the ribs they give you is not enough. The sides should be free considering the small amount they give you. I'm so very unhappy with the service. And the customer service is horrible; what's the purpose of calling your order in ahead when you still have to wait 20 minutes to get your food. I'm not coming back again. Will be going to I57 here in out! At least you know what to expect!

Had a wonderful time at 79th street barbecue . The food is so delicious. The part I love the most, is when you stuff yourself. There’s still room for dancing.. The blues band is awesome… They even have open mic some Saturdays. So if you feel you could sing the blues, .come join me for a night of fun.. See you there
