19 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Geneva

“Rating this place is difficult because I love BBQ and I’ve been searching for a good one for awhile. The first time coming here (take out) was fantastic. Plenty of food, good prices, good service, and delicious food. The second time (dine -in) following a few months was not the same. Food was not all that tasty and Mac & cheese is always spicy regardless requesting without spice. It just didn’t hit the same. I do enjoy this place and want to visit a third but unsure if it’ll be like loving my first visit or settling like my second visit. Regardless, I still believe this might be one of the best BBQ place in the suburbs, which coming from is says a lot. I have had plenty of ribs from plenty of places!“

“I was there for the 9/11 memorial and these guys know how to do it right. The food is always good and I highly recommend getting the Brisket (wet), with green beans or collard greens or both. This is my favorite meal - but like I said, you can't go wrong with anything that you order. The staff is always friendly and the pictures all over the wall represent Warriors and Heros of the community as well as the Gold Star Heros. This more than a place to eat - it is an experience that, if you take the time and allow it, will move you. If you don't know what I mean, just visit and spend some time there.
Semper Fi!“

“The menu is extensive, food is freshly made and delicious and the soups are better than any restaurant soup I have ever had.... I have to admit, I am "addicted" to the soups, primarily the Baked Potato Soup. I could eat that every day. I am what one would call "a regular" thru the drive thru for most often, the soup, however, the salads and variety that they offer are plentiful and again, delicious.... Highly recommend the Patio/Aurora, IL.“

“Natalie (waitress) rocked. Very good at her job. She is definitely an asset to Duke's. Great job Natalie.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Not only have I loved Hawthornes from when I was a kid growing up in West Chicago! It was the PERFECT place to have my wedding. Lou, Heidi and Kelly did fantastic and helped make my dream come alive! Every question I had they answered and were able to accommodate so much! Heidi was in CONSTANT communication with me and was able to give advice and help me through the whole process. Her suggestions were so helpful and she helped during the ceremony and reception. I could not have done it without them. This place treats you like family and has amazing service! When my husband and I went to pick up our things the next morning we were planning on taking 2 trips and Lou let us borrow his truck that is how amazing and friendly they are! WE LOVE YOU HAWTHORNES! Thanks for making our wedding the best day of our lives(: not to mention EVERY guest couldn’t stop talking about how fun the venue was and there was something for everyone to do, wiffleball, volleyball, giant beer pong, bags, dancing, and more! Everyone was able to have fun the whole time!“

“I've passed by here SO MANY TIMES and recently decided to pop in because I wanted a pizza puff...I left with much more LOL

Also tried the Grecian chicken, souvlaki combo (chicken and pork), and rib tips. Everything was pretty delish, service was quick...took about 10-12 minutes for all of this. There is a decent amount of seating and parking.

I'm a fan...love me a good family owned neighborhood business! Have already been back again in the same week!“

“Mr. Jesus attended us, super attentive, the empanadas were very good, the ones with mechadas have a lot of meat. I recommend them when I return to Illinois, I would go to this place without thinking twice.

Parking: It is broad“
