15 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Highland Park

“I came to a private event at Shaevitz. The staff was very kind and welcoming, the food was fantastic. The brisket and burgers are very flavorful. Shaevitz is conveniently located in downtown Highland Park with plenty of parking in the area. Supporting a conservative Kosher business is definitely a plus.

Will definitely return.“

“Really good food with wonderful waitstaff. #iraeats“

“We got the BBQ Salmon, Brisket, Shrimp and the owner even tossed in a fantastic Greek Salad on the house. This place is walking distance from home, definitely coming back with the family“

“This is the first time my family and I are here. This restaurant has been around for 3 years and somehow, it has gone under my radar and I'm mad about it. Lol. The food here is fantastic and the family that runs this restaurant is super kind and generous. Excellent sized portions which makes this a tremendous bang for your buck. Umm, the gyro here...best kept secret (not any longer, I guess) Be sure to try the sage tea! Everything was so wonderful that I can't wait to go back and try something new!“

“Best barbecue in the land… little drive from the city but we’ll worth it… flavor and portion nobody can compare“

“My wife and I were seated promptly at the bar on Friday night with our reservation. Drinks were delivered and were generous: my Macallan 12 year old was almost a double! Meal was served within 30 minutes: fantastic ribs, bbq pork chop, twice baked stuffed potato, coleslaw, creamed spinach. Perfection! $120 with top and tax. We will be back!“

“Pretty good restaurant. Food is good and would give it a 4 out of 5 stars. My favorites are the Lemon Pork Belly and the short ribs. 4 out of 5 The staff was polite, though on some occasions fell rushed. Everyone is friendly, but you can definitely tell the difference when you get a vet to a newbie. 5 out of 5 for friendly vibes, 3 out of 5 for attentiveness, like needing to ask several times for items. It can be a bit overwhelming I imagine for the newer staff. Price is good for what you get. I recommend the premium menu, though there is upcharge for ramen. 5 out of 5. I think it’s a solid 4 out of 5 for me. Pretty good even if the process isn’t always streamlined.“

“I enjoyed the brisket and green beans; however, I didn't care for the Bama chicken. The restaurant was nice and clean. They offered several different bbq sauces, which was nice. The person who waited on us was efficient but not very friendly.“

“My entire family devoured our food. We were comatose afterwards. We ordered rib tips, turkey, brisket, & half chicken. The meat was so good & tender. Baked beans were surprisingly delicious as well. However, $25 pp, complimentary cornbread would have been appreciated. Lasrly, the Mac & cheese was bland but edible.“

“An excellent Chinese BBQ place run by a very friendly and knowledgeable couple. They really know the art of BBQ and everything is cooked and prepared to perfection. The BBQ chef there had been around for at least a decade back from before the current owners took over the shop.

The prices are very reasonable and the taste authentic. The best part is buying BBQ from here saves me the time and hassle of going to Chinatown.“

“My kid wants me to call this review "best customer service I've ever had." He's not wrong. Despite a couple mistakes, the team and manager Noel went above and beyond to make it right. We’ll be back!!“

“Tried it today for the first time! Very delicious, I loved the chicken mac & cheese. (Toddler approved too) The Cajun chicken sandwich is pretty good! I expected it would be spicy but sadly it wasn’t 🥲 Still was a great sandwich though! The cornbread muffins are amazingggg

Kid-friendliness: They have kid menus that come with crayons 🖍️“

“Highly Recommended especially Party Trays. Very tasty good! Pick up was quick, and service was friendly.Im sure I'm gonna order again!..“

“They catered a lunch for 15. The food was excellent and they’re great to work with. #iraeats.“
