Real authentic Texas style bbq in IL? Who would of thought! Brisket was tender and flavorful, pork belly aka meat candy was so good! Finally a place who actually makes it and does it right. Tried the other bbq places around the Chicago area and while they are good; Matt’s Barbecue does it the true texas style way. Did I mention they have Texas Twinkies? If you don’t know what that is..stop reading this and go try it out at Matt’s Barbecue; They do not serve disappoint.
Delicious! New to town, and can’t wait to make this spot a regular.

Closed a whole hour and a half early. Let any other business close early, it's a problem. And all the girl had to say was "it was a rough night. Im sorry..." will not be returning.

Going for my birthday lunch again this Sunday best smoke house bbq in il hands downKid-friendliness: Always treat my son super kind
Ordered catering for our 4th of July party last year (2023): 20 slabs of pork ribs, barbecue sauce (included), cole slaw (included), potato salad, and mac + cheese. Food was delicious apart from the cole slaw which was just average. They were kind enough to take our large order only several days before our party, which was greatly appreciated – smoking 20 full slabs of ribs is no joke!One thing to keep in mind is that each slab of ribs was wrapped in foil individually and not cut. We usually order from Mission BBQ and are used to having all of the ribs cut up and catered in a tray. Having each slab wrapped individually was actually pretty great, as we had a ton of leftovers and having the ribs uncut and wrapped individually kept the meat more fresh for the next few days!Few stars removed for various reasons… The online catering menu lists incorrect pricing for the ribs - listed online as $25 per slab, but placing the order over the phone, Aneta (who took my order), said they were actually $27 per slab. I mentioned that the website says otherwise, but she did not care. I told her they should update the pricing ASAP and she said ok… it is still listed with incorrect pricing in 2024!!!I inquired whether they provide any discounts for such large orders and she told me "no, because it is not a holiday”. I was confused because 4th of July is a national holiday.. Her response was “oh, well we only offer discounts at Christmas time”.Then she asked if I can stop in to make a cash deposit for half the order, but I offered to pay the full amount with my card over the phone. She then told me that orders like this require a cash deposit? I explained that I won’t be able to physically make it in that day and she ended up just taking my card over the phone for the full order??… strangeRegardless, I would order again only because the food was really good.

The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the live music and the outdoor patio. Our waitress went above and beyond. We'll be back!

The only reason they don't get five stars is because they were out of a lot of meats. They had my pulled pork, though ?
This is BAR FOOD posing as a BBQ joint. As a connoisseur of good bbq figured I try it out. WORST pulled pork I have EVER had in my life! No seasoning and was probably made in a crock pot. No smoke flavor at all. All three of the bbq sauces are TERRIBLE. "Burnt Ends" were mediocre at best. Tables are dirty. Sauce bottles are gross and sticky. Surprisingly the burger was good. If you want real bbq don't waste your time or MONEY here. If you want CRAPPY BAR FOOD. This is your place!
I like this place but they are not consistent. When the brisket is right it is awesome but every once in a while it's real dry and stringy. Same with pork belly some pieces are awesome and then the next piece is dry hard like a
