35 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Oak Brook

“We visited Blackwood BBQ at the Mart yesterday and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the staff were incredible. My brother is deaf, and Darnell and Demetrius were patient and helpful, communicating with him directly rather than looking to me for help communicating with him. This seems like a small gesture, but it's a really big deal for us and we appreciated their kindness.“

“Excellent food!! Great really clean for as busy as they are.. I will definitely be coming back frequently 🫡“

“My friend and I stopped in at Firewater BBQ in Elmhurst on Thursday Dec. 1st for the "Granny's Lunch Box Special" which is available daily from 11AM-2PM. This was my second visit and my friend's first at Firewater. We both ordered the Angus beef brisket sandwich with a side of 3 cheese Mac & Cheese and a soda. The brisket (smoked for 22 hrs) is amazingly tender and flavorful. It was piled high on a toasted brioche bun and is served with your choice of sweet or spicy BBQ sauce or both if you like. The Mac & Cheese is sooo silky-smooth and creamy and compliments the brisket quite well. There are complimentary pickled jalapeños and sweet & spicy pickles available as well. My friend was so impressed by this amazing brisket that he placed another exact order to go to bring home. The cashier who also took our order was very friendly and polite. We told one of the chefs, Shawn, (pictured) that we really enjoyed the brisket and complimented his skills. My friend and I will both be returning to Firewater BBQ and we'll definitely be letting our family and friends know about this wonderful BBQ spot.“

“Wonderful BBQ feast delivered for our company picnic. Ordering was easy, delivery was on time, set up was quick and the food was delicious! Thank you for helping make our event a success!!“

“The food is so incredible even the ribs! Staff are very kind and Wood Dale is a great city! Prices are also reasonable.“

“Top tier bbq, even better customer service. I placed an online order for delivery for my family dinner and got a notification that the food was picked up and on the way. I live fairly close to the restaurant so I was surprised when I saw that the delivery driver (third party service) was in a different town and my ETA kept getting longer and longer. I called the restaurant and told them about the issue and actually ended up being put on with The owner Joey. This guy ended up repacking my order and hand delivering it himself!!! Great guy. 10/10 bbq 10/10 customer service.“

“We used Sharko’s for our community wide BBQ and not only was the food terrific, Ron and his crew did a great job and helped make our event memorable. They served almost 400 people and everyone loved the food and the event. Thank you for a great evening!“

“I have used Johnny's Catering & Bar-B-Que on at least three occasions where they proved that their catering and dishes are consistently delicious, their staff courteous and professional and their delivery of the food on time and cordial. Guests at my home events love Johnny's Catering food.“

“Stopped by the restaurant after work and what a great decision! Got the rib tips and fries but can't wait to try more! I've met John Jr. in the past but had the pleasure of being served by Sr. today.

“Slyce wings review

I Checked out the new wings offered at Slyce.

I ordered the mango habanero (6pc) and honey bbq (10pc) a slice of pizza while waiting for the rest of the group to arrive…and I’m glad I did. Bc the rest of the guys came, ordered, got their food before the wings arrived. Took atleast 20 min for the wings for dine in.

The wings were cut so drummette were separate from the flats. So 1 anatomical wing is considered 2 pcs.

The pcs were on the small size. Nice presentation. The wings were very hot (temp wise) since we were dining in. There skin had a nice crunch. Not overly bread coated. Minimal fat under the skin which I prefer. Generous amount of flavor sauce. Comes with a cup of ranch

Mango habenero flavor was on great. Not overly spicy. Good tang/kick to it. Spicy bbq is bbq sauce with red chilli peppers. Standard stuff.

Overall value is there. Would be better if the pieces were bigger. (I had the halal BWW a week ago as a comparison and those were almost double the size). Order ahead. And I believe if you eat them too late they become soggy. Which might be the case with any wings.

Overall I give these a solid 8.5/10. Will get again in the future.“

“Bbq + tacos, yes please. BBQ Chicken Taco with pico de gallo, cilantro, Pulled Pork Taco caribbean salsa, pico de gallo & spicy lime aioli and Brisket Burnt Ends Taco with chimichurri, slaw and cilantro. At $3.50 to $4.00 a taco, they were small. But they were tasty. #spicemeister approved.“

“Their Santa Fe salad is something I crave almost every day! Please open a location near Bartlett!!! I think I’d be there every day“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“wonderful food and affordable and tasty“

“What an excellent eating experience!! The waiter was friendly and seemed to anticipate our requests. It was my first time in a Korean restaurant and I was glad that my son accompanied me and explained the various foods and choices. It was SO comfortable and enjoyable! The food was AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional eating experience!!“

“Great family owned business“

“Authentic and Delicious!
Dukat is a cozy little spot with amazing Balkan food! Everything tastes homemade — the ćevapi, sarma, and fresh bread were outstanding. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels just like home. A true hidden gem!“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“chili is great sandwiches are great“

“customer service was excellent and precise pretty Black Woman Sandra and Handsome cook Tony Best Hotdog I have ever had better than Portillo’s Clean establishment and had to give an compliment when due to staff“

“delicious food ample portions, terrific homemade sauces...“

““Flirted With My Tastebuds”

Tribute didn’t just feed me they seduced me. The BLT? Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and toast so perfect it deserves its own fan club. Onion rings? Golden halos of happiness. Birria fries? A glorious, cheesy mess I’d gladly ruin a shirt for. Drinks? Smooth enough to make bad decisions taste good. Patio vibes? String lights, sunset skies, and the kind of energy that makes you “accidentally” stay for hours.

Go hungry, leave smitten.“

“We had an event at Nobel House on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was great and the food was out of this world. We had about 40 people and many told me how much they liked the food , atmosphere and service. Thanks to everyone there for making it great.“

“This place is an absolute Hit! If you love Chicken and traditional Eastern European/Balkan food this place is the place to be!“

“My fiancé and I have been a gyro war. I’m a Skokie Dengeos girl and he’s a diehard Squabs fan. While it’s hard to compete with childhood memories after trying Squabs I totally get it. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was beautiful, the fries were delicious. The absolute standout was the customer service. I was having such a bad day. I confused the gyro plate with the gyro dinner and they took such good care of me. I had cried the whole ride over and left with the biggest smile and a plate of leftovers. 10/10 I will be coming back every chance I get.“

“Love this place for the Renegade Sirloin. Get it every time. I ventured out once and tried the prime rib, which was surprisingly disappointing in flavor. But again, the Renegade Sirloin is the way to go. And the mashed potatoes...OMG!

*Update- just went again and had the best service from Brittany. She was amazing and very friendly. Not sure if I've had a more attentive server.“

“What a pleasant experience we had tonight!
From the young lady who checked us in, to our server Daniel H( who was funny and top notch), to the bussers, one employee was more pleasant than the other. The management does a great job stressing customer service… and our steaks were awesome! Keep up the good work!!!!“

“I was impressed with the whole experience“
