This is a local spot near my friend's place. Food was good. Maybe just the time we were there that might have had something to do with the food being a bit overcooked. Either way, I'll go again to get a better experience.

The food tastes good but the portions are pretty small for the price. Enjoyable enough meal but the brisket is nothing to get excited about.

This place was sooooo good! Got the Memphis wings, and the brisket burnt ends slider (it was a lower priced alternative to the full brisket, since my main item was the wings)
Sweet and spicy sauces on the table were great.
Fries were great, especially w the aioli sauce that came w the brisket

Got the smoked chicken wings mix spicy and Memphis favored. Extremely disappointed in amount of both smoke and favor on both types of wings. All the wings were excessively dry and over burnt. My guess the wings were cooked hot and fast by someone who had never smoked wings before. This was my first and last time eating from this place. I gonna share my experience with area residents

Cold or reheated BBQ w faint cleaning fluid taste. Low enthusiasm and a stiff empty dining room. IF MCDONALDSDS WAS BBQ. THOUSANDS OF FAKE REVIEWS SHOULD KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS FOR A LITTLE WHILE THOUGH

I eat here once a week when I travel to Oak Park and I enjoy it every time. I've had bbq all over the USA and it varies with every region. I have had bad bbq, good bbq, and great bbq. This is great bbq. I get something different on each visit, and it's all been great!

Today 11/17/25 was the only time I’ve ever gotten gross food from any Q bbq. Hopefully it was just a fluke and they didn’t get bought by private equity or something... The bun was so stale it was hard and audibly crunchy. The pulled pork could have easily been mistaken for some type of gas station beef jerky. Not even exaggerating, I thought I bit into a piece of bone because the meat was so hard.

Visiting an old friend in Chicago. Brought her here for birthday dinner yesterday. I was very disappointed. We are both Southerners - her Tennessee, me Southside Virginia - and the sauces were unrecognizable. We both got pulled pork. We both got coleslaw. She was fairly satisfied. Me not at all. The pulled pork was dry and flavorless (how is that possible with PORK?). There was a strange rub on it - odd spices. The coleslaw was OK and unremarkable. The hush puppies were the best part - flavorful and crisp. But the sauces. I know that once I leave VA/NC, the “North Carolina” sauce will be way off. But I always try. It’s just masochistic. All the sauces were super sweet and weirdly thick, and the NC was dark brown. Eastern NC-style BBQ sauce is not very sweet at all. It is vinegary and peppery and reddish-orange and very thin. (And Western-style NC is not all that different, just has a tinch of ketchup in it.) My friend said the Memphis was not good and nothing she recognized, though she was happy with the pork. My recommendation to y’all: Go online and find King’s Famous BBQ sauce (Petersburg, VA) from the Taste Supply Company. Use it.
I came here with my wife for date night and we're immediately disappointed because they were out of ribs which my wife really had her heart set on.
While the food was ok, the service was absolutely phenomenal. Josh, I believe he might be the manager, turned our disappointment in one of the best dining experience in a while, my wife is still talking about him and had me write this review.
Anyways Josh, you were awesome and Maddie I believe, from Idaho, you were equally amazing. Thank you for the great service and hopefully your bosses see this and know that you two are the only reason we'll be back to try to the ribs.

Tried to eat here twice now. Both times, nobody was in the front. Waited 5 minutes, and ended up leaving. Does anyone even work here?

All of the meats were dry, and doused in pepper or some type of sweet rub that is overbearing. I want to say we got a bad batch but we had 5 meats so that can’t be it. The ribs looked like a mutation of something and tasted burnt.

The best part was honestly the pickles.
