30 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Oakbrook Terrace

“After reopening, this place changed more likely similar to the one in Glenview. It's better than before and I like it. The quality of food is great. You won't regret your money for the food and service. I highly recommend this place.“

“Isaac from mission was awesome. I had to go order he took care of everything I asked for. Packaged up everything real nice it was a large order. Even walked it out to my car. I appreciate the effort of going above and beyond thank you, Isaac.“

“I tried the Fire & Grill yesterday for take out order. I ordered 6-piece wings and fries in both Grilled and fried. I can say they were equally very good. Nice size and done just right. Juicy and good flavor with plenty of tasty fries. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They informed me that the grilled wings only 4 were ready and I could wait a few minutes for the other two but offered to give me a leg and thigh in its place if I did not want to wait. I took them up on the offer and the grilled leg and thigh was also very good. I will be ordering from here again. The only thing I would say is that I did not see a bathroom available for those that want to dine in and wash your hands afterwards.“

“A great bar with even better food! Rose was a phenomenal server and had our food out quick even on a Friday night!Parking: Parking right out front is hard, but there’s a free garage less than 5 minutes walking from the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: All thresholds are easily navigated with a wheelchair. The front door does not have an automatic opener.“

“Uncle Bub’s was such a fantastic caterer for our wedding. They helped with setting up all linens, centerpieces, chargers, menus, signs, and any and all decor we needed for the event. They got there right on time, knew exactly what they needed to do and were just so helpful throughout the whole event. They were cleaned up on time and made sure everyone was served and taken care of the whole time. Absolutely no complaints from any of our guests and only great compliments on both the food and service.Not only was their day of service fantastic, but the planning process with them was very smooth. Easy to contact, flexible with tastings and conversations on weekends when we had more availability. It never felt stressful or overwhelming and any questions they were able to address and ease our minds throughout the whole planning process.Please consider them for any events as they were a joy to work with across the board!“

“Great spot for in and out service! They offer fast service while still maintaining high quality eats. Burger stand ambiance with top quality food. I've ordered from here many times, and haven't found anything I didn't like. Some of my favorites are Philly cheesesteak and Philly chicken. Both are super yummy! Gyros, burgers, Italian beef, bbq beef, all delicious. Oh, don't forget the fries. I order mine well done and they nail it spot on every time. The pizza puffs RULE! That's it dear diners, check them out and enjoy.“

“The best bbq around hands down. Super Smokey flavor and smoked to perfection. My only gripes was you have to order at the counter and they call your name. I stalled the line a bit cause I didn’t know the menu but it’s not that difficult to do either. I’m guessing less staff = lower prices and I didn’t think it was crazy expensive, it’s decent. Second gripe was the paper towels in the center of the table, should be off to the side but no biggey, easy work around. Great place though! I’ll be back.“

“Like most, we've had a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's Sauce in our pantry for years. I was recently tasked with finding a new place to meet up with friends. With the help of Yelp, I stumbled across Sweet Baby Ray's Restaurant. The BBQ was excellent, the Service was perfect, and the ambiance of the place is just as it should be. I'll be back again soon. If you are in the area and like BBQ, make sure you give them a visit.“

“Attended BBQ 101 presentation at Beach Ave. Juan and Chris, the owners, are very knowledgeable, and they both shared the style in which they prepare and cook for the restaurant. The conversation and interaction with all of us was informative and funny throughout. We were also served to sample the finished foods they were demonstrated. Along with the food, several beers and soft drinks were also available to sample. If you enjoy BBQ and smoking meats and poultry, I would highly recommend attending this event. You will come away with added knowledge of the art of preparation and smoking items for you and your family and friends to enjoy.“

“First time ever in, the place was super clean, staff very friendly and the food was absolutely fantastic. 1/2 was some of the best I ever had, ribs were great, and sides were amazing. The food came out super hot and fresh as well. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I had an issue with a pick up order with an extended wait time on an obviously busy day on mother's day. Management called me the same day to remedy the situation. I appreciate the promptness of the response and the initiative to remedy it going forward.“

“Nice little place. Have some nice games to play and some bingo nights and stuff like that. Food is really good for a small little bar. Wait staff was friendly and service was great. If your looking for a nice casual place to go hang out while you have some food and play some games and watch some sports , give it a “

“This is a hole in the wall you would probably skip based on the appearance. We dropped in late in the afternoon, having never tried the place because it doesn't look like anything to speak of. (Ironically it's next to an amazing divey Mexican take out restaurant.) And that said, I would not dine-in at either place, but if you are looking for take-out, it's a good choice. We had a final-4 game to get home and watch, so we didn't want to wait long enough to try the runs, but John served up some pulled pork and slaw lickety split. And we were very happily surprised. The food was very good.“

“My wife and I went here for dinner a few weeks ago for our anniversary. This was the first place we came for our first dinner date when we started dating 7 years ago. We love this place!The atmosphere, the service and the food are always exceptional! We started off our night with a few cold beverages. Then decided on our appetizer.First, we ordered some jalapeno cornbread for appetizer.Then for our main course garlic mashed potatoes with sage gravy, barbecued ribs, beef brisket and pulled pork! So very flavorful. So very tasty. I highly highly recommend!Want to say thanks again to Chuck's and their staff for making our anniversary always memorable! If you love barbecue definitely check out Chuck Southern Comforts Cafe in Darien, Illinois 5 stars all day long! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We got a 16” pepperoni pizza and breaded zucchini. The total with tax and small tip was $33. Not bad and on par with other area pizza joints. This pizza was pretty good. Enough cheese and each slice had at least 1-2 pieces of pepperoni on it. The sauce was also pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like was the crust. Well it was don’t perfectly, it seems just a little chewy. But no where near enough where I wouldn’t get it again. I would recommend Duncan and Dada’s and would actually get the pizza again. My wife loves the breaded zucchini. The pieces were big, unlike other area places where it’s small pieces and all you get is breading. She said it’s her favorite breaded zucchini.We will definitely be back.Parking: Park in the front of the building I’m for easy access to pick up food. If you want to bowl, park in the back.“

“Gave this place a whirl during my lunch before tuning 4 pianos at Crone Middle School. It exceeded my expectations so much that I came back after tuning those pianos which was 4.5 hours later and the cashier even recognized me which was a nice surprise. Customer service was great and the food was even better. I love that they have a few different sauces to experiment with the tasty food. The sassy, shark sauce and shark white and can’t forget there version of the Carolina sauce. All of it was on point. I had the half chicken and a sausage link with a side of green beans, mashed potatoes and sweet mashed later on with the corn muffin. Everything was kosher and definitely will be back next week as there are more pianos to be tuned at different schools. Highly recommend this place!“

“Starting with the potato leek soup, wow, the smoke flavor in this soup really elevated it to a new level. Then the burnt ends served over BBQ potato chips, it was a double good combination. (Pro tip: the chips that soak up the burnt ends drippings are dynamite. Finished of the night with the cowboy Reuben... Seriously good “

“This is through the parking garage! I want to say that first because we were like why are we in a parking garage. It was not easy to find when you’re not from the area. Having that said it’s super cute and the brisket was spot on. I got the super fatty, which is an option. It was however not super fatty but it was super soft and yummy. We brought our two year old and one year old. They had the cheeseburger and chicken strips and killed them both. My partner had smoked salmon and loved it. He has salmon everywhere so if he says it’s good, it is. My sister had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and also loved that. The area has a brewery, sugar factory, another restaurant, Harley Davidson, and that’s all I saw but it was adorable! Could for sure spent a few hours hopping and trying different appetizers/drinks. Ps. There are string lights decorating the ceiling. It’s a plus for kids“

“Food was really good! The pulled pork sandwich was excellent! The burgers were delicious! The kids meals were good! I'm only keeping it at a 4/5 stars because we waited for almost an hour for our food. The waitress was great and everything about it was great! I would definitely recommend and go here again, just don't be in a hurry.“

“We ordered the burnt ends with pit beans and corn bread, and the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. The order was ready for pickup on time. and stayed hot while we drove home, about 20 mins. These meats were sooooo tender (which is high on my for good BBQ) and tasty. My partner liked his sides too, and the sweet potato fries were also pretty good. We both agreed that we want to come back when we're ready for BBQ again. 5 amazing stars for the meats. 4 stars for the sides.“

“Still a BBQ Mission fan but this one comes close!Lovely establishment featuring a Tuesdays Rib Special . Great place for fundraising ! We loved the Brisket which is moist and has a bit of delicious fat, the pulled pork is not dry but flavorful and turkey slices are just ok -maybe lacking flavor which can be dressed up with a choice of sauce.The two slices of bread could be replaced by the traditional corn bread .The coleslaw was freshly made and yum! We found the mac & cheese to be bland and is a surprise because other patrons complained about this item and feedback didn’t seem to help! The triple chocolate cake is tasty but not moist enough so it crumbles.We paid $34 and was enough for two persons.Very pleasant staff will return on Tuesdays !“

“I have been coming to squabs for years now along with my family. They always have the most tastiest foods and my favorite is the gyro plate because it’s such a good portion that can be made into two meals if you are spreading out your meals. I came in one day 10 minutes till closing, they still made my order with much love and care, and I appreciate their service. 100% recommend squabs and trying out their menu items since there is many delicious options.“

“I love they food it’s always good and hot the service I have had has been great very nice I get they ceasar salad with chicken so good and I also get they bbq rostissare with there macaroni and when I got a taste for bbq I get there half slab rib very delicious and I have tasted there burgers it’s very “

“I stopped in for dinner at Famous Dave’s on March 28th with a couple of buddies. I’d never been and had to try their bbq - and it was delicious! Highly recommend the brisket nachos, and if you go on a Thursday, their Rib Tip platter is fantastic.The service was incredible too. If you go, ask for Steph. She made sure we were taken care of, went out of her way to share her recs, and even brought the manager by to say hello - really cool guy! Couldn’t have asked for better service.Will definitely be back soon!“

“Our go-to steak place in Bolingbrook. Family lives here and is our favorite spot to eat at when craving a nice cooked and seasoned steak. Service is fast and friendly. The only downside is that it can get really packed on weekends and despite the parking lot being large, can be a bit difficult to find parking. Can't blame it though, service is top notch and keeps people coming back.“

“5 stars and no complaints !!I am very picky person and also I usually cook meal at home so I never feel outside restaurant food fresh. BUT, The food is so delicious and fresh here and service is great. Price is reasonable and specially the place is very clean. We can’t wait to go back again.“

“Possible BEST TACO I’ve ever had! The Burnt end Taco is amazing! Try everything! I crushed six tacos this visit and want more!Parking: Shared parking lot can get a little busy in peak times.Wheelchair accessibility: Level ramp areas and large bathrooms.“

“Third time coming and service never disappoints. Staff and managers are very friendly and attentive from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave . Our server this time was Deyse and the last two times was Danny, both have proven to go above and beyond for their customers . Manager DANIEL came to our table greeted us and made us feel welcomed . Gotta love a place like this. Wonderful food and drinks . Bathrooms where cleaner then any other restaurant I been in . Over all will definitely keep coming back here . It’s literally the perfect combination of HOT POT AND BBQ in one spot . Free parking guys don’t snooze .“

“First we used the app to check in. It said 1 hour waiting. Which was as expected. But it was 90 minutes before being seated. 2nd reason food was not as my husband and I ordered. We ordered our steak medium rare. It was cooked to medium. I ordered a side of mushrooms. The mushrooms were on my steak.The waiter was alright. Since they were extremely busy. But the food was upsetting!“

“Generous portions, food stayed warm from when I picked it up to when I got it home, and everything tasted good. The restaurant is a little too chaotic for dining in for my taste, but it was definitely well populated and exactly what plenty of other people were looking for.“
