Barbeque Restaurants near Riverdale

“My first time trying this joint and it was delicious. My husband and I decided to try this spot real quick for lunch and the wait was a little long but definitely worth it. The rib tips lunch combo was nice and hot and the meat fell right off the bone ! I was like wow this is so fire! ?“

“Great food and service as usual. Had a celebration bday dinner the waiter and staff were very attentive and nice. We enjoyed our drinks (Zombie ?) the food was delish always get the Voodoo Nuts! Beautiful night in one of my favorite restaurants!“

“Came here tonight for a networking event, and was blessed with more food than I thought I would receive, for the price that I paid. And it was sooo good! The service was friendly, patient and fun. The atmosphere was easy-going and fun. Especially, when it came time to play BINGO. I will be coming back again and again.Kid-friendliness: I brought my teen with me and she enjoyed winning a BINGO, and she said she liked the food.“

“Buzzin BBQ is hands down my favorite local place to eat. I've had nearly everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed. The brisket is my absolute favorite. It's so tender and juicy, just what I'm looking for. The portions are good sized, definitely worth the price. And don't look past the sides, that mac and cheese is one of the best things on the menu. Buzzin BBQ is frequently adding menu items, keeping the menu as fresh as the BBQ. The dining space is really nice and clean. I cannot recommend Buzzin enough!“

“I have driven by this place five days a week for the last two years. I decided to stop today. Fall off the bone ribs and the tips links combo is excellent!!! I heard someone say to have a successful restaurant you must have these 3 things… Good food, good prices and good portions, they have them all…“

“Horse Thief impressed me with its outstanding service and flavorful chicken salad. From warm greetings to attentive staff, every moment was enjoyable. The chicken salad was perfectly cooked and paired with fresh ingredients. A must-visit for anyone in the area! Beverly staple! Best in the neighborhood.“

“This place has food that you will love on the menu because everything is good!! I enjoy the professionalism and the fact that it's black owned. The dining outside is really nice! They run out of their drinks so you have to catch them and try it. Sweet and tasty! I love this place.“

“The food was amazing! I live in the suburbs and wouldn’t definitely make the trip to them. I’ve tried different places with the same menu and none of them come close! Definitely going back and recommending it to anyone looking for a really good boil.“

“Doc's is the kind of place where you've got people from out of town in, and they want BBQ. And you want a huge variety of tap craft beers . Or you want to go there just for the beer. Surprisingly, they also have a huge whiskey selection as well. Oh, the BBQ, very good. Pig wings are flash fried smoked wings. They are fantastic. Everything else is wonderful, brisket, pulled pork and the sides. All at a reasonable price. Service.... Staff is very knowledgeable, especially the bartender who knows a thing or two about the liquor he serves. Great place ??“

“Came for the Friday special - Pulled Rib Sandwich. It was phenomenal. This is THE SPOT for some fire BBQ. You can smell it from the parking lot. This restaurant NEVER disappoints, so try anything. It'll be good!! I PROMISE!!! Amber has incredible customer service. Restaurant is cute and clean.“

“The team of them made me smile after a very hard day working. I was at the brink of crying when the person answered the phone for my order. She was so nice and her boss heard I was having a tough day. He said, "Your order is going to be special, I promise." It was the BEST dinner. He said I needed some comfort food. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravyDELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Cool place, great service, went in with a gift card, had the staff check the balance, Logan provided great service, took my order correctly and gave exact time the order will be served. I'll be returning for a dine in experience next! Thanks Logan! You rock dude!?Keep up the great work!“

“Okay if this want located in the same building with a barbecue place and a sandwich shop (meaning NO PARKING), in a spot surrounded by crime, I'd put it right up there with the best good old fashioned donut shops. The donuts are fresh and delicious. The lack of parking is a serious drawback, and I'm not walking very far to get donuts on that high crime corner. A security detail in the parking exceedingly small parking lot would go along way to securing a five star rating.“

“I’m a pick eater and this place is delicious from ribs to chicken hot links,chicken ribs coleslaw and the Mac and cheese just need a tap of salt the flavor bust out than the cooks has very great customer service!!! So try them out my daughter Resha found them ? ?I forgot tender you can eat the damn gristle flavored meat ??“

“Extremely frustrated! I feel like I wasted my money. Instead of the small end I ordered, I received a center cut, which I do not enjoy. The meat was thick and tough, not what I expected. I'm curious about the return policy—is there a way to exchange it? If it wasn't already late on a Thursday night and if I lived closer, I'd consider taking it back. Lesson learned: always check your food before leaving.“

“I really want to gate keep this spot! The hours are until he sells our, which is usually by 4 p.m.! The ribs brisket and Mac & Cheese are my faves. However, I think if you order greens a corn muffin should be included. Staff, service, and cleanliness are excellent and consistent!“

“A friend and I dined in for lunch. One of our brisket sandwiches was a tad bit overdone. BUT, when Dominic asked about our food we told him and he GRACIOUSLY took our sandwich and replaced it along with fresh fries. Dominic was an outstanding server.THEN, Dominic told us dessert was on the house for my friend and me.THEN, when our bill came we were only charged for one sandwich and not both.THEN, Dominic brought the owner, Steve, to greet us and he was also very pleasant and apologetic.The overall experience was wonderful. Steve and Dominic were awesome! Dominic deserves a raise!“

“I use to live in evergreen park. But this wasn't a business when i lived there. Found out about this place on one of my visits home. They have got one of the best gyros. Plus they will pack it all separately if u are gonna travel 200 plus miles with it. To me its well worth the stop if u r in the area.“

“I visited Truth Ribz Restaurant on Saturday 5/27/2023 The food was good&they give you plenty of food &The Customer Service was greatI will return soon .The perch fish is Good &Chicken I’ve eaten there a few times before for the ribs. They Never disappoint .Thank you. Continue Blessings❤️“

“Kirk’s you have gained a new customer. My husband got a tip and chicken combo. I got a mini tip. My husband usually doesn’t allow eating in his car but we drove 30 minutes to get there based on the recommendation of his coworker. The food smelled so good I just had to taste it . One bite and it was over! We finished the mini tip before we made it to the highway . I opened up the chicken and tip combo. It was at that moment when we agreed let’s turn around and go back for more. We returned to purchase the bucket of rib tips. Barbecue is our favorite food. But it’s so hard to find good barbecue so we usually make our own. So glad we found kirks BBQ I hope they remain consistent.“

“I have eaten their twice on two separate occasions once for lunch and once for dinner. On both occasions the food was wonderful I had the hamburger and fries the first time and the brisket the second. Everything was cooked wonderfully and very delicious.The service is prompt and responsive very polite.Location is in the downtown area with street parking limited on site parking behind the restaurant.I well happily eat there again when I'm in the area.And for those concerned about it being a bar and grill there is a separate seating area with tables and chairs and some booths separate from the bar area and they have a kids menu so it is family-friendly.Con... It's an 1 hour drive to get there...Kid-friendliness: Dedicated kids menu along with a seating area that is separate from the bar area.“

“This is good place for bbq. I got burnt ends, cajun fries and corn bread. Burnt ends were tender and had a nice kick to it. Corn bread was moist and fries were nicely seasoned but a little overcooked. Was going to try their bread pudding but most of their items contain nuts which was unfortunate.“

“OMG was amazing. Called in a pick up was like i never heard of this place but the reviews and pics was on point. Ordered large2 ribtips, cabbage,mac cheese,yams,greens,potato salad. The food was all delicious. So mad im just finding out about a black owned soul food near me thats fire. Check it out everyone you gone feel like me.“

“I’ve had the jerk chicken and bbq and both are FYE. The food is consistently hot and fresh. I love the lunch specials which are filling and affordable. This is my go to spot for jerk and bbq. I just need them to get a bigger menu on display and work on that customer service but I love this place!“

“Stopped in and grabbed lunch on the way home from work, and let me tell you it was absolutely amazing! Staff was super friendly and helpful seeing it was my first time there. I ended up getting the two meats and two sides and it was absolutely delicious, I got the rib tips, pulled pork, Mac& cheese and green beans. Portions are huge and very filling. I will definitely be back again soon“

“Tried the jerk barbecue rib tips. I wasn't terribly fond of them but then I remembered they were JERK so I settled into the flavor. Next visit I tried the beef short ribs and they were very good with the sweet potatoes and the greens both also good. Last visit I tried the oxtails. They were incredible and I look forward to getting them again. The sweet potatoes were also delicious. However, this time the greens were extremely bland, but that won't stop me from going back.“

“Pork chops were seasoned very good, tender, as well as the rib tips, I give this place a thumbs up, and I definitely recommend you trying this place out, the gentleman that waited on me was super nice ?? very good customer service. Good food“

“we were at a wedding that had an after party that was changed at the last minute to this bar. Our bar tender Odette, was amazing. She handeled the whole party of 50+ with such grace and ease. The service at this bar is exceptional. Thank you for making the night fantastic for our group!“

“This is a pretty good bar. Every time I've been here the staff and patrons have all been nice. The bars seems to be clean. I haven't tired the food here yet, but when I do I'll update my review. If you want a cold beer, then it's not a bad place to come to.“

“Today 4/19/24 was our first time to have the food. It was so delicious. I hand the grilled polish, my husband had the brisket (he could not even finish the generous portion) thank you and the service was so welcoming. Will definitely go back!!!!“

“Waiting to place my order was very annoying & frustrating.While standing at"The ORDER HERE WINDOW", I noticed 3 things that will determine the basis of my review!#1. I noticed one employee and heard another in the background as I walked up to the window. ..The Lobby w/max cap. around 15 people held approx. 6 customers whom had already placed orders.The most visual worker kept "busy" going about his duties preparing and packaging orders.My 1st and foremost complaint:Lack of Attention or No Priority given at The Service Window! The Main Employee, (even as another Customer enters the Lobby) never looks up ? ? not even once. He doesn't acknowledge my Presence for over 5-mins. He literally ?? walks right past me twice ??‍♂️. I didn't feel that they cared one way or another The Preparation Table & Refreshment Preparation was adjacent to the Take Your Order Window and the Cashier area was to the right of where I was standing. So there's no reason for him not to notice me.“

“I was greeted with a smile and the young lady at the counter was very nice and patient with me as I reviewed the menu and made my choice. I ordered the large tips and wing combo I also ordered wings (10pcs). My food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time and was affordable.The food was delicious the ribs had a nice smoked taste to it the Bbq sauce was finger licking lip smacking good. The wings were seasoned well . For desert I had Carmel cake it was just how grandma’sAll round good service and foodI’m happy I choose Woo Woo’s“

“My first visit was on 4/26 @230p. I ordered the jerk tacos and mini turkey tips. I made the BEST decision! That jerk chicken taco was sooo flavorful, not too salty, with the perfect shell. I did not need that sauce. Mmm so delicious. The turkey tips were just as good! I never had turkey tips before, but after this, I will definitely have them again. Kudos to the chef! I just hope you maintain consistency in the quality, bc you just made a fan!“
