“Like many barbeque places I want good side orders . They need to improve a little on those. But that being said .there ribs are fabulous . Nice and flavorfully. They grill them before serving . I prefer no grilling just reheat and serve.
Will go there again.“

“If you come to Chicago, you need to find yiur way to Big Eds at 651 Lakehurst in Waukegan!!! This place stands on it's own 2 feet side by side with anyplace we've been in Fort Worth! Excellent brisket and pulled pork, and some of the best mashed potatoes and mac and cheese I've had outside of my own house!! Good stuff!“

“Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine? Yes, please! Great appetizers, a killer smoked meat burrito, and awesome service. Loved it!“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Fire rib tips, fire chicken, fire ribs🔥“

“If you understand BBQ-- REAL good BBQ takes time to smoke to a tender, juicy, pinky, perfect flavor. You need to have a great deal of patience and skill. Lee and Danita have that gift in their soul so you have to wait for all that goodness to be assembled for your dining experience. Sit and talk after placing your order be patient and you won't EVER be disappointed.“

“Service was impeccable and the food is sooo good. We ordered hangover soup, both squid and beef stone bowl bibimbap, ttokbokki, chicken fried rice, and the mandu. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and look forward to my next visit. :)“

“Hell yes! It’s absolutely delicious!“

“This is the second year we’ve gotten your Thanksgiving dinner, specifically the Son of a Feast for my husband and I. Easily 6+ servings. Absolutely phenomenal! There was not a single thing that I thought was “meh” and the green beans were amazing, much improved since last year. We will continue to get these holiday dinners as long as you offer them! Can’t wait for Christmas!“

“Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine? Yes, please! Great appetizers, a killer smoked meat burrito, and awesome service. Loved it!“

“Still nice but way more expensive and not enough personal attention that used to make this such a special place. Other than that, the place is packed and the food, service, and atmosphere were good. Drinks were spot on. It is very loud and that was an issue with our conversation. All in all, still doing a decent version of what they were at one time.
We used to go to the one on Ridge in Chicago in the 70’s - 90’s. That’s the one that set the standard for my family so maybe I’m jaded.“

“They catered a lunch for 15. The food was excellent and they’re great to work with. #iraeats.“

“Went there on 6/22/22. We ate outside and were pleased to have a musician playing on the patio. The food was excellent as was the service. Bring your appetite and still expect to take home leftovers. Classic menu of steaks, chops, sandwiches and top notch BBQ. This will be a mainstay for us moving forward. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“Everything was perfect!“

“flew in from NC for vacation and i seen this place with good reviews so i decided to come and try the food out . Definitely recommend prices are fair considering how fresh the food is and how great service the service is . the owner works front of the store and he took very good care of us even gave us free candy . if i ever come back to illinois i’ll definitely be back“

“Best breakfast food to dine in and has wonderful service . Love going to Monica’s Diner.“

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“

“Great food the gyros was amazing I think the New owner is doing a great job taking care the place“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“Blue House Korean BBQ delivered an excellent meal from start to finish. My absolute favorite was the Kimchi Pajun Spicy—a perfectly fried kimchi pancake served with a flavorful soy dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside, packed with bold flavor inside—truly a standout dish.

The overall dining experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the call button at the table, which made it easy to request assistance without interrupting our conversation or meal.

One clever detail I loved: napkins were conveniently stored on the ledge by the table, so we could grab more whenever we needed—no need to ask!

Great food, great service, and thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend!“

“great place to eat, very good service and very large portions. loved it here“

“from out of town and stopped on a whim. Def a good idea! Burgers were hand pressed, fresh cut fries and could tell oil was fresh so fries were excellent, shake had chocolate syrup drizzled on inside if glass- nice touch! will def stop again if in area.“
