50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Morton Grove

“Good food! We tried few varieties and everything tasted really well. Owner is a nice person too. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for Mediterranean food. Space is a bit tight but they compensate that with good service.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“In order to get better Chinese BBQ at Chinatown prices you have to drive to Chinatown ??‍♂️. Specifically now the Kennedy expressway is under construction, Jason is it.The lunch plates with a little vegetable, some basic soup and a BBQ meat is about &10-$12. It isn’t a good value anymore. Tasty but not a good deal.Carry out only.“

“*Grilled tripe that is more Korean than Korea*This is a tripe lover who traveled to the United States. I've been to many places including Wangsimni and Sinchon, so I honestly thought I wouldn't be impressed.But the tripe here is fresher and more plentiful than in Korea. If you think about it, it’s obvious, right? Meat is very cheap in America haha.Oh, the fried rice is also really big..I ate tripe, but I can’t resist ordering fried rice, right? I was so full that I tried to take it out, but it was so delicious that I ate it all.If you go to Chicago, you must eat it.. Really..“

“Great food and interesting menu to say the least. 10/10 would eat and drink again!“

“Went to Offset on a snowy Wednesday night. The staff were so kind and the food was great! A friend has a gluten allergy and our server was really accommodating and noted it for the chef without us asking. Highly recommend!“

“I had a mistake on my order and I called the staff was amazing . I just wanted my food but they went above and beyond and made it all right the food is great You can go there and be assured your getting good food and service“

“We discovered this authentic Japanese style Korean BBQ restaurant over 30 years ago. The husband wife team make sure you enjoy your food. The chef is a highly trained Japanese chef and his skills are reflected in the exceptional quality meat choices, appetizers and soups. You could just order appetizers and be delighted but the meats are the highlight for their delicious marinades and seasonings. Real charcoal made of specialty hardwoods give the meats that unique smoky flavor. The prices will reflect the careful attention to quality and is well worth it in my opinion of 30 years of enjoying my favorite BBQ place. This is a one of a kind experience. The reason there are so many baseball photos and memorabilia in the restaurant is because this restaurant has been a favorite of every Japanese baseball player in Chicago and around the country and the owners are huge fans of baseball. This restaurant is famous in Japan when visiting Chicago.Parking: Easy street parkingKid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant. I've been bringing my kids since they were babies“

“Amazing food and fast!! My friends and I really enjoyed dinner at Sun Wah!!“

“The food was FIRE!!! ? I had the 6pc grilled bbq sauce chicken wings with fries and a Mountain Dew! It came out in 5 minutes and I was very satisfied. $13.50 it was amazing. Super flavorful, fries were seasoned and crispy! Chicken was full of flavor and well cooked perfectly. It came with ranch which I think is homemade! But it was all 10/10. I’ve been a huge fan of other wing places but this straight up trashes them! I’ll be coming here for now on! I can’t wait to come here again! If you’re dieting but want a good cheat meal this is it… You can get a 1/4 chicken grilled with rice and green beans. It’s great ??“

“I rarely write reviews but after our meal from Cluckers, I felt I must. Our first time getting food from Cluckers/Wilmette and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The first impression was the very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely to deal with! Then the meal...no fast food flavors here, it tasted more like homemade! Every aspect of our dinner was delicious: chicken, cornbread muffins, slaw and Caesar salad. No doubt we will be back to try something else!“

“Absolutely delicious. I went on a Sunday morning so there was a bit of a wait (roughly 15 minutes), but it was so worth it! I chose the vodka sauce, basil and Parmesan bialy and the labneh cheesecake danish. Both were to die for and I will definitely be returning!“

“Best food ever and service love“

“Fantastic food! Service was super good and the food came out insanely fast even though they were completely packed full of people. Definitely recommend this place. There will most definitely be a wait as they don't take reservations and it's first come first serve but we'll worth the wait.“

“Food was delicious & service was great especially the fact that they were really busy.“

“I've been to many Korean BBQ's within the states and I have to say this was the best customer service we received. This place is pricey for the small portions you get. I'd definitely come back for the service tho.“

“Truly a hidden gem! You must give aloha eats a try. The food is amazing once you have the first bite you will want to order more. I will say get the pork Katsu and have them serve you less rice and it will be even better. And the gravy is legit worth it!“

“5 of us got our requested booth which is always comfortable and allows for easy conversation. The new Burger was very good with grilled onions and thousand island dressing and generous portion of french fries. Shared the excellent Caesar Salad with the requested side anchovies. Shared the wonderful Apple Streudel which was generous enough for 5.“

“amazing food and great service“

“The service was prompt and the meal was excellent. We got the Chicken Korma and tried Goat for the first time. Extremely flavorful!“

“It was our first time here, we were celebrating our 25th anniversary. The wait was not bad, even without reservations. The atmosphere was so relaxing and comfortable that it felt like home. The servers were friendly and very helpful. The food... oh my goodness... it was so delicious and delightful, you really have to try it. This place is nestled away in Northbrook, but is easy to get to. Trust me, try this place!“

“Fun time, friendly staff and fun patrons“

“As a threshold, the menu is good. Good mix of crowd. Service is as fast or slow as you want. Happy Hour is fun. Very family-friendly but not to the point one without children would want to avoid. Kids eat free 4-6 every day. They have step stools in the bathroom for kids to reach a sink. Skillet cookie dessert is a hit with wife and daughter.“

“Zack is the best server. I promise his energy everything when u go request him u won't regret it My family favorite spot for now on. Customer Service was impeccable food was delicious. The Bread ? Wes sooooo good. Definitely return for more ❤️ ? ? ❣️ ? ? ❤️ ? ? ❣️“

“It's pretty much impossible to say that this is the best I've had all day.“

“Best barbecue in the land… little drive from the city but we’ll worth it… flavor and portion nobody can compare“

“I lived in Chicago for 20 years, starting in December of 2000. My friend lived nearby, on Clark and Byron which was two blocks away. This was the first bar I went to when I arrived. Neighborhood joint, but also good enough for people to make it a destination spot to visit. The Southport corridor has changed so much over the past two decades...bars and restaurants coming and going, upscale retail buildings replacing old one story strip malls. But Toons has endured and also thrived. I never lived in a big city before, and it was a crazy experience. I first lived near Lake Michigan on Sheridan- but still came up to Lakeview to play pool and for the first time I saw an indoor shuffle puck game in a bar. The freezer where they keep the popular liquors cold for shots is the same. Reminds me of my childhood and now is covered in stickers and decorations where you cannot find one open millimeter. It felt like nothing has changed since that night just under 23 years ago. My friend Sean now has worked here for almost 3 years now, and I disclose that while stating that he didn't when I first visited so that this is a genuine review of this place. Ally was also friendly, professional and easy to chat with. The entire team looked out for me, Tyler asking if I needed any utensils, extra items, refills- I never needed to ask for anything whatsoever. Laney was also super friendly, turns out we have a couple mutual friends. I'm in town visiting as many friends as I can, while helping my good buddy promote his new tequila line by making introductions- and decided to come by here and get something to eat before going back to my hotel for the night. It's 8 PM and the bar is busy but I was told "it's a slow night" I miss Chicago. Tonight on special was Annie's famous Wisconsin beer cheese soup. Sold! Got a bowl and it came piping hot, hearty with veggies and potatoes and a hot roll that I broke up like mini croutons and devoured it. By the time I remembered to take a photo it was almost gone so I am sorry for that photo heh heh. The food coming out of the kitchen is flying out at an incredible pace. I could watch this all evening. I ordered the popcorn shrimp and asked to sub out the fries with tater tots. Look at the photo below! These are not your ordinary popcorn shrimp. These are essentially actual shrimp (tail free!) and comes with Buffalo sauce and homemade Blue cheese dressing and some truly tasty pickle chips for a relief from all the fried items. I'm really happy to take a trip down memory lane and had an amazing meal while catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a while. Also bumped into some folks I knew from when I lived here- just another part of the amazing place and experience that is Toons. Support small owned businesses! Come on by, eat some great food, and have a few drinks and make some lifelong friends. Thanks to the team here at Toons for making a guy who came alone to eat feel like a part of the family/team dynamic. I gotta give my bud Sean a shout out for introducing me to everyone. Now I'm feeling the food coma coming on so I'm off to my hotel for some much needed sleep!“

“Smitty's ale house is at the location of the old stores, the spirits bar not the strip club. They really did not change much from the outside. The new owners updated the bathrooms, looks like they expanded the kitchen and removed the dj booth. All probably good moves, based off of the history. The aaa staff was nice and engaging. The crowd for a bears Sunday was a lot lighter than the places previously iteration . That may be due to the bears sucking this year though. There was also less staff but enough for the limited crowd. For an ale works they had pretty standard beers on tap. Looked like only one rotating tap out of the 10 on the taps. Not a very deep option for beer needs. I do think any bar named Smitty's should have guineas on tap . I had the steak quesadillas. They were solid bar food. Overall thisplace is worth the stop but needs a bit more to stand out.“

“Chicken Inn has the best Broasted Chicken. I have been going there for years. Staff friendly and helpful. They have ribs and shrimp and all of them are good. They have great sides as well.“

“We enjoyed dinner after a concert at the Winnetka Chapel. We enjoy sitting at the bar for quick service so we did and Raphael was our server. He was so nice and attentive. I had a delicious Blackberry and Bourbon cocktail to start while Craig had a craft beer. Lots to choose from for dinner! I wanted something light so chose the Beet and chicken salad. It had a light dressing on really fresh greens and freshly roasted beets and mandarin oranges. Craigs salad was Ahi Tuma on greens. I loved the marinade and intense freshness of his salad. Both salads had tender protein and very fresh greens. We loved the ambience and the personal attention. The staff all said good night as we left. If you want to watch soccer, the bar will accommodate.“

“Excelente servicio y atención muy rápida.“

“They have the most delicious freshly made food and quality cuts of meat. I miss stopping by on Sundays on my way home from church.“

“I almost don't want to write a review because it's my hidden, cool spot! This is an amazing location, especially when it's warm and you can sit outside, to get some incredible food (this is some of the best barbeque you've ever had - no exaggeration, and I'm notoriously critical about food things) and enjoy feeling like you're in nature without having to leave the city.Give Soul and Smoke some love and all the dollars. But make sure Rockwell on the River doesn't get too crowded now that I've shared my secret. Deal?* Also I totally crave their BBQ enough that I'll trek over here just for takeout too.Parking: You can usually park really close by on the street. At most I've parked about half a block away.“

“Was looking forward to a great steak after a long day of traveling only to be turned away because we didn't have proof of vaccine cards with us!! What a joke! Will never return to this establishment!“

“It was our first time there and we had a great experience. Food was delicious. Service was great and friendly staff. Everything is made fresh to order including their ginger green tea and cherry pomade.“

“Great clean restaurant! I've been coming here for years and they're consistent... food, service, cleanliness. Food tastes fresh and is offered quickly. I often order the gyro dinner but the Greek chicken is legit! There's easy and plenty parking. Staff is very attentive and ALWAYS cleaning the tables/ floors/ bathrooms, etc. If you're in the area, you can count on a great meal and time at Dengeos.Parking: Large safe and well lit lot.“

“Lucky Dorr is a hidden gem in Wrigley! I love going in for a couple beers and meeting fellow neighbors or introducing friends to the amazing staff, fantastic beer selection, and extremely dog friendly space!The beer list is all craft and local, which is hard to find in the land of Bud and Miller sponsored bars. (Don't get me wrong, there is a time and a place for a High Life or Old Style)This evening I drank 2 of their collaboration beers and one returning favorite, which were delicious. I'm looking forward to visiting Kyle and the team while trying the rest of the tap list to find my favorites throughout the season!“

“It's been too long, Gale Street Inn! We missed the mouth-watering ribs, the classic cocktails, the skilled staff. Well, last night we finally made it back, along with couple friends visiting from Germany, and boy, you did no disappoint! Our friends were duly impressed with the classy supper-club-like atmosphere (we had to explain "supper club"), the size and flavor of the succulent ribs, the melt-in-your-mouth salmon, and a small, but well-curated beer selection. Just as delightful as we remembered. Thank you, George and Staff. We look forward to shortening the gaps between our visits.“

“I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant was very clean. The service was quick. The food was very good. The soup was absolutely delicious. There are plenty of options on the menu, including gluten-free. Full service bar available as well. The menu pricing was very good.“

“Waiter was great and friendly ! Food was great and prompt ! The peanut butter pie was to die for !“

“Food: I love their pancake! The portion was definitely bigger than the ones we get out of state. It tastes really good too. Also ordered the steamed dumplings - definitely not disappointed at all Service: Staff was attentive and food was delivered at a reasonable time. Ambiance: Clean and great for big groups.“

“I have been going to Hofherr Meat since they opened their doors 10 years ago and I can tell you that this is the best source of top quality meat in the Northern suburbs. Arielle, Sean and their team are always professional, accommodating and go out of their way for their customers every day. Whether it is the Beef, Pork, poultry, In-house made sausages...they just do everything well.They will source pretty much anything if you give them a little notice. Congratulations to Hofherr meat on your 10 years in business and i look forward to the next 10 as well! Cheers! I highly recommend Hofherr!“

“Amazing place and the people there are awesome“

The biryani was super tasty. I would definitely upgrade the furniture and ambiance of the restaurant. The service is great. There fried chicken is good!!“

The food was very filling and at a good price, I loved the experience and I will definitely come again.Parking: There is free parking right outside the BBQ, it is easily accessible.Kid-friendliness: The workers were nice to kids and were really friendly in general.“

“I came here for an event and had breakfast. I chose the brisket benedict. The breakfast was served as two benedicts over chopped brisket and English muffins. Served with a side of breakfast potatoes. Outstanding meal, and a generous portion. The atmosphere was very inviting and open. Wait staff were very accommodating and made sure our drinks were full. I will for sure be back next time I'm in the area“

“I had the pleasure of sampling several smokey delights from Goodstuff Eats last night. These smoked meats are probably the BEST I've ever tasted. From ribs to brisket, pork belly to sweet potato, everything was dynamite. And enhanced with the homemade bbq sauces, this was such a treat. Gus puts so much love and effort into the meats he prepares, you owe it to yourself to try this place. I live about 45 minutes from Goodstuff Eats, and I will definitely be back for these smokey treats!“

“Love their Margaritas so yummy“
