“Very friendly staff. We had the PB&J Wings. omg sooo good.“

“First Timer: Came for the food, fell in love with the service! On a snowy cold night thanks for the warm service, and of course awesome barbecue!“

“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 ??“

“The restaurant was a bit too loud because we could not understand or hear everything that our waiter was trying to say to us. The service was excellent; he even bought a birthday dessert of my choosing, for me. The food was excellent, however, my wife was not impressed by the bbq ribs. There was not alot of meat on the bones.“

“Beautiful place with beautiful staff. Highly recommend marinated ribeye(number 14) and all dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious. Julie on staff was very kind and overall amazing experience. Highly recommended. Kimchi Fried rice and spicy chicken were also very good.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough great things! The food brought back memories of being with old friends from Seoul.Everything was incredible. I brought a coworker with me who was unfamiliar with S. Korea cuisine and she said it was the beat lunch she has had in a LONG time. Thank you for the great experience!“

“Lisa was great! She was taking all of the orders AND cooking all of the food too! The food was amazing and she even brought out some special bbq skewers that she made! Our first time there she made it so good, and we can’t wait to come eat there again! Thank you for great day!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Simply amazing and satisfying food!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The workers were friendly and their Matzo ball soup was delicious, it had the biggest matzo ball I have ever seen. The Turkey burger tasted verry juicy and delicious, I strongly recommend trying it. 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.“

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

“We had an excellent meal here last week. Appetizers were great…stuffed mushrooms and my steak and sweet potato were perfect. Service was very good even though they were busy. After a poor experience at Outback I’m so glad we went to the Longhorn Steakhouse.“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing!!“

“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“

“Very friendly staff. We had the PB&J Wings. omg sooo good.“

“My daughter and I traveled from DC to Chicago for a cheerleading competition. We decided to try Porky's... I am not making this up, hands down the best BBQ I've had in years. The combo sandwich with brisket and pork, is phenomenal. The Porkys Beans with brisket, left me speechless. Outstanding customer service to go along with the great taste. Honestly wish I lived in the area, so I could eat here more often.“

“It's so nice to be out at a restaurant! This location is poppen so be prepared to wait a lil bit. We always sit at the bar and Angela was busy! She was friendly and never stopped moving! Our shrimp was salty to me but my husband at it all.“

“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!“

“Delicious BBQ and Greek food! Friendly service, caring owners, great neighborhood place, been going to BBQ Pit since 1990 and it's always a treat! It's also great to go before or after a (an earlier) movie at Wayfarer! It's also fun running into your friends there!“

“Hands-down my favorite place to eat whenever I am not over 20 mins away I stop by to get a steak sandwich. I literally bought a charcoal grill and that's the only way I grill now is because of this place because that flavor that the charcoal gives nothing else compares. I don't know if any other place that uses a charcoal grill. It's a literally just steak on French bread no sauce no toppings and it's the best thing ever because of how they marinate it and grill it on a charcoal grill. The sauce they have on the table is the best sauce I've ever had I don't know how to make it but I want to know it goes amazing on the fries and I loaded up on the sandwich to the fries and coleslaw and salad are excellent as well. The jumbo fried shrimp are amazing Family owned Greek restaurant doing things the old-school way can't compare this place has been around for over 50 years I believe always a bunch of people I'm sure everything else is delicious too but I've just never not wanted their steak sandwich to try anything else and it's what I recommend for everyone you will not be disappointed. Warning, though you will not enjoy your steak sandwich. Anywhere else after you've tried one of theirs unfortunately, I found that out every other place disappoints after having one of these.“

“Always excellent, always delivered no problems whether its the yummy chicken or a stuffed pizza. Keep up the good work!“

“Today I went with family and friends to celebrate my birthday. It was a wonderful place to have AYCE KBBQ. We did their regular/basic AYCE which is $30 per head. The basic menu had lots of dishes including bulgogi, gizzards, cheesy corn, brisket, pork belly and loads other proteins! The service was good as usual with a call button on the table. I really like how they have side dishes and carbs out for us to grab ourselves since I like to grab my own banchan. They do have ice cream and fruit as well which is delicious after a big meat meal! The ambiance is great for small and large parties for KBBQ.“

“Came here on Sunday, March 3rd 2024. Service was great but a bit slow. The restrooms need to be deep cleaned. Super gross stuff on the sink, no hand soap available, toilet was dirty and bathroom floors felt a bit sticky. The food, however, is amazing. I see why people rave about it. Great quality and taste amazing! Just wish the bathrooms were cleaner!“

“Ok, so I've never had anything like this before. The food was really good!! Took about 30 min to make. So I know it's all fresh!! Very nice staff!! At first I was questioning the price but wow it's a lot of food lol. The only thing I'm gonna do the next time is ask for extra sauce. That stuff was awesome!! Remember everyone, this is a food establishment that cooks everything. I'd rather know I'm waiting for awhile to get great food then to get food that may get microwaved and givin to me in 10 min. I'll be back soon!!“

“Another great experience! Easy to order and pick up - everyone was happy with their food and left the table full. Leftovers and easy clean up made it perfect!!Dietary restrictions: Selections made it possible for everyone to find something they liked“

“Drove 35 minutes to eat here, but was skeptical about how good it would be. I left with a full carryout order of 1/2 chicken for tomorrow, after finishing a 1/2 order at dinner today! Absolutely delicious, and not to mention, very kind owners!“

“The food was really good but not excellent. The corn pudding lacked flavor. It was almost like damp cornbread mixed with corn kernels but no flavor. The pulled pork was good but almost cold when served. I'll definitely try it again because we went when they first opened, and it was a Monday.Kid-friendliness: Large open space as long as you don't let your kids run wild and they will have a good time.Wheelchair accessibility: It's all on one level , with easily accessible doors and parking.“

“delicious food, cozy place and friendly staff“

“First time at this location but have been to others in the past. It was a Tuesday and it was Ribs by The Piece, which was about $1.79/piece, but wanted to get a bit more so ordered their Two Meats Two Sides meal. My options were Turkey, Ribs, Hush Puppies, and Coleslaw. Don't sleep on the turkey - very good and juicy. Ribs were also good, fall-off-the-bone type. They piled on the hush puppies as well. The sauces on deck were also good, a bit peppery all across, though. I wouldn't mind coming back.“
