Customer Reviews
Visited this hot spot lasnite and enjoyed my take out. I ordered a mini turkey tip w/turkey link and fries. A side of macaroni n' cheese/ side of baked beans/ cornbread/ and a plain slice of cheesecake. Loved the atmosphere here open and spacious to say the least. It was pretty dope to see the robotic feature serving food. I really liked my tips and the sauce was on point. Mac n'cheese was super fulfilling and my beans were very flavorful my cornbread was nice and fluffy. My cheesecake was decent I wish I've would have gotten a larger piece for the price. Overall, great place to dine... I'll mos def be back and I do recommend this place!!
Went for a bday dinner. Escalator was broke going up. Food was not fresh, soul rolls were old, waiter was blah, drinks weren’t strong. The atmosphere was nice especially with the DJ it’s huge inside that was probably the best part. My rib tips were ok lots of fatty pieces, fries weren’t fresh. I give this place a 5/10. Not worth $120 for 2 people.
I know they better quit playing with this delicious food! Mannnn I'm telling you to check them out! Tips are meaty and actually grilled over charcoal. The turkey tips could use more sauce....but the way they show respect for them fries they lay underneath the meat....my gawwwd! If I was brave, I would have to smack my Momma over these greens! The spicy link was what I needed in my life! Only thing I did not want to try was the turkey link and hubby didn't like it! That doesn't even matter though, we BOTH give it 5 stars!
My sis and I came here last year for a special day got the ribs,chicken wings ,tips,links, soul rolls,greens and baked beans and the food was delicious which is why we decide to go back again for a special remembrance day and to make it yearly. However this time wasn't up to our expectations and a complete dive from what we had last time. This time we tried the jerk chicken dinner that I saw they added to their menu and that was delicious and decided to take our barbecue to go we felt there was no need to check our food before we left the bag was staple close, plus because it was so perfect last time felt no need to check. Boy was we wrong my ribs were burnt to a crisp,the tips were super tough couldn't eat none of it. We spent over $160 dollars and to have food that I couldnt eat was ver
We stopped in after seeing a few recommendations for this place online. Our server James was awesome, and really made the entire visit enjoyable. He tended to us very well and made sure we were happy throughout. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with an extra side of Mac n cheese, and my wife ordered the rib tips with Mac n cheese. Both were absolutely delicious, I liked that the bbq sauce wasn’t too sweet. Overall if I’m back in Chicago, I’m making it a point to come back and try more off the menu.
