I've been here a couple of times and every time the food was delicious. I love their 2 and 3 meat platters. I like their brisket and St. Louis ribs.

We went here for the first time and I absolutely love it! They have a variety of food and everything we ordered was delicious! Host and waitress was very friendly with great service. Drinks was awesome too! We will be going back this week :-)

We have always enjoyed dining at Sweet Baby Ray's, and it was a perfect choice for lunch today. (We moved out of the area three years ago, so it had been awhile.) Their meats and sides are all always delicious, and their BBQ sauce nicely complements the smoke of the meats. Their menu is also very reasonably priced, especially for the quantity and quality of food provided.

The food was more than delicious, and the service was by far one of the best I've ever had. If I could give more than 5 stars, I'd do that.The portion sizes were huge, and the prices were adequate. Next time we're in Illinois, we're definitely coming back!!Kind regards from the German couple :-)

Love the sauce no matter what...it took me 10 years of working in the area go actually done in at the restaurant. Food was disappointing overall. Service was decent. Tips were great however the St. Louis ribs were shockingly terrible. Burnt, little to no meat at all.. essentially served bones with bbq sauce. I was shocked it passed as a dinner. Won't be returning but I'll still gey the sauce

We found back bones and a leg bone in their shredded chicken. Their response was” it happens and you could take them out”. The offer to fix this was that they would buy me another pound of shredded chicken. I purchased 2lbs and no one wanted to eat it.I don’t think their offer is reasonable.

My wife and I really love this place. The food is really good and so are the portions. I also love their bbq sauce.

This place is 5 minutes from my office. My co-worker was raving about it so I figured I'd give it a try because I love a good BBQ restaurant. I don't know what they thought was good about this place. The atmosphere is old and dated, they desperately need to update the place. The service was sub par at best. It took 5 minutes for a hostess to even approach me. I was by myself so I sat at the bar and the bartender was a total grouch and it seemed like doing her job was an inconvenience. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and mac & cheese. Food came out extremely quickly which should've been the first red flag. The bun was hard, the meat tasted microwaved, the only real flavor to it was the BBQ sauce. The fries were fresh out of a frozen bag. The mac & cheese tasted like it was microwaved and had some bread crumbs thrown on top. I also tried the banana pudding which tasted like it had been sitting for a couple weeks. In total I spent $25 with a tip and it was a waste of $25. I wouldn't come back to this place. Gotta find a local bbq joint and forget this chain.
