23 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hickory Hills

“The food is ? ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and the pork chop. Tried it all. Chop was tender a little dry. the sauce fixed it right up! the sauce is really good . It's thin vs. a thick sugar sauce. Good stuff!!! The pork chop is thick it's in the pick with the fork in the beans cup, and they offer a double chop. I'm definitely going back!!“

“My wife and I have never been to a Michelin star restaurant and now that we live in Chicago, we had plenty of options. For our second baby moon we decided to treat ourselves to an experience at El Ideas. The whole experience was amazing! The location is really unassuming and not in some pretentious building or area. It was such a laid back yet exquisite experience. Guests were allowed to wonder the space and take in the food preparation. You could ask questions of the chefs. It was really neat and nothing like I've ever experienced. Since there are a limited number of reservations the entire staff is really attune to guests needs. I have no complaints about any of the dishes. Some of the standout dishes were the shrimp dish which was an ode to the history of Chicago fried shrimp. The Swedish style meatball cooked in smoked beef tallow with gnocchi was so well balanced. The smoked duck bahn mi and smoke duck pho was amazing . The Lamb dish was out of this world! I'm still in awe of the vanilla shake and fries dessert. It was truly a work of art. The vanilla with the crunchy potato bits and potato and leak soup just worked. I could take one of those every day. This experience is definitely worth it! I hope to be back in the future!“

“Stopped in for carryout. Ordering was a bit confusing. We did try the brisket, and it was delicious. The sides were just OK (lots of rice, a few potatoes, garlic, some type of tomato salad, corn, and Cole slaw). They also give you lots of sauces. I would go back and dine in.“

“This was my 1st time there. I ordered a shredded bar b que pork sandwich; it was superb,moist and plentiful. I advise all pork lovers to visit this place. They had a huge variety of park favorites and also chicken corned beef and shrimpI will definitely watch there again. They get a "10" from me“

“It's the highest rated bbq restaurant in the area and there's definitely a reason for it. The food was cooked to absolute perfection and the service was great. I definitely want to come back soon and not continue driving past it all the time“

“Came here tonight for a networking event, and was blessed with more food than I thought I would receive, for the price that I paid. And it was sooo good! The service was friendly, patient and fun. The atmosphere was easy-going and fun. Especially, when it came time to play BINGO. I will be coming back again and again.Kid-friendliness: I brought my teen with me and she enjoyed winning a BINGO, and she said she liked the food.“

“A really great little place. My go-to for grilled burgers. If I had to say anything negative, maybe the sides of feta are a little small for the price. But I can always get that at the grocery store.It's somewhat greasy, good food when you have a taste for it.Dietary restrictions: I have a fish allergy, and I've never had a reaction from any of the food. So they do a good job keeping the fish/shrimp separate.“

“Great spot for in and out service! They offer fast service while still maintaining high quality eats. Burger stand ambiance with top quality food. I've ordered from here many times, and haven't found anything I didn't like. Some of my favorites are Philly cheesesteak and Philly chicken. Both are super yummy! Gyros, burgers, Italian beef, bbq beef, all delicious. Oh, don't forget the fries. I order mine well done and they nail it spot on every time. The pizza puffs RULE! That's it dear diners, check them out and enjoy.“

“Attended BBQ 101 presentation at Beach Ave. Juan and Chris, the owners, are very knowledgeable, and they both shared the style in which they prepare and cook for the restaurant. The conversation and interaction with all of us was informative and funny throughout. We were also served to sample the finished foods they were demonstrated. Along with the food, several beers and soft drinks were also available to sample. If you enjoy BBQ and smoking meats and poultry, I would highly recommend attending this event. You will come away with added knowledge of the art of preparation and smoking items for you and your family and friends to enjoy.“

“Horse Thief impressed me with its outstanding service and flavorful chicken salad. From warm greetings to attentive staff, every moment was enjoyable. The chicken salad was perfectly cooked and paired with fresh ingredients. A must-visit for anyone in the area! Beverly staple! Best in the neighborhood.“

“Went here for my birthday lunch. I had been hearing about the Parmesan crusted lamb chops. I also had the strawberry margarita and it was delicious and kinda strong. So the lamb chops was recommended to be cooked well. When they came out they were still pretty pink on the middle. I didn't send them back I just figured I'll put them in the airfryer when I get home. Well I wouldn't recommend that because they were cooked through by time I made it home but I don't feel like they worked up good. I will go try them again in the future. The cheesecake was amazing. I'll be back in the future to try them again.“

“The team of them made me smile after a very hard day working. I was at the brink of crying when the person answered the phone for my order. She was so nice and her boss heard I was having a tough day. He said, "Your order is going to be special, I promise." It was the BEST dinner. He said I needed some comfort food. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravyDELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Came for the rave reviews about their dim sum and they didn't disappoint. Food was hot, fresh, tasty, good portions and staff was very attentive. Really have to hand it to the chefs. Although decor is nice, they really should've spent more time or money in hiring quality painters and that includes the restrooms. It would make the place so much nicer for a place that is touting to be a high end cuisine. Been told it's been open for about 4-5 months and will definitely be back for lunch or dinner.“

“First time here, This place is Great!! A lot of items to choose from, very friendly staff and very clean environment. I had the chicken Marsala it was delicious also ordered ribs with fully loaded baked potato, pizza and nuggets, portions are generous… Definitely would recommend!!!“

“I can't say enough about this location it was absolutely phenomenal in every way possible and our bartender Mia was fantastic. Not only was she beautiful and very polite she took the time to talk with us and laugh, overall my cousin and I have decided that this will now become our new weekend hangout once a month just so we can order drinks and hang out with bartender Mia. Thanks for giving us a wonderful experience and the food was remarkable.“

“I really want to gate keep this spot! The hours are until he sells our, which is usually by 4 p.m.! The ribs brisket and Mac & Cheese are my faves. However, I think if you order greens a corn muffin should be included. Staff, service, and cleanliness are excellent and consistent!“

“We got a 16” pepperoni pizza and breaded zucchini. The total with tax and small tip was $33. Not bad and on par with other area pizza joints. This pizza was pretty good. Enough cheese and each slice had at least 1-2 pieces of pepperoni on it. The sauce was also pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like was the crust. Well it was don’t perfectly, it seems just a little chewy. But no where near enough where I wouldn’t get it again. I would recommend Duncan and Dada’s and would actually get the pizza again. My wife loves the breaded zucchini. The pieces were big, unlike other area places where it’s small pieces and all you get is breading. She said it’s her favorite breaded zucchini.We will definitely be back.Parking: Park in the front of the building I’m for easy access to pick up food. If you want to bowl, park in the back.“

“If you’re looking for fast food in this area, this is the place. I love the fries, gyros, burgers, ect.. i’ve been coming to this place for years. I enjoy visiting here every time I come. Paul & George do an excellent job running this place.“

“I use to live in evergreen park. But this wasn't a business when i lived there. Found out about this place on one of my visits home. They have got one of the best gyros. Plus they will pack it all separately if u are gonna travel 200 plus miles with it. To me its well worth the stop if u r in the area.“

“This is a pretty good bar. Every time I've been here the staff and patrons have all been nice. The bars seems to be clean. I haven't tired the food here yet, but when I do I'll update my review. If you want a cold beer, then it's not a bad place to come to.“

“this place is really good. BBQ with great smokiness and flavor. we come here often and love the brisket Chile, ribs, smoked turkey and of course those amazing burgers. last time I was there it was $5 Burger night and it's amazing that they can serve a great smoky burger on fresh roll with fries for this price. full bar with a good selection of beers“
