22 Best Barbeque Restaurants near West Chicago

“The food and service were excellent. Only Cubs game on every tv. Asked about White Sox game or other baseball game and was told no. Very few tables in dining area taken so one tv with a game other then the Cubs would have been nice. Just not good business.Wheelchair accessibility: Had no trouble with wheelchair at a table.“

“I was recommended this place by my coworkers and this is honestly the best chicken I’ve ever had at a restaurant in many many many years. Food is cheap, atmosphere is friendly, owner is super nice, they even have a selection of mild to spicy sauces that’s huge and some of them they even made themselves. That Yummi sauce sure is Yummy. Give this place a shot you won’t be disappointed.“

“This was me and my husband first visit this evening. After driving over 45 minutes, we learn.They had ran out of barbecue ribs That was my main reason because I searched over the website trying to find the best ribs But after looking over the menu I decided to just grab a pool pork sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. My husband decided to do the chicken sandwich. O, m, g, we were not disappointed even though. Management, Mr. Adam saw the frustration on my face, to my surprise. He came over to the table because he found a 1/2 slab of ribs. Oh my God, they were so delicious. Let's not forget before that. He came over with some delicious sweet potato pie. Oh my God, that was really delicious. I am not kidding you. I was not only surprised to learn that they honor all soldiers on the wall. So he was very honored to ask me to bring a photo of my son because I am a God Star mom. I definitely will be back me and my husband and I will actually share the restaurant with my family and closest friends.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Honestly, BBQ is not my favorite. It is usually messy, overcooked, low quality meat covered with sauce to over power the lack of natural flavor. I was taken a back by how good DAMO was. DAMN, the food blew my mind actually. Our band Ginger Road went by after a show and were treated with an absolute feast of flavor. The brisket and ribs were the best this guy ever had. I told a bunch of people and they all raved about the pulled pork and chicken too.Maggie and Dan were fantastic and added to the experience. I recommend them for your event. You will not be disappointed!“

“Nickys is a quintessential Greek/Chicago fast food type joint. Everything I have had here always meets my craving. Whether it's a juicy Gyro (chicken Gyro is ? too), Chicago Dog, crispy fries, greek potatoes, greek chicken meal, you name it. It's all good! The indoor seating is basic and mostly uninviting and what you would expect of a fast food, quick-bite type joint but I don't go here for the ambiance, I go for the food. I had the pleasure of walking in for the first time since I normally get it delivered or my wife picks it up on her way home, and the service was top-notch. Extremely friendly, service-oriented, and quick. My ratings are weighted heavily on food first, but good service can always elevate a place for me. Nicky's is a great example of a no-frills spot with great food and service and is a regular place in my rotation.“

“Good food and good service. I had the Barnhouse burger - which is a 1/3 lb burger patty topped with pulled pork and a cheese curd patty on a brioche bun. The pretzel bites and beer cheese were also great! Definitely feels like a slice of Wisconsin in downtown St. Charles.“

“We had BBQ on wheels cater my wedding on 9/23/23. The food was absolutely outstanding! Everyone was complimenting it. It was the most hands free easy going catering service I have ever worked with. We did the pig roast with the Oktoberfest menu and holy moly was that food good! They came on time, set everything up, food was out right on time, packed all the leftovers and cleaned up. I had about 110 people there and there was so much food leftover for my guests to take home. Communication was on point and anytime I had a question or needed to change something, they responded right away. I will definitely be using them again when I need catering next!“

“This is a hole in the wall you would probably skip based on the appearance. We dropped in late in the afternoon, having never tried the place because it doesn't look like anything to speak of. (Ironically it's next to an amazing divey Mexican take out restaurant.) And that said, I would not dine-in at either place, but if you are looking for take-out, it's a good choice. We had a final-4 game to get home and watch, so we didn't want to wait long enough to try the runs, but John served up some pulled pork and slaw lickety split. And we were very happily surprised. The food was very good.“

“Outstanding honestly. The shawarma was very flavorful and was done just really well. Service was slow but the kindness and quality made up for it. Atmosphere was chill as well. Overall one of the better shawarmas I’ve hadDietary restrictions: Halal!?“

“This is lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal. Our waiter, Paul, was so kind! His service was impressive. This was our first experience with Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ. The food was amazing. When we return, we will ask for Paul!“

“Starting with the potato leek soup, wow, the smoke flavor in this soup really elevated it to a new level. Then the burnt ends served over BBQ potato chips, it was a double good combination. (Pro tip: the chips that soak up the burnt ends drippings are dynamite. Finished of the night with the cowboy Reuben... Seriously good “

“The staff was awesome and helpful! It was one of the most fun Birthdays I have had in years!“

“We ordered the burnt ends with pit beans and corn bread, and the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. The order was ready for pickup on time. and stayed hot while we drove home, about 20 mins. These meats were sooooo tender (which is high on my for good BBQ) and tasty. My partner liked his sides too, and the sweet potato fries were also pretty good. We both agreed that we want to come back when we're ready for BBQ again. 5 amazing stars for the meats. 4 stars for the sides.“

“Great BBQ the sauce, the tender juicy meat, and they had strawberry soda. They killed it today. I even bought another half rack to take home for later….. sooooooo goooooood“

“The ribs are a given.. always great… the chicken oreganato is spectacular“

“Literally everything we tried from there was amazing!!! The sweet potato fries, the fried pickles, the wings, the ribs, the pulled pork, thr beans, corn bread and desserts....everything was phenomenal. Really impressed some of the best quality bbq I've had in a long time! I loved it and highly recommend. They accommodated my party of 9 quickly and we were all super pleased with everything we got!!!!“

“The roast duck, with its skin so impossibly crisp, it shatters like glass under the slightest pressure, revealing the succulent, spice-infused meat beneath. Dipped in a sweet plum sauce, a piece of Cantonese heritage on a plate. Then comes the char siu, that iconic Cantonese barbecue pork, its edges charred to perfection, the meat tender, almost sinful in its juiciness. The marinade, a complex blend of honey, soy, and fermented tofu, clings to each slice, a sticky alchemy of Cantonese cooking. It’s sweet, savory, and utterly addictive, the kind of dish that haunts your dreams, compelling you to return. The Cantonese oil chicken, a masterpiece of simplicity. Poached in a master stock that’s a closely guarded secret, the chicken is impossibly tender, its skin silky, almost translucent. Served with a side of ginger scallion oil, it’s a dish that balances the richness of the meat with the brightness of fresh herbs, the simplest flavors are the most profound. Sitting here, chopsticks in hand, surrounded by the clatter of plates and the murmur of satisfied diners, I'm struck by the depth of flavor, the craftsmanship, and the sheer joy that is Cantonese barbecue. It's an experience, a journey through the heart of Cantonese culture, and one that I'd walk a thousand miles to taste again.“

“Visited here 3 times this year for the iftar buffet. It's was a very good experience all 3 times, mashallah. But I was a little disappointed in my 3rd visit. There were no vegetarian options in your buffet menu. I had a person with me who was a vegetarian and could not eat anything except your raita with fried rice. I would like to request the management to please have a couple of vegetarian options available in your buffet daily. Apart from that pleasant atmosphere friendly staff.“

“Great service and food is delicious“

“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!!“

“Authentic Venezuelan food. Very kind staff.As of right now, on the weekends there’s carne en Vara (traditional Venezuelan grilled meat) which is also delicious. Call in advance to make sure the carne en vara is available if that’s what you want to try.“
