I hate giving 1 star reviews but this place earned it. First of all, the place is completely disorganized, they got all of our orders wrong. The meat was extremely dry and it doesn't come with enough sauce. The kids meals were a joke. The burnt ends were all fat. The brisket was so dry the person who ordered it couldn't even eat it.We ate at the restaurant and it isn't a restaurant. It's a carry out place for sure. The workers were highly annoyed with us for some reason.My young boys needed to go to the bathroom and apparently they don't have a bathroom. There are far better BBQ places in the area and I will not be returning. Just to say something positive they have a large selection of root beers.Parking: Good luck finding a parking spot.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all. The kids meals are trash and the inside is not setup for children at all. No high chairs.

Service good bbq flavor good , but the rib meat was not very high quality compared to Raymes in Lisle...dry and tough

Great ribs and chicken wings. However, asked for sauce on the side and as I was leaving confirmed if the sauce was in the bag and they said Absolutely! Got home, no sauce. So disappointed in their customer service. Note to all, CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

Went to have lunch at this bbq place that I have frequented throughout the years. And I haven't been there in awhile so I was excited to eat some pulled pork and brisket. Which I ordered 2 dinner for me and a co worker. The bill was $45 which is fine. But we wanted to dine in and so I made my way to the bathroom and was asked, "where are you going?" Which I replied to use the washroom and I was told by what seemed to me to be a owner or manager that the bathrooms are not for the public in a condescending manner. I was beside myself...meanwhile my coworker said that he needed to wash his hands as we were on lunch break. The blonde owner/manager then reluctantly gave us permission. Wow thanks for our patronage. She stood behind the counter with a resting b*tch face while we ate. I'll never go back! Absolutely ludicrous

They used to be the best BBQ around, but I went there today and ordered the ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled chicken, hot link and the brisket. The only halfway decent food was the burnt ends. I really don't think they smoke their meat anymore. None of the food had pink smoke rings, the ribs must've been boiled first, then finished in the smoker. The pulled pork had zero smoke flavor. I don't understand how a place that has so much smoke inside the store can have such flavorless bbq. What a shame. whoever decided to change the way they smoke their meats needs to be fired, and get back to their old methods.

Awesome bbq! Their sauces are absolutely delicious. The owner and workers were friendly.

Food was great, meat tender, portions generous. Wings were a nice size. Husband and I split the 3-meat platter and was satisfied. Good selection of sauces. Service was fast. We'll be back.
Great food! Brisket and burnt ends were perfect. Sauce was good, but not needed. Service was friendly and prompt. This is pretty much a take out place. They have a couple high-tops. Room for 7 or 8 ppl, but no more than that.

This is one of the best bbq places in Illinois and you don’t have to drive all the way to Chicago just to get some. The first time I had a triple meat combo platter with brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. I got mac bites and fried pickles as the sides. The fried pickles I found were a bit salty for my taste. The mac bites were delicious. The second time I had the burnt end sandwich with cornbread and each bite was very tender. I also ordered apple bourbon chicken wings and they were very flavorful. I had a sample of the rib tips and it was cooked to perfection.

I have been coming here for about six years now and it never disappoints. If you are looking for some mouthwatering BBQ - Steamboat BBQ is the place to go! The food here just melts in your mouth when you eat it - my personal favorite is go with the brisket and burnt ends - you cannot go wrong. The staff is always friendly and the restaurant smells heavenly with the scent of fresh BBQ.I also like that they give the option of purchasing larger portions of their barbeque sauces. My personal favorites are the butler's tribute and apple bourbon.The menu is a wide variety so there is defiantly a place where there is something for everyone.Parking: The restaurant is in a strip mall so there is ample parking spaces

do NOT buy gift cards. I tried to order online and just kept getting kicked out of my cart to re-order. Then went in store to order and was told they are not taking their own gift cards as payment. So have a $50 card that is good nowhere....

We really liked the brisket and burnt ends... One of the better options to choose from in the area. Appeared to be mainly a take out place, but there was limited seating. Enjoyed the old school soda pops!
