   Service was great but the ribs I ordered was something less than desired. The ribs were definitely overcooked at the top, while underneath was succulent and juicy from the skin. I wasn't a huge fan of the cornbread. I am more a sweet cornbread fan. The Pickles and potato chips were delicious though. I dug the southern vibes.

   Impresionante. Literalmente las costillas más ricas que he probado en mi vida, y he probado muchas 😉. Y nos atendieron de maravilla. No te lo puedes perder.

   Our bartender Eric was incredible - worked there for over 10 years and was so attentive + kind. Ambience here is awesome, food is even better, and the spots at the bar are cozy. Will be going back!!

   The St Louis Ribs were awesome! The shredded pork was also very good. The brisket was tough and dry. Good barbecue sauces.

   I had a really good experience dining here. It was my 3rd time eating there and my mom’s first time. We went for her birthday. She’s been wanting barbecue and I thought this would be a great place to go. It was slightly loud because there was an Irish fest I guess on the same street as the restaurant and there were a lot of people at the bar but we were in the main dining room, which was quieter. The brisket was great! The Mac and cheese….omg. One of the best restaurant Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The brisket meatballs and grits are soooo good. These are the only grits I eat. I normally don’t eat them, I don’t even like them, but there are good.

   Thank you for celebrating your mom’s birthday with us! We’re so happy to hear that you both had a great experience and that the brisket, mac and cheese, and brisket meatballs with grits hit the spot. It means a lot that our grits won you over! We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back for visit number four. The Chicago Q Team

    Although the food was absolutely phenomenal, the service was extremely slow impacting our night. We were there on a weeknight with minimal other tables and we couldn't understand why everything was taking so long. When the food did come it was the best BBQ we've eaten in the city but that did not make up for the lack of service. The front room also smelled of the nearby bathroom cleaners as soon as we walked in

    Dear Guest, Thank you for your honest feedback. While we’re thrilled you loved the BBQ, I’m sorry to hear the service was not up to par. That’s not the experience we want for our guests, and we’d love to learn more. Would you be so kind as to send an email to our team with the date/time of your visit as well as your name? We appreciate the chance to make things right. Best, Rob The Chicago Q Team
