The workers are very mean and unprofessional they don’t want to work should let someone who wants to work take there jobs

They never answer that phone!!

Nasty attitude from one of the young cashiers. I ended up getting a refund. Unprofessional, disrespectful, and simple.

Same experience Great food As a customer I will no tolerate the disrespect. I 57 management needs to take care of this matter or they will lose more than me as a customer

I'm at I-57 now and have been here for over half hour. Was unable to call order in due to not answering phone. Many angry people here about to get my money back and leave.

Good luck with getting your money back you may as well get ready to wait for that order and don't be mean because you have to trust them preparing your meal

Once I waited for 45 minutes I got the ribs they were very overcooked barely any sauce there were no napkins in the bag this was my first time at this place in my last I thought they were going to be way better than they were it's not worth the wait!

The service is slow and people rude and unprofessional

They start losing money then they have to look into what going on the food is good but the service is nasty I wont support them if that that way they treat us sorry no way

You are exactly right about that even though the food is good is expensive and the attitudes are bad

I got to restuarant at 1:30pm I left at 3:00. After asking for all the time I was there. They got my order from shelf where there were many bags. Then they give you attitude as if you're asking for something free. It's so ridiculous.

If it's so terrible why go! It's not the good service then it must be the good food. I'm just sayin.....

These people have nasty attitudes...Those cashiers are the worst...they never put all your stuff in the bag..People always screaming support black businesses for what to get disresped....

I totally understand what you're saying but I've never had that problem...

I can honestly say this place is so unorganized. I physically came up her 2 days ago to order a pan of rib tips paid for them and gave a specific pickup time. When I got up here my food was still not done I am currently still waiting over a hour. Wth

No matter what you're gonna wait, just be prepared...

Phone goes to voicemail not professional yet we wonder why....... Um hmmmmm

As I said before people, it's useless trying to phone a order in sometimes they answer sometimes they don't. It's better just going in and waiting...

This is my first time going and not only did the number not work it was going right to voicemail when you got it in the line was extremely long I waited over 45 minutes for a small rib plate the workers are very rude and unprofessional unorganized😥

They hung up on me when I tried to call, and when I called back they were really rude and disrespectful. Then I was in there forever to get two orders with a long line as well.

I actually like the one on Halsted way better then 115th they are beyond rude, and my food was so dry, and burnt was an understatement. Of course I didn’t get home until after they were already close cause I definitely would have taken that garbage they call bbq back. Not that they care but I’ll never go back to this location.

I’m only giving them 1 star because I can’t give them a 1/4 of a star! The tips were so burnt and dry they had to be a minimum of 3 days old. I’m really not sure what type of meat they made the links out of, but it certainly wasn’t Grade A USDA meat 🤔. NEVER AGAIN WILL I STEP FOOT ACROSS THEIR THRESHOLD FOR ANYTHING. How they remain in business is a mystery. BTW, the 1/4 star is for the sauce 😏

Sauce and fries were good. The part of the turkey tips that wasn't burnt was good, and i couldn't eat the links because they were burnt almost all the way thru. I wont be ordering from there again. When I called in i was told a 35 minute wait and i got there in 20 and my food was ready but it was cold.

Some times the ribs are good. Most of the time they are tough with an excessive amount of bbq sauce. Not worth it. It’s like a hit or miss.

We called in at 245 on 6/5/2020 we didnt get our order till 530. We had a pretty large or and the ribs were tough limited sauce on some of the orders and too much on others. It was a very bad experience. I understand that it's a difficult time but put out good produce.

I called in my order at 6pm, and was told on the phone a 30 minute wait. Arrived at 6:35pm and was told that they don’t make your order until you get here. Finally 6:50 comes around and my food is not ready. I asked for a refund they couldn’t provide me one. Also when I got home there was barely any food in both my containers. 40$ gone down the drain, I will never return here again

Took 2 hours from ordering to get a meal and even though I ordered no sauce on the fries the fries came with sauce. And the chicken wings apparently are not grilled but fried.

Good bbq sauce! However the turkey tips are a rip off. Don’t waste your money. They give you a bunch of turkey knuckles with barely any meat. Not worth the money. 🤦🏽‍♀️

EXTREMELY UPSET I called to place an order for pick up and when they picked up after my 5th try (the phone seemed offline) the employee had such an ugly attitude. It was my very first time so I had no clue what was on their menu and when asked what came with my order she tried putting me on hold. Didn’t give me no waiting time and hung up the phone. Their customer service is WACK. Sorry not sorry

I ordered a large (turkey) tip w/link combo for $25.. It Usually come with 2 (turkey) links as I prefer. They gave me (Pork) tips with 80%(fat) and 10% (bone) and 0 links, completely wrong!!? I didn't check the food right away and It was around closing so I waited until next day and stopped by to let them know. The manager said to bring the food back and I did. The manager (female) told me it was nothing she could do and yelled at me as well as talked over me. She saw the (pork) tips/nothing but fat and bones, and I don't eat pork/ fat and bones. I order the same (turkey) tip (w/link) combo every time I go to (I57). I came with (Respect) and wasn't really asking for her to fix it but to just (Acknowledge) this because it wasn't the first time. Now Im not sure if I'll ever spend my money there again or recommend it to anyone. I actually enjoyed their food until this day and hope they get better management at this place.

Had to share my amazing experience. Had ordered two Turkey Tip and link dinners around closing time the night before. Got home and the order was wrong, slightly disappointed because I couldn’t eat the meal, I decided to call the next day for a resolution. Without hesitation, the female manger (morning shift, forgot her name), listened to my issues and quickly resolved it. She actually went above and beyond to fix it. I’m very appreciative of my experience and would recommend them 10000%

When you need saucy fries, this is your place. The ordering set up leaves something to be desired. Don't wait until you're starving because there's always a good wait.Tips and chicken weren't the best. The wings needed seasoning and the tips were tough.

Please Read!! My first experience Here I ordered a turkey tip & link combo. I drove home to notice my link was Nathan’s hot dog skinny and when I bit into it it was black inside. Needless to say, I was upset. Today I decided to try them again after months later I ordered the same thing the tip & link combo. This time I checked before I left and my hot links were burnt and yet again Nathan’s hot dog skinny. I asked the manager or another order which they gladly replaced but then they forgot the sauce so I had to go back for that. For the prices and the wait time for this stuff you’ll think it’ll be right the first time, but no not at all. Don’t waste your time. Take the drive to somewhere else.

I wish I knew how much money this place loses in revenue by placing people on hold for over 5 minutes as soon as they try to call in an order. And that hold music is god awful. This is why people steer away from black businesses. The horrible customer service and taking the cheap way out by not having someone dedicated to taking phone orders. If you're soooooo busy, you can afford it.

The portions are very fair for the price and the food well seasoned. I strongly recommend calling ahead as there seems to be a 40-60 minute average wait for your order. Therefore I'm posting pictures of the entire menu for reference when calling. :)

This place was fast and courteous! My friend phone the order in first. We made it there maybe a tad bit early. Waited 5 min more, and soon after, we were out the door. The food was very delicious might I add. I've been here but not this location. Needless to say, I will be back. Thank you.

Ribs are very good. Buckets could use less oil in them. Ribs were swimming in it. Could use better time organizational strategies and or more help during busy times. The wait can be long. Window staff ppl could use some back- up during peak times. Could help in presenting a welcoming altitude to customers.

It seemed like your typical BBQ joint. So I ordered a tip and link, which is my usual order when ever I come to Chicago. Now I wonder when did they stop cutting up the links, I mean I didn't order a hot dog. Back in the day they sliced the link.The food itself was tasty and no place other than in Chicago do you get fries under your BBQ. Mmm good 😊
