Highly recommend this place. Food was delicious and the folks behind the counter were super kind and accommodating. They let us try their sauces for reference. We got the Memphis which was a kind of a sweet bbq sauce, and the mild, which was a nice neutral user friendly sauce. We got a Med order of Brisket with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes with cornbread, and we got a large pulled pork order with spaghetti and red beans with Hawaiian rolls. We also got a 1/4 of fried okra! Everything was amazing!

Tonight was our first experience at Test Kitchen BBQ and while the menu is expansive and the staff was nice and friendly, the food was just ok. We ordered the Medium Turkey Plate ($11.99)with sides of Cole slaw and mashed potatoes and the Medium Brisket plate ($13.99) with sides of baked Mac n cheese and baked beans. We also ordered an extra small side of corn fritters.

I guess I’ve never had good BBQ until I tried this place. The brisket was absolutely amazing. Incredibly juicy and tender with just the right amount of smoke. Same with the rib tips. Very meaty and perfect even without any sauce. Do try the sauces though. They aren’t poured out of a bottle, their made from scratch. Not overly sweet and great flavor. Restaurant was very clean. Workers were super friendly. I’ll be a regular at this place for sure. Waukegan area is lucky to have this place!

Today I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant I’ve always been a big fan of barbecue. But let’s face it not all barbecue is good barbecue lol. The menu was great I couldn’t make a choice so I decided to get two dishes today. Pulled pork and a medium catfish dinner. The service was excellent and I gave three stars to the atmosphere because it looks as if they’re in the middle of renovations. So only the drive-thru is open being a truck driver I couldn’t get in the Drive-Thru but they were kind enough to let me inside. I would most definitely recommend this place.!!

Absolutely AMAZING FOOD! All smoked and cooked on premises! Bourbon sauce was to die for! The brisket fell apart. Will definitely drive the 45-60 minutes to eat here again

This is the best ribs place in town! I got the brisket, Mac n cheese, and potatoes. I was given rice and beans instead of potatoes. It was so delicious

I was working in the area and this place and decided to give it a try I even asked a guy that was leaving how was the food he said good… I wish I would have kept driving. First my food was not hot. I ordered the Brisket no flavor the corn fritters were good but again not hot and the mac and cheese ughh.. Maybe an off day but sorry I’m very disappointed. Positive cashier was pleasant.
