Amazing!! Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had! I got the 2 meat platter and my wife did too. Mine was pulled pork and brisket. Hers was pulled chicken and burnt ends. All of those are great choices, especially the pulled pork! You can’t go wrong with this one guys and gals! A+

One of the worst ribs i’ve ever had . You can barely bite ribs . Undercooked just awful. Wasted $70 on uber eats and even my dog doesnt want to eat it .

If I could eat here everyday I would. As a huge fan of the bbq sauce I needed to try their food! I was not upset. I ordered the triple B sandwich (brisket, pork butt, burnt ends) and a side of Mac and cheese. The flavors were intense and you can taste the smokiness. The Mac and cheese was delicious and I will be back again!

I had a full rack of ribs and a healthy serving of brisket. The food was excellent. Their sauce is my favorite. They do not have waiters/waitresses so you order your food at the register and have a seat. If you are on a low carb diet this is the place for you!

Pulled pork is legit. Got sides of Mac and fries and they were good. Pulled pork alone is five star.

This is a must try! I got the ultimate BBQ platter it was perfect for 2-3 people (depending how hungry you are). It came with 5 meats that included ribs, brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, and sausage 4 sides included 2 corn breads, small bowls of mac-n-cheese, baked beans, and creamed corn. Everything tasted amazing except for the white sauce on the pulled chicken it was too vinegary and tasted too much like mayonnaise to me. I just threw on some of the Sweet Baby Rays sweet and spicy sauce. I will most definitely come back to try more of the menu items. The staff was also extremely sweet and filled our drinks many times.

If you’ve ever had Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, you should stop by as this is his restaurant. I recommend the brisket and Alabama chicken.

I always stop by Ray’s when I’m in the windy city. Arrived about 5pm on Wednesday. No waiting. The staff was friendly, answered questions about the menu and recommended some good options for dinner. I had the 2 meat combo with burnt ends and sliced brisket. The new Orleans cream corn and slaw. It was an awesome and tasty dinner. Would recommend you stop by.

While nothing here was bad, it was a mixed bag. We got a little bit of everything and spent over $70 for lunch (only 2 people). Let me start by saying the brisket was super moist and the meat itself was fantastic. The sauce they put on it by default took away from the brisket and pulled pork flavor. The wings are grossly overpriced and nothing to brag about. Some of them were overcooked in the fryer and not much smoke flavor. The ribs were good but not a lot of smoke flavor either. We only had fries as a side and they were good. I wouldn’t go out of the way to come back here again but if I was already passing by I would probably stop for more brisket but tell them to hold the sauce. Good brisket doesn’t need any!

The smoky aroma and perfectly grilled meats are simply irresistible. From the tender ribs to the flavorful brisket, every dish is a BBQ lover’s dream come true.
