Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. We went there for a birthday dinner. The drinks were delicious, we tried the Mexican candy shots, and margaritas. (Our waitress was so informative and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks). We recommend them both. We also had the chicken nachos, my favorite. The blackened salmon, to die for, and every guys favorite the BBQ combo platter with a little bit of everything. Love this spot we recommend it to anyone who wants great food and a good time

The Chew Crew tries Bub City BBQ in Parkway Bank Park, Rosemont, IL
Bub city had this amazing pull apart cinnamon bread. Crispy on the outside, fluffy layers on the inside, like a croissant with gooey not too sweet topping. Don’t skip out on this! Ribs. For a BBQ place, this better fall off the bone! It did not. Also, no BBQ sauces on the table? The server whispered to us that their grits were not good. Do not order them. Noted! They have a giant skillet pancake. Wow! Crisp and golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, topped with butter, served with hot syrup. Get it, share it! Chicken nachos had a lot going on! Chicken was done to perfect. A bit salty. Tator tots were done to perfect. Fried pickles were fire! Cornbread done right! Coffee martini I heard was delicious. Cute ambience with Christmas lights all over the ceiling. Has a very Nashville vibe. Indoor garage doors roll up for Joe’s street live concert days. 4 stars. We recommend!

I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and friendly service at Bub City Chicago—it’s a great spot for BBQ lovers and a fun night out. Most of the dishes were flavorful and well-prepared, and the overall experience was positive.
However, I did have an issue with the baby back ribs. They came out a bit dry and harder than expected, which was disappointing considering the restaurant’s reputation for great BBQ.
Still, the staff was accommodating, and the rest of the meal was solid. With a little improvement on rib quality, this place easily has 5-star potential. I’d definitely come back to try more of their menu!

Solid menu with plentiful options. We stopped in for lunch and were seated immediately, and our food came out quickly. Good sandwiches and sides. Attentive and friendly service. Parking is validated, so don’t panic at the $20 / 24 hours thing coming into the lot.

The atmosphere is fun and the service was great. I enjoyed the salmon and the salad. The beans and slaw maybe had to much sugar. The experience here was overall great and the live music is awesome.

We were here from out of town for a Dance convention. It was really close to our hotel. Decided to give it a try. Really great food, they sat us immediately on a busy Friday night. Fast service and loved the live music.

Food was delicious! I had the General Joe’s chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My husband had the Pitmaster Combo and it was also delicious, the perfect option to try a little bit of everything. My husband also tried the Whiskey We Love flight and really enjoyed it. Our server was great and the atmosphere was upbeat. We will definitely be back!

We ended up getting are food to go because we were tired. I ordered the beef brisket, baked beans, but we didn’t get are coleslaw or utensils so, I couldn’t eat them at the hotel. The food was ok. I probably won’t eat here again.

The 18-hour smoked brisket here is absolutely phenomenal — tender, juicy, and bursting with rich, smoky flavor.
On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed — the perfect place to enjoy great BBQ. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommended!
