((Updated post)) Finally put some pics up because by the time I get home I’m ready to smash after the wait which is between 20 mins to over an hour. 1st of the month and weekends are usually the longest wait time.
I wish Jay’s had a way to order by phone or online directly with business.
Food: I’ve had just about everything on the menu with no disappointment. Tips are my favorite and I’ve had them way too many times.
Here’s a 1st of the month/weekend tip. Don’t go to them an hour and sometimes 2 hours before they close if you want a popular menu item because they’ll run out and you’ll be disappointed.
Best tips in Chicagoland and maybe Illinois in my opinion. Meaty, not tough, not fatty, very flavorful with sauce and without.

I ordered the v.i.p salad you only had a few shrimp left so you added extra chicken and steak and even gave me 3 dollars back. Excellent customer service btw. this is a Obama salad (chivken n steak) it’s very hearty the jerk sauce is a gradual heat medium hot with flavorful spices. The 3 shrimp are perfectly cooked the steak is tender the chicken is awesome. Perfect salad I saw a tik tok and came here username cousinnvinnie. Wow just wow

I have NEVER experienced service this ridiculous. I ordered ribs and egg rolls. They told me 45 minutes for the ribs — fine, I was willing to wait because the food used to be good. I come back AFTER that time plus an extra 20 minutes, and the ribs STILL aren’t ready. Seriously?!
Then I get home and taste the egg rolls… DISGUSTING. They were horrible. If you’re going to make people wait over an hour, the food better be worth it — but it wasn’t even close.
And let’s talk about the service. The ladies in the back have the nastiest attitudes every single time. Acting like customers are a bother when WE are the reason they even have a business. The disrespect is unreal.
This restaurant needs to get it together because the way they’re going, they won’t last long. Treat your customers better and have better time management!!!!

Food is definitely good but I can’t lie 1 hour wait for food is definitely too long ….. Need to add doordash, Uber Eats, or doordash

First time going. Got mini jerk ribs, I didn’t get jerk from the ribs, Tasted like a regular rib to me but they were tender and the sauce was good. Got a steak taco as well which was okay with a lil spice kick to it. And also a Obama egg roll which I believe is one of the popular items on the menu. Now the egg roll was a hit , it’s filled with steak, chicken, and peppers. I didn’t open the egg roll to get a picture cause it was gone , but you will like the egg rolls. I might go back and try the chicken and a philly. But if not it will be for egg roll. And the place is just standing area or you can wait in your car, but it was clean.

I heard about Jay’s Backyard BBQ from tiktok so I had to give them a try. I ordered the extra large rib tip with extra mildsauce and The Barack Obama Philly and I must say that shit was off the chain. That food was sooooooo good i had to smack my momma LOL… The food was perfectly seasoned with that jerk flavor. Now I’m not a fan of real spicy food but the combination of the jerk flavor with the mildsauce OH MY GOD!!!!
if you from out west in Chicago, the best rib joint was Wiley’s Chicken and Ribs. But after trying Jay’s Backyard, BBQ in my opinion
Jay’s backyard BBQ put Wiley’s Chicken and Ribs to sleep real talk you will not be disappointed….

I am writing to express my concern regarding the food portions provided. The portions were very small and skimpy and did not meet reasonable expectations. I am disappointed with the quality of service and ask that this be improved moving forward.

Ok…. tender, some had more smokey flavor then others. Also large will disappoint so ask to see it before you buy it. I purchase a XL or bucket for more then the 20 bucks they charge for an XL it’s definitely worth it. The sauce which I only tried the mild is amazing the fries OMG old school thick soft soaked in rib grease flavor drown them and mild sauce and you will be in heaven. I did the jerk egg roll and jerk chicken tips ( 2 years ago) wasn’t a fan but the ribs are AMAZING. 10 OUTTA 10 PEOPLE.. IF YOU LIKE JOES AND BENS PLEASE GO HERE ON YO NEXT RIB CRAVING YOU WONT REGRET IT I PROMISE

Worst first time experience ever the cashier told me she would give me a call when my order was done and she didn’t. Then when I came to get my 2 orders of rib tips she only charged me for 1. Never again!
