Bill’s Grill Smokehouse in Calumet City is truly a gem! The food is packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, cooked with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The portion sizes are generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth.
On top of the great food, the family atmosphere makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. Everyone is warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
I’ll absolutely be back to support. Highly recommend it!

Was in Homewood after haircut thought I’d give this place a try before driving back to Joliet. Great sauce, excellent melt in your mouth turkey link, chicken chunks tender/tasty. Corn casserole good, mac n cheese needed just a bit more flavor but ok. Wish they had beef brisket during week will come back. Woman at counter was very nice.

I am a first time customer who was excited to try what looked good on the pictures. I ordered a $25 brisket and chicken plate. First, the chicken is absolutely NOT what is pictured. On the picture is grilled chicken breast. What I got was 6 piddly chicken wings, which I do not eat. This was not at all what I wanted. Highly disappointed at the false advertising. Second, as a brisket fan (yes, I travel the country for good brisket) this falls way short of the mark. It was chewy. I could not taste the smoke, there’s no pink smoke ring. There was lack of bark and flavor. Third, the sauce. It didn’t pair well with the meat. It was too thick, the flavor of it was not to my liking. This of course is a personal taste, others may enjoy the sauce. My family and I do travel around the country to try bbq. I’ve had some good and some not so good. I am not pleased with the meal and unfortunately I will not be back.
Continue to study and work on your smoked meats. Perhaps get a pitmaster mentor, enter some pitmaster competitions to expound on your craft. With time, effort, and practice you will get better. All the best to you.

I stopped by Bill’s Grill for the first time, and it definitely won’t be my last! The rib tips and chicken wings were both outstanding — perfectly seasoned, tender, and flavorful even without any sauce. You can tell the meat was cooked with care and expertise.
The mild and spicy sauces were both excellent, but the spicy sauce stole the show — it had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the flavor. Whether you like your food saucy or straight off the grill, Bill’s Grill delivers.
Make your way to Bill’s Grill in Calumet City — you won’t be disappointed!

The ribs tips are tender. And the smoked wings are decent. I have it 4 stars because the sauce wasn’t hitting. It has a little watery with a strong herbal taste of either sage or poultry seasoning. I would order from the again. I just wouldn’t get the sauce or order it on the side if it’s your first time trying it. Overall I’ll give them another shot, if they fix the sauce they’ll hit

I was really excited to try Bill’s Grill since I loved their food when they used to come to my job at Amazon. The turkey link is absolutely phenomenal—hands down the best thing on the menu. I’ve also tried the pork link, which was good overall but could be a bit spicier.
Unfortunately, I’ve had the ribs twice now, and both times they were dry and not very fresh-tasting. I even gave them a second chance thinking it might’ve been an off day, but the issue was the same. The smoked wings were also tough.
If I come back, it’ll be for the links only. I’m willing to try the weekend brisket, but I’m disappointed because their ribs used to be amazing.

Got the tip and chicken combo. Chicken was under seasoned as well as the tips. Everything tasted like ash tips were tough and there was a strange aftertaste of polish sausage. Waste of money. After I removed the tips and wings I realized that they owner must have wanted the sauce to do the heavy lifting. The fries were not salted. The sauce seemed to be vinegar based which left everything tasting unbalanced. This is not barbeque. I will just light up my grill the next time I want barbeque.
