I first visited Hell’s BBQ a few years ago when they initially opened, and at that time, I wasn’t impressed. However, I always try to give new businesses grace—especially in areas where good barbecue options are limited—so I decided to give them time to work out the kinks.
Fast-forward a few years, and I returned today (Sunday). They close at 3:00 PM, and we arrived around 2:00 PM. I was glad to see they still had their full menu available so close to closing time.
We ordered rib tips, chicken tips, a brisket sandwich, and Mac and cheese. It was about a 10 min wait and at the proper temperature, which I really appreciated. The food itself was solid and a noticeable improvement from my first visit, enough to say I was genuinely pleased with this return.
The one area that still needs work is customer service. While the gentleman I assume is the chef came out to chop the meats, the overall energy from the front staff felt low. The cashiers/prep staff didn’t seem happy to be there, and that lack of warmth affected the vibe of the place. A little more enthusiasm and engagement would go a long way in elevating the overall experience.
That said, the food delivered this time around, and I’m glad I gave Hell’s BBQ another chance. With improved customer service, this spot could easily earn a higher rating on future visits.

This place is DEFINITELY worth a trip.
(Yes, I’m a fatty )
The brisket and mac & cheese were the only things I didn’t like, but literally everything else made up for it.
We went TWICE in a two-week span, during a snowstorm, which honestly turned out to be a great idea because it let us try almost everything.
Highlights:
• Lamb chops – AMAZING. Smokey, super tender, and even better with a little sauce for extra kick
• Oxtails – Unmatched flavor and tenderness. Huge softball-sized pieces like the ones I posted, with only about 5% fat. Absolute must-have.
• Candied yams – Really good, definitely grab them.
• Oxtail Philly – PACKED with oxtail meat… be warned, this will put you to sleep
• Sausages – Both are good, but the jalapeño & cheese sausage is the best one.
• Rio Roll (pizza-looking thing) – MUST HAVE. No skipping this.
• Loaded baked potato with brisket – Smash it down and mix everything so it’s all edible. Another must-try.
• Desserts – Banana pudding, caramel cheesecake, and red velvet cheesecake are all
• Mini tacos (new item) – Super tender meat with a nice smokey flavor.
Don’t judge us — we went twice
Worth every bite.
Ps the jerk ribs tips, chicken tips and fries are good forgot about those try them with the spicy sauce

The best BBQ you’ll find in the Chicagoland area. The owner Keith is an incredibly nice guy who clearly knows good food. Can’t recommend this spot and these people enough.
The only down side is you can’t get it everyday! Keep the brisket egg rolls, Texas Twinkies and beef ribs around!!!

Hell’s BBQ in Oswego, Illinois, is easily one of the best barbecue spots in the area. The place has a lively, energetic atmosphere that makes every visit feel like an event. The food is outstanding—smoky, flavorful, and cooked with real care, from the tender meats to the well-seasoned sides. Knowing it’s a military-owned business adds an extra layer of respect and pride to the experience. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, making you feel appreciated from the moment you walk in. Hell’s BBQ delivers great food, great energy, and great service, all in one memorable stop.

I tried Hell’s BBQ at Nightmare on Chicago St., they were very friendly. I thought the food had a lot of good flavor. Really enjoyed it. Really good BBQ sauces. I wish they were closer but hoping they come back to Nightmare on Chicago St next year!

Got the 3 meat plate and went with the pulled pork, brisket and smoked sausage. I loved all 3. Mac n cheese was solid as well, very thick and creamy! I preferred the spicy BBQ sauce over the regular. Would definitely return here. A lot of other things on the menu sounded good.

Cousin Vinny’s didn’t disappoint! The rib tips, wings, mac & cheese, and baked beans were all delicious. They even let us sample free pork tacos, one was al pastor, but I didn’t catch the name of the other. We also bought dessert: banana pudding and caramel cake. Both were delicious. Thank you for the excellent customer service!

Food was delicious and huge. Ribs pieces meat to bone ratio is outstanding lots of meat for $28 for a full slab is a steal. Chicken tips were tender and delicious. Nothing bad here all good will be back. Is good to say we had to save some of the food was too much to eat save the rest for later seconds.

I ordered the 3 meat trio, Brisket was cooked to perfection, smoked links were good, and pulled pork was great. (sides) Coleslaw was darn good, and Mac and cheese could have been a bit creamer potato salad just a bit too much mustard. I will definitely be back. The staff was great.

My family and I catered our smoked turkey from Hell’s BBQ for Thanksgiving. It was delicious, great smoked flavor and still very juicy. We had zero left over turkey after the family gathering. First time I have seen that.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating when ordering and scheduling pick up. I highly recommend supporting this local business.
