My friends and I went here after finding it on social media. I ordered a platter and majority of it was inedible. The brisket was so dry and chewy I chewed the same bite for 2 minutes to no avail. The chicken was also unbearably dry. The coleslaw was moderately not bad but everything else including the ribs were just awful. Will never go again, honestly don’t even understand why they were even so full of customers as they were. One group of people was told they had to wait 45 min. That’s insane, this kitchen needs some serious help or the kitchen manager needs to be fired because as a cook that was insulting. Not to mention as soon as we left the facility my brother got violently ill in the car. Pictures below is all the food I couldn’t bare to stomach anymore and my friend’s that they couldn’teat either.
Ps- Ashley our server was fantastic and they better hang on to her because she’s the only good thing about that place sadly.

Stopped in for lunch after watching all the videos on TikTok will definitely be back in the summer with a family. Very unique place with a lot of history from CHICAGO. The food was great. Got the half a slab of ribs special. It was so good. I picked up another half to take home for the wife. The server was great. Stopped by a few times just to make sure everything was OK. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing food. Came here for the second time with my friend and she has guided me in the right direction. Food was good, portions are giant, and the atmosphere is very chill. The fries are on point and the ribs and pulled pork sandwich are a MUST! All of their desserts are top notch too. Enjoyed it and will be back for more.

The food was decent however the Fried pickles were kinda salty, French fries were good but seemed almost cooked too hard, Ribs were delicious, Shrimp were good. Greek Sausage and peppers were good the chopped pork was a little in the dry side and our BBQ chicken was some pieces were juicy and tender however the wing portion was too hard to eat and near bottom of chicken breast was dry the service and staff were great. We didn’t get to try the pork chop yet so our next time we will try it.

I came to this place years ago, so we just moved to Justice and while driving by I recognized the place.
My wife and I ordered a Greek Salad, and THE PIT PLATTER witch is was good enough for both.
Portions are big, but the flavor was AMAIZING!!!!
She had a couple drinks, and the BLOODY MARY was great, she also ordered a MARGARITA and wasn’t that bad.
The server was so nice, and always pending of our table. GREAT SERVICE.
We definitely coming back.

I kept seeing videos of this great place with awesome food, we happen to be in the area and decided to try it out. It was good but not the best. Service was nice but really slow, unfortunately brisket was gone when we were there so we didn’t get to try that, which was one of the main things we really wanted to try. The food was pretty good and at least came out it hot. The atmosphere was decorated really cool and had a fun vibe. Overall it was decent but I wouldn’t say it was the best BBQ place. Maybe we hit on a not so good night but I wasn’t impressed enough to purposely go there again.
Can’t give it more stars since we didn’t get to experience more and were stuck with basic options you can get anywhere.

My husband and I have been coming here for years! We have recommended them to many others and celebrated birthdays with our families on multiple occasions with parties of 20 plus people every time. Over time, we have seen the quality in service and food gradually decline.
A few days ago, I ordered two full slabs and an order of fried pickles for pick up. Disappointed is an understatement. When I arrived, the person helping me was very nice, but he needed the manager’s assistance to complete my payment. The manager was nowhere to be found, so he apologized multiple times for the wait. Once the manager finally came to the front, he didn’t even apologize for the inconvenience. I had to wait for at least 30 minutes, and my food was ready when I arrived.
The ribs looked like they had been cooked for too long, and they simply took the top layer off instead of making new ones. The pickles were very salty, oily and the breading was coming off as if those were also left in the oil for too long. Last time I recommended them to anyone or suggest we celebrate any family event here!

Cool atmosphere and great service. The chopped pork had great flavor but was a weird, smooshy consistency. The others in my party had excellent meals. I would go back to try something different.
