Good hot food very flavorfull good customer service I will return to the location great food deals

I made the decision to travel to the westside to try this spot. What a terrible decision driving up Chicago Ave. Things got worse when I entered the restaurant and customers were talking loud and using profanity while talking to a male staffer. I waited patiently and made my way to the window where the guy at the window just looked at me like I was bothering him. Reluctantly, I ordered a few items turkey tips and links. After spending $45, I received my order which was disappointing both in quantity and quality. On top of poor quality food there was no thank you from the male cashier. Poor quality food, an unsafe environment and rude service equals 0 stars. I won't make that trip again. read more

To improve the rib tips I suggest that they brine the meat before cooking. Use better seasoning on the meat and cook to the until the entire piece of meat is edible. A better tasting sauce would be helpful. read more

NEVER HAVE I EVER been so disappointed and disgusted with a restaurant to this magnitude! Fries burnt tasting and cold, chicken wings cold, links cold and tips cold! Then to call and be told there's nothing I can do ma'am...YOU CAN! You can definitely do better, take pride in your business and service by not sending out less than mediocre food that was PAID for, not free! Simply horrible and terrible experience, nothing was hot or freshly made within 1 hour! read more

I ordered on Monday Memorial Day, yesterday and I asked for a combination rib tip and two links and the total was $26. And some change. This was my first time trying their food and I should have took a picture of the very small tray they gave me and they don't tell you they cut up the links. I barely had tips and didn't look like two links. I went back and asked for my money back and the cashier offered me another order to go with that order and I just wanted my money back. Got my refound. I will not be going back the food didn't taste good and barley any BBQ sauce and links wasn't that good. Charge to much money for very small tray and not so good food. I recommend Lems out south 75th. Street. read more

I use to live on the Westside and went to purchase some rib tips from Bro n laws they were finger licking delicious, I would go back again read more

I've been going to this place since they opened!! It's hit or miss!! I really enjoy the tip and link combo. Though,the service and details to your order is almost nonexistent. Myself and a friend had a bbq craving and this could be a go to spot. But,this joint is again. Hit or miss. No consistency with food. Consistent with no extra sauce. And there is always a feel of uneasiness when inside. Hood area . Downtown prices and hot or miss food. Not a good combination. The portion size is the biggest issue to me. Get it right or I'll find someplace else to eat. read more

I order Bro-N- Laws via Uber eats. Ya'll I was a little scared because I had never heard of them and the store front on Google didn't do the place much justice! But they had turkey tips... I'm avoiding red meat and I'm chicken and fished out. I'm here to say the Turkey Tips were delicious. I actually ordered: 1 Large Turkey Tip 1 Banana Pudding 1 extra sauce The tips were great! They were very fresh and there was a generous portion. I've had a few different types of turkey tips and I happily surprised that these had a few bones and some skin. I felt like I was eating pork rib tips...but they were def turkey! There was texture and flavor! I could have used a few more fries... BUT with the amount of turkey I got.. I cant complain about fries. They gave me what matters most. SN: If you like very saucy food, I definitely suggest ordering an extra sauce or two. I was also happy to see my full order written on the brown paper bag, and I received every item I ordered. So many places forget the sauces!! read more

Bro-N-Laws Bar-B-Q - Large turkey Tip. Not the best photo but they were great! - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came to Bro N Laws to try some of their bbq. Like most bbq joints, this place is take out only and they accept credit cards. The only thing that was bad was their customer service. The guy that took our order had an attitude and wasn't welcoming at all. Never once smiled. Can't be doing that, especially during these times. The food however was a different story. My wife ordered their tips and wings combo, and I ordered my usual tips and links. My wife's wings were very tasty. Cooked just right and were a decent size. The ribs had plenty of meat and had a nice smoky flavor. The sauce complemented these perfectly smoked ribs. I ordered a small and there was plenty of food to go around. I got worried at first when I didn't see the links. I was about to call them and say hey what the hell?! But I found them! Unlike other joints that serve they shop, they served them in slices here. These were good but would have preferred them whole. Overall they have some food tasting bbq here. Places like this aren't usually only found on the south side so it's good to have some good tasting rib tips on the west side. Just gotta check that attitude bro. read more

This was one of the first places I tried when I moved to Chicago. I was living in Logan Square at the time and this place was nearby. It was the place with no frills and little social media presence, but we gave it a try anyway and I'm so glad we did. I ordered the catfish, chicken wings, and rib tips with sauce on the side. All their barbeque is smoked low and slow and worth the wait! The tips were definitely the star of the show! I'd say if you want to try this place, go during the day and during off-peak hours. Understand that they drop your food when you ordered it (at least the fried stuff) so be prepared to wait. I promise it's worth it. Just make sure to ask them how long it'll be and watch the clock, when they start calling out orders, it can get hectic, and if you don't hear your order called/or mishear that's not fun for anyone. But don't let the area and menu deter you, give it a try, you'll like it! read more

Tried this joint 3 times, foods was over cooked and dry each time. They haven't learned the RECIPE to good BBQ.

I truly hate leaving bad reviews. Especially, for black restaurants. But this food was TRASH! Absolutely TRASH! Old, dry, leftover bbq. I bought the "Caddy" which was wings, tips and links and everything was terrible. The smallest wings I've ever had and fried beyond belief. I so disappointed. I ordered as soon as the opened thinking it would be decent and got leftover stuff from yesterday. Not to mention it cost almost $30 read more

I wish I could leave no stars but I ordered a large tip I asked could they put the sauce on the bottom so it was just on the fries and they said no. I got it anyway for there to be barely any meat on a lot of the tips and they were tough. Never again. And the young man at the window had a attitude. read more

I went there for a small tip link combo and it was terrible! The ribs was tough and burnt and the links was cheap tasting like real porky and undone plus it was really small and too expensive for the quality and quantity of food I got $20.00 don't waste your time! read more

I had the tips , bread and fries It was pretty good, food does take a long time , due to lots of orders . This old e it's always so busy ! read more

It was decent. If I lived closer, I might go back. I live far south and is not worth that drive. I ordered the rib tips and they were tender they were actually pretty meaty and the sauce was good. I thought the barbecue could have more seasonings and more smoke flavor. My son ordered a turkey tips he said they were amazing and he will definitely be going back for the house. read more

Its cool. I ordered the Cadillac which is rib tips, hot links and chicken. I added a side of greens. It was decent. The chicken was fye well seasoned and fried right. The greens were pretty solid for a restaurant. I've had better though. Hot links was good . The rib tips were okay they were well seasoned but were tough . Maybe it was an off day because everything else seemed pretty good, The sauce is also too tangy for my taste but some people like that so to each its own. I would come get the chicken again definitely. read more

Never eat from this place again, I had brought some turkey tips, the meat was old and it was too tough to eat. Very disappointed at the place because I hear so many good things about them, but they didn't live up to my expectations. read more

We ordered a half slab of ribs, rib tips, fries and mac & cheese for delivery. It came fast which is good because we were starving and craving good bbq! We open the bag and it's one big mess. Each rib meal was in a paper tray and wrapped in a smaller paper bag. We've ordered ribs from numerous places and the food is usually in a styrofoam or aluminum container. The ribs and tips were pretty good and had a nice, smokey flavor. Unfortunately, the fries were inedible since they were under the meat. They were complete mush and drowning in sauce. They would have fared better tossed in their own paper bag. At least the mac & cheese was in a separate container! It was a bit on the greasy side, though. It's probably better to eat in here rather than order delivery. We're still on the hunt for a good bbq delivery since our favorite place closed. read more

Very good bbq, friendly staff. I had the rib tips and hot links. They cut the hot links in pieces, I am use to having an entire link, not one that is cut into pieces, I was a little surprised, by that, but, It was still very tasty. The hot links are not too spicy, just enough spice. Delicious sauce, not to sweet, not overly smoked meat, large portions. read more

If you love old school BBQ and links this is the place for you! I have ordered here several times and I have never been disappointed!

I will be ordering from them again and again and again! read more

There are levels to this. There is of course the wonderful gourmet BBQ that has finally infitrated and taken over the market (Smoque, Q-BBQ, etc.), but these places tend to be rather pricey. There is also the bargain basement, bottom of the barrel BBQ that you can find almost anywhere: affordable but of poor quality, Then you have places like Bro-N-Laws BBQ, which in my opinion fall right in the middle, the sweet spot, if you will. Location: This location is a classic Chicago staple, the bulletproof glass spot. There is no seating to be had, simply a long, narrow, brick-lined waiting area, separated from the kitchen by a span of bulletproof glass equipped with turnstiles and slots where transactions can be made. Though this may give some people pause, the staff has always been polite and professional, and the patrons much the same. Food: -Chicken Wings: I have long advocated for Fried Chicken with BBQ sauce on it to become one of the major food groups, and Bro n Laws further highlights my point. Chicken is nicely breaded and fried fresh while you wait. If you don't call your order in, be ready to pace that waiting area for 15 minutes or so. That said, the chicken is delicious, and became one of my favorite lunch items while I was working in the area. -Rib Tips: Fatty, inconsistent, but mostly tender and delicious. These have not been smoked for 6 hours at 225 degrees, but they are still good. Some pieces will be perfect, and some will remind you of chewing on a shoe. That said, they are nice, but undersauced in my opinion. -Fries: True to the form of a bulletproof glass BBQ spot, the fries are buried under what ever entree you ordered and soaked in BBQ sauce and grease. Thus, they will not be crispy, but they are soaked in BBQ sauce, which is awesome. Concentrate on finishing these, because they will not reheat. Price: A little more expensive than what I want to pay, but what isn't. A Chicken wing/rib tip combo meal will run you about $15, but can easily be 2 lunches unless you are very hungry or are one of the Chicago Bears. All except once I had food leftover. Summary: A great hole in the wall restaurant in an area of the city that needs more of them. Great value and flavor to be had here. Food is a little inconsistent at times, and the lack of sauce offends me, but not enough to keep me away. A hidden gem that I will return to. read more

I made my first visit here today. The food was delicious. Since I had never had food from here before I tried a few menu items. I got tips, links, and wings. The portions were very good. The barbecue sauce and mild sauce are both good. The meat was seasoned well. The service was attentive and faster than expected. I should have taken a picture of my food but it smelled so good and I was hungry when I got home with it, I just started eating. I had a good first experience and look forward to having many more. read more

I have went twice recently & have been disappointed!!! The tips were fatty and cut up like neck bones. Sauce had no flavor and the meat temperature for my 20 minute wait was luke warm. Bro N Laws please don't disappoint me next time I do a dry run to see if I will continue to be a customer. I don't mind waiting for hot food but cold it's a problem. Lastly, the cashiers need to be more friendly, customer service still goes a long way even in 2020, I expect it. read more

Good food! Definitely gon comeback and tell my people's how it was fa'sure. I ain't had bbq in a minute and this spot definitely helped me out with that read more

the food was actually okay. I ordered a large tips and link combo. for $16 that was really stingy.

The good: Large portion sizes-can get two or three meals out of a small combo easily. Definitely felt that I got my monies worth. I also loved that they are open late. The meh: it took about thirty minutes to get my order-there was only one other customer waiting. But, I justified the long wait in the hope that quality takes time. The bad: My turkey link was burned (extremely hard to chew). My turkey ribs were also very dry. Even though the sauce and seasoning were good, nothing could overcome the extreme dryness overall. Overall, I can't really recommend this place based on my first experience. However, I am always willing to give the benefit of the doubt, so I may try them again during my next late night barbeque craving. read more

Great, no frills BBQ. We ordered pickup of the "Birds Nest" through Uber Eats and it was a good portion of fried wings, Turkey sausage, and turkey tips. I was new to turkey tips, so do note that it is little tips of turkey that are still on small pieces of bone. Best to eat carefully with your hands. The sauce was excellent - very sweet with a little tanginess to it. We also got Mac and cheese on the side, which was excellent - very rich, buttery, and cheesy! Good value for the price. read more

I've ordered from Bro-N-Laws a bunch of times on UberEATS. I like them a lot. The food is pretty consistent... I've tried the turkey tips, fries and mac and cheese. I would recommend getting extra sauce and requesting your fries on the side if you don't want them drenched in sauce. Are the fries soggy? Yeah. But I like them that way ‍ lol read more
