Stopped in for a quick lunch before a flight. Amazing barbecue. We had the brisket, pulled pork and ribs. All of it was great. Sauces were yummy too! Such a cool restaurant inside. Sign says they have live music and the whole restaurant has a great view of the stage. Must be a really fun place at night! read more

Chicken fingers had zero taste . Tater tots were not crisp . Cute environment . Food was bad

Disappointing experience. Ordered the Large Chicken Wings as a group appetizer and couldn't believe how few wings there were, but more shockingly were the size of each wing (they were tiny) and therefore many of them were overcooked/ burnt. Ordered the brisket plate and received 2.5 pieces of brisket, which was tasty, but not filling. When the server asked what side I wanted, I ordered the Mac and cheese. Didn't realize it was going to cost another $10. The sides that did come with it were a spoonful of Cole slaw and a quarter piece of toast. It was half price old fashioned night, so my friend ordered "the best damn" one and it came out half of what one would expect: we had a few at the bar earlier and they were fine, but this one was tiny. When we raised it to the server's attention, she didn't acknowledge or even try to remedy. We joked that when you pay half price, you get half a drink... Finally, server was competent but had zero personality and didn't add to the experience whatsoever. I'm from out of town and was surprised to see a 4% surcharge, once again, not disclosed, on our final bill. It was a slow Monday night, so the space was open and the service was timely enough. Nice footprint for a restaurant. Doubt I'll ever return. Bummed we didn't go out for deep dish nearby instead , would have cost 1/3 to 1/2 the price and we would all been full. read more

Bub City BBQ is a great restaurant to go with a group of fellow carnivores. I don't know why they don't have this listed on their regular menu, but for $94.95 you can get the Game Day Platter, which includes a full rack of Chicago-style baby back pork ribs, 18 hour smoked prime beef brisket, pulled Berkshire pork shoulder, hickory-smoked jumbo chicken wings, and buffalo chicken bites, served with white bread slices, creamy cole slaw, pickled red onions, and regular pickles. It is enough food for 4-5 people if you also order something to share as a starter, such as the salad we went with. I recommend the Southwest Chopped Salad to accompany any bbq. The Southwest Chopped comes with tomatoes, black beans, avocado, white cheddar (you can get this on the side if you are lactose intolerant), chipotle ranch, and a gluten free fresh lime vinaigrette over a few types of greens for $14.95. My three favorite meats were definitely the baby back ribs, Brisket, and pork shoulder, and personally I could have done without the two chicken options. Next time, I'd probably just order my favorites, but for a group of first-timers the platter was a fantastic sampling option. read more

What a fun dinner, live music, great food (I had the Chopper Salad) and friendly service. I will say that our server was a bit scattered and maybe stretched in his area. We had to request items multiple times and when we received our checks ( we were a group of 8) were mixed up. Regardless it was a great meal and full of fun! read more

Had a good evening here with my husband and my brother, another fellow Yelper! We took a look at recommendations and the menu, decided on Bub City on a Saturday to meet up and have some brews and bbq. I did make reservations prior to our arrival on open table. I think that helped being we went out on a busy Saturday night. The weather could have been better. It was a rainy night but we enjoyed our meals. We ordered chips, pimento cheese, and guac to start. It was good! The pimento cheese dip was different but tasty! All of the food came out super fast. The guys split a pitcher of beer- hazy IPA. They liked it! I love that this place offers pitchers. Great deal for a crowd. We ordered corn bread, ribs, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and the brussel sprouts for dinner. Two of the meals came with a small side of coleslaw which looks good. The cornbread was delicious. Portions were huge. The Brussels sprouts were also surprisingly good! The pulled pork and Mac and cheese were also very tasty. Had to bring home several boxes. My husband said the ribs were good but a bit tough. Not as tender as he liked. We would probably skip those for next time. The atmosphere is great. It's a great place for happy hour, after work, friends, etc. PRO TIP!!! -- Use the parking garage for parking and bring your ticket with you to the restaurant- they will validate your parking and it will be free instead of $15! read more

Jamal was absolutely fantastic! One of the best servers that we have had here! Very attentive and knew the menu! Very kind!

I really want to like local places. I really do. But for 20 years of traveling, I'm sick and tired of throwing good money after bad food. The service here was fine. The ribs were just okay. The cole slaw was a mouthful of mayonnaise with some cabbage for texture; and the beans were a mouthful of molasses with beans for texture. Evidently this place has a love affair with sugar. Now I'm no slave to healthy eating, but the principal food items should speak for themselves instead of relying on condiments for their flavor, i.e. a shitload of sugar and fatted cream (mayo). Hope they can do better. read more

Went for Sunday brunch and it wasn't busy at all. Seated very quickly. There's a brunch happy hour for bloodys and mimosas, I think the bloodys were $8 and mimosas $6. Not bad at all. Flapjack "pancake" sandwich was really good! It was like a McGriddle but not overly sweet. Nachos were ok, not enough brisket added especially when it's an additional add on. Not pictured are the breakfast tacos and those looked good. Sticky buns are a must! read more

Nice presentation of food. Food tasted okay. My brisket sandwich didn't really have a lot of brisket on it. It was mostly fat. It was more bread than anything. Mac and cheese was okay, would not get it again. To me it tasted like Annie's boxer Mac and cheese with just extra cheese. My guest ordered the Pitmaster Combo plate. They said it was fine. It was a big serving and they picked at it over a couple of days. Whatever mashed inner potato sour thing that was on the side was terrible though. We could not figure out what it was. It tasted like a potato was put in a blender with water. And then cheese and green onions put on top of it. We really could not figure out what it was except that it tasted very sour and smelled off. The margaritas were pretty good. The server was pleasant but overall the place just wasn't vibing. At one point, we looked around and noted how almost everyone looked miserable. The servers, runners, busboys, girls at the counter. It was just lots of blank faces. For $150 for 2 people, the vibes gotta check out. We wrapped up pretty quickly, got the food packed up to go and went elsewhere so we could enjoy the rest of our Saturday afternoon. read more

So we hit this place up as a backup to the restaurant next door. It's got a Country & Western vibe with some Taylor Swift a not too loud, my wife and zi carried on a conversation. A large stage where they can host bands - we went on a Wednesday night when there were no bands. The food was good, so was the water - but served with no ice, but provided when ask. They do have a service fee - but the waitress l, who was very friendly and accommodating, waived it. Highly recommended if you are a C&W fan. Will be back. read more

Food was alright, the brisket wasn't super flavorful and the wings were very dry. The service was fine but we were called for our reservation 20 minutes before being seated. The place was slammed on a Saturday night, so I give it some grace there. If you are there while there is live music you'll have a good time at least. read more

Stopped in after a comedy show next door around 9:00pm on a Friday night. No reservations but we were seated within about 15 mins. First time here. Nice atmosphere, good music and the BBQ was pretty spot on too. I had the sliced brisket (mix of fatty and leaner cuts) and it was great. Tender, juicy and just the right amount of smoke. My better half had the half slab of baby backs and she enjoyed those as well. Coleslaw was also good. Mac and cheese side order wasn't bad, but certainly nothing memorable. Plain Jane and needed salt. Service was good. We will definitely be back again if in the area. read more

Party of 6. Saturday night. 5:30 reservation. Table ready for us when we arrived. Big plus there! Super attentive and overall awesome server (Tim). Food came out very quickly, and was nice and hot. Food was good, not great. Portions were small...Chicken tenders included three very small pieces, with a ton of waffle fries. Brisket and chicken sandwiches were more the size of sliders than sandwiches...again huge portion of fries. Half slab of ribs in most places is 6-7 bones. Our order had 4 ribs. Side order of cornbread was delicious. We drove 45 minutes to get here, and it wasn't good enough for us to be willing to make the drive again. Nothing negative enough to recommend against eating here, but overall not good enough to recommend coming. read more

Great spot for a business lunch. Good service and the food was great! Cute atmosphere. Country BBQ. Tender brisket, and these trucker bites were amazing. The perfect marriage of crackers, pimento cheese, bread and butter pickle and smoked sausage. Sweet, savory, simple and so good! read more

The good - The decor is fun. A giant screen and multiple other tvs showing live sports. The service was great, fast and friendly. The selection of beer on tap was good with some seasonal selections. The not good - Everything was overpriced, but I guess that should be expected in this area. The food - The salad was salty. How does that happen? I'm pretty sure the chicken was previously frozen based on the texture. read more

Love love love the sauce here. They have great wings and ribs. Also a big fan of the Mac and cheese with pulled pork. Burgers are tasty and what you'd expect from a good bbq joint. Service can be a little slow at times, but all in all a great place to grab a bite. If it's your thing, they also do a house cinnamon whiskey that's gotten rave reviews from the family. read more

We came here for lunch with a group of friends - hands down best BBQ I tried! We are from California and the quality of meat here was fabulous - soft, fell off right the bone, and good quantity for the price too.

The service was quick and we had a really great time here eating really delicious BBQ. read more

This place came recommended by a friend who lives in the area, and this place delivered! I had the brisket mac & cheese, along with friend pickles. Their sangria was also wonderful and the pitcher made about 5-6 total drinks, so well worth the price! Our waitress, although I forgot her name, was phenomenal with checking in on us. The restaurant was busy, lively with country music, but the service certainly didn't suffer. Wonderful place! read more

Pit master combo platter for $44 and we felt for the price, quantity was actually quite small. The side of beans and coleslaw were tiny too. The ribs and brisket were very dry which we smothered in the sauces to juice it up. I did like the pulled pork! - was the juiciest of the bunch and had a nice ratio of fat to meat. The coleslaw is really interesting where it's cut into the smallest pieces imagine like baby food. I also like the sauces, one was regular bbq but the other was more tangy and smokey in flavor. We ended up running out at the end. We also got a side of Brussels sprouts which tasted pretty good. A little oily but still crispy and had nice balsamic flavor. Since we were still hungry we also got the Buffalo tater tots. Can't mess up tots but they weren't crispy enough so when trying to put a fork in them they would crumble. Overall the restaurant space itself is really neat and I could see the nightlife with live music being fun here. Staff were friendly, but the table was incredibly sticky. read more

This place was okay. I had higher hopes because the Chicago location is poppin all the time, and my boyfriend and I wanted to go on a date around us so we decided to go to this Rosemont location. Our server was nice and attentive despite it being super busy. The food was mediocre - the waffle fries were the best part and they were nothing special. Don't get a salad from here - it literally reminded me of a salad I can easily make at home. Didn't have that many toppings, either. The pork shoulder came out cold and was kind of bloody. We weren't crazy about any of the things we ordered. The ambiance is cool inside and outside on their patio, I would only recommend coming here for drinks and maybe some appetizers. Overall I don't think I'd recommend this place to someone for dinner or for food food, but I would if they want to just go out for drinks and have fun. Better to come here with a group of friends than on a date. read more

Came by for lunch on Monday with a few coworkers. When we walked in we were immediately greeted by the hostess. Once seated we were immediately greeted by our server asking if we wanted anything to drink. As we were waiting on an additional colleague we mentioned water was fine for the time being. Our food order was taken and food came out rather quickly after. I had the Nashville Chicken Sandwich, of which has coleslaw, crispy chicken, and pickles on a brioche bun. The sandwich was overall great the chicken had a nice kick to it as well. It came with a side of tater tots. Once we got our food, our waiter never really came by, so we asked for extra pitchers of water to have on the table. Overall it was a great experience and a fun place to meet up for lunch. I'd love to come back to experience the fun on the weekend. The parking garage next door is a bit hard to figure out. The parking is $15. read more
