    Wtffffffffff is this???!!!! Embarrassing NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! DO NOT BUY FOOD FROM HERE!!!!!!! Mini Combo Turkey Combo

    terrible experience never buy food here, disgusting!!!! service terrible as well. not even worth 1 star!

    This is the worst bbq I've ever had. The rib tips were just like table scraps, the links were old.

    Horrible bbq, more like table scraps. There wasn't a rib tip on the bunch, and I the links were black.I wouldn't feel it to my dog.

    Ok, it's been awhile since we were here because of covid but finally had the chance to stop by and have the usual rib tips and link combo with fries and the fish combo. A little disappointed because there's a lot of bones in the order as well as cold greasy fries and very little sauce. The service is good, you order and pay at the counter. The ambiance is ok, nothing fancy. After spending $60 I'm sure there's other places around to try this combo and much cheaper. This used to be our go to place when in the area but might have to change it up.

    We stopped in because the smells were amazing. We both had the fish special which was a good price point, but this was an example of you get what you pay for. The shrimp had WAY too much batter on it and once you pick off the batter there wasn't much shrimp left. The catfish was sliced rather than fillet so you have backbone and rib bones in each fried portion. Once you pick out the bones there wasn't much catfish left to eat. Matter of fact, I pitched the last piece because it was just too much work. The only good thing was the meal came with a slice of bread. There is just something about fish present with "make your own sandwich" that is very "home grown" to me. Too bad the food could not overcome my warm fuzzy about the smells and the bread.

    Joe's Large Rib Tip that are Tough

    Waste of time and MoneyHad a taste for some rib tips today Saturday, August 10, 2024, and thought about Joe's located at 350 N. Wolf Rd, Hillside, IL. Pulled up to Joe's the smell of BBQ is floating in the air. Stood in a short line, waited my turn to order, asked for a Large Tip w/Extra Mild Sauce. They are understaffed; they need more people working. Waited 20 minutes got my tips and went home. Opened my rib tips, I'm ready to get down only to be terribly disappointed. The rib tips are scarcely sauced, they look half done, I bite into a small piece of rib tip that is tough as nails. I'm done with Joe's Bar-B- & Fish, Hillside, IL. It had been over a year since I had been to Joe's and now I remember why!

    RODENTS IN THE FOOD!!!!!

    Still thinking about my friend group's late lunch at Golden Boy Barbecue! I went with a group of 6…read moreon a Saturday to enjoy the beautiful Chicago weather. Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

The food overall was delicious, however, there were a few drawbacks. The pulled chicken did have a bone in it, and the cornbread on the platter was laughably small. I wouldn't bother putting it on the menu personally. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drink selection, all in all, a good visit.

The environment is inviting and laid back where you can have a beer and play slots while enjoying your wings. Me and my co-workers go there every week. Just note that the wings are pricey, but this is due to the quality of the chicken that they purchase (organic non-GMO) and the size. The chicken is never frozen and it's fresh. I recommend anyone who likes to eat good wings to try this spot out!

Well when I got there, they had 1 of the 2. Can you guess which? If you guessed ramen, you're wrong. They stopped serving food when COVID hit or around COVID. I was bummed to say the least because per Yelp, they had some pretty decent ramen. Had my mouth all watering for some good ramen only to get disappointed. Oh well, they did have another one of my favorite things - SLOTSSSSS! Yassssssss! I popped 10 bucks in one of'em and less than 10 mins later I left with a hundred and two bucks. #YaGirlWasHappy I'd say that more than made up for the no ramen having restaurant/slot establishment. I wish I could recommend them for the ramen but I can't but if you looking to win some money playing the slots, this is your place.

It's worth noting that dogs are welcome on the patio. Our service was not the best unfortunately. In multiple instances we never received things we asked our server for. We also waited quite a while to order our food because she was chatting with another guest. Even so, we will probably give this place another try on a less busy day, as we went on a Saturday afternoon. They have a really solid veggie burger, and there's no up-charge to substitute, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Baja California burger, which was a really nice combination of flavors. I upgraded my fries for Cajun fries and honestly wouldn't next time. The Cajun spice was not spicy at all and the flavor wasn't worth the extra $2.99.
