Pretty nice taste to the ribs ... nice barbeque sauce and tender meat. While others complain of reheated food, I guess you just have to go there at the busy times to avoid that problem. We went at 5 pm and were satisfied with the ribs. Of the other two in our party, one had shrimp and one had chicken. The sides definitely could use some work - fries were pretty bland and the cole slaw was Meh. They offered cornbread, which came out as this institutional little dry loaf of cornbread ... I'd skip that next time. Their menu is very broad - from gyros to ribs to fried shrimp. It is near impossible to make such a broad offering with great dishes in each - stick with the ribs. read more

If you enjoy decent BBQ that you will enjoy it here. I like the retro look tey are going fof in the dining room also. Their decor works. If you are not into BBQ well that is fine because they have a very large menu to choose from. The service was about as good as it can get with them being so busy but everyone was friendly in spite of the large crowds and he kept the able to keep the place clean throughout the evening. I really enjoyed my meal. read more

Ive enjoyed a couple of really nice meals there recently. Their food is hot and relatively fast and not at all overpriced. This location could do with a good sweep and maybe a lick of paint. read more

Love this place. Nice laid back atmosphere. Very polite staff. Set up like a portillos. Except You order up front and they bring the food to your table. I will defiantly return here regularly. read more

Decent food..... Stopped on way to Davenport. When you enter you order at the registers then sit down (we were confused at first).... You get a good amount of food for the price. Some food was good, some was average. My husband and I got a BBQ sampler, soup, and a steak sandwich to share. Their BBQ sauce is pretty good, but a little too much was put on the sampler. I think the soup was canned and not fresh. The ribs were excellent as well as the steak sandwich. The chicken, pulled pork, and fries were average. I loved the corn bread. Thought it was a great, fast restaurant. read more

In my opinion: I love there ribs. It is so good. I keep coming back here for take out ribs on their rib days special I don't tend to eat inside here, even though they have plenty of seating. This is due to a not so professional staff. But what do you expect when you pay minimum wage to high school staff. Go for the sandwiches for a good lunch or dinner food. So good. The location is on the corner of route 45 and 191st st. read more

I took my mom here yesterday, ignoring the "it's okay" reviews. My mom ordered a cheeseburger, and I ordered an Italian sausage sandwich. We both agreed that they were okay, but nothing amazing or even delicious. However, both my mom and I love coleslaw. SAVE YOURSELF!!! Do NOT order the coleslaw. Yuck... The fries are great, though. Crispy and delicious. We probably will not be returning here. I'm sure they offer delicious food, but just not the burger or Italian sausage sandwich, and definitely not the coleslaw. P.S. Their cashiers are well-trained, and will upsale you on everything. Watch out! ;D read more

This place is absolutely horrible. I used to come here once a week for years, but they have gotten extremely LAZY with quality that I just can't afford to waste money anymore. The food here is always re-heated, nothing ever is freshly made and if it is please let me know and I'll GLADLY come again (on the managers expense). The cornbread is dry, hard, and packaged. The ribs are always cold and they don't smoke them. The fries are re-fried because they've been sitting out. How can you mess up BBQ? I cant wait until City BBQ or HogWild runs this business deeper into the ground. read more

Order the ribs with cheese fries, cornbread, and corn on the cob. Good coupons on their website.

I had stomach cramps after eating here less then 5 miles down the road. The service was not good. I would never return. If I could have given no stars I would have. read more

I've been going here for year's. I like the ribs and barbecue sauce. But when you are eating ribs and a big piece of hair is in your mouth you lose your appetite. Then I see another big black Mexican hair on my food. I called and told the manager they need to wear hair nets but she got nasty. I will go someplace else from now on. Terrible read more

This is probably the worse shit whole restaurant I've been to. Been there a couple of time and each time I went they mess up my order or forgotten to put in the bag. Get those ears cleaned out you detriments, First get those fucking teens out of there and put a crew in there that knows how to keep it sanitary. I've only messed up once in my time working in the kitchen for four years and that's fast these kids have plenty of time to catch a mistake. read more

I stopped by this place on a Saturday night, about 7:00, The place was packed, so I thought the food must be outstanding, and they have a drive up, you can't beat that. So I pull in, even with the big crowd you moved along pretty quickly, it only took a few minutes to order, I got a full slab of ribs, a baked potato, cole slaw, and a piece of french bread, $19.00 and some change. The ribs were OK, not hot, but with so many orders I'm sure they were cooked long before I got there, the potato was hard it needed about ten more minutes of cooking time, the slaw was good, and the bread was, well bread. All and all I would not go back, I don't know what all those people were doing inside they sure didn't come for the food. read more

I believe the best reviews are an average of several repeat visits. I have dined at Mind's on multiple occasions for lunch & dinner. They are consistent in their food & service although one of them is not good. Service is the loser or should I say the customer is the loser here. You can expect sticky tables and some unwashed. The food is decent but a bit overpriced for the area. On my lunch visit today I had a "Grilled Veggie Sandwich ($4.75) that was very good and priced fair. This contradicts with what I said previously but it is a very large menu and not all is overpriced. My co worker had a BBQ pulled Pork with Fries ($5.95). The bun was large but they really skimped on the Pork. He said said the pork was good but just needed more meat & BBQ. If you have ever eaten at one of the Patio restaurants then you know the concept here. I wonder who copied who? read more

Took advantage of a Groupon Now deal. $10 for $6. Ordered the Cajun Salad ($6.95) and a Mindy Jr Burger ($3.95). Both the portions were decent. The burger was in a bun that was way to big though! Everything was packaged up nicely and came out quickly. It all tasted fresh. The fries were pretty yummy. I thought the decor was cute, it was very western-y. They had a whole tempting array of desserts that I'm going to have to try next time. read more

Did online order (set for pick up at 7pm) for just a breaded chicken sandwich and a bbq pulled pork sandwich... got there at 7pm and waited until 7:40 pm for these two sandwiches!!!! I was the one of two cars in the drive-thru, so crowdedness was not a factor. HIGHLY recommend going to the many other food options in the area. read more

We love Mindy's Ribs. They have lots of bar-b-que options, but also plenty of other options. I usually go for a chicken wrap or soup. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Staff is friendly and helpful. The place is always clean. Food is not over priced. read more

$7 for a chicken wrap, and there was very very very little chicken in it! So I asked for another one..... the staff was horrible. Gave me an attitude. Got the new wrap..... same thing. All lettuce. I was dumb enough to go there again. I got the pulled pork. $7 for a little sandwich McDonalds has better BBQ than these guys. Mindy's Ribs SUCKS! Over priced crap! read more

Absolutely love the rib tips. My kids (teenagers) love their variety of foods. I've had the gyro and burgers before also good but I always go back to the tips! The price is reasonable, clean environment. read more

Never again will I visit this establishment. My husband, 4 year old daughter, and I ordered and picked up food from here last weekend. Thankfully my daughter didn't want any so we bought her food from somewhere else. I ordered the boneless rib sandwich. It tasted mediocre. It was apparently undercooked because later that evening I became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea. It was horrible! I don't have a sensitive stomach. I had eaten here a few years ago and decided to try it again. I won't be making that mistake again! I emailed the restaurant about what happen and did not even receive a reply. They definitely won't be getting my business again. read more

I'd take Mindy's over traditional fast food any day. Ordered a burger & fish sandwich for lunch. Service was good, though tables could have used some attention. Wasn't busy, so lots of places to seat yourself. Unique atmosphere, but no WiFi here. Pleasant experience, overall. Would visit again. read more

Best ribs ever!! definitely never disappointed, food is ready in efficient time! all coworkers are very friendly! and the ribs stayed fresh driving 20 minutes back from the restaurant!!! Def recommend here for some yummy ribs! read more

Last night we ordered from Mindy's through GrubHub. I ordered a meatball sandwich which I assumed would come with at least a little red sauce on it. GrubHub did not have the option of adding any. The meatballs seemed to be tasty but I couldn't tell. There was so much salt on the sandwich that it burned my mouth. It was inedible, so I threw the entire sandwich away. The salt was in the meatballs as well as on the meatballs. Had there been red sauce, it may have helped at least a tiny bit to hide the onslaught of salt that battered my entire mouth. I took a few bites to be sure and the overdose of salt was consistent. My girlfriend thought I was exaggerating...until she took a bite. Needless to say I am extremely unhappy with Mindy's and none too pleased with GrubHub. To be fair,all I'm saying is that my experience was bad. GrubHub needs to add options to selections and Mindy's needs to throw away the salt shaker. I am dead serious about the amount of salt on my sandwich. Maybe the lid from the salt shaker came off when salt was added to my sandwich. That's a possibility. I'm giving Mindy's the benefit of the doubt. It should have been thrown away and another one made if that was the case. If I do even decide to try Mindy's again, I'll have to go there in person. A meatball sandwich should always have red sauce. That falls on GrubHub for not offering the option. I doubt the sandwich would have been edible even with a quart of red sauce on it. My name is Bill Thomson from Frankfort. read more

I'm just going to say it. The only thing this place knows how to cook is ribs. And they are average at best. I've tried everything else and it's not worth your time or money. I don't care how many coupons are in the paper. Crappy food is just that. Take everything else off the menu, including the boneless rib sandwich and start over. read more

Good value, generous portions, speedy service! Only caveat, don't forget to double-check all carry-out orders!

Love the ribs and the BBQ sauce. Generous portions. Consistent quality.

Great American food joint! Service at the drive through is a bit slow, but worth the wait! Beef sandwiches are great!

Ansalutley the worst place for gyros. I ordered a plate and when I got home came to find out they put a gyro sandwich in a plate!! The gyro was fresh cut on the top but old and small piesess on the inside. We did not get any gyro sauce either!! Would not recommend at all. read more

Love love love their grilled buffalo chicken wrap, but next time gonna say easy mayo! Super huge and super tastey!!!! Could only eat half! Great price. The rib sandwich is okay....bbq sauce is yummy. But try the wrap!!!!!! read more

We always receive coupons so why not use them. I had the ribs with fries, slaw and onion rings. Not bad, burgers are also a good choice. I have in the past tried beef and chicken and they are ok. Menu is large so you have quite a few choices. It can get pricey with add on's and service is usually ok. read more

Ordered the chicken fajita wrap special. About 1/4 of the way through the wrap, I detected something hard when I bit down. Pulled out a 2 inch long chicken bone. Nice. Not going back again. Ever. read more

Now I remember why I haven't been here for such a long time! The food pretty much stinks! Dousing otherwise unseasoned meat with what appears to be bottled BBQ sauce doesn't make it barbecue!! Do they actually smoke or grill anything? The only thing that saved the visit was the staff! I won't be returning any time soon!! I'll be sticking with Nick's! read more

I usually get the bbq pig sandwich-truthfully the name rather grosses me out but this time I got the bbq chicken salad, which was not worth the money. There is a fair amount of chicken in it, but it's mostly a ton of iceberg lettuce.At the bottom of my container was a puddle of water which was pretty gross and there are a few cucumbers, some cheese, some red onion but all in all it's really kind of the equivalent of a McDonalds caliber salad for twice the price. And they are so slow here. So after waiting 10 minutes in line, when you get to the window and they ask you to pull over and they'll bring it out to you, is a bit of a head scratcher--not like they're picking the lettuce to put in there. read more

Pulled pork is your best option from Mindys. I tried one of their salads the other day as I work around the corner and needed lunch. It was a hardy salad and the Chicken had a good flavor. I haven't had the best luck in their drive through so I usually go in to order. read more

We took advantage of two Groupon Coupons ($20 for $10). My wife and I ordered two full slab rib dinner cost us a total of $20. What a deal! Very good ribs, very good food and service. We have had Mindy's Ribs before, always liked them. The only reason its not 5 stars is that it needs a little decorating update. read more

Stick to the ribs if you want decent ribs quick. Ordering ahead and picking up is easy. Everything else is just ok. There are better places for burgers and sandwiches that cost less too. Mindy's burgers are overpriced for their mediocre quality. The salads aren't all that great either, I was disappointed. read more

I really think this place is gang down hill . Ordered a half slab dinner with baked potato for take out. Ribs were not as good as in the past. "Better than your own backyard " is there saying well maybe that was true ,but not this trip. Sorry Mindy's your just not cutting it for me read more

This place is dirty. And that would be the best thing I could say about it. Got the mafia steak sandwich. It was 2 pieces of meat the size of a white castle patty. Horible food. Should of driven right by like apparently everyone else did because it was empty on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Mindy's Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

Well, I have eaten at this place many times over the years that it's been here. I really liked the Orland location better. But, it closed, and this one was closer to me anyway. So, let's start with the food. It's average really for a backyard bbq style chain in the Chicago area. Some people really like the ribs, but I think there is better not far away from here personally. The burgers and hot dogs are so-so. The fries are so-so also. The pasta here is surprisingly good though... much better than expected. The service is ok. The prices are... ok. It's similar to the Patio in Orland Hills. You place your order at the counter and take a seat. You get your own drinks. They'll bring your food to you. I don't believe you are expected to leave tip. The reason it only gets one star from me though is about the last time that I went there. Me and my co-worker were ordering and looking at the menu up behind the registers there. I noticed a very large thing moving around on the wall. It was a roach! A big roach! The lady working the drive through noticed it too and didn't do a thing about it. Probably to your discuss, my friend and I still ordered and finished our food there. We survived without getting sick or anything. But, we vowed to never go back unless the place is closed for cleaning for at least a few weeks to get rid of the pest problems. read more

Overpriced subpar food. For bbq, go a few blocks south to hogwild. Much better. For the rest (beef, hotsogs, etc.).there are much better places. First time ive been in a while and they did a good job in reminding me why I havent been there in a while. Not edible if you are starving. Ribs tasted like I was eating my belt with bbq sauce on it. Terrible. Should remove the rib part of their name. Just horrible. Disgusted i spent $. My 2 & 4 YO were looking at me confused if this was really lunch. Thank you Mindys. read more
