Our company catered for a luncheon, and the food was amazing! All of our employees loved the food. Our GMO recommended this place and he was not wrong about his choice. The delivery was on time and the food was hot and ready to serve. The food was delicious. The service was great! Thank you Nine One One. Great Northern Lumber thought the food was amazing. Thanks, Leticia Garza Events Coordinator Great Northern Lumber. read more

This was my first time eating here. Nice little gem. I had rib tips and macaroni and cheese. Both were good and it took me a couple of days to make my way through a large portion. When I was able to place my order things went smoothly, but it literally took me 3 days during business hours to get a live person on the phone to take my order. For Luddites this might be a challenge. read more

After the Famous Dave's on 95th closed a few years ago I've been hard-pressed to find a decent barbecue restaurant. I found 911 after yelping restaurants in the area and I was excited to see a barbecue shack among the listings. I brought my mom who was really craving barbecue. Unfortunately the barbecue was still cooking when we arrived and we were told that it would be a 45 minute wait. Bummer!!! This is why I gave them four stars. We opted for the half barbecue chicken dinner with baked beans as a side and a small hot link combo with collard greens as the side. I was pleasantly surprised. The barbecue chicken fell off the bone, it was very tender. The hotlink was good but not as spicy as I'm used to, actually it wasn't spicy at all. The Collard greens were delicious, I could've eaten an entire bowl with a side of corn bread. The The coleslaw was a little on the Sweet side, I only took off few spoonfuls. The baked beans were very tasty but also on the sweet side. The common theme was sweet; the barbecue sauce was sweet and spicy and the baked beans were sweet. The meal came dangerously close to being one note; sweet! However, I d still recommend 911 for service, cleanliness, and good homey food. We enjoyed our food very much. I really wanted to taste the ribs, next time! And there will be a next time. read more

See all

In fairness, let me start by saying this rating is for poor service. The food was satisfactory. I made a catering order 4 days in advance of my event, my grandfather's memorial. I ordered 2 pans of spaghetti. I requested pickup at 1pm. I arrived at the restaurant at 1:45 for pickup. A woman says she thought the order was for 2pm and she still needed 30 minutes. Wow!...you still need 30 minutes for an order that should ready in 15 minutes according to you. The male gentleman offered to deliver the food to the event within the hour. I took him up on the offer because I had other hot food in the car from elsewhere that I didn't want to get cold. He arrived at the event well after 3pm. The gentleman was quite presumptuous and indicated he would give me a gift certificate the next time I come in and he hopes the spaghetti wasn't "the star of the show". Who said anything about a next time? You'd think he would've brought the gift certificate with him if he really cared. They didn't seem very sorry for the inconvenience... Especially the woman. They delayed the memorial... Just adding insult to injury. I was referred to the restaurant by my uncle, a retired firefighter. I'm terribly disappointed with the service. read more

The service was good though the two workers there appeared to be tripping over each other. The bbq sauce was more grease than sauce.

This was the first time trying this restaurant. I ordered rib tips, cole slaw and baked beans. The rib tips were tender and the sauce was just ok. However the baked beans were just pork n beans out the can with onion and green peppers added. The were not even baked!! Will not be visiting again. read more

The ribs are fall off the bone tender, and everyone is so nice.....Must try!!!

Mt Greenwood needs more restaurants, there's no doubt about it. Especially ones that don't sell pizza, burgers, hot dogs and beefs. There are PLENTY of those, and they're very good, but variety is the spice of life. That being said, I was excited when I heard a new BBQ place was opening up. Hopefully no more drives to Chucks or Hog Wild for good BBQ, right? Wrong. At the very least, not yet. I had high hopes for this place. The first couple times I tried to go, they closed early because they ran out of food. The restaurant itself truly is a little "shack" with some plastic chairs that is decorated nicely enough, but it's tiny size screams "take it to go" as soon as you walk in. The employees were polite and the food looked and smelled good. I got a brisket sandwich, a 3 slider meal with pulled pork, chicken and brisket, and a 1/2 slab of ribs. The sides I choose were sweet potatoes, French fries, Mac-n-cheese and corn bread. The price was pretty reasonable and I took it to go. I live about 5 minutes away, so the food wasn't traveling far at all. First thing we noticed after unpacking it - no sauce. Anywhere. On ANYTHING. Including the ribs. Is it an extra charge ? Did they forget to pack it? Do you have to ask for it? Are they anti-sauce? I have no idea. This lead to a brisket sandwich that was just meat and bread. Nothing else. I figured not a huge problem, as long as the meat wasn't dry. It was horrifically dry. This sandwich had me reaching for a drink the whole time. This could be because they already have the brisket all pre-shredded in a hot tray when you walk in. You HAVE to leave it whole and then cut it as it's bought. Very unfortunate. The ribs were good - but sauceless. Not surprising that the pork and chicken sliders were also dry - and sauceless. Mac and cheese was good, but it did have tiny diced vegetables in it. A little odd, but good. The sweet potatoes were simmering in syrup and sugar. Too sweet for us, but that's subjective. The frustrating part was the fries. I ordered 2 large fries and it looked like I received 1 medium. This medium amount of fries was combined into one tray of fries and was placed for in an all plastic container with lid. This is not a good idea, because the fries get real soggy - real quick. Please put them in a paper bag like everyone else. Please don't short change customers on French fries either. They cost pennies and they make dollars and leave your customers feeling full at the end of a meal. This bring me to the corn bread. Have you ever eaten those mini muffins in a prepackaged bag? Yeah, they're the size of those. Tiny. Once again, how can you short the customer on bread? Corn bread slices should be ample, the cost is tiny to the owner and it fills up the customer. I want to re-visit this place. I want this place to make improvements. I want the owners/managers to read this and make adjustments. I want this place to learn from some mistakes, change for the better, and stay in the neighborhood. Please tweak these complaints and make me change my review and give you five stars. As it stands now, you're at 1.5-2. Star rating for me. Prove me wrong! read more

Eaten here a few times since they've opened. A small cozy neighborhood place that has pretty good food. I've tried a few different things on the menu thus far but I think the brisket sliders are the best. As other yelpers mentioned they do not put a lot of bbq sauce on the sandwiches, to some this may be a turn off to me this is a huge plus. I hate going somewhere that soaks their food in bbq sauce to the point where you can only taste the sauce. My buddy Charlie who is on yelp goes to this place every day so if you stop in look out for him. The owner is also there everyday she is very nice and always trying to accommodate to the customers needs. Nice little place with pretty good food but not the best I've had. I will keep going back. read more

I went to an event that was catered by Nine One One Bbq. We helped the gentleman carry in the food and supplies. The food sat there for about 15 or 20 mins before we ate it and it was still SOO SOO DELICIOUS. We had brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, mac and cheese, Cole slaw, and collard greens. The meat was fantastic, the chicken was a tad dry but I smothered it in really delicious bbq sauce so it didnt even matter (not to mention that chredded chicken dries out really fast). The brisket was so flavorful and juicey. None of the meat needed bbq sauce but it complimented it perfectly. The mac and cheese was not mushy like you typically find and it had a ton of flavor also. I'm glad that im moving to this neighborhood because I will go get some Nine One One bbq again! read more

A coworker came into work and raved about this place. So we decided to try it and to our surprise this place was absolutely delicious. I had the brisket and the three ribs with the Side of macaroni and cheese and french fries. The brisket was absolutely phenomenal it was tender and had a lot of flavor. The ribs were very meaty and very tender. I must admit I was a little hesitant to get the macaroni and cheese because everyone can't make Southern macaroni and cheese. This Mac was a blend cheeses and married to the jalapeño peppers. If you are The Avid Barbecue lover I highly suggest this place. In addition the peach cobbler was the best I've ever had the peaches were not overcooked and had a excellent bite. There was just the right amount of dough to peach ratio. Check this place out guys!!!!!! read more

I had the hot link dinner which I found to be very tasty and satisfying. Food was served hot and the staff was friendly and attentive. Great addition to the area! read more

Love love love,the pulled pork! Great customer service and,met one of the owners who actually took the time to talk to us. Can't wait to go back !!!! read more

When I say it was a sad story when I ate my last rib...my only solace is that I may come back tomorrow. These have got to be the best ribs I have had in my life. I have grown up in Chicago. I have been to St. Louis, Memphis and Nashville and these are hands down the best. Seriously get you some and buy some more but leave some for me! Only thing is they get sold out on stuff it seems so go early enough so that your feelings arent hurt. Also had greens and coleslaw and the greens were great too. I drank the juice. No picture because I ate them so fast and I was hangry. read more

Great place. Well respected staff. All barbecue is gods and very fresh. Would go again many times.

They never have any food! Been here 4 times over the last 6 months and only once did they have what I wanted, this time all they had was pulled pork and no other meat, no sweet potato's and no fries. When they do have food it is good but I'll quit wasting my time and go to rib brothers in Alsip. read more

Exceptional food & service! Enjoyed the rib tips, beef brisket, peach cobbler, greens with turkey meat/cornbread & of course the yams!!!

Tried this new place out, me and boyfriend, he loved the hot links, I mean really loved it, BBQ tips are nice and soft and juicy, sauce is good, not bad, not too spicy or sweet. Not a fan of the Mac and cheese, they said baked potato will be on menus in the future. So in all will eat again since it's the closest BBQ place to me but way better than I expected read more

911 is just what the neighborhood needs. I just finished wiping my face with the included wet wipes they provided after having the brisket sandwich. So my initial impression was the place is modern and clean. The food was delicious but could have used a little more portions, I'm still hungry. You guys are on to something here. Keep up the good work. read more

Love love love this place. Not only fantastic Bbq but love all the sides as well. I got the tips with side of Mac n cheese and peach cobbler for desert and can't recommend it more. You won't go wrong going here read more

I was in the area and I wanted some bbq and I found this place and the reviews were good. I got there around 1:30pm I wanted to order the rib tips, mac&cheese and sweet potatoes. I end up ordering ribs, fries, coleslaw and peach cobbler. They were out of rib tips until around 5pm and there was a 30 minute wait for sweet potatoes and mac& cheese. The food that I ordered was really good and the cobbler was great. If I am in the area again, I would definetly go back there. read more

What a wonderful experience. Friendly staff, excellent brisket, ribs, cole slaw and greens. Said goodbye to us by name. We will be back!

I absolutely LOVE 911 BBQ Shack. I've ordered the rib tips, ribs, chicken and hot links many times since I discovered this restaurant this past summer. The meat and sides are delicious and always fresh. Also, the sauce is amazing. I'm so glad I found this restaurant. The food is great and service is A+++. I've recommended them to a lot of my friends and they all love 911 BBQ Shack too:) read more

Great Food and a good entry in our Food Desert we call Beverly-Morgan Park The service was fast and the food good the portion of French Fries was small for the price This place is a good addition to neighborhood and when the Police Bank moves there will be ample parking read more

I have had the chicken rib tips, ribs, greens and all was delicious. The staff was courteous and the place is very clean. Minimal wait times and no wait time for call in order. read more

I went to this establishment at around 615pm on this past Saturday and they said they ran out of ribs..... I really dislike when establishments don't cook enough food so they can be out the door by closing time! I drove all the way over there just to be disappointed, gas is not cheap lbvs. It was 3 people including me that had to turn around because this smh..... Hopefully they take these things into consideration in the future because I would have loved to try the food.... not sure when I will be able to get back that way...... read more

Before you walk in the door the smell hit you in the face. Food is delicious and the people that work there are super nice!

I had the brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese for myself and a pork slider with fries for my 2 year old. Everything was very tasty and the amount of pork on the slider was surprising. We had to wait for our Mac and cheese (which was delicious), so they gave us delicious Oreo balls for dessert. The staff was very nice. The shack was clean. The food was tasty. We will be back, but probably for pick up. We had a total of four adults, one teenager, two 2 year olds and one 10 month old- we took up the entire place and there were no baby seats. Glad we came though! read more

The sides are some of the best I've ever had! Had Mac and cheese, Greens, and sweet potatoes. We will be back!

The food was great! And the owner or manger had fantastic customer service. One of the younger employees told me that they were out of two of the items I tried to order, so I said "okay nevermind then, thank you" and left. When I got to my car the owner or manager came out in the rain to tell me that they did in fact have what I was trying to order, and it would be on them for the inconvenience! That is how you handle things! My family's first time there and we will definitely be coming back! read more

Been coming here for a few months for lunch and have not gotten sick of eating here. I took a month off cause I was fasting, and came back and they added more sides. I promote the heck out this place so when I went back I noticed he got busier. You're welcome, my store is in Morgan park where they have I-57 BBQ which is horrible. I'll convince 60643 to see you soon. 16 years in the community they trust my restaurant choices From here to oakbrook and downtown. read more

Today me & hubby visited this place for the first time one of my husband friends told him the food was good.Well the food was a big disappointment I ordered a medium rib tips macaroni and cheese And a peach cobbler. The Hubby ordered barbecue brisket and greens the brisket was cut to thick and had no flavor my rib tips must've been boiled first they had so much fat on them they were not cut like tips because the meat was so soft when I pick one up to eat it was just fat I had to pick from the meat.The tip was Soak in grease it was a A nightmare to eat. I threw most of it away and still got a stomach ache from the grease.Will not eat here again.And my husband greens were the last that they had the man gave him from the bottom of the pan and they were salty. read more

Great bbq and I have been to Texas and had some of the best bbq in the world. The ribs were full of flavor and the mac and cheese, delicious! Greens, delicious! Everything was fresh. Place was clean, staff wore gloves and masks (during COVID). Will absolutely be back. Prices are very reasonable for the food quality and portion. Keep up the quality and I will be back. read more
