    First time customer, greeted by the owner and wife. They were very friendly. Offered me samples of the pork rib tips, greens and turkey tips. I ordered large tip n link combo. Very good tips you can taste the smoke flavor and tender. Links were very good kind of dry. Greens were very good, corned bread w good too. Hubby got a steak burger he liked it. I will be coming back again to try other things. This is a little hole in the wall but good food. Little pricey but you get what you pay for. I don't mind paying for good food. I drove 25 min to them. Give them a try and their black owned.

    Mac and Cheese

    I decided to go to Rib Brothers after hearing their ad on WVON radio. I phoned in my order I was towed to the order will be ready in 15 minutes, and I arrived in 20 minutes later it was hot and ready to go. I ordered a small rip tip, Macaroni and cheese and a peach cobbler on the side. However, I was too full to eat the peach cobbler so I'll have to attempt it tomorrow. But it smells delicious. The owner, Mike, and his wife were there. They're very kind and very knowledgeable about the Barbecuing Business. I will gladly return to their restaurant again. JR

    Rib tips, greens, mac n cheese, and cornbread

    Just ok..Mac and cheese is loaded with black pepper so I couldn't eat it, greens were just ok..cornbread taste like refrigerator..but hey I gave it a try, just won't try it again. Small family restaurant and it's not the cleanest place either

    This is what was left of my quarter chicken meal. Bbq sauce on the side. Smoky and delicious!

    This is the some of the best bbq I have had in Chicago, period. I have had Smoque, Blackwood, Lem's and the late Uncle John's but Rib Brothers definitely hold their own. I only wish they served brisket. Their rib tips, however, were super tender, moist and seasoned perfectly. The smoky flavor was right on point and balanced perfectly with their tangy yet slightly sweet sauce. As other reviewers have mentioned they put a Cajun seasoning on their fries and fried chicken wings that is delicious. It really compliments the food. We also had the mac and cheese which was good along with the potato salad. The standouts were the ribs, links, and wings. I can't finish this review without mentioning the outstanding service here. There were two girls there, I believe the daughters of the owner, and they couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. They offered me a free sample when I told them it was my first visit. This will definitely be my go-to bbq spot!

    Burnt Bbq and faulty container

    I had a delivery from this establishment. I ordered a link and tip combo. The tips were tough and burnt. They also packaged the Bbq in a paper container. Once I removed the food from the bag the bowl began to fall apart. Stop being cheap. Bbq should be in styrofoam packaging! The only think eatable was the cole slaw and potato salad.

    The rib tips were good, very tender and the sauce was good. This was my second time here, and its definitely a winner.

    The food was amazing. I'm just upset that it took me this long to stop and try their food.

    Go at your own risk. I've been ordering Uber Eats from this place over the past two months now…read more This was my first time actually going to the place. They do cook all food fresh to order but the fry cooks eat back there and they put on their gloves after eating they don't wash their hands and then put on gloves. The manager does not speak good English and he got my order wrong and tried to blame it on me. I had to go here after work to get the correct order. So if you have been placing an order order with the black lady she's the only one who speaks proper English in there and will ask you the right questions about your order because I don't know who the right mind is ordering fried fish with bones in it! Other than that the ambience is typical for a sharks place. There was no lingering funny smell in here though. I did eat my food after complaining about the glove situation. My food was good as usual. I just had to see how they run business for myself here.

    Normally the food is OK but I ordered some catfish tails and I told to fry them hard and what do I…read moreget when I get home catfish tail so fried hard they're crumbly and they're dark and I to complain and they told me oh we don't have basically eat those and be happy how you don't have when it was 10 o'clock when they open 11 o'clock when I you don't have no more come on they have terrible customer service. They don't want to return your money when they mess up and he was like well we could we cooked them not hard obviously they don't understand what not hard means I should've went to the one on 175th and Kedzie what they do right how do you like them?
