    Large tip and fry after eating quite a bit.
    Tracy S.

    Quaint eatery with seating. Warm welcome when we walked in. Was advised of there many delicious offering. Nice size portions.

    As most days food was ok. Today... the greens and baked bean were coursed and undercooked. My ribs were over cooked on one side and my bread was soggy drenched from the sauce.... Couldn't enjoy it! Sanders you're falling off and sloppy presentation today I was not a happy customer. Customer service was amazing though!!!!

    Really good bbq and worth the travel if you aren't in the neighborhood and looking to get your hands on some good bbq. Staff was friendly and the place was clean so that's a plus. Portions very good sizes for the prices so you'll definitely feel you get your moneys worth.

    Food was pretty good. Not sure I agree with NY times ranking amongst best restaurants in the country but I was satisfied. Wanted to try the cornbread but during my mid afternoon visit they were sold out. Wings weren't overly sweet & they definitely were bigger than party wings. Corn had a smoky & slightly spicy element to it which separates it from thousands of places in terms of corn. I'd return if in the area. I'm no bbq aficionado so take my review with that in mind.

    I heard quite a bit hype around this spot so I had to come check it out. This is one of the only bbq places in the area that was serving smoked oxtails. I'm used to places in Chicago having the typical rib tips, links and ribs. The place was hopping on the afternoon we went. Luckily this place is deceptively big there is seating in the front room, middle patio and back party room. The line moves pretty quickly. You'll take a number with you to your table and they'll deliver the food right to you. Despite being busy the staff was all very friendly and patient. We ordered the oxtail, ribs, sausage, and brisket. We ordered the elote, greens, beans and Mac and cheese. We really like the ribs and sausage. The oxtails were a little greasy like there wasn't enough fat trimmed off before they were smoked. It also had the taste of the smoker like it should have been cleaned. The brisket was decent a little tough though. It may have been sitting in the warmer too long. The greens were a little salty and the beans were more reminiscent of chili beans than bbq baked beans. Overall it was decent, but I'm not sure it lived up to the hype given. I would come back to try the burger though.

    Stopped by Sanders to grab lunch after craving some rib tips. I preordered for take out and my order was ready by the time I arrived. The lady working the front was friendly and offered to grab extra sauces for me at the station before leaving with the food. When I got home, majority of the food was still hot. I ordered a small rib tips w/fries, 1/2lb of brisket, pulled pork sandwich, and brisket sandwich. The portion size of the rib tips was more than I expected but appreciated. They weren't the meatiest pieces I've ever had but with there being so much I was satisfied. I asked for lean cuts of brisket which seemed to be honored. Overall the food was good, I'd go back it just wouldn't be my first choice.

    greens, beans, cornbread,rib tips, sausage, brisket, pulled pork and ribs!

    Ordered online with a 30 minute pick up time, food was ready when I arrived. Decided on the platter that feed 2-4 and the large tips. The tips were good and juicy but I didn't care for the sauce on them. The brisket was flavorful with a nice mix of fat and meat, the sausage was great, ribs were tender and smoked well, the pull pork lacked any type of flavor. My sides were greens which were seasoned to perfection, beans that were tasty and the cornbread which I loved. The sauces leave a lot to be desired but the meat is good even without the sauce. Overall good spot with good smoked meats!

    This is a true south side gem. For anyone looking to better explore the city, make Sanders one of your first stops! The ambiance is modern meets down home BBQ. The staff are very friendly and willing to walk you through their menu. The real star of the show is their FOOD! We had the chimichurri smoked wings and fried catfish. The wings were legitimately some of the best I've ever had; juicy, flavorful, and the order is a great size. The catfish breading is super flavorful and the fish is fried to perfection. Don't miss out, visit Sanders ASAP!

    So my son is a huge fan of Sanders and I was craving a cheeseburger made freshly not pre-formed from a package. Accordingly I ordered a Smoked Cheeseburger without their house sauce and with fries, the Texas Trinity 1/3lb brisket 1/ 2lb rib 1 sausage, and my son a Smoked Cheeseburger with Elote. Given how outstanding the service was at the start talking to a pit-master over the glass while in line and a really pleasant young lady at the register, the praise stops there. Burger came without the fries and it took 15 minutes to get the staff to bring me French fries!!!! The burger tasted like it was seasoned with cayenne pepper and was way over smoked to the point of being completely dried out. The elote was disgusting -- it was so salty it was not edible. The Texas Trinity saved the meal although I agree with Rozalynn B's comment about the sausage. The place is much more spacious than it appears when you walk in, and there is more indoor seating past the outdoor dining area.

    Came on a cold rainy Saturday with my husband around 6:30pm. Luckily line wasn't very long and we found a table easily. Friendly service. We ordered the ribs, beef rib, and peach tea wings. The sauce on the wings was excellent and my husband really enjoyed the ribs. The beef rib was pretty fatty but had good flavor. We were only disappointed that they were sold out of the brisket.

    Trinity platter $30
    Rozalynn B.

    Drove about an hour just to check it out. Here's my take: It's ok, not going to drive an hour for it, but if I was near here I'd partake again! We came in on a Sat afternoon at 1pm. The line was already out of the door. I wasnt aware of how the line forms, but it did move quickly. Once you're reached in line you order quickly! You find seating or wait on your carryout. The place is small, and it was PACKED! But we got seated and they brought our dine in food out to us on trays. Everything was fresh and hot. We ordered the Trinity platter, it includes ribs, brisket, & a sausage link. We ordered the smoked oxtails and the beef short rib. Various sides which were priced ala carte. Greens, mac, cornbread, baked beans. How'd it taste? Oxtails, which I love, weren't great! Good idea, but not executed properly. Beef short rib was good! Not $42 good tho, for 1 bone. Sausage was ok, could've been more well done. I didnt try the brisket or ribs, heard they too were just ok. Sides just ok. The service was good. That's all I've got! Enjoy

    Alesha W.

    That meat was like BUTTER!! Sooooo delicious and filling! Between the two of us, we didn't even make a dent in it but it was so fantastic and fresh. We wanted to try the beef short rib but came close to closing time and it was sold out so I'll definitely be back for that. Super cute and simple decor with a lot of good seating. Parking is on the street and it was clear but I'm sure parking is probably right at earlier times.

    Ribs had the right consistency, but the meat wasn't seasoned. I wouldn't have minded if they had given me sauce, but they didn't.

The bartender was a bit rude. I feel like my drink could've been made with more love but it did the job. My drink costed about $17 I will be coming here again. There was ample enough seating. It's beautiful coming here at night. From the scenery inside you'll feel like you're in a movie. This experience fully blew my mind.

The place didn't smell like bbq food which makes me think that the food is not made at the store itself... ended up ordering the BBQ Pork Char siu ($11.95) which was luke warm and was ok. Also got the salt and pepper chicken box ($12.95) which was also luke warm and the rice was dry and not hot... Maybe this was an off day or the food was premade and just heated up but I was def disappointed. Or maybe I had high expectations prior... If I visit Chicago again, I might try the other location, if they make the food on premise.

I am pleased to report that Blackwood BBQ is somewhere between "good" and "very good". It won't knock your socks off, but it is nowhere close to "bad." It's perfect for what it is, that being: a spot for a bite during the lunch hour. On both visits, I ordered the two meat platter, with brisket and sausage. Both were flavorful and savory, with the brisket being balanced in terms of meaty vs fatty (as requested). Now, that said, the prices at Blackwood are on the high side. On the one hand, I know the price of a pound of ground beef is greater than the minimum wage (as of this writing). However, I also can't help but feel the punch to the wallet when two meats and one side, where one of those is brisket, and a soda comes to somewhere between $20-25 (I think it's close to $25, but don't want to misspeak). Half a pound of meat is not a lot, making the wallet punch even worse. Then there comes the service. Most of the folks working here are professional and welcome. There is this one person, though, whose level of gruffness seems a bit high. It wasn't so much a lack of pleasantries for the sake of efficiency as it was annoyance that customers exist? Final verdict: If you're working in the loop, and craving BBQ, Blackwood is a rock-solid spot, but the high prices mean it likely isn't practical for a regular spot. If it's a weekend, there are better options out there.

This women-led restaurant in Chicago is renowned for its mouthwatering barbecue, brisket, and soul food sides, making it the ideal spot for a meal on Juneteenth.

I ended up ordering the smokey joe sandwich (vegan sloppy joe sandwich), with a side of mac + cheese, and a sprecher soda. Whether I'm using Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it's so convenient. I also want to praise my delivery driver for arriving at a reasonable time with my order and meeting me right in front of my residence. Grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again is very high. As for my order, my first response after my first bite of the vegan sloppy joe was, "Mmm, that is good!" If you are a foodie like me, then you know what the next few minutes--or, better yet, seconds--consisted of. Yes, I pretty much devoured that vegan sloppy joe, leaving nothing behind but what was left on my fingertips. The last time I had a vegan sloppy Joe was a few years ago in celebration of my birthday, and trust me, it wasn't as good as this one at Soul & Smoke. It could easily be confused with real meat if you aren't aware that it is vegan. I saved the side order for last, which was that delicious-looking mac and cheese. Mmm... "Oh my God!" was my initial response after my first forkful, which was lightly seasoned with a delightful taste. I must say it was the perfect side for the vegan sloppy joe. After my last bites, I had the slightest grin on my face, and the only thing on my mind was that I will definitely have it again in the future. The sprecher soda - cherry cola was the perfect complement to my meal. Introduced to me by Soul & Smoke, I am so pleased with this award-winning craft soda from Milwaukee's oldest craft brewery that I will be on the lookout for it in the future. I would gladly order from Soul & Smoke Avondale again, whether online or whenever I am in the area. With that, I am happy to share my endorsement of it with you all here on Yelp.

Up until four years ago, I used to visit at least five or six times every single year. Last night was my first time back since then, and I was deeply disappointed by how much the standards have slipped. The entire evening felt incredibly rushed. The person taking our order seemed to be in a massive hurry, acting short and dismissive with us. To make matters worse, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill. While I understand this is becoming a common industry practice, a gratuity should ultimately be an option based on service. The server did mention at the end that we could have it removed if we wanted to, but customers shouldn't be forced into that awkward position in the first place. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has also gone downhill. I always used to order the ribs and frequently took extra food home because it was so good. Last night, the food left a lot to be desired. The barbecue simply isn't what it once was. When my uncle graduated in the 90s we went to your previous downtown location.He loved the restaurant as well; the food, the exceptional service, and the warm atmosphere. I went there year after year. While I respect that they have managed to stay in business for 30 years, there were just too many issues with both the service and the food for me to return.
