We ordered the brisket, baked beans , and ribs. The brisket was juicy and tender. It was delicious!!!! I do wish it was more hot temperature wise. The brisket got cold quick. The ribs were my favorite! I wish we got three orders of them. They were perfectly tender filled with flavor. The char on them had the perfect smoky touch. The baked beans were delicious, they weren't too sweet but they were filled with a slight sweet note that I believe comes from the pork bits in it. So good! We enjoyed our food with the spicy barbecue sauce. I highly recommend that barbecue sauce! Total we spent for all that was around $55. To drink I had the bourbon sweet tea. 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 large menu sign was easy to see and discern what to order. I got pulled pork, brisket, sausage, fries, and corn bread. No play by play needed. Each item was excellent in its own right. My favorite was the brisket and sausage. Brisket packs flavor upon flavor. Sausage was smokey, peppery, but not too spicy. Definitely a place to check out to fulfill your bbq needs in Chicago!

Our server Daniela was sooooo sweet, and so knowledgeable, about the gluten free options, of which there are MANY. She just has the kindest energy.

She guided us thru the order process, and answered every question with patience and kindness, which we really appreciated. Some servers can be SO RUDE when you are dealing with true allergies, and she was so wonderful to us! The vibe is amazing. Great Playlist, super comfy booths. A really nice environment for sure! The food was absolutely AMAZING! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Not one bad comment to make! We are going to comeback, and bring the rest of the family! We are super excited to return! Thank you for the amazing experience Smoke Daddy and wonderful Daniela! We appreciate you!

Anyhoo, I got a rack of baby backs that were a vast improvement. Meaty, tender and moist with a tangy sauce. I only saved the last 4 bones because next day ribs are always a treat.

The brisket was moist, not too fatty but lacked smokiness. The turkey had the smoke, but was right on the edge of dry. Overall, a solid BBQ joint.

Unfortunately, they have not been set up properly and don't have all options available (I wanted to order a single link on the side and this option was not available on the kiosk). A worker there offers to take my order on his register instead. On the kiosk, the Oxtail dinner is supposed to come with two sides. It wasnt until after I got home that I realized I only received one side and it was sitting DIRECTLY under my oxtail - no separate compartment or container. Now my oxtails and bread are covered in cabbage juice and I didn't even get my other side. Manager at the restaurant simply offers an apology, stating that's how they do it, with no other type of remedy. Oxtail dinners only come with 1 side . $40 plus for this. Never again! *3rd pic taken about an hour after I left. I did not reheat it. Simply wanted to show how much fat hadn't even been trimmed off them thangs . *

Waitress was very descriptive with telling us what everything was from the sauces to the sides. When we got the proteins it was game on. The bone came right off the meat and probably was the most tender rib I've had in quite some time. The brisket had a great smoke flavor profile to go along with the crispy outer skin. Well seasoned just wish there wasn't that much seasoning on top of everything. All the sauces had their own unique taste. The sides were fresh and delicious too. We had so much left we took a ton home. Need to try the lamb next time

While visiting my little brother in Chicago, I had to find somewhere good to eat because the foodie in me does not take days off. I stopped by Wilma's and ordered the Happy Hour Turkey Tips & Fries along with a Lemon Drop. The turkey tips were AMAZING. They were flavorful, tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. I'm still dreaming about those turkey tips! The fries were also perfectly seasoned and paired so well with the meal. No notes. I also tried the wings, which were delicious. I still occasionally eat a small amount of chicken, and these definitely did not disappoint. I really loved the vibe of the restaurant too. The artwork throughout the space gives it so much personality and makes the experience feel fun and unique. The staff was also great, friendly, and welcoming. Between the flavorful food, great service, fun atmosphere, and those turkey tips, Wilma's definitely left an impression. If you're in Chicago and looking for some good BBQ, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Just make sure you come hungry!

I really wanted to enjoy my visit to Wilma's BBQ in downtown Chicago, but unfortunately, it fell…read morewell short of my expectations. My party of four visited for Sunday brunch, and the restaurant was basically empty when we arrived. The escalator also wasn't working, which wasn't the best first impression. We ordered fried wings, rib tips, and drinks, but our food didn't come out together. For a table of four, it's disappointing when everyone isn't served at the same time. The biggest disappointment was the lemon drop martinis. After one sip, they were far too tart and overly citrusy for our taste. The glasses were still nearly full, so we politely asked if they could be remade or exchanged for a different cocktail. We were told that all alcohol sales are final. While I understand restaurants have policies, I was surprised there wasn't any willingness to accommodate us, especially since we had barely touched the drinks and simply wanted a different cocktail. As for the food, the fried wings lacked seasoning, and the rib tips were rubbery and didn't have much flavor. Being from Texas, I enjoy BBQ where the meat stands on its own, so I asked for the BBQ sauce on the side. Unfortunately, even with the sauce, the rib tips didn't have the quality or flavor I was expecting. The staff was polite, but the food quality, drink experience, and overall execution didn't live up to the reputation I was hoping for. I hope management takes this feedback as an opportunity to improve because the restaurant has potential.

With me, I don't really gravitate towards it, but I'm willing to try anything once. Unfortunately when it came to the actual food itself, it was pretty disappointing. My husband's food was cold including the Mac n' Cheese. He didn't really enjoy it much. With my food which is the Loaded Fries, it was warm, but I thought it was ok. Coleslaw wasn't bad though. Now for pricing, considering most of the food was cold and my Loaded Fries only had a few fix-ins...if I'm being frank is a bit pricey. Which is surprising since we see a good amount of the chefs in the establishment making fresh batches of food. Overall, would we come back here? Maybe.

Welp, let me tell you...There are several bbq joints in the Chicagoland area, so what sets apart the good from the mediocre is having great customer service. I recently ordered from Lexington and had multiple aspects of my experience go south. Only to be told, "have grace" for THEIR mishaps. No attempt to make the customer "whole" or repair the damage. It was suggested by a friend that I should speak to the owner. However it was the owner who provided the poor customer service. I told all of my coworkers to go support this business and now I have to backtrack and tell them otherwise.
