I got a chopped brisket sandwich, sliced brisket sandwich and a full slab of ribs 75.00 spent. Chopped brisket was like bacon and super dry. The guy open a newly wrapped brisket to slice one of my sandwiches. Totally dry to the point we had to lots drink water to get it down. I tried adding alot of bbq sauce so it could go down. This has never happened before. The ribs were over cooked the outside was hard. Not sure what's going on but I noticed different workers and maybe something has changed. I called back to complain and was not offered a refund or something else to replace the food. Times are difficult and we don't have money to waste on food that's not edible. Wasted money...

This time I got a 2-meat combo with a small side. I opted for brisket and pulled pork for my meat and Mexican Street Corn (Elotes) for my side. Soon after it came out (fast service for sure!) and I added to the meat one of three different BBQ sauces (sweet). Oh man this hit the spot. The meat was tender and flavorful, the BBQ sauce added so much to it. And the Mexican Street Corn was also on point with the right amount of mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and spices. It was a great meal with decent portions...made it all worthwhile. I'll gladly come back here again for more. Note that they do have many options including daily specials. Today's was three Street Tacos for $12.99

The ones you could chew were great. It's 2026 and I went to try the barbecue again at the Juneteenth celebration in Bolingbrook. I ordered a half slab. Needless to say it took forever for them to get me my order and on top of that when I got it, the ribs were not chewable. To add insult to injury, I did not have any tools to separate the rib bones. They should've been cut at least halfway through to separate the ribs with your hands. Plastic utensils given were meant for soft foods not tough ribs. There was supposed to be sauce on them, but I didn't see any. This is my third visit to uncle Booker's barbecue and no more ever again. You just may get some inedible ribs that you cannot chew and I do have good teeth and some will say it's not chewable at all. Needless to say I did what I could with them, but most of it is going in the garbage. You have been warned. This cost me $22.43. And oh.... The line got really long to place an order and it really is not worth the wait.

Rib Fest Review: Hell's Kitchen BBQ - 4.5/5 Stars…read more I recently attended Rib Fest in Chicago and made it my mission to sample barbecue from several vendors, including Robinson's, Texas Roadhouse, and others. One stop that truly stood out was Hell's Kitchen BBQ. The first thing I noticed wasn't the food--it was the energy. The team at the booth was welcoming, enthusiastic, and clearly proud of what they were serving. Their presentation was also impressive. Unlike many of the other vendors, they displayed exactly what customers would be getting, including portion sizes and plated examples. As a customer, I appreciated that level of transparency. I ordered the rib tips and fries because I had already purchased ribs from another vendor and wanted to compare different offerings. While I was waiting for my food, I struck up a conversation with the owner. When he learned I had ordered the rib tips, he smiled and said, "The tips are great, but you should have tried the ribs." When I explained that I was trying food from multiple vendors, he graciously offered me a sample. What impressed me wasn't just the sample--it was the generosity behind it. The portion he gave me was anything but small. Afterward, I tried both the rib tips and the ribs. The rib tips were outstanding. Tender, flavorful, and seasoned so well that they didn't need sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor. The ribs were equally impressive. Smoky, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce had a little kick to it--something spice lovers will probably enjoy. While I personally prefer less heat, the spice wasn't overpowering and complemented the smoky flavor well. The fact that the ribs came fresh off the grill made the flavors even more intense. The fries were standard fries--good, but the star of the show was definitely the barbecue. What ultimately elevated this experience was the customer service. The owner was kind, approachable, and genuinely passionate about his product. That level of hospitality leaves a lasting impression. Food: 4.5/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 Overall Experience: 4.5/5 If you see Hell's Kitchen BBQ at an event or have the opportunity to visit them, I absolutely recommend giving them a try. #RibFest #ChicagoFoodie #BBQReview #SupportSmallBusiness #FoodReview #BlackOwnedBusiness #ChicagoEats #TheSpedWhisper

Tried Hell's BBQ for the first time and overall had a great experience…read more I ordered to-go, but the small dining area looked clean and welcoming. As soon as you walk in, the counter is on the left, and they have a display plate behind glass that gives you a visual idea of what the meals look like--which I thought was a nice touch. They offer a good variety on the menu. I ordered brisket, a smash burger, rib tips, and ribs. The brisket and smash burger were excellent--definitely the highlights of the meal. The rib tips and ribs were good, though the ribs were a little on the dry side. All the meats had great flavor overall. Personally, I wasn't a fan of their BBQ sauce, but that comes down to individual taste. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu--especially since quality BBQ spots are hard to come by in this area.
