    TaylorMade Q finally lured me in to try this Q. I didn't have anything to eat today so I could come ready to eat. From the time I walked through the door it was a pleasant experience, beginning to end. My order was taken by the owners wife. I'm sorry I didn't get her name but she was exceptionally pleasant. I also got a glance and a few words with the owner, I assume Mr. Taylor. Also a very pleasant man. I understand being in business can try your patience ESPECIALLY dealing with hungry people but I got nothing but love for this Black Owned business. I got something new called the "Grown Man ". According the wife people had been asking for something with bigger to try a little of everything. This includes Wings, Tips and a Link. It was HUGE. DEFINITELY ENOUGH FOR 2 but really only enough for ME!!! Let me say this did not disappoint. The tips are moist and meaty. The cut is lean with just enough fat for flavor. I mean once I started eating these tips I didn't want to stop. The wings were crisp and delicious. I loved them. They were well done, not dry, very crisp and tasty. Whatever batter they use , it can't miss. The link was a little lean. It was tasty but it lacked the flavor I expected from a hot link. To me it was more like leaner polish.. I am not here to take anything away from the link. It was tasty but if given a choice in the future I would stick with the Wing/Tip Combo. The overall food experience was EXCELLENT. For me, this is definitely a repeat choice. I want to try other things on the menu to see if they are just as good. The pictures floating around Facebook are on point. You get that look and the taste/flavor are definitely there! If you are looking to try a new Q place, make no mistake, TaylorMade Q is the spot. Don't sleep on this place. Go now, get it! If you get the same service and food I got today, you will find yourself trying to find a reason to return. It was worth it and every penny. I couldn't eat it all in one sitting but I did try.

    Online ordering that employee stated isn't there

    I've ordered from this place numerous times, never again. There is something wrong with the delivery app, I'm ordering at 5:15pm and after 30 mn and speaking to one female who answered and a male who stated his name was "James" and he's been there 3 years and it's never happened before. He says customers can't order online...He knows nothing about STOREFRONT FOR DOORDASH. Then tells me I should have called my bank...After placing the order and my money processed, a notification pops up stating...Your order will be delivered tomorrow at 11:00am. Of course, Manager/Owner is out of town. Neither person took my name or number to pass on. Then he tells me it's never happened and tells the the owner gets all orders through her email, so he insinuate I'm lying after stating that the WEBSITE IS OLD! So, that's My fault as a customer. Yes, I know what to do, it shouldn't have come to that. Resolution and Customer Satisfaction is always the goal. Oh, and he slammed the phone down in My Face!

    First time here. They were open before listed time of 2pm. A good thing. The smoke smells are great as you entered. Trying the Single Trio. Will return with my updates on taste and presentation. But so far so good. Food is good and customer service was very appealing.

    This is the menu from Taylormade que Tip and Wing Combo,

    BABY WHEN I TELL YOU THIS RIGHT HEREEE!!!! This was the best barbecue I've had in years. I thought…read moreMr.Tendernism was in the back grilling. TOO GOOD. 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.

It has a rustic country atmosphere and is also pretty dark inside. I got the oyler sandwich which has pulled pork and a sausage link. It was HUGE. I could've only gotten that and I would have been full. The frito pie was so good (it reminds me of a walking taco but in a counter)(it was kinda spicy tho). The pork ribs were also good but I didn't try the Mac and cheese or beans so i won't comment on those. Overall service is fast but our total price was $63 which is kinda high for what we got imo.

When I find myself thinking of a return trip while still there, you know for sure Offset BBQ delivers! I ordered the All Beef Platter, and got the Brisket Chili (upgrade) as my side. The sausage was fantastic! It had a snap which made all the Chicago Hot Dogs within a 20 mile radius jealous. Inside was a maximally savory, salty but not over-salted filling. The kind of meat that needs no sauce. Then comes the brisket! A lovely piece of meat that was so tender, looking at it and licking my lips caused the meat to start falling apart. I also loved that it was a good balance of meaty and fatty bits. However, there is a small 'but' here. For my taste, the brisket needed a very light sprinkle of salt. No matter, with the help of the sauces the brisket leveled up enough to take on any boss battle thrown at it. Speaking of sauces: The KC Style and Hawaiian were both good. Both were sweet, and had some tang, though, it seemed the KC had a slight edge in the bold department between the two. A sauce I loved though was the Chicago White, a fantastic Horseradish and Mustard sauce that was unique, interesting, savory, fresh, and a little spicy. The kind of sauce I want to buy a container of and take home! For my side, I upgraded to the bowl of brisket chili. I loved this so much, I may just order this as a main on a return visit. The chili did not at all skimp on the meat, which was tender and flavorful. The use of beans, corn, and veggies were there to help accent everything else, and were themselves cooked perfectly. Kudos also for the inclusion of a couple pickled jalapeno slices. My heat tolerance may be too high to feel a burn, but the crispness of acid did wonders! The included coleslaw was one thing I did not love. I appreciated that they were not heavy handed on the mayo, and the dressing overall was light in quantity and consistency. However, the cabbage was sliced as if by a sleep deprived stagiaire who has yet to master knife skills. The slicing was terribly inconsistent, with some pieces being way too large. For dessert, I ordered the Blueberry Handpie. This was so much better than expected! The crust was flaky and wonderful, and the filling had plentiful sweet blueberries. This dish also excelled in its execution. The cast iron pan kept the pie warm, and the ice cream was such that didn't melt right away. I also loved that the blueberries weren't screaming hot and exploding with lava. When it comes to the service, the bar-server was fantastic. She was kind, friendly, and attentive. Food came out pretty fast, too, considering how fresh everything was. Finally, while I did not make laps around the entire establishment, the vibe has just the right intersection between BBQ and Rock & Roll, with the music playing at the perfect volume to be appreciated while being not at all intrusive. Final verdict: There are many who sing the praises of Smoque BBQ, which is a great spot. However, between the two, I prefer Offset. Other than a sloppy-chopped Coleslaw, the experience was fantastic not only in the food, but in the execution and the thought put into the experience.

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. Once I realized it was the closest to me and offered a plant-based option, I knew exactly where I wanted to order from. 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.
