    Real DownHome Cooking!

    The BBQ was Deliciously Kick-butt and the "Bomb"!! Tasty Smokey and Awesome!! Josh the Owner on hand serving it up and diving into his BBQ Monster Pit!! Yummy finger smacking good!!

    Charging more than what the price they had on their generic menu at the Jazz Ribfest. Price gouging taking advantage of customers.

    It's nice to support our own but when you have an ignorant worker some big black lady on the far right side when you walk up to take your order... who said at the Jazz and Ribs Fest this past Sunday and I quote "dang brother you're not going to tip a sister" I was embarrassed for her saying that out loud like she was going to get a tip after that. The tip that I wanted to tell her was that "to never asked for a tip, always let the customer tip you no matter what!" I always tip at the end to see how polite and what service I receive. But, I left it alone because, I never want to deal with somebody as ignorant as her. Also, never get the chicken wings way too salty and some very strange seasoning. I'm glad I didn't get the ribs. The seasoning was way too salty and crumbly they tried to do too much.

    Small rib tips - $6.00

    Three visits later and the most memorable thing is the friendly service. Great conversation and plenty of samples are a nice touch. Unfortunately, I come for good BBQ and I have not gotten this here. On all three visits I've experienced overcooked meat. The rib tips were tough and the wings were dry. The meat had no flavor besides overpowering BBQ sauce. It didn't help matters when I watched one of the cooks remove a large piece of meat from its wrap and toss it directly on the grill with absolutely no seasoning whatsoever. No rub or brine? I wasn't impressed with the sides either, industrial size canned baked beans (visible open can) with no doctoring up of flavor and very odd tasting coleslaw. Sadly the convenient location and truly friendly service is not enough to make me return.

    Since your business name is "Taste of Chicago" (which…read morescreams of Italian beef), and Italian beef is actually mentioned on your site, it's nowhere to be found on your damn menu. Goodbye.

    I don't know when they first opened but thank God my son told me about this place. As much as I…read moredrive by it on Livingston, I should have seen it by now. But that's the only problem they have; if you aren't looking for it, you're probably going to miss it, being recessed among the other businesses. And good luck on the parking. There's not much room, which is a greater issue if that club next door (or 2 doors down) is jumping. And now the good news. I was loving that Chicago-Style Italian Roast Beef sandwich. It truly reminded me of home. Unfortunately, I had to discard most of the hot peppers because the grown version of me can't do it like the teen version. Temperature hot and quite flavorful. Just remember that if you take it home, you'll get that mild sogginess in the bun from the juices and the travel time. I also purchased the Catfish Sandwich, which as good, but not quite the texture I prefer. Not that it took away from the sandwich at all, still, I had to try it. I bumped them from a 4- to 5-star rating because we ordered the German Chocolate Cake and as we were walking out, we noticed that they forgot to include it. After walking back up the counter and informing them, the gentleman apologized and gave us TWO slices. Kindness goes a long way, BOTH ways. Definitely worth checking out. We will be back.

This time I ordered the Sloppy Joe and the Chili Dog again. This time I got Baked Beans and Greens for sides. He deep fries the Hot Dog and then grills it and adds the sloppy Joe mix on top. It makes for a nice slightly crunchy hot dog with a slight crunch to it. The Sloppy Joe was on a premium bun and had great flavor to it. Yummy!!! The baked beans had a slight sweetness to them. Now on to the star of the show which was the Greens. They had a slight bite to them, so tasty with a bit of pork thrown in for extra goodness. This is the type of small business we have to support. Making great food with homemade goodness. Check them out, no disappointment here.

    This place picked a good name because it caught my eye from my love for sandwiches. It is hidden…read moreaway within Whitehall, so I can see it being a decent travel for many people. All of the items on the menu looked appealing to me, but the menu needs work. It has items on it without any description of the items. For example, my turkey sub had banana peppers on them. I like banana peppers, but I know a lot of people who don't and can see that being an issue. I ordered online through the business DoorDash partnership, which created a cold interaction with the person working there. He kept telling me to show him that I accepted the order on DoorDash, and asked if it was my first day since I couldn't find the button. I then told him that I ordered the food for myself and his demeanor changed completely and was extremely nice and gave me the order. I have heard of DoorDash people scamming businesses so I understand his caution, but it could have been handled better. It would probably be best if he just asked if it's a carry-out or a DoorDash order. The inside is essentially just a giant kitchen and counter, so carry-out is also the only option. I ordered a turkey sub, coney, and a side of coleslaw. The order was completed in 9 minutes, so keep that in mind if you have a far drive. The food was very good. Probably one of the best conies I have had. It was all very warm and flavorful and had the right balance of everything. If I'm in the area I'd like to try more of their menu.
