    Beef Brisket Sandwich with French Fries
    Kristal M.

    I've been coming here for years and for the longest time they only took cash, but now they take debit and credit! The food never disappoints, the barbecue sauce is the best. Also, one side of the restaurant they have an aquarium I didn't take a picture of it but it's so awesome.

    This place was delicious. The ordering process was easy and well organized. It may seem it was a long line but it wasn't. There were more people doing carry out. The place wasn't bright but the room decor was filled. A few tvs and employees bustling around, serving, cleaning and helping. When I got to the table someone came by to ask if I wanted bbq sauce. I said yes. They must keep tabs on the bottles because as soon as we were done someone came and picked it up right away. We ordered the pork chop dinner and beef brisket dinner. The pork chop dinner came with 2 chops and a few pieces of bread. The chops were thick and tender and delicious. The sides were simple but also good. The beef brisket was sliced thin. It was a couple ounces but didn't seem like much meat. It came with a piece of corn, 2 pieces of garlic toast and the sides I wanted. This was plenty to eat but wished the brisket were thicker slices or had a little more meat. I will be back to try other things but glad to have made it here.

    Ribeye Steak Burrito Dinner Wednesday
    Daniel S.

    Well known BBQ restaurant in the far south suburbs. Their BBQ dishes are all good. I got the rib tips and liked them. I did try something different the next time I went, and tried the ribeye steak burrito. It wasn't bad, but not on par with their other signature dishes. It's best I'd say to stick to the more traditional barbeque dishes. All the sides I've tried have all been good too-the fries, the curds, the mac n cheese. The inside is nice, a good western decor. Your order at the counter, and then they bring the food out to you. A pretty big parking lot so that shouldn't be an issue. If you live nearby and are a fan of meats, then it's definitely worth checking out.

    Pay attention to what be charged for!

    Went with a large group of family members to celebrate a birthday. I ordered the ribeye dinner special and my husband ordered a full slab of ribs dinner. They asked what side we wanted and I asked for Mac and cheese, for my soup the cream of chicken, and a baked potato. The hubby had red potatoes and Mac n cheese. Mac and cheese lacked any real flavor tasted bland. But the kicker was they charged each side as additional charge to the dinner price which was suppose to be included. My husband didn't bother to question until I asked him. We drove 45 minutes and don't plan on going back. Steak and ribs were good. Most family members ordered the pork chop and they were happy with it.

    Amazing place. Food came out so quick! You get lots of food in your order. You won't be hungry.

    Huge & Tender Pork Chop Dinner

    I have seen this place for years and never stopped by to try it, but today was the day! I ordered the grilled pork chop and it came with two sides. The pork chop was grilled to perfection and juicy. It was probably the thickest and juiciest pork chop I've ever had. The red potatoes were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the green beans, but they have other sides to choose from. They were bland to me to be honest. Their service is amazing. They must always have pork chops on the grill because I received my order about 2 minutes after placing my order. The food was hot, so it wasn't like it had been sitting there for awhile. It was definitely fresh. The inside is pretty large in size, but it's very dark inside. If you want to take pictures of your food I would recommend takeout.

    The juiciest best tasting pork chops I've ever had. They look and smell just like rib eye steaks. I highly recommend them to anyone.

We visited on a bustling Saturday afternoon. There were several people already in line who were still looking at the menu, so they told us to cut the line. My sister and I both ordered the chicken kabob plate. Neither of us are big pita fans, so we didn't eat that, but everything else was delicious. The chicken was well cooked and succulent. The rice and potatoes were both seasoned to perfection, moist, and tasty. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good everything tasted. The salad was great too. It was fresh and offset the carbs perfectly. I had the Italian dressing which had a light and refreshing taste. We ordered takeout and ate the food a few hours later. It warmed up well at that time and the following day. The portion size is extremely generous, so there's enough food for a few meals if you tend to eat smaller meals. The restaurant is bright and comfortable. The service was fast and the gentleman that rang us out was very friendly. Both plates cost about twenty dollars, which is very reasonable for lunch. I'll definitely visit Just Kabob again!

I now alternate…read morebetween a regular sized pastrami (no onions) and a king sized ham sandwich (no onion) extra cheese. Both are delicious. The pastrami's is just too filling to get as a kind. But the ham is perfect for one meal now, and one in a couple hours. The only negative thing I have to say is that they don't let you substitute a topping for another topping. I feel like I should be able to substitute sliced pickles on the sandwich for the onions I have them remove. In my mind, those are equivalent, but I understand that they need to make money where they can. So, if I'm picking up a sandwich on my way home, I just add the pickles at home. If I'm taking the sandwich to work or elsewhere, I have them add them...because I love pickles on a sandwich!

This one stays open until 7:00 p.m. during the week! When I first walked in, I had a terrible experience with Brittany. She seemed very preoccupied and when I asked her to explain something on the menu, she told me "it's pretty much what it says." When I expressed my displeasure with her response, she grabbed a menu to read it explaining that it was just added to the menu as if that excused her behavior. This left a very sour taste in my mouth but because I had a meeting, I sat down after ordering a pistachio latte. The Latte was amazing! Before leaving I ordered a second one, but I stayed and spent the day working. There are plenty of seats and there are a couple of really comfy couch spots. After a few people left, I was able to move to one of those spots and felt right at home. After Brittany left, I was able to relax a little bit more and had a very productive work day. The music is louder than I like; I had to take two business calls and both times they mentioned the noise level, but other than that,I love this spot. It is across the street from the metra train station where parking is free, so I don't anticipate ever coming here and having a hard time finding parking. I ended up eating lunch here and had a Cuban sandwich which was so good! And it was huge... So I took half home for dinner. The south suburbs need more places like this! I can't wait to come back.
