BBQ so good that even though we live in Iowa my husband put their phone number in his cellphone. We may be planning our travels around Woo Woo's in the future. read more

This place is a straight-up trap. Granny always said, "Roll with pigs and you get up dirty," and that saying fits this situation perfectly. I came here to support the business and walked out with my car gone. The towing setup is predatory, lightning fast, and conveniently aimed at the very customers spending money inside. Whether the owners are "aware" or pretending not to be the result is the same ...dirty and unethical business practices. You've got multiple restaurants bunched together, but suddenly they want to be "discretionary" about parking? Park one space too far to the left or right and some invisible, lurking tow vulture swoops in while you're inside grabbing food. Seriously he's sitting back in a cut "waiting". No warning. No grace. Just gone. A $240 bill from a hole-in-the-wall chicken spot is insane. Not to count the $30+ spent on the food from "Woo Woo" Ain't NO chicken and ribs worth that!! By the time I got my car back from a sketchy tow yard way out in Markham (stay alert out there), the food was trash!! Dry chicken!! Fries shriveled up!! Ordered a chicken and fish combo the fish tasted like fried brown paper towels dusted with Lawry's. If a business profits while its customers get ambushed, that tells you everything about its integrity. This is not community-focused ‍it's exploitation, plain and simple. Save your money. Save your car. You can get hot fried chicken anywhere, and Harold's sauce is sold in stores now. Never again. Just my luck trying something called "Woo Woo's" ... you'll be saying "woo woo" alright when you came with chicken money and leave $240 lighter‍ Thank God I was able to get my car back, but I thought about the mom with 6 kids who probably can't. Or the hard working father getting off work from 60 hour week and all he wanted was some hot chicken and to get home and rest and make the last dollars he got stretch it til payday again. I know everyone not as fortunate as I am and that is a reality for some, especially in that neighborhood. But make no mistake they know exactly the community they serve, and this setup is intentional exploitation. If we don't stand for something, we'll fall for anything. #Integrity read more

Woo Woo's Barbecue - Chicken Wings Near Me - Sauk Village, Illinois

Let's hop right into it. I will not, I CANNOT mince words. I WILL SAY, there is this unspoken "understanding" with most that there is always a wait with Ribhouses/Rib Joints. I will not debate all the reasons as to why this is the truth. But let me take you down a review of a continued disappointment in the restaurant of Woo Woo's . 1/31/25 Called in an order for a bucket of ribs mild and 2 6-piece wings(sauce on). Order done. I get a call back to tell me they wouldn't be able to do the order for the bucket,but could do 2 large tips. Alright(was my response). 45min to 1 hour wait. Alright. Well... The wait was over and hour. And they didn't even have 2 large tips to give me. No explanation. What was said? "We have a regular tip and a large and we can comp you for the large tomorrow if you come back.." Even after the phone calls placed regarding the order. *sigh* The prayer is that this food we ordered would be worth the waited time and slight inconvenience. Wings- Didn't come with sauce and were over fried. They kids did not like. *sigh* Rib tips(pictured): Fries were old, some were hot, some were cold. Some could be eaten, some couldn't. I have no idea what that was about, but it is what we received. The ribs were over sauced in my opinion but were not bad. The pieces that I could eat,were tender. The pieces I couldn't eat were over cooked(hard or burnt ) and there was more bone just slathered in sauce. As I type this review it is 2/1/25,and I am literally standing (back) in the restaurant waiting on a rib tip owed that I called in a 5:36pm. It is now 7:43pm. Everyone Angie the cashier/order taker speaks to, she tells them an hour wait time. Angie speaks to everyone very nicely. But Angie DOES NOT TELL THE TRUTH TO ANYONE IN THIS PLACE. TODAY OR YESTERDAY. Yes, I get it. It's a ribs place. Cool. I won't argue with anyone. But NO ONE should wait like this. NO ONE. I have dined at amazing places all over the world and have never had to wait on PORK SMOKED OR GRILLED like this. This entire experience was trash. There is no other way to say it. There is no other way to report it. And I know, there are hardly NO BBQ spots around here. It is the south burbs. I have not bene this infuriated in such a long time. For pork? Lol No. Never again. NEVER EVER AGAIN. I cannot support nor encourage the disregard of people's time. No matter how BASIC a ribs tip is. Lastly, (again, I called in to pick up what eas owed to me at 5:36pm). It is now 7:49pm and I am still standing here. *rolling my eyes* Blessings. Now sitting in my truck at 7:54pm Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!! read more

When they first ordered...food was good and tender...fast forward being in business a few years now...wait time is extremely long...the quality and quantity of the food has gone down tremendously...the rib tips are mostly bones and the chicken can be overly seasoned and considering the prices have gone up...I would have like to seen the quality stay the same or even improved but it hasn't.. in the words of Randy Jackson its a NO from me dawg... read more

Very good food. I got the steak burger with spicy barbecue -- solid choice. I also tried the chicken wings with sauce on everything, and they hit the spot. The rib tips with sauce on everything were just as good. Service is great. There's a small waiting area with some arcade games, and while the wait times can be a little long, that's expected with this type of food and service -- nothing out of the ordinary. The owner Charles is cook, and Angie at the register has top-notch customer service. She's always got great energy and a positive attitude, and honestly, that alone will keep me coming back. Definitely gets four thumbs up from me. 1 read more

A lil tough, but still delicious. Took some time also. But probably was short of staff.

Great tips and wings. Service maybe slow but your order is fresh and well worth the wait. read more

Please give the man time to prepare your meal! THIS IS NOT FAST FOOD. Yes, you will need to order 2 hours in advance for a large order. Why? Because the owner is personally making sure every detail of your order is perfect and delicious! It's funny how a celebrity chef or trendy restaurant can tell you to wait and you jump right in line, but when a member of your own community decides to honor you with culinary greatness - you start a stopwatch! If you like good food, Woo Woo's Bar B Que has you covered. If you just want to complain about wait times, your favorite McDonalds aint far away. Have at it! Maybe your McRib is back. Yummmmm! Wait. Do you even like good food? Probably not. Food Lovers will love Woo Woo's. Here is an example of how you help instead of complaining: If you know a local Chicagoland content creator or if any of you specialize in organizing small restaurant ordering processes... Respectfully stop by this location and partner with the owner. Problem solved. read more

Food is really good bbq it just takes forever. Even if you placed the order 1 hr ahead of time it'll probably still take 15 mins more at least when you arrive. When I want their food I just have to mentally prepare myself to wait. Would get 5 stars if timing was better but the food is most important part at end of the day for me. I have no complaints with that part read more

Typically BBQ spots will have a decent wait. I expect it, but it's ridiculous here. Everytime I come it's WAY longer than expected. It just took more than 2 hours for a tip link combo. This don't make any sense! Then they just hit you with a "yeah, we are running behind." Wtf. Horrible service. I hate to say it, you should throw something in, offer to cancel the order, something, but to have people sitting around is CRAZY! Then it's not like this is the safest area. You can go to other spots and it will be long, but not this long. I can understand big orders, but something that should be a lunch special is WILD. I promise. I will never come here again. Wilma's never fails. Chicago Pit Stop can be bad during the holidays but not this bad, otherwise it's not bad at all. All Out in Park Forest is good time. Next time I would rather go to Jewel and order a boiled pack in the meat section and microwave them. That's how sure I am that I will never touch them again. Let McDonald's have a rib sandwich, I will buy 4 of them and serve them on a plate, before I touch this again. read more

It's the BEST BBQ out there, but I wish the wait wasn't so long. I think they need to hire more cooks. Also, make sure you park your car in the allotted if not your car will get towed. read more

Call ahead is the name of the game here. I ordered the chickens wings and cat fish, rib tips both came with fries. Next time I will pass on the chicken and the fish. It looked good but surprisingly had little seasoning. But the rib tips were just fine. They had flavor and the sauce was good. The Mac and cheese had a nice taste with a hint of garlic. Of course I added my own salt and pepper as that is my personal preference. Also the fries could use a few more minutes being cooked again a preference. I would order the bbq and Mac and cheese again but skip the rest. read more

Terrible sense of time here at this place. The lady looks bothered at the front desk. Grub hub, Door Dash etc. orders will be backed up so expect a 10-15 minute extra added on the time it takes to get there and deliver. read more

I've been waiting 2 hours for an order of turkey tips and an order of turkey links. I door dashed because it used to seem like I would get my order faster doing so versus calling in or walking in. Today I'm very disappointed. My wife called after waiting just over an hour and was told our order should be coming right up. That was an hour ago. We live about five minutes away so delivery time isn't included in our wait time. 2 dashers left. We're on our 3rd one. Called again and was told my order is next up. This is my last time ordering from here. I'm ready to cancel my order and just wait the week for my refund. Finally got my food after waiting just over 2 hours. My large tip looks like a small, no forks in the bag. No bread with the links. Really not many fries with the link order. I'm not satisfied at all. Never again read more

This weekend my family and I had Woo-woo's. We ordered 50 wings and a large family size pan of fries with lemon pepper and plenty of mild sauce on the side. I first called about 11:15 am and the young man that helped me let me know that even though they didn't open up until 12:00 noon, it would be no problem taking care of our order. And take care of us he did. When we got to Woo-woo's at about 11:50am, we waited about 5 minutes and he was pulling the chicken out of the fryer. He wasted no time ringing us out and was courteous while doing so, graciously thanking us for being a patron of the business. Now, the chicken? Grrrrreat, delicious, scrumptious- a 10/10!! Ok, ok, it's fried chicken so I don't want to overstate things. However, this chicken was among the best I've had in a great while. It was fried so pretty plus the breading was crispy and well-seasoned. In fact, we were smashing so hard that five minutes passed before one of my nieces asked about mild sauce for her fries. We had left the sauce in the car but the chicken was so fye, we did not need it at all. And I say this as a person that loves fried chicken drizzled with mild sauce and set on top of white bread. None of that was needed. My nephew had been in whining about wanting chic-fil-a all morning and looked let down when I came in with the Woo-woo's. 20 minutes later, I caught his lil behind standing over the garbage can trying to grab up the last little crispy bits of batter before tossing his plate. My pleasure, lil buddy. Lol. We usually go to sharks up the road but I decided we should support this local small business in our community and I am so glad we did. What we got was good food, great service and a new go-to place for chicken wings and fries. I hear they serve barbecue too. But this chicken is so good I may never find out how the barbecue tastes! read more

My husband and I ordered a large hot link and large rib tips yesterday evening. they told us it would take 20 to 35 minutes. it took them 1 hour and 50 minutes to get our order ready. The food was just okay. the tips were cut very small. Some of the customers were not happy at all including us. we will never order here again. read more

I had 2 large rib tip combo with links, and a 6 wing with mild sauce. I've been coming here for over 2 years and I've never received bad food. The links are all meaty and juicy and not burnt nor are they dried out! The customer service that I receive from what I believe is a family owned establishment is nothing but super sweet, GOD FEARING professional, and they are tentative of the detail with getting my order correct is always a plus the only thing I would suggest is that you strongly call your order or if you're able to order online I suggest doing so only because there can be anywhere from a 30 minute to 1 hour wait especially if they're super busy. read more

This place never fails no matter if I order online or in person the wait is always crazy this would probably be my last time giving them a chance I ordered at 6:05 and at 6:55 I'm still waiting you try to support but at some point it's not worth it and you can't get a refund if it's ordered online y'all have to do better read more

Today was my second time placing an order. The food is very delicious! I ordered wings with sauce both times...and let me just say they are "finger lickin good" I gave my review 5 stars because the (2) young men that run the establishment are both so respectful, pleasant and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend "Woo Woo's Barbecue"!! read more

Woo Woo's smoke is without question the most consistently good barbecue joint in the South suburban area. The Mile sauce is outstanding, the rib tips are always tender and the food is made to order every time. The owner and staff are always kind and willing to accommodate customers. The only critique I have is that wait times can be a bit long. Perhaps the team should consider adding personnel to accommodate busy times, but This is literally the only complaint from an otherwise outstanding barbecue spot. read more

Good food is worth the wait. I don't care about the wait time, it's always hot fresh and delicious every time.

Very good the rib tips were very tender and the hot was right on point I will definitely be going back!

Wait times never are accurate. The food is not Nasty but not the best . I feel like they give me a lot of rib tips that are mostly bone which is not good . Fries are lacking. Cashier was on her cell phone not attentiv, asking me any questions or anything . Told me coming up when I asked how long and ended up being 18 minutes even after coming when they said it would be ready. Guy cooking always seems in good spirit . They need a better cashier . read more

They have some good food the ribs are so tender I haven't had a bad batch yet so far so good I love the barbecue ,sometimes it's hard to get through especially if they busy but other than that be prepared to wait for some great barbecue call ahead that way you get your order and you don't have to wait in line but I live around the corner so I always called ahead but not the food love the food they keep on want to talk but I say that I like the barbecue already so why I got to keep talking read more

I was at Woo Woo's yesterday. We used to go in Lynwood, IL all the time, but we live a ways away now, so we patronize Woo Woo's every time we get a chance. The wait was long, because I went at lunchtime during first opening, but it was SO worth it. And they have a TV playing my favorite Disney shows. I got the BBQ rip tip bucket and it had to be the most delicious thing I've ever tasted, just as I remembered it...Definitely BBQ addiction.....I could not stop eating it. And the workers are very nice. Five stars for sure. read more
