Scraps of ribs opened it and thought it was Pulled Pork , Horrible old scraps
Supposedly slab of this meat was boiled cold and no taste
a tray of fries and bacon
a plate of food with a fork in it
Got a side of BBQ sauce for my catfish fillets. Such a nice size container of sauce which is rare and much appreciated! #yum
Meatless tips
Mini wings
Large Rib Tips with mild sauce. Comes with fries and bread. So meaty, minus much fat on them. Yummy sauce.
Tried their huge catfish fillets this time. Some of the best catfish I have ever had! So crispy & flavorful!!
Chicken wings with mild sauce. Nice sized, crispy with delicious flavor. Comes with fries and bread.
Meatless bones
They gave me the wrong order. They WASN'T WILLING to do NOTHING for my inconvenience, but give me the order I paid for. #UNHAPPY

I'm gonna give this awesome review with my fingers crossed that my great experience with this place lasts. I've returned after soso food from Best BBQ. Previously, the service was subpar and the ribs were slightly edible. Fast forward to now: this may be Chicago's best rib place. I've been twice within the last month and the ribs are tender down to the last morsel. The customer service is great in-person and over the phone. Recently someone asked me where to get good barbecue and I stated, "I don't know anyplace consistently good." That is, until now. Best BBQ also has I-57 Smokehouse on their signage to make sure you're in the right place.The hot links are the best ever. I hope this great food and excellent service continues because I've told everyone to try Best BBQ.

IT WAS THE WORST!!! I hadn't been there since Covid. I thought they had closed for good. I found out they were open. So I went for the 4th of July. The wait was long, ok I get it, it's a holiday. The food, I was so disappointed and livid. I live an hour away. When we got home and opened the bag, the portion size was so small but paid for the largest size. It was nothing but bones and sauce. Barely any meat. Almost nothing! It's nothing fancy on the inside. Just a bbq joint.

I went to I57 smoke house for lunch today. I ordered a small Turkey tip..I'm at work about to eat...so I thought... I opened it only to see these large things that look ribs...and they were tough to chew.I called location, spoke to "Derrick" who states he's the General Manager, but is unable to make things right. I ask for the store owner.. this fool said the store owner only comes into the store between March & June, and he's unable to give me his name or contact info.It's always a disappointment trying to support black businesses.#I57smokehouse

otherwise known as I-57 Smokehouse across from the longtime veteran, I-57 Rib House that used 2 b goodwell.. it was an exciting day as we decided 2 do a taste test by getting ribs here 2 go n comparing it 2 another competitor.. competitor's identity kept secret.. this place won; although, it had a honey taste 2 the bbq sauce, it was more meaty n tenderAlso, I got 1 question Yelp.. can't u add that 1/2 star rating 2 ur reviews? b/c I don't feel this place is necessarily 4 star like I'm a fan.. it is more like it's between ok n goodChank Q

I come here for the hot link sandwich. Get it with hot and mild sauce. As far as food is concerned, it's delicious. Let's get something straight: When you order a hot link you're really not concerned with your health. Anyway, the average rating results from the wait time. It's not a matter of preparing the food fresh it's a matter of incompetence on the employees' part. You might wait 10-15 minutes for food that's already cooked and just needs to be packaged.

This was once my go to spot for BBQ. The name needs to be changed to Worst BBQ. I purchased a full slab of fat for $26.99. Never again, I'll get in the back yard and make them myself (in the snow) from now on!!

I canceled my 40 dollar order because of the extremely nasty attitude of the person taking my order.

Don't waste your time going I57 Smokehouse BBQ. The rib tips are tough, unchewable and burned. I will have to throw my food in the garbage .. Called, and spoke to rude Nick, when I placed my order. He will hang up on you. I had to call back.Called couple of days later, still trying to eat this tough mess. He told me he was sorry. I wonder what sorry do. He will give me a discount on my next order. But on this $16.53 order, I guess too bad. No adjustment. Why would I buy anything from them again. Spoke to Nick again.Prices on the menu online is not correct.

Best BBQ/I57 I JUST spent $28.00 on a full slab of ribs. Mistake this slab had been boiled not cooked on the grill.Wouldn't recommend this place to no one.
