Nine One One BBQ Shack

The food is amazing the good problem is the will and do run out...service is equally on par! Great people great food...be patient it's worth it

Randomly came upon this place after having cravings for some good BBQ. This little gem is definitely worth trying! It's parking lot accessible for a few parking spots available in front of the restaurant. It's little seating outside and in the foyer after placing your order. The ambiance is simple but nice, & most importantly clean! Prices are also very reasonable and get a good portion for the price you pay. Unto the food! Everything is served fresh, & hot. Food is prepped per order which is definitely a plus. I tried the medium rib tips which came with a side & coleslaw, at the time they didn't have coleslaw so you can replace it with another item. I'm not a big fan of everyone's macaroni but this here was bomb!! &, the baked beans were bomb as well. Now these rib tips are definitely the staple! Juicy, flavorful, tender & fye! The bbq sauce is not too overpowering but gives that extra kick. Customer service was friendly, & straight to the point which I personally like. I waited no more than 5 minutes & was out the door. Overall I will definitely return & try other items on the menu.

I drove a Long distance, because they're spaghetti is so tasty, only to find out that it is only served on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Very disappointed

We thought the food was fantastic. Meats, sauce and sides...which is not always the case. You usually get 2 of the 3 in our experience. Hope to get back again.

I was in Chicago from Texas Jan 2024 visiting family members and yes it was cold, got hungry. I happened to be browsing social media saw this placed so I grabbed my sister we went to check it out passed it by the first time turned around parked walked in we were greeted by the owner he explained what he had and how he cook his food for the day.So we tried the chicken and chopped brisket along with the sides and let me tell you it was delicious.I wanted ribs but he was out we showed up a hour before closing (early bird gets the worm).This place is on food list for the next time I drop in on the Windy City.

Make sure you call before going there, i stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and they were closed , sounds like that kind of inconsistency means the food is probably not that reliable, I'm staying away

Food was fallen off of the bone the barbecue sauces the best this is hands-down the best barbecue place in the city of Chicago! I advise everyone to stop by they close when they sell out of the food so you should go early!

Today was my last visit to this establishment. it's not because the food isnt good but they are always running out of rib tips in the middle of the day. I travel a distance just to go there to be disappointed so many times........and there have been several times. So maybe that's a sign that I don't need the rib tips anyway. But for now I will not be making a trip to 911 Barbecue.

Food is consistently delish, service is always excellent, and the space is super cute. I believe the true test of good bar bq is being able to eat it naked (sans sauce) and it still make your eyes roll! I also love their mac n cheese (never dry) and greens. My only gripe is that I think corn bread should be included with the meal and especially greens. Be mindful that they are open until they sell out. Last week I called at 3 p.m. on Friday and when I arrived at 4:30 p.m. they had sold out for the evening. Nevertheless, my food was fresh and delicious as always!I won't say this about many places as there are so many restaurants in Chicago but this one is wort a drive if you don't live in the area.

A very dear friend of mine recently tried this establishment, and although I've known for years that he doesn't eat pork, I decided to try this "BBQ Shack" because he gave the chicken a 9, and the food overall an 8.5, on a scale of 10. My friend THANK YOU and I concur with your assessment, though I'd rate Nine One One BBQ Shack a 9 out of 10 due to the EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE.The chicken was off the charts good; tender and moist, even the white meat! I really like the Mac and cheese also. Sauce yes, but the fries not so much -- seemed like fake potatoes. The corn is sweet and tender, but still has a crunch. The beans Beans were well seasoned. The Coleslaw seemed prepared in-house--very well seasoned, and they were quite delicious. The rib tips are a bit salty, tender and not overly fatty. The ribs were surprisingly delectable. Like most take out establishments, the food needs to be warmed to be at its best. Outstanding chef!
