Rickettes

The food is so good here! I had the rib tips and chicken wings, and they do not disappoint. This Chicago-style bbq hits all the spots. The service was top notch, and I even had the chance to meet the owner. 10/10 highly recommend!

BLUF: this lace is absolutely amazing and LEGIT Chicago-style food.I was greeted promptly when I entered both by the wonderful lady working the counter/register AND by the owner who was also working the back of the house. Genuinely nice and friendly people. Service was excellent and prompt. Food was hot and delicious. If I lived here, I'd eat here often! Don't miss out, try this place!!!

Parked right in front went in spoke with a lady and a man (presumed to be owner) couldn't have been nicer people.Never seen or thought of turkey tips but without hesitation ordered and was able to try a sampleTo ensure I was pleased.I got the turkey tips and wings with fries which were all amazing. The sauce is really a hit although not much is needed, it definitely takes to the flavor overboard. Looking forward to trying them again soon.

I visited today based on tons of positive IG posts I've seen. When we entered we were greeted by a gentleman at the door who was extremely polite. We advised him this was our first time visiting and he then introduced us to the owner who was equally polite. My sister and I both ordered the 4pc Dark Chicken Special for $7.99. Each order came with 4pc Dark Chicken; fries, roll and a can soda. We asked for sauce on the side not on the food. The chicken was cooked fresh to order 15-20 mins wait which we had absolutely no problem with. There's nothing like fresh cooked to order food. When we got home our food was still fresh and hot. The chicken had a nice crispy crust and tasted as if it had been brined. The fries were tasty as well. I have to be absolutely honest, there wasn't anything that jumped out at me that made the food special. The price is unbeatable. Where can you find a 4pc side and drink in Atlanta for $7.99? The food definitely wasn't bad and I'll return soon to try other menu items. I love supporting black owned businesses and truly appreciate the friendliness and customer service Rickettes have. That alone makes this place stands out and will make me visit again.

I woke up Saturday wanting barbecue. I don't know why but I thought about this place instantly. I had been wanting to try out this place after seeing them on Instagram. The place is in Greenbriar Parkway literally 2 miles away from my location. Luckily for me they were on Uber Eats. Yes! I ordered a Rib tips & Wings Combo$18.50. 3 wings, Tips, fries and rolls. Mild Sauce and Barbecue Sauce on the side. The food container is completely wrapped in heavy duty foil to avoid a mess. They included napkins and fork. Thank you because most businesses do not include utensils for take out. The wings were well seasoned not overly salty and very crispy. They were so good. It reminded me of Philly style chicken wings. The rib tips were meaty. Not super tender and not super tough. That was good for me because I like my ribs kind of chewy. I also could tell they were smoke in a grill not oven baked. Real barbecue. The bbq sauces were so good, you could just continuously dip or pour it on your food not to mention licking your fingers. Food was enjoyable. I will return.

I've had Rickettes bookmarked for a while after seeing it on IG so when I was near the area on Sunday I decided to check it out. The restaurant is take out only. The lady who took my order was friendly and gave me some recommendations especially for the sauce. I ordered the turkey tips & wing combo that comes with fries. I told them to put light sauce on the wings & the turkey. No sauce on the fries. I also ordered a side of green beans since they were out of the mixed greens. When I got my order the container was wrapped in foil to keep the sauce from spilling out. It also helped keep the food warm. I had over a 30min drive to my house. The sauce was good, but it was a little too much for me. I would have preferred to only have it on the turkey & not on the wings. Next time I'll definitely get it on the side. The wings & fries were good.

Service here is very friendly. The cleanliness is also impressive. We ordered the Chicken and Fish. Disappointed because we were told it would be catfish, and it was definitely not. The chicken was fried well and had a great flavor(did notice the grease flavor was a little less than fresh). Will return to try the Turkey Leg!

As a Chicago native I'm always excited to try places that have food from my hometown. I was referred here from another ChiTown native for a good place to grab bbq.We ordered Turkey Rib tips , Italian beef, Mac and cheese, with greens. The Turkey rib tips changed my whole perspective on BBQ! It was that good! Come with fries and a roll. If they wanted the real Chicago touch it would've been two slices of bread. Lol, but still good nonetheless. The Italian beef is was just ok. Typically when you order an Italian beef from any place that sells it, you have the option for the au jus (dip) on the side. This place has to dip it since they don't have styrofoam, which essentially made the sandwich very soggy.The sides were very delicious! The greens with turkey meat was my absolute favorite. I took a star off cause the menu was just so extensive, and the cashier had no idea what anything was. It happens. Also took the star off because the sandwich was soggy, although the flavors were good.I'd definitely come here again, and recommend it to anyone who wants good Chicago bbq!

Victoria and Boss Man are the best! Customer service is phenomenal and the food is delectable! 3 Pc dark meat with the sweet candy yams and the roll were delicious! Can't wait to come back and try something else!

Taste like I'm on the west side of Chicago. Great people! Great food! I'll definitely be back soon.
