Very good meats. Without any doubts, one of the best BBQ places in Illinois hence my review is very short since there's not muchore to say. Reason for 4 stars is service which needs to be improved by couple notches and also, homemade bbq sauces were good but too salty for my taste.
For being a small barbecue restaurant it had amazing tasting chicken wings just the right amount of crispiness My crew and I stopped there for lunch was not sure how fast it would be because we get 30 minutes for lunch And we got our lunch very quick The establishment was kept very nice and neet if I am working in the area again I will definitely stop for lunch again or dinner...
Yuk...This place is not worth a drive and really mediocre BBQ. It's also really dirty inside, I've been here 3 times and ordered for fairness in writing this review and I can honestly say. Skip it.First it's unclean they really don't care about their customers or their restaurant. Their prices are really HIGH $$ for nothing special in the BBQ game. My food tasted like Open Pit BBQ sauce was poured on it.My second visit for breakfast was worse. I couldn't even eat my Burrito it was so dry and poorly made. Seriously how can you screw up a Burrito?? The staff at the register don't even want to be there.There are a lot of other BBQ places... pass on this one.I'm sorry Earls we like to support local small places but you really need to clean up your act... literally!!
Was craving rib tips. Ive drive by this establishment all the time. Im pretty picky about my tips so never went in. Thought Id try it out today. The tips were nice, tasty, and tender. The order came w fries, a piece bread and a pickle slice. It was all so good. Will be back again.
I got priced out and didn't end up becoming a customer.I drove all the way over there thinking that the prices were going to be what came up on Google Maps where it would be $24.95 for 4 meat platter items where those 4 meat items would be 2 orders of brisket and 2 orders of salmon: and the sides were going to be $2.95 each. However, when I arrived, the prices were all a lot higher! $27.95 for the 4-meats platter and $4.25 per side. Also, at the same time, they said that I could not even order it this way and that I'd have to opt for two 2-meat platter orders at $17.95 each! (The menu online saying $16.95 for the 2-meat platter). So, instead of expecting to pay (($24.95+$2.95+$2.95)x10.25% sales tax)=$34.01, it would be (($17.95+17.95+$4.25+$4.25)x10.25% sales tax)=$48.95!! That's $14.94 extra! (or 44% more!)
Very fresh and flavorful. 4 piece platter fed 2.5 adults. Brisket and pulled pork was my favorite.
Recently visited Earl's this past Sunday with my cousin. It's been a while since I had any good BBQ and we decided to go to Earl's. We arrived after an hour of them opening, so there was no wait, and the food was EPIC. We ordered a large order of Rib Tips, Smoked Wings, Baked Beans, Mac N Cheese, Coleslaw, and French Fries. Everything was tasty and fresh, no complaints, and we went with the Honey BBQ option for the sauce. Both the rib tips and wings were smoked, juicy, and tender. The Mac N Cheese, was cheesy, creamy, and not too salty, and that seasoned bread crubs is very good. The coleslaw is creamy, cool, and works well with what we ordered. I was really impressed with the french fries, they were perfectly made, cripsy, the right amount of salt and they actually tasted like potatoes! Out of all the sides, I would have to say the Baked Beans were the best of them all, so much going on there and it mos def takes you to flavor town! There is a small amount of indoor seating, not the best for comfort and there is outdoor seating as well. They provide plenty of napkins because you will need them, LOL. I totally recommend, great prices for the amount of food you get. Great service. I'd have to say it's the best BBQ in the North Side of Chicago. I will be back for some more for sure!
Ordering a barbecue pulled pork sandwich make sure you buy your own barbecue sauce or have some in your home if you order for delivery because there is none on the sandwich. I just feel it's inedible for me to eat I have a weird thing about food and there's white and and black pieces of stuff all in it and I'm not sure what it is I wanted to love it and I can't I can't even eat any of it the fries are delicious
We order from Earl’s all time time. Just got the sweet potato fries for the first time. There is an up charge for the smallest amount of raw fries. I’ll stick to beans next time. ?
My first experience there and it was disgusting. The rib tips were cold and old. They were also hard to eat. I was recommended this place, and I orderedt two orders of rib tips, and had to throw them out.
