I don’t eat barbecue but my friend who was in town wanted some for the 4th. So I found out Germatos would be open and I decided to give them a try based off the great reviews! So glad we did! I live in the area and have drove past this place plenty of times, but it is always smelling so good! I had a chicken gyro meal which was delicious! My friend ordered a rib tip combo and said it definitely hit the spot!
I love the ribs and the sweet potato fries are just the way I like my fries hot and crispy . The best BBQ in Naperville. I’ve had the pull pork as well . If something isn’t right they will do their best to fix it.
While my pulled pork sandwich was delicious, it was also the messiest sandwich I have ever eaten. Too much barbecue sauce on the meat meant that there was also sauce all over the bun and the basket holding the sandwich. While it's hard to complain about too much meat in a sandwich, this one was so overstuffed that it was impossible to get my mouth around. I ate a lot of the meat with a fork before trying to pick up the sandwich. The bun was so messy that I ended up with barbecue sauce all over my face and hands and my shirt. Made me wish I had ordered a pulled pork plate instead of sandwich. The messiness of the sandwich made it hard to enjoy.
I usually do my own BBQ but felt lazy today so we ordered some BBQ from @gematosbbq in Naperville and it is delicious. Highly recommend the ribs, rib tips and the BBQ chicken. The sides were delicious especially the Grecian potatoes. Will definitely order from here again.
Have MERCY!!! Is all I could say after eating the Beef Rib tips.. I haven't had "Tips" in over 15 years...And living in Dallas all they know is "Pulled pork and Brisket" ..and to each is own..But nothing is better than so.e good Beef Rib Tips.. everything was good..And during my 3 day visit in Chicago,, I came to Gemato's twice!! ? great food.good.. good people .."I'll be back" ...
One of the best bbq places I've been to in awhile. The ribs fell right off the bone! Everything was delicious. I got the sampler platter and each part was equally appetizing. Will definitely be going there again!
Always a great deal, Gematos offers flavorful delicious plentiful BBQ at a fair price. You go here for the food, not the fancy walls. Always busy and can be a long wait but worth it! There's nowhere like Gematos! Yum!
The food tasted great, but I feel like the portion size for the price isn't great at least on the brisket. I ordered 1lb of brisket carry-out and it turned out to be half fat. This photo shows all of the fat that was left after I finished the actual meat. The meat was still tasty, but I think I'll try another item in the future.
Rib tips didn't disappoint!! Loved their fried mushroom too, not too much breading
My favorite BBQ place in Illinois, no, in the USA! I have lived in 4 different states over the past 20 years and have not been able to find a better BBQ restaurant than Gemato's. I go here at least once every time I visit Naperville. I buy bottles of their sauce to take with me when I leave. Go to Gemato's!! I recommend the take home special #1.
