I moved up here from the south almost 4 years ago and this is my go to BBQ joint. Whether it be for a meal or a pound of pulled pork to make Brunswick stew. All of the sides are amazing… Mac n cheese is a must. Pulled pork, wings, smoked chicken, turkey… it’s all great. I also just recently accidentally placed my order for pick up instead of delivery. When I called, the staff was amazing and sent my food on its way. I paid cash for the delivery fee and they were super fast. Great place, amazing food.

Everything with great including options for kids. Place is clean and staff are friendly. Sometimes the sides aren’t great at BBQ places but the beans, coleslaw, corn and corn bread were delicious at Wrigley!

Wrigley BBQ is one of my neighborhood favorites! The food is easily the best BBQ in the area. Quality meats and spices, and delicious sides taste delicious every time. The service is fantastic. I am always helped promptly, and am often recognized and greeted as a local.

Good BBQ. But $ 8.95 for a mediocre, smallish pulled pork sandwich is a bit much! I’ve paid far less elsewhere, including home in Texas, where it’s much, much better.
Not worth the price!

First time eating here and loved it. My friends were in from out of town to see Blue Man Group and just happened to pick this location by shear luck. My boyfriend was annoyingly wrapped up in trying to finish a level on a video game at his place in the Gold Coast area and then decided we were taking bus instead of driving so we made them wait 45 minutes for us. (That is an argument that will be dealt with later) The owners were AWESOME about letting them wait without ordering food. When we got there and did order the food was awesome! I had the nachos, best I’ve had anywhere, my boyfriend said the chicken wings were great. My friends said the ribs, burgers and salads were great too. This is defiantly a place I’d like to go again.

Lately I was craving some rib-​tips and I decided to check this place out. I wish I had more good things to say, but this place left me unsatisfied. Let me first say that the half rib-​tips are way too overpriced for the amount I paid. I didn’t get nearly enough pieces for my buck and by the end of my meal I felt unfulfilled. The quality is just okay and this place left me questioning if their quality was as good as some other places I have been. I do like the 4 different sauce options with the ribs. All in all, I’m not sure if I will come back.

I’ve been here several times, every time the service and staff are great. The food is always tasty and I always leave happy, it’s BYOB so you might want to stop at jewel next door first :)

This is my favorite BBQ place in Chicago. The service is always fantastic, and the food never disappoints. I usually go with one of the platters (pork, chicken or brisket) with sweet potato fries and macaroni and cheese. You can skip the bun unless you really want to make it a sandwich, as it’s your standard hamburger bun.
The flavor of the meat itself is pretty good, but the sauces are where Wrigley BBQ really shines. Texas habanero is the perfect amount of flavorful and spicy, and the Memphis sweet is great for those who want some sweet to go with their savory meal. Do yourself a favor and skip the ketchup if you get fries and dump some of the sauces on. You won’t regret it.
This place is BYOB as well, so if you’re in the mood for a beer or two with your BBQ, stop on by the Jewel next door. Sadly, I no longer live near this place, or it would still be on my short list of frequented restaurants.

I say hands down the best barbecue joint in Wrigleyville /​Lakeview! Just a short walk away from Wrigley. The atmosphere and décor is very rustic, with great food.
The food was tasty, especially the Ribs and wedge salad.

Not very impressed. My boyfriend and I made an impromptu stop at this spot as we were in the neighborhood. The chopped beef was bland and really fatty and the turkey was also bland. We tried all 4 sauces at the table 2 were very watery, the best was the Texas habanero. I will
Not be coming back.

Good food and free wifi. Can’t go wrong wi th that. I had the ½ chicken and smoked sausage, with sides of Mac and beans. The chicken and beans were 9/​10, however, the Mac and sausage were 6.
Customer service was fantastic. Plus they have free wifi.
Prices were about what you’d expect at a bbq joint, so no comment there. I did find out that they deliver, so that’s real nice. Will probably return to try their smoked wings.

Typical northern attempt at BBQ. Meat was OK, sauce left a lot to be desired. Sides were sub-​par. Relatively expensive, although that’s generally true for BBQ anywhere. Not worth it.

Garbage.
For $ 13.00 I can buy higher quality crud from McDonald’s.
Don’t get the side salad, don’t get the Mac n’ cheese… don’t get why they charge $ 13.00 for garbage.

I live right around the corner from Wrigley BBQ and I was very excited to have a BBQ joint within walking distance. I had so many great expectations for this place just by the restaurant décor alone. After dining here on three separate occasions Wrigley BBQ fell flat on their face.
I was in denial so I tried almost every side on the menu, numerous sauce combinations, and some of the popular entrees but yet I was still disappointed. Any time I visit a BBQ spot I try the cornbread and the mac-​n-​cheese. I try these items because they are both staple items and simple to make so they should be hard to mess up. The cornbread was extremely under cooked and the mac-​n-​cheese noodles were overcooked.
Wrigley BBQ is beautiful and in the perfect location but they just can’t seem to deliver when it comes to the food quality. It’s sad to see such a beautiful and trendy place empty but now I know why they say never judge a book by its cover. I thought this place would be the best place in the world but now I know why this place is always empty. Wrigley BBQ needs to either lower their prices or higher a new set of cooks.

All the fat trimmed off the sliced brisket. Which in my view takes away most of the flavor… and really. Should not bread be part of the meal?! 95 cents for a bun? As a side order?!

Finally having some BBQ in Chicago! My friend recommended this place for a casual dinner and am so glad I came here.
It’s a pretty casual place since you order first and get a table. I ordered the combination plate of the half ribs and chopped brisket which came with 2 sides for about $ 23. The ribs were great and cooked very well but the brisket wasn’t as crispy as I would’ve liked it to be and it was described to me.
Super casual place with good bbq. Also… they have BYOB!

I was starving and in dire need of some food and I was so excited that a straight up BBQ place was in delivering range of my apartment.
The first item that appeared on the menu was brisket and that’s my favorite so I ordered the chopped brisket platter with the corn off the cob, and macaroni and cheese. I was salivating as I waited.
When the food came I was pleased by the nice delivery biker guy who showed me a cicada that was chilling on his bicycle, but I was horrified when I opened the food upstairs and saw the chopped brisket resembled boiled cubes of some sort of meat. I immediately poured two of the sauces I selected on the meat (the spicy wrigley sauce was very liquidy but tasty, the standard sweet BBQ enjoyable) hoping that it would improve the bland plain «brisket». It did, but only to cure my hunger.
The bun was also very disappointing. It was a large sized regular bun you would find in a 6 pack at a supermarket and it wasn’t steamed or grilled. The only thing that made this a 2 star review was the sides. The Mac and cheese was enjoyable with some BBQ sauce poured on it, and I really liked the seasoning on the corn.
I’m sad to say I will NEVER order from here again, and will still go my favorites «Q» BBQ and Smoque if I want REAL brisket. But they don’t deliver! :(

I had passed by this place to do my grocery shopping at Jewel next door (and not stopped) far too many times. Finally decided to give it a try.
Quick summary — service was incredibly quick. The food was delicious. Got the pulled chicken platter with baked beans and grilled veggies. Love the vibe of this place. BYOB is clutch.
Highly recommend this spot and was apprehensive to try because it didn’t get the highest stars here on Unilocal.Don’t be deceived. Give Wrigley BBQ a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Ok Wrigley BBQ I see you! You had me from the first bite of maple whipped sweet potatoes. And the jalapeño corn bread? Get in my belly. I very much enjoyed the pulled pork with the Carolina vinegar, and *bonus* it’s also hormone & antibiotic free!
Downsides: with limited outside seating, there were people camping out not having ordered yet. I even asked them for half their table but they were «waiting for more». Rude! We also waited a really long time for our food to come out. But I’m glad it was worth it!
