“ What a weird weird place, they took pour your own beer and counter order bbq and put them together. The sauce is all pre packaged. Why. It was delicious though. Five stars. Great back patio/parking lot. ”
“ One of my top 5 Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwiches. Out of close to 30 by now. Enough heat to make me sweat with flavor that kept me eating! ”
“ Delicious BBQ! Everything we ordered was awesome! Beef Brisket, Pulled pork sandwiches, Tri Tip , and ribs with sides offried, mac & cheese & their Grits were especially amazing with fresh bacon on top!! Nice outdoor patio seating, and their bar area is also very nice!! They make all their own bbq sauces and slow bbq all their meats!! Nice selection of micro brews on tap and in bottles. I had a craft margarita which was delicious!! Great waitstaff too!! I will be back!! ”
“ If you are in the area this is a must try. The food is amazing. Try the wings and Mac and cheese. The staff was great at helping us select food and explaining all the sauces. ”
“ The smoked chicken wings are worth traveling for. Always delicious. ”
“ I can’t say I’ve been to every bbq joint in Chicago but this is by far the favorite I have tried and I see no reason to look elsewhere. My standby is the tri tip sandwich southern style. Can’t go wrong with that. Nice Mac and cheese side but I usually go for the fries and slather through a few selections from the half dozen house made sauces on every table. Giant short rib special is a treat if you can get it. ”
“ It's been a long while since I've been at this District Brew Yards location and I don't remember Lillie's Q. Pictured here is a Pimento Cheese Sausage Link (8 and a style I've never tasted before 5/5), half a pound of Brisket (17, probably one of the best I've had 5/5), both come with a side of onions and pickles, and ordered sides of Coleslaw (4, dry, not creamy 3/5) and Mac & Cheese (6, which was average 2.5/5). Not a huge fan of how the BBQ sauce packets came, pictured here - opted for Hot Smoky and Smoky Barbecue Sauce. A bit pricey but was filling. Would like to try the Tri-Tip, Hot Link, and Chicken Wings next visit. ”
“ Duuuude. This place has great BBQ and fried chicken! Super tasty. ”
