Reviews for Earl's BBQ in Chicago, IL
Ordered for the first time this week for takeout. Tried to get the 2-item platter listed online for $23 and then our bill had it... for $35. So maybe the menu is not very clear online? And then our ribs were really dry and they offered extra sauce (awesome)and then charged us extra for it. Wings were decent though, and fries were good. Maybe it's a better experience dining inperson but we paid what felt like a lot (over $60) for just ok food. Just moved to the area and had been excited to try thisjoint but not sure yet about returning. The other reviews make it seem hit or miss depending on what you order. But of courseI'm only reading them because I really want a reason to like this local spot! Read more
Love the power greens salad (so different and delicious) with the green sauce (I would like to put it on everything :). The... brisket tacos with green sauce are awesome. The chicken tenders and coleslaw are also tops. I personally like the lightness ofthe chicken strips. Read more
I have been coming here for over two years, twice a month. Recipes have changed slightly so the Mac and cheese may not always be... the same, but the food is still amazing. Recommend the brisket tacos! Read more
Found myself in this neighborhood at lunchtime so went through the drive thru. The person was so helpful and I ended up getting... the brisket sandwich with the spicy BBQ sauce. So good!!! Highly recommend :) Read more
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 weregood but too salty for my taste. Read more

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 ofbrisket and 2 orders of salmon: and the sides were going to be $2.95 each. However, when I arrived, the prices were all a lothigher! $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 thisway 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-meatplatter). 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!) Read more
If you are a Goodfellas fan...you may love this place. You have to walk through the kitchen to hit to the bathroom! I had the... brisket sandwich and fresh cut fries. 4 out of 5 overall. Super friendly staff. 4 choices of BBQ. Chicago hot was my personalfavorite. Definitely some of the best BBQ in the area. Lunch special was under $14. Read more
