    Although the food was absolutely phenomenal, the service was extremely slow impacting our night. We were there on a weeknight with minimal other tables and we couldn't understand why everything was taking so long. When the food did come it was the best BBQ we've eaten in the city but that did not make up for the lack of service. The front room also smelled of the nearby bathroom cleaners as soon as we walked in

    Dear Guest, Thank you for your honest feedback. While we’re thrilled you loved the BBQ, I’m sorry to hear the service was not up to par. That’s not the experience we want for our guests, and we’d love to learn more. Would you be so kind as to send an email to our team with the date/time of your visit as well as your name? We appreciate the chance to make things right. Best, Rob The Chicago Q Team

    Great food. Service was lacking, which is a change from several months ago. Music was not consistent and volume went from good volume for dinner conversation to extremely loud.

    We love Chicago Q and they never disappoint. The BBQ is the best and I also love their shrimp and grits. They will bring you potato chips and pickles as a pre-dinner snack and they are addictive! I love the sides, particularly the Mac-n-cheese and cornbread. Chicago Q is a mainstay in our dining rotation.
