What an amazing place! We had the ribs, brisket which just melted in the mouth and the burger was amazing, fried pickle and atomic fries absolutely stunning food! Staff were friendly and service was decent.

Amazing chicken wings and delicious drinks! Our server gave great recommendations of what to order off the menu. I had the pork Mac and cheese, it was ok, but my husband enjoyed the wings and ribs! Very fun atmosphere, not busy on a Monday night!

Stopped by Bub City tonight, after walking around to find a place to dine. Our waiter, Julio V, was fantastic!! He gave us great suggestions & was very patient as we took our time deciding. I ordered the No Shoes, No Shirt & it was delicious! It tasted like passionfruit juice but I didn't taste the alcohol, nor did I feel it. If you're looking for a great tasting sweet drink with hardly any alcohol, this is your drink! We ordered the fried pickles, I'd give them a 2 out of 5 only bcuz the ranch dipping dressing was good. My friend ordered the ribs & they were not tender nor did they fall off the bones, maybe that's not a thing in Chicago (shrug). She also ordered the cornbread & it was very good!!! I ordered the Cali burger & it a good. The tater tots were okay, they tasted better dipped in the ranch dressing. Overall, it was a decent visit.

Ordered the Pitmaster Combo Plate with some waffle fries.
Enjoyed the brisket and baby back ribs but the pulled pork was a little dry. The two different bbq sauces you get with the meal was tasty and enjoyed the other sides.
There’s plenty of seating inside and out and they show live sport too. I’d come back and try other stuff on the menu if I was in the area.

My husband and I came here during happy hour on a Tuesday while on vacation. It was quiet, mostly empty. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive without feeling pushy or like she was at our table too much. The food was great. We split an order of the smoked wings with Nashville hot sauce, then got a brisket sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich. Everything was hot and delicious! Our waitress did mention (when we asked) they have live music Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights and that it does get very busy those nights. Overall I would definitely recommend!

BEST RIBS EVER!
We‘re looking for a nice restaurant which offers Ribs in Chicago. Thanks to Google we found Bub City. The ribs and chicken wings were the best we ever had. The meat has fallen from the bone and tasted delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful and we‘ll come back.

It is a another great restaurant under LEY, we have been coming here since it opened, mostly for brunch and occasional dinner. I am updating this review since the menu has changed some after COVID.
The BBQ is always good, not the best we have tried but it surpasses Chicago Q since that place ran down hills. I liked the old days when they put all of the sauces on the table, the special BLT sandwich for brunch, the bread pudding... but that is no longer the case. The main BBQ items are still the same on the menu, my favorite nachos, burgers, chicken and waffles etc. I definitely recommend the nachos to share, and the burnt ends to start. As for brunch, biscuits and gravy. The fried chicken items and grits are just ok for me, nothing special, I would go elsewhere for that.
The alcohol selection is large and stays true to the southern theme, live music and sports on TVs, pretty standard bar setup.

I had never heard of this restaurant before I received two gift cards from a friend. What an awesome place this is. I had the brisket sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. My friend had chicken and ribs, and my other friend had the salmon. I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant for good food and good service. Try the fried pickles too!

Great place, delicious food and drinks, and the best server we've ever had. This is both mine and my wife's favorite place ever. We shared brisket, ribs, salmon... all kinds of stuff. All I can say was we loved this place and are planning on returning with our best friends asap.

Good food! Their smoked meats were delicious and the drinks were a good price. Their fried goods (fries, fried pickles, tater tots, etc.) were a little plain, the type of things you could get anywhere. Overall we had a pleasant time here.

Amazing food and staff. Bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the whiskeys and bourbons I knew nothing about. We got the Berkshire pulled pork and the brisket burnt ends grilled cheese and loved every single bite.
