Best BBQ I've had, like in my life. Honestly, one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Great atmosphere. The staff treats you like family. Everything is made with love. There's no way you're going to leave here without a smile on your face.

I ordered the meat platter because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. Everything was was good except the chicken was dried out. The strawberry lemonade was really good! Their in house ice cream sandwiches were amazing! I tried the strawberry and the chocolate banana (which is like Oreo cookies and banana ice cream). I definitely would go back if I am even in that area again.

We loved our meal here! Doug, one of the owners, was our waiter and talked us through the whole menu. Everything we ordered was incredible. The meat was all very tender and filled with flavor. Homemade Key lime ice cream sandwich at the end was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend this place!

I was craving ribs and this place was the right place for it!
Loved everything in my plate!
Corn was delicious- not hard , not soft. It was perfect.
The waffle fries are amazing!
Service was great. Our server Maria was very friendly. Thank you for that!
Too bad I didn’t had space for all those desserts though!
Highly recommend!!!

My friend and I tried this place randomly but were both very satisfied with the food and the ambiance of the place. We both had the all beef platter with the ribs, and i had the chili and coleslaw sides. I also ordered the brownie with banana ice cream. I have no complaints whatsoever about any of the food that I ordered, and would definitely make this a regular spot. Great place to go chill with some friends or a chill date night. The sauces are also fantastic, and if it weren’t against my conscience and not legal, I would have stolen a bottle of every single one of them. Also, our server Maria was great and super friendly which is always a huge plus for me.

Amazing! Visited here last weekend after a volleyball tournament and wasn't disappointed! EVERYTHING is AMAZING! Firstly, the team at Offset BBQ is amazing, always checking in, and took time to show us around the menu.
Appetizer: Wings were so great! Very well made and loved sampling the sauces.
Entree: Sampled the pulled pork/pulled chicken and a few of the sides. All hands down were amazing, no stand outs. And couldn't choose a favorite over the others.
Sauce: Not much of a sweet sauce fan; but this had a unique and delicious taste.
Thanks again for an amazing meal!

Last time I came here, I'm so satisfied with their food. I had an amazing lunch here. And yesterday I came here again with my friends. There are a lot of people when we enter and we can see almost any vacant seats. But we were lucky that some customers at one table finished eating. So we sat there but no one staff cleaned it immediately. We call one staff member and point out the mess. He immediately cleans it and sanitizes it. Then we ordered our food. It was easy to walk here since the spacing was huge. It took just a minute before our order came.
One dish that I liked was their Smoked Lamb. It was so good and delicious. The meat was so soft and tasty. It was pretty good to taste. If you ever come here, try this dish. My friend also likes this.

So good! The food was well liked by everyone and the ribs were amazing. The strawberry vodka drink was also delicious. The service was also incredible. Our server Maria was friendly, funny and she was overall so personable! She was great on her own, but we were also checked in on by multiple others. We will definitely be going back!

This is hands down my new favorite restaurant! Chicago has some really good food, but I’ve been struggling to find good bbq since I moved up from Texas a few years ago. Not anymore. The brisket here is some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Also do yourself a favor and get one of their homemade ice cream sandwiches. I tried their key lime and strawberry flavors and it is the perfect dessert!

Will be coming back here soon. The food is all insane and I want to try more. Friendly service and good choice of drinks and beers. I wasn’t expecting such good bbq in Chicago but this spot didn’t disappoint.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? this is the best restaurant I've been to in at least 6 months. ❤️ Everything is well seasoned, the service is impeccable, super friendly staff, spacious seating area. Try the cauliflower mac and cheese and ALL of the meats. My husband loved the chili as well!

Amazing food! And the staff was very friendly too! We did the bbqueso appetizer and the meet your meats platter. Both really great. The bbqqueso was so juicy and savory and the platter was perfect for us both. But the very best was the final touch: the ice cream sandwich. We are definitely coming back

I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a BBQ person but after seeing all the reviews I knew I had to try it and WOW. Do not sleep on this place, truly the best BBQ I've ever had. The wings were absolutely phenomenal (only managed to snag a picture of the last 2 they were gone so fast!), from the wings themselves to the sauces that went with them. At most places, the carrots and ranch they give you with wings are nothing to write home about, but not at Offset. Even those were amazing. Abuelita's bowl was such a delicious mix of flavors (shout out to Maria / Abuelita!) and finishing the meal with homemade ice cream sandwiches was really the cherry on top of an all around great experience. Can't forget to mention the delicious bourbon peach tea, so refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. Everyone here is also so friendly and great to chat with and our server, Maria, could not have been nicer or more helpful with her recommendations. We will 100% be back :)
