We came last night and had a great time, but I was looking at my bank transactions and it shows that I was charged twice for the total bill.
I've called multiple times and no one's answering the phone, so I'll have to dispute the charge through my bank.
Edit: I received the refund without disputing the charge, so I adjusted my rating.

Great Wrigleyville BBQ!!! The rib tips, mac & cheese and cornbread were all delicious. Very excited to try more. I will be back and I will tell my friends about you!

It was pretty inconsistent.
Some pieces of the burnt ends were rock-hard; other pieces were soft and juicy. Wish the orders came with more sides than the mediocre coleslaw.
Prices seemed high but I suppose it's the standard for the area.
The loud music wasn't a huge issue if the bass wasn't blasting in my ears constantly.
But service was good, restaurant is clean.

The food was downright bad. Ordered 2 apps and 2 sandwiches. Everything came out at the same time which wasn't ideal. The brussel sprouts were not crispy and barely cooked. Wings were drowned in spicy sauce and the skin was rubbery. Burnt ends were as dry and chewy as jerky. Portion sizes were large, but for $93, we were disappointed.

Great place to listen to live music late Friday or Saturday night. Huge bar that can be a great before or after spot for Cubs games, and they do a decent job of decorating for Christmas. Would come here for drinks more than food

We had been here before and a good time.
Today was different. It took 50 minutes to get two orders of wings, one chicken sandwich and one cheese Quesadilla.
Ordered smoked wings, they were fried.
Ordered blue cheese, got ranch (2 sides of blue cheese).
Was not happy at all!!
Next time going to HVAC which had the air-conditioning on.

Great food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Staffing is an issue (always and everywhere right now, I know) but must have time to be there. As short staff means long waits. They were good once they could help us.

Loaded nachos were a bust. Cheese was just shredded cheddar cheese not even melted barely . I added brisket and it was just a slab not even pulled throughout. Also no season or rub on the brisket .

Only reason i give a 4 is that there are other bars with better beer menus. However other than that i love this place. I had the brisket and Mac and cheese sandwich which was absolutely phenomenal. I also love the atmosphere here. Very chill, laid back bar hop it’s good vibes all around. I’ll be back.

Great service and atmosphere. Came after a Cubs game, so it was quite busy. Which helped with the lively, energetic atmosphere. The staff was amazing! The food was not good at all. The ribs either needed to smoke longer, or at a lower temp. They were pretty tough. Which is hard to do with baby backs. The coleslaw was the worst I’ve ever had. It was brown cabbage, with no dressing at all. The menu description included a horseradish dressing. I didn’t taste horseradish or dressing. Maybe the prep cook missed that step.

Nice find. We were a large group from out of town walking around looking for a dinner spot and stumbled into this bbq joint. They ran out of pork which sucked, but the brisket and chicken were great, good sauces, and the apps were good. The cheesy hush puppies were great, good nachos, the cheeseburger was great, and the corn bread was really good. Very fair pricing, you won't pay an arm and a leg to eat here. If you get apps and a meal you will likely have some to go food for later.

We came here for drinks on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised that it was still busy and going. Their Christmas drinks were delicious, especially their hot chocolate. Rooftop seating is in high demand so probably good to reserve. I enjoyed the murals around the bar. Service is attentive and efficient. ~$15 for a cocktail.

I love that you can smell the food as you walk in! We sat on the second floor with great views of Wrigleyville. The food was good but the fries in particular had this seasoning on then that reminded me of BBQ chips and they were delicious ????. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

Excellent smokehouse! We ended up here after a cubs canceled game. I loved the atmosphere. The food was great and service was perfect!
We first ordered the giant pretzel, then we had brisket and pulled pork, beans and macaroni and cheese, cornbread and Brussel sprouts. Also, the brisket sandwich.. Just way too much food.
The brisket was good, but very fatty.
Pulled pork was excellent.
The macaroni and cheese was crusty on top and got more cheesy as you got to the bottom.
Cornbread was good.
Brussel sprouts were good, came with brisket pieces.
Baked beans were just average, skip them.
The pulled pork/brisket sandwich was good, skip the fries.
I recommend the mad moonshine drink and the front porch punch.
