    Always hits the spot the .Sunday brunch menu is Never disappointing. The French toast casserole is delicious has a hint of Capirotada and the chicken and waffles slaps as well.

    Now open for curbside pick up Thu-Sat order online by noon for curbside 4pm-6pm.

    Not sure why I don't make my way here more often. Always next level with Juan at the helm. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dining room is always spotless. Noticed he went through 800 lbs of smoked corned beef for St Patty's Day. Need to get back for a smashburger. Juan is considering operating a separate smashburger pop up here, on the days he's closed. Follow him on Facebook instagram for updates and the weekend specials.

    Big Beach Combo

    Some of the best bbq you will find in the Chicago area. The big beach combo was plenty of food for three people, with leftovers to take home. A bit pricey, but bbq in general is expensive these days.

    Meatloaf

    I was kind of in the mood for something not too heavy and tasty when I came across Beach Avenue Bbq for a lunch choice for the day. It was no line and one family in the dining room so it was a short while before I received my order. I went with the baked potato with brisket which came with a huge potato and a nice helping of brisket. The bbq sauce was self serve so I grabbed a couple servings and tried it with and without. The sauce really set the flavors off. The brisket was tender and everything was fresh. I really like this spot and look forward to swinging by later this week.

    Rib tips (1 pound)

    I don't think there is a ton of barbecue places by us and this one was a random find and definitely a keeper. On a Sunday afternoon, we arrived as soon as they opened therefore everything was still available. I heard that certain meats sell out fast so arriving early is key. Four adults and two young children shared the following: 1) Large macaroni and cheese 2) Large slaw 3) The rib tips (1 pound) were plentiful and an awesome catch for just $11. The flavors were rich and the meat was juicy. This is definitely one of our favorites! 4) My girls shared the pulled pork sandwich and I really like how they don't slather it with barbecue sauce because I generally refrain from giving my girls too much condiments. I added a bit and the girls devoured the sandwich. 5) The BBQ meat sampler consisted of wagyu brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, ribs, and hot link. It's a good way to try a little bit of everything and figure out what you like best. Overall, I enjoyed every item but my favorites are the ribs, pulled chicken, and hot link. I generally don't care for pulled chicken but this one was exceptional. It was juicy and flavor-packed, to the extent that barbecue sauce was absolutely unnecessary. My girls had seconds and thirds too! Can't wait to return and re-order some of the mentioned items!

They don't toss, but give you the sauce on the side, which I was fine with. I asked for blue cheese crumbles, and they put a nice amount.

I recommend a larger bowl. The server was friendly. I gave it 3 stars because it's absolutely filthy! I came right when they opened on a weekday, and the floors weren't cleaned from the night before. Literally food in the corners. Also, the table next to me filled with crumbs. When a group sat there, they wiped all the crumbs with their hand-eek! The table is so grimy that it's literally sticky! If you look at the trim, gate, condiments container,lights, and furniture- you can see loads of dust and grime. This place needs a GOOD clean down!

It's a shareable, tapas-style dining experience, which makes it ideal for groups. We ordered the Fried Mozz Brick, which was good but didn't quite wow our group. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the Caesar salad, always a go-to for me and this one met my expectations. For pizzas, we tried the Pepper Only, the Sausage Fest, and The Original Mr. Beef, and that one ended up being my favorite. Definitely the star of the night. The drink menu is also great. Lots of options depending on what you're in the mood for. And as a mom, I have to mention the bathroom situation. Although it's downstairs, it's clean, spacious and private, and they have a changing table, which honestly makes such a difference. Believe it or not, not every place thinks about that, and it's always appreciated. Overall, a great spot for groups with good food, good drinks, and an aesthetic interior that left me wanting to go back for more.

Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

We sat outside and the menu looks like it has a lot of options. We ordered a couple drinks - a beer that wasn't anything special and a martini that had shimmer in it. I took a sip and instantly regretted it - tasted like a mixed drink I made at a highschool basement party. The alcohol burned my throat and it was like the cocktail components didn't make sense. I took one sip and never sipped it again. We ordered cheese curds and a burger which came out in 5 minutes after we ordered which was odd. Felt more like a fast food joint. The cheese curds were heavy and greasy and the burger was pretty good. 1 appetizer, a burger, 2 drinks cost us $67, kind of wild in my opinion. Our server seemed like she wanted us gone too as it was the end of the night. Disappointing experience, don't plan on returning.
