Does this restaurant have a party room that can be reserved? And if so, how many guests can it hold?

Unfortunately not, we have one dining room and one patio. We can do lager parties at certain times pending the size of the group.

Looks great but I'm allergic to seafood. Can these be made without?

Sure, we always have a chef on the line.

Are there gluten free options here?

Yes but I would tell them that you are Gluten free when you order just to be on the safe side.

Are there any vegan or vegetarian options here?

Yes there are some vegetarian options

Perfect balance of flavors and the brisket is always on point. Im not a big horseradish guy so I order this one without it. If everything is so good then you must be asking why I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star review well... its the bbq chicken. For me this was disappointing. Had a weird texture almost rubber like in certain spots. Lacked the flavor you expect in bbq chicken. Overall not good for my bbq pallet. Will I be ordering here again....of course I will!!

Shaevitz Uptown Bbq

Best wishes for great success to the new owner of this business…read more There are many aspects to this business. All of them seem to indicate an establishment worthy of our patronage. There is an additional special element that is important. This business characterizes itself as "kosher". To some people that is irrelevant but for others it is primary. The previous owner had an attitude that was very antagonistic towards the national and international kosher certification entities. For a lack of more or better information, it seemed like there was something "ideological" that took preference over business and community interests. All of us know that there are many choices for excellent restaurants in our area. That is in general. It is not true for Jews strictly observing the dietary rules. The non-Kosher observers, Jews and Non-Jews, were happy to learn Shaevitz UPtown Bbq was sold to a young and ambitious individual with a good Jewish education. North Shore was going to have a place where everyone observing the dietary law could feel comfortable. For non-Kosher observant, it was going to be a place to entertain kosher friends, business associate and family. At this time the established has a kosher certification from an induvial but, not from any of the many known kosher certification organizations. It sadly prevents many people from patronizing this business. This is an opinion. It is intended to be helpful for customers and for the owners. It is not intended to imply anything negative about the individuals or to question his character or intentions. Summary - It is simply easier and more functional for people that are Kosher observant, no matter where they are from, to enter an establishment with confidence that the word Kosher is applied in a context validated by a known entity. I hope that certification is on the way, and we can enjoy the excellent food that has been noted in many other reviews.

So, we were able to taste a variety of choices! The salmon was incredible! The Teriyaki mushrooms were delicious! We can say the same thing about the Texas brisket, the BBQ brisket slider, chicken tenders, the rib tip sandwich, the stir fry beef and broccoli, and the ribeye steak entree. The sides were just as delicious as the main meal! They are extremely generous with their side of fries as well! All I can say is although this was our first visit, it will definitely not be our last! Shaevitz is under new management and everyone there is beyond kind and provides great service! You must try for yourselves!

My companion is vegetarian and had a variety of options. We ordered at the counter and picked a table. I ordered the grilled salmon with cornbread and green beans, and my companion had the chili. Chili was a large portion and she enjoyed it. The salmon had grill marks and a charred taste and was cooked well. It was the first day it had been on the menu, I would order it again. Green beans still had a bite to them which was exactly what I wanted. Mushy green beans are unappetizing. Corn bread was sweet. With lots of events at HPHS in my future, I will definitely be back.

We finally decided to give them another shot at their HighWood location and I can say, we will probably never eat there again. It wasn't the food, it was more the service. So we ordered our family fest for dine it. The restaurant wasn't packed, but was occupied with a good amount diners. We weren't given enough silverware, so we requested more and got handed a basket with silverware. I went to place it on the table and it laid unevenly, so I lifted it up and found what looked like a black rubber stopper. After inspecting it more, I realized it was a rubber chair foot covering. How the hell it ended up on the table, I don't really know, except I'm pretty sure it was stuck onto the bottom of the basket that they gave me. Regardless- how unsanitary. How was something that should be on the bottom of a chair, make its way on top of a table?? And when I brought it to the attention of one of the workers- he "apologized" like it was no big deal. By then I had already lost my appetite. It made me question the cleanliness of the place... never again....

He had a fresh rack coming off the smoker which I found shocking considering it was almost 11PM!!! I spend a lot of time down in Texas and have had a lot of really good BBQ over the years. These ribs are easily ranked among the top ribs I've ever eaten. They have a beautiful dry rub, and are so juicy and tender, you don't need any sauce. The smoke line is perfect. I usually prefer my ribs with a sauce, but these honestly don't need a drop. The staff is warm and friendly, and there's a tremendous sense of pride they put into their food. If you're anywhere near Wicker Park I highly recommend you give them a try. I can't wait to go back and try that brisket.

This restaurant is welcoming, has a cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Their menu variety is good and the pricing is reasonable. Since it was our first, we took our time ordering the food. We started off with one order of Spam Musubi which was yummy. Then, for entrées, we got a Poké Bowl, Da OG Plate, and Aloha Mixed Plate (see my photos). The Poké Bowl was fresh and flavorful. The Da OG Plate had delicious and flavorful Huli Huli Chicken and grilled Pork Belly. Both were on point with the flavor and texture. Nicely cooked and delicious. I had the Aloha Mixed Plate and the beer battered fish and Pulehu Short Ribs were quite tasty, especially the ribs. I also had the Huli Huli Chicken that was really good. It was an awesome meal overall and we enjoyed it. We received good service and the food made us want to come back for more (which we will). Da Local Boy is a great addition to Highwood's culinary scene. You got to check it out.

Charging $7 for bread is ridiculous on its own, especially when the food quality doesn't match the price. On top of that, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for a party of four, which felt excessive given the experience. When I called to address these concerns, I was placed on hold for 15 minutes and no one returned to the call. When I called back, the staff was extremely rude and told me I would have to call again. Between stale-tasting food, unreasonable charges, and poor customer service, this was not an experience I would repeat or recommend.
