    My sister and I shared the lunch special and feasted like royalty. First of all, they greeted us kindly at the door and let us pick our favorite table. You place your order at the counter, so that was our next stop. They took great care of us there, and showed us our choice of meat (either brisket or lamb) and how big the lunch portion is. This cemented our decision to split the brisket. They asked about our preference for spices and even let us sample a bite before spicing our brisket the whole way through. After paying at the counter, they sent us back to our table, advising that our food and drink would soon be on the way. We found an assortment of dipping sauces and side dishes waiting for us at the table. The salads were light and refreshing, while all variety of potatoes on offer were especially delicious. Our brisket soon arrived, and it was tender and flavorful. The dipping sauces were hardly needed, but nice for some variety. Along with our food, I also enjoyed the Purple Potion mocktail (lychee, dragonfruit, hint of lavender, sparkling soda, NOT garnished with dried dragonfruit, contrary to the menu). It was pretty pricey for how much beverage you get, like most mocktails, but that said, I really, really liked it. It was complex, lightly sweet, and refreshing. At the end of the meal, even though you already paid at the counter, they bring you a final copy of the bill to sign - that is your opportunity to leave a tip for all of the attentive service. Meat Moot is definitely worthy of addition to the lunch rotation. I would say decadent is the best word to describe our experience here.

    it was an interesting place as you walk in straight into the dining area. You sit down and in order for you to see the menus you had to use the QR code on your phone to view. Since the place is called Meat Moot, they are synonymous with all types of meat from beef to lamb. All their meats are Halal so during our visit, there were a lot of people dining during Ramadan. So what do you do is go to the meet area, select the type of meats you want, in 1 pound fashion, which is great for sharing, and order. You then sit back at your table and your food is delivered to you. There are unlimited sauces, which include garlic yogurt, hot sauce, honey, mustard, barbecue, and several others, as well as unlimited coleslaw, side sale, and some other things. The meals are good if you're very hungry and looking to eat a lot of meat.

    Firstly, just gotta say I hate to give bad reviews. So let me start with the things that we enjoyed, the service was excellent. 10 out of 10. The food was presented well and the restaurant is really cute on the inside. Love the ambience! Saw this online and was really excited to go, anticipated going for a couple of months. We ordered two pounds of the beef brisket but I fear the butcher did us a favor by giving us only one. The food was both dry and flavorless, to the point that it was hard to swallow Soo disappointing and so different from what I'm seeing online. So glad the waitress brought us a smorgasbord of sauces to try. Our favorite was the dynamite sauce. Maybe they were having an off day. I don't think I'd try it again.

    Came to Meat Moot and wow... if you're a meat lover, this place hits. You order your meat by the pound, and the sides are unlimited, which makes it such a good deal. We got the 1/2 lb brisket and 1 lb ribs, and both were super satisfying. The brisket was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned with a nice smoky flavor definitely not dry. The ribs were the standout fall off by the bone soft, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The unlimited sides and sauces really complete the experience. There's a great variety, and everything pairs well with the meat without overpowering it. For drinks, I tried the Pearl mocktail with lychee, which was surprisingly good light, refreshing, slightly sweet, and a perfect balance after all the savory flavors. Great portions, bold flavors, and a fun spot for a casual dinner or sharing platters with friends. Would absolutely come back to try more.

    My girlfriend and I each ordered 1/2 lb of beef brisket which comes with unlimited sides and sauces for lunch. They have got down smoking their meats through the night and it comes out packed with flavor and falling apart with how tender it is. The sides and sauces are overall really good and we love that they make a lot of them in-house. My personal favorites were their potatoes and their chimichurri sauce (I kept hitting the chimichurri as it felt like the perfect combination with the saltier, smoky meat). I tend to prefer my rice being on the dryer side, but I noticed the rice they had during our visit was a bit more clunky (a sign that more water is being used to make it). I'd be curious if that was just a batch issue or if that is typically how they do it. Either way, I guess that's more my preference if anything. As you can see, the place itself is very nice with beautiful booths you can sit in. The guy working also gave us a little show when preparing our platter which was also really fun. They have servers regularly checking in on you seeing if you need refills on anything. The price point is a little high ($60.84 for two of us including tax/tip), but they seem to be okay with you asking for more sides and then packing them home with you if you'd like. Would definitely return to meat moot at some point as it was overall a very positive experience.

    I was seeing this advertised everywhere and was so excited to see one open up closer to me. I went for the lunch special and it was pretty quiet. The staff was super friendly and helpful explaining a bit of the restaurant and how everything worked. I got the 1/2 lb lamb lunch special. Mine did not really have any flavor to it, but it was very tender. The honey helped a bit, but still wasn't very impressed. I did have a bit of the brisket that my friend got which was much better. I felt like the sauces were a bit watered down. I might give this another try, but I don't think it would be any time soon. Maybe I just saw it hyped up so much that this was a bit more of a let down.

    We came here and they definitely have the meat. Brisket, Lamb, smoked and halal. They were very friendly and made sure we were happy with the meat and how it was seasoned. When we sat down, they served it family style with all of the sauces and the sides. All of the food was very hot and fresh. We enjoyed all the dishes. We appreciated that everything wasn't over salted, as some BBQ restaurants can be. Definitely expect a Middle Eastern flare of seasoning. The one thing that could have made things a little better, is if serving sizes for the sides were a little bigger. Yes, they are unlimited. However, we felt, as a party of 3, we kept having to repeatedly ask for more side dishes of potatoes and salad as it was not enough to share among the 3 of us. Otherwise awesome and I really hope more people try it, and they stay around!!!!! We really enjoyed eating here.

    Beef ribs and lamb shank.

    Staff very friendly. Very nice looking place. Meat was very tender, juicy, and the spices are must.

    Brisket lunch special

    I went for the lunch special that was pretty decent. I enjoyed the meat, all the sauces and pickled things, and variety. It was a really good deal. The service was fast and friendly. The bathrooms were clean. My only complaint was that my iced tea tasted weird and bad.

    Best BBQ ribs I ever had ) plus very nice customer service! Also I dont eat pork so its the best place to get nicest ribs and brisket.

    The smoked Beef Rib and lamb shank were tender, juicy and smoky. Both were flavorful. The lamb didn't have the usual gaminess. Both meats were seasoned thoroughly and fell right off the bone. I really enjoyed the beef rib paired with the honey dipping sauce as well as the mushroom dipping sauce. The honey obviously gave it an additionL sweetness while the mushroom sauce was salty and savory. It was a really enjoyable experience trying all the different sauces. The staff was very attentive and offered drink refills, extra sides, and whatever we needed. The restaurant felt warm and inviting. The high chairs with armrests looked great but were difficult to get in and out of. The chairs were wide and heavy which made them hard to pull out and push in while sitting. The floor was super sticky-- every step was like walking with wet flip flops across a pool deck. Despite these small nuisances, the food, staff and atmosphere was quite pleasant.

    NOT worth the hype. Meat is smoke very nice but ZERO FLAVOR!! Yes they put seasoning on before they serve it but it's not cooked in the mea, making the meat tasteless. The sides are a complete joke mash potatoes cold, rice cold and no spice at all. Over priced tasteless meat is what is going on. Seriously $42.50 a pound for tasteless beef brisket. ZERO STARS!

    I finally found a BBQ spot in the suburbs that I absolutely love. Chicago Culinary Kitchen has a…read morecool rock n' roll vibe, and everything we ordered was delicious. For the hand-cut meats, we tried the brisket and pulled pork. Both were incredibly tender, smoky, and practically melted in your mouth. We also ordered the cornbread and mac and cheese, and both were standout sides. The cornbread was huge, dense, and still perfectly moist. I was a little worried the mac and cheese would be too spicy because of the Hot Cheetos, but it actually had just the right amount of kick. The combination of creamy mac and crunchy Cheetos made it extra flavorful. To finish the meal, we shared a burger, and wow , it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You do have to order at the counter, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations on which meats to try, which made the experience even better.

This is a really rare opportunity, so I'm not sure I'll ever see it again. Amazing!! For an opener we enjoyed the Char Siu Pig Wings, a really unique take on the chicken wing - sweet, spicy and perfectly cooked. Then it was on to the brisket, St Louis style ribs and some of the best and most interesting sides I've had in a long time. The Sticky Sprouts had the same flavor profile as the Pig Wings, unique and tasty. The mac and cheese was dusted with crushed Flaming Hot Cheetos and the fried green tomatoes were really good too. I didn't have any stomach room left for dessert. I'll have to try the candied bacon n the next time I eat here, which I hope is really soon. And, I was granted a special high kick in celebration of my bday! The staff made my night really special.

    You know, - I saw their barbecue sauce in the stores for years - even out in Southern California,…read morewhere I lived for 32 years. I had no idea that they actually ran a restaurant. Seriously! So, imagine my surprise when I found out they had a restaurant on Irving Park Road in Wooddale - and I would occasionally pass it going to and from work! Well, it was time to try it for lunch today. There wasn't a big line of people, but boy did the food smell like barbecue when I walked in! I quickly ordered the two meat combo with chopped brisket and pulled pork. I got the green chili, Mac and cheese as a side, as well as the classic coleslaw. All right - the ambience was just perfect for a small barbecue place. The food came quickly, but I noted it wasn't quite right. I had asked for chopped brisket not sliced brisket. Not a crime against humanity, true, but still I didn't complain and I decided to go ahead and eat it anyway. So how was it? Well, I slathered on sweet rays barbecue sauce, and ate like crazy. The meat was pretty darn good! The green chili mac & cheese was delicious- can't say that the coleslaw was to my taste, but there was nothing wrong with it. The cornbread was fantastic. The only reason for the demerit? Was that I ordered chopped brisket and got sliced. Will I come here again? Yes, yes I think I shall! And I think you should try it too if you like barbecue.

He did not like how they put them on a checkered paper, it tore and was heard to eat. The pork was also too dry.'he said they were ok but he won't order them again.

The chicken was really delicious and flavorful. Probably the best 1/2 chicken I have had in a very long time! It was juicy and the perfect temperature. My favorite thing was the corn bread muffin! It was moist and delicious not dry at all! I would definitely order this meal again! The restaurant was very clean and they played classic rock music in the background (the drive radio station). The restaurant is small but the perfect temperature... it was in the 50's outside and inside it was about 70 degrees in here. If you're in the area I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. We will definitely be back to give other menu items a try!
