Their process is incredibly thorough--they completely take the grill apart, deep clean everything, and use steam to get it back to like-new condition. What I appreciate most is how easy they make it on me. They schedule a time, show up exactly when they say they will, and handle everything from start to finish without needing any involvement on my end. It's always a two-person team, they're professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. If you're looking to have your grill, hood, oven, or outdoor kitchen properly deep cleaned, these are the people to call. Highly recommend.

We came into The Backyard Barbecue Store to get some rubs that you you cannot find just anywhere,…read morespecifically Meat Church and Porkmafia. The store has a huge selection. What we didn't realize was the absolutely giant variety of charcoal & gas grills and outdoor kitchens the store has. Seems that they have everything related to outdoor cooking. Many of the brands are ultra-premium. We have been cooking on the Big Green Egg exclusively, don't have a need for new gear, but it was really nice to hear about this stuff. Arriving hungry form the northwest suburbs we pleasantly surprised to find out they also SELL barbecue. It was lunchtime so we took a seat at the bar, each having a beer and a sandwich. The pulled pork and the brisket were really good. This is definitely a destination store, trip-worthy from anywhere. We will be back!

I can't believe that I have to tell people about this place. If you are looking for new grill…read moreequipment, classes on grilling or just some great advice this the only place to go! We have been looking to upgrade our grill for a number of years and have finally done it. I really wanted the a good looking grill area and looked many places to either custom build or have a good looking pre-made cabinet. First the custom build was out of my price range. I wanted to have the gas grill and the egg in the same unit but was not able to find any at all. I found two units that I could push together but they were really ugly. Then I went to the experts, The Backyard Barbecue Store. First they were more knowledge about the grills themselves than anyone else and they have a company that makes units just like I wanted. Bonus, they have multiple finishes for you to choose from. I stopped in a couple of times before making my final decision and they were so knowledgeable it was stunning. They were super patient with me. I am such a novice. They do classes here too. I am planning on taking one on how to use my new Big Green Egg. Mike, has already spent an hour of his time giving me some rudimentary instructions. So generous of him! If you are thinking of entering the world of grilling or replacing some existing equipment you would be foolish to not, at least, stop in here!

We went to La Mera with a large group and made the reservation weeks in advance. Our group was…read moresplit up amongst a bunch of tables. The main server took orders, got drinks to everyone in a timely manner and brought chips and salsa to everyone. And that was primarily the good part of the evening. The second part was actually bringing what we all ordered. It was quickly realized that anything that had lettuce in it was going to be sopping wet. The bowls were drowning in water. You know when you eat a bowl of Apple Jacks or Cocoa Puffs and the milk changes color to pink or brown respectively taking in the flavor of the cereal? Well, that's what happened in the burrito bowls. The water became a discolored mess of burrito "juice". It was gross to look at. Suffice to say, many had to get new burrito bowls. I ordered tacos. Two tacos came on a small plate and rice on a separate plate. I don't know why this place doesn't invest in bigger plates to hold all the food as all the separate plates take up a lot of space on the table. One person got fajitas and she had five plates. FIVE. PLATES. Seriously, WTH?! And of course, I had lettuce on my tacos and they were drowning. And before I knew I had to give my chicken and steak tacos life preservers, I had already added verde sauce. So imagine my seriously wet tacos now being infused with more liquid. They were gross. But let's go back to the time before I had my dinner. Our group took up four tables. Our table was the second one to order, but our food never came out. To give a reference, one couple arrived about 20 minutes after we ordered. They then placed their own order and received it before we received ours. So the main waitress apologized profusely and said she'd bring more chops and salsa, but she'd also bring over chips and guac. Which she did do. She brought chips (no salsa) and chips and guac. Then finally our meals came. I mean my meal and the two other people at our table. Well, sort of. One person never received the side of chips and guac. Just the one for the table for the unplaced order. My wife's meal took another ten minutes to arrive. However, a server who seemed perturbed brought her an al pastor (pork) taco. She said she'd bring ordered chicken. The server got upset and then quickly turned on her heel to bring the wrong plate back to the kitchen. She almost hit me in the head with the plate. Thankfully, I saw what she was doing and turned away just in time. So she was finally brought almost the right meal by the owner who had to make four trips as he kept forgetting to bring her everything she ordered. When the bill came, we were charged for the chips and guac. The one that was brought to the table as an apology, not the one that was actually ordered. It was quickly removed from the bill. The owner thanked us for our patience and then said that they were sorry about everything but didn't know they'd be so slammed due to homecoming. Um, we made our reservation weeks in advance. They were just understaffed for the evening and the kitchen doesn't seem to know that after you rinse the lettuce, you drain the water and maybe dab it with a towel to remove all the excess water. I'll say this: there are plenty of Mexican restaurants around that we'll never return here.
