Food was fallen off of the bone the barbecue sauces the best this is hands-down the best barbecue place in the city of Chicago! I advise everyone to stop by they close when they sell out of the food so you should go early!

Randomly came upon this place after having cravings for some good BBQ. This little gem is definitely worth trying! It's parking lot accessible for a few parking spots available in front of the restaurant. It's little seating outside and in the foyer after placing your order. The ambiance is simple but nice, & most importantly clean! Prices are also very reasonable and get a good portion for the price you pay. Unto the food! Everything is served fresh, & hot. Food is prepped per order which is definitely a plus. I tried the medium rib tips which came with a side & coleslaw, at the time they didn't have coleslaw so you can replace it with another item. I'm not a big fan of everyone's macaroni but this here was bomb!! &, the baked beans were bomb as well. Now these rib tips are definitely the staple! Juicy, flavorful, tender & fye! The bbq sauce is not too overpowering but gives that extra kick. Customer service was friendly, & straight to the point which I personally like. I waited no more than 5 minutes & was out the door. Overall I will definitely return & try other items on the menu.

A very dear friend of mine recently tried this establishment, and although I've known for years that he doesn't eat pork, I decided to try this "BBQ Shack" because he gave the chicken a 9, and the food overall an 8.5, on a scale of 10. My friend THANK YOU and I concur with your assessment, though I'd rate Nine One One BBQ Shack a 9 out of 10 due to the EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. The chicken was off the charts good; tender and moist, even the white meat! I really like the Mac and cheese also. Sauce yes, but the fries not so much -- seemed like fake potatoes. The corn is sweet and tender, but still has a crunch. The beans Beans were well seasoned. The Coleslaw seemed prepared in-house--very well seasoned, and they were quite delicious. The rib tips are a bit salty, tender and not overly fatty. The ribs were surprisingly delectable. Like most take out establishments, the food needs to be warmed to be at its best. Outstanding chef!

I drove a Long distance, because they're spaghetti is so tasty, only to find out that it is only served on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Very disappointed

It's a take out joint, no tables inside

First thing is I respect that their name honors first responders, I thought the name had something to do with the sauce being spicy lol I just want to say this food is quality. I've never had tips so tender before, this isn't just good quality food but the way is cooked is a huge factor! The food itself is 10/10, one thing that cushy me off guard was how good the spaghetti was. Amazing!! My only critique is to have option in sauces, their sauce was good but I've had better. Some other places have mild, mix, hot, etc. they only add a little bit of sauce and that sometimes can make the tips dry but I asked for extra sauce and they gave me a cup. The price for the large is $17 and one super hungry person can finish that or it can feed 2 people. Their sides are really good and the food overall is amazing! I will definitely come back and try more items. Amazing food! Amazing service! Reasonable prices!

We were in the community and stop at Nine One One BBQ Shack. The place is right on the corner. The space is very clean and the staff is friendly. The food will keep you coming back. We have heard about the coming back for more. Yes more of the Mac and cheese that is like what your mother made. The collard green has favor. They use smoke turkey in the recipe. Ready to eat In to you mouth Bones will not hold on to the tender smoked meat Take you time In the next piece of meat Pause and eat some fries Sauce just top off the favor RIB TIPS is one meat selection. They have St. Louis, large slat, and small end too.. The chicken is on the was home for snack and dinner. Yesssssssss praise the Lord for this place.... We spoke with Mr. Brother Trotter ....... Just outside after he got our orders to go! He did wash up before coming outside to greet up alone with other coming into the place... They smoke the meat for at least 4-5 hours..... Make sure you call and place your order. They ran of candy sweet potatoes. Shalom

See all

Saturday night and the restaurant was less than half full. That should have been our first warning…read more They were out of two of the things we ordered but we were only told after the fact; the waiter wasn't knowledgeable of what was available on the menu. Then they brought half our table's food about 20 minutes before the rest. The worst part was when the waiter was rude to my son. My son, who is 7 years old and has special needs, was getting out of the booth to let his cousin out so he could go to the bathroom and suddenly the waiter came up to drop off the second half of food. I'm not sure why the waiter didn't go to the other side of the table where everyone was sitting rather than the side where three people were getting up, but my son accidentally bumped into the waiter. The waiter rudely said "don't touch me!". I stood up to move my son away from him and then helped the waiter distribute the plates. The waiter said he could do it but that was seemingly not true because not only was he rude but he tried to give us plates of food we already had received 20 minutes earlier. I told him we already had those orders and he was very confused. Really a terrible experience.

Best place to get somewhat Mexican food in the Morgan Park area. It always seems to have big crowds…read moreespecially on the weekends. Americanos is known for having some authentic flavors. Maybe not too authentic but still pretty okay. They have a bar area as well as tables. A lot of fairly authentic ethnic restaurants around here. It's for sure not the most such of these, but it holds up okay. There's a lot of the patrons who are of the culture, as well as others who just want margaritas and tacos. Also looks like a great place for a fiesta. There's often some kind of banquet going on. It's about $10 for a margarita. We got a couple of these. I had the Classic Margarita, which is the original lime one. Refreshing. Food is limited for vegetarian choices. It's about $11 for the House Salad. Basic vegetables are on it. Has an arbol lime vinaigrette, which adds spice. She got the Taco Salad which has cheese and jalapeño crema among other things. Most of the rest of the menu is meaty. There's classics like tortas and that kind of stuff. For sure it's one of the reasons to come to this area. It's not the nicest looking but it's still mostly okay. The restaurant is located at the corner of 111th and Western.

The staff worked together as a team--refilling drinks and bringing out meals. It's the corner diner we see on old TV shows. There were plenty of "regulars" coming in when our party of 3 arrived.

On a Saturday morning around 11am there was surprisingly no wait but I also think we got the last available table inside. Note here that they do offer outdoor seating. Anyways, we sat smack dab in the middle of the restaurant and got to observe a lot. After sitting a young lady brought waters over to the table. I asked her a quick question but she noticeably had AirPods in and didn't respond. I was just looking for the bathroom but I found it myself. It was clean and well stocked. Our waitress was nice. Attentive and present. We ordered the 2+2+2+2 and a Moons over Miami sandwich. The food took less than 10 minutes to arrive and everything was very hot. My mom and I both enjoyed our breakfast. I personally really enjoyed the French toast. I thought the portions were filling. At the end we were asked if we'd be paying by cash or card. A ticket was never presented but we were just verbally told an amount. I thought that was kind of odd. We chose cash because you get a discount. We asked again what the total was and she again just verbally told us and then took the cash. We had exact change but I still think it was weird to not have a visual. Overall, this was a great meal and an overall good experience. I'd add this to your list of breakfast spots to try in the area.
