I'm glad I called because they had holiday hours today and glad they mentioned they are stopping taking orders at a certain time and I was able to place an order to go. It's in a private parking lot in a strip mall type set up. Their location is in the corner end of the lot closest to the main road. As you walk in, you can smell the barbecue and looking around. It's a nice spacious place. They also have a bar along with a full arcade game room. When I came in to pick up my order, they were pretty quick. The staff was friendly in the place was clean. As I got home, I unloaded the food, it was cute. They wished me a happy Fourth of July of my to go bag. This is what we ordered: -Full slab barbecue pork ribs, it was nice and smoky. They served the type of ribs that you have to work on chewing it tear off the bone a bit. It's not fall off the bone, soft meat which I prefer myself. I requested the Chicago Sweet barbecue sauce which I like the flavor, but keep in mind. It does have a black pepper taste to it if you're sensitive to spicy. -half a pound of brisket we requested the fattier side of our order. It was very good soft and juicy. I would definitely get this again. -side of Mac and cheese, this was pretty good. I get it again. The noodles were soft and cheesy. Keep in mind. There's also a little heat spiciness if you like it like that. -mini corn dogs and fries kids menu, the corn dog was OK however I felt it was a bit overcooked a little too crunchy and the hotdog ended up being a bit dry and the fries had some good flavor, but for some reason, it was overcooked as well, someone in the reviews made a comment it could be twice fried fries that made it looked dark which I'd rather have it golden color not dark overcooked fresh cut fries. I give the place 4/5 stars service and how clean the place is inside. I would give my food order, 3/5 stars overall 3.5 stars.. Overall, it was OK barbecue not sure if it's because I ordered at the end of their day or not of certain dishes over a bit dry, fried/cooked... I'll have to come back here when they first open and dine in and update my review as I like bbq and support local businesses.

It absolutely satisfied my cravings. If I had ONE suggestion for Blackwood BBQ (in Oakbrook, Illinois, specifically), it'd be to EXPAND their (indoor) dining area. This place can get PACKED, especially on weekends. The tables are pretty close together, so when this spot is BUSY, you can really begin to feel a bit suffocated and overstimulated, with all the people being all packed up tightly. Regardless, the food is delicious. It's worth the (temporary) discomfort (for those who choose to eat inside, as opposed to taking it to-go). It's worth mentioning that they DO have an outdoor dining area as well. Normally, I am a fan of sitting outdoors, but in this case, it was a stormy afternoon.

Came with a load of fries- they were ok. Not the fresh cut type but decent. Slaw was so so. It had a vinegar taste and mixed with a sour kraut flavor. I say pass on that. Prefer creamy for my taste. Overall a good value for the price of $24.95 for the combo rib and chicken dinner. If you want a super smokey bbq, this is not the main place. Good value and ambience from the 60's, this is the place.

In their defense it was 4:00 and the evening rush hadn't began. We were greeted by a lovely young lady (Nicki) We decided on 3 sandwiches so we could try a little of everything (or so we thought) 1. Brisket sandwich Amazing! Perfectly cooked, 6 options for BBQ sauces. Just a great sandwich. 2. Pastrami sandwich Spectacular! My personal favorite. If you're looking for a NY style Pastrami, then go to NY. This sandwich was a thick cut Chicago sandwich. Also, not a traditional mustard but a mustard dressing...fine by me because the Pastrami is all that matters. So juicy so flavorful, a fat man's (me) dream 3. Italian beef. I was almost full and picked at the beef...really good too...but I have to say their giardiniera is amazing. My only gripe with the beef was it didn't come out hot, it came out warm...I prefer hot WAIT THERE'S MORE!!! Halfway through our meal Nicki came by to check on us and DROPPED A COUPLE OF PIECES OF SKIRT STEAK on the table for us to try...no seasoning at all not even salt...its was sooooo good that I'm going to get the steak sandwich next time.

One of my favorite moments was when we realized we didn't have anyone to cut our wedding cake. Without hesitation, Joe stepped in and did it for us. It was such a small thing, but in the middle of a crazy wedding day, having someone willing to jump in and help meant so much. We are so grateful we chose Golden Boy for our reception.

Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

1 star - Walked out after 30 minutes with zero service on Halloween night…read more I've been a Lettuce Entertain You Frequent Diner Gold member for over a decade and Bub City Rosemont is one of my regular spots, so this one stings. I arrived just before 10pm on Saturday, Halloween night, planning to have dinner and drinks at the bar and catch the band. I sat at the smaller bar near the entrance, where I always sit. It was fully set up, other guests were already seated, and there was nothing indicating it was closed. But there was no bartender, and none ever showed up. Over the next 30 minutes, at least three or four people who appeared to be managers walked right past us running food. Not one of them stopped to take an order or even tell us the bar wasn't being served. Meanwhile, the other bar was packed with two bartenders behind it. I watched several other guests sit down, wait, and leave. Eventually I did too. On a Saturday, on Halloween, with a paid band on stage, leaving a set-up bar full of paying customers completely unattended is a management failure, plain and simple. Even if someone called off, a manager could have stepped behind the bar, moved a bartender over, or at the very least told us what was going on. I would have easily spent $100. Instead I took my business elsewhere. I hope leadership takes this seriously.

My only regret was ordering half trays instead of full trays because it disappeared fast! Fantastic food, great service, and they really helped me out in a pinch. Easy 5 stars. I'll definitely be going back to Squabs Gyros!
