    Food is AMAZING. Visited on Sunday and I still can't stop thinking about it. I ordered the half slab of ribs with spicy BBQ sauce, and they were incredible -- super meaty, tender, and packed with flavor. That spicy sauce had just the right kick without overpowering the smoky goodness of the meat. To top it off, the staff surprised me with a free apple cider donut, and wow -- warm, soft, and just the right touch of sweetness after the ribs. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, clearly passionate about their food, which made the experience even better. Only thing I can say I wasn't the hugest fan of was the $8 cider drink I got. It was a personal choice though everything else 10/10 If you're a BBQ lover or just craving some seriously satisfying ribs, Porky's BBQ is a must. I'll definitely be back!

    Ambiance and service were great! I got the pulled pork and brisket combo sandwich (asked for the buns on the side) and made it a meal with cornbread and Mac and cheese and collard greens on the side. Pork was good, brisket was a little dry, cornbread also a little dry. Collard greens were good but too much flavor, I think a little more subtle would have been great. Mac and cheese was excellent!! I tried all of the sauces and the Carolina gold was my favorite of them all.

    Had dinner at Porky's with the fam as we were in the area. Pretty good place! Portions were reasonable and food was fresh. Pricing is reasonable for a BBQ type place. We got the brisket, pulled pork sandwiches and parm fries as well as the pig sty fries. Tasty food, the fries came with cheese sauce and chunks of brisket which was enjoyed. Seating is limited but worked for us. Parking is free outside the establishment. Service was prompt. Would recommend!

    I lived in the surrounding area for almost two years and never knew this places existed until this past weekend. I was glad I stumbled upon it while downtown. The service was great and the gentleman working the register was very nice. I thought the brisket had good flavor and was not dried out. Fries were fresh and seasoned well. My wife's ribs were also very solid. My favorite item of the whole meal was the beans. The flavor was excellent. I would love to return and try the pastrami sandwich.

    I have enjoyed Blackwood BBQs party platters for family gatherings over the years and decided they…read moremight make a nice addition to Thanksgiving 2025. I ordered a small container of Brussels sprouts and a large of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was as good as usual--crunchy, cheesy, and the pasta was cooked well. The sprouts disappointed the family this time as there were a lot of stems included. +The instructions were very clear on how to heat the food the next day (Thanksgiving) -Even though I prepaid and picked a specific pick up time, I still had to wait in line +The gentleman who gave me my order included serving utensils which was a help by the time I got to my grandma's house My mentality when visiting repeat restaurants is "If this was my first time, would I go back?" and if that was the first time I ate the Brussels sprouts, I wouldn't order them again.

But let's face it you're not coming here for the decor, it's about the food!! That being said, mediocre at best comes to mind, sorry but true. I hade the Meats + two sides, I choose brisket and pulled pork with beans and fries. Where to start in the just food dinner? The brisket was plain and cook, maybe it had a Smokey flavor but it wasn't that stood out or having me think about more. The pulled pork was the same, it was pulled but the BBQ or smokiness was missing. If you thought those two were missing flavor, don't even try the baked beans, they were almost to the point of just being boiled and put into a little paper side basket. The fries, come on, we are in the Chicago area, why would the serve frozen crinkle fries, where are the fresh cut fries??? At least the sweet tea was good!! If you want good BBQ, take a little bit of a drive to "I Smell Bacon" now that is BBQ done and right the best I have found in the area!!!

    This is located in the same strip mall as Ramen House Shinchan. Plenty of parking. When we walked…read morein, there were a lot more Koreans eating there than Americans, so you know it's legit. The staff was mostly older Korean ladies that were very helpful and kind. The younger girl working there, gives you great service. Each table against the wall has a button that you can call for service. Prices weren't bad, they're about the same as other Korean places. We ordered popcorn dumplings, Korean steamed egg, beef bulgogi, LA galbi marinated, and soft tofu soup with galbi meat. If you pay cash, you get free ice cream. Also, the banchan is unlimited and you also get Korean stew with the bbq. Popcorn dumplings were nice and crispy. It's also moist and succulent inside when you bite into it. The steamed egg was delicious. The bbq meat was great. I liked that there was more meat than bone for the galbi. I recommend getting the tofu soup with galbi meat. The soup is savory and the galbi meat is very tender. This will be my new go to.

    Hadn't been here in a while but it's still good. I actually really appreciate the banchan they give…read morebecause it's not all spicy--most places have spicy odeng these days, which our kids don't like, so they were happy to have it mild for a change. What we got: Mul naengmyun (cold noodle soup) - Hit the spot on a hot day. Noodles were chewy, broth was already seasoned enough that I didn't need the extra vinegar or mustard provided. Japchae - Surprisingly good! Super flavorful, the noodles were great and I don't usually like shiitake mushrooms but I didn't hate them in this one! Galbitang - This one was a little disappointing. It was fine, but we've had it in the past and it was consistently tasty. The broth used to be more garlicky (a good thing that kind of made it unique to this restaurant) and the meat used to be high quality and tender. This time the broth was fine, and the meat was pretty grisly and a bit tough. Not great...made us wonder if they changed chefs/hands? Or maybe it was just an off day... One thing: we ordered to go and we wish they hadn't put the cold noodle soup broth right next to the steaming hot galbitang broth...just wasn't very well thought out when packing. Still delicious though and doesn't deter me from going here!

    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.

    My husband and I were in the area and decided to stop in for some BBQ…read more My husband ordered the Large Nachos with Smoked Pork. 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. He says he will order a burger next time! I ordered the 1/2 Alabama Chicken with cornbread and two sides. I chose green beans and coleslaw. I love that they have healthy side options. 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!
