    First time customer, greeted by the owner and wife. They were very friendly. Offered me samples of the pork rib tips, greens and turkey tips. I ordered large tip n link combo. Very good tips you can taste the smoke flavor and tender. Links were very good kind of dry. Greens were very good, corned bread w good too. Hubby got a steak burger he liked it. I will be coming back again to try other things. This is a little hole in the wall but good food. Little pricey but you get what you pay for. I don't mind paying for good food. I drove 25 min to them. Give them a try and their black owned.

    Mac and Cheese

    I decided to go to Rib Brothers after hearing their ad on WVON radio. I phoned in my order I was towed to the order will be ready in 15 minutes, and I arrived in 20 minutes later it was hot and ready to go. I ordered a small rip tip, Macaroni and cheese and a peach cobbler on the side. However, I was too full to eat the peach cobbler so I'll have to attempt it tomorrow. But it smells delicious. The owner, Mike, and his wife were there. They're very kind and very knowledgeable about the Barbecuing Business. I will gladly return to their restaurant again. JR

    Rib tips, greens, mac n cheese, and cornbread

    Just ok..Mac and cheese is loaded with black pepper so I couldn't eat it, greens were just ok..cornbread taste like refrigerator..but hey I gave it a try, just won't try it again. Small family restaurant and it's not the cleanest place either

    This is what was left of my quarter chicken meal. Bbq sauce on the side. Smoky and delicious!

    This is the some of the best bbq I have had in Chicago, period. I have had Smoque, Blackwood, Lem's and the late Uncle John's but Rib Brothers definitely hold their own. I only wish they served brisket. Their rib tips, however, were super tender, moist and seasoned perfectly. The smoky flavor was right on point and balanced perfectly with their tangy yet slightly sweet sauce. As other reviewers have mentioned they put a Cajun seasoning on their fries and fried chicken wings that is delicious. It really compliments the food. We also had the mac and cheese which was good along with the potato salad. The standouts were the ribs, links, and wings. I can't finish this review without mentioning the outstanding service here. There were two girls there, I believe the daughters of the owner, and they couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. They offered me a free sample when I told them it was my first visit. This will definitely be my go-to bbq spot!

    Burnt Bbq and faulty container

    I had a delivery from this establishment. I ordered a link and tip combo. The tips were tough and burnt. They also packaged the Bbq in a paper container. Once I removed the food from the bag the bowl began to fall apart. Stop being cheap. Bbq should be in styrofoam packaging! The only think eatable was the cole slaw and potato salad.

    See all

    Le Stella Cafe - Stracciatelle chocolate chip gelato $3.49 (1 scoop)

    Le Stella Cafe

    (12 reviews)

    Homemade soup , sliders and a build your own cheesecake bar a great amount of food for the price …read more The ambience was relaxed, Great atmosphere quick and friendly service.

    Came to the grand opening to try a few things…read more The staff are wonderful. Very knowledgeable and eager to help in any way they can. Great customer service. The ambiance is nice. I like that the ordering area is right in front of you when you walk in, and that the boards with menu items are above. Off to the right are pastries and to the left is the gelato. Along the left wall are some two tops and to the right are some four tops. So, you can come here in a group, or on your own. The food: I asked for a tester of the strawberry cheesecake gelato. This was good. A little bit icey, but good flavor. My partner ordered a scoop of the chocolate chip in a cone and enjoyed it. I thought his was a little icey as well, but again had good flavor. There was a picture of a bagel with avocado and tomato on google maps, that I wanted to try. I asked what it was bc I didn't see it on the menu and they said it was the avocado toast. They offered to put it on a bagel, and I asked if cream cheese could be added. This bagel is fantastic. It's so fresh. And you can see how perfect the avocado was; it was perfectly ripe. They also added some olive oil and her , but they left off the feta and tomato. I think those two toppings would have made this epic. Nonetheless, it was yummy. The drinks: I ordered a chai tea latte because they said they made their chai syrup in house. When I tasted it, I realized they made it in water first, rather than in milk, and it wasn't spicy like a traditional chai. I could taste cinnamon, but I didn't taste cloves, cardamom, black pepper, anise, ginger, etc. This was okay. Next time I might try one of their tea bags because they have a large selection. My partner ordered a mocha. He said it was good. Parking: They have a shared lot out front and we were able to find a space without issue. Overall impression: I intend to come back to try more of their food items and other teas. The people who work here are wonderful and the location is great.
