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.

The food was amazing. I'm just upset that it took me this long to stop and try their food.
