yes!!!!!!!!! first time I was there was about a month ago! had the rib tips, fries and a side of sweet potatoes! AMAZING!..was gonna eat at home, decided to sit outside the place and just feast..they are super friendly..2nd time was last night..had a 6 piece wing dinner, and it was so good I called them to tell them so.. Tonight, my daughter asked me about some ribs, so I pulled out the Rib Brothers menu, and we decided Rib Brothers 2 nights in a row was so worth it! :) getting the full slab!!!!!!! BOOOOM!!! read more

I just gotten a Mini Tips....Omg. So meaty and very tender. Will be going back! Very good

Those brothers know how to make ribs. A little expensive, but they're good. Very nice and ethnic.

Food was acceptable.. not worth the price quality could have been better and restaurant could be more sanitary and clean. Might come back.

See all

Didn't like the taste. Too much charcoal taste.not enough bbq flavor. I didn't see a wood pile anywhere. My regular spot blows this place away. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect when we pulled up at almost 9:00 on a Tuesday night. The place is small with three nice picnic tables outside. The two young ladies inside were very friendly and sweet. When they found out it was our first visit they hurried into the kitchen and gave each of us a rib tip to sample. Delicious! Smokey, sweet and peppery. Great comfort food - rib tips, baked BBQ beans with pork, mac n cheese, chicken and dumplings. Yummm! This place is a gem! read more

We get the rib tips. We haven't had anything else unfortunately. I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as great. I'm not a french fry person but I always get fries here. I have sent my kid just to get fries. Then of course a rib place has to have sauce. The sauce at Rib Brothers is fabulous! Perfectly made. My son is picky about sauce, but he loves it. read more

Food is pretty good,but they are SO SLOW and unorganized. Called in an order last night, got there and still waited 40 minutes. Sorry, not again. read more

A five star eatery would not serve frozen fries. Our rib tips were edible, but the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle, and the rib tips tasted like they were baked in an oven a couple of days ago.. So, we did not throw them out, but we won't go back. Also, all of the sides were starches, except for the slaw, which they were out of. There were no baked beans (the traditional side with BBQ) and the wheat bread was a slice out of a low quality store bought sandwich loaf. read more

I-57 and Best Barbecue taste 10x better. The sauce is fair. If you call in an order you still have to wait. The inside looks like a hole in the wall. read more

When they first opened I wasn't totally pleased with the way the food was served. They have changed a few things and I love the sauce and hot links. I've eaten at every BBQ joint in Chicago and I know good links. Would recommend the place. The tips are also tasty. My only complaint is I wish they used white bread instead of what seems to be wheat, just my preference. Ribs and chicken are also good. read more

The quantity of food is ridiculous for the price. The quality of the food was ok. However. There are other restaurants that offer ribs with better quality and quantity. read more

I'm sorry but my husband and I just ate at rib brothers and we give it two thumbs down.. The ribs tasted like it was baked, soft and slimy with a lot of fat on it. The only reason I gave it a star is because I had no other option. :( read more

Awesome family owned place, owners are super friendly. Told them it was our first time & they brought us a little sample. Rib tips are great, good sauce, very tender. Mac and cheese was delicious. Definitely get your moneys worth and definitely will be returning! read more

The absolute worst customer service I've experienced from a restaurant featured on #chicagosbest. After waiting an hour orders around my number which was 82 started to get passed out. After 5 or so orders I realized that they skipped my number. I asked about my order and was told the ticket wasn't printed or something of that nature. So pretty much I needed to show my receipt so that they would know what my order was and begin to prepare it. The building is verrrry small probably enough room for about 8 customers to stand around and wait for their orders comfortably. Anything more than 8 people and it's gonna give you crowded night club. ( excuse me excuse me). Back to my order. So after waiting an additional 5 mins staff comes from the back with a brown bag and ask if I want sauce on the fries. Mind you I ordered a mini tip and $10 tip dinner mac n cheese and yams. As I instructed her on me wanting sauce on the tips and fries she then hands me the bag. Not realizing she only gave me a portion of my order. She went to the back to see where the rest of my order was and it was for what ever reason not ready. After a few more moments she tells me that I would have to wait on cornbread. By this time I was there well over an hour and 10mins. The tips were ok. The yams were very good. The mac n cheese wasn't great. If I were to ever go there again it will be after they relocate and retrain their staff on the importance of great customer service. The greeter wasn't welcoming and was struggling whike taking orders. In the future when I want some good bbq I'm going to stick with i57. Based off of my experience they get 2 out of 5 . AND 2 WAS BEING GENEROUS! read more

This was my first time eating at this establishment and I was very disappointed. It was 6:00 pm and they were out of mostly everything. I settled on fried and bbq wings, sweet potatoes, macaroni and green bean casserole. The muffins were burnt and dry. The sweet potatoes was drowned in nutmeg, and the macaroni was dry with the absence of cheese. Contacted establishment and was informed they don't do refunds but will remake the meal. At this point I just want my money back. I will not be going back. read more

best ribs in the chicago land area!!! i dont know what gary m. is talking about (i think he works for hog wild)!! i am not a paid advertiser and im not related to the business so my review is 100% real!!! i am a big girl who knows food and know ribs and these cant be beat!! melt in your mouth and the sauce just makes it all the more better!! the greens are so good you will want to slap yo mama lol!!! the owner and his daughters are great they make you feel like family when you wall thru the door. who knew i would find the best bbq at a carnival for a church!! read more

I hate to leave a bad review for this place but it is ridiculous. I have Literally been eating ribs since I was born I use to eat gristle when I was a baby. This place is a disgrace it looks nasty in there, when the people come out to take your order their fingernails are dirty and on top of all of that you never see them grilling anything? Where is the barbecue grill where is the pit? My favorite restaurant that sells rib tips is Lems on 75th by King Drive when you drive past there you smell the rib tips cooking. You can drive up and down Pulaski up and down 115th or 119th St. and you don't smell anything. What is the excuse? When I got the tips from there it seems to me like they are boiling them and then maybe putting them on a makeshift grill or something it is terrible. I hate to give them my money the only time I do is Whenmy son asks for tips And I don't want to drive all the way to King Drive. read more

I saw the review on Chicagos Best and decided to try the food. BIG mistake! They were totally unorganized with orders, the wait was over an hour. When I did get my food they screwed up the order and put the wrong sides and left out others. My bill was 101.45. I had to come back to pick up the missing items only to find out they had run out of them, There was no mention of trying to do anythingto fix the void. When I finally did tatste the food I was totally pissed off ! This was by far the worst BBQ i have had in a long while! The meat was not cooked completely, the tasted like someone dumped sugar in it, my entire family agreed this was not worth the trip or the cost. I will never go back!! Chicago's Best made a bad call on this 1!!!!! read more

I found Rib Brothers while touring the Maxwell Street Market one Sunday. Super friendly people and the food smells and tastes fantastic. Their tag line says it all, "Once on Your Lips Always On Your Mind." read more

Stick to the rib tips - full of smoke, meat and deliciousness. I had a small tip combo with sausage the sausage was inedible because it was so dry and overcooked. The banana bread pudding was one of the best I ever had. I'm mad because I always told myself I'd stop here and finally did, don't make the same mistake I did. I will have an updated review once I go again. It'd be 5 stars if I had only order rib tips and dessert. read more

We got to Rib Bros at 7p on a Saturday night and we were happy to see no line. The menu has all the soul food faves I love.....rib tips, greens, banana pudding, fried wings, links... Who could ask for anything more? Let's start with dessert made by the owners aunt: amazing. It comes in a very generous portion. Smooth, sweet and creamy. The greens were quite yummy; smoky and a little bit of heat. I would have been quite satisfied with just this duo but I also had the fried wings and smothered fries in mild sauce. The spice on the wings were perfect. I like my wings a tad on the overdone side and these were perfect for me. The sauce was mild and had a small bite on the end. I have to say the seasoning on every dish was perfection. My husband had the rib tips and said they were just ok. He is spoiled because the best rib tips in the world are in Dyer at Hog Haven. It's hard to compete with those. I highly recommend the wings and sides. Very good service. The ladies at the counter were very nice and accommodating. A hit! read more

OMG!!! This place is off the chain,just as I wanted a good BBQ place in the area,I got a GREAT BBQ place in the area which is so close to home, I actually love this place all the food is excellent here,and the staff makes you feel right at home,so stop by and check them out you'll be GLAD you did,& tell them Derrick sent you with a smile:-) read more

My sister and I really had a taste for bbq and we came across Rib Brothers. We almost missed it, since the place is small and unassuming. Even though it is small, you could smell the flavor emanating outside as we drove by. We ordered rib tips and boy were they good. The sauce tasted homemade and the tips were very tender. Even the fries were crispy and we drove a little ways. The service was quick and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be going back. read more

10/03/15 my husband & i saw brother's ' ribs featured on chicagos best(reviews resturants). he finally went there today, to get a meal so we could check them out. wow! fabulous! the best i've ever had! spectacular! there are no words to describe this place. these are the best ribs i have ever had in my life. ribs & bibs , formerly of hyde park for generations closed in 2013. we went through a mouringing period, wondering how we could ever find a rib place to replace ribs & bibs. bingo! this place hit the spot. brother's ribs exceedded our expectations, and will have you SLAPPING YOUR OWN face they are so delicious and succulent. they literally fall off the bone. tender and cooked to perfection. the sauce is the bomb! not to mention the sides of corn muffins, greens, macaroni & cheese, sweet potatoes. a hidden diamond in alsip has been revealed. it was like hitting the lottery!!!! tanya b ( i got the gift to write good food reviews and i have to use it) read more

Best ribs and mac and cheese, banana pudding is amazing!!!!! Must try and best service jn the area. Thanks a bunch guys.

Hubby & I decided to try Rib Brothers after seeing them on Chicago's Best. Let me start by saying the customer service is excellent. We were given samples of the rib tips and let me say they were the most tender flavorful ribs I've had. They were so good we decided to each order our own separate orders so that we didn't have to share with each other. Our orders included rib tips, hot links & chicken. Everything was on point. If you are anywhere within a 50 mile radius, I suggest you give Rib Brothers a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Ribs are nice, tender & flavorful. I also tried the mac & cheese, it was also delicious. & OMG!!! The banana pudding is good too, I almost forgot to mention it. The customer service is wonderful, they were patient & understanding while I looked over the menu. But I am not disappointed in the least. The only reason that I cave give them 5 stars is because there is no place to eat at the restaurant. read more

Great staff, best ribs I've ever had... not that cheap but its worth to eat their ribs..chicken is also good...

Only baby backs, rib tips, pulled pork and wings to choose from so don't get your hopes up for some spare ribs or some brisket. Upon entering we were greeted with a nice hello and a sample of their tips, which were moist and tender so I figured their ribs should be just as well. We got the full rack and I was very disappointed, they were over cooked and dry. The pulled pork was the same only drowned with sauce. Wish I can say I'd give it another try but pork is expensive. read more

My first time to big brothers I was greeted with a smile and welcoming aura. Since this was my first time I was given a sample of rib tips and a turkey leg. OMG the turkey leg was phenomenal and the rib tip was excellent. I'd recommend this spot to anyone. read more

OMG!!!! The best ribs and tips I have ever had!!! The staff is the best!! This was our first visit and they let us sample just about everything in the menu!!! We were full after the samples!! We ordered a tip and chicken combo, turkey and pork hot links and baby back ribs, all with their spicy bbq sauce!!! The tips were soooo tender and flavorful, baby backs were falling off the bone as we picked them up!!!! We will def be returning here often, this is our new go to spot for bbq!!!!! read more

I live in the neighborhood, and had a taste for some good ribs. I was not disappointed, the ribs I purchased were the best I have ever had!! The you ladies were so nice, and kept on saying how sorry they were for my wait. I didn't mind waiting at all, as these two ladies kept me in good conversation. I brought home a pulled pork sandwich for my son, and he said it was delicious!! The French fries are also very good. I will definitely be back for more of these mouth watering ribs!! So GOOD!!! read more

Let me tell you about our experience 4/2/15 with Rib Brothers . After traveling from the south side of Chicago to buy theses ribs, due to watching a review on tv was disappointing. When we arrived home we discovered that they had not put any sauce on our bucket of tips nor did they place any sauce to the side. We went back over through rush hour traffic after trying to call and keep get their answer machine. When we walked in the place was crowded. My husband spoke to a male who we later learned was the owner. He asked for the for a receipt which the cashier had taken from us when she gave us our order. However, the number was written on the bucket. He read the order back.when my husband stated it was correct. The manager became upset which was displaced by his facial gestures. A words were exchanged .the Manger correct the order but gave all customers a lecture on the dollar bill why waiting. When we got home the rib tips he gave us was dried out look like they had been cooked to long or leftover and some was tough and we pay for 4 wings only had 3 and they were cover in feathers. All we wanted was for him to apologize and correct the order.He never apologize for the error and for the distance we travel Because we did mention it. He need classes in customer service as an entrepreneur. He l I st our business and we make sure we tell all our family and friends NOT TO BUY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT.!!! read more

Rib Brothers is sooooo good!!!!! Best ribs I've tasted in a long time. The ribs are so tender and the sauce is to die for! I really recommend this place for great ribs, chicken and dumplings, greens, sweet potatoes and mac & cheese. read more

Very disappointed bad bad bad service !!!! read more

Rib brothers is a good place for a quick bite to eat. The prices are very good and the quality is great as well. The food is seasoned very well, however I'm not too big of a fan of their sauce. The ribs fall off the bone and are very tender. I will visit them again. read more
