Great flavor with and without the sauce. The fish is amazing I will definitely be back. Oh BTW expect a long wait time read more

Good food ribs were burned. Chicken was good Service was good.Ambiance was nice, parking was lousy.

Oh dang!! Rickette's is goooooood! Thanks to the gentleman on the patio finishing up his meal who nudged me to try this place after he saw me stop and admire the menu on the sidewalk chalkboard. I asked him what I should order, and he replied "the catfish". Needless to say, it was out of this world. Seriously the best fried catfish I've ever had. Service won't be quick here, but it's worth the wait. They deliver on GrubHub and UberEats. read more

This place deserves zero starts. I got the tip and wing combo (roughly $19.00). The tips were burned and DRY as if they are pre-boiled before hitting the grilled. I asked for sauce on the food, which was just enough for a light coat. The fries were at the bottom and dry as well. NOT GOOD! read more

Hit or miss here sometimes it's good sometimes it's old and tough discolored meat and tough won't see me for a long time read more

The food is flavorful and fresh. The chicken is well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Ask for sauce on the side if you don't like soggy fries, but trust me it works! The service is quick and friendly. The man taking our order was very patient and went above and beyond. The waiting area is clean and inviting. read more

The food was very good, juicy chicken, flavorful spices and sauces and quick service. The employees were friendly and help create a welcoming environment. The food was very reasonably priced and all around amazing. Could not recommend more. read more

After speaking with a connection of this restaurant and learning Ricketts is the second generation of Uncle Remus I was skeptical because I don't care for sweet food. I went on Wednesday of this week ordered, chicken wings w/mild sauce & liver and a order of Perch. My food was really good and the server I think her name was Charmaine and she was so patient with me. The fried chicken was crispy but the Perch was amazing it was crispy, seasoned well and tasty the batter YUMMY for my Tummy. I didn't like the potato salad because it was a little too pickily for me. The next time I go I already have my order planned out, see you on Saturday..LOL read more

This is my go-to for ribs on Uber Eats! It comes fast and hot! I consider myself to be a rib enthusiasts, and I've had a hard time finding smokey ribs, that aren't over boiled that can be delivered seamlessly and quickly. Thank you for making cheat days so worth it! read more

I came on a Saturday.Awful service. The young lady who served me knew the man I was with . I guess she got upset . When I received my ten pieces of chicken the whole bottle of sauce was poured on my order. This was unprofessional, disgusting. And my money!. I should had reported this place. You never know what people do to your food. read more

Peach cobbler was disappointing. Tasted straight out of can. Chicken was good but they ran out of lemon pepper which is weird for a chicken place read more

Rickette’s - Disappointed with peach cobbler. Tasted very bland and peaches tasted straight out of a can. Still giving 3.5 because chicken was good - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My favorite thing to get from Rickette's are their chicken wings. They are always fresh and tossed in the yummy signature sauce. The ribs both for turkey and pork are good as well and tender. And the catfish is very well seasoned. A true gem on Taylor street and in my opinion better than some of the other chicken chains in the area. Definitely a favorite to hit up in the weekend when I want a good cheat meal. read more

Chicken was fresh. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Like uncle remus, except sauce wasnt as thick and sweet. I love the original sauce better. Wud have liked the rolls too instead of sliced bread. Bread was soggy. This place alone gets a 4.1/5. Compared to uncle remus tho, 3.9. Get that sauce and yall in the game 100. That sauce is important to the old customers. read more

Rickette’s - Juicy inside crispy out. This is LIKE uncle remus but the sauce wasnt as sweet N thick as them. Wud like rolls, N the old sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

pretty good rib tips and wings, quick grab and go place good service and price read more

Ordered a large Turkey tips. Food was a waste of money!!! First the amount of food compared to price is wrong, barely any meat. Secondly the Turkey tops were so dried out and tough I couldn't eat it. Definitely didn't taste fresh. Would not return. read more

Chicken wings are pretty good here. The wait can be a little long if you don't order ahead. I mostly order 5 wings and at times some of my wings are a little smaller than the rest. The breading is good, crunchy, and has the right thickness. However, they can get a little crazy with the mild sauce if you ask for it on your chicken which, can make it a little soggy. I have learned to ask for it on the side all the time. My only real issue is, they don't season their wings. I personally, like to taste the seasonings all the way through the meat. But, you can always ask for salt and pepper on the wings after they're cooked. read more

In the beginning they were very good, I work around the corner from this location and stop in from time to time, maybe around the 3rd visit to this restaurant I noticed the cutback on food I usually get the rib tip meal with 2 sides every time I order potato salad as my side I get these Little cups (the size cup you would put an extra mild sauce in) I don't feel that that equates to a side, I'm paying 13$ plus tax for this meal I want my fair portion!!!!also the ribs were really seasoned before now they're barely on meat on them They want you to patronize Black Businesses but they take your money and give less Quality and Quantity in Return, Gave them several tries more than likely won't spend and more money here.....Not Satisfied read more

My daughters LOVE the sauce! Pretty average food if you ask me. We keep going back- I ordered chicken wings. A bit expensive but we didn't mind paying. read more

Good food good service food on time The person at the front was really nice. Keep up the good work

Great!!! Food fresh and hot!! Reminds me of Uncle Remus.. Heads down best spot for chicken wings or chicken period. This is not a spot for Harold lovers, so if you are a Harolds lover this places isn't for you. read more

Turkey tips and the chicken was very good, however they passed off cheaper swai when I ordered catfish. For the people who love catfish, being fooled with swai instead of catfish as a fish is quite frustrating. read more

Food was good but customers don't like seeing maskless cooks preparing the food. The guy taking the order wasn't wearing a mask. Neither was the cook. read more

I ordered from here today because I'm tired of holiday food. What a mistake. I had a large rib tip with four wings. Not only were the ribs tough, they also tasted old. You cannot cover the bad taste of these ribs with sauce. It's safe to say this is my last time order from here. I wished I would've kept my $$. read more

The food was good but the sauce is to sweet for my liking. The chicken was nice and crispy, turkey tips was ok. The service is slow but the food is hot and fresh. read more

I tried this for the first time. I have been looking for good rib tips. It was amazing! The presentation wasn't all that great, but the taste made up for that. I ate every messy bite if it and loved it. It was full of flavor. I had the rib tips, chicken, and catfish combo. Nice portion of everything. My only complaint is the heavy salt content on the catfish. Too salty for my taste, next time I will just order the rib tips and chicken. I would recommend this place. read more

The restaurant was clean. It was a walk in restaurant and there are no seats but in the front I saw these cupcakes with mini liquor bottles next to them. I'm guessing liquor cupcakes which is cool u don't see that often. The cupcakes were about $2.50 and the cookies & brownies were about $1.50. Back to the food. The fries were crispy on outside and soft in the middle it was perfect with the mild sauce. The chicken was okay needed more seasoning to me but other than that the chicken was crispy and well done. I love the mild sauce though. read more

Prices too high! Wings too soggy! Fish too salty! Rib tips too old and dry-- must have been sitting since the lunch rush. Peach cobbler was decent. I will not order from here again. read more

Please if you place a order for pick up allow additional 30 minutes from the time they tell you. Also check your food order was wrong on 2 of the 3 occasions. It's a no for me! read more

I visited Rickette's frequently, due to working at UIC. The last time I was there the food was excellent; I purchased the tips and wing combo. Today, I was there again and purchased the same thing and the food was horrible. For $17+ you food should be fresh, hot and always consistent; it is not. The food is a hit or miss and you never know what you'll get. The wings tasted as if they were reheated and they were! They were not fresh! The tips were hard and I was not able to chew them-overcooked, not fresh! The fries were greasy ,(sitting a bed of grease), undercooked and just awful. Why? So disappointing! I threw the entire meal in the garbage. You just lost a customer! read more

This place was phenomenal, I had the best turkey tips ever! The service was fast, efficient & extremely professional. I will be back!

Not sure what the hype is about. The only thing I can recommend are the rib tips. The wings are less than average in flavor & hardly any meat. The mac'n cheese was not good. And I received 2 stale slices of bread with my order (not even a roll like what's on their menu). read more

This restaurant is good but charging for food and then refunding it with no knowledge of it is not acceptable. Ordered 2 meals for 2 people and now I only have one meal and have to go through the process of ordering for someone somewhere else is just ridiculous. This business needs to step their game up and not answering the phone with a full voicemail and not being able to talk to someone is outrageous. I will never order from there again read more

I walked by this place couple of times and decided to have lunch with a colleague. I ordered the rib tips and some fried chicken and was glad that I did. Chicken was crunchy juicy and not greasy. The rib tips were smoky and tender both came with this delicious sweet bbq sauce. Only issue was that there were no indoor dining except two tables outside. Definitely will go there again . read more

Terrible that day, chicken was very hard and dry, never again plus they shorten m a wing was very bad French fries are so bad never again

Good food every time. Service is good as well. One of my favorite spots. My coworkers and I eat here often. I have never had any issues.

The food here is amazing the turkey tips were so tender and the yams just melts in your mouth!!! The Mac n cheese was home style and the greens were phenomenal!! I had one of the infused cupcakes and wasn't a shot but it was a perfect taste!!!! From the sweets to the meet my family and I really enjoyed it all!!!!!! read more

Really nice staff. I got the rib tips and i really wish i didn't. It was very dry and chewy like beef jerky.

The best Chicken and rib joint on Taylor street. I ordered 50 wings for the first time the other day for a few co-workers and they all loved it. I went back two days later to try the rib tips and wasn't disappointed. I do love fry chicken and their are plenty of places to go near Taylor street. Hands down, this is my new go to joint. Thank you Jeff!!!! read more

food was incredible! i got the catfish, wings, yams, mac n cheese, greens, and okra. 10/10 all of them! staff was super friendly. looking forward to returning to try their desserts and shrimp!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly, and just all around great food. Prices were awesome! read more
