    First visit to Rickettes and I really enjoyed the food. The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce was like the cherry on top..Loved the Chicago themed music also.

    Rib Tip, Wing & Link Combo,  Roll, and Extra Mild Sauce on it. It doesn't look like extra mild sauce.  I'll just get a cup of sauce to go.

    Food was really good. I did go at the end of the night. Got there about 8p so wasn't surprised that the chicken wasn't cooked fresh. It was still good with good flavor. I got the tip, link and wing combo. It was a good amount. I ate on it for 2 days. The only reason I gave 4 stars was that I asked for extra sauce, and I paid for it. However, it didn't appear to be extra sauce. I'm from Chicago and familiar with the brand, as I've had it plenty of times in Chicago. Just felt like it should have been drenched in sauce in true Chicago style. This is my go to spot for bbq in Atlanta. It's a 30 minute drive, but worth it! Also, I received one roll for all that food. That's insane! Service was pretty good. A little hood in the area. But, no big deal, mind my business, watch everyone and in and out! To go spot. No dining whatsoever.

    This place is nothing short of amazing! I stopped by right before closing and they food was fresh, the owner and cashier were both pleasant they even allowed me to sample their turkey tips I'm definitely ordering next time. They need a location in the city so everyone could experience all their greatness. Most importantly their customer service is top notch‼ will be supporting this family owned business

    I woke up Saturday wanting barbecue. I don't know why but I thought about this place instantly. I had been wanting to try out this place after seeing them on Instagram. The place is in Greenbriar Parkway literally 2 miles away from my location. Luckily for me they were on Uber Eats. Yes! I ordered a Rib tips & Wings Combo $18.50. 3 wings, Tips, fries and rolls. Mild Sauce and Barbecue Sauce on the side. The food container is completely wrapped in heavy duty foil to avoid a mess. They included napkins and fork. Thank you because most businesses do not include utensils for take out. The wings were well seasoned not overly salty and very crispy. They were so good. It reminded me of Philly style chicken wings. The rib tips were meaty. Not super tender and not super tough. That was good for me because I like my ribs kind of chewy. I also could tell they were smoke in a grill not oven baked. Real barbecue. The bbq sauces were so good, you could just continuously dip or pour it on your food not to mention licking your fingers. Food was enjoyable. I will return.

    I've had Rickettes bookmarked for a while after seeing it on IG so when I was near the area on Sunday I decided to check it out. The restaurant is take out only. The lady who took my order was friendly and gave me some recommendations especially for the sauce. I ordered the turkey tips & wing combo that comes with fries. I told them to put light sauce on the wings & the turkey. No sauce on the fries. I also ordered a side of green beans since they were out of the mixed greens. When I got my order the container was wrapped in foil to keep the sauce from spilling out. It also helped keep the food warm. I had over a 30min drive to my house. The sauce was good, but it was a little too much for me. I would have preferred to only have it on the turkey & not on the wings. Next time I'll definitely get it on the side. The wings & fries were good.

    As a Chicago native I'm always excited to try places that have food from my hometown. I was referred here from another ChiTown native for a good place to grab bbq. We ordered Turkey Rib tips , Italian beef, Mac and cheese, with greens. The Turkey rib tips changed my whole perspective on BBQ! It was that good! Come with fries and a roll. If they wanted the real Chicago touch it would've been two slices of bread. Lol, but still good nonetheless. The Italian beef is was just ok. Typically when you order an Italian beef from any place that sells it, you have the option for the au jus (dip) on the side. This place has to dip it since they don't have styrofoam, which essentially made the sandwich very soggy. The sides were very delicious! The greens with turkey meat was my absolute favorite. I took a star off cause the menu was just so extensive, and the cashier had no idea what anything was. It happens. Also took the star off because the sandwich was soggy, although the flavors were good. I'd definitely come here again, and recommend it to anyone who wants good Chicago bbq!

    Wings and turkey tips

    Parked right in front went in spoke with a lady and a man (presumed to be owner) couldn't have been nicer people. Never seen or thought of turkey tips but without hesitation ordered and was able to try a sample To ensure I was pleased. I got the turkey tips and wings with fries which were all amazing. The sauce is really a hit although not much is needed, it definitely takes to the flavor overboard. Looking forward to trying them again soon.

    Service here is very friendly. The cleanliness is also impressive. We ordered the Chicken and Fish. Disappointed because we were told it would be catfish, and it was definitely not. The chicken was fried well and had a great flavor(did notice the grease flavor was a little less than fresh). Will return to try the Turkey Leg!

    I've seen this place walked by... Smelled the aromas coming out of this place and saw the reasonably priced combos on the window.. I said I must definitely give it a try. So today was the day .. a Saturday afternoon around 4pm.. man the parking lot was booming.. parking is somewhat limited bc there are other food spots in the same strip plaza. .... .... Luckily I found a spot across the parking lot bc I was on my way out if I couldn't find a spot. .... .... Take out only. When I went I was able to place my order right away. Unsure of what I wanted.. I asked the lady that greeted me with a smile.. what do people normally get.. she said wings. I opted for the 4 bone rib with 2sides and comes with a "Pop' . I choose Mac n cheese . It was good had a good flavor. Second side was fried okra.. man the portion was so big. I had leftovers. The ribs were seasoned well I really didn't need the sauce ( I got that on the side.. it was sweet and tangy . Good) Reason for 4 stars. The ribs were not fall off the bone tender but they were good and I'd give them another try. (Key to tender ribs slow cooking) I didn't try any of the desserts they had in the case. See video to view the sweets. If you are in the Greenbriar area.. they are in the plaza in front of Kroger.
