    Their Texas ribs are the best ribs I have had. Their sandwiches and brisket is very good too. But go for the ribs you won't be sorry!

My companion is vegetarian and had a variety of options. We ordered at the counter and picked a table. I ordered the grilled salmon with cornbread and green beans, and my companion had the chili. Chili was a large portion and she enjoyed it. The salmon had grill marks and a charred taste and was cooked well. It was the first day it had been on the menu, I would order it again. Green beans still had a bite to them which was exactly what I wanted. Mushy green beans are unappetizing. Corn bread was sweet. With lots of events at HPHS in my future, I will definitely be back.

We finally decided to give them another shot at their HighWood location and I can say, we will probably never eat there again. It wasn't the food, it was more the service. So we ordered our family fest for dine it. The restaurant wasn't packed, but was occupied with a good amount diners. We weren't given enough silverware, so we requested more and got handed a basket with silverware. I went to place it on the table and it laid unevenly, so I lifted it up and found what looked like a black rubber stopper. After inspecting it more, I realized it was a rubber chair foot covering. How the hell it ended up on the table, I don't really know, except I'm pretty sure it was stuck onto the bottom of the basket that they gave me. Regardless- how unsanitary. How was something that should be on the bottom of a chair, make its way on top of a table?? And when I brought it to the attention of one of the workers- he "apologized" like it was no big deal. By then I had already lost my appetite. It made me question the cleanliness of the place... never again....

He had a fresh rack coming off the smoker which I found shocking considering it was almost 11PM!!! I spend a lot of time down in Texas and have had a lot of really good BBQ over the years. These ribs are easily ranked among the top ribs I've ever eaten. They have a beautiful dry rub, and are so juicy and tender, you don't need any sauce. The smoke line is perfect. I usually prefer my ribs with a sauce, but these honestly don't need a drop. The staff is warm and friendly, and there's a tremendous sense of pride they put into their food. If you're anywhere near Wicker Park I highly recommend you give them a try. I can't wait to go back and try that brisket.

Charging $7 for bread is ridiculous on its own, especially when the food quality doesn't match the price. On top of that, an automatic 18% gratuity was added for a party of four, which felt excessive given the experience. When I called to address these concerns, I was placed on hold for 15 minutes and no one returned to the call. When I called back, the staff was extremely rude and told me I would have to call again. Between stale-tasting food, unreasonable charges, and poor customer service, this was not an experience I would repeat or recommend.
