Cevapi is amazing. I like lamb and was surprised to find it at a BBQ food truck. It was a great surprise. My husband had the Smokin' Hot butt, also enjoyable. Staff is great. Our runner really hustled and had such a great attitude. read more

Smokin BBQ Kitchen - Lamb and beef with onion on a pita so good - Food Trucks Near Me

The food was good and the sauce was like homecoming bbq sauce. The cashiers were very pleasant and friendly. The tv show that morning on news made me Travel to this place definitely worth the drive read more

Apparently this truck regularly sits outside the On Tour Brewing Company, and it is basically worth a trip in its own right. This is not only the best food truck I've been to in the city of Chicago, it is some of the best smoked brisket I have had, bar none. The brisket (which I had in both a sandwich and as the topping to some loaded french fries) has a seriously sharp smoky edge, is rich and tender without being unbearably fatty, and is just generally a testament to the art of smoke. My wife described it as finally revealing to her why people like smoked brisket. They do nice things in the sandwiches, too, stacking them with some fresh vegetables including sliced jalapenos. Just wonderful. read more

Smokin BBQ Kitchen stopped by Hailstorm Brewery on Saturday, the food was amazing. The hot links are in no way hot or spicy, but my bbq pulled pork cheese fries were delicious. Great staff, they brought our food into the brewery after we ordered. read more

This food truck was at the Imperial Oak Brewery when we visited so we had them for lunch. The Cevapi sandwich was delicious! Great flavor & seasoned perfectly, and it didn't take to long for our order to be ready, considering how busy they were. The team was upbeat and friendly, too. read more

My fiance and I are really confused at these great reviews because our first experience definitely was not wonderful. Hit the truck up on a Sat and ordered the "low carb" portion of shred bbq for $8. What a rip off. It was drenched in a mediocre bbq sauce then topped with MORE sauce. Could not taste the meat and it was shredded so thin I feel like you basically just pay for sauce. We both agreed it was less than impressive and a very small portion for cost-we wouldn't visit the truck again. read more

Smokin BBQ Kitchen - "No carb pork"...pass...all sauce and small portion...rip off! - Food Trucks Near Me

A few of us joined them for their debut at Hailstorm Brewing Co in Tinley Park. This is the brainchild of Alex the Master Roaster of EuroPigInc.com catering company. They've equipped a food truck with a smoker and are currently serving up hot links, brisket and pulled pork. The links were our favorite. Someone needs some training when it comes to slicing brisket. Much of it was sliced with the grain, making it seem tough vs tender. Pulled Pork already had their sauce mixed in, I prefer to add sauce only if it's warranted. Brisket had no sauce, but was rough cut and had a lot of fat/flavor. Links had a slight drizzle of sauce and served atop fries. We ordered a pound of both brisket and pulled pork and a large hot link, which comes with fries and 3 links. The gal was having issues with the register. We had already figured up our total 12+14+9+6=41 and some how she rang up $60? Even when she used her phone she said $42? Sides need work, the baked beans/mac n cheese were served at room temperature and need some doctoring up. You can add 2 sides to make it a meal for $3. Coleslaw was tiny and vinegar based, not a fan. Baked beans seemed to be flavored with sloppy Joe style beef. (needs some brisket) Mac n cheese needs a better flavor of cheese and both would have been more enjoyable, had they been served hot. Definitely an interesting concept and I'm sure they'll work through their opening night jitters. Orders were being sent out in pieces and several customers were waiting a long time for missing items. They only have the one window for both ordering and pick up, which makes for a very congested line. Follow them on social media and give them a try. read more

The only thing spacial about this food truck is the truck, not the food. $10 for semi-functional brisket on a Jewel-Osco hamburger bun. Same thing with the portobello sandwich. The sides are in thimble sized cups. read more

Good god damn! While visiting On Tour Brewing Co. we ordered food from this food truck outside. All I can say is wow! I had the brisket sandwich and my boyfriend had the pulled pork mack&cheese, both were delicious! read more

Being from Texas originally, I've eaten so much brisket in my life. But, I can honestly say that this brisket is the best brisket I've ever had in my life. I'm a huge fan of this place and it gets the stamp of approval from a Proud Texan read more

Omg...this food truck is absolutely fantastic...combine it with imperial oak beer and you will be very happy

The BEST BBQ that I have ever had. The mac n cheese topped with BBQ pork was outstanding. The Mac n cheese was creamy with a fresh just cooked texture. The BBQ pork was tasty with just the right amount of sauce and the sweet pickle on top rounded out this unique dish perfectly. Then I tried the brisket. Again outstanding. Perfectly prepared with a light cilantro sauce that made this dish tasty and unique. Do yourself a favor and give this truck a try, not your average BBQ but truly unique flavors. read more

I was on a brewery trip in Illinois and this food truck stopped by a brewery we visited. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It had a nice smokey taste. But I actually wanted the brisket but they didn't have it at that night. So my friends ordered the hot links, there were just dunked in BBQ sauce and not smoked. So go with the pulled pork or if they have try the brisket. Can't recommend the hot links. read more

Tried Smokin BBQ Kitchen for the first time at Hailstorm. The pulled pork sandwich is FANTASTIC! The mac n cheese is only ok, which is why my review is 4 stars rather than 5. The service is fast and friendly, and I like that they have multiple vegetarian options for my husband. I look forward to having more pulled pork from this truck!!! read more

very disappointed with this scam called a food truck this past weekend! for $20 i got a bbq brisket sandwich and loaded fries that i wouldnt feed to a stray dog!! the brisket was sized like a white castle slider. the beef tasted like rubber, and the sauce tasted like its sat on a shelf for 4 years. horrible!!! dont get me started on the "loaded" fries. 3 chunks of beef, 16 fries and some nacho cheese. this is not a bbq food truck. this is a scam on wheels!! never again will i eat from this truck and if i do see them somewhere i will stand outside of their truck and protest their operation!! read more

This brisket is the BEST!! My wife and I have had Smokin' Bbq Kitchen several times and every time it has been AMAZING! The combination of onions, cilantro, and sweet, tender brisket sings like a heavenly choir on the palet! Coupled with a "SouthSide Irish Red" beer from Hailstorm brewery, and you have a winning combination! Death and taxes may be a guarantee in life, but so is INCREDIBLE brisket from these barbecue enthusiasts! 6 out of 5 stars! read more
