Wiley's is the best kept secret on the West side. Cash only. Wait time is not long if you call in your order. Sometimes the taste can be hit or miss. read more

Cash (ATM inside) and carry out only, so it's a small space with lots of people waiting. 20min wait for our order, but well worth it!!! I expected the tip "chunks," but was surprised to get the long cut tips, which yielded more meat than not. The wings taste like an afterthought, so meh on those & I didn't get my sauce (on the side) of the lg tips, as request. All in all, we were satisfied. read more

Wiley's Chicken and Ribs - Wing/Tip Combo - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

First of all I tried to place a large order for work for me and my coworkers at 11am was told They did not open till 1pm ! What business opens in the late afternoon after the lunchtime break. This need to addressed immediately!!! Because how are we supposed to support black owed businesses if they are never open on time Thanks you read more

The food is honestly family reunion-esk. It just feels like being around family when you eat it. The service was up to par and welcoming. The ambiance just screams Chicago west side bbq joint. (The clean ones) Must try. read more

They have good rib tips. I gave three stars because every time I order extra sauce through delivery I never get it and I pay for extra. The second time this has happened. read more

Wiley's Chicken and Ribs - I ordered extra sauce, and on the right is what it is supposed to look like. The second time this happened. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I can't describe how disappointed I was in the quality of my tips, lack of service and the high price for the quantity. Two people in line walked out while I waited. One demanded a refund. Sad thing is a guy that stood around like he was the owner said nothing. One thing for sure, this place would not last in any other neighborhood! With so few options on the westside guess people accept this garbage food. read more

Amazing ribs and sauce! One of the best in the city. Just make sure you have cash when you go.

Takeout joint in the heart of Madison shopping district with some pretty ok BBQ' I've only had their wings and turkey combo but it was really good. No sit in joint only to go, it's Madison, who wants to dine-in Pretty quick service. I like the turkey combo and would recommend it read more

Wiley's Chicken and Ribs - Heaven, that's what's In this photo - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Rib Tips and wings combo is amazing!!!! The staff was attentive. Location is the Westside of Chicago

Traveled to the Westside from the Southside. It was with the trip. Next I'm going to try the turkey tips. Rib tips were tender barbecue sauce was excellent. Reasonably priced. read more

I went to Wiley's on Saturday, ordered the mini rib tips & the sauce was very good. The rib tips are great with a little tenderness. Oohwee!! Will definitely be back. It is nice to have a great establishment in the hood. Customer service could have been better, but I assume that she was not having a good day. But, the rib rips trump the customer service. read more

Great tasting tips and sauce... steak burger good and juicy Good wings and coleslaw Definitely one of my favorite rib spots........and it all comes at a great price Worth the wait, but keep in mind that they do answer the phone most of the time(unless they're unbearably busy) so you can call to order.. read more

Everything was awesome. And the wait wasn't long at all! Best ribs in town !!!!! The staff was really nice also. I will be returning there soon. read more

It's a small little restaurant with no seating area. Service was pretty quick with how busy they were. My family and I decided to give them a try. We ordered 5 large rib tip dinners and I felt like I wasted my money because they were far below my standard of good rib tips. The meat was tuff and they were stingy on the bbq sauce. I've heard others brag about them so I'm not sure if I should give them another try because everyone has had a bad day before. Really not sure at this point. read more

I've been going to this place for years. I love their barbecue sauce and their meat is very tender and good. I've been to many barbecue places and this by far is the best one. from Chicago to Kentucky to Ohio even ATL. This been the best barbecue so far, I can't find it nowhere else 20 out of 10 . read more

The rib tips were tough as heck, all this after being threatened that even if I paid for a catered order and I don't pick it up in time, they would sale the food. I should have followed my 1st mind and went to Colemans. read more

Ok so if you know you know: I have a love/hate relationship with Wiley's their tips and sauce is sooo sooo very good, BUT getting them is sooo hard! #1 they hardly answer their phone. Sometimes I think they take it off the hook. To some that might not be a big deal however if you walk in be prepared to wait. #2 cash only - we are in the year of 2022 catch up! Please If you have the time or you can get through their line then get you an order of their tips....you will be a happy camper‼ read more

Good food. Great tips. Just call your order in. Eat good and enjoy life. I'll def Ben back for the ribs

The rib tips were delicious. Seasoned well, just enough sauce to coat the tips but not in attempts to cover burnt meat. I wish they would accept plastic, Apple Pay or something. Considering this restaurant is on Madison street, well known for crimes like purse snatching and the like. That's my only complaint! read more

The rib tip and hot link combo pan for $30 is so far I will continue to go here constantly this will be a place that I will always go for my barbecue even though it's on kind of rough side of town what I do is I order ahead and you have to have cash and I let a family number go out and get it while I sit in the car really good food read more

I'm very pissed I come here every 2 weeks all the way from Matteson il. I came yesterday with my dad he bought 2 pans the $26 ones hot links&tips&when I got home my fries was hard or stale&the links not fresh I come too far to keep getting disappointed.2 weeks ago I got the same thing&it wasn't hardly no meat in the pan I never wanted to give a bad review but come on wiley I be coming too far to be wasting my money&gas you all has too do better what's going on I never had this problem in the pass&I don't have time too come back doing the week no good but the service always good never a complaint with it.I really wanted this for yesterday&today but it's a waste don't taste fresh@all sad.thats it that's all my name is Veronica M. read more

Wiley's Chicken and Ribs - Rib tips&hot links&fries hardly no sauce on it just sad - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The rid tips are great. They are the number 1 bar b Que joint on the west side. Once you taste them you want to go back the next day for another order!!!! I'm addicted to the chicken wings!! read more

If your ever in the mood for good Chicago style bbq look no more Wiley's is everything you've been looking for food is tender and amazing sauce is on point and ribs melt in your mouth... I'm hungry just thinking about it!!!! read more

So damn good! Better than anything I ever had on the southside. They answered the phone and had it ready when I got there.

How can a bbq joint never have rib tips??? Every single time I go there There is some kind of note on the window "No tips until something o'clock", and not minutes, no I mean hours, EVERY time. I and several other customers were discussing the same thing, I honestly don't get it. I go to other bbq joints, i may wait 20-30 mins, but here, HOURS, and im not exaggerating. The rib tips are good, if you're feening and willing to wait, however the portion size is deceiving. They give you a heavy bag, but its full of fries, and small portion on meat. There moto should be, TASTES GREAT, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO WAIT. read more

Outstanding. Schmakin BBQ. Def must try My compliments To the pitmaster. I hear people talking about waiting time. I've definitely waited longer for a two piece w/rice n yams up the street, a couple times. read more

The tips use to be excellent several years ago. Today, I can honestly say that there's too much fat on the tips and I've gotten burned tips as well. Im afraid to spend my money with them now because of the fatty burned tips. Too too fatty and greasy. High cholesterol and gastro reflux for sure. I also ordered a tray for a Baby Shower recently and sadly most of the guests picked over the tips because they were too fatty. More fat than meat. I believe they don't trim their meat because they're used to cooking large amounts of it and just throw them in the grill as it is. Also, the cook needs to clean the racks on the grill... that's why they are very greasy. read more

The service is terrible calling when calling the place you speak to people that are very unprofessional. I would not tell anyone to eat there after the bad experience with calling and sending my husband up there to get an order the place need customer service 101. I would Not recommend this place to anyone. As the old saying goes the first impression could be your last impression. I would not recommend this place. Although my family stayed that they have been there before the service is terrible. read more

The rib tips and Chicken is the Best in Chicago, The staff is friendly to me, If you nice and respectful to them they give you the same energy. read more

I love this place! Rip tips, hot links and chicken are the best. THE SAUCE I can eat w bread. Lol They open at Noon by 3/4 you gotta wait for tips. They sell out fast. read more

they Don't open when it says and they DO NOT ANSWER THEY PHONE. I was sitting outside the restaurant and they turned the lights on then off once I started calling. I LIVE IN CHICAGO THEY NEED TO DO BETTER. yes food good but service horrible read more

This is good ole fashioned BBQ. A BBQ for the ages! The deliciousness of this porcine platter can't be described in words; it has to be experienced. The tips are amazingly tender & come bathed in a mild sauce that only enhances the charcoal flavor/aroma. It's taken me over 50+ years to discover what Wiley's has to offer. Let me tell ya'.. it was worth the wait! read more

Meat was greasy. Unprofessional and to many people stand outside restaurant. I will just make my own

I usually love this spot, but the last two times I went Rib Tips were tough & fries had too much grease on them. So I'm not wasting anymore of my money with them. Their not consistent enough for me. read more

Answer the phone!!! Or allow for online orders...I showed up to order and was turned away because I didn't have a phone order..but how can I if you don't answer? It's ridiculous! Food is good but not worth the inconvenience and headache... read more

This place is legit! From the grease dots on the brown bag to the schmoky flavor of their tender rib tips. Maaaan I'm salivating typing this, gotta get back over there and get my tip fix on, the neighborhood is kind of shaky so I go when I'm feeling tough, Lol read more

This spot opens when it feels like it. They pick and choose who they will take phone orders from. I call they say you order in person I get there then here customers walking up to the counter say pick up for call on for so-and-so. They cater but they don't have a system in place to order ahead and pick up, but you can drive pass on any particular day and smell the smoker with the gates half lifted because they are cooking for private events. Their attitudes stink especially the grandmother figure that's always at the register at least when they are open. Not even as good as they were before the original owner passed away. They just need to do better read more

Been here a couple of times and so far I've tasted the chicken wings, rib tips and, links all really good. My favorite would be the rib tips. Not the best location but that makes this a legit bbq joint in my eyes. Customer service ain't the best. Great BBQ. read more
