Windy City Ribs & Whiskey

Shagmond Lowery

Windy City Ribs & Whiskey is a very good place to enjoy a smooth a easy going lunch or dinner. Chicago has over the years opened up to the open restaurant window concept and Windy City Ribs & Whiskey has it. When you sit inside you feel relaxed and ready to get to eating some delicious BBQ. I tried the sampler they have to offer which gives you rib tips, a half slab, chicken and a portion of beef brisket. All of them were delicious and tender. The beef brisket was good no doubt. The rib tips were cooked how rib tips should be cooked. The half slab falls off the bone. The chicken, man the chicken is amazing. The fries they have are seriously on point too. Now please keep in mind they are using a Midwest style sauce so it has that tangy taste that can be a change of pace from the deep south sauce that tends to be sweet. Either way you'll love it and the service is on point too. If you want some great BBQ this is a great spot to get some. Five stars from me!

Unexpectedly good food. Wanted ribs, got the BBQ sampler: Ribs, Rib Tips, Wings, & Sausage. Green Beans and Mexican Corn. All I can say is this was a great stop to eat. Then the ladies that are in the joint and the ones that come by or walk by are 🔥🔥🔥😉. Windy City Ribs & Wings is definitely 5out5. See yall again fam.

There was just a small eat-in area and when we first walked in (the lables above the doors are just for marketing...multiple people were confused for which door and were questioning whether they were open through the window), there was only one person cooking, prepping meals, and taking care of patrons... Props to them for holding down the fort! Shortly after, another worker came on for their evening shift. The food was delicious. We had a couple people order the sampler platter (neither could finish, but they gave it a good try). I got the brisket sandwich and it was very good. The fries were seasoned and tasty. There were a few other patrons that were friendly and we struck up conversations. All-in-all, a good experience.

Nice, quaint and cozy restaurant and bar with a friendly staff and family-like atmosphere. There's a decent menu but not a ton of options if you don't eat pork. We chose chicken sandwich, beef hot links and wings with a side of Mexican corn All were tasty but nothing was off the charts and the one BBQ sauce selection was a little unexpected. The drinks were average servings and did the job. All in all it was a good experience. I'd go back.
