    We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious everything was !!! So flavorful and tender. My hubby doesn’t even like Mac & cheese but he gobbled it up here. We’re born and raised Chicagoans and we usually stay away from the more “touristy areas” but we decided to give this place a shot, MAN were we blown away by the food and service !! They accidentally seated us at the wrong table (an area they were preparing for a large group) and so we had to move after we started drinking our cocktails. We didn’t mind at all because they asked so politely but they gave us a complimentary dessert for the inconvenience. That wasn’t even necessary but we really appreciated it. SO happy we found a great BBQ spot that we love, so close to home !!

    I love barbeque and had an amazing meal when I came the first time about a year ago. This time it was just good rather than great. I had the brisket plate and I got 2 small but thick slices of brisket which were about half fat. I did ask for the fat included option versus the dry option but I've made smoked brisket and I know that fat doesn't not represent 50% of the cut. Maybe its best to go for a combo if you want a more natural combination of meat and fat.

    Restaurant wasn’t busy, but our waiter was not very attentive.. every time we needed something we had to track him down and get his attention. At one point he was standing in corner on his phone while we sat ready to order.

    Everything was great. I was running late and I gave them a call and they were able to hold my spot for a few minutes while I ran in. I was being served by Josh and he did a great job. Josh paired a great beer for my food and whiskey. The food came in a timely manner and the drinks were great. I will definitely be back sooner than later.

    The food was solidly good and there was a lot of it... more than we needed! Considering we had no alcohol I thought the final price tag was a bit steep. But my son loved his half-slab of ribs and his face when this meaty goodness arrived was well worth the price of admission. Service was good... not attentive but not a problem either. Rest rooms were clean but very DARK.

    Food is always good. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable. A couple of snags this time: Despite requesting "normal" table on OpenTable, and adding "no high top" in the reservation comment, the host still tried to seat us at a high-top. And while select local beer is part of the appeal here, the first two beers I asked for were unavailable: Anti-Hero, and Daisy Cutter. (Server was able to offer a non-on-the-menu alternative that fit the bill.)

    We chose Bub City - Rosemont for the live music offering and ambience. Our service, food and drinks were excellent but very disappointed in the experience as the live music came on over an hour late and only played for a little less than an hour. Had we known this to be the scenario we would have dined elsewhere in hopes of having the meal and entertainment we were seeking.

    Our food was delicious; however, we felt like we were served so quickly and rushed out. It wasn't crowed (surprising for a Saturday evening) and still felt rushed. It took us longer to get to the restaurant than to eat. From sit down to finish, it was 30 minutes for an appetizer and dinner. The flavors were on point and we enjoyed the uniqueness of serving pimento cheese with the guacamole and chips for a snack. Also, the cole slaw was very good. Probably the best I've had at a restaurant! Overall, the food was delicious but the service was a rush to get us in and out.

Weekday lunch service features the “Meat & Three” lunch special and family style options. Upscale Southern specials and comfort foods are also offered for more extravagant affairs.
  • Private party facilities
    Both Bub City and Joe’s Live offer event and party options for groups ranging from eight to 1,500 guests. From corporate dinners and bachelorette parties to VIP experiences in one of the private rooms that overlook the Joe’s stage, the space offers a wide variety of entertainment for groups. In addition to in-restaurant event capabilities, Bub City also provides off-site catering and rents out “The Rig,” a mobile barbecue trailer that brings the barbecue experience right to guests’ doors.
