Brisket was really good especially since they asked what my preference of cut was. The cornbread always pretty spot on too.My only regret was that I got the sweet sauce. It was good but the briskets flavor seemed like it would fit better with a spicer sauce. That being said that was my own choice. Everything they did was great.
I got off the orange line at Quincy - headed to the Skydeck. Looking for something to eat. The first thing I noticed, the sign had limited hours 11-3. Once inside the menu is on two rolls of brown paper (that are table cloths when eating crabs). ** I f you want the burnt ends get here early - 1230 and the last order was sold in front of me. I had a great Brisket sandwich and Mac & Cheese. The staff is very courteous and the music selection makes you feel like you are sitting at a backyard BBQ. Only thing missing is a nice cold spirit (not sold here).
Prices are very reasonable.
It was my first time eating here and the beef Brisket was really tender and flavorful even without a sauce. They have really good options for sauces: I had Chicago (sweet and spicy) and Memphis (sweet). I chose the platter and it comes with a side of pickles and apple coleslaw which is really refreshing and light and compliments the meat well. The place is rustic vibe and very accessible if you work around the west loop area.
Man listen, soft-smokey and tender brisket, they let me split the portion and try the Sausage. Gruyere Mac, Cornbread with little kernels still inside whaT!?
Can't take a picture because it's already gone. Thank you!
Good BBQ, and very close to work. I usually get the brisket and the elotes. They don't offer some of the sides they have at other locations, but you never leave unsatisfied.
TEXAN APPROVED! Without a doubt, the best BBQ in Chicago. I moved here from Texas and was dying for some great BBQ. (I actually had friends visiting from Texas bring me brisket on the plane.) There are some okay and some good BBQ places that I've tried in Chicago but Blackwood BBQ reminds me of home. I love just stepping in the doorway and stopping to smell. There is nothing like the smell of great BBQ. Even the sweet tea reminds me of Texas. I do wish they would make brisket and bacon breakfast tacos. The BBQ is great and the employees are super friendly too. I hope to see everyone here every Friday at lunch. If you're visiting from out of town, come to Blackwood BBQ and you're home.
