Earl's BBQ

If you are looking for true authentic barbecue this is the place. While I enjoy the ribs my personal favorite is the wing and rib tip combo. The flavor and tenderness are incredible. The barbecue sauce here is amazing rich and perfectly balanced with that homemade taste you cannot fake. Everything is fresh satisfying and cooked with real care. Whenever I am in the mood for genuine barbecue this is my go to spot. I would definitely recommend Earls BBQ to anyone who has a real taste for barbecue. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely loved this spot my dad put me on to! I had the spicy Polish sausage and it was phenomenal; perfect snap with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor. The BBQ beans were also a standout: rich, well seasoned, and the chunks of brisket mixed in were a really nice touch. I also tried the ribs, which had a great smoky flavor and were cooked just right. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!!

I stopped here on a whim. I haven't found a good BBQ place on the far north side of Chicago for awhile. I'm glad I did. As soon as I walked in the smokey smell that hit me was perfect. The space inside isn't huge, but it is comfortable and cozy and has a good atmosphere with plenty of light and some nice outdoor seating as well. It's near a busy intersection, so it's not particularly quiet outside, but still would be a nice option in winter. The food was excellent. I'm really picky about my brisket, and this was to there for sure. Top five I've had in Chicago. Not too fatty and very flavorful. Collared greens were excellent as well... Full of flavor, but not overpowering. They had four sauces available. All were thick and tasty. The Carolina sauce was sweet and tangy, but didn't have much of the mustard flavor I like. This was more present in the Georgia sauce, which was surprising. Maybe the bottles were switched? Hot wasn't super hot, but it did have a good smokey robust flavor. All in all, it was a very good BBQ experience. Definitely recommended. I am coming back for sure.
