Blackwood BBQ serves some of the BEST bbq beef brisket in Chicago - and amazingly enough, during lunch hours in the loop (three locations. Michigan Ave & South Water, Lake and Wells, and Clinton and Madison) You can order your brisket one of three ways: Fatty, Regular, or Lean. Brisket is a cut of beef that has a significant amount of fat to it, which can be a turn off for some. Fatty is basically the brisket sliced and served to you - nothing reduced. Lean is just that - no fat. and I believe (because I have order it this way) regular is a mix of fatty and lean; essentially, less fat. On to the sauces... Honestly, if youre getting brisket - dont add any sauce. The brisket is so good it can stand on its own. But if you must know, Blackwood has a series of BBQ sauces you can choose to apply to your meats. I used to get the Chicago (sweet and spicy). You can also opt for Memphis (sweeter), Kansas City (spicier), North carolina (vinegar based), South Carolina (mustard based), or Alabama ("White sauce in the celebrated Southern style"). But honestly - if youre getting brisket - dont add any sauce. The brisket is so good it can stand on its own.

Stopped here for breakfast on opening day of the new location. Had one of the breakfast sandwiches and loved it. The staff was friendly and suggested which BBQ they felt would best go for breakfast and the cashier had a smile for every customer that went by. The food was fantastic and while I ended up eating it with a knife and fork from being a little messy, my taste buds had 0 complaints. Im so glad we have a new breakfast/lunch spot in the building that isnt pure fast food AND is at a good price point for both!

Amazing food! Ate here two days straight for lunch. Im looking forward to the next time Im in Chicago to get me some BBQ! But careful, your clothing will smell like BBQ if you stay in the restaurant for a bit too long.

Delicious brisket topped with their Chicago style sauce, and a side of 3 cheese mac. Great food at an affordable price and friendly staff. Too bad I dont live in Chicago...

Their smoked briskett breakfast bowl was so good! It had scrambled eggs, potatoes, and pepper. Also love the different bbq sauces to choose from. :)

where are the women who used to work here? They were faster, friendlier, and better at customer service than the new folks
