Ive known this place for over 16 years and their ribs are BAD! If you are a TRUE bbq person you will know that their ribs are HORRIBLE! The only reason I buy them every blue moon is when you want ribs soooooo bad and either everybody else is closed or you just dont wanna travel to get the good ones

Sometimes theres a long wait but its always worth that wait. Ive never been disappointed with the rib tips. Definitely recommend stopping for some food if youre in the area. ** Theyre closed on Sundays and Mondays. Sometimes they even go on vacation (you cant blame them) **

As a friend of mine says, "Without the sauce youre lost". The food at this place is very good. You might wait a little bit, but it is well worth it. The rib tips are always very tender and flavorful. The chicken is good too. I highly recommend this place.

Went there because it was a little too far to drive to Uncle Johns. I got an small tip. Yes, I agree with a review that I had read. The tips are tender, BECAUSE THEY ARE BOILED. Very tasteless. Should have gone to Uncle Johns.

You can Usually smell the smoke right when you get off 159th st. Have been going here for over 20years. Best ribs in city of Chicago and surrounding Burbs. CALL AHEAD or you will be waiting. worth the wait if you forget to call.

The people who are rating this place high dont know bbq..I ordered a rib/chicken cmbo.My ribs were cut paper thin and a tiny portion.The wings dry. The sauce was watered down and they gave me a bunch of frues..BLAND FOOD..

Worst ribs I ever had too much fat more fries then ribs although the hot wings were great. Service was bad 15 minutes later he asked me what did I order while people were coming in getting their orders . Ill never go back.

Been around since I was a small child,has never let me down will continue to support this black owned business. My favorite is the half smoked chicken, everything else is good also the sauce is heavenly

They have good food. I only wish the cooked the fries a little harder.. and that they didnt toss the bread on top of my food. I wish the accepted credit cards but other than that its good.


KA

Karen Felton

I have to say that their food is very reasonable and tasty. They dont accept debit/credit but that didnt stop me from trying them out!! Ribs are tender and BBQ sauce is excellent!!!!


AL

Alberto Salinas

Im. A tow truck driver,and always looking for great ribs. In all of Chicago Ive tried supposedly the best,... so over rated.Exsenators is the best above the rest.


ST

Steve Jackson

My wife calls ahead to order ribs usually once a week coming from work .We get tips & a small end ( 1/2 slab ) The ribs are so tender & love the sauce !


AL

Allysha Nobles

Excellent place and the food is always on point. The only downside is that it is very popular, so its often crowed, however the service is speedy.


PA

Pam Barker

This location doesnt have a working phone number. I called several times on a Saturday and the phone just rang and rang. Thats bad for business.


CL

Clarissa Bailey

If your a rich dog and hungry...this is the place for you because they will serve you majority bones and make you pay a high price for them.


GL

Glen Curry

Exsenators cook with wood. When you can see the smoke and smell the food down the street, its good barbequeing done right. But cash only.


TE

Terri Davis

The tips were just ok......the "Gristle" was tender though! Hot link was dry....my first time there, I had better and wont be back at all!


BR

Brenda Huey

Wow, Ive never had ribs like this before. They are totally off the chain. Came from Yorkville to try this. Well worth the drive for sure.


JU

Jus Rob

The tips are really good. I usually go to Lems in the city but when I dont feel like taking the drive...i come here. Also like the wings.


TR

Tracy Sanders

I love love love them meat fall off da bone u can smell them coming off the e way of a 159 east...a must have no bs


TI

Tina Farlow

Hit or miss. Im positive they use liquid smoke to compensate for something sometimes. It can be overwhelming.


CA

TE
