    We went for dinner before the show at Zanies next door. It was very good. The server was super nice and attentive, while allowing us to take our time and not feel rushed, as well. The food was delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my hub had the patty melt. We both really enjoyed our meals.

    Great service! Food was pretty good except the brisket and eggs could have fared better with larger chunks vs more of a petite diced option.

    I’ve had good experiences at Bub City in the past, but this visit was underwhelming. The Nashville hot chicken lacked flavor and was mostly just spicy without much else going on. The mac and cheese was good, but the brisket on top was just okay. Previously, the brisket was shredded, saucy, and full of flavor, so I’m not sure what changed. We visited on a Sunday when it wasn’t very busy, but the overall atmosphere felt a little lifeless compared to my previous visits. This location used to have such a lively, fun energy, which was part of what made the experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, both the food and atmosphere fell short this time around.

    Great barbecue which isn’t what you’d expect in Rosemont Illinois.

    Great food and great service. If you haven’t tried not tried their Cinnamon Whiskey, then I strongly urge you to do so! So smooth! I’m not a whiskey drinker but after a taste, I had to buy some to take home!

    Really disappointing experience. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, yet it took forever for a server to come to our table. We eventually had to ask someone to take our order. Once we finally ordered, the food took an incredibly long time to arrive, and when it did, it was cold. To make matters worse, the music was so loud we could barely hear each other speak. Between the slow service, cold food, and uncomfortable atmosphere, it was not an enjoyable dining experience. Definitely expected better.

    The food was great. The service was excellent. I haven't seen such a polite, attentive, wait staff in a very long time. Abundant parking in the parking lot.
