All-Out Smoke Pit

I went in on Christmas Eve with my mom as I’m only home in Chicago rarely and always craving a good wing/tip combo and we were recommended this place. From the moment we walked in we were greeted very warmly by the woman that owns it. She took our orders swiftly and while we waited I walked in astonishment as she ran that business like a well oiled machine. Very hands on from being in the front on the register to making food in the back. She was preparing a catering order and it smelled sooooo damn good. Me and my mom were practically drooling over the sweet potatoes. We had asked if we could order some but that night they were only preparing them for catering but had told us to give her a second to see if she had any leftover from her catering order. She gave us a sample of not only the sweet potatoes but also the green beans, both of which were DELICIOUS. The green beans were so good even my mom loved them (which is rare because lady is not big on veggies. That just tells you how good they were). We ordered 2 wing/tip combos (rib tips) (and a side of yams) and they were delicious. Like to the point that we over stuffed ourselves eating them, but like… we just couldn’t stop. The kicker is that they were even good the next day, reheated. With owners with customer like that that cook like that???? This will definitely be my go to when I come home.

I would give this restaurant a higher rating if they would get rid of these nasty french fries. I don’t like battered french fries as it is, and then they have the nerve to add mild sauce on them as if that’s gonna make it better. 🙄 The rib tips are good, but I think the large is overpriced.

Food was absolutely amazing, never been and trying to find a decent rib tip place around here is like slim to none. But I’m glad i got a chance to finally try it! I ordered a small link and tip combo with Mac and cheese, and got my mother a small tip with baked beans and ordered a potato salad. I never received my potato salad but hopefully they will let me pick it up another day after I called. But overall the link was amazing!!! The tips were just as good. Definitely will be back. They were all pleasant as well when I placed my order to picking up my order.

UPDATE (9/28/25): all out leadership got in touch with me to understand my issue. they were really apologetic and showed a genuine desire to fix the issue. after receiving a new order of pork hot links and rib tips, I was very impressed not only with the service but the quality and taste of the food. to my surprise I actually loved the rib tips better than the hot links. I will definitely support this restaraunt in the future ..finally a place than can replace ribs and soul. ORIGINAL REVIEW: i ordered pork hot links but 1 1_2 hours later received dried out chicken. ordered through Uber eats.

Take out only. Got a large tip. They were spot on. Tender with a bite. Sauce was tasty (got mild) and just enough fries. Put this on your list.

UPDATED!!!! Out of good faith, gave this business another chance unbeknownst to them and the food and service was great. I appreciate the opportunity to change my review to something positive to support this business ___________________________________________ One of the worst take out experiences I've ever had. We waited over an 1 hour for our order. They ran out of ribs and was told 20 more minutes which turn into another hour. This was our first and last visit. So disappointed. Please learn to respect your customers. We drove a 30 minutes to give this business a chance. But I refuse to pay for poor customer service. .

All Out Smoke Pit delivers a solid BBQ experience that hits all the right notes. The timing for when my order would be ready was spot on, and the text notification arrived exactly as promised, giving me confidence in their process. Payment was simple and seamless, adding to the hassle-free experience. The food was fresh, hot, and packed with that smoky, flavorful goodness you hope for in a BBQ spot. On my order for the night were turkey tips, pork tips, links, and grilled BBQ wings, paired with a large side of macaroni n cheese—and everything hit the mark except for the BBQ sauce 😬. What set this place apart was the exceptional customer service, which exceeded my expectations compared to other local dining experiences. It’s clear they care about both their food and their customers. All Out Smoke Pit is definitely a place I’ll return to. Overall rating: 9/10.

I love the rib tips small and large the sauce for the bbq is one of a kind sweet and savory! And the baked beans and mac are a choice too. Thanks Guys☺️

I would give this restaurant a higher rating if they would get rid of these nasty french fries. I don't like battered french fries as it is, and then they have the nerve to add mild sauce on them as if that's gonna make it better. The rib tips are good, but I think the large is overpriced.

The slab of ribs were meaty but not too smoky. The mixed sauce was okay but not great. The French fries were crispy and delicious. I expected a more smoky taste to the ribs since they are being smoked outside. Overall the meal was okay. I will try the food another time.

I almost did not share this review because my initial experience was very good, which brought me back to this establishment again. I recently visited the restaurant to pick up an online order that was prepaid for in the early afternoon only to arrive at the restaurant and have to wait an additional 40 minute wait on my food. I ordered online and prepaid for it, but I took it with stride and enjoyed the conversation with a gentleman who also raved about this restaurant in his past experiences with their good food. When I took my food home and begin to eat it because it was still hot. I noticed that the food was extremely dry and overcooked. I'm not sure how this would happen after I waited an extra 40 minutes past the time that it was supposed to be ready. I was very disappointed with my meal. I am a true believer of patronizing black businesses and I have several friends who also patronize this establishment, but they too have noticed the decline with the restaurant and the food quality. I hope that they can correct their faults before they open their new establishment in Tinley Park Illinois, if not I guarantee that I nor my friends will return. I forgot to mention I spent almost $70 on food that most of it was thrown out because was overcooked and I couldn't eat it.

Super by for the first time last week and was recommended the turkey tips. I'm hooked. I've driven by this place so many times and am kicking myself for never stopping. Don't be like me, try it out to sooner than later. Im a lil sad they arnt open Mondays, but they deserve a day off too.

Good food... The Barbecue was pretty decent & my significant other also enjoyed their food as well.

OH MY! The state claims to be the best in the Midwest; it is indeed true. I eat there once a week and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!!!! From Simmons

Came here after a party in the area. My husband and I always like to get a bit of everything when we try a new place. We got the Mac and cheese, baked beans, rib tips and fries I was speaking to Antoine (I hope I spelled it correctly!) and who he called the Grillmaster in the back of the take out area. Very friendly and answered my random questions. They said they will be having a grand opening Sept 16. We got home and got to try the food. We have other BBQ choices in the area but I am here to tell you this will be our spot. Husband is picky on his BBQ and liked this a lot. I particularly enjoyed the baked beans with ground beef. Wishing success to this business!!

Insane wait time. Not worth the wait no.matter.what stay far away from this unless you have a whole afternoon or evening yo spend

Oh my God! My small tips were delicious; very tender and flavorful. For my first time there I was quite impressed. It's refreshing to get great bbq close to home.

I placed my first order yesterday at 5:45pm online for a 7:15 curbside pickup. I arrived at 7:13 and clicked the link I'm here for curbside pickup. I called at 7:25 and was advised that it will be another 25 minutes before my rib tips will be ready. I waited in my car until 8:05 and went inside. I was told again it would be another 25 minutes for the tips. The counter person apologized that I was misinformed the first time. I cancelled my order. As I was walking in the house , I got a call that stated the manager would drop off my order on there way home, I provided my address, and the order would arrive in approximately 25 minutes.I was called back and asked if I was going to pay with credit or cash with a discount. I cancelled, again. I felt for my inconvenience that it should have been free. I had waited over an hour for my original order and then asked to wait additional 20 minutes after I had arrived home. I had to contact you for status twice, good business practice would be to inform me prior that my order was being delayed and offer me a chance to decide what to do. I

Went one time 2 months ago....overated will never go back....tips were tuff...tasted like they were boiled and then thrown on the grill

The brisket was amazing! Incredibly tender and not dried out! The beans were also out of this world! Great food!!!

Ate here a year ago, drove from Kankakee! I have a taste for the Turkey Tips RIGHT NOW!

One hour wait time and the place is not crowded. They informed me that they are waiting for rib tips. I hope their food is worth this wait. Part 2. Got the food after a 1 hour and 10 minute wait. Ordered four wings the size of Cornish hen wings. The tips were tough as heck. Needless to say I was not the only one there that was pissed. The problem was with the pit master cooking out back. They and everyone else was waiting on him so he was rushing and we paid the price with tough meat. Terrible experience

Incredible Turkey Tips & Fries! The Turkey flavor & smoke was great. Workers were so nice & approachable, was waiting for my order & the manager was chillin & chatting with me, the cashier was friendly & a good vibe in restaurant

Food was absolutely amazing and was hot when it came out. I can't wait to come back again.

My first visit was not great but I wanted to give them another shot to see if they just had an off day. First time that I was there, I was greeted with friendly faces. This time, as I was approaching from parking spots there was some guy going crazy, screaming out by the smoker. Needless to say, that tone continued inside where it seemed as if I was bothering them when I waited to place my order. The place was clean during both visits. I ordered the exact same items and the results were nearly the same. The baked beans improved from being straight out of a can with alot of added brown sugar to having meat and seasoning but still far too sweet. The mac n cheese was the same, underseasoned overcooked pasta. The tips were tough on both visits. The hot link was much better the second time. Coleslaw was MIA for both visits. I feel confident that my review is accurate based on my two experiences. Very mediocre food

BBQ rib tips were tender and delicious. I have been several times. Potato salad was also good. My grandson loves the Mac and cheese.

DO NOT ORDER!!! People post stuff to get small businesses up and coming. But I'm speaking the TRUTH!!! The service is horrible, waited over an hour for some food before I requested for a refund. I wouldn't allow my dog to eat the scraps from this place. Very bad business and service. Be truthful people. You cannot support these people. PLEASE CLOSE THIS PLACE.

Done ran out the Mildsauce, it's so good. Visit this place you will not be disappointed. Great people great customer service

Oh man if I can eat here every week I would! you know if a place is always busy and the wait is longer than 30min then you're looking forward to eat some good barbecue food. The owner is super nice and cares about his customers. It is a long wait but it's worth it.

Excellent customer service! I ordered a wing and tip combo. Chicken was perfectly seasoned just needed a little more crispness and the ribs were very good and tender. My husband had the rib and turkey link combo the turkey link was dry but he enjoyed the rib tips and we both ordered a large for the combos. We're use to the Styrofoam plates for large portions our food was packaged in the plastic boxes it didn't feel like a large portion wise. Overall, I recommend to try it out! We didn't get to try any of the sides because they were sold out, but so far so good.

Today was my first visit. I don't eat beef or pork and it is very hard to find a good BBQ Place that makes turkey tips that are good. These turkey tips were great. Nice and tender and the sauce was out of this world. My husband had the rib tips and he enjoyed them also. The smell of the smoker makes you want to go inside and try them out. The service was good and everyone I came in contact with at this smoke pit was kind and friendly. I will definitely be going back and will be recommending All Out Smoke Pit to my friends and famly!!!!

I ordered a large rib tip and beef/pork hot link combo, baked beans and an extra sauce on the side. What I received was turkey tips instead. This was a delivery order so by the time I received it the restaurant had closed. The turkey tips had very little sauce on them and tasted terrible. The baked beans were so sweet I couldn't eat them.

Just tried the turkey tip dinner and it was exactly what I've been craving in my community. Good turkey tips are very tender and flavorful. This will not be the last time I'll eat at your restaurant/establishment Best wishes and Much success to the owners You definitely have my support and will probably be a regular at least once a week. Ps. Also, the service was great and the wait time was not long at all.

Consistency is key! I've been here 3 times so far and every time I've went they've never disappointed. Everything I've ordered so far has been good! The tips are always flavorful and tender, the wings both grilled and fried are delicious, the Mac n cheese and baked beans are so good! And they put the hot link on a bun and ready to eat! The staff is always welcoming and friendly. This is most definitely my go to spot! I'm not the one to leave reviews, but I have to give credit where credit is due

The turkey tips, pulled pork, and fried turkey tips are soo good. I will definitely make this my go to bbq place.

awesome food and service. the links and tips and brisket is a must have! praise God for a great local rib joint!!! Jerome and Karen coleman

This review is written based on 2 visits as I don't want to automatically give a review off just 1 visit but here goes. First visit is as follows. The fried turkey tips were not good unless you took the breading off. The breading was way too salty. The turkey inside was very small around the mini altoid mints. Once the breading came off the miniature piece of meat was tasty and tender so i was thinking maybe if i try the grilled next time it would be good. The fries on my first visit was excellent they were the highlight of my visit. I ordered beans which I never received and the mac and cheese which was good but way too much cheese and very little pasta. Fast forward second visit cause I didn't want to just drop them after the first visit. I ordered the pork hot links which were excellent. The fried wings were inedible the wings would not break as they were undercooked but the breading was very dark. So I think maybe by it being the holiday weekend they were rushing and frying too fast so I'm very disappointed in that. I was looking forward to the fries because they were so good last time. Well to my disappointment unfortunately they were either overcooked or refried. Tasted like the potato chip sticks they were crunchy. If I do give a 3rd chance definitely not sure that i will i will probably just stick with the hot links. I was torn between giving 2 or 3 stars but I just gave 3.
