The Best Chicago Pop-Ups And New Takeout Restaurants - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The original Mary’s has been in Garfield Park since 1968, and this is their new carryout and delivery-only location operating out of a shared kitchen space in Humboldt Park. The menu is the same as their original location, with things like rib tips, fried catfish, wings, and burgers." - adrian kane

The rib tips were so tender, they were falling off the bone. The chicken and the fish were crispy and well-seasoned. The barbecue sauce was super flavorful. My family loved it. We'll be returning soon.

I'm sorry but the chicken tips s nothing but boiled chicken with sauce. He chicken was so dry 😩 the service is amazing but the quality of food is just not there. This was not authentic grilled chicken in my opinion. Maybe I'll give it a second chance but probably not. Fried chicken wings was the only good thing in my order

Chicken tips, pork tips, honey mango jerk chicken rice bowl were very very good , it was actually my first time trying them, my wife loves the turkey tips and the bbq brisket bowl, I’m having a anniversary party soon so after eating the food i called up and he is gonna cater my event, getting my menu together as we speak, I’ll post pics after the party ,

Fantastic food, and open late night on Friday and Saturday is very cool. Tried the wings, hot links, and tips so far. All have been stellar. The honey mango wings are the bomb. Get some extra sauce just for the fries. Rib tips ate killer as well. Best hot links I have ever had! Owner is cool and super friendly. Highly recommend JD's.

JD’s BBQ is hands down some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor you can tell it’s made with love. The ribs fall right off the bone, the brisket melts in your mouth, and don’t even get me started on the sides everything tastes homemade. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. You feel like family as soon as you walk in. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, the quality and service are consistently top notch. If you love great food, generous portions, and good vibes, JD’s BBQ should definitely be on your list. A true hidden gem!

I ordered on DoorDash on a Friday night. It took longer than expected, but it was so worth the wait. I got the rib tips with chicken wings and order extra piece of catfish. He gave me two catfish fillets because of the wait it was delicious!

This is the best barbecue restaurant in Will county! The honey mango jerk wings were cooked perfectly…sweet & heat, best I’ve ever had! The beef hot links were smoky and delicious…the pork rib tips were excellent…the meats came with a bed of fresh fries that soaked up all the quality sauces, some coleslaw and bread. The owner was super friendly and a pleasure to meet. If you’re looking for BBQ…look no further than JD’s BBQ House!

Absolutely NOT! I have ordered from this place about 3 times a month. Usually on DoorDash. NEVER again after tonight. MOLD on my bread. Right on top as soon as I opened the container. I posted on DoorDash, google, Facebook , you name it. Never AGAIN how do you miss that? If they are too cheap to replace their bread, what else are they doing??

They pretty good. Just was upset they gave me 2 burnt hot links. Burnt and dry. Had me pissed when I got home. They replaced them but they knew they was burnt wasting my time and it was my 1st time there. 1st bad impression

Went since they have a physical locations. We ordered bbq chicken wings and two bbq turkey tip combos, small and large with sauce on the side. Pros: chicken wings were fresh, Turkey tips were tender, and the restaurant had a connecting lounge. Cons: The guy who took the order over the phone sounded lifeless. The food presentation was not there. Costly for the portion sizes. I asked for bbq chicken wings, but I got fried wings. Then chicken wings were heavily sauced with their bbq sauce, which prevented the ability to taste the chicken was seasoning. The turkey combos consisted of boiled turkey tips not bbq. The small combo was a handful of turkey tips and a half of a turkey link. The large combo had a little over a handful of turkey tips and one turkey link cut in half. Again, not bbq turkey tips. Even after putting the sauce on the turkey tips the only thing I could say was at least they're tender. Their homemade sauce is very thick with super ketchup base. Bottom line i think the fried chicken maybe good with no sauce. Well if you're okay with boiled turkey tips then this is the place for you.

6/30/2020 There was a piece of hair in my food about 10 months ago, I reached out to JD we came to a resolution and I changed my review. We've ordered from here several times since without issues but tonight upon opening my food and removing the bread there was another piece of hair found in my food. I again reached out to the owner however this time I wasn't looking for a resolution because I've decided this place is disgusting but I wanted to make him aware that more hair was found in his food. JD stated that he's unsure why he's completed thousands of orders yet I'm the only one who's found hair (twice now). He however was willing to reimburse me for the price of the food. I'm unsure why I'm the only one that has found hair as well but we've ordered from here a total of 6 times and of which there's been hair 2 times, I personally find that percentage to be unlikely that I'm in fact the only person who has located hair from this place. There is absolutely some disgustingness going on at this place. I am beyond furious this time because I understand maybe it happens once but this is the second time. No thank you...stop sharing your DNA with customers!!!! 7/1/2020 I awakened this morning to a message on here from someone who has one review which just happens to be of this restaurant. Pretty much stating that my picture appeared altered and my review has no validity. 1) I have no reason to lie about hair being in my food as I gain nothing. 2) I can pay for whatever it is I want. 3) I am as well a Black business owner and I have no reason to lie on another. Which is why I allowed the resolution the first time but hair twice, I'm sorry we cannot resolve that. This review stands! As per my other reviews I have never posted about hair found in my food before. Furthermore if she don't typically post reviews what made her post this one??? I can tell you why it's because it's one of his friends or family members. There's no way I'm the only one who has had hair in my food twice now from this place. Eat slowly when ordering from here you are nearly guaranteed to locate hair.

When I tell you that Joliet and the surrounding suburbs have a BBQ House that will satisfy your EVERY crave of some good Que IT'S HERE!! JD's BBQ is an awesome addition to Joliet! I almost ordered everything on the menu...the wings well seasoned and the sauce is the BOMB!! The tips were off the chain and VERY TENDER! You can tell when a GrillMaster/Smoker has perfected their craft and Rico certainly has!! Couldn't leave without a large hot link which was tasty and juicy NOT dried out sausage like so many spots overcook them I also bought two bottles of their sauce so I know I'll have my personal stock of it! We'll definitely be back and looking forward to have JD's cater soon...#Blessings

The Barbeque was not good. It tasted like liquid smoke was poured over my pork and turkey tips. The Turkey tips sauce was awful.

Amazing BBQ! I ordered literally everything off the menu for my wife and I. The bbq sauce is homemade and unlike any other... flavorful, spicy, very different! all the meats are very tender, juicy, well made and smoky. I was able to taste the ribs with no sauce and I was falling off the bone tender and seasoned perfectly. We are definitely going back

So delicious. I ordered some rib tips and knew I was gonna be back. Next time I ordered tips, links, wings. My husband said it was the real deal. We found our bbq place.

Phenomenal BBQ. This place is bar none. Clean smoke flavor paired excellently with a homemade BBQ sauce. I can't exactly explain what it taste like, but it feels like bliss, or like some fire kush. JDs BBq is serious about the BBQ game. Ordered the 4lbs bucket of runs tips twice now. To the 1 star reviewer: The owners grace in handling your public outrage reflects the degree of quality JDs BBQ offers. This is classic and unofficial Chicago terminology. Take your right to be offended elsewhere. Even the Chicago Art Institute has a photo from 1988 of a man in Jew Town: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/125585/jew-town-polish . Offended in 2020 who would have guessed, welcome to Chicago and walk faster.

This establishment has OUTSTANDING ribs, chicken, and hot links. When you're a lifetime Chicagoan, you become accustom to high quality, flavorful food. I was ecstatic to find "Chicago-style" bbq in Joliet. Also, it was refreshing to meet the pleasant owner. One can tell he has a passion for grilling and is truly grateful for his patrons. Thank you for bringing great bbq to Joliet.

Best Barbecue tips I have had in a long time. The sauce has a good texture and flavor delightful rather it be spicy or mild. I'm definitely a fan of JDs BBQ
