Elgin Bbq Pit - South Elgin

Tasty bbq. burning end, brisket and pulled boars all well. piece maisbrot would have been nice instead of ala carte.

We went to Elgin BBQ Pit after watching the show “Chicago Best” and reading reviews from Yelp. We purposely went on Sunday to have their Sunday special “beef short ribs”, but unfortunately this Sunday was not our day. They didn’t have it only on this Sunday (hence my 4stars). So, we ordered beef rib tips dinner menu, it came with two sides. I should say the bbq was really good, well seasoned, tender and very moist. The portion was quite big for $12.99 (including tax). They gave you extra sauce (sweet, mild and spicy) to go with the meat. The restaurant itself is not that big, I don’t think it can fit big party. But, I overheard the owners kept picking up the phones since people were calling and ordering food for to go. Overall: I highly recommend this local bbq restaurant.

Not a fan of this place...staff was the best thing from here. My rib tips looked burnt, hush puppies were dry and not fluffy. But the bbq chicken was good. I guess when you have Famous Dave's this place does not replace it. They have of many sides to choose from . We ordered mac and cheese but my son tasted it and don't eat it. I didn't try the pulled pork maybe that would be good but I'm not going back there for the bbq.

The brisket was extremely dry, the mac and cheese had no flavor and the only saving graces were the pulled pork, rib tips and sauce. Otherwise it was just overall bad and not fresh and disappointing.

Staff and location are nice. Food was not so good. Most of us who ate it got very sick. Most the food was pretty dry and lacked flavor. Had to cover everything in BBQ sauce just to get it down.
