Southbank Original Barbecue - Yorkville

The food is good, but there aren't enough servers. There was a band performing by the river, which added a nice touch to the atmosphere.

Fantastic service, and the BBQ was absolutely delicious! The outdoor patio is dog-friendly and located by the river, making it a very relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely return!

Always delicious barbeque! This place frigging rocks!

Great atmosphere to be at for the music and the location on the river is great. Service at the bar is horrendous. They need more help back there. To wait 20 minutes for a drink is ridiculous. Food has gotten better! So much potential to be a great restaurant/bar.
