Bub City

I had never heard of this restaurant before I received two gift cards from a friend. What an awesome place this is. I had the brisket sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. My friend had chicken and ribs, and my other friend had the salmon. I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant for good food and good service. Try the fried pickles too!

BEST RIBS EVER! We‘re looking for a nice restaurant which offers Ribs in Chicago. Thanks to Google we found Bub City. The ribs and chicken wings were the best we ever had. The meat has fallen from the bone and tasted delicious. The service was very friendly and helpful and we‘ll come back.

Stopped by Bub City tonight, after walking around to find a place to dine. Our waiter, Julio V, was fantastic!! He gave us great suggestions & was very patient as we took our time deciding. I ordered the No Shoes, No Shirt & it was delicious! It tasted like passionfruit juice but I didn't taste the alcohol, nor did I feel it. If you're looking for a great tasting sweet drink with hardly any alcohol, this is your drink! We ordered the fried pickles, I'd give them a 2 out of 5 only bcuz the ranch dipping dressing was good. My friend ordered the ribs & they were not tender nor did they fall off the bones, maybe that's not a thing in Chicago shrug. She also ordered the cornbread & it was very good!!! I ordered the Cali burger & it a good. The tater tots were okay, they tasted better dipped in the ranch dressing. Overall, it was a decent visit.

Amazing food and staff. Bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the whiskeys and bourbons I knew nothing about. We got the Berkshire pulled pork and the brisket burnt ends grilled cheese and loved every single bite.

It is a another great restaurant under LEY, we have been coming here since it opened, mostly for brunch and occasional dinner. I am updating this review since the menu has changed some after COVID. The BBQ is always good, not the best we have tried but it surpasses Chicago Q since that place ran down hills. I liked the old days when they put all of the sauces on the table, the special BLT sandwich for brunch, the bread pudding... but that is no longer the case. The main BBQ items are still the same on the menu, my favorite nachos, burgers, chicken and waffles etc. I definitely recommend the nachos to share, and the burnt ends to start. As for brunch, biscuits and gravy. The fried chicken items and grits are just ok for me, nothing special, I would go elsewhere for that. The alcohol selection is large and stays true to the southern theme, live music and sports on TVs, pretty standard bar setup.

Great place, delicious food and drinks, and the best server we've ever had. This is both mine and my wife's favorite place ever. We shared brisket, ribs, salmon... all kinds of stuff. All I can say was we loved this place and are planning on returning with our best friends asap.

This was our first time here and we really enjoyed this! It is pricey but this is river north but also they have HUGE portions so perhaps it makes up for it. The pork and chili on the nachos were delicious 10/10 recommend! The tacos were good, but the pork was a little bit dry. The mac and cheese was also good, hard to mess up. We brought most of this home because it was so filling. I’d recommend this place to a friend!

While Bub city is a go too in the city. There are better places popping up. The Nashville chicken was good, however, the drink could have been better. The waffle fries were crisp. My daughter had ribs which she loved. The fried pickles were a hit.

Good food! Their smoked meats were delicious and the drinks were a good price. Their fried goods fries, fried pickles, tater tots, etc. were a little plain, the type of things you could get anywhere. Overall we had a pleasant time here.

What an amazing place! We had the ribs, brisket which just melted in the mouth and the burger was amazing, fried pickle and atomic fries absolutely stunning food! Staff were friendly and service was decent.
