Baby Back Blues in Plainfield

Amazing place for real. Seriously one of the best places for any meat dish. They make their custom sauces as well!Oh and the Smell, OH MY GOD that smell when you first open the door.It's so very Aromatic!

I am a HUGE BBQ fan and connoisseur. I can confirm that if you are also a BBQ lover, then you will find this place to exceed all expectations. I almost cried when I walked in. Half from the smell, and half from the sight of the WALL OF GIANT SMOKERS. I always go eat BBQ at other places and stand there at the counter wishing I could see the smoker, or someday meet the person who is the pit master and chef. Well, this place folks, is freaking Disneyland for a person like myself. Go there. Die happy.

I understand the face mask makes things hard to understand but I asked for two orders with the same sides and then was asked if I wanted any sides. I got home and one of my orders isn't in my bag. I tired to call to get this taken care of but all I get is a busy signal. Now I get to watch my parents eat and I have no dinner. Very disappointed in the meat on the orders I did receive as well.UPDATE: Was able to speak with a manager this morning who was not empathic at all that his staff under performed and I was left without food. He did not wish me a good day and apologize for his employees mistakes. I will be getting my refund and never recommend this location again.

I meet friends in this nice place quite often! This is my favorite restaurant to eat. I visit this spot at least once a month. The food is great, the staff members are helpful and the cost is decent. I like being in this restaurant over a rich supper.

We were trying to try this place last night..Online orders kept timing out...So I tryed calling for a pick up order at dinner time 530... No Answer..Ok so we thought they were busy, so i wated till 6 and tryed again 3 more times no one ever answered the phone. Figured they were busy. Drove by it was empty open but empty. So I checked reviews apparently they don't answer the phone..looks like they mess things up and dont care about customers.. Very strange..

YUMMY! this place might be small but is it mighty! The beef brisket is soooo tender and flavorful by its self. My husband had the pulled pork and enjoyed it. The fries are crispy and so good with out any sauce. The mac n cheese is super cheesy and steaming hot. The mild bbq sauce is soooooo good! I kinda just wanted to drink it! And the pickles! I took a cup home!

This is some of the best bbq this side of I-80 . Great price for some great food. Wish they had a bigger dining area.

Fun place with very good food. The in-house hot and Carolina sauces are excellent.

Soooo good! Everything I've had here has been awesome! Pulled pork is my usual but the ribs are great too!

I regularly come by purchasing some food in this place. I like the quick customer service and well prepared dishes. Keep up the good work.

Ordered through Grubhub, rib tip, pulled chicken, green beans, coleslaw, and mac an cheese. You can see in the picture that our pulled chicken came as 1.25 boiled flavorless chicken breasts. The Mac n cheese was runny and the coleslaw was mostly liquid. When I tried to call their number to tell them about the chicken, I couldn’t get through like the number was disconnected. How can you own a business that you can’t get a hold of. No idea how they would have handled the situation because there was no one to talk to. The green beans were good, everything else was either bad or ok. No point going back when we have a much better place down the street.

I have been here a few times and the food is fantastic. I usually get the beef brisket. It’s is lean and cooked to perfection. Nice char on the outside and easily pulls apart. Their sides are very good. Hand smashed potatoes and homemade gravy, green beans, Mac & cheese. My family likes the pulled pork and hot links. All the food is fresh. Their bbq sauce is what really tasted good. A great combination of flavors. It comes in hot and mild and is really good. They have fresh bread, onions, pickles etc. The space is smaller for dine-in, but they do have several tables. It can get hot in the summer with grills and ovens. We usually take it to go. The food transports well and is just as fresh when you get home. Plenty of parking as easy in and out from the parking lot. I definitely recommend you give it a try!!

Been coming here for 15 years and the food is always great!

Food has no seasoning at all and the rib tips taste like it was boiled, how is this place still in business

You can start enjoying this place as you walk in from the smells of the smoker at work. The meals are always worth the stop for dining in or take out. I have also had their catering which people at parties loved. Generous servings with delicious sides to go with.

What an excellent place to eat! Food is great and the prices are very fair. I have easily paid double elsewhere for the same amount of food. Sauces were great. Just give it a try

Still best sauce around. However going downhill in other areas. Used to be our favorite brisket. Not anymore.

Been coming here for over a decade. Still my standard for barbeque and has yet to be matched. Get a 1/2 lb. Pulled pork smokin deal and two sides of fries. You won't be disappointed.

One of my go-to spots to grab some food. great location, well kept, and excellent customer service. A must try!

Delicious food, so many amazing meats. Friendly, fast service. And great portions and reasonable prices. I just wish the sweet tea was sweeter and there were a couple more sauce options.

Amazing food. Very friendly staff. When our family has a birthday, they get to choose their favorite place for dinner and this place has come up as the chosen winner for several family members now. Stopped in last night for another simple but great meal. Highly recommended. Cheap and easy BBQ with nothing fancy. Just good food.

Family favorite, and we've been eating here for years. The delicious smoked aroma permeates the strip mall that this quiet unassuming place is nestled away in, and my god if that comforting scent doesn't sell itself your sense of smell has waned, or, you simply haven't experienced good BBQ. In that case stop in and try the best Chicagoland barbecue you will find south of I80. Please don't go anywhere Baby Back Blues, you bring much needed and refreshing change to the endless recycling of "American" and "Mexican" cuisine that while good, has inundated our taste buds, and grown boring...

Awesome Brisket the hot bbq sauce is really good! Also had Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes both were great! It's nice to see a place use actual potatoes for their mashed. The staff was also very friendly!

Great food and great service. The hot barbecue sauce really is hot!! The rib tips are wonderful, and so is the pulled pork. Be sure to get a large plate of fries for the table! 10/10 would eat here again and recommend.

The food is excellent, no matter what you order. Anytime I'm in the area I make point to stop in. $10 + tax gets you a small sandwich, drink and side You can't beat the home cooked flavor anywhere...They recently remodeled thee interior and it has a great blues vibe and the sound of classic blues music adds the right touch. Also can't beat the delicious smell of BBQ when you walk into the place.

One of the best bbq we had give Kansas City a run for their money

Good alternative when I'm too lazy to drive to one of the better BBQ places. Meat is delicious and great but the sides are lacking. Huge servings but I'd rather have quality than quantity. Mac and cheese tasted instant and the coleslaw was just too watery. Ignore the mild BBQ sauce and go straight for the HOT BBQ sauce.

Missing multiple pieces from pick up order when I arrived home. The sandwiches and rib dinner I did receive were average at best to poor quality. Tried to contact via email and phone, phone is off the hook and have yet to receive a response from email attempts. Will avoid from now on.

Food is good, but not as good as it use too be. The pulled pork was cold, but the mac and cheese was perfect.

One of my preferred spots to grab some food. fantastic location, neat, and great service. I highly recommend them!

The food was good and not spectacular but good ribs are always better than no ribs so I would have to say I would suggest baby back blue. The meat by the pound is the way to go.

They don't put barbecue sauce on the meat which I like because I don't put barbecue sauce on all my food. 😀

Pretty decent place. In my opinion the ribs are the best thing here - probably 4 star ribs - but overall 3 star bbq. Nothing special about the sides - fries are probably the best. The mac was like instant mac n cheese or something - was fine but a BBQ joint should have something legit. At the time I went the brisket was a bit dry and tough but had good flavor due to the bark and rendered fat. Overall I'd go back, but only for the ribs or pulled pork sandwich.

Food was delicious and alot of food for the price

They were closing so the order had to be made to go. No problem. The food was awesome. But forgot a side & small order of tips. Too far to go back & complain & my fault for not double checking the order. But food was still good

Had a great experience here with my wife. The food arrives fast and the customer service is just excellent. Prices are reasonable.

One of my favorite places to grab some food. good location, neat, and good service. I recommend this place!

Very very good BBQ, we had the brisket and chicken. Both were very moist and tasty. BBQ sauce was just the right amount of spicy

Order the dirty beef brisket sandwichFYI dirty means they leave the fat with the burned bark on it yummbest macaroni and cheese ever had best mashed potatoes and gravy homemade and best green beans

Very unassuming storefront in a strip mall with amazing bbq. There's a small dining area to eat in, or you can take it to go. The food is fresh and the service is genuine. Idk if the ppl working there are owners, but every time I've gone there, the service is great and they're very proud of what they're making/serving. The mac n cheese is good and not mushy, the mashed potatoes are awesome. Not a fan of gravy in general, so I didn't try that. It's a light gravy, not a dark brown. The place reminds me of a Nashville bbq. No frills but tasty food!

Greeeeeat taste and fair pricing

Best BBQ in Will County. Everything is fantastic here. I think my only complaint could be....on occasion, the brisket is extremely fatty and I feel like you get 1/3 fat to 2/3 meat. Regardless, definitely recommended.

I meet with friends this lovely spot quite often! This is my favorite spot to dine. I visit this place frequently. The meals are fantastic, the workers are professional and the prices are decent. I enjoy meeting in this place to have a tasty lunch.

I really enjoyed it but I agree with another reviewer that the brisket was slightly on the dry side and the Mac and cheese is very basic bordering on Kraft. The sauce was thin in it. I think part of the reason the brisket is on the dry side is the way they cut it. I saw the person cutting it using just a plain chefs knife, STRAIGHT down on it 😮. You could see the juice just squeezed out of it like you stepped on an orange. I feel so bad for the brisket. There needs to be a nice long slicing knife like places use to slice roasts. I think that would help a ton with that. The brisket bark was GREAT. Could have been a five star of it want for that man torturing the brisket. However you could get into the market if brisket juice...

Damn good smokehouse. Their flavor is very simple but that is good. It allows the Smokey flavor and the natural meat flavors to come through. Highly recommend this place.

The food is consistently well prepared and yummy, staff members gives good service. I loved how neat it is and ambience. Worth a try.

Great food awesome sides, fantastic sauce. This place is great, never been disappointed here. Highly recommended

Good food. Fries are great!

Used to be so much better. Meat needs tok much sauce.

Delicious. A little crispy on the edges, but I like that. A sauce variety could help, but what I got was good.
