Real Urban Barbecue 1260 South Milwaukee Avenue, Vernon Hills, IL 60061

"Went here with my husband in hopes of good bbq. I don’t normally leave low reviews, but they need to improve. The good: staff behind the counter were very helpful. The Texas sausage was good, basic andouille. The chicken was moist and nice. The bad: all of the sides, and we tried a few, were terrible. Mac and cheese: no actual flavor, is this made with real cheese? Pasta was overly cooked. Skip this. Fries: the crazy part is they made them on order, but they were still soggy, so oily, and totally unseasoned. Skip these. Brussel sprouts: soggy, attempting to be of an Asian seasoning profile but completely missed the mark. Skip these. The beans: seriously, you are a BBQ place, get some profile and personality in your food. Skip these. The ribs: one word: Dry - even with sauce The pulled pork: one word: Dry - even with sauce. We were so disappointed in our visit here and definitely will not be back. Texas would be pissed that you are claiming to be their BBQ."

"Great BBQ. I’ve been here a dozen times and it’s been delicious every time. Ribs, rib tips, pulled pork, sausage, burnt ends. All very good every time. I always recommend them. #bringBackTheWhiteSauce"

"Great spot to pick up or eat in! The portions are healthy sizes, the flavor is outstanding, I had the sausage, pulled pork, and brisket. All three were amazing. Inside is clean and open. You seat yourself after you order. Don't miss this spot, I will be back!"

"I ordered Brisket, Sausage, Rib Tips with Cole Slaw and Mac and Cheese. 1. Started off good with crunchy and sweet Coleslaw but mediocre mac and cheese. 2. Meats were very disappointing but they give you a large amount for a very fair price. The brisket was very the worst. It was dry and very tough. I was able to expect the quality of the meat by looking at it. Sausage was fine good snap and flavor, rib tips were fine as well juicy but lacked the smokey taste. 3. BBQ Sauce was too tart and distracts the meat flavor and the consistency was too thick. I wouldn’t go here for quality but for Value this place is it."

"Brisket nachos are great. Ribs are excellent nice and tender, brisket is amazing just melts in your mouth, burnt ends are a must try everything was cooked perfectly. Sweet potatoes were creamy and the marshmallow topping was great. The corn bread muffins are very good. Great bbq all around. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get."
