Firewater BBQ & Brew- Crest Hill

"Ordered via DoorDash. Food arrived in decent time, but with no napkins or utensils. Think about that - barbecue with no napkins or utensils. I got the three meat dinner: ribs, brisket and burnt ends. All were okay, not great. They relied on lots of sauce to cover dryness and mediocre flavor of the meat. The cornbread was excellent, but I don’t order barbecue just for the cornbread. For the money, not sure I’d buy here again."

"Smoked Pastrami Sandwich, Cheddar/Jalapeño link, Garlic Fries, and a Budweiser. Overall, it's a pretty cool place, I wish the lighting was better/brighter for a good pic. The staff was very nice, Kristen took my order and the manager was also very good. I will definitely return"

"I got the 3 meat and a jalapeno cheddar taster! My God was It tasty and the portions were Texas sized, being I'm a Texas Native! I give this place a 10 out of 10!"

"TOO TOUGH AND DRY! I sent my food back because it was tough. Came back burnt after that. The flavor is there. Everything else was terrible dry. Needed xtra bbq just to get down the ribs that I had to yank apart. I had to cut them to get even a tiny piece to eat. I eventually gave up. My boyfriend got pulled pork said it was good but dry. His rib tips was all fat. The flavor is amazing but the actually cooking of the food should be longer slower because it’s all so hard to eat it so tough and so dry. The Mac and cheese was just noodles with sauce and shredded cheese was gross. I will not be back"

"I saw this place neer my location, and I was in. Good southern BBQ is always on the menu! After eating here, I had mixed emotions. Start with the food, typical BBQ establishment, walk in order your food, and they call you name when it is ready. The staff was friendly and the place was well kept. I ordered the 3 meat combo, and when my name was called, it looked absolutely delicious. Sat down, and now the bad, pulled pork was extremely dry and needed to drowned it in BBQ sauce to eat it, the brisket I was happy to see my plate had the point on it no flat so I knew it would be tender however this brisker was way over cooked so tender it had the consistency of mashed potatoes... the ribs on the other had a real treat! It's cooked perfectly and has great taste. Corn bread was moist and extremely enjoyable. Overall, depending on what you order will dictate your experience here. Personally, there are other BBQ places that have great BBQ, so for me, this was an experience. However, I would probably pass on this place going forward."
