If a Chipotle franchise knocked boots with a Southern BBQ joint, things would probably get really messy, but the resulting offspring might well look something like Blackwood BBQ. Read more
The first barbeque spot in the Loop, Blackwood is not the best ‘cue in the city , but it’s good and it’s a welcome change from the usual lineup of fast food and salad/wrap restaurants . Read more
Don't be discouraged by the simple menu. The brisket sandwich with Chicago sauce is amazing. All of the sides are very good, but keep in mind that your eyes could be bigger than your stomach.
Lunch is good here with the choice of beef brisket or pulled pork , but the winner here is the breakfast hash which includes eggs , potatoes , choice of meat and sauce. At $3.99 it's a bargain.
Order the platter, you get more meat and you're going to order at least one side anyway. I recommend the brisket and you can't go wrong with any of the sauces. Heads up, the lemonade isn't very sweet.
This fast-casual barbecue joint — open during breakfast and lunch only Monday through Friday — specializes in a bright , yellow sauce, honey mustard-like in color and flavor. Read more
Great fast good BBQ option downtown. Pulled pork was excellent, I recommend both Carolina sauces together. Chicago style sauce had too much cumin in it. Slaw was good too. Cornbread tasty.
File this under good things: the a.m. sandwich from straightforward pit Blackwood Barbecue features meat rubbed with seasonings from The Spice House. Read more
Brisket BBQ plate or salad , mix a couple of sauces and be happy. Fast service if everyone knows what they want by the time they get to the counter. Remember that.
Get the angus beef brisket smothered in PBR-infused BBQ sauce , and Panko-and-cheddar-crusted mac & cheese . Choose from any of five different BBQ sauce styles. Read more
Awesome BBQ as you have options of the following flavors: Kansas City BBQ , Memphis BBQ , North & South Carolina BBQ and Chicago BBQ in the form of pulled pork or brisket
Of note is the barbecued beef brisket , smoked 14 hours with hickory and apple wood. One of its nice touches is the ground coffee in the dry rub . Read more
The meats are slowly smoked for hours in house and the menu keeps things simple by offering just pulled pork , pulled chicken , and brisket .
The brisket is sooooo good. The Mac and cheese is pretty top notch too!
Brisket is good but you get way more in the pulled pork meal. Chicago style is the best sauce. Cornbread and Mac-n-cheese are awesome.
Get your meal with the white Atlanta style BBQ sauce for a great spin on classic brisket or pulled pork .
The Kansas City sauce is the best tasting by far, but a little too thin. Mix it with a tad of the Memphis sauce for extra thickness and you've got a winner!
My preferred sauce: the Chicago style , a tomato-and-vinegar-based dip splashed with Pabst Blue Ribbon (though more accurately, Milwaukee style?). Read more
Beef brisket with Mac n cheese and a cornbread muffin . Pulled chicken over salad with the North Carolina sauce . Mmm mmm
You cab smell the place a block away. Pulled pork with NC sauce and Mac & cheese makes a pretty good work day lunch .
This is the Chipotle process for BBQ . Line can be long, but moves quickly.
Line is almost always out the door during lunchtime, but it moves quickly and is 1000% worth it.
The brisket is fantastic and the baked beans and mac and cheese sides are great.
Loved the brisket w mac n cheese . Got the memphis sauce but would love to try the rest soon :-)!
The pulled pork at Blackwood BBQ is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk
Decent sauces, nice coleslaw . But what's better is that they play solid songs. By solid, I mean Jimi Hendrix's, Led Zeppelin's and Rolling stones'.
Wow! This place is just what the loop needed. The lines may look long but jr moves fast because it's BBQ
The pulled pork is very good and the North Carolina sauce is a zesty addition.
The brisket here is phenomenal… the sauces are amazing!
You will definitely want to buy an additional side with your meal. Recommend the cornbread .
Everything is awesome. You can buy big bottle of their souse
Brisket is delicious
Pulled pork sandwich with the Chicago bbq sauce . You can't go wrong.
The pulled pork . Just order the pulled pork . Generous portion and perfect.
Brisket was really good. Just the right a amount of smokey, fatty, juicy.
Tough to find a seat but the pulled pork plate with Carolina sauce is first rate
Order pickup on GrubHub to skip the line of 50 dudes in button downs
Breakfast wrap and corn bread were great.
Beef Brisket platter with corn bread was off the chains.
Corn bread is dense, dry, and not sweet. Slaw is not worth it. Mac n cheese is OK. Beware of bone bits in pulled chicken . Brisket is tender and good with Memphis sauce . Pulled pork is very dry.
Pulled pork with Carolina sauce is great.
Great food, friendly staff .
The brisket sandwich was great.
