This place is an absolute gem, bringing Southern charm, bold flavors, and top-tier hospitality to the heart of the Midwest. First and foremost, the BBQ is hands-down the best in Chicagoland. Whether you're diving into their perfectly smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, or tender pulled pork, every bite is packed with rich, smoky goodness. The portion sizes? Incredible for the price—you'll leave satisfied and then some. And let's talk about the oysters. Fresh, briny, and expertly shucked, they bring a true taste of the coast. Whether you like them raw, grilled, or topped with creative garnishes, Briny Swine delivers a seafood experience that pairs perfectly with their hearty BBQ offerings. The service here is top-notch. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and always ready with great recommendations. Add in a solid selection of beers and an electric live entertainment lineup on Saturdays, and you’ve got the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy some Southern hospitality.

- RRamirChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was the second time I was at Gyu Kaku, and both times the parties I came with amhad delays in the reservation between 25-30 minutes. It'd be nice if that were compensated in some ways like other restaurants that can't mert their reservations within 10-15 minutes. All else was good 🙂More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Chicago, IL | LakeviewPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Lakeview / East Lakeview•4.7
