Best Barbecue Restaurants in Naperville

A Thanksgiving Feast to Remember at Gyu-Kaku! My daughter and I decided to switch things up this Thanksgiving and embark on a foodie adventure, and Gyu-Kaku turned out to be the perfect choice for our dinner. We shared the two-person Meat Lovers meal, and it was an absolute feast! The variety and quality of the meats were incredible. Each cut was tender, flavorful, and fun to grill right at our table. The meal included generous portions of beef short rib, skirt steak, pork belly, and chicken, all beautifully marinated with their signature sauces. The dipping sauces added even more layers of flavor, and we couldn’t decide which was our favorite! The sides complemented the meal perfectly—delicious rice, fresh veggies, and those umami-packed Gyu-Kaku salads were delightful additions. The ambiance was lively yet cozy, making it a fun and interactive dining experience for us both. What truly stood out was the friendly and attentive service. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and took the time to explain the grilling process, which added to the overall experience. For Thanksgiving, this was such a unique and memorable way to celebrate. Gyu-Kaku is perfect for foodies, families, or anyone who enjoys interactive dining and high-quality food. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

WELL!! IF YOU LIKE FANTASTIC FOOD AND DELICIOUS COCKTAILS! This is the place! So fun to watch the food on the grills!

Always a good time. Tried the wings for the first time. Phenomenal

I made a reservation and I was seated on time. I was immediately greeted by the manager and welcomed to the restaurant. Soon, there after our a server came to the table, introduced himself and quickly brought us drinks. Throughout the entire meal of service was second to none. Although the restaurant was busy, it was clear every employee was hustling and doing their very best to take care of every customer. The food was delicious and the experience was well worth visiting this restaurant. Although it appeared, the manager was younger in years. It seemed like his staff respected him, and responded to his desire to bring a great experience to every customer in the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique experience.

This is my favorite Korean bbq place to go to in Chicago. The quality of meat is superb and delicious. The service is so nice, friendly, and courteous. It’s nice that they help us cook the meat since we have to also tend to our crazy toddler. I love that they have small plates and utensils for kids. The only thing I hope they improve is the amount of condiments. They are a little stingy on these. They should refill these right away. Most Korean bbq places do this automatically and without having to ask. Overall, the place is fantastic and their ventilation system is phenomenal. Will go back again.
