Uncle Booker's Bar-B-Kew — Restaurant in Bolingbrook

At The end of a long 15 hour day of towing I’m coming back from dropping off a trailer off the back of my rollback that had a snapped axle I’m starving and I’m cranky. I can smell the barbecue from across the street. My eyes meet what my nose is smelling and I pull in immediately . upon walking up to this man’s barbecue joint. I get the warmest hello and I see the biggest smile, the prices are reasonable & they give you humongous portions. The owner is an absolute genuine guy and he’s running the place with his son. The container of rib tips that I got for $20 felt like it weighed a pretty good amount. Maybe I’m just tired from a long day, but I think I think that envelope was stuffed a little bit. I really like his sauce I asked for it to be spicy and I don’t know if it’s a custom thing they did or if they have a spicy sauce, but it was phenomenal, they give you a good amount of fries and a piece of bread, which is normal for barbecue and for $23 , a 285 pound blue collar working man is stuffed. 100 out of 10 definitely will be back, one of the best places in the area if...

I came here because I been thinking about this place for months! I pulled up and placed an order. He charged me for 2 sides when 1 was suppose to already come with my rib tips. I wait 5 min for my food just for him to tell me “the food might be a lil cold. I just started cooking”😐 my food was COLD. Not warm. COLD. I had to go home and heat my food up. Back experience overall and I won’t be back. What if I was a worker just tryna grab lunch. How was I going to heat my food...

I really wanted to like this place. I was soo excited and probably ordered way too much. The Rib tips were super hard and tough. Potato salad is store bought. Yuck! They forgot my side of baked beans and I didn’t receive any cornbread after I asked for two as a side, I was told it was included. Everything was listed in the receipt even the cornbread was handwritten on it. It was 1pm and the trick opens at noon so I was really disappointed at my entire meal...
