Joe's Barbeque & Fish — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

When youre not standing in the airless line surrounded by loiterers waiting for your meager meal, youre probably ordering or have become one with the loiterers who like you, are waiting for their food.

I for one ordered a Pork Rib meal with fries and chicken- (a basic staple of smoke houses or BBQ joints), 15 mins into waiting for the order and the loiterers either clearing out or becoming one with the walls, I ask where is the order, they had totally forgotten about the order and then finally realize they had no "fresh" pork ribs.

they argue back and forth about keeping up with stock and ultimately pulling the ribs out of god knows where because we all know it isn't going to be fresh.. and threw it into the microwave.. I get the food walk back to the car to inspect the dish.

LO AND BEHOLD a (Pink) sauce pooled mess of pork ribs with over hot bones and still cold meat on a bed of (Pink) sauce pooled fries that tasted old and spongy with two pieces of (Pink) fried chicken that seem like they had no real meat on the bone.

the meat itself tasted initially boiled, then frozen, then microwaved (must be the secret recipe steps)

the (Pink) Mild sauce tasted like it was some leftover (Pink) cranberry Jam mixed with BBQ sauce and neither hit or missed. the (Pink) sauce simply carried no flavor it'll be easier to describe the flavor of water at this point

If youre looking for a Professional and Prideful business that respects its paying costomers and its place being food industry I highly recommend a 7/11 or gas station with a food stand inside of it with a guy who has a bad cough. Atleast they'll hold their food to a higher quality than this place.

PS enjoy and be greeted by the bad smell of the trash can LITTERALLY right in front of their entrance. NO not near the entrance literally 2 feet away to a point its almost...

They’re chicken is flavorful and the sauce is good. The last two times I’ve went in for lunch my chicken wings were old so I stop going. Today I really wanted some so I decided to ask if I could have my chicken fried fresh. Considering the price inflation in wings you’d think such a request wouldn’t be unreasonable. Apparently the lady was offended because she called out and said “I’m frying them fresh” I saw her drop wings and should’ve paid way more attention to them being prepared. When returning back to work less than 5 minutes away my chicken was in fact NOT fresh and the woman gave me the old pieces instead. The chicken was soggy and apparently old!!! I will not be returning there again. I will inform my organization as well, along with all family and friends. For this to be a long standing black owned business, they’re quality of food and integrity most importantly is non existent!!!!shame on you all for treating your own people this way. You want support from your community well support your community/customers with a better attitude!!! No one has to spend their hard own money in a place that doesn’t appreciate it or better yet obviously feels entitled!!! What ever happen to feeling blessed for even being employed at this point in time! Within our black culture we want equality and fair treatment from others but don’t even treat our own people with kindness and respect! I’ll stick with Uncle Remus, Harold’s, and...
