I did take out. Most food was already prepared so it’s just streamlining down and checkout was really fast
🍖 burnt end platter: the burnt ends was different from what I imagined. The burnt end is covered in thick layer of sweet sauce which hides away the original flavor of smoked meat. The burnt ends were also not as fatty as I imagined, it was kind of disappointing

Decent place. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans; nothing exceptional, but the food was okay. I expected the portions to be a bit bigger. Counter service, yet the workers still came off a bit rude. Prices are too expensive to justify coming here all things considered.

Ordered delivery for a work meeting and a mix up occurred between my order and the delivery service. Would like to shout out Carrie who provided great service and was incredibly helpful throughout the process! Food was amazing too!

Dont let the small serving space fool you....this place ROCKS! the smell is inviting from the moment you open the door. The problem is in choosing what to eat. Devell hooked me up with samples, and my taste buds went crazy. I dont think you can make a wrong choice, but we settled on the brisket and burnt ends. OUTSTANDING! My wife raved about the mac and cheese as well as the pickles. The price can't be beat either. Make this a MUST stop to eat!

Got the Brisket Burnt Ends platter and it really does come with a lot of meat. I thought it was pretty good, including the pickles & coleslaw. I also got a side of the 3 Cheese Mac, but it lacked a bit of flavor. Staff was nice and made my order quickly. Will come back.

Canadian speaking here: "the portion sizes are huge!" But thankfully they are; the BBQ is on point. Amongst the best pulled pork sandwiches I've had.
If you're after a salad - this is still a good place for you. Excellent taste and fresh!
Very clean and the employees are always happy to help!

Very legit bbq brisket smoked for 15 hours. Sauces are on point and their sides are legitimately very good. Compares favorably to kansas and austin. Watch out for long lines during peak lunch hours. Go early or late.

Great food... The brisket and mac and cheese were outstanding. The cole slaw not so much... The service was OK, but too slow.
Jose Fonseca
Friendly staff and delicious food. A place to grab a budget friendly and appetite tantalizing BBQ meal. Would recommend to all.
Markus Stricker
Very friendly service. Got a taster to help decide what to go for. Ended up with a mixed meat platter. Delicious slow cooked smoked meets! Highly recommend a visit!

Pretty good bbq joint. Not that much space to eat inside though. Cole slaw was pretty good and the fat brisket too. I recommend this only for a quick lunch or grab and go eat somewhere else. Not a seat down type of place.

After an exhaustive search for the closest thing I could find to Texas BBQ, Blackwood now has my heart. The rich smokiness and flavor profile is why I keep coming back. Not only is the brisket tender and "Slap Ya Mama" delicious, the pull pork and chicken are also absolutely fantastic! In my recommendation the 1/2 platter of Burnt Edges (And Half sliced moist brisket) is the true winner. Today was the first time I tried the cold Elote Salad, and Mmmm Mmm Mmm! Such a great idea on a chicago street favorite. Additionally, if your are a sauce fan they have a large selection of fancy sauces from sweet and tangy to spicy and sweet (my favorite is the Kansas). Lastly, make sure to grab a drink. The in house made Sweet tea and Lemonade make for the most perfect Arnold Palmer to compliment the amazing BBQ experience.

Great BBQ, fast service. Assembly line style. Hit it right before lunch break for businesses. Line out the door after I got in. Had the pulled pork and brisket.. . Both worth the wait.

Pretty decent food but a bit on the expensive side. Although, the staff are great.

Been here twice for lunch. Chicken sandwich is delicious

5 dollars for a big BBQ brisket wrap, not bad at all. Flavor wise, a little underwhelming, the sour taste is overpowering.

I've been here for lunch and I've been here for a snack. This place has such amazing food, it keeps me wanting to come back for more. I like that they have a variety of meats and sauces. It really makes it easy to order something different each time, but you really can't go wrong. The Memphis sauce is my favorite! The salads are a delight, the sandwiches are delicious, and with the plate you have everything at the same time.The homemade lemonade and cornbread muffin with a dash of Memphis sauce has become my new favorite afternoon snack. The mac and cheese is the perfect portion and is rich and delicious. The cole slaw is also nice because it isn't to runny or too vinegary. I can be skeptical of cole slaw from many places, but it is the perfect topper to a pulled pork sandwich.I really can't say enough great things about this place. If you haven't tried it yet, WHY NOT?! Make it a "treat yo self" day. I promise you won't be sorry.

Good quick BBQ, if the lines not to bad. I luckily got in before the line got long but it moves pretty fast especially for BBQ. The brisket was juicy and delicious and went well with the Chicago sauce. <br/><br/>My one negative, avoid the lemonade as it was far from "homemade."

Very customer friendly. Ordered lunch for the office from Blackwood today. Jon was awesome and over delivered. Tons of complements on the food and so easy work with.<br/><br/>thanks for a fun and different work lunch option.

For the last few months, I have walked by Blackwood every morning on my way to work and the smell of their smoker has had my dying to stop in. This place serves up pretty legit barbecue in a fast casual environment-- the perfect way to satisfy a barbecue craving during your lunch hour. The food here is assembled in a line as you like it (a la Chipotle) and there are a ton of delicious options. You first select your meat: pulled pork or chicken or beef brisket and then how you'd like to eat it-- as a sandwich, platter, or salad. Then you get to choose from a variety of regio

By location alone, I will be back to try the pulled pork, which they had sold out of on the day of my visit. I HIGHLY recommend the sliced brisket with the Chicago Style sauce and a side of mac 'n cheese. The restaurant is speedy, delicious, and offers BBQ that is way more than what you'd expect in a quick-service format. It's a great alternative to your typical Loop lunch, but be prepared for the food coma to hit once you've wiped that Chicago Style sauce from your face.
