I 94 Rib and Grill: Reviews & Ratings
This is what you call "Hood Ribs" because if you are looking for Carson type ribs you would be going to the wrong place. Now, if you sometimes just want the grease and sauce slathered over some meaty rib tips then you would love this place. Now, I didn't give it 5 stars because although I enjoyed my rib tips some were hard and uneatable. It was 14.75 for the large tips but they gave you enough to feed at least 3 people depending on how much you eat. This is a cash only or cash app establishment so make sure you don't bring the plastic because there isn't a close ATM machine around. Due to the pandemic at least when I went you could not eat in the restaurant. I also got the chicken wings and they were fresh and tasty. I didn't add sauce to them because I didn't want them to come home soggy so I just dipped them in my sauce with the tips. I can't wait to go back and get some "Hood Ribs" they will definitely be my go to guilty pleasure once a month. As always... Enjoy and be Safe!!!
I was volunteering at the Windy City Ribfest over the holiday weekend and I94 had their trailer inconspicuously parked next to Bill's ribs and the beer stand. During my first shift, on July 4th, I had some of their delicious, meaty, tender ribs and sauce. I tend to prefer a mustard based sauce because I have a sugar tolerance issue. This was NOT a mustard sauce and IT WAS INCREDIBLE. I didn't have a reaction to it so whatever they did - yes. Do that some more! The ribs were cooked to absolute perfection -- not too much fat and PLENTY of meat. I was SO looking forward to seeing them again during my second shift on the 6th but they were gone! NO WAY they should have lost to Austin. No way. I'm going to have to find a way to get my no-car-owning butt down there for more!
Had rib tips at the Uptown rib fest and hands down they were the best food I had the entire day.
I was going to a different establishment on 7/13 and it was closed. I called my brother to ask where another Bar B Q place was and he suggested this one. I had been attempting to try them before. I was not disappointed with the Tip/Link combo. I will definately go back. No waiting 1/2 hour for your food. Fast service.
I must say I'm a griller myself idk about the other reviews but their bbq rib tips are definitely good some can be a lil tough not many but all in all it's definitely worth it in my book
