WILMA’S FAMOUS BBQ IN CHICAGO 🥩

Wilma's Famous BBQ & Tavern
2024/1/17 Edited to

... Read moreFinding truly great BBQ in the heart of a bustling city like Chicago can sometimes feel like a quest, but I recently stumbled upon a gem that I absolutely have to share: Wilma's Famous BBQ & Tavern. Tucked away at 17 N Wabash Ave fl 2, this spot truly lives up to its name, promising some of the best BBQ in Downtown Chicago. After my visit, I can confidently say it’s a must-try for any meat lover! My experience started with a refreshing Blueberry Lemonade for $5, which was the perfect sweet and tangy counterpoint to what was to come. For the main event, I opted for their famous BBQ Platter, priced at $39. This wasn't just a meal; it was a feast! The platter came loaded with a fantastic selection of meats: unbelievably tender Rib Tips that practically fell off the bone, succulent Turkey Tips that were surprisingly juicy and flavorful, a robust Hot Pork Link, and a savory Turkey Link. Each piece was slow-smoked to perfection, boasting that deep, authentic smoky flavor you crave from truly great BBQ. The meats were incredibly well-seasoned and cooked, making every bite a delight. I could tell a lot of care and expertise went into preparing these classic BBQ offerings. But a BBQ meal isn't complete without its sides, and Wilma's did not disappoint. Their creamy Mac & Cheese, also $8, was pure comfort food, rich and cheesy – exactly how I like it. The Collard Greens, also priced at $8, were cooked perfectly, tender with a savory depth that complemented the richness of the BBQ without being overpowering. For those who aren't solely focused on smoked meats, they also offer a tempting Fried Platter for $45, which includes Chicken, Shrimp, and Catfish. It's great to know there are options for everyone! My overall impression echoed the ratings I saw: Food 8.3/10, Quality 8.4/10, Service 8.4/10, and Price 8.2/10, culminating in an OVERALL score of 8.3/10. The service was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere of Wilma's Famous BBQ & Tavern felt cozy and welcoming, typical of a beloved local spot. Whether you're a local or just visiting, if you're in downtown Chicago and searching for a satisfying BBQ meal that hits all the right notes, Wilma's Famous BBQ should definitely be on your radar. Whether you're craving classic Rib Tips, the unexpected delight of their Turkey Links, or a full Fried Platter, their menu offers a great variety, and the portions are generous, ensuring you leave feeling completely satisfied. It’s more than just a meal; it's an experience that captures the essence of great American BBQ right in the heart of the city. Don't forget to grab some photos of your delicious spread – it's definitely Instagram-worthy! This place truly delivers on taste, quality, and value, making it one of my top recommendations for Chicago BBQ.

The Behemoth BBQ Burger Is Next Level 🍔🔥
Tried The Behemoth — a stacked BBQ sandwich built on top of a burger patty. Loaded with brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and bacon, and apparently there’s a 4:18 record to finish it. Definitely one of the wildest builds I’ve seen. Would you try it? 👀 #FoodieFinds #BBQLovers #BurgerL
