Alice Bar-B-Que

Though not a big fan of the french fries, everytime I buy BBQ from here its always tender and fingerlicking good. Some pretty shady looking characters seem to always be hanging around the place but they never bother me.

Torn between giving this two or three stars but in the end gave it 3. The taste definitely deserves a 3.. Maybe even 3.5. The problem is that even though the rib tips are delicious, they are very fatty and grisly. Most rib tibs have more meat. But what meat you do get is delicious. Also, underneath the tips are a pound of soggy, undercooked fries. If you are putting fries under the meat as a lot of places do, you have to make sure the fries are cooked a little more than you normally might cook them.

If I go back, I'll try the ribs which I'm hoping have more meat.

I visited this place on 11/16/12 arriving at 7:40 pm for a large order of tips with only 2 people ahead of me. low and behold i did not get my food until 8:21 pm and this was on a call-in order. that is just sad. The cashier was very rude. gangbangers hanging out in front of the entrance door. I felt completely un-safe! and the place was filthy (chicago city inspectors need to go there). i saw one of the cooks leave out and return without washing his hands to the food area. i will not be returning i dont care how good their food is, i care about the cleaniness and good customer service, if i am spending my hard earned money.
