The place is actually a lot smaller than I thought, but cozy nonetheless. Our waitress for the evening was not very attentive, which is a little hard to understand considering there aren't that many tables to wait on, but she at least gave us what we asked for. I have to try the beef brisket anywhere I go that serves it, so I did, not really impressed. I've had better at Famous Daves. My second issue was the sauce. Good sauce makes for good BBQ. Theirs was like glorified ketchup. The corn had some seasoning on it that tasted like meat tenderizer and the fries were either old or overcooked. I don't like to write a place off after just one experience. It could have been an off day. I would try them again, but who knows when that will be because i live sooo far away. Pros: Didn't have to wait over 20 minutes for table Cons: Everything was just average to have driven so far

This place has some great ribs, maybe one of the best in the city. Make sure to get that with their spicy barbeque sauce. That spicy sauce really adds a great kick to the meal. Another really great thing to try on their menu is their cheese fries with chili. Really, really good. It is a great place to go that is very casual, no-rules sort of a place. Also, cheap food too!

When we finally got seated, I was ready to eat some BBQ ribs! I thought to myself, terrible hostess but possibly delicious BBQ ribs waiting for us. When the BBQ ribs came to our table, they all appeared to look dark black. I said to myself it was the BBQ glaze all over the ribs, well I was completely wrong. Just biting into those ribs were just charcoal. The BBQ ribs were burnt, dry, and little meat. It was completely disgusting. I asked my girlfriend to taste my ribs to find out her opinion. She couldnt eat much of it since there wasnt any meat on the bones except for charcoal. The quality of ribs to the price we paid for them was NOT WORTH MY MONEY! Beware and caution yourself if you go there and hopefully you can have a better experience than mine was. Pros: N/A

I've had BBQ all over the world and the US and I think Fat Willy's is one of the Best. As a man from Chicago, I take my BBQ very Seriously. Up until now, I thought Carsons had the best Ribs in the city. I like Ribs with the sweet BBQ that strech off the rib. I know, others like it to fall off or like dry BBQ. Not me! The Flavor is a cross between, chinese and open pit, OUTstanding.

Driving up Western Ave how can you NOT stop by Fat Willy's? The aroma of the BBQ makes your tummy grumble and nothing else will satisfy. I have been across the country and eaten in plenty of BBQ joints - Fat Willy's is by far the best in Chicago! The pulled-pork sandwich is the bomb be sure to get extra slaw because that too is spectacular! Pros: Quality, Friendly Staff, Flavor

Great food. I love the chicken sandwich (which I can rarely eat more than half of), the ribs are awesome and they also have one of the best hamburgers in the city. Cramped on the inside, and a lack of a non-smoking section is a turn off for me, but I'll keep coming back for the food. I think this place hands down the best bar-b-q place dollar for dollar in Chicago. Pros: Food, Food, Food Cons: Small seating area, No Non-Smoking, Parking
