Great Chicago Barbeque
Sunday, April 01, 2007
First saw Fat Willy's on WTTW's Check Please and had to check it out myself. My wife and I went for lunch on Saturday and it was great! We started with "Willy's Chili" loaded with meat, beans, cheese with salsa and sour cream on the side (we threw that in too). Fat Willy's is no longer BYOB, they serve beer and wine now. We then ordered a full slab of ribs and a half chicken so we could have a little of each; we had enough leftovers for another big lunch.
Seating was immediate and service was excellent. I was impressed that the waiter took the time to say "you're welcome" whenever we said "thank you." It's a small touch, but appreciated.
We especially liked the warm barbeque sauce, it didn't cool off the hot food. Two sauces were delivered to the table, mild and spicy. If you like things really spicy you'd be disappointed by the spicy sauce; it really wasn't spicy. I liked them both and used the mild sauce on my fries.
We did not save room for desert, but we saw a couple of them being delivered and they looked great; maybe next time.
We will be back for dinner, I have to try their brisket and it's only available after 5:00pm.
Pros: Great food, casual atmosphere, a place where you can feel comfortable licking your fingers.
Cons: No street parking, but $2 parking in the lot across the street.
