This is an interesting location with Baby Back Blues down the street!

Baby Back blues might be down the street but it is in a horrible location and people rarely visit there in my opinion.

I look forward to a good BBQ place in the area as they are rare and hard to come by, if this place is good I won't have to go all the way to the Patio off Weber for my brisket fix.

What's the beef!? If you don't like the place don't go. At least give it a chance. Doesn't cost you anything if the business fails. I for one am looking forward to sampling all that is offered,

We are so excited about this, there are no BBQ places in the area that are good. Sorry, but we have tried Baby Back Blues a few times and no one in family ever liked it. We loved Fat Terry's from Shorewood, but they closed. We hope this new place is good. We can't wait for them to open!

I hope they do great!

Baby back blues been there for better than ten years. Must be doing something right.

The fact that this new bbq place will be fresh, not frozen and from scratch is an awesome alternative! BBB is okay, but they use a lot of artificial and processed ingredients. Good luck...can't wait to try ya - yee haaa!

I susspect they will get some of their meats from Tischlers, if not they should.

How can I learn more about a server position?

The owner of baby back blues is there every night making sure his product is cooking right, when I say at night, I'm talking 11p-2a, dedication for quality.

I wish it was moving into the former Limestone Mall.

Not much good to eat North of town on Rte 59.

Good luck. I think it takes a lot of gut's to try this at a time when so many of this type of food places have gone by the way side. I for one will try everything they have to offer a few times before I pass judgement on this man's cooking. I do a lot of BBQ myself so I think I know when something has been cooked the right way.

Kudos for a Plainfield restaurant opening without another Irish name, theme, menu or an Oriental place. I will certainly give them a try and wish them all the luck in the world that space in that plza has been a revolving door.We should have signed up Portillos also when we had the chance instead Shorwood welcomed them.

I am just happy its not another dentist office or pediatricians office. How many people in the area need their teeth cleaned? This town needs a place that can be on "Diners Drive-Ins & Dives"

Am I able to go into there to get an application?

Here is something that I would like to know: Will they be cooking inside of their kitchen or will they be cooking outside in their ally? I live near the BBB restaurant and I have to tell you, I CANNOT STAND the smell of the wood and nasty meat odors that burn outside almost every single night. It is awful and on a beautiful night, I cannot even open my windows because then my house has that smell, you know like being a bon fire all night, that stale smoke smell. I just cannot believe that the Village of Plainfield allows this kind of practice and that the PFD allows an open fire and food to cook outside all night UNATTENDED (have gone there in the middle of the night to complain and NOBODY IS THERE) I'm NOT saying that their food is bad, I used to eat it before they started cooking it outside, but won't go anymore now that it cooks in the ally!

I for one welcome any BBQ to town . I tried BBB and they were SUBPAR , to say the least , and ive tried it several times , tho the sauce was good . So welcome Wild wild west

Will you be excepting applications

Do not bother! Limited menu Beef,Ribs and pulled pork and whole chicken. No rib tips or pulled chicken. BBQ sauce is bland and no flavor. I tried the pulled pork and very lightly smoked. Had a weird taste in my mouth after eating. Really disappointed. I give them 1 year, Stick a fork in them they are done for. No pun intended. Baby back blues is much better. There is also another BBQ place one on Jefferson in Joliet that is great also. I forgot the name. 15 minutes from this one down 59 and east on Jefferson.

We won't be back. We tried two appetizers and a tri-tip sandwich.I asked the owner what he would recommend & he had to ask one of the other guys which was a red flag. We tried the poppers which looked as if they had been reheated & were lukewarm- 6 small ones stuffed with some meat mixture. McBrides does an awesome job on their homemade poppers and I'll stick with those. The BBQ nachos were served on a little larger than a salad sized plate with a handful of chips- may 1 and 1/3 cups, about 1/3 cup of BBQ pork, very little cheese, a few onions and tomatoes. Again, not really hot. The sandwich did have a warm bun but the meat barely covered the bun. French fries- about 1.5 cups and again not hot and looked reheated.The place had only one other table eating so no reason for the food not to be hot. After we placed the order, it was ready in less than 5 minutes so you can see why I feel things were reheated. There were two sauces-sweet and hot but a pepper type hot. No flavor for either and very runny and the not vinegar type if you are wondering.The bar is nice and bartender as well though I did not order a drink. The place was clean but the owner does need to wear a hair net if he is in the kitchen.The health department would not be happy. My son thought the place "sucked" and I agree. I'd recommend Back Back Blues in Plainfield or Lil Porgys in Crest Hill. Unless they up the quality of food it will not be around long. Sorry wish I could have given a good review.

Do not go here. My son got the hot dog, it was kid of greyish with a stale bun. The pork was definately microwaved and gross. My hubby got the ribs and they were ping underneath the sauce. I am highly surprised we didn't all get sick. I am sure they will be closed soon.

For all of you bbq rookies here. When you walk into a place for the first time look for how many gold pigs there are. Yeah, I mean bbq trophies with a gold pig on top, medals, awards etc...Almost all good bbq joints are more than proud of their winnings as they should be. Remember, its all about the golden pig. No trophys, awards or medals hanging around ought to be a sign. And dont order a hot dog at a bbq joint. Cmon...

Yeah..well my 4 year old doesn't eat BBQ yet..so hot dog was the only option for him. Thought it would be more like a sit down restaurant with a larger menu.Still doesn't excuse downright nasty food.

The atmosphere was nice nice and very clean. However, when you walk in it is a bit confusing. We thought we were suppose to sit down and be served. We were then instructed by the nice bartender that we had to go to the back of the restaurant to order. It was a bit odd.

The menu is very limited and was not on-line for us to view ahead of time.

My take on the food was that it was average at best. My buddy and I had the brisket, mac and cheese, chili, slaw and 1/2 chicken.

First of all I am not a BBQ snob at all. The brisket was good/average the flavor was good but dry. The mac and cheese was awful. It was very dry and I think it had sat in the warmer too long. Aside from that it had absolutely no flavor. The chili with brisket meat was the star of the meal. (That's not saying much). The chicken was about average. My favorite was the slaw it had wonderful flavor.

Needless to say I will more than likely not go back. Sadly, if it doesn't improve I think it will be gone in less than 6 months.

I too miss Fat Terry's in Shorewood. I've been to BBB a few times but found the meat dry and I'm not fond of how they put the sauce on. For now if I have a craving I drive to Smokys BBQ on Jefferson in Joliet. They have a full menu and nice atmosphere if you want to eat in. The sauce was very flavorful and the meat was tender.

Note to self, I should have read the articles about how this guy has no experience in the BBQ arena. Down right gross. Go back to the video business.
