Food was great, arrived quickly, reasonably priced.

Very disappointed with my recent Heckys. I had to wait over 90 minutes for delivery and I'd ordered ribs with sauce on the side, fries and slice of bread well... the fries were ic...

Move Over Garbage 3/10/2007

I've been living in Evanston for almost two years and I couldn't wait to get a taste of Hecky's World Famous BBQ and sauce. But after recently experiencing eating at this place, I have to say move over garbage and make room for Hecky's food to join you. I ordered the pricey Chicago style rib tips and it was a waste of money. They make better BBQ in a grocery store. There was no smoked or grilled taste what so ever. i wasted $30 in this joint, only to come away very disappointed. The hotlinks tasted dry and terrible, the chicken wings tough, and the rib tips fatty. My advice is avoid this place and try Buffalo Joe's instead. If you like eating overpriced garbage, then you'll love Hecky's. Pros: Zilch Cons: Lots more

Not that good 10/31/2005

Let me start by saying I wanted it to be good, but I've had better BBQ at McDonalds. If this is close to Texas BBQ - I now have no reason to ever step foot in the Lone State, 'cause I thought this could be their one redeeming quality. Sorry - but it's just not good. more

Down home barbecue 9/6/2004

After moving here from Texas, I was missing all the good barbecue joints, but Hecky's definitely comes close in terms of quality food. The sauce is great, but you better like a lot of it because they pour it on! The portions are large and filling and although at first glance the prices look high, it is well worth the money. The ribs are so moist, they fall off the bones! The sides are delicious as well, especially the baked beans. Pros: barbecue sauce, ribs, fast service Cons: , french fries more

It IS the sauce 5/20/2004

honestly, the meat here is nothing special, but the sauce rules! Don't plan on eating here, there is no place to sit and your food comes in a bag--this is a strictly take-out joint. I don't agree that this is the best BBQ ever, but it is certainly the best in the Chicago area. more

Great place to get a pull pork sandwich. Two disvantages are hard to park and no place to sit down eat. Beside that is the best place to get BBQ. more

best sauce around... 6/27/2002

This tiny little place is easy to just drive right by - but don't. Hecky's has the best ribs and best bb sauce in the entire city. It's just a tiny place, and you have to carry out the food - but it will have you coming back for more. more

Hands down the best ribs 6/4/2002

Hecky's is without a doubt the best ribs I have ever had. I live on the far end of St. Charles and I travel at least once a month down to hecky's for their rib tips. I have been going there for the past 5 years ever since I heard about it and there is no doubt that they are the best rib tips I have ever had. I have been to many ribplaces and I have been to many rib fest's and nothing compares to Hecky's. I have recommended it to a lot of my friends and even people that dont even like ribs or meat agree that Hecky's ribs are the best and they would eat there again. more
