Great local BBQ spot! The sauce is incredible and ties everything together. Their rib tips are tasty but not smoked as long, which makes the meat tougher/chewier and doesn’t allow the fat to render (bigger chunks of fat). This could be a personal preference. The hot links are delicious and the fries are exceptional – the seasoning is perfect! Caramel cake is homemade and is perfectly moist. The caramel is a little gritty and I’d love a little more tackiness but has a nice flavor

Wings and sausage were very good. I thought the rib tips were tough and very fatty. Sauce was very sweet. I will go back again and try the ribs with sauce on the side. Side note: there are techniques to take the edge of the butter in the greens . They were under seasoned in contrast to everything else.

I have been a customer for about 30 years. Why? Because I can count on the high quality and fair prices. My family and friends are also satisfied customers. Our favorites are the rib tips and the sweet potato pie. Their sauce is THE BEST!!!

Hecky’s Barbecue has been a Evanston staple for years . I decided to have them for lunch again one day and it was good . I ordered the “mutt” and it delivered. The mutt is two smoked wings , rib tips ,one hot link and fries. The wings could’ve been cooked a little longer but was still tasty and the sauce isn’t my favorite but everything else was good . Hecky’s always come through when I have a taste for bbq.

Very welcoming folks. I tried the rib tips and hot links (mild). They were very meaty with a little bit of chew to them. Just the way I like my rib tips. I had a 50/50 mix of hot and regular sauce. I also got a side of each and would just go with the hot sauce (a little bite) next go round.

Legendary for a reason. Everything is spectacularly good, but the best deals are the whole smoked chicken and the turkey leg– if you can get ’em. The Juneteenth soda is a must and don’t forget two slices of caramel cake: one after dinner and the other when no one’s looking!

Wow!!!! Just wow!!!! A bit pricey, but the rib tips were delicious. They didn’t add any napkins with my order though. But the ribs were delicious and cut to perfection. This was my first time ordering and I’m very much impressed!!!!

Hot links, tips, fries, and potato salad was good. I wouldn’t get the caramel cake again. Baby backs were okay. I recommend get sauce added on the baby backs if you get them.
