Located in the heart of Sauk Village, Illinois, Woo Woo's Bar B Que is a standout destination for lovers of authentic barbecue and fast, flavorful comfort food. This vibrant barbecue joint masterfully blends Chicago-style favorites with down-home Southern influence, presenting a mouthwatering menu that delivers big on taste and generous portions.
The star of the menu here is undeniably the rib tips—offered in a range of sizes, from a Mini Tip to an XL Pan Rib Tip, Woo Woo’s knows how to serve perfectly tender, succulent ribs bathed in just the right amount of sauce—never overpowering, but lingering with a smoky, spicy kick that keeps customers coming back. Signature options like the Small Pan Rib Tip ($49.99) and the Large Rib Tip ($20.50) deliver that unforgettable, finger-licking goodness that true barbecue enthusiasts crave.
Equally impressive are the pork hot links, each dinner generously served with bread, fries, and cool slaw. The Turkey Link Dinner and classic Pork Hot Link Dinner bring a savory edge, bursting with bold, Chicago-style smoky flavors that perfectly complement the crispy golden fries. Seafood lovers will find delight in the Catfish Dinner and Tilapia Dinner, each cooked to flaky perfection and seasoned with finesse.
For those who enjoy variety, the combos are a fantastic choice—such as the popular Wings Combo and the 6 Wings Catfish Fillet Combo. These platters provide a dynamic mix of smoky ribs, spicy wings, savory links, and crispy fries, offering an ideal burst of flavors and textures with every bite.
Customers rave not only about the food quality but also the palpable love infused into every dish. One patron, Shadawn Coleman, shared how she enjoyed the balanced saucing on her $10 Holla Lunch Combo, highlighting the perfect harmony between tender chicken wings, rib tips, and links without feeling overwhelmed by heaviness. Another loyal guest, Vince B, praised the freshness and tenderness of his large rib tip combo paired with mild wings, calling it an “outstanding” lunch experience.
The restaurant’s atmosphere exudes warmth and authenticity, making it a favorite neighborhood spot where the wait times speak volumes about the popularity and quality. As Via DrexX mentions, although a little wait is involved unless ordering ahead, the delicious payoff is well worth it. The care taken to ensure each order is right—from preparation to packaging—was further emphasized by Chosen Child, who applauded the attentive customer service and consistency in flavor.

The food was so good I ate it twice yesterday. I had the $10 holla for lunch. It came with chicken wings, tips, a link and fries. It wasn’t drenched in sauce but it was just enough. My daughter and I shared it and it was just enough to get us full and not over eat. We the went back for a mini rib tip, this time we got the spicy sauce, earlier we got the regular mild sauce. It was just as good as the earlier meal. The customer service was also A1. It was a group of Black men doing the damn Thang. && they were handsome and respectful. 10/10 recommend it.
I just purchased lunch today and it was outstanding. I ordered the large rib-tip combo(hot links) and six wings with mild sauce. Everything was hot and fresh. Tips were tender, and wings were fresh. Great lunch
The only reason I gave this restaurant a 4 in service was because it's a little wait unless you order ahead via phone, but overall I can see why the wait is long because the food is DELICIOUS ....I tried Woo Woos a few years back when I lived in the neighborhood and I just had it again for the first time in a long time and it still hits, actually even better!! I introduced it to my husband and mother in law from Chicago and they absolutely was addicted...they wanted more . I think Woo Woo's BBQ is the best BBQ I've had so far in a good minute and this is coming from a Chicago native who loves BBQ. Another added plus is they have turkey tips in which I order, they are soooo good!!! Cooked to perfection with no fat, or gristle with special house made BBQ sauce.
Aye no cap the food is The chicken 10 The Links 10 The Ribs 10 I was not disappointed and customer service on a phone order respect didn’t rush the order prices great and got it right I love will be back Pic came late I had done smashed it and it was fully loaded
Please don’t let the negative reviews discourage you from gathering your own opinion and experience. I’m new to the area and really wanted some BBQ. Aside from the other reviews I tried it out and when I say it was worth EVERY penny, it was. I ordered the large turkey tips and I’m glad i did. The meat was tender, the cuts were perfect, there were no bones and all meat and it was sauced to perfection. I called in my order and I only waited about 5 minutes after the 30 minute pick up time. I would definitely eat here again. The food and service was amazing.
I'm from Champaign South Central Illinois Small Time Chi- town. That barbecue is excellent soft, season, juicy. Those links are to die for my brother. Whatever you're doing please do not stop. A lot of restaurants get started with something good and then they turn off the ovens. And raise the prices. My mother said when you got a good thing going feed the people. Please tell Keep it Love y'alls. Young man he has a strong head on your shoulders. Your employees are friendly, kind, and on it.
