Stopped in around brunch time. Service was excellent. Got the chicken & waffles and they were so good, I could just drink that gravy. Coffee was great, too, and the server kept my mug topped off.

Great food great atmosphere. They have a bar area, indoor or outdoor seating and a hall.

The food was absolutely, positively scrumptious. 🍽I got the boiled shrimp lunch special (Medium spicy; jumbo crab special flavor).Next time, Im going to try the hot! 😃 🔥

I went to Chucks Saturday morning about 11 the place was not very packed. The waitress was very nice we waited over an hour for our food. My boyfriend got all his food but they failed to bring my food which was French toast. They said they would be back with it and didnt return back for 15 minutes when I got my French toast it was all raw inside like they didnt cook it very long. I sent it back and was very upset they never did try to fix it or make it better. The manager was a very rude lady on the other hand I pretty much just left..I definitely will not be returning

Ahhh... I wonder if dining 8n is any better??Had take out and brisket is watery along with the Cole slaw..If its about weight then they win.Uncle bubs is much better!!!

Great lunch. Friendly and helpful staff. The main course was huge and very tasty. Good beers.Only reason for 4 stars was that they forgot the appetizer! Then, when I mentioned that there was no point in getting it now, they brought it (AFTER the main course was on the table)! Im sorry but, if you forget the appetizer until the entree is on the table you either dont serve it, and/or you dont charge for it, neither of which happened!

You cannot go wrong with Chucks menu! Never have had a bad thing that either location. Reasonably priced as well.

Service was awful. Snotty waitress with a need for an attitude adjustment. Would not recommend food was just ok

Meat and soup was great. Roasted veggies were very mushy. The baked potato was dried out. The corn muffin was wet not moist and all I could taste was jalapeños. Waitress was really nice!

A lot of delicious southern food for very reasonable price. And fabulous service too!

Came in for pulled pork dinner. Pork was hard, dry, not even pulled. I’m not the person that complains about the food but my husband couldn’t help but see that I only ate mashed potatoes and slaw . He alerted waitress who went to the manager who gave us 50%off the pulled pork dinner. She didn’t even come see or talk to us. My husband tracked the manager down who looked annoyed by us and explained that people come here for barbecue and this meal is just unbearable. It’s embarrassing that a kitchen serves this kind of dry burned piece of meat. We will not be returning. Mostly because the manager didn’t apologize and looked annoyed. That’s not how you run the business.

Good service, quick from kitchen to table. Very pleasant staff. Would recommend 🌺

First time here and I loved it except I thought that it was a little too salty for my taste...I had the meatloaf.

The waitress was fast too get or drinks and fat getting our orders. The food came and everything was so tasty. The price is a little high but the flavor of the food makes up for it.

Not good at all. Salad my son had was only good thing. Not in a hurry to go back.

Great food! Great service! Great breakfast variety! Would definitely come back here. Such a big place.

Really tasty food. Large portions. The mashed potatoes with sage gravy is fabulous!

Wonderful selection of beerFish dinner was great with coleslaw and tartar sauce that I have never tasted before.

Great food, New Orleans style entrées, wanna go try some more dishes

Everything tasted absolutely amazing. The drinks menu is very robust and the portions were generous.

Do you have a taste for for foods from the big easy? Remember to add hot sauce to any dish! Each year we attend Lunch with the Grinch. Super fun reservations recommended especially of you visit on a Saturday or Sunday. Dont skip the egg nog ice cream.

Great Tex/Mex/Southern Saturday & Sunday breakfast/brunch menu. Good service. Eat out in the patio.

Lunch with the Grinch! Very nice, food was impressively seasoned, tender, juicy, and flavorful! Loved the Cajun string beans. Definitely will be back

Great menu. Awesome atmosphere. Very clean.

Excellent as always. Slow bar service, as always. Food was delicious. Go here once a month.

I like chucks breakfast as well but this was dinner last time. Had the ribs. They were pretty good.

I’m never cooking at Thanksgiving ever again. Ordered the Thanksgiving meal pack from these guys this year and it was nothing short of phenomenal. 4lbs of succulent turkey breast, 2lbs of delicious Ham. Served with some of the most amazing sides I’ve ever tasted. The dressing and gravy were unreal and the mash and sweet potatoes were the perfect compliment. All for $130 including tax. Ordering and pick up were simple, friendly and efficient.This is good simple food done right. Bravo!!!

Excellent food and great service. The gumbo was amazing, we were super happy with this pick which was close to our hotel.

Chucks is an interesting place -- they can accommodate large events (I think there was a wedding in their reception space) and regular restaurant-goers. Theres a bar area with tables and TVs and, you know, a bar, but then a second dining room with tables and no TVs. Its family-friendly, but welcoming to all. Our group size changed, and it wasnt a problem when we let them know. The staff are friendly. There wasnt a problem splitting up the check. The food was excellent -- huge portions; tasty barbecue, salads, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, and desserts. The beverages options are numerous and varied -- lots of local and national craft beers, with some more mainstream brews too; cocktails; colas/sodas/pops; coffee and more. But lets go back to the coffee -- it was amazing. It was smooth and flavorful, but not overpowering or bitter. I could drink it all day, every day. Definitely get the coffee.

Great food & welcoming environment. So much to try, cant wait to go back!

Great food and excellent service. One of our favorite places. This visit was mostly for the crawfish boil they have in May. Their smoked meats and Southern style cooking are a real treat.

The food... omg! The service was wonderful. Our girl was so polite & smiled & so helpful too. The drinks were delicious! Love them strawberries lolDinner, I honestly couldnt eat my sandwich. I ate my sides & was full! Thank you also for taking care of my friends Birthday.. she loved her dessert!

Returning customer, but first time for breakfast and it was delicious. Will definitely go back for breakfast sometime

I dare you to get the large Mac and cheese. Its a meal in itself. I got a side order of BBQ pulled pork sandwich to go with it. Nothing left now but the nap.

Chucks annual crawfish boil did not disappoint! Ariel is very attentive and knows what you need before you even have to ask. Great job!

Always, especially tasty meals. Superb beer selection. Excellent srevice and ambiance!

We had a banquet at the place and the service was great besides the food.

Lots of space. Good food and great service!

We attended the Abita Mardi Gras Beer Pairing dinner. Chuck put together awesome food choices pairied with Abitas beer. He made Mussels & Shrimp in the Abita Purple Haze with fennel & garlic - delish! Another course was Pastalaya - similar to Mexican fideo, he added Cajun Tasso Ham - OMG to die for! For dessert, the pastry chef made king cake and homemade Abita Grapefruit Honey Ice Cream. They are dead on with all of their food made fresh daily. The main course was a 12oz smoked pork chop. I dont think there was a spot left on my plate. Their next dinner pairing is in March with Guinness. Cant wait.

Excellent place. I got the smoked chicken. A+. Waitress was great too. Lots of parking.

Very disappointed at the quality of food - that was the worst brisket I’ve ever had - it was almost all fat. The ribs were ok..

Great family owned restaurant where the food is the best in the western suburbs. Great drink menu as well with fabulous wine prices.

In the age of Covid, they have adapted well with outdoor seating and shout-out to Julian, our server who made our experience 5*worth. Food was truly southern style and delicious.

For Mothers Day they had a buffet, no menu orders. They made fresh omelets and had a craving station. It was nice and orderly.

Got a sample platter... was very tasty with 3 meats. But not served very warm.

Busy Sunday morning! This was typical in the past and good to see again.

I got the pulled pork and beef brisket both were amazing !! My sides were garlic mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese I enjoyed both of them. I would like to go back and try the jumbalaya next time. I highly recommend this place.

My ribs were good but Ive had better.

Great place for dinner.... I had the smoked turkey- dee-lish. We had four at our table and all went very well...loved it

Very tasty food. We did online order with curbside pickup. Excellent service on a large order. Everyones dinner was just as ordered. High quality for reasonable price. Carne Asada (Allen Brothers beef) was truly incredible. Cooked perfectly, many layers of flavor and generous portions. Thank you for a wonderful dinner, each family member enjoying the dinner. That is saying something!!!

I was there for a retirement seminar. The food was great.

Rib tips are so good. We also got the flight of ice cream wow it’s 4 degrees outside but couldn’t pass it up. Almond cake is simply Devine.

Fish was great plus a wonderful selection of beers.

Great food, good service . I would highly recomend this place. little far drive but well worth it

Excellent little restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff and absolutely delicious food. Very accommodating to specific needs.

Delicious food, good service! Reasonably priced entrees and beverages. Will visit again.

Addicted to those friggin nachos.....dam you Chucks..I say dam you....

It was our first time at the Darien location, service was excellent! However, the food was lacking. My sons Mac and Cheese was bland, my husbands rib eye sandwich was also bland it was missing that Cajun flare, my smoked turkey dinner was ok once I removed the bland gravy. We were very surprised since we love the flavors at the Burbank location. Maybe an off day for this location 🤔?

I have always enjoyed going to Chucks and yesterday was no different

If i could put this as no stars i would, i was there with 3 of my daughters and the waitress decided to keep ignoring us when we were ready to order. There was no introduction, no questions about our drink choices, and were racially profiled. never coming back

The food is consistently good with a nice beer selection.

First time visit and will definitely return. Great sampler platter. Lots of choices. Had pulled chicken,, chicken tenders, and catfish strips. Would get those again. Good choice of sides. Also very hsppy with the creamy broccoli soup. Big portions for price. Also had good sandwich selection.

Jessica our server was awesome.Good food

Chateau Orleans Banquets (AKA Chucks) made a difficult event seamless and stress-free. We recently held my fathers memorial here and the staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating all around.Even one of the servers/assistants was so empathetic and gave me heartfelt comforting words. Just a caring man. They were all understanding though, hard to make an exclusion.Food was great, though we had no doubts it wouldnt be, and service flowed naturally.For the overall cost, we couldnt have asked for it to have gone any other way.

Ordered 2020 Thanksgiving Package. Great meal. Best turkey I’ve ever had. Strongly recommend the food and the service. Overall excellent experience and thanks to all of you working to provide a great meal for my family!

Best BBQ around. Highly recommend!

First time there. Great place to be with close friends. Great staff. Even greater food!!! Chucks does not disappoint.

Our group sat outside under the tent which was great. Portions are big and most of us took some home. Beef brisket dinner cooked perfectly, delicious. Pulled pork was best the others had. Jambalaya with shrimp fantastic. Sides of cajun fries, mac n cheese, coleslaw excellent. Large beer selection too. Highly recommend.

The food was very good, nice smoky meats. The pulled pork nachos were delicious. Very extensive selection of beer. The building itself was very entertaining to look at, lots of vintage items on the walls. They also played trivia while we were there. Our service was very good, and overall it was a great place to eat.

I received a coupon for a free chicken dinner with an equal or greater purchase and decided to try it last night. All I can say is that these were the best and meatiest chicken tenders I’ve ever had. We ordered 2 chicken dinners for 2 of us and we have dinner for 2 nights! Delicious food, incredible and prompt take out service were the highlights of our experience. Social distancing and clean restaurant were also noted! We will be back.

Always great food...breakfast...lunch or dinner...Cold Beer too!!!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Spacing tables out so you dont feel crowded. Great BBQ!

Beat ribs Ive had in years. Great food, great atmosphere, great beer. What else do you need?

Now that is some good BBQ!! Try the Saturday special, you will NOT be disappointed! Prices are average of what youd pay for BBQ.

Great service and food. I have never had a bad experience at Chucks.

Great food, cool space. Dont miss this one, and dont forget to order the Mac n Cheese (as a side dish, never an entree)

Good food good service fair prices and spacious seating

Great place for late night cocktails. A much bigger than the Chucks in Burbank. They have sunday specials for football season.

We dined at socially spaced patio table. Bravo to chefs Cajun Shrimp appetizer and Grilled Shrimp salad. Delish. Vast on tap beers. Chose Annabelle Brewerys Eleanor porter beautifully complex beer. Recommend.

Great barbecue, sides very good, salads awesome

I drove 80 mins round trip for my favorite weekend breakfast spot, and they accidentally swapped half of our order with someone else’s. I did curbside pickup and didn’t realize until I was back home. Due to an allergy, I was “forced” to eat both.I am STILL giving up 5 stars, because the last 50+ times have been on point and delicious. Lunch and dinner, no different.

Absolutely fabulous food and service. I had the half smoked bbq chicken. Best chicken Ive Ever, had!!! ALL the food was stupendously delicious 😋👍👍👍 Cant wait to go back and have the rib tips next. Going to be a regular. Prices are awesome as well! But dont take my word for it, next time your out, tis the place to try! Thanks for a great meal and greàt service too.

The Best Ribs in Illinois! Love Chucks!

Very disappointed I order the brisket dinner and I got 5 small pieces of brisket and cold fries for 15 dollars lol Ive had better and got more for less at other bbq place, and the brisket is ice cold. So my last rating was a week ago and I went back and tryed it again got the brisket sandwich backed beans and cornbread muffin but this time I decided to get it take put was definitely better then having it delivered my food was warm this time not hot but definitely not as cold as it was. Only bad this I have to say is the sauce is a lil strange tasting but its been a much better experience this time around. So for the 3rd time Ive now had this particular chuck and not bad not as good as when I picked it up my self I had delivery this time and pulled pork sandwich tho it tasted great besides there funky bbq sauce it wasnt all that warm warm but not hot like Id expect being less then 5 mins away. Id have to say there cornbread muffin and there pulled pork are always more of the savior since your main oncor is never all that warm. And there fries will always be cold af by the time they get to you if you more then 3 or 5 mins away dont expect hot fries what so ever. But all in all over the cores of ordering 3 times from here I cant say anything horrible but I cant really praise them. Im sure its alot different if you actually dine in Im sure your food should be hot and ready. I wish they would put some money into having hot bag as most pizza place do and Ive never had a cold pizza from a pizza place

Great food and they are doing a great job with the whole order & pay on their website then pull up and they bring your food out. Great service and great job following the guidelines.

Food was delicious and was nice sitting outside under their canopy area. We brought our little 10 pound dog with us and after ordering our food, the manager Christina came out and rudely told us that dogs are not allowed. We offered to cancel our order and leave, but instead she went inside to speak to presumably the owner and then reluctantly said we could stay that time but that dogs are not allowed and just stormed away. They are within their right to have that policy, but theres no need to confront your customers with such utter disrespect. Suggest providing Christina with some customer servicing skills so that she learns how to take a proper tone with the people who are supporting the business by dining there.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. I love this place

Ordered ribs for 27.00 and a burger. Ribs were average quality and maybe the most expensive I’ve eaten in not sure how long. Burger was overpriced and came with no sides and was marginal at best. Server was a nice girl. Would not recommend for anything other than drinks. Have never had a meal worth eating above a 3 star here.

Great food, great beer selection, what more can you ask for

Great food, could be hotter!great bbcue!!

Great place. Had the catfish which was perfectly seasoned. The fish was light and not greasy. Cajun French fries were the perfect accompaniment. Dont forget to order a side of mac and cheese. Got the peach cobbler, not the traditional cobbler I prefer, but it was okay.

Absolutely amazing food! The brisket so good youll slap your mama! Desserts are so amazing that grandma should get slapped as well.Highly recommend the gumbo and rib tips.Nice atmosphere, decent serviceThere is also a free Texas hold em league on Thursday nights at 7. Lots of fun!

Very good variety of Barbaque, Cajon and Mexican food. One of the only restaurants that Im aware of that serves Cajon food. Service is prompt and courteous.

The food is amazing, only topped by the staff. Even, the owner, Chuck, made the rounds and checked in with most of the tables to see how everything was.

Chucks is not a bad place but its not a good one either. We got 2 samplers so we could try all there barbecue. Chucks claims they smoke their meat for twelve hours but that cant be true. There was zero smoke flavor to anything. Everything was just cooked meat covered with sauce. Our waitress would disappear for 30 minutes at a time with everyone at out table going thirsty. Our appetizers were good and the waitress was friendly. Our table ordered two desserts that should have been hot and gooey, a hot fudge brownie sundae and apple pie with icecream. Both were cold and hard like they were taken out of a fridge and not put in the microwave long enough. Overall I wouldnt recommend Chucks. The outdated run down interior is a good reflection of their tired menu. I wouldnt be surprised to see them on a Gordon Ramsey save our restaurant type show in the future.

A great place for very good food and price, need to get Sylvia as your waitress she is very good at her job and funny would go back for sure.

The environment is comfortable and relaxed. I ate their smoked brisket and pulled pork and was disappointed in it. There was way too much fat, more than normal. My other guests had different food and they did enjoy it. I would go back again.Response to owner: Thank you for letting me know that now, I will definitely take advantage of that when I return.

Came for crawfish boil was not disappointed at all.

Great food and service.
