Really delicious and eclectic bbq options. Lots of Asian inspired flavors but in the classic bbq tradition. Brisket and ribs were quite tasty and I was caught off guard by how much I enjoyed their bbq lasagna. The ordering is a bit different so take your time, especially with their massive menu. Nice if bar-like atmosphere and friendly service. Would definitely gladly eat here again.

We had Chicago Culinary Kitchen cater my husband’s birthday party last weekend, and the food was absolutely amazing! We’ve eaten at the restaurant before and it’s always incredible, which is why we decided to go with them for catering, but you never know, sometimes catering can be hit or miss. In this case, it was just as delicious as eating in person. The delivery was seamless, and the driver was so helpful in getting everything set up. The food stayed warm, traveled well, and held up beautifully. Everyone at the party kept commenting on how great everything tasted. One fun note: we had a couple of guests up from Texas, and as anyone who knows barbecue knows, Texans can be very particular about their BBQ. They absolutely loved it, which says a lot! Jay was also fantastic to work with. He called me ahead of time to walk through the order and gave helpful tips for setup and serving. Everything went perfectly from start to finish. I can’t recommend Chicago Culinary Kitchen enough. Just phenomenal food and great service all around.

Last time I went to this restaurant was back in 2019, and I am happy to say that it still better than ever! Brisket was juicy and smoky, the potato wedges are absolutely delicious. Their collection if sauces are amazing. You can’t ask for better atmosphere, rock n roll music and decor and friendly staff. You can also check their instagram for the special menu and events.

This place is perfect for those barbecue lovers. The corn is something I highly recommend getting. Along with the brisket sandwich. Yes it does get messy, but it is worth it! And to mention, the outdoor seating is really nice.

chicago culinary kitchen was actually great—like, really solid. the place has good looks, kind of that cool rustic vibe without trying too hard. staff was super nice, service was fast, and the food came out quicker than i expected. there were a lot of good choices on the menu, but i went with a burger and it was perfect—juicy, flavorful, exactly what you want. fries were just okay, nothing to write home about, and the spicy ketchup was kinda weird, not really my thing. but everything else? tasty, satisfying, and the portions were huge, like “am i supposed to finish this?” big. overall, great spot—would definitely come back.

I don’t normally do lunch but… When I see a blinking BBQ sign… 👀 Pictured with Dave the “Pit Boss”. Great BBQ, great vibe, I’ll be back! I had the barbecue brisket and the 18 hour beans. 😋 Chicago Culinary Kitchen 😋💪🏽👏🏽

I saw this place on TT. It looked amazing. I finally got in and I will say I was blown away. I have for years drive by thinking this was a cooking school. I was wrong. It's an amazing restaurant. I got the buffalo chicken. It turned two meals. All their menu looks awesome. I'm a fan for sure. Can't wait to go back. Just remember, they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience at Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the atmosphere! It’s fun, edgy, and totally unique. The rock ’n roll theme mixed with the laid-back vibe made it feel like more than just a meal, it was an experience. The food was phenomenal! Every single thing we tried had TONS of flavor. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the buffalo chicken sandwich was HUGE, and the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy perfection with some flamin hot chettos on top. On top of that, the service was excellent. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seem to love everything about the restaurant. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!!

This place is amazing and I feel as using “amazing” is an understatement. The kitchen has such a fun welcoming vibe on top of the great staff who’s always ready to help you with any questions and suggestions for things to try! They have staples at the restaurant like the Sweet Brisket Sandwich (my go to) BUT they crank out these unbelievable specials that you HAVE TO TRY! From beautifully cut meats, to hand crafted beverages, welcoming smiles and don’t forget the mouth watering cake, this place should become your go to too!

First visit here and the food was fabulous. I had the Steakhouse Smashburger, Truffle Salt Fries, and Creamy Dreamy Potato Salad. The Legacy and Texas Hippie sauces were both top shelf. My wife had the 1/2lb Brisket. We both loved our meals. The atmosphere was okay, but the music a tad too loud with the genre leaning much more toward Heavy Metal, than "Rock and Roll" as advertised on the window. At least while we were in the building. My next visit will likely be for carryout.

From the moment I walked in the place smelled great. Had a lot going on visually appealing. The service was kinda of slow. Food was amazing. Next time I’m in town I will definitely be back. The food looked amazing as I forgot to take a picture. Get the bread pudding is was also amazing.

It was our first time here and it was a great experience. The service and atmosphere 10 out of 10. I gave the food 4 stars specifically because of the sliced brisket. We found it a tad dry, but holy crap. The chicken was insanely tender and juicy, fell right off the bone. Truffle fries good, Brussel sprouts amazing ands overall an incredible food and drink menu. I would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was ok. For the prices I wish it was better. The brisket was dry and for the half pound I got there was a lot of fat in the cuts I received. The pulled pork sandwich is amazing. The coleslaw def carried the sandwich. The bbq sauce is amazing. And the fries covered in that garlice aioli was freaking bomb!!!!!!! The to-go server was very very nice. Will be back to try other items.

Mixed reviews on menu items. Loved the pastrami but the char siu rib tips were off and dry. Did not have the flavors I would expect. Would not recommend them but all the other traditional meats were excellent.

We got there early on a weekday evening and got seated right away. Casual atmosphere and great service. Food was served within minutes of ordering. We ordered 1/2 lb of brisket, St. Louis ribs, Texas link, coleslaw and bbq beans. The brisket was tender and fatty - not outstanding, but better than most bbq places in the area. Next time I would order 1 lb ,hopefully in order to get a thicker piece. The St. Louis ribs were big and meaty, but were a bit dry and could’ve been more tender. The Texas link was outstanding as was the coleslaw and barbecue beans. Overall, a good BBQ joint, better than others in the burbs.

I had the regular 1/2 slab of ribs ..ribtips .potato salad .. corn muffin .. The regular ribs were tender but just a bit too salty ..probably the rub .The ribtips were tender and very good and also was a nice portion ..the potato salad was ok .. the muffin was also a nice size ... the sides are ala carte ...the service was friendly and very good ... its seems to be a very friendly upbeat and lively place ... They have hightop counter seating and backyard bench seating...OQ
