Alice's Bar-B-Que

Located at 65 East 43rd Street on Chicago’s historic Grand Boulevard, Alice’s Bar‑B‑Que is a no‑frills barbecue joint beloved by locals and visitors alike. The moment you step inside, the scent of smoked ribs, hot links, and crispy chicken wings greets you, while the simple counter‑only layout invites a quick in‑and‑out experience. Pitmaster Joe expertly slow‑cooks each rack of ribs to a tender, caramelized finish, and the menu also features a double cheeseburger, a mini combo, and a large tip for those who love extra flavor. Shrimp lovers can enjoy the fried shrimp plate or the Great Shrimp Tacos that add a fresh twist to the meat‑heavy selection. Prices range from $10 for a wing combo to $20 for a full rib platter, making it an affordable mid‑range spot. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30 am until midnight, the restaurant closes on Mondays, and the extended weekend hours accommodate late‑night cravings. Takeout and delivery are fast, with online ordering available through the website, and a dedicated catering service can feed office parties or family gatherings with generous portions of rib tips, hot links, and wings. The venue is casual, with exposed brick walls, vintage signage, and a bustling atmosphere that reflects the neighborhood’s vibrant street life near the 43rd‑St Red Line station. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, a family dinner, or planning a catered event, Alice’s Bar‑B‑Que promises hearty, smoky flavors that keep Chicago coming back for more.
