Welcome to Baby Back Blues BBQ
We’re Baby Back Blues BBQ, located at 16200 S Lincoln Hwy Unit 114 in Plainfield. We’ve been smoking real hardwood BBQ since 1998. Our place is clean, casual, and friendly. Families, friends, and neighbors come in to relax and eat. We’re proud to be featured on WGN’s “Chicago’s Best.” We keep things real, simple, and done the right way every day.
The Best BBQ in Town Since 1998
We’ve spent many years learning how to smoke BBQ with patience. Our ribs are tender, our brisket cooks low and slow, and every plate gets care. We don’t rush the process. We stay true to steady craft and honest cooking. Good BBQ needs time, and we respect that. This is how we built trust with our community.
Featured on Chicago’s Best
Being featured on “Chicago’s Best” confirmed the work we do every day. The show highlighted our ribs, brisket, and sides and the steady effort behind them. We didn’t change our process for the cameras. We stayed true to our routine and our food spoke for itself.

📸 Slow Smoke. Full Flavor. Good Food to Share.
Slow smoke and real wood fire shape every dish here. Each plate is made to enjoy together, with flavor that feels easy, warm, and worth sharing.
The Passionate Pitmasters and Real BBQ Balance
We cook BBQ because we care about the craft. Our pitmasters manage heat, wood, and smoke with patience every day. We don’t rush the process. We give the food time to build real character. We make BBQ the same way we’d make it for our own families. Each plate carries steady smoke from real hardwood, a small touch of sweet, a little spice, and a clear savory finish. The balance is calm, real, and easy to enjoy.

What our guests are saying
Great little spot! Walked in to order out and was happy right off the bat because of the smells. The staff was friendly and our (sizeable) order was prepared quickly. I was even happier when we got home because the brisket, slaw, breaks and cornbread were all delicious! Highly recommend!!

Order the dirty beef brisket sandwich FYI dirty means they leave the fat with the burned bark on it yumm best macaroni and cheese ever had best mashed potatoes and gravy homemade and best green beans Don't forget to get yourself some of them marinated pickles you know you want to and ask about the Carolina Sauce they don't have it marked but they got er around meow

A BBQ joint, nothing fancy. Had the brisket and mild link combo. Brisket was super tender and moist. Link was tasty. My wife had pulled pork platter; it was very plentiful and was also excellent. Our first time here, we'll certainly be back.
