I like BBQ, a lot! I like it because Robinson’s introduced me to it as I grew up a few blocks from the original restaurant. I made it back in after moving away and I must say they have maintained there #1 status! Huge rack of ribs, well cooked, tangy sauce with a perfect pull. I had missing out since moving away. Pulled pork sandwich was great too. Juicy and flavorful.

This was our first time ever ordering from Robinson's and we are so glad we did. Everything was so good! We got a bucket of tips and wow. It was more like an entire tray of tips! The tips came dry but that may have been my fault just cause Uber eats is weird sometimes. There was plenty of extra BBQ sauce tho and we just poured it right over the tips and man oh man it was so good!! I had a taste for brisket but not BBQ... i never had a BBQ brisket but this one at Robinson's was delicious. There's so much food I'm pretty sure my husband and I have leftovers for the next 2 days. Lol Oh yeah!! I am super duper picky with potato salad... The only potato salad Ive ever liked, was my mom's*RIP, and theirs is soooooo similar!! *Sorry Mom!!* Thanks so much Robinson's... We'll be back soon!!

I recently attended a family event hosted at this venue, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The buffet-style food setup was convenient, the staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. The well-stocked bar and available jukebox added to the experience. The venue was impeccably clean, including frequently maintained restrooms. Thanks for a great experience, great food, and service.

Shawn made the Long Island Ice tea!!! He took the order also. I have not tasted the food yet but they have turkey options for us that don't eat pork. They have a buffet also with great dessert. People in the restaurant rave about the food. Looking forward to see what they are trying about.

I think the Robinsons No. 1 Ribs Restaurant has several locations, this review is for the location in Oak Park, Illinois. I've only tried this restaurant twice (as I don't live in the area), but each time the food has been consistently good. They offer takeout or you can choose to dine in. The staff are polite and friendly. It's a casual, clean facility, in a safe area and the ambiance would be even nicer if they played music. Anyway...the food is why you go there and they offer generous portions of delicious, perfectly barbecued ribs and chicken, greens, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, potato salad, French fries and corn bread. Items are reasonably priced. Parking is in the back.
