Q: I've been eating at BBQ king since I can remember, being like most westsiders. I really love their PoBoys, crushed ice in their sweet tea, homemade onion rings like no one else and even their trout plate and tartar sauce. The best part about visiting the king, as we call it, is the workers. They always recognize their regulars with a friendly hello. And to the person who said their tea was too small, refills are free if you walk inside.

A: positive

Q: Tried the new years eve event, dinner with wine pairings. Food was Ok, never saw the wine pairings so we bought our own which was good, decent selections. They have a good staff but they can't manage big events very well, not enough staff. Suggestion would be to hire etra folks for the really large events, service anf getting what you pay for is everything in this business. Very limited bar so would not classify as a full bar. Sundays are a great day to go not real busy so food and service are good

A: negative

Q: Great meals,drinks and service in the bar. Happy hour until 7pm is a plus. We experienced none of the problems recently experienced by others, other than they were out of Corona beer. Nice change of pace from usual Westside restaurants and menus. Will return soon.

A: positive

Q: Excellent place to entertain clients. This was not my first time at Mastro's and they never disappoint. The Wagu beef was the best I've ever had. EVERYTHING wasa absolutely delicious, and the staff is as professional as they come. Unfortunately for me, after this visit, I fell ill. I have no reason to believe it was because of Mastro's, but when they called to follow up on my dining experience, I told them, in the event others had also had issues. They assured me they had not been aware of issues, but would talk to their chef, just in case. They followed up with two more phone calls that rang true of genuine concern. I live in the Chicagoland area and had no idea they had a restaurant in Chicago as well - if not for their phone calls, I may not know for a long time. Class act, all the way around.
