Chicago Williams BBQ in Frankfurt am Main

Arrived on time with a reservation of a table and were seated right away. Place looked really good inside. Ordered 2 beers which arrived quickly. Placed an order for a shared platter. Waited for 30 minutes and no food arrived. Call waitress said 5 minutes. Waited 10 minutes no food arrived. Called manage that said that our order was misplaced or not printed and they are making now. I was expecting at least a bowl of salad until meat arrived but nothing offered from manager. 1 hour from order food arrived. The chicken was tasteless (only the outside rub had taste), turkey nothing special, the pulled pork was nice. The pork ribs were really good. The mash and gravy not so good and mac and cheese very dry because they put bread crumbs on top. We were greeted with cheesecake from manager due to the 1 hour delay in food. It should have been handle better.

Chicago Williams BBQ inside the Gekko House: A BBQ Heaven in Frankfurt! If you're looking for authentic, mouthwatering BBQ in Frankfurt, look no further than Chicago Williams BBQ, conveniently located inside the stylish Gekko House hotel. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of smoked meats will transport you straight to BBQ heaven. I had the pleasure of trying both the brisket and the BBQ ribs, and both were absolutely incredible. The brisket was tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor, with a perfect bark. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, with a rich, tangy sauce that complemented the meat perfectly. It's clear that they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their craft. The atmosphere is cool and casual, with a lively vibe. The service was friendly and efficient, and the staff were happy to offer recommendations. Whether you're a guest at the Gekko House or just a BBQ enthusiast in Frankfurt, Chicago Williams BBQ is a must-visit. Prepare for a BBQ feast that will leave you completely satisfied. Five stars all the way!

Food is great. I usually get take out as me and the family didn’t enjoy the atmosphere the last time we went there. A little too friendly customer service.

Juan is really a top bartender! Loved it!

way too expensive, for what is being delivered. Staff was friendly but came by almost every 5 minutes. we got the impression, that they wanted us to finish and leave, while the whole restaurant was empty. food was alright, but not that special which really confused us regarding the prices.

Fantastic, the people, the food, the atmosphere. Just a 10/10 experience, everyone was so kind and the food was phenomenal

Pastrami and brisket were super tasty. Pulled pork is rather dry. There were no beef ribs at the moment, but the spare ribs were good. Quite expensive, good cocktails, few types of beer.

The Chicago Williams is very authentic to the BBQ shops I have experienced in the USA, especially in terms of the furnishings, the menu and the open kitchen. And the service is really great, friendly and fast. We were a larger group and so we had the pleasure of trying different side dishes and main dishes. Of course it's a matter of taste here, because not everything was so tasty for me. I really liked the pulled pork or the pork ribs, but the chicken and turkey breast weren't really my thing. It's also a shame that there is only bottled beer. Next time I'll at least know what I'm ordering, so the food sharing wasn't so bad.

Recommended tender beef and pork ribs, affordable prices

Mohamad, our Uber driver, delivered. Unfortunately, the food did not. Beef brisket was overcooked (?) and therefore dry, also not tender at all. Mayonnaise helped (shouldn’t have to tho). Fries were good, we loved the pickle and y’all weren’t stingy with the mayonnaise which we appreciated.

“Hello, I was there yesterday and we had a reservation for 6 p.m. We were served by a young man who had a strong smell of alcohol! We ordered a platter for two people. The food was disappointing.”

Best food & dining experience in town! Try the Reuben sandwhich on Fridays.

It was mega Very nice staff And the food is really tasty too... When I'm back in Frankfurt I'll come by again...

Really good. Enjoyed everything.

We had the most amazing breakfast here in Frankfurt! Sasha provided excellent service—friendly, attentive, and welcoming.

If you like your barbecue meats bone dry then you will love this place. If however you are expecting a perfectly cooked, juicy and well seasoned brisket at €150/kilo or veal ribs at €210/kilo that melt in the mouth then you will be sorely disappointed. The meats are average at best but at these prices nothing less than perfect is acceptable. It’s a hipsters paradise with lots of front but no real substance.

A BBQ experience in a class of its own! 💯 Chicago Williams is an absolute must for anyone who loves authentic American BBQ. As soon as you enter, you are gripped by the unique, hip ambience. We were welcomed with a delicious corn soup on the house. We were a larger group and had the opportunity to sample the menu. Every single course was great! The meat quality is simply top. The spare ribs, the pastrami and the “mash and gravy” were particularly impressive. Yes, the prices are a little higher, but justified given the top quality. The selection of drinks also leaves nothing to be desired. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening and we felt completely at home. All in all, a wonderful evening at Chicago Williams BBQ – we’ll definitely be back! Reservation recommended. For larger groups, ask for the Jägermeister table. 😉

Pastrami is great, brisket is awesome, you don't really need pulled pork. Pork ribs delicious

Praise to the waiter, the cook and the bartender: Thank you for the unforgettable evening 💪🏽💯 Brilliant experience. It's not just a restaurant but an authentic experience. Great service that lightened the mood and had great entertainment. Great concept, extremely tasty food and great drinks. We were a large group and had everything we needed; Enough and delicious food, really great service and great drinks accompaniment. Highly recommended.

Yeah, our first visit here ever and my first BBQ in ages (most recently Babb Brothers BBQ Dallas Texas). The food was delicious, everything was great, everything was good. I was generally just missing a snap for the ultimate food kick! Service a bit confused, but friendly and nice and on the ball! The restaurant and the associated hotel are beautifully furnished, very, very clean and soooo cozy! The prices are okay! It's not cheap, but a good BBQ costs a lot of money in the USA. And if you have no idea, please don't whine. You are not here at BK. In Germany, food was very cheap for a long time (even if the quality was never good), but that is long gone now. You have to see what eggs or sugar cost in the USA. Regardless, I really liked Chicago Williams; We would love to come back. Favorites there: Philly cheese steak sandwich and the corn soup 👍👍👍👍👍

Ordered via Uber Eats. You can expect great food, but really extremely expensive. coleshaw and and pulled pork. A pot of coleshaw, less than a coffee cup. The photos speak for themselves; We really ordered everything we wanted. 120 euros. In my opinion, price/performance is extremely excessive... Yes, shocking, really! Burger disappears under a woman's hand. Coleshaw size is espresso spoon size;ö. Price/performance not given.

The Manhattan Highball is super delicious!

Too expensive! Deceptive dishes. They gave us what was a dish for two for 5 people and we were hungry and each of the group paid €50

Quaint atmosphere, friendly service not necessarily cheap. An unusual concept but the food is delicious.

Really awesome breakfast Five stars for Sascha and Julian A buffet that leaves nothing to be desired Cool design Cappuccino wonderful Baked oats: a revelation

everything perfect! food was very tasty. What should be particularly highlighted is the incredibly attentive and great service, rarely experienced like this!

The shop is really well done, the food was good, but unfortunately presented rather carelessly and the portions were quite small for a lot of money. It wasn't really warm either

Always nice, I've been going here for a long time and always enjoy it!

Great BBQ shop if you're in the mood for something hearty.

Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt, Ambiente passt gut zum Laden. Komme wieder!

Super fresh, delicious food/meat and great ambience, top service - super friendly 👍

Really good American style bbq place. Their corn bread was also a highlight.

The Staff at this pub / Restaurant is super super friendly….

Das WAR unser Stammlokal. Wir waren dort immer sehr zufrieden. Gestern allerdings, hat es ewig gedauert, bis unsere Bestellung kam. Dann war das Essen sehr trocken und dunkel. Wir mussten sogar etwas zurück geben, weil es ungenießbar war. Außerdem ist uns aufgefallen, das seid neustem ständig Lieferdienstfahrer ein und aus gingen. Die Küche kam mit den Bestellung gar nicht hinter her. War leider sehr enttäuschend.

Was very tasty and nice service. Gladly again 👍

Was very tasty. The beef strips were a hit. Mac n cheese is also great, in combination with a philly cheese steak sandwich a bit of cheese but can there ever be too much cheese? :-D and the baked beans, oh man, so good. The NY cheesecake was also great. So simply put, food is simply wonderful. Service was super nice, maybe a little slow here and there but not bad. Ambience also suitable for the location, unfortunately the chairs and benches have no cushions, some people may find it a bit too hard and uncomfortable. All in all a great evening!

Einfach nur Top. Die Qualität der Produkte schmeckt man hervorragend heraus .

Came here because Chicago and bbq are my two favorite things. I ordered the brisket sandwich with cheese and fries and the mullet wine uppercut slushee. Both were delicious. I never had brisket with cheese. It was good but i definitely perfer without. Sasha and Ferun provided great recommendations on food. Victor made the best drinks. Highly recommended if you're in Frankfurt.

The food is fantastic! Juicy brisket, super tasty pork ribs and the turkey was excellent. The quality of the meat alone is worth the price! Super!

Always absolutely satisfied!! Food top & service also top. Easygoing, professional staff. The perfect place to go if you want to spend a nice evening.

Delicious and they play good music!

Super nice evening at Chicago Willems, we come all the way from Marburg, the food is super tasty, the service is very attentive, we like the relaxed atmosphere, we've been there several times. We combine it with an overnight stay at the Gekko House, the rooms are great, nothing is missing. Real recommendation!!!

Were there today. The food was very good and eaten so quickly that I couldn't even take a photo

Zu Beginn, war noch kein Tisch für uns frei, dann gab es erstmal eine Corn Soup aufs Haus, was wir wirklich als super empfunden haben & durften zum warten noch noch Platz an der Theke nehmen. Am Tisch angekommen wurden wir von einer super lieben Kellnerin bedient, das Essen kam sehr schnell & das Fleisch war geschmacklich sowie qualitativ hervorragend, ebenfalls die Beilagen waren super lecker. Die Portionen waren auch wirklich groß. Wir waren sehr begeistert vom Brisket & dem Pulled Pork. Dessert war auch sehr empfehlenswert. Ingesamt war es ein gelungener Abend, mit fairem Preis & top Service. Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

Mega tasty, great meat. Service very attentive. New favorite store

Tolles BBQ, super Atmosphäre, Service unaufdringlich aber präsent. Absolut empfehlenswert

There were four of us here and we had the meat platter or two platters. The brisket was very tender and tasty. The chicken was also great and so were the ribs. We would come to test the pastrami sandwich.

Kann nichts schlechtes zu unserem Erlebnis erzählen. Service Essen waren Herausragend

First the good then the bad The mac 'n cheese was good as I was used to We chose the beef brisket because it is usually very juicy, unfortunately it wasn't the case in this case the meat was very cold when it arrived and unfortunately it wasn't very tasty. I was rarely disappointed with meat but today I was broken by this cold, not juicy piece of meat at the first bite I thought that my mouth was drying out because of the piece of meat, it was a bad moment for me, the meat juice was missing for me and my colleague who was also visibly disappointed that he had paid 36 euros for it cold dry We paid for a piece of meat. I don't know why we were punished so much. Unfortunately I couldn't eat it. Thank you

It was okay, the portions were plentiful. But unfortunately the food was very overpriced and you had to pay extra for all the side dishes and ketchup etc

Service was friendly and efficient. The vibe inside is quite hip, and the food was so delicious. From the welcome sip of corn soup, to the brisket tacos, to the pastrami sandwiches (exclusively on Friday), everything was so delicious. Oh and the drink specials were fantastic and flavorful. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re nearby (or even if you aren’t—it’s that good).

So first of all, the service staff and the ambience have nothing to do with the rating. Very good on both counts. BUT THE FOOD? Wtf? Ordered pork ribs & beef brisket. The presentation, absolute 0 number. Pure disappointment, how can you deliver food like that? This dry, loveless piece of brisket cost €30, seriously what €30? And I very much doubt that it was 200g... My friend's pork ribs didn't taste good at all either. I ordered an M&C with it, had high hopes, and was disappointed. What those crumbs on top are doing, I have no idea. And this cheese really didn't taste good. I come from the USA so I know the kitchen very well BUT that's really outrageous we paid almost €100. And I have never mourned €100 as much as I did today. I was really looking forward to it but you can't beat it! When I was asked when paying if everything tasted good, I would have liked to have answered that I wasn't paying for that. But this time I said absolutely nothing and just paid. It's a shame that I had such a negative experience... everything looked nice inside and out, but you just can't eat the food... In addition, hours later I received nausea and stomach pain.

Nice music. Good pulled pork and Mac and cheese.

This was my first time here. The service was super friendly. As a welcome there was corn soup with chilli, super tasty. The store has beautiful furnishings. I had ribs and mac & cheese. The food came quickly. The quality of the food was good. I'll definitely come back here again.

Meatplatter's platter was very good and tasty, especially the chicken was so juicy...and the mac & cheese wasn't something that good for a long time...we'll definitely be back

Great store and incredibly nice team that is very friendly and open! Food and drinks arrive quickly and taste great! Biggest recommendation!!

Wir hatten das Beef Brisket, sehr zart und saftig mit würziger Kruste, besser kann man Fleisch nicht zubereiten, als Beilage Mac & Cheese auch sehr lecker.

Food was good, but I wouldn't go there a second time because paying individually is not possible in CW Frankfurt. The owner insists that you pay per table and you then have to arrange privately with your friends who pays what. Complete madness!!! I hope this thing closes soon

Super lecker, aber zu kleine Portionen für den Preis. Nachbestellen ist hier Pflicht

One of the best restaurants in Frankfurt! Great food, friendly staff, and cool music!

Good meat, nice service. A little slow service, could be faster. The price is a bit too high. But for good meat in the upper frame it's still OK.

Very friendly service and super tasty. The ambience takes you somewhere else and you forget for a brief moment that you are in Frankfurt.

Very nice place and people, you shoud try pork Ribs BBQ

Terrible staff and food. Overpriced. Reception women Steffi H was extremely rude and unhelpful despite the fact it was her system at fault. She did not even try to help or accommodate and was condescending. She tried to hide the itemised bill from me and not show me the breakdown of the food items. As someone who lived in the USA for 1 year, i can certainly say that the Food was very bad and overpriced. Would never eat there again and not recommend. Better to starve or eat from the trash can. Steffi H should be fired and maybe the restaurant will improve its service score.

After all the good things we've heard about Chicago Williams, we had to see for ourselves yesterday. We were greeted with a delicious corn soup that was really tasty. Since our table wasn't ready yet, the soup came in handy. The ambience in the store is really great, and the interior is also very attractive. Chairs are comfortable and the tables really nice. We received great service the entire time and felt really comfortable. But now to the important thing: the food! I have to say that the meat options were really outstanding across the board. We especially liked the beef briskets and ribs. The chicken wasn't dry, as initially thought, but rather delicious and juicy. Another recommendation is the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, which was very cheesy but really tasted divine. The brioche bun in particular fits perfectly here. I found the siders (mac & cheese and mash & gravy) good, but not outstanding. Maybe the cole slaw salad would have been better with all the meat. But I had hoped for more from the Siders. For dessert there was a cheesecake, which was very heavy but also very tasty. Overall, I have to say that I was really impressed by the food and especially the quality and taste. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is good, and overall almost everything is right. I think the price is still very high, especially when you look at the portions, which is of course absolutely due to the quality. However, I think you could go a little deeper here (especially with the briskets and the platter). Otherwise, especially for meat lovers, a real must in Frankfurt!

Terrible personal y comida. Sobreprecio. Steffi H fue extremadamente grosera y poco servicial a pesar del hecho de que era su sistema el culpable. Ella ni siquiera trató de ayudar o acomodar y era condescendiente. Intentó ocultarme la factura detallada y no mostrarme el desglose de los artículos. Como alguien que vivió en los EE.UU. durante 1 año, sin duda puedo decir que la comida era muy malo y caro. Nunca volvería a comer allí de nuevo y no recomendaría. Mejor morir de hambre o comer del bote de basura. Steffi H debe ser despedido y tal vez el restaurante mejore su puntuación.

Our group of 18 people were all very satisfied. Staff very friendly, were allowed in 30 minutes before opening time and were already given drinks. The food was really top. No matter what was on the table, everything tasted very, very tasty. There was really nothing to complain about.

Delicious delicious delicious!!!

Unser Kellner war ein Schätzchen. So toll! Auch das Essen war super. Die Musik war etwas laut und preislich finde ich es teilweise etwas teuer (beispielweise Getränke, dips und Rindfleisch). Trotzdem ein toller Abend gewesen. ❤️

I tried the fried chicken sandwich at Chicago Williams, but unfortunately it wasn't completely convincing. While the chicken in the sandwich was juicy, it lacked the desired crispiness – a crucial element essential to really good fried chicken. In terms of taste, the sandwich was also rather average and didn't leave a lasting impression. Unfortunately, the coleslaw that was served with it didn't score either. It tasted quite unspectacular and could just as easily have been ready-made coleslaw from the supermarket. Overall, the food didn't quite meet my expectations for the restaurant.

We were there relatively spontaneously on a Thursday evening. And luckily we made a reservation a few hours in advance because the place was full! Right at the beginning you are given a small bowl of hot corn and jalapeño soup and brought to your seat. Our waiter was new and didn't know his way around very well, but he was super attentive and tried hard. We decided against a ready-made platter for two and instead each ordered the smaller portion of ribs, brisket and the BBQ chicken. Unfortunately, this was all served individually on plates, so we had to transfer everything onto a plate at the table to have enough space. I would have wished it differently. The food itself was absolutely delicious - everything cooked perfectly, incredibly aromatic and seasoned to perfection, good quantities. Top! Two small points of criticism: I really liked the music selection (hip hop from the 90s and 2000s) and fit the location perfectly, but it was clearly too loud. You almost had to shout at each other to understand each other. And I find the selection of non-alcoholic drinks a bit small and boring and the drink sizes too small - with such spicy food you're more thirsty. But we'll definitely be back. :-)

The food and service was really great. There was just a little too little lighting for me.

Delicious food, friendly, courteous service

We went to Chicago Williams BBQ with a larger group and absolutely loved it! The food was great - from the juicy ribs to the incredibly tender pulled pork and the brilliant side dishes, everything was great. The service was outstanding, the team was attentive and friendly and implemented our wishes perfectly. Perfect atmosphere for a great evening! Absolutely recommended, we will definitely come back!

Children are kidding, portions are small and prices don't match the quality, food is totally salty, you can drink 2 liters of water afterwards

World class food and fantastic service. Volumes! Just as!

The store is highly recommended! Very good meat. We were particularly impressed with the taste. Really friendly staff. Extra point for the large open kitchen. We'd love to come back

Conclusion: Too expensive for the quality delivered, very manageable menu and the service didn't have its best day. In the last few weeks I have tested at Guller, Little Suzi and now, following Bernd Zehner's recommendation, Chicago Williams. Apart from the short ribs, which I was looking forward to and which they forgot to take off the menu, the quality of the food was OK but at other places you can get better quality for lower prices. Therefore rather disappointed. The fact that the service forgot the main course and a drink didn't make it any better.

Very cool, great food! I'm there almost every week 😂😂

Super nettes Personal und extrem Leckeres Essen. Jeder der BBQ mag muss hierhin

Unfortunately very unfriendly staff.

The serive was good, with the staff explaining the right portion for 4. We had meat platter which consists of pork, chicken, and beef. What I love the most is their mac & cheese. The pork ribs were so tender and the sauce was delicious. It made us go back the 2nd time just to have their pork ribs and mac & cheese.

It was our first time at CWBBQ and we loved it. The food was excellent and the service was sensational. We'll definitely be back!

Is a different concept of food.Probably they have local customers that like it food and ambience.Its a local BBQ spot.

Super delicious food in a cool atmosphere. I would love to come back. Only recommended...

The service was attentive, friendly and funny (5 stars for Sascha). Food: Ribs are served on a kind of applesauce, but that's not on the menu. The BBQ chicken came with a white, vinegary sauce, which is also not on the menu. The salads and side dishes are outrageously small for €6.5. The wine (150ml) for €8.5 was very expensive. Of course the prices are on the menu, if it's too expensive for you, you shouldn't go. But the larger side dishes and salads are really cheeky. After I complained about the taste of the gravy when paying, I wasn't charged for the side dish. The ribs and BBQ chicken tasted good. The food was good but expensive. We've had enough. But the taste was nothing special. I wouldn't go there again.

Pork ribs are very tender and good, but the marinade is too sweet, especially with the applesauce The beef brisket, on the other hand, is perfect. I can highly recommend this Ambiance doesn't invite you to linger for long. The prices are rather high but understandable for the quality of the meat

I was there last week, unfortunately there are no good reviews! The restaurant wasn't that clean, the food wasn't ok, not fresh, cold and so few portions. Quality, price, very bad! Expensive and small portion! Not recommended at all!

Das Ambiente passt perfekt zum Essen und es herrscht eine angenehme Stimmung im Restaurant. Das Essen ist sehr gut ebenfalls auch der Service.

ENGLISH: Hands down the best BBQ restaurant in Frankfurt! The pastrami and steak were delicious, and the staff was friendly. Plus, it isn't expensive. 5 out of 5! GERMAN: Hands down the best BBQ restaurant in Frankfurt! The pastrami and steak were delicious and the staff was friendly. Plus it's not expensive. 5 out of 5!

Nicely decorated but people please make the meat portions bigger. This is not otherwise American style. Anyone who has ever been over there knows that 😀

Hello, We were here today for a double date. Unfortunately the food was way too expensive and the food tasted too much like BBQ.

Karte nur mit QR Code und Handy :-( Whiskey nur in ganzen Flaschen?

Das Personal war Top, Essen wurde so schnell wie möglich zubereitet 🤤 aber als für die Preise Mein Gott 🤕

Went there 7 times because of the Veal Ribs that were on the menu and each time they weren't available. Finally take them off the menu if they don't even exist!!

The food is good, although expensive. Half a chicken with fries and two beers for €30 is quite an announcement, but it seems to be normal for Frankfurt conditions. The atmosphere is pretty cool. The waitresses could be a little more attentive, but that's okay. Bottom line, recommended.

The people were very nice and the food was very good. I think the price is a bit at the upper limit for Germany

Wir waren mit 7 Personen dort und hatten von Anfang an einen top Service. Das ist ist super lecker und das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist gut.

Meat is great, unfortunately the house BBQ sauce is too sour for my taste and drowns the well-smoked meat with its intense taste. I don't need the applesauce under the ribs. The fries are ok but here, too, less seasoning would be more. The service was good, but not spectacular either. Basically recommended, as tastes are different. Spare ribs, pulled pork and fries were eaten.
