Sharko's Bbq - Naperville

This is a fantastic BBQ spot with high-quality meat and friendly service.

I absolutely love BBQ! The lean brisket was fantastic, and the cream corn was delicious—so good! This restaurant was small and quite busy. I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary small vanilla ice cream I received when I left. The staff were friendly, and the place was mostly clean. The mac and cheese could use a little improvement, though. I definitely plan to return whenever I get the chance!

This restaurant offers excellent ribs and sausage. The baked beans with extra bacon bits are fantastic. In June 2021, we dined here and had a wonderful experience. As always, the sausage was impressive. In July 2022, we enjoyed the Mac Mama and Mac Doodle dishes. However, during our visit on July 20, 2023, we tried the double whipped potatoes for the first time and were disappointed. They were cold and lacked flavor, which was not what we had anticipated. The rest of our meal met our expectations and was very good. The service here is outstanding, and we definitely plan to return.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The lemonade has a wonderfully bold flavor! The side portions are ample, perfect for enjoying and sharing. Make sure to try the brisket. Overall, I’d rate the food a 5 out of 5!

I ordered sliced brisket, and it was the worst I’ve ever had. It seemed like it had been cooked a long time ago and just reheated, making it tough and rubbery. Additionally, you have to ask for sauce and rolls, which is frustrating. They charge nearly $100 for just a few sides and one pound of meat, which feels like a total rip-off. I can get overcharged anywhere else. Save your time and money; it's not worth it.
