I came in here for a quick bite before my son's game. I was instantly greeted with a warm smile from Chuck the owner. You could tell right away he believed in his product, offering up a small sample right from the gecko for us to try. It didn't stop there, Chuck began to share his vision and passion for his restaurant and the food he gets to make everyday. There was a sense that he was at home and I felt like I was sitting there sharing in that feeling with him. Then the first bite came, there was a great bark on my first trial rib. Encrusted, but not dry...tender and juicy meat underneath. It was perfection, so of course I had to get more. I grabbed his 4 rib section along with a piece of his corn bread and coleslaw. The cornbread was generous and had that rich buttery corn taste you absolutely want when ordering this bread. He had stated, I would love his coleslaw and I absolutely did. Perfectly blended, sweet and tangy with a hint of pepper. Absolutely lovely. What also was lovely, was Chuck's passion for his business and the love he puts into his food and his eagerness to send you home happy. Well that definitely happened. Thanks Chuck, can't wait to come back for another exceptional meal. If you want really good bbq and the highest level of hospitality. Come to I BBQ 4 U, you will not be disappointed.

Randomly stumbled upon this gem during a quick stop in the US while traveling from Canada, guided by strong online reviews. It turned out to be one of the best barbecue spots I’ve ever visited. The ribs were outstanding, and every side—from coleslaw and potatoes to macaroni was equally incredible. The owner’s son was incredibly friendly, chatting with us throughout our visit and even treating us to samples of brisket, beans, and more. These thoughtful touches elevated the entire experience. We enjoyed great conversations on all sorts of topics. If you’re hesitating, go for it—you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in the USA.

If you’re a meat eater… I kid you not — these are by far the best BBQ ribs, both pork and beef, I’ve ever tried. The beauty isn’t just in how incredible the meat was; I also have to comment on the outstanding customer service we received. Chuck, the owner, and his son Phill (who served us) were absolutely amazing human beings. We had a fantastic time enjoying the food and an even better chat with Chuck! Cheers and all the very best to you both. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Quick and tasty filling meal for my lunch break. A little pricey, but that is expected with bbq, so I did not mind. Called in a phone order and it was ready within 20- 30 minutes. Despite the lackluster photo, the food was excellent. I wish the sauce on my sandwich was not missed and that I got the right meat (there’s a price different) as I double checked on the phone and in person when paying. Didn’t feel the need to open and check myself after I was reassured, but it definitely would’ve been better if my order was correct.

I could not gather adequate enough words to describe what a transcendent experience it was. You know how in the movies, often the lead character would have a favorite barbecue joint to go to. And that joint is in some inconspicuous corner, but with the most delicious flavor? And the owner of the joint is often a unique character who says critical lines to inspire Epiphany and move the plot forward? It felt like that. After knowing it was my first time coming to the store, they insisted that I sample a few pieces first. I did and I immediately started over ordering. I even forgot to check the price lol. Yes it was that good. The only thing that is better than the meat is the service. I had such a great time chatting and connecting with the owner and the staff there. You can see how much they love and take pride in what they do. And anyone takes that approach with their craft, has my respect! They are genuine, warm and very, very friendly. The owner gave me a can of Logan berries for free. And my name is Logan! I don’t understand how they are not nationally famous if not worldly famous. Small businesses like this are the backbones of the community and they deserve way more tax cuts and government funding than greedy big corporates. I bought some barbecue from a great store . It sounds exaggerated to say these things, but it is not . I left with my tummy satisfied and heart warmed. Thank you for a wonderfully human experience. The city of Buffalo is lucky to have you guys. Much love and respect! Logan from Canada.

As someone born and raised in Arkansas with plenty of options for bbq, honestly everything was fantastic. Got a couple samplers and a large order of cornbread. Call me a caveman if you want, but there really is something to be said about the simplicity and beauty of a good smoked meat, and man did everything deliver. All of the meat (chicken, brisket, etc) was fall off the bone tender and tasted great. Im not normally a fan of coleslaw, but I noticed this was nice and peppery. Big fan of that, definitely need to order more or this next time, too. Cornbread was also great as well. Suffice to say, definitely gotta order more in the future. Props to everyone on the team, good stuff for sure.

We drove 3 hours to get here! I've been to Texas which is known for their BBQ, I can honestly say, this is the BEST BBQ I have ever had! We had the beef ribs with Mac and cheese and beans! Incredible flavors, just melt in your mouth food! I highly recommend this restaurant and say Hello to Chuck the owner, he gives great hugs!! Love from Canada!!

My coworker and I were driving by yesterday and caught a whiff of this place and immediately said, “Yeah… we need to eat there.” We happened to be working right around the corner today, so we decided to stop in for lunch and I’m beyond glad we did. I got the brisket combo, and hands down, it was the best brisket I’ve ever had. Perfectly smoked, insanely tender, full of flavor, and not dried out at all. You can tell this is the kind of BBQ that takes time, patience, and pride. On top of the amazing food, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even took the time to give us a quick tour of their smoker, which was awesome and really showed how passionate they are about what they do. Between the food, the smell that pulls you in from the street, and the genuine hospitality, this place is the real deal. 5 stars for the experience and 5 stars for the food. I’ll 100% be back and recommending this spot to anyone who loves legit BBQ.
