Testimonials
The best Brisket and pulled pork! I've gone to other BBQ restaurants and Sweet Baby Rays is hands down the best, the corn bread is phenomenal, not dry nor crumbly very delicious.

Hands down the best catering! We used SBR for our wedding - the food was incredible. Everyone was so easy to work with & helpful throughout the planning.

I recently worked on a small film production & shot a feature film in the Chicagoland area. Over the course of 6 weeks, I worked with the SBR team at to feed our crew of 50+ people twice daily. Terrific food & wonderful service!
