Founded in 2018 by Gus Rickette, Jr., alongside partners Tracey Rickette and Jeff Estes, Rickette’s World Famous was built on a passion for authentic Chicago barbecue, soulful comfort food, and genuine hospitality. What began as a vision to create something truly “World Famous” has grown into a local favorite known for bold flavors, warm service, and unforgettable meals.
Our barbecue is prepared the old-school way, slow-cooked over an open flame and seasoned with a signature blend that delivers a rich, smoky flavor in every bite. From award-winning wings to homemade soul food sides, every dish is made fresh and served with care. At Rickette’s World Famous, we believe great food brings people together, and every guest who walks through our doors is treated like family. As Gus Rickette says best: “We Good.”
