I grew up on Coleman's , My Aunts and Uncles grew up with the first generation of Coleman's from Arkansas. The food has aslways been good, their sauce is the bomb. Off the chain. However,the prices are ridiculous, even though the Economy is the worst its ever been. Example of what Im talking about. Back in the day-- A Large Tip was around $7.00, the tray was so full that You could not eat it all in one sitting, now the price is $11.00 for a Large Tip, however the portions are 3x decreaesd, because now a Large Tip is in a small bowl. what Im saying is the prices are going up, the portiona are getting smaller. Me and my then Boyfriend aka "Rob Base" used to eat A Large Tip and Chicken wings every Friday, may he Rest In Peace, now a days I may eat a Large Tip only once every four to Five months, which wont even feed me and a three year old. Also what i find very Appalling & Offensive is that, Coleman's is one of a few BarBeCue Joints on the West Side that R good to eat, but the prices continue to go up, the Service is Garbage and a lot of the women are impatient and have attitudes. My 12-year Loves Coleman's chicken, and she goes to private school just 2 blocks away, I often lie and make excuses because I dont really like spending my money therea are much because of the above. I hope they get batter because Im considering jut buying some sauce and babrcuing myself or just completely cutting them off and traveling elswhere to such places as Ferdines, And me & my family loves chicken, I LOVE Rib Tips.

I grew up on colman's it's always been very enjoyable to eat. I moved to ks and couldn't find a b-que place like colmans, so I always drive back to eat there from time to time and it is still great. Yes it's in the hood but thats where you find some of your best soul food and b-que restaurants at. Some of the workers don't have very good manners but it's cool I'm there for the food.

The food here is always good, and worth traveling for. One of the few places where you can call in your order and actually have it be ready when you get there.

This is definitely a hood reastuarant !!! Although the food is good,especially the bbq chicken wings,rib tips and bbq fries. However, the surrounding neighborhood is "crack head " central.. There isn't a parking lot,parking is on the busy street.It's not a sit down restaurant. But on the weekends; the place is always crowded. The better location to patronize is the Bellwood, IL. location on Bellwood Ave.
