Our Story
Sweet Baby Ray’s began in 1982, and a few years laters, we entered
the Mike Royko Ribfest on a dare and captured second place out of
700 in the cook-off. Inspired by winning, we set out to make Sweet
Baby Ray’s a business and our career. Today, Sweet Baby Ray’s
Barbecue Sauce is the third best selling barbecue sauce brand
nationally, and #1 in Chicagoland.
In 2005, based on the success of the Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue
Sauce brand and our years of acquired barbecue expertise, we
expanded into Sweet Baby Ray’s Restaurants and opened our
first unit in Wood Dale. We worked hard to develop a great concept, excellent
menu and outstanding food. Now we welcome you to our newest Sweet Baby
Ray’s Restaurant here in Elk Grove Village.
We are proud to offer some of the finest barbecue anywhere. Our food is
prepared on site under the supervision of Chef Paul Papadopoulos. In addition
to a great list of barbecue mainstays, steaks and seafood, our unique menu offers
family favorites and healthier offerings to add variety and balance to our diets.
Through thoughtful planning and care, our goal is to offer high quality food at fair
prices with the hope and expectation that you will tell your friends and come back soon.
Our guests repeatedly tell us that our appetizers, salads, sides, entrees and housemade
signature desserts, like our barbecue, are superb and delicious. Sweet Baby Ray’s
staff is always working hard to exceed your expectations. We would like you to
relax, enjoy yourself and experience our savory menu and comfortable service.
See why we take such great pride in what we do. If you see us around, please
introduce yourselves or say hello. Let us know if we can do anything to enhance
your experience. Thanks again for stopping in.
