Real Urban Barbecue is also the first restaurant to bring the delicacy of perfectly charred, caramelized burnt ends to Chicago, and now Oak Brook. Top it all off with RUB’s homemade, signature sauces, and pair with comfort sides like mac & cheese, sweet potato soufflé and golden corn bake.  Sandwiches and fresh salads are also guest favorites.
Real Urban Barbecue will have a dedicated door for carry-out order pick up, plus counter seating, booths and tables for 75 guests; with an additional space for 60 people available to reserve for private and corporate parties.  In Spring 2015, RUB will unveil their new patio area complete with decorative lighting and music throughout that will seat an additional 60 people.
