At Bill’s Grill, we believe great BBQ is more than just food – it’s a celebration. Since opening our doors in 2014, we’ve been serving Northwest Indiana and the Greater Chicagoland area with bold flavors, quality ingredients, and a dedication to keeping your meals fast, fresh, and satisfying.

Meet Bill – The Man Behind the Grill

Known as “Mr. No Sauce At All,” Bill turned his love for ribs from a hobby into a full-blown passion. A former truck driver and musician, Bill now spends his days smoking brisket, pulling pork, and perfecting the house-made 2AM BBQ sauce.

Meet Jorie – The Flavor Master

Jorie, a former singer, brings her creative flair to the kitchen. What began as a family picnic tradition became a business adventure with her husband in 2014. Her love for blending flavors turned into the signature 2AM sauce, now sold at select Whole Foods Markets in Chicago.
