3 Best Barbecue Restaurants in Chicago, IL

Beautiful restaurant, kind and attentive staff and incredible food. Leave any restrictions at the door - this is the place for comfort food! The pulled pork was perfect and the Mac and cheese was served hot from the oven. The fried tomato’s were good but weren’t my personal style- breaded and deep fried - I’m used to pan fried so if that’s what you’re used to also then you might be a little overwhelmed by the amount of oil. The Bloody Mary bar was very well stocked and well worth it.

Had a great meal here! The house chips and pickles are delicious. We got the hush puppies as an appetizer and the sauce was out of this world. I had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw as my entree. The sandwich was great and came with three different barbecue sauce options. The coleslaw was fine- I prefer mine creamier, but it wasn’t bad. We had carrot cake for dessert which was also really yummy. My drink was fantastic as well.

What a gem! Great spot, happened into a relaxing happy hour and couldn’t be in a better mood leaving. Great food, drinks, and hospitality. Tacos, Mac and cheese, mustard bbq sauce, spicy sauce all great!

A fantastic place and if you’re a meat lover you won’t be disappointed. The concept is different to anywhere I’ve been before - queue up inside until you reach the kitchen area, where they cut the meat of your choosing, lay out on a tray along with sizeable sides of your selection, then grab your plates and sauces and find space on a table to enjoy. There’s seating options both inside and out and there’s plenty of space even when the place is busy. On a Friday night the main queue took almost an hour, but there’s a nice vibe and you wait alongside the central bar, so grabbing a drink to pass time is easy. The drinks menu is huge and the prices good. The staff serving the meat are friendly and helpful, ensuring you get the right amount and pick the best options for what you prefer, but when it comes to adding sides be careful given their size - eyes were certainly bigger than tummies for us! The taste of everything was incredible though - the meat so succulent and juicy, and sides such as the coleslaw creamy. Next time I’m in the city I’ll certainly be returning here and for a more unique evening out I’d highly recommend.

Absolutely the best place I have eaten in Chicago!!! a hidden gem and my boss took me here for lunch while we were touring the city!! I had no idea what I was getting into and they were the best ribs I’ve ever had!! The brisket was incredible and the staff was so inviting and so warm that I felt I was on vacation in Disney World! Bbq at its best in Chi-town!!!

A very very nice place to have BBQ. They have a variety of meat to choose from. At first, I had no idea how to order. The staff there are all welcoming and willing to explain how to order a meal here. Friendly staff!! Good selection of drinks. This place has a very very nice atmosphere!!!!
