This was a cool place to eat in West Loop. You order your food then wait for the pager to go off. After that you just go to one of those communal tables to eat. It was a solid place to eat bbq, not the best one I’ve been to in Illinois but very solid. Customer service was good, no complaints. We ordered pork ribs, sliced brisket, potato salad, banana pudding, sausage, pork belly, and brisket salad. They did have brisket salad on the menu before.
-pork ribs 5/5 - moist and fell off the bone
-sliced brisket 3.5 - could be a little more moist and less salty.
-potato salad 5/5 - very flavorful. I loved all of the components going into it.
-banana pudding 5/5 - delicious. Made you feel like it was homemade.
-pork belly 5/5 - not tough. Easy to cut and good flavor
-sausage 5/5 - savory and good
-brisket salad ⅘ - it was decent.
If you’re a bbq fan, you have to make this spot a priority! The decor and vibe inside was really unique and fun. It feels like a BBQ joint meets a European town. We really enjoyed the brisket, smoked turkey, and LOVED the pulled pork sandwich. I would skip the pickled veggies and the baked beans. They just weren’t my favorite. But highly recommend this fun spot! It seems especially fun for the holidays. The decor was top notch!
I love this smokehouse and would revisit again next time I am in Chicago!
The ambiance is truly remarkable. Naturally, there's often a substantial wait, but you can occupy yourself by enjoying beverages from the bar, including an extensive array of draft beers. 🍻
The smoked brisket is absolutely sensational, boasting an incredibly tender and succulent texture. I'd also suggest trying the well-seasoned pork ribs – they're fantastic!
LOVE! BBQ fantastic. Fav of the whole family. High-end Counter service for food, with plenty of seating indoor and out. Very large bar. You can order drinks @the bar while waiting in line. Line moves quickly-don’t let long line discourage you. Outdoor seating is set in a very beautiful courtyard w/other fantastic restaurants surrounding. Take the time to look around. Leads to very happening area for after dinner exploring if your there in the evening. Large sharing portions of meat and sides. Picnic table seating in an urban brick, small warehouse-type setting. Busy/boisterous.
Loved this place! Everyone is so friendly and food is delicious! We had brisket, pork belly, pastrami and sausage. Potato salad was also very good especially with the scallion kick. They gave us a shot to try of a bbq fat wash(?!) which was interesting, definitely something I haven’t had before. All in all - recommended if you are in West Loop area!
Very good! I got the Jerk Chicken and the macaroni salad. It was pretty decent. The jerk chicken had so much flavor and was super juicy. The macaroni salad however wasn’t my fav. Could have definitely used more seasoning or something. I love the ambiance in there. Very good for a date night or group night out. Will be returning to try other meats for sure.
Located down an 'alleyway' lined with string lights and shared with a tavern this place offers indoor and outdoor seating. The ordering line gets to be quite long and is worth the wait, they will cut and weigh the meat fresh in front of you. Sides are ordered last and are served in front of you as well then you pay for it all and they hand you the food, no additional waiting required. Sauces/utensils/water is all self serve and there is also a full service bar inside (the bar transactions are separate from the food). The meat is so good there is no sauce needed, highly recommend this place!
I didn't have much expectations when coming here, but the menu intrigued me, and being curious, I had to try it out. I was able to order a good amount of items by the 1/4 lb, which was pretty nice. The gentleman told me that the smoked turkey was something that should not be overlooked. I took his word and ordered that, and it was definitely one of the best I've had. I also enjoyed the pork belly and cheddar jalepeno sausage. The watermelon salad was a good palate cleanser. Overall, it's worth trying.
Best bbq in the area! I love the concept and the food is great! The brisket was my favourite by far. Quick tip: You can order as much as you want, no need to have 1 or 1/2 lb so I’ll go with a little bit of everything :)
It’s Crazy! Lol I was absolutely amazed! it’s old rustic, looks like the place is there forever and the atmosphere was crazy!
The place is very busy and they have indoor and outdoor seating, you go to the counter and order whatever you want and they will slice the meat in front of you and the next station you get your sides and pay for it! For Liqor you have to go to the bar in the middle of the restaurant and order separately!
We really enjoyed the meats and sides, everything was very fresh and delicious, the ribs were just okay but everything else was just amazing!
I highly recommend this place just to see the craziness!!
