I’m happy to write this review and confidently say this is still the best BBQ joint in Chicago. And I don’t say that lightly, I’m from Texas and take my BBQ very seriously. We ordered takeout on a Sunday night, and the dining room was surprisingly busy. The staff asked whether we preferred to wait inside or in our car and even took our vehicle information so they could bring the food out to us. Truly above and beyond. I’m gluten and dairy free, and both the order taker and the manager took this very seriously. They walked through the entire menu with me in detail to make sure I could order safely without compromising my preferences or restrictions. The staff was incredibly accommodating and completely nonjudgmental about my allergies, which, unfortunately, is not always the case. Too often I’m met with eye rolls or uncertainty about ingredients, but that was absolutely not the experience here. The process was quick and seamless. We had our food within 10–15 minutes, and when we got home everything was clearly labeled for allergies. Most importantly, the food was so good. I can’t express how much I love this place. Every visit makes me feel right at home, and I’ll continue coming back without hesitation.

Awesome bbq spot. Great menu with reasonable prices. Definitely recommend getting one of the platters. The Texas Sausage was my favorite. The Brisket and pulled pork was also great. The Mac and cheese and coleslaw were a little bland but the rest made up for it. The sauce selection is great, definitely recommend the spicy Memphis sauce. Will be coming back for more.

I have been here probably 10 times its always been solid. My fav bbq in the city is downtown in Fulton Market. Smoque is a close second. Indoor and outdoor seating, they do a Taco special once in a while that is go to as well. Pro outfit. Easy to walk to from the blue line and or Pulaski bus stop
