Jake SmithJune 30, 2013The pulled pork sandwich has large hunks of freshly-pulled meat on the oversized bun, but the sauce here too sweet (almost a Dr. Pepper flavor). Sit on the back patio if the weather is nice.
You simply can't go wrong here. The food is amazing. All of it. And if you're planning a party here - the staff is so friendly and accommodating.
Jeff WeinsteinApril 6, 2013Go big: chicken wings with extra hot sauce, ribs, and a whole chicken. Don't be afraid to use many sauces. Potato salad. Maybe skip the pulled pork.
RebeccaDecember 20, 2013BBQ pulled pork, a must and their homemade chips. Yum.... Also CASH only. Dine in or carry out.
Richard RushingJune 1, 2013Try the Pulled Pork - Great BBQ. It will fill you up. BBQ chips are awesome.
Love this place. Great bbq chicken and some solid burgers. Also smells like a dream inside.
Nauman NoorJuly 13, 2013Beef brisket lacks the salt treatment though the BBQ chicken is juicy and tender
Elizabeth TowleMay 17, 2011The smoked chicken is my favorite but always order a side of cornbread. Bring your cash!
KateMarch 20, 2010Who knew a BBQ place would have such amazing salads? Try the BBQ Chicken Salad so you still get a taste of their delicious sauce
Best kept BBQ secret in the city! Get the tater tots!
Absolutely delicious bbq and always fast service. They are cash only though!

"The chicken salad is awesome! Smokey flavor. Absolutely fantastic."
Doug Kettler - 7.7
"This is downstairs by our Chicago office & is a super option for lunch. Brisket (in between) platter with beans (‘stead of slaw), pickles and cornbread won’t steer you wrong. KC sauce has a nice spice"
Paddy - 7.8
"Pretty good spot for BBQ in Chicago. Rib tips were meaty and tender, and came swimming in sauce, of which I preferred the spicy (it isn't, but it's better than the mild). Chicken also popular here."
