| - Best place in Champaign-Urbana to sit down, relax, and enjoy a great meal. Food is top-notch. I've tried the pulled pork, the ribs, the catfish, and their shrimp po' boy and will vouch for them all personally. The cornbread is moist and has some fun little bits of meat and beans in. I like to order the fries and slaw as sides -- people always come for the barbecue (and rightly so), but I think their fries are also the best in town. On top of everything, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back. A must-visit if you are in the area, and worth the wait that you will almost certainly endure (even in the bitter cold of an Illinois winter).
One note: they've recently switched their default sauce from the somewhat-spicy Carolina Red to a milder, liquid sauce. I have no complaints about the new one, but I prefer the Carolina Red, and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a serious to near-fatal aversion to spicy food.
