This place is a gem. I was in town visiting a friend who suggested we get bbq. I live in Chicago and love all types of bbq, but only if done right.
It's clean and everyone is very friendly! I started with an Old Fashioned. My friend stuck to sodas. They have a decent selection of whiskey and beer. Definitely a great watering hole.
I wanted to try a little of everything so I ordered the 4 meat platter. Wings, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. I figured I'd take home what I couldn't finish. (Spoiler alert: there was nothing left to take home).
The weakest meat on my platter was the brisket. It was really good but I like mine much more moist. It was still really good. I would put some sauce on it next time.
Next were the ribs. Home run. Really great flavor and done perfectly. I'd pull off the highway for them ;). Great rub and beautiful color. Not over cooked and so tender.
Next the wings. I'm a wing fanatic and I've only found one place that had bbq-smoked wings that were good but not a home run. This place rocked them!
If the ribs were a home run then the wings were a grand slam. I'm sorry I didn't get an order to go. There only three on the platter which is perfect. Really meaty large wings with a sweeter flavor and just so damn perfect.
Finally the pulled pork was the best of the night for me. Flavor, moist and did I say flavor!!!
I can't believe it's three hours away for me. I'd be here all the time for the people, drinks and eats.
This place rocks!
