I might sound biased but I'm from out of town and i think this is the best BBQ joint in Illinois.They have great beef,pork & chicken but there homemade sauce is what makes this place.We stopped here before the football game on a sunday. I ordered there special a 1/2 chicken and large soda. This comes with fries,2 slices of bread & your choice of BBQ sauce(mild,mix,hot,Xtra hot). I also got a beef sandwich with mix BBQ sauce. Its nice seeing the fire pit right up front and see al the meat being smoked.I have had the extra hot sauce many times and sometimes its so hot it'll bring me to tears.Looking at this place it looks a little dumpy,but don't judge it by appearance.This place is located only a mile off interstate I-57 so its easy access to get too. If you want real good BBQ at a fair price this is the place,because i know BBQ.
