I think the previous reviews were really spot on for this restaurant. We had an excellent dinner there, and it is very close to where we stayed near the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier. The food was tasty, and the service was exceptionally friendly and warm. It's a great combination of a modern, upscale setting with good down home BBQ dishes and some celebrity pics on the walls (and reasonable prices). We had pork ribs and sides which were tasty. Not sure all the hoopla in prior reviews about the Cesar salad is warranted but man oh man, order the cornbread that was amazing!

Very consistent with previous visits. Food has not changed which is a great indicator of quality and ownership understanding their niche and clientelle. Feels like a cafeteria which is fine for carry out. There are ropes and straps leading to the entrance which is offputting especially during non-busy hours. I felt like i was in a TSA line.
The BBQ here was hands down the best I've ever had. We tried the brisket and baby back ribs, and both were absolutely fantastic. Plus, the sides were just as delicious. The coleslaw was fresh and crispy, the fries were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of salt, and the mac cheese was amazing too.
The brisket was nice juicy and flavorful. On the other hand the pulled pork was lacking, tasted a little old. Coleslaw and macaroni and cheese were good. The cornbread needed some butter it was really dry. Book a table now
Definitely one of the best BBQ places in the city. BBQ gumbo is delicious, robs are good, there's a few different sauces to try, the sides are good. Go try it
Food was alright. In the Pat I’ve had better from smoque but still one of my favorite places to go too. Great Mac n cheese and ribs. Brisket is aaahmazing
A very busy place. Good food and atmosphere is electric. Prepare for wait time not only seating but order. Still worth the wait
