Amazing food, service, people. Seriously go if you have a chance, the burnt ends are my favorite!

My family went here today after an event at Great Lakes Naval Station. My wife had been there before, but the rest of us had not. I love genuine slow cooked barbecue and all the fixins. The food was on point! We got a combo dinner with burnt ends and the pulled chicken, collard greens, mac-n-cheese, the catfish dinner with collard greens and mac-n-cheese with bbq meat in it, and a side of fries. All of the food was delicious and the meats were barbecued right. There are a number of different sauces to try on the table and they did not disappoint. I have eaten barbecue all over the country - the Carolinas, Kansas City, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, and more, and this place was among the best I’ve eaten. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to try barbecue.

We traveled from Dallas to Chicago to visit family. They drove almost 2 hours to get to this delicious establishment. The food is great! We ordered a little of everything. Literally. They were out of Rib Tips which simply tells me that they are great too. You must order the Burnt Ends, Smoked Sausage, Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes, Baked Beans and the Pound Cake. I didn't eat anything bad but the above listed items are worth flying back for. Now simply because I am Texas Born and Bred..... Texas is still king of the BRISKET GAME!!!! ♥️
