- Why in heavens name would you walk into this place if you don't eat beef or pork!! This place has the best BBQ you will find in Chicago. Hands down the best brisket in the Midwest!!
- Suburban FoodieDecember 6, 2013I loved every bite of my bbq ribs and chicken wings. I can taste the smokiness of it hence the name. Definitely try their wings, their brisket burger and fried mac & cheese bites!!
- Thom BFebruary 7, 2014Brisket that rivals the best in Texas. Great selection of sauce and a snappy dry rub. The pulled pork was excellent. Just the right amount of smoke. Sausage links are spicy and delicious. Get in here
- Pulled pork sandwich was delicious, and the Butlers Steamboat BBQ sauce was really flavorful. I wish the ordering counter wasn't hidden in the back behind the pop machine though.
- JohnNovember 18, 2016the pulled pork was very good, the brisket was decent, but I'm picky about my brisket...small hole in the wall type place, we are in, but they did brisk carryout business
- Lisa Wallace-KeithSeptember 3, 2013Rough place if you don't eat beef or pork. No chicken or fish options unless you love everything deep fried to death. Great BBQ sauce selection, tho.
- Love the burnt ends! Also, pretty much everything else. Doesn't look like much, but it is excellent BBQ
- The brisket is probably the best you'll get in the Chicago area, but the wings and chili are excellent as well!
- Robb RobinsSeptember 15, 2014This place is amazing! Loved their River Bender Burger. Combo hamburger party and pulled pork. Mmm.
- Karen KAugust 31, 2013Delicious BBQ with 4 sauces - brisket and pork. Cornbread was moist and perfectly slightly sweet.
- DJ ELI EliDecember 8, 2013Great place and great good. Staff is soo nice they gave my son a root beer float for free.
- K.C. GulbroJanuary 15, 2013Still tinkering w/ there menu. Guy shared some insures. Said to try rib tips. Awesome. Love the xxx spicy sauce.
- Zach MuehlfeltMay 19, 2013Gotta try the chicken wings. I recommend trying multiple sauce and rub combos, top it off with a salt and pepper fresh cut fry and your set.
- K.C. GulbroJanuary 15, 2013Ok. Fries are nice and spicy. Perfect sauce for em is the Carolina mustard. Ohhh baby. Flavor heaven.
- Pulled pork is the best item on the menu. If they aren't out of it.
