We sat down and the lady was friendly but never mentioned any specials. The restaurant was pretty empty. Maybe two tables. Two of us wanted brisket and ordered it and she said " the brisket won't be ready till 2pm". I don't understand why she didn't mention that when we sat down and let us know since brisket is one of their big sellers. We were massively disappointed because we went there for that. My mom ordered the drunken chicken which is suppose to have a bacon beer cheese and it had NO CHEESE! It was literally plain with tomato, pickle and lettuce. Super disappointed. I think the waitress messed up and put in a plain chicken. My dad's pulled pork was cold and dry. He did not like it at all. My fiancé said the insanity burger was pretty good but nothing special. We did really enjoy the smoked meatloaf dinner. I loved the meatloaf. It had so much flavor and one of the best tasting I've had. The garlic mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were really good. The bacon green beans had zero bacon flavor. Disappointed especially because their dinners are on average $16 per person and our food was mediocre. The restaurant has really cool decorations and the atmosphere was nice though. I would give them another try at some point but would call ahead to make sure they have brisket.

Not a huge fan of hickory smoking but theirs was not overpowering. Not sure how you can do subtle hickory but they did it. Balanced well by tasty dry rub spices- not too hot or sweet. Ribs did not require sauce and in fact better with rub alone. Yet did sample their wide variety of sauces including NC vinegar spiced splash. Seven different options all good. Pulled chicken amole serving of sufficiently moist meat and the same subtle smoke. Slaw and baked bean sides good combo and balance to the meats but man I wish I'd also gotten the fresh cut fries which are hard to find. Saw many others who seemed to be enjoying theirs. This is a can't miss place and bit of a surprise for northern Illinois compared to the plethora of bbq joints I've visited throughout the South and Midwest.

Got the sampler for a late lunch and shared it among the three of us (we expected to eat light)…read more Was $37. Our sides were sweet potato tots and cole slaw. Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.
