    I can't say enough about this local family operated business! The food is ridiculously good! I've ordered a couple of times. You can only carry out food and there is quite a section, ribs, brisket, pulled pork, so many sides, and some amazing peach cobbler! All cooked to perfection. You must try the barbecue fries. Their sauce is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy.

    Worst catfish ever!

    All of our meats were over cooked, chicken, rib tips and the catfish was fried so hard that it was rubbery and hard to pull apart. Greens had no flavor, but yams peach cobbler and drinks were good. Very overpriced for the quality and by their attitudes, they probably don't care. No worries, will never go back!

    I've been hearing great things about this place and it's all true. The service was excellent and the food was awesome. #SUPPORTLOCAL

    Horrible, taste like it came out the oven. Drowning in sauce. Wasn't fresh at all. Waste of money.

    Ritchie's Smokin' BBQ - 3 meat (substance) plate. Umm, where's the brisket?

    Ritchie's Smokin' BBQ

    Why do I do it. Why do I continuously bludgeon myself ordering barbecue with only halfway…read moreexpectations so I can make false claims about how good the food is, and have an excuse to fall back on? I got this off of grub dash or whatever delivery service it's called. I really wanted barbecue, but I didn't expect to get mostly unpalatable, stringy meat substances. Before you guys read this & judge me, I do a LOT of smoking. I have some stuff I've smoked, in my profile. I have Backwoods Lil Chubby G2 competition reverse flow water smoker, smoked tons of meat and have been in competitions, so I know my stuff. This isn't my stuff. I ordered the three meat combo, with brisket, pulled pork and chicken. I'm not too sure where the brisket is? Was it that stringy beef meat stuff? I couldn't tell the difference between that or what the pork was supposed to be. The chicken is obvious, and while we're on the topic, the chicken is the only thing that had a distinguished flavor of smoke. As far as the other 2 meats, other than a hint of smoke, bland and flavorless. Meat portion size is insulting. I basically paid $30 for five sides and cornbread. Cornbread is actually really good. The highlight of the whole meal, and the only thing that I actually finished. I can't wholeheartedly say that the mac and cheese is made in house, nor the pasta or potato salad or beans for that matter, but I could be wrong (but I'm pretty sure I'm not, seeing the caliber of this food). I was reserving one star, out of consideration for this place, in case the brisket wasn't as tender as it should be, seeing how I had this delivered 11 miles away, but then again, I don't even know where the brisket was. If you're shredding or chopping your brisket (who does that!?), you need to close your doors, because it's obvious that you don't know how to smoke brisket. Brisket is meant to be sliced, not masked by chopping or shredding, then thrown in a steamer tray. I ate about half of it, and tossed the rest out. Headed to Denny's for another lackluster supper. Obviously the people on here raving about how good this place is, haven't had barbecue outside of famous Dave's, Dickies or some other low end franchise. Very disappointed, and waste of money.

Would come back just for that Banana Pudding: 1/10, Definitely need to find an actual recipe for BBQ (perhaps Texas style) Banana pudding instead of just spooning instant banana pudding with sliced banana and wafers in a cup. I was really disappointed by it, unfortunately. The service was friendly and nice! The dining area, albeit I didn't sit in for dining, seemed a bit sterile. I heard somewhere it's under new management so I'm hoping some things change.

It's worth the drive, as we went to Belvidere from Crystal Lake to try this place out. This is a seasonal restaurant and it was opening weekend. We waited a long winter to try it out! It's located in the middle of nowhere where and definitely gives off country vibes... which is great! Once inside you place you order and pay and find a table to sit inside a large barn turned restaurant. They give you a buzzer, but someone will bring the food to your table. In the warmer months, they provide outdoor seating which is inviting. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich, baked sweet potato and their mac n cheese. I also tried a slice of their cherry pie. The pulled pork came in a generous portion, moist and flavorful. I enjoyed their original BBQ sauce that they also make in house. The sweet potato was good with the butter and brown sugar. Unfortunately, I would not get the Mac n cheese again, not impressed by it. Basically, overcooked noodles, lackluster cheese sauce and already chilled from being placed in a container to serve. My husband had the brisket sandwich and unfortunately said it was a bit over cooked and dry. I shared my pork sandwich with him and he obviously agreed with me that it was very good. We will return for the pork and we want to try their BBQ ribs next time too. Oh! The cherry pie is also made in house and it was pretty good also! Definitely deserving of 4 stars, we will be back!

We started with the Gogi Mandu, which were adorable, but insanely tiny. You can barely fit any filling into it with the size they make it, which is not accepted when they were essentially $1/each. The dipping sauce wasn't tasty either. My guy had the Bibimbap, which was average. They gave small amounts of the veggies and I didn't find it to have much flavor, but my guy enjoyed it. I got Japchae, which is one of my fave Korean dishes. My dish was actually room temp on the right half and piping hot with drier bulgogi on the left half. I ended up sending it back since it had clearly been sitting partially under a heat lamp for a while. They were very nice about the whole ordeal and the manager even came up to apologize, which wasn't necessary, but appreciated. My second Japchae definitely came out hot, but there was a big inconsistency between the amounts that came in the two dishes. The first had a lot more egg and bulgogi with a small amount of veggies. The second was the opposite for each. Pretty weird. I honestly really enjoyed the flavor of my dish and would get it again. They didn't overdue it with the sauce, which is always important for me. However, if this was a place I regularly frequented, I wouldn't be happy with how different the dishes can be.
