This place is great. I haven’t had bbq this good since I was a kid in the south. Most places around here miss the mark giving you dry flavorless meat or it’s good but portion size is weak for the price. Not here. I spend 30ish and get a proper plate of juicy tips and seasoned whole wings, chunky fries and hella sides. Service is old school, pop in place your order and wait 30-45, but it’s worth it. Be polite and don’t be a jerk, when you make something this good it takes a minute. Open Monday through Friday so stock up for the weekend. Yeah, it’s that good. Pics: Medium 2 lb Rib Tips and 6pc wings sauce on the side. Both came with fries, cups of Mac/Potato Salad & Coleslaw. Wings had 2 slices of white bread.

First time trying this... I'm from the STL. But this was actually really good. I had the rib/chicken wing combo. Meat was tender, sauce was good. It's 5 stars for me. I recommend However, don't get spicy sauce unless you can stand it. My mouth was on .

The Ribs, Tips, Hot links, are excellent, i get sauce on the side. The Peach Cobbler is the best i ever had. I love Lems in Chicago but this place is the reason why i don’t go back to lems.

There is about a 20 minute wait but the food is outstanding. The ribs are some of the best ribs that I’ve ever had. The owner is a very nice gentleman. I would definitely recommend this place if you enjoy barbecue and smoked food

The chicken wings with mild sauce taste like the ones I grew up on. Their ribs,tips & links are fire. They’re not stingy with the portions and you get your moneys worth. I grew up in Chicago and this place taste better than a lot of the bbq joints.

Great Links! Tasty! The mild BBQ sauce is amazing! The ribs smelled amazing as well! Would give this place a go! You will enjoy! Takes about 15-20 minutes to get food after ordering. They are upfront about that and it came out right on time.
