“I've been to several smokehouse around Illinois. I've always said none of them compare to southern style smokehouse throughout Oklahoma and Texas as well as a few other states... today I was proven wrong. Those Ranch beans are absolutely delicious.... the chili with brisket is amazing.... the cornbread? the best...you have to try this place!“

“I saw this place while walking around campus and decided to come because my brother had never tried duck before. You order at a kiosk and then wait for your food. The staff was really friendly and happy to answer all our questions. I got the rice porridge soup with shrimp and it was 10/10. The duck was also amazing, they chop it up right in front of you so you can watch and it was so flavorful and chewy. The cucumber salad was fresh and spicy to help balance the richness of the duck. My brother got chicken wings which were simple but still good for anyone who is not into duck. Seating is limited, about 20 spots inside but I would definitely come back.“

“I have always liked lil Porgys. The meal served to me today was exceptional and the service was great. I feel like there was a small change maybe recently because it was over the top today. I had chicken and ribs.“

“Customer service is above and beyond. Super friendly and helpful staff. Our server Fruia (?) went as far as going with me outside in the snow to assist me with parking. The manager also showed me the proper way to eat soup steamed dumplings. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced.“

“It was great service!!! The guy who waited on us was wonderful!!!“

“The food was delicious once we received what we all ordered. We had a good time and joked about our friend getting an impromptu ice bath challenge when the waiter dumped ice water in his lap.
Unfortunately, the app will only let you reserve for up to 6 people ahead of time. So, our group of 8 had to call ahead to be put on the waitlist. It's not a huge deal. It wasn't that big of a deal, just something to be aware of.
As for parking- a semi or RV can not park there. The parking lot was just too small to fit a large vehicle like that.“

“The green beans are outta this world good“

“Very friendly staff, was able to accommodate a large group and the food was fresh and very reasonable priced.Our large group was served very quickly.“

“Smoked pulled pork was good! service and establishment did not care that they made 1/2 our order incorrectly, despite being entered by the server correctly. unfortunately I had to ask to not pay for the wrong food. we waited 30 minutes for chips and cheese, but got it within 3 minutes after mentioning it to them again and seeing a table that arrived after us receive a fried appetizer before us....no apologies or care. sad to see.“

“I had a long day today and busy so I was exhausted I placed my order ovet the phone this evening and the young lady was very nice and do when I went inside to pick up the same young lady gave me my order and was very friendly and nice her customer service was great and appreciated got home food was just as awesome. although the young lady is just doing her job kindness goes a long way and u never know what someone is going through i just wanted to recognize her for helping me have a better evening“

“Delicious food with A+++ service. We ordered the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbop and the Fried Rice with Beef Bulgogi & Kimchi - both were wonderful. They provided 4 fresh, delicious sides: broccoli that was crisp with a mild peppery garlic flavor, the best potato salad I've eaten (was whipped and little sweet with just the right amount of mayo), a cold cucumber salad that's so fresh, and crunchy raddish marinated in a sweet beet juice. Perfection! We also couldn't pass up on the seafood pancake which is divine there. Shin provided top notch service helping us make decisions, encouraged adding their homemade (so yummy) hot sauce to my bibimbop, and she was so friendly too! We can't wait to return!“

“Catered our wedding 100+ people and was impressed. Our catering experience was fantastic. Everyone had great things to say about the food. The staff was great, professional, and was in and out with no mess. Very impressed they took all the trash with them. They were aware and cautious with the food allergies. Appreciate everything!“
