Service was friendly and food was out quick. I got the beef brisket sandwich with mixed sauce. The sauce was mildy sweet and mostly hot, sort of overwhelming. The sandwich bread was mushy from the sauce and honestly the meat had no flavor.

Beef ribs weren't cooked enough for the rub to even set up on them. Super tough. Been eating here for years and never once called to complain. When I called there was no apology or complimentary order for next time. The only thing I was told was to bring them back and they would give me a refund. Being at work, 20 min away, this isn't an option. $15 thrown in the trash but it won't ever happen again.

Really sad to say this place is not what it once was, and I probably won’t be back. I had a serious craving for their rib tips and made a 20 minute drive just to get them. Everybody knows you can’t have Lil Porgy’s rib tips without that signature sauce, so I ordered mine with extra sauce too. Unfortunately, I trusted them and didn’t check the bag before leaving. It was stapled shut and I figured it would be fine. I drove the 20 minutes home, got back, and realized they gave me zero sauce. Nothing at all. The rib tips were completely dry. I called them, let them know I had driven 20 minutes just to get these tips, and they said they would make it right. So I drove another 20 minutes back to the restaurant. After all that, they only handed me the sauce I originally paid for. No apology, and nothing else offered as a courtesy for wasting my time and gas. In total, I spent about 80 minutes driving for rib tips that were cold by the time I finally got to eat them. Really disappointed in the lack of care and customer service.

If you love to eat ribs that are tuff like Shoe leather Full slab of ribs all in the garbage. Stay far away from this place. It must be new owners. Full slab of ribbs over half was all garbage over cooked and burnt hiding with extra sauce.
The sauce isn't that good anymore...YUCK
This must be different owners from the last time we were in. This slab of ribs was to go had the fries underneath the ribs. Li'l Porgy's Bar-B-Q - Champaign. I am glad that I didn't leave a tip.

Fries were grease logged and inedible. Brisket was shaved and dried out, rib tips okay but several burnt and tough. Disappointing.

So what has happened here? Where’s the bbq? Where’s the smoke? The brisket reminds me of sliced frozen steak from freezer section of your local grocery store. How are you not doing pulled pork? It is the easiest staple bbq item to prepare. Only reason your getting 2 stars is the service was quite good.

Literally these people do not care for the customer. They are very skimp on the food portion, and I do not recommend anyone give them any business. Order a large order rib tip and it looks like a small. Then when I called to complain, I received no apology, no empathy whatsoever. All I got was “we weigh them out” not once did they think they maybe the bones give more weight than the actually meat. I can’t wait till this place closes down.
