Great food, live music on Sundays, and there's a pool table in the back, it has good upkeep as well! Loud when there's live music but moderate if not :)

The food was alright, I guess. I was hoping I had finally found the BBQ place in Chicago, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype. Staff were great!

The vibe when you come is second to none. Hilarious bartended when I came in that recommended the hot honey brisket. Best I’ve had. Can’t say anything about the beans but that’s the only thing I would change

Stopped in late one night and really enjoyed it. The bartender was super helpful and friendly, and there was live music playing — great atmosphere. Interesting vibe overall and a cool spot to hang out.

Food was okay. Chicken was moist, lacked flavor, but the sauce definitely gave it a boost. Our garlic bread was BURNT and had no garlic flavor. M&C felt a bit grainy, wasn't anything special. Really hoping this was a one time goof. I really wanna like this place.

The absolute worst BBQ we've ever had and maybe some of the worst food in Chicago. I have to assume the high ratings are coming from people who enjoy the bar or maybe the restaurant has different chefs? We placed a pickup order for a b-day meal and that was seamless. Every single item we got was extremely dry and almost inedible. Even brisket with fat on it was dry.

We decided to get takeout tonight for my birthday. My husband spent over $170 on our food. Let’s start with the beans, they had no flavor whatsoever!!!! Did someone forget the salt! I’m not a salty person at all, but they literally tasted like bland beans and a chunk of meat. The corn bread was dry as heck. The brisket was nothing special. I will never return to the place again. I’ve definitely had better.

The food was dry. Chiken was flavorless
I tried it a couple years ago and the barbecue was good. But it disappointed this time.
