**I do NOT recommend**I originally asked for a boneless BBQ sandwich. I always order this when I travel to Chicago because I enjoy it so much. Today when I went to order, I was discouraged from ordering the boneless and was told to get the pulled pork. I probably should’ve walked away because the pulled pork was dry and nasty. Next time a customer asks for something, just give them what they ask for.
This place handles food allergies better than almost any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. I placed an order online and noted my allergies, and they actually called me to make sure what I ordered would be ok for me. They were super nice about it and wanted to be safe. Can’t take that for granted.
The pulled pork was quite good, as were the fries and coleslaw. No complaints, especially for train station food.

I asked for an extra ketchup packet they act like I asked for a kidney.
