This place was great, messy, but great. The brisket sandwiches to die for. We had to take out order, everything was correct and well packed. We will definitely be back.

I had the pleasure of sampling several smokey delights from Goodstuff Eats last night. These smoked meats are probably the BEST I've ever tasted. From ribs to brisket, pork belly to sweet potato, everything was dynamite. And enhanced with the homemade bbq sauces, this was such a treat. Gus puts so much love and effort into the meats he prepares, you owe it to yourself to try this place. I live about 45 minutes from Goodstuff Eats, and I will definitely be back for these smokey treats!

Friendly staff, amazing food, and cute location. I had a pulled pork sandwich with smoked sweet potatoes on the side. Food was fresh and tasted AMAZING -- especially the sweet potatoes. I will definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood.

This place is awesome and unique. It's a bbq joint that takes a lot of care in the veggies/potatoes aspect of cuisine. The bbq is awesome, and the mixture of veggies and sauces really works. They're also a very nice and considerate staff. 5 stars for sure.

Located in the Cracked Restaurant! After hearing the owner Gustaf explain how much love he puts into his ribs, I had little choice but to give them a try. He had a fresh rack coming off the smoker which I found shocking considering it was almost 11PM!!! I spend a lot of time down in Texas and have had a lot of really good BBQ over the years. These ribs are easily ranked among the top ribs I've ever eaten. They have a beautiful dry rub, and are so juicy and tender, you don't need any sauce. The smoke line is perfect. I usually prefer my ribs with a sauce, but these honestly don't need a drop. The staff is warm and friendly, and there's a tremendous sense of pride they put into their food. If you're anywhere near Wicker Park I highly recommend you give them a try. I can't wait to go back and try that brisket.

Been looking forward to checking this place out and it did not disappoint! The rib tips were cooked perfectly and the vegan sandwich was on point. This was a solid bbq experience and I will definitely be back.

I cannot believe this place was empty. Perfectly smoked bbq rib tips on sweet potatoes with slaw and a roll at midnight?! In wicker park no less?! I thought I was hallucinating after riding around the city in my underwear for 4 hours but one of the super chill workers invited me in when he saw me perusing the menu sign and man oh man am I glad he did. I got it to go but it smelled so good as I was walking back to my car that I started snacking on the sidewalk. Hopefully it was just a little slow and more people frequent this place because amazing late night bbq needs to be an always option.

Found this BBQ pop up while meandering through Wicker Park. They are located in the same spot as Cracked. Had the brisket slider and tator tots - it's a solid BBQ joint and great drinks.
