If you understand BBQ-- REAL good BBQ takes time to smoke to a tender, juicy, pinky, perfect flavor. You need to have a great deal of patience and skill. Lee and Danita have that gift in their soul so you have to wait for all that goodness to be assembled for your dining experience. Sit and talk after placing your order be patient and you won't EVER be disappointed.

Excellent barbecue choices on the menu. Our group had a wide variety of options from the menu such as the full slab of ribs, the brisket, pulled pork, etc. So tasty! The baked beans were delicious. The brisket was smoked perfectly. Just great! Not that the drink choices are a bit limited. You select a can from a refrigerator.

Rib Tips are fantastic, the coleslaw was really good, same with the Mac n cheese. Definitely coming back again, gotta try that Peach Cobbler I keep hearing about. Also the people here are so nice.

We had a family Thanksgiving with a deep fried turkey and 4 smoked turkey legs from Smokin BBQ and it was spectacular, moist & very tasty. Thanks for the wonderful meal.

Nice little place in a strip mall on the corner of 45 and Hawley. Had the two meat combo, ribs and brisket. The brisket was the best I've had in a long time. Tender, juicy, and flavorful. The ribs were also great just with the rub. they didn't need any sauce. We also enjoyed the collard greens and the spicy cabbage sides. The owners were friendly and welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable for eating out bbq these days. Will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu! I'm glad we checked this place out, I think it is going to become our go-to for BBQ!

I grew up in the south and very familiar with barbecue as well as fried catfish and hush puppies. This place is every bit as good as anything down south if not better. I tried other barbecue places in Chicago and in the area Vernon Hills, Palatine and Waukegan. This is by far the best.
BEST Barbecue in the area, we had the Pork Rib Tips, Ribs, Hot Sausage, Jalapeño Sausage, Mac n Cheese, and Baked Beans. Absolutely blown away, grab yourself more than a bite y’all!
One problem with this place! It tastes like more! But seriously, excellent bbq!

The food is fantastic, the staff is warm and inviting, and the owner is appreciated for all the support. He takes the time to talk with all of his customers and displays a positive and everlasting impression on the person and your taste buds. When in the area, stop in and give it a taste. You will not be disappointed.

Great Bbq the best pull pork I have had. It was flavorful and not dry. Rib tips excellent as well.
