The brisket was the best part; then the pudding bread, rib tip
Mac & cheese and
Sausage. The sticky sprouts are the cherry on top. I saved the 3 pcs of Pig Candy for when I get home.

I have to say, hands down this is some of the best barbecue within the Chicagoland area! This was my 1st visit and I was blown away. Thanks to the staff for being responsive and providing great customer service! I’ll be back soon!

Great place for food, drink and music! And they treat their musicians well!
