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!

Chicago Culinary Kitchen in Palatine? Yes, please!
Great appetizers, a killer smoked meat burrito, and awesome service. Loved it!

What a great find thanks to WGN Around Town. Met the nicest bartender and enjoyed the great craft drinks. The food was out of this world and we will definitely be back! Can’t wait to order a whole pig for our Oktoberfest. This is a definite must stop for some great BBQ

Food was amazing. Tried all 3 rib options. Traditional might have been best. Fries, zucchini fries, street corn, cornbread was all great. Stick to beer or a cider to drink but the food was spot on!

Just alright. it was hit or miss. Had bacon candy which I would give a 5/5. baked beans 4/5 Mexican corn 2-3/5 sticky rib tips 4/5. Bread pudding 5/5 pulled pork 5/5
The food is outstanding. To the owners, please consider allowing the guests to enjoy the amazing food and each other's company instead of forcing guests to yell at each other while sitting 3 ft apart because of music at 100+ decibels. The atmosphere is great aside from the music and light show, please turn the music down to a level where people can talk and shut off bright lights in the light show. It is obvious there is a lot of care and attention to the food, it is amazing, but the music volume primarily is hurting the experience and the occasional bright light from the light show is an assault on the senses if you are there for great food with friends and family.
Update: went back yesterday (Oct 16,2024) The music is still too loud. My 3 year old was having a blast dancing then someone turned it up to a point where I couldn't hear anyone I was with without yelling at them.
IDK why but this place seems to give no fks for people who come in to eat with friends and family. It's all hair band blow your ears out and eat BBQ. What a waste of time and energy to make great food, set up a unique environment just to ruin it for a lot of potential regular customers who don't like 100db music. I asked the barkeep why it was so loud and she said they turn it up as more people come in. Turn the music down please.
Actually, why don't you go around and ask your customers if it's too loud. Maybe ask people to take a survey? I bet it will be a resounding turn the music down.
Again, why spend all the time and energy to make good food and then limit your customer base with overwhelming music volume? Could be a much busier place if they let people hear themselves.

I attended the BBQ, Beer, & Bourbon event on October 8th, and it was absolutely incredible! The food was seriously top-tier—some of the best BBQ I’ve had in Chicagoland. The atmosphere was fun, and I even learned some cool tips along the way. The bourbon pairings were on point, and the takeaways were fantastic, leaving me more than satisfied. I freaking love this place! If you're into BBQ, this is a must-do. The perfect blend of flavor, fun, and learning!
