Tri-Tip Sandwich: Get it 'Southern Style' for light coleslaw that provides just the right crunch and vinegar to balance the meat, all without getting in the way.
Amazing pulled pork. The meat has incredible flavor on its own, and then you can choose from their line of sauced to add a regional style. I recommend the vjnegar-based ENC.
This is THE spot for Carolina BBQ in Chicago. Love coming here when I'm feeling homesick for pulled pork with a choice of eastern or western Carolina sauce
The grits and green beans are awesome. Great barbecue: Not too heavy just right. But the coleslaw is a little funky... steer clear. Not quite sure what's going on there

Best BBQ I've ever had in my life!!! Baked beans are amazing! Fries are amazing! Sweet tea is amazing! Banana pudding is yummy. Hot Smoky sauce is my favorite.
The best ribs I have ever had anywhere in the world. Not shittin' ya. The real deal and make sure you order extra for your inner Frank Underwood. Decent beers.
After a fire, the smoked-meat haunt returned less than three months later to serve Charlie McKenna’s award-winning barbecue. Bonus: Grab his addictive, spicymarinades, sauces, and rubs to go.
For true North Carolinians the BBQ doesn't come close to real BBQ from back home and the sweet tea...eh. It's like they tried to make the BBQfancy but on the plus side they have cheerwine ;)
Try the fruit shortcake from our 100 Best list: This sweet-as-pie biscuit-and-fruit concoction (the fruit varies with the season) is good enough to go toe-to-toe with any of the fancier takes.
If you want to journey across the Carolinas in a single sitting, head to Lillie's Q, where they serve all three versions of the Carolina sauce — vinegar, ketchup and mustard. Leggi tutto
A word about the dynamite pulled pork sandwich. A ton of pork -- delicious on its own -- stacked in the maw of the brioche bun. Squirt some "smoky sauce" from the bottle on the table over the pork to Leggi tutto
It’s the pink-tinged pulled pork and thick slices of smoked tri-tip that prove chef-owner Charlie McKenna is every bit deserving of that Memphis in May trophy behind the bar. Leggi tutto

Loved the fried pickles, slaw, sweet potato fries & pulled pork sandwich (gr8 bun) Nice beer selection. Nice atmosphere & Friendly service. Will definately try it again when the AC is working!!!
Loved the ribs! They are authentic, but a little more refined. The pulled pork was a little bland on it's own, but a fun medium for trying the custom BBQ sauces. Skip the side order of grits, but try
The BBQ is decent but ludicrously expensive. It's also pretty reliant on the 6 different types of sauces they have, something that rubbed me the wrong. Pun intended.
Make sure you call in your carry out order. I waited 45 minutes for my carry out order and it was barely warm when I got in the car. Since this was my first visit I MIGHT consider going back! MIGHT!
