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, spicy marinades , 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 BBQ fancy 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.

ask for Danny's section - he took great care of us and made excellent suggestions. We all loved our food & drinks selections

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 . Read more

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 Read more

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 . Read more

The tri-tip sandwich was seriously the best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. Get the strawberry fields forever cocktail

Best old fashion I've ever had. Make sure you order it without ice.

Tri-tip is excellent - like it with the Memphis hot sauce . Corn bread was a let down, but the rest of the sides made up for it!

Tri-tip sandwich and smokey BBQ , is the way to go. So damn good. Fries are awesome too!

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!!!

Smoked beef tri-tip on brioche kicked with BBQ rub-dusted fries . Read more

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 tri-tip sandwich is excellent. You can't go wrong. Nice craft beer selection too!

Half pound of BBQ pulled pork with side of collard greans.

the recently added fried chicken is just as amazing as the bbq dishes. oh and moonshine is great in everything from bloodies to sweet tea .

If you like Memphis-style sauce, the molasses-y flavor of the "Smoky" is what you're looking for. Mac and cheese is superb.

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.

Buy a 10$ bracelet for 10% off for life! eat lunch here! It's not crowded , it's delicious and a good price!

Love pork ? Then this is your place. They also have a fried chicken takeout window.

The Mac & Cheese & Tri-Tip is a must. Oh & Smoky Sauce ! Soooo good.

AMAZING just AMAZING ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????#AMAZING

My favorite BBQ spot in Chicago. Love the fried chicken and bacon grits .

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!

Excellent shrimp grits , definitely worth trying.

Don't miss the tri-tip. It might be blasphemous to love beef this much in a BBQ joint , but I do.

Want your mind blown!!! Try the grits with bacon ... And the smoked chicken and dumplings !!! Holy shit! It's so good!

Love the Pulled Pork Sandwich . Lube it up with some Carolina Gold and you're really havin' a good time.

The ribs here - lean and mean baby backs rubbed out in “Carolina dirt” - made our list of the 40 Reasons to Love Chicago.

Really good pulled chicken sandwich ! Great bun ! I was pleasantly surprised with this place!

Try the beer-battered fried pickles , which are extra tasty served with homemade ranch dressing ($5).

Everything! Really, everything!

The smoked tri-tip sandwich is so good.

Really enjoyed the big fresh salad with pulled chicken

Gotta love BBQ , most items beyond the sandwiches are gluten free . Ask your server about the sauces to be sure there's no gluten.

Really good food, but don't come when they are closing because they get anxious, freak out, and service spirals rapidly south.

The pulled pork sandwich is really good!

I like their pork , stay away from ribs very dry and expensive . Great sauces available.
