read moreAfter years of not visiting, we returned to a BBQ restaurant with high hopes, only to be let down by dry ribs and fatty brisket. Despite friendly service and BYOB option, we were disappointed in the food quality. Another reviewer found the brisket tasty but the pulled pork lacking. A negative review highlighted patio issues with bugs and flies. However, there were positive reviews as well, with praises for the brisket, pulled pork, and sandwiches. One customer declared it to be the best BBQ in Chicago, with flavorful meats and delicious sides. Overall, while some reviewers found flaws in certain dishes, many others praised the restaurant for its delicious BBQ offerings and friendly service.

read moreI live about ten minutes from Smoque BBQ, but for some odd reason, I've never been there in the ten plus years that they have been in business.
A bit pricey but delicious non the less the staff was helpful and nice and the patio makes it an ideal spot for summer eatin' i will for sure be back!!!!!!
I've been meaning to go here for the longest time but to be honest I don't really crave BBQ.
