Best BBQ In Chicago
By:
Published: November 5, 2006
BBQ is different all over the country. In Texas, one will usually find beef, namely brisket, while pork is popular in the Carolinas. Moving west towards Kansas, one can find ribs, usually pork but beef is not uncommon. Mutton is the BBQ of choice in Kentucky, and in Chicago, it's all about the pulled-pork sandwich.
In Chicago, we take our meat seriously. Many restaurants specialize in BBQ dishes, making it a popular cuisine for locals and visitors. For some of the best BBQ in the city, make sure to try any one of these popular spots.
Carson's Ribs
612 N. Wells St.
(312) 280-9200
This is the chain's second, but flagship, location. This popular spot actually started in Skokie in 1977 and has since opened several stores in Chicagoland. The ribs, which are the chewy variety, are smoked with natural hickory and are topped with a secret BBQ sauce. It is also a popular take-out place; who can forget the catchy Take it, to go! slogan? Obviously not many, since it is still some of the most popular BBQ in town.
Average Dinner Entree: $15-$25
The Fireplace Inn
1448 N. Wells St.
(312) 943-7427
Located in Old Town, this has been a family owned and operated establishment since 1969. Inside is a warm and welcoming atmosphere with an outdoor, all-seasons patio. This cozy spot specializes in Baby Back Ribs.

Twin Anchors
1655 N. Sedgwick St.
(312) 266-1616
Outfitted with marine décor, leather booths and wood floors in a century-old building, this is a popular place with local neighborhood residents. Sometimes one can wait over an hour for a table. Their Baby Back Ribs draw most diners in, but they offer a variety of American cuisine.
Average Dinner Entree: $8-$15
Smoke Daddy Rhythm and Bar-B-Que
1804 W. Division St.
(773) 772-6656
All the meat here is slow-cooked in an authentic pit-BBQ they refer to as the "Lil' Red Smoker" and their signature sauce adds a savory touch to the meat. Besides great food, they feature live jazz and blues acts seven days a week in a low-lit, laid-back, cool atmosphere. Even though meat dishes are the main draw here, they also offer a popular vegetarian BBQ sandwich.
Average Dinner Entree: $15-$25

This crowded Southern cuisine establishment is located in the Lakeview area of Chicago, near DePaul. From a menu that is largely BBQ-based, their specialties include a delicious pulled-pork sandwich.
