CitySearch Tips

The Extras

For your own downhome feast, call on the restaurant's mobile kitchen, which caters for 25 to 1,200 people. Options include pig and lamb roasts and chicken quarter meals.

Fun Fact

Owner Wilklie Wagner got his start setting up shop at outdoor festivals in Chicago during the summer of 2007.

FourSquare Tips

  • John A.
    Some of the finest BBQ in the city - great ribs, tips, hot links. The brisket is the strongest offering - be sure to ask for extra mustard sauce.
  • Time Out Chicago
    The ribs can be a bit dry, but the smoky pulled pork makes up for it, clocking in as one of the best around. Tender, juicy chicken comes in second, with puckery slaw and meaty beans solid runners-up.
  • Ed M.
    Must get the pulled pork, and mix all the sauces.
  • Manbque
    Get the Sampler Platter - everything is worth trying
  • Carrie B.
    If your party is two or more, get the sampler platter. And while you are at it throw in the fried green tomatoes. One more, the mustard, garlic sauce is the best thing you've had on anything
  • Jamie T.
    Avoid the guy in big black glasses at the end of the bar. He just talks about soccer. Like, all the time!
  • Mike G.
    Cool place with a unique country theme. Wacky garb on the walls, low lighting, and some toe tapping folk music set the mood. Pair that with some craft brews, great food, and friendsly staff- STELLAR
  • Nicole P.
    Very affordable! Chili mac is excellent and so is their pulled pork! Live music makes it a lot of fun!
  • Grace
    Food is sooo good. Definitely try the Mac and cheese as a side. good service. Everyone was very friendly. Will def be back
  • Time Out Chicago Kids
    Willie Wagner set up shop in Pilsen to serve his ?Memphis-style,? dry-rubbed barbecue. The smoky pulled pork clocks in as one of the best around. Tender, juicy chicken comes in second.
