Where is the best place to eat BBQ in downtown Chicago?

Question

I will be visiting for the holiday due to work and want to try not to be so homesick. I do not like sweet sauce so keep this in mind when you make your recommendation. Good sides are a plus too!

Answer 1

I just went ona vacation in chicago and loved it! I am not sure about BBQ but why dont you go to Bistro 110 and have dinner there?? Soo good!

Answer 2

Isn't BBQ good comfort food?

I would have to try out Smoque BBQ if I were you. They are at 3800 N Pulaski Rd. Their number is [phone] or visit them on the web at http://www.smoquebbq.com/. Real, slow smoked... sounds yummy!

Enjoy!

If they are still open try Miller's Pub at Wabash and Adams.  They had the best baby back ribs and great sides.  I was born and raised in Chicago.  I've relocated so I'm not sure because the loop changes so much, so often.  

Answer 4

There is a place that serves Carson's ribs over by Monroe and Canal, it's a restaurant called Blackie's, in one of the Riverside Plaza's train station areas, next to TCF bank, outdoor atmosphere available.  If you want good ribs on the go, try a place called Hecky's on Division and Halsted.

Answer 5

i dont think its one downtown, but famous dave's are in a few surrounding suburbs

Answer 6

There is a place called Smoque.  They are supposed to have the Best BBQ in the area.

Check them out.  http://www.smoque.com  

They are located at 3800 N Pulaski phone # 773-545-RIBS.

From what I understand if you call ahead it is easier than eating there.  Also they do sell out of some of their items.

Answer 7

Gibsons Steak House.  

Answer 8

Warning:  DO NOT go to Smokin' Woodies on Lincoln Ave.  Me and two friends got violently ill food poisoning after eating there one night.
