Service as an 11/10. Appetizer was on the table before the waitress had finished taking our order! Good was off the charts, delicious and hot. Potato salad was solid, home made chips were perfect, and Rib Tips exactly as they should be. Great little place to dine, will return read more

Fantastic food for all 6 of us! Excellent service, food served hot and quick and not a complaint about anything!! Their bbq dishes are the absolute best!! Actually can't wait for our next visit!! read more

I live 1 block from BC BBQ, I eat there often. I have never had a problem with my meal. I usually get the Pulled Pork sandwich. Portion size: very generous serving amount. If I had an extra bun, I could make 2 sandwiches. Price is reasonable $9.99 Dan Taylor read more

We've eaten at BC BBQ several times and have never been disappointed. The service is always quick and friendly. I recommend several menu items: pork nachos, brisket sandwich, tenderloin sandwich, pulled pork, and my personal favorite, burnt ends, which is only served on Saturday. The House and Lovingood's BBQ sauces are both excellent. The sides are also good--I particularly like the southern green beans and the mac n' cheese. The cornbread is tasty too. read more

We stopped here for lunch before we went furniture shopping in Pekin. Our service from Riley was great. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich combo with baked beans and coleslaw. I ordered an additional side the potato salad and a piece of cornbread. My wife ordered the 1/3 ribs with green beans and cheesy potatoes. We both got sweet teas to drink. The downfall of this meal was the sweet tea! It appears to be Lipton fountain tea. It had a funny after taste. The highlight of the meal was my wife's fall off the bone ribs. The pulled chicken was dry and a little too chewy. The sides were pretty good. We enjoyed the cheesy potatoes, green beans, and coleslaw the most. We will be back for those ribs! We loved the loving goods sauce! read more

Staff is very kind and it's a nice place. The food is pretty good, but not much of a menu at all. I wish they had more options.

Finally, good local bbq! We tried the brisket, chicken and hog wings. All were smokey, tender and cooked to perfection! The hog wings are hammy little shanks and tender smoked pork, on the bone! The meats are all served without sauce (thank you!), and no sauce is needed, however they offer several tasty varieties. Friendly service, great prices and perfect location! Today they only offer carry out, but when the dining room opens I imagine they will be very busy! read more

BC BBQ - a tray of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Tremont, Illinois

Went on recommendation from friends. What a disappointment. Order a pulled pork sandwich. It was a Kroger sized sandwich bun with approx 2 tablespoons of meat. Husband ordered brisket dinner. 6 French fries a tiny sized pork and beans. Not a baked bean side at all. And the brisket looked like mystery meat. Ground up something. Again extremely small sandwich. To sum it up. We came home at ate again. We were still hungry. Sure glad we didn't order ribs. Would have been a couple bones. Sorry won't go back again. read more

Great local BBQ joint! If you're looking for good food and great customer service, you've found the right place! read more

The Brisket sandwich was dried out and not juicy at all. The people there are very nice but the meat was not tender at all. I was very disappointed. read more

We had the loaded pork nachos, pork bbq sandwiches and cheesy potatoes. Delicious! It was even ready a couple of minutes early! No wait to carry out-curbside. Can't wait to go back! read more

The smell of smoked meat greets you in the parking lot. I was excited to try this restaurant. We shared some ribs, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. The ribs were leaner than I prefer, and the pulled pork and pulled chicken were pretty good. All had a good smoky flavor. I love BBQ sauce on the meat. If you like very sweet sauces, then you'll love it. We do not. The extra spicy wasn't quite as sweet as the others, but was still very sweet. All of the sauces were laced in sugar. We ended up bringing the meat home and putting our own BBQ sauce on it. The coleslaw is not good. The green beans are fabulous. The service was outstanding. read more

So, we went the first week of them being open. They were out of beef and pork but chicken was available. The space was nice, having been recently refurbished, and there was a great bar for sitting at to eat as well as tables. There is beef, pork, ribs and chicken on the menu. They have "Hog Wings", the leg of the hog and there is a big lump of smoked meat that practically falls off the bone. They had the first sauce that I considered spicy, which is an achievement. The coleslaw was cold and creamy, a real treat. They let you add the sauce and bring the meat to the table, unadorned, which then means you control how much sugar is on the plate - outstanding! I will be returning asap!!! read more

BC BBQ - a burger and fries on a tray - Barbeque Near Me - Tremont, Illinois

We were looking for something new to eat and nothing sounded good until I stumbled onto bc bbq on Google. We decided to give it a try. Our waitress was very pleasant. They were out of a few things, but that's understandable because they were packed! We tried the loaded chicken nachos, which were the bomb! Used the lovingood sauce and it was so tasty! Had wanted brisket but it sold out so we went with pulled pork sandwiches. He got fries that were amazing. The green beans were a little too garlicy for us but overall it's a two thumbs up and we will for sure be back! Earlier next time so we can try the ribs and brisket though. read more

Delicious food every time and quite honestly the best place to eat in Pekin. We are locals and come here at least a few times a month. The homemade sauces are some of the best I've had. read more

Great smoked BBQ, house sauce is good ole Southern style. Good decor with lots of room and service is friendly and efficient. Nice addition to the Pekin area. read more

If you're looking for real, honest to goodness BBQ, look no further! This place has it. Daily quantities of their BBQ are limited as most true, authentic BBQ joints are, so if you're wanting that full rack of ribs or burnt ends, get there or order early to avoid disappointment. read more

Good food, attentive servers, small place with big flavor. Good weekly specials advertised on Facebook

I've been giving them my business since they first opened at their first location. Always great food. I would say I'm an "occasional" not a regular, but I have taken many friends, visitors, and bought food for gatherings here. Tonight I went and spent 30.00 on 1burnt ends dinner and a desert to go. I brought it home and there were 7 small burnt ends that were bricks and couldn't chew. I called and they were accommodating. I took meal back and they replaced with ribs. I drove all the way home again and they were awful. Worst ribs I've ever had. like they boiled the ribs. French fries the same. Worst fries ever. I ate the Mac and cheese for dinner. So disappointing when you treat yourself to a meal and spend that kind of mo and it's horrible. Not to mention the gas back and forth. Too many other great places to eat for less. I won't be going back. Sorry BCBarbq. read more

Have been here a few times. Always enjoyable but I never was able to get there earlier to try their famous hog wings. Went early enough today to score some and they where definitely worth the hype! Was surprised to see coconut shrimp on their appetizer menu but that's one of my favorite dishes so ordered those too and will be ordering again! My bf who doesn't even like coconut tried them and really like them too. Had a Bloody Mary while I waited. I'm pretty picky when it comes to those but the bartender did good. Very satisfied! read more

Nice little place in the old downtown area. Recently relocated, remodeled and clean. Server was good and service was quick. Diet Pepsi was spot on. Brisket sandwich was meh. Plain home type burger buns with a generous amount of meat for a small bún. Meat was moist but lacked seasoning and smoke; like zero of either. I literally put my nose a half inch from the sandwich and could smell no smoke. Added my own salt, no bark, so sad. Overall too lean for me. 3 sauces, 2 sweet, 1 hot, no tangy. The real rub was the price. Sandwich, Coke, tip, about $13. I know bbq ain't cheap, but for that money I expected more. read more

We go to Lake of the Ozarks frequently and have had BBQ at nearly all the best places there. Stopped in here when we picked up our aunt from Liberty Village, just across the street. This place ranks up there with all of the Lake places in my opinion. And for about half the cost. Generous pulled pork sandwiches, really good fries. Will be back! read more

after bragging to others about this place, I decided to take 2 friends with me on 10-31. I was so embarrassed I took my friends there. The cole slaw was just one big clump, it was nasty. My pulled pork was cold, fries were cold. Isn't that usually how it happens; you brag to others and others are wondering what the big deal was. Won't go back. read more

Great service with a smile, food came quick and was DELICIOUS! I had brisket nachos. Will definitely go back

Amazing food, made fresh. I haven't found anything on the menu that I don't like. Some of the best BBQ in Central IL.

My biggest recommendation is to dine in. Food doesn't hold temp well on carry outs, however still delicious and very well priced.

This place smelled smoky inside. Took our drink order, never returned for food order, we finally yelled for some one, & when we ordered don't be hungry for Ribs from there limited menu, because they are out of ribs! Seriously, a Saturday early evening & out if ribs at a BBQ place! Won't return. read more

Fantasy BBQ! Definitely the best brisket I've had in central Illinois. My wife had the loaded pork nachos and she loved them. We will for sure be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

I made a special trip to get some lunch yesterday only to find they were closed. Evidently they need to change their website to reflect new hours. Gave it 2stars because it wouldn't let me post without choosing something. read more

BC BBQ in Pekin, IL is a start up that will probably be here for a long time. Since they are just dipping their toes into the business, they are running a stripped down operation. To be exact they currently are serving carry-out only, and their menu is limited. Located in a re-purposed old pawn shop the BC BBQ could morph into a quaint eatery. The (probably) 100 (ish) year old building has a lot of exposed brick and wood. They said their future plans include sit down dining and when they get that going it should make for a nice ambiance. On the down side parking off street sucks. They are located on a side street and there isn't much room to maneuver. Use caution.I The streamlined menu is also going to grow. They told me that racks of ribs are soon to be added. Todays order was for a pulled pork sandwich and two Hog Wings. The out the door price was just shy of $12. My SO said the pork sandwich was nice sized, the meat was jucy, and had a very good smokey flavor. The Hog Wings ($3 each) are hard to describe. It is a pork rib bone with pork meat that resembles a chicken drumstick. Like her sandwich, the meat was smoky, tasty and juicy. 2 of they made for a moderately sized lunch. Several sauces are available and all are served on the side. Several sides are also available, but We didn't try any of them. I hope they can make a go of this because I definitely want eat there again and am eager to see where this goes. read more

Holy cow (or pig) the BBQ pork is phenomenal!!! I am usually one to add BBQ sauce and a bun but with their bbq there is no need. So glad we now have a great bbq restaurant in town. If you haven't tried it yet your missing out. read more

If you love salt and smoke flavor in your meat, you'll be very happy! Really enjoyed the brisket. Pork wings taste similar to ham jerky. Fantastic green beans and yummy baked beans. Others sides we tried (coleslaw and cheesy potatoes) were just ok. Good sauces. Will be back for sure. When I visited, said hours were Thur-Sun 11-8. read more

Food was excellent and the service was great as well. Very friendly and clean. I will be back to eat again before I leave town.

Great place love the food minor issue with parking but well worth the walk from the city parking lot.
