Little mom and pop BBQ restaurant here in Dwight. Grabbed a to-go order to try them out for the…read morefirst time! Talked with - I believe one of the owners - she said it was just her and her husband running the place. The restaurant was quiet with just us and one other couple inside on a Sunday afternoon. We ordered two brisket sandwiches and an order of pulled pork nachos. The food was good, brisket was a little dry, but no real complaints. They had 3 sauce options you could put into to-go containers yourself to try out, we opted for the southern comfort I believe and it was good BBQ! Also a nice touch I saw is they sold farm fresh eggs. My only two critiques would be phone etiquette and inventorying expired product. We called ahead of time to make sure the restaurant was open with it being a holiday weekend. Once the phone was answered on the other end, it was silent for about 30 seconds then we were given just a "Hello?". We had to confirm we were calling Cherry Red Roasters instead of calling someone's personal phone. We were given sour cream I believe in a packet to go with our nachos, but the expiry date on the packet was 5/13/2025 when the date we dinned was 5/25/2025.

I was the only customer and wasn't even sure they were open. This was 3:30 on the Sunday after thanksgiving. The owner was there and took my order. I had 6 oz of sliced brisket and 6oz of smoked pork sausage. The sausage was delicious. I was actually sad when I had finished it all because o wanted more. The brisket was very tender and juicy, but it needed some sauce. Since I got my order to go I tried some of their sauces and settled on the cherry bomb. This isn't food you can eat while driving, but it's worth the stop. When I think of the line of cars at the Dairy Queen I think those people are really missing out. For 2 minutes further they could have had a great meal. I will be going back to try the sides. FYI the place was clean and somewhat charming. A real pleasure.

Given it's double the price of a single meat platter, I expected it to comfortably feed two. On the platter were two solid ribs, a quarter dark chicken, and one hot link which were all solid sharing portions. Brisket which I understand would be one of the more expensive items - was one slice plus a sliver of a dry end attached to it. I'm not sure if that's one slice or a one slice plus what one was counting as a second slice. This was a disappointing mark - I thought about asking the server about whether we should have at least a full second slice. Pulled pork - to me is a much less expensive item compared to brisket - yet a relatively small amount. Not as egregious as the easily measured brisket. Cole slaw - even if it was made in house as opposed a commercial bulk supplier, this is a low cost item no? Small dish. Quality is very good - just a question of the quantity. Tap water here seems filtered for neutral taste. It was a nice day on a quiet Sunday afternoon so we opted to get seated outside on the patio with umbrella shade. Traffic going by was light and quiet. Two servers available during the lull while we were there and the worked as a team to check on us outside.

On a side note it's great that they do a half order. Burnt ends that the hubby raved over and a bowl of chili and home made cornbread. All the food was delicious. The only thing that I would change (and this seems to be at every BBQ place) is that the cornbread is still cold. Pop that into the microwave to heat it up and you have a hit !! Honestly the highlight was the awesome bartender. Can't remember his name but we bonded over dog stories and photos. (He has Norwegian Ellhounds) He was a great guy to chat with !! We will definitely be back to try more food

I ordered the brisket expecting nice, clean slices, and instead got a mushy pile that was mostly fat. It didn't resemble proper brisket at all and was very underwhelming--especially for $18.99. My mother and I were both disappointed because we were genuinely looking forward to a quality barbecue experience. Unfortunately, the brisket completely missed the mark. On top of that, my nephew said his ribs had little to no flavor, which just added to the frustration. We spent about $100 for five people (three adults and two kids), and it simply wasn't worth it. For that price, you expect decent quality and consistency, and this place didn't deliver. Overall, very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend it, and we won't be coming back.

The South Moon is a casual room packed with vintage and antique toys of all things. So many joints…read moredecorate their rooms with antique junk-it's a simple theme that almost always works. TOYS, as a theme catches your eye and your fancy, and provides a sense of comfort, really. If you're of a certain age, you HAD some of these pieces when you were a kid. I certainly did. But what links Toys, Bourbon and BBQ, I have no idea. Perhaps if you hit some fine pre-prandial herb it might make sense. I can remember that state of mind from my hippie days, and I think I may be on to something. The Q here is superb, at prices that will make you clean your glasses to make sure you saw it correctly. The perfectly-seasoned rib rack is HUGE (see photo below), with the right amount (and right flavor) of smoke. The pulled pork and brisket is the same quality. The sauces taste home-made and if you like it HOT, the ghost-pepper variety will not disappoint. Someone in this kitchen knows what they are doing. There are a few miscues (not enough to put me off my feed, but I report it all nonetheless): The Slaw is a little underseasoned. Hit it with some salt and it's great. The vaunted "spicy potato salad" isn't exactly a "must-have", I'd stick with the regular "mustard-style" tater-salad. There's a pulled Chicken which I haven't tried yet, but there isn't a bone-in BBQ chix option. I'll bet they'd knock it out of the park if there was one. And then there's the bar. A heroic variety of Bourbons, and the guy who curates the collection (I think his name is Phil) really knows his stuff inside and out, even if he looks more like a farmhand than a Bourbon Sommelier. They also have a smashing selection of Irish Whiskies. Note Bene: Make sure you have a designated driver. Trust me. In and amongst the toys, all this great booze is offered for sale. They also have a variety of THC-infused beverages on the menu. With this excellent Q, the mind boggles. Plus...toys. As far as Circuses, the service is homey and efficient, with sports on the TV, and picnic tables as a seating choice. A fine feed indeed, and it doesn't do that bad of damage to your pocketbook. We've always wanted to find a place that was in the same league as the Q joints found in the South, and I think we hit on a winner here. Worth the drive, that's for sure. Epilogue: Here's the wicked pissah: For a while, South Moon was open not more than a mile from Stately Breakwind Manor, here in the far southwest Chicago Burbs; in a building that until recently never had a winner in it. We didn't go 'cos we didn't like the building (idiots,we). If you take a look through Yelp for this region most every Q stop is compared to South Moon-believe them.
