Their sauce is unlike any other BBQ sauce I have ever had and BBQ is my favorite food. It's seriously the best! You have to put sauce on the steak fries. It's just part of it. Their meat is good. It's not the juciest meat ever but it's incredibly good cause they cook on wood. So many people think ribs should fall off the bone but truly good ribs have some bite to them. They should not just fall off the bone. That defeats the whole purpose. The chicken and rib combo is the best. It's a ton of food for a very reasonable price. I like it with hot sauce on it and extra sauce on the fries. Yes, your fries will get soft but they're delicious soaked in that liquid gold. Temper your expectations. This place is not fancy. They do things their own way and it has worked for decades. I pray it never changes. Get a lemon shake up to drink and enjoy

I used to go to the location in Urbana when I was in college. In town for a football game, I tried…read morethis location to bring back some of the nostaliga. The sauce was what I remembered and was great. The ribtips were OK. The pork and brisket were both dry and nearly inedible. We ended up throwing most of it in the trash. I had seen that the quality and service had decline, but I was shocked at just how bad the foot was. The store doesn't have any ambiance to speak off, so the food is the only selling point. I guess i just shouldn't have relived my memory.

Y'all! I am a native Texan and this BBQ is LEGIT! The brisket is perfection. The turkey breast is…read moreso juicy and has a ton of flavor. The sausage (original and jalapeno cheddar) and their pulled pork: chef's kiss! Their sides! Their sides! Their sides! The mac and cheese: beyond delicious! The coleslaw: outstanding! The beans: yummy! The potato salad: so dilly and flavorful! By far, hands down, the best banana pudding ever! It is so creamy and if I could eat a ton, I would! Keep in mind, this is truly craft BBQ. Most everything, including their BBQ sauces, are made daily!! If you love brisket, get there early. If you love mac and cheese, get there early. If you love BBQ, get there early. They don't believe in microwaves, so once the food is sold out, they close. Those of you from Texas know, if the BBQ is great, get there early! The owner, James, takes great pride in his BBQ! His daughter, Shae, works with him, and they are both passionate about serving food that people will come back for! And they are from Texas! Austin, TX!! And guess what??! Starting tomorrow, Saturday, October 24, they will start serving pork ribs! I cannot wait. Do yourself a favor...run, don't walk, to try them out. You won't be disappointed. Update: The ribs are delish!

This was only my first or second time trying a food truck on campus, so in the CU food truck…read morecommunity, I'm a novice at best. From what I can tell this is a very new (and good) addition to the food trucks on campus. I happened to be walking near the east side of Siebel around lunch time when I saw the Hendrick House truck setting up. I went up without even having to wait in line (1-2 people milling around, if that) and was greeted pleasantly by a cashier. I asked a couple of questions, checked out the short menu, and read their claim of only "fresh, local organic food" and decided to go for it. I ordered the "chicken taco" for $6, which was actually three hard shell chicken tacos loaded with lettuce, cheese, onions, salsa verde, breaded spicy chicken and probably some other ingredients I'm missing. They took about 5 minutes to make, and were absolutely delicious! A good amount of food for the price. They only had 4 things on the menu when I was there, and they were $7, $6, $4, and $3 (the $7 item being a steak sandwich). This is not a place trying to rip you off, and everything seemed fresh. Go check it out! Enjoyable experience all around. I would recommend this to anyone.

This business is owned by Jimmie Smith and Otha Burrage…read more They pay $312 per year for a City of Champaign street vendor permit. I've seen them set up at the corner of State and Bradley in Champaign on Saturdays. The half chicken meal was $5.75 and came with a lot of chicken, two slices of Wonderbread and a bag of chips. Chicken was amazing - smoked to perfection. But the barbecue sauce was extra, extra mild and had that fresh-off-the-grocery-store-shelf taste. A real barbecue joint would make its own sauce and it would make at least some of it hot. Who eats barbecue with mild sauce? Soup sandwiches do - that's who.

Things are little slow in the winter, so they are irregular and you just have to see if they are set up. I picked up 3 platters of ribs and tips a couple weeks ago for my family and we have been craving them ever since. Tender juicy meat that falls off the bone, nicely seasoned, with sauce on the side. The sauce is tomato-based, like something off the shelf, but nothing I'm familiar with -- probably customized a bit. It's mild, sweet-sour-tangy but not hot/spicy. I happen to like it a lot, but I know others want more heat. The ribs and tips platter is $8 and enough to serve 2 people or 1 very hungry person. Comes with bread and chips. These ribs are great, and I can't stop thinking about getting more. Just the smell is awesome. In fact, these guys have no signage -- the smell is what sells it. I understand they also do catering. You can find their number if you do some deep Googling, but I'll leave it off here in case they don't want too many random calls.
