Their truck was bumping good music and getting the party going. I decided to try what they had. I tried their Pulled Pork Nachos. They were okay. The BBQ tasted good but the dish needed more of it. The pineapple slaw was a no go for me. I didn't see a single pineapple in the slaw and it lacked the flavor of so. I did enjoy their BBQ sauces. They had multiple options: Original, Smokey and Tennessee Red (which was my favorite)! I'm giving Blue Hog 4 stars because I'm reviewing the sauce and the sauce was the saving grace. If I was reviewing the BBQ overall it would have been lower.

When you walk in you order at the counter, I opted to get it to go. I ordered the Dirty Mustache sandwich; smoked brisket and sausage with a beer cheese sauce and crispy onion strings. I also got the side of beans. The sandwich was large and on a hoagie bun. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The sausage had a nice snap and was cut lengthwise to fit the bun. The beans were good, tender with a tangy sauce. This place is better than the bigger named options in the region.

When you get in there, order and the food is good- bonus. I suspect that most of the dishes here are good. The place filled up quick and folks kept coming during the 90-minutes or so that we were there. Peter and I both got the Brisket sandwich, I was happy with everything, the brisket was exceptional, they have multiple sauces on the table, tried them all- solid. The fries weren't special but were hot and salty. The coleslaw is pretty basic, but I suspect that is intentional to give you a flavor reset. The service was quick, and effective. Our server came by just enough to make sure we had everything we wanted. She also realized at a certain point that we were going to sit there and catch-up and she left us alone. The one oddity (and maybe she did tell me and I missed it), was that we had to bring the check up ourselves to the register. Bonus: Met 3 guys from Sweden who had flown in to Chicago to follow Route 66 across the country. Somehow beer at 1100 works with a European accent.

We unfortunately were in the pocket that they were out of the things I like to try in a BBQ restaurant I haven't been too. But I got a pulled pork brisket sampler. The meat was dry without the BBQ sauce which was disappointing. It should be juicy. The sausage sampler was great that my BF had. I probably won't be back as it didn't leave me craving for more, unfortunately.

The Brisket, served with a pickle, is top notch flavor, cooked to perfection and properly portioned. The baked bean with shredded brisket is beyond flavorful.

The staff are true professionals who treat everyone with love and care. Which is hard to come by these days. Two Dudes BBQ is an amazing mouthwatering experience. Cannot wait to get back.

While other local restaurants have pork steaks, cheeseburgers & hamburgers ask yourself this; "How many have Papa T's Dirty Fries!?!?!?" A bed of crisp shoestring French Fries covered with tangy sweet pulled pork, crumbled up crispy bacon and sliced pickled jalapeños with the right amount of yummy Nacho Cheese Sauce with a touch of sweet bar-b-que sauce added for good measure and there you have my friends "Papa T's Dirty Fries"! Great to buy as an appetizer and share with friends or fantastic to have as a fulfilling mean by itself. Give them a try and trust me, you will be back for more!

It has the Holy Trinity of Midwest smoked meats with pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. Chicken is also available. Sides include the usual baked beans, green beans, coleslaw, mac & cheese, and others. Sandwiches and wraps are also available. The lunch special provides a good value, an entrée two sides and a drink for under $20. My pulled pork sandwich fell into that category. It was a hefty portion of meat, and my sides of green beans and coleslaw were good. The meat lacked a little bit of smoke. The coleslaw was overly sweet. The green beans were perfect. With minimal outside signage and a setback front door, this is an easy place to miss on the corner of Cherry and Second. It's in the former Good News Brewing Company space.
