Food was okay. Nothing spectacular. Pizza had very little flavor…read more Main problem was the chain smoker on the mostly enclosed patio. Absolutely ruined our experience. There is a reason there is a law in place. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act is (SFIA) a state law which protects residents, workers, and visitors from the harmful effects of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and e-cigarette vapor by prohibiting smoking of all forms of combustible tobacco, including cigarettes, cigars, and hookah, and e-cigarettes, vapes, and any other electronic smoking device, in public places and places of employment. In addition to indoor areas, use of these products is banned outdoors within 15 feet from any entrance, exit, window that opens, or ventilation intake of a public place or place of employment. The SFIA has been protecting Illinois residents and visitors from the dangers of secondhand smoke since its enactment on January 1, 2008; e-cigarettes were added to the act beginning January 1, 2024.

It's getting harder and harder to find restaurants that deliver both great food and great service every single time, but Smokin' Notes has never let us down. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. My personal favorite is the fried catfish, it's perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and some of the best I've had. I also highly recommend the greens and yams, which are always cooked just right and packed with homemade flavor. If you're a barbecue fan, the pulled pork is another must-try. It's tender, smoky, and delicious on its own or piled onto a sandwich. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit feel like they genuinely appreciate your business. Whether we're dining in or just stopping by for a meal, the service is consistently warm and efficient. If you're looking for a local barbecue spot with great food, excellent sides, and dependable service, Smokin' Notes BBQ is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely keep coming back, and it's a place we have no hesitation recommending to friends and family.
