The pulled pork sandwiches, Brussel sprouts and Mexican street corn are my faves. So many good options! My kids love the Mac b cheese and sliders. We miss coming in right now, but love that they're doing curbside pickup!! read more

Clean. Friendly staff. Huge portions for a great price. 3 Incredible BBQ sauces with "Sweet" being our favorite. The Papa Q platter fed 2 adults and 3 kids and we still had leftovers! All 10 meats were solid. Cooked nicely and tasted great. For the sides, we ordered: mac q cheese, fries, basked beans, Mexican style corn. Everything was just okay. read more

Have been going here for quite some time now, have going with my wife alone, with a group of friends and with the family, have always had a great experience. Menu has always been a little confusing and has recently change layout, and I'm back at square one lol. Regardless, staff has always been friendly and professional. Food is always great!! read more

This place has really tasty BBQ and I have had it both as a dine-in experience and a delivery experience. I think the dine-in is better due to the take out packaging not traveling as well as it could. Last time we ordered two 3 meat platters, it tasted great, but I have had a better portion and value for the money at other take out places. It didn't seem that we got equal amounts of each meat, but it was still really delish! Not a huge fan of the cajun fries. I think this could use some retooling in the packaging and presentation of this one. The fries didn't really stand out as memorable. The delivery showed up kind of messy with sauces that had leaked on to other items in the bag meant to stay dry. BBQ is meant to be messy so no biggie, I would just suggest wrapping each container separately for take out drivers or deliveries. I will hit these guys up again because I really like the meat, I will be happy when they are open again for dining in because that was a pretty nice experience overall. read more

What starts with hours of slow-cooked seduction, teems with waves of succulent satisfaction and ends with an "O"? Oops, I meant stuffed. Q BBQ. See also: Emporium of Mind-blowing Meat Porn. Location: Downtown La Grange. Mission: Multiple meatgasms. Bring protection, because it's about to get messy at this chic eatery (I prefer Wet-Nap® moist towelettes for the largest + lustiest of appetites). What to get? Put on your down-to-experiment stilettos and Chucks and get busy with the wondrous smoked pulled chicken, tantalizing Texas smoked sausage and the most tender brisket. The sophisticated Q dresses up the pulled pork sandwich with a slice of Gouda. Oh, do stop it Q... you really know how to drive a girl wild. And the sides deserve their own paragraph (while the sauce deserves its own review!). Those delicious devils known as Q-Pups (a hush puppy meets corn-stuffed fritter) are definitely worth the extra 7,238 calories (give or take) and the coleslaw is a wonderful compromise of sweet and spicy, merging the creamy and vinegar-y versions into one harmonic union. I do pronounce it man and wife. The Mac-Q-Roni takes hedonism to a new level with six - yes, SIX - cheeses and a toasted cheddar cheese top. The beans promise more brown sugar than your favorite Toll House recipe and the fries are flawless. For dessert, order the off-the-menu special burnt ends. Yes, I said dessert! Cobblers and cookies are sweet and all, but burnt ends are the sex. Once it's all over, your server will be more than happy to neatly arrange your objects of desire into a tidy little package of love. By the time you get home, your stomach's refractory period will be over and a second romp is imminent. With meat this rousing, don't be surprised if you go all night long. Forget Viagra: Eat at Q BBQ. (series of sighs). read more

Burnt ends brisket? Really. Apparently this was recommended by employees and patrons alike. I, on the other, hand was not impressed. It was large and hard (minds out of the gutter), but delicious nonetheless, just not the go to item. I ordered the 3 meat platter which comes with 2 sides and 2 hush puppies. I had the burnt end brisket, turkey, and sausage. The turkey was moist and flavorful, the sausage had a kick to it, and you already know how I feel about the brisket. The BBQ sauces were my favorite! The Memphis sweet and the Texas spice to be exact. Naturally, I wasn't a big fan of the North Carolina vinegar but I don't like vinegar. They have a great selection of meats, sandwiches, salads, and sides. Easy to order and fast service. Only gripe is parking. There are a few pay lots and even a garage, most were full! read more

Thanks to Michael and the crew at Q for another fantastic meal. Especially since it was my birthday. I had posted on Facebook that I was coming in for my birthday dinner, and they had printed out my picture and were looking for me. They gave me a birthday dessert and drink. It was wonderful. We had eight of us, and even though we had to wait for a table big enough for us, it wasn't long. Food was fantastic. So glad they have the Papa Q Sampler. All four of the men in the group got the sampler, and all four of the women got the Southwest Salad. Everyone had a great time, as always. And Michael was the gracious host that he always is. Good food, good people. Doesn't get much better than that. read more

I am a fan of Q's. I am writing this review to give people a heads up about it's location. It is located on the west side of the street next to the small parking lot next to Horton's and a couple of doors north of the theater. Trust me, if I had not parked directly in front of the place, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find it. I can't add anything about the food, it is delicious and messy. It is nice that they have a sink just around the corner from the cashier so you do not have to tie up the single person bathroom just to wash sticky hands. I love the sweet BBQ sauce so much, that I have taken to dipping my Q-pups in it. Happy tummy, smiling face, sticky hands = a perfect meal. read more

Is it La Grange, or La Grange Park? I've seen it called both. I don't know. I'd be lying if I said I cared. What I do know, however, is that I can now say I have a go-to barbecue spot. And it's in La Grange Park. ..or ...not Park? Whatever. And let it be known that I've never been a huge barbecue person. The only thing I knew about barbecue growing up was my mother throwing Sweet Baby Ray's on some chicken to spruce it up. If you're like me (for your sake, I hope you aren't) and you're indifferent to barbecue, I'm willing to bet you'll still dig this place on account of their variety of sauces. I'm not a fan of sweet sauce. Q BBQ has taught me the North and South Carolina sauces suit my palate the best. They're not sweet at all. Texas and Memphis styles are very sweet, so I skipped on those. I ordered the sliced brisket and it was obviously tender enough to be cut with the plastic knife they gave me. That's a little cocky of them, but hats off. The fries I received on the side were okay, but I really enjoyed the macaroni and cheese which had a Cheez-It top layer crust. Cheez-it layer crust? That's right. I bet YOU never thought of that. A must-try in La Grange...Park... Hills or whatever they call this town. read more

Q-BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

Great tasting BBQ. Clean restaurant and friendly service. Got the smoked wings and Brussel sprouts.

I was first introduced to Q BBQ through a Yelp event what seems like forever ago! I finally got to get back and have a delicious meal this month. I knew I loved the Smoked Pulled Chicken so went for the combo meal for $6.99. It's a great deal for just the sandwich but for that same price you get a side dish and hush puppies. Q's hushpuppies (Q-puppies) are unlike anything else! Mac-Q-Roni was the side dish I went for at Q and it was so yummy in my tummy. If you're looking for good, solid BBQ at a good price, I highly recommend Q BBQ! read more

Q BBQ is a cute cozy little spot in downtown LaGrange. As Carol K. mentioned, once you open the front door, the smell of BBQ hits you. Service is excellent, from front counter, to the friendly hostess, who politely checks in with every table mid-meal, excellent! It's dissapointing that their sampler options do not allow for ribs to be included; that would never happen at a true BBQ place in say, Texas. Given that, I ordered the Pulled Pork sandwich, with a side of cole slaw and hush puppies (called Q puppies, here). The pulled pork was served on a sturdy bun and did not soak through the bottom (like recently at Feed in Chicago), bonus pts.! Served with a light portion of Carolina sauce, the Memphis sweet BBQ and Texas Spicy and Sweet sauces on the table really added to it. The hush puppies were too deep fried. But the cole slaw was excellent. Great choppy cut, and not drowning in sauce or vinegar. The decor is vintage but not corny, and classic blues plays continuously. My only complaint is that it's hard for a larger party to get tables together. read more

YUM! Great BBQ place! We went here for lunch today, this our first time here. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is really clean and the decor is great. The food came out in a reasonable amount of tome, there was 6 of us so it took a little longer than other people sitting around us. I ordered the brisket burnt end sandwich with a side of mexican corn and hush puppies, everything was delicious, nothing was left on my plate. I tried my some of my coworkers food, the pulled pork and mac & cheese are also delicious. I recommend this place :) read more

Woooo Hoooo...finally made it back since the Yelp event. This time it was even better than I had remembered it. Two of us got the platter, which came with pretty much everything on the menu, and shared it. I definetly could have eaten more but glad I didn't. I don't want to overdoit on BBQ even though this would be the place to do it. I tried not dowsing all my meat in their delicious spicy BBQ sauce. I just can't get enough of that sauce, not that the meat needs any of it since it's moist and delicious in itself.They also make some of the best hush puppies around, their other sides don't fall behind either. I really enjoy the laid back feel, the waitresses wearing cowboy boots, jeans, some even hats, very country. I can't wait to go back and let my carnivore side have it's field day again! read more

Q is the best barbeque in the suburbs! We went there for the first time this week and were blown away by the quality! This is real genuine barbeque. It's like you walked into a bbq place in Memphis or Austin. They have Texas Brisket that they smoke for 15 hours. A Texas Sausage that they import. Memphis style dry-rub ribs, Carolina Pulled Pork and more. The Mac & Cheese is good, but the beans are great! My favorite is their Q-Puppies (Hush Puppies)...WOW! If you love BBQ and I don't mean Famous Dave or Uncle Bub's...I mean authentic Texas or Southern Barbeque, Q is a must for you. read more

I finally went last night, and was still asked "How have you NOT come here before? You practically live in LaGrange!!" Q BBQ has been on my radar for a while, but it didn't seem right to go here alone! I was so pumped to finally go though! The shop is moderate size, and really nice-looking inside. I liked the fact that it was more about promoting LaGrange, than pretending that it was a transplant from Texas. There were nice pictures of the town from the 1930s, autographs from the local news people and celebs, and just a nice atmosphere all around. I ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, got green beans as a side and a diet coke- but was impressed to see their selection of craft beers/wines that were offered too! The pulled chicken was very good, and only slightly covered in BBQ sauce. I liked this fact because I was more than intrigued to try all the sauces on the table outside. My two favorites were the spicy texas sauce and the mustard- fan-FREAKING-tastic. I could've stolen those, but I'm not a teenager in LaGrange that's up to no good, so I resisted. The portions were basically a "normal" size, but I still was able to take half my sandwich home. The greenbeans were in a balsamic and maybe parmesan?? covering, and were good, but a little tough. The QPups were suuuuper crispy and delcious. I could've gorged on those, but thankfully my meal only came with two. Staff was very nice, they have a small outside patio area and will bring your food to you, even when outside. Great experience overall! read more

Q BBQ is a small and very busy barbeque joint located in Downtown LaGrange. They have a fairly small menu and would qualify as an independent casual dining restaurant. I've been to Q BBQ a number of times however I recently had my first visit in roughly a year and figured now would be a good time to review them. The first thing that's noticeable about Q BBQ is the fairly small menu. A lot of other BBQ joints offer burgers, chilli, soup and other items not traditionally associated with barbeque to widen their offerings and appeal to a larger audience. Q offers chicken, beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, a few sides, and now salads which I don't recall them offering in the past. When you eat at Q there are four different kinds of sauces placed in squirtable bottles on your table. First off is a Memphis Sweet sauce, then there's a spicy barbeque sauce, then there's a vinegar and a mustard sauce. All of the sauces have a nice flavor and depending on what you order can compliment your meal nicely. In visiting Q BBQ on this past occasion I decided to go for a chicken sandwich. It came on a bun and I got a choice of a side in my case I opted for two orders of hush puppies, as they have some of the best around. When I got my chicken sandwich I noticed a few things, first off I noticed a lot less meat on the sandwich than previous visits. While there was still enough to make a good sandwich this was a bit of a let down. I also noticed a difference in the taste of the meat itself, again it was cooked well but it didn't have the level of smoky flavor it used to. While my favorite item from previous visits had been the ribs, and I didn't try them on this visit, I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed with Q on my most recent visit. Prior to this I probably would have given it five stars, and I'm sure I'll be back again at some point and if I have a better experience, I'll update my review. Until then though I'm listing it as A-ok and giving it three stars. read more

Q-BBQ - chicken sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

This is a CHICKEN WING review based on a take-out order so bear with me. I ordered the 'rubbed wings' that folks keep mentioning because my husband is a freak for wings. AND well, OK, I like 'em too. ;-) He works weird shifts so he's sleeping through Father's Day, thought I'd surprise him with some take out combined with a homemade meal. I must say, I was expecting more from all the mentions of this particular item. I will say that they did not commit the major chicken wing faux paux, i.e., wilted, wiggly skin. And I was disappointed in the 'spicy' Q sauce, spicy for a toddler maybe, not an adult and very sweet. Great texture, crunchy on the outside with no breading and moist inside, but I was expecting more 'wow' from the whole 'rubbed' barbecue taste experience. And I wasn't impressed with the Hush puppies, I found them a rather bland deep fried corn bread. I guess I'm forever spoiled by the down home puppies at Ralph and Kacoo's in New Orleans. Probably the reason for the raves is due to the smoked flavor and they stick to the basic 'wing rules'. But I'm sure hubby will agree, that if you're in La Grange and want the best chicken wings for the price you'll stop by Harry's in Countryside and pig out on their 25 cents chicken wing Tuesday extravaganza. BUT, I will say I'm planning a second dine-in visit for the actual ribs and chicken experience. People seemed pretty darned happy with their orders as I waited for mine. The menu prices looked VERY reasonable and the service was indeed a 3F! read more

Q-BBQ - Rubbed chicken wings, hush puppies and sauce - Barbeque Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

This place must be the "go to" place in La Grange! We came on a Sunday night - we just wanted to get out and do something different. The servers / cashiers were all super friendly. The food was amazing. Bonus that there was a parking lot too - but you can also park up and down the street. Extra bonus they also serve beer! Yay! We had a nice dinner, we enjoyed it! read more

Casual BBQ place. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. Oddly, they will seat you at your table so you don't get to fully choose where you want to sit. Though, you could tell them where you would rather sit if you wanted. We tried the tacos and the 2 meat combo. The tacos are a limited time offer so naturally I had to try them! The order includes 3 tacos with the choice of pork belly, burnt ends, and pulled chicken and served with pickled onions and salsa. The tacos were full of flavor!!! You MUST top it with the pickled onions. It is the perfect acidic addition to help cut the meatiness. Good meatiness but still meaty! The salsa was nice but not particularly memorable. We ordered chicken wings and brisket for the 2 meat combo with Mexican corn and fries. It also comes with 2 hush puppies! The chicken wings were crispy, dry-rubbed, and spicy. Everything you want in a chicken wing! The brisket was tender and juicy! The Mexican corn was spicy, so if you were thinking great side for your kids, you would be wrong! Other Perks: - 3 (sweet, spicy, vinegar) bbq sauces to choose from at your table. - Convenient hand washing station by the counter! - Outdoor seating available. - Food was not too salty. - Dessert available. We ended up having ice cream down the street but they do have dessert. - Parking lot next to the building! read more

Pros: Ribs, corn, fries Cons: fast-food experience feels like a letdown I thought it was an ok experience. The ribs were very good, not charred anywhere and delicious texture. The have a nice selection of sauces: sweet, spicy (which is not spicy), and more of a vinegar taste. Their Mexican Street Corn is a pretty good interpretation and recommended. Fries have a strong texture and also very good. While all the above drives this review towards 5 stars, the experience seemed to fall a bit short. The restaurant's appearance provides the impression of a full service sit-down experience but it's not. Payment happens at the beginning along with the software-promoted tip option--much like a fast-food place. Ribs may only be ordered with the mandatory hushpuppies which are made well but I don't prefer. If you decide you want any additional items, you'll have to stand in line all over again. And at the end you clean your own table, which everyone should do, but it only added to the other minor inconveniences. Service was very friendly and inviting, no concerns at all. I think it's a fine place as long as you know what you're in for and think the price is commensurate. read more

My friends bragged about this place saying this was the best bbq ever we go to the "pickle bar" after we order the bbq sampler as pictured $29.99 which is every meat and 2 people are off it this way we got to sample everything although their meat was good brisket a lil dry and not a good smoke ring Their BBQ sauce is very lackluster you have 3 different kinds sweet spicy and vinegar all of which none I would recommend the sweet is very sweet the spicy is probably made from ghost pepper which is to hot to handle and vinegar is just nasty as nasty can be I am looking for a bold smoky bbq place...I definitely did not find it here save the expensive prices and drive a bit and go to hog wild read more

Q-BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

First time here for some solo lunch! Got some chicken tacos. Pretty good with their Spicy and vinegar sauce. The host/ cashier was very friendly. I was enjoying my lunch and minding my own business. No one else was ready in the restaurant at this time. One employee started mumbling and behavior rudely in a passive manner. I wasn't sure if it was related to me or other issues he might be having. Felt very unwelcomed and unwanted beyond that point. I just quickly ate my delicious tacos and peaced out. Good food but not worth the attitude I got! read more

Well we teetered between 3 and 4 stars and settled on 4! 3 stars was for the establishment setting but 4 for the food! It's pretty small and tables are very close together. But the food was very tasty. You could taste the smoke flavor which was a plus. We got the Papa Q sampler which is probably more for 3 or 4 than 2! We had quite a bit leftover but very handy to go containers are within reach. The brisket and burnt ends were my favorite out of it all! Also the cornbread was top notch, sorry to use this word but it was very, moist. Friendly staff and clean place. Always a plus in my book!! read more

Took the family here for dinner. Was not familiar with the area, and was happy to find an upscale, modern, downtown area. I can understand the other review I saw calling this a Chipotle for BBQ. The seating area is a bit cramped, and although the place was mostly empty, we got seated directly next to another filled table and we had difficulty getting in and out. Notice to management: if the place is empty, give people room to move. On to the food...we ordered a burnt end salad and pulled pork sandwiches (I asked for mine open-face style, which they accommodated). My wife said the salad was tasty, but the burnt ends were too spicy. The pulled pork was decent. The hush puppies that come with the meals are very good. We also got some baked beans, green beans, corn bread, and cole slaw. The sides were ok, but really nothing special. The cole slaw, in particular, was formulaic. Now the sauces...all the sauces were available at the table (bonus!). The best of the sauces is the Carolina vinegar, in my opinion. The sweet Memphis was WAY too sweet, and the Carolina mustard contained Rosemary and Thyme that overpowered the sauce and made it inedible. Another bonus, is they have to-go trays and to-go sauce cups right at the condiment stand. Appreciate that! On the minus side, the only desserts I saw were prepackaged items that were un-inspiring. In the end, I would return if I was in the area and I would explore more of the menu. read more

Q-BBQ - Carolina pulled pork and beans, requested open-faced. - Barbeque Near Me - La Grange, Illinois

The best BBQ around! Always consistent and savory and the portions are more than generous. Any time of year is Q-BBQ time!

Finally, I thought. A BBQ place in the "Burbs" that offers up a range of BBQ that anyone who loves BBQ would salivate for. From Texas Brisket to Baby Back Ribs, to Texas Smoked Sausage and Pulled Pork and Chicken- there is something for everyone at Q BBQ. Pull open the front door of this smallish restaurant located just down from the La Grange theater and the smell will hit you. No really- hit you. You will smell like BBQ for the rest of the day. I think they need a more supportive exhaust system or something as "Eau de smoke" was not really what I was going for. That aside, we walked up to the counter and ordered; pulled pork sandwich with "fresh cut fries" and hush puppies for me, Memphis Chicken wings for him along with the two sides of mac and cheese and coleslaw (they were out of the green beans). You are given a number, find a seat and your food is brought out to you in short order. The ambiance is more fast food than sit down style. A roll of paper towel is on the table along with 4 different sauces. A small pail hangs overhead as a light fixture. And a stack of wood rests outside the front door as a "cue" that something smokey is going on. We grabbed a great table in the front window. While my sandwich was good (large soft roll and tender pork) it wasn't anything notable. Even after I tried all the sauces on the table (Carolina vinegar, Spicy BBQ, Sweet BBQ and S. Carolina Mustard sauce) the sandwich still was pretty basic. And those fries? Eh. They had been held too long and were soggy. Hush puppies really aren't my thing either but they seem to come with everything you order. The Memphis wings were a little better but the mac and cheese side was not good (more noodles than cheese and the Cheez-Its crumbled on top did nothing to help) Lunch for two ran $18 which was pretty cheap given the quantity of the food. Parking is easy (hey- it's the burbs!) with a free lot behind the restaurant. Q BBQ is a solid choice. And since there really isn't a decent BBQ place out this way I would go back for take out the next time I'm "jones-ing" for some ribs and too lazy to run into the city. read more

Did i forget to write a review on this amazing place? Drum roll please...... I LOVE THIS PLACE! My bf and I came here for a yelp event and it was off the chain. Everything was amazing. Their chicken had a different sweetness to it that was pretty good. Their rib tips were very smokey. And, I like how they let you choose what kind of sauce to go with it, whether it be spicey, sweet, or plain bbq! Their green beans were awesome, their hush puppies were addicting, and even their salad made me smile :) . And you know its awesome bbq when the bf says it tastes pretty close to kansas city bbq. I'm very excited to hear from one of the staff that they may be opening a location in naperville right by the bf's place! 5 stars all the way! read more

My wife found this place and we've gone a couple times now. It still doesn't beat our favorite BBQ ever in Smoque (not in a single category from what I can recall) but overall might be the second best BBQ we've found in Illinois. We liked that the menu was a little more expansive with items like burnt ends, hush puppies, and a host of spicy sides items they added this summer like Jalapeño Brussels sprouts. The ribs are very sweet, the rub uses a lot of brown sugar from what I can tell. Parking can be a little tight but the lot shared with Ace Hardware usually seems to have a few spots available. read more

The only place I'll get BBQ when in the burbs. We randomly found this place about 5 years ago and have been going back ever since. We've tried a lot of thing but our favorites are the brisket burnt ends, mac n cheese, hush puppies and of course the spicy bbq sauce. The brisket burnt ends are so flavorful and juicy. The meat is so soft it falls apart with you pick it up. You also know its made fresh daily because it's not oily or chewy. They're burnt to the perfect crisp. We'll get it as a plate or in sliders. The sliders can be upgraded to q-style which adds coleslaw and mozzarella to it which sounds weird but works so well with the spicy bbq sauce and the brisket. The hush puppies are light and filed with whole pieces of corn. You can tell they're made fresh to order because they're not filled with oil or hard to bite into. The mac n cheese is a classic mac n cheese with a ritz cracker topping. The topping is alittle weird at first but it grows on you. The pasta is tender but not over cooked and the cheese sauce is creamy and smooth. Finally the spicy bbq sauce, this brings all the items together. It is spicy tangy and thick. It goes well paired with all the items they sell. They also sell this buy the bottle which we always get suckered into getting. I def recommend checking this place out. It'll become you're new go to spot. Only negative comment I have is that it's pretty pricey. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The food was dry to a basically inedible point. The brisket I got was 90% fatty couldn't do anything with that. Hush puppies also extremely dry. Mac and cheese was so bland, even my 6 year old wouldn't eat it. The hot potato salad would have been good if the bacon was cooked thoroughly. It was still very squishy and fatty. I tried the sauce separately though and those were good. Hot link sausage was pretty good as well. Lots of potential in this place so maybe I could see myself giving it another chance. Just not anytime soon. read more

We have tried many places in Chicagoland and we continue to go back to Q-BBQ because of their sauces!

Well, well, well... I have nothing clever to write about this place. save for: This place is great. Go there now. I usually HATE BBQ sauce-theirs is the best ever, Nice atmosphere. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they have a TOTAL sampler plate which allows you to try EVERYTHING on the Menu. The "Papa Q"--Unless you're a dedicated Chazzer you'll eat off of this one for Three days.

Q BBQ was jam packed with patrons who wanted good bbq. We had the baby back ribs brisket and burnt ends. Along with it we had mac n cheese, mash potatoes, and Q pops. We loved the baby back ribs with memphis bbq sauce and beef brisket. We didn't care too much for their burnt ends. I have had better burnt ends with more flavor and fat. Their burnt ends were just tasting burnt with no other flavors there. read more

Boy and I wanted to eat somewhere close to Brookfield Zoo and we stumbled upon Q-BBQ! I've been to the Naperville location and driven past the Chicago location. We ordered the Papa Q platter, which was a little bit of everything. Highlights? Wings were perfectly crispy, moist and tender. Smoked brisket was juicy. Boy wished he could make his Thanksgiving turkey as tender as theirs. Lovely macaroni and cheese. I don't eat mac and cheese, but found myself taking more than just a small spoonful. Pass? Chicken was dry as I had remembered it. Burnt ends were more-so a mouthful of ash. But the spicy chili aioli was great! Ribs were alright. The meat fell off the bone, but I wish there was more flavor. $30 for a little bit of everything? Sounds good to me! We ate the leftovers for dinner. read more
