Smoque BBQ

Best beef brisket sandwich ever. hands down. This place is amazing. Also good chicken and Mac and cheese. Always packed here. My heart stopped when I heard they caught on fire a month ago, and I’m so happy they opened soon after it. It was going to be a real letdown if I was no longer able to eat the beef brisket sandwich anymore

Very fast-paced environment. Surprisingly a great place to get a quick bite. Their service is snappy but well attended. Food is great; their brisket sandwich was well-made and their coleslaw as well. The mac and cheese was a bit underwhelming due to the small size. It was a bit pricey and would've expected a much larger size for the price. Otherwise the food was great.

This dude told me that he wanted to try one Chicago's Best (tv show) Briskets (he wants to try pretty much everything on the show, you know...to see what he thinks!). So I went on their website and found Smoque BBQ to be the most viewer requested and listed as one of the best...people weren't lying. We went here Sunday (before the storm hit) they didn't disappoint on anything. Dude got 1/2 & 1/2 platter with a side of brisket chili, macaroni and slaw; I got sliced brisket platter with a side of mac and cheese, cornbread and slaw (slaw is an automatic side)...they didn't disappoint! I haven't had brisket in awhile and can't compare it to any I've had, hands down the best so far (I'm on a mission to find "another")! The mac and cheese was delicious, especially since I thought it was going to be basic (sorry), cornbread was good and the slaw was good too. Dude said everything was delicious on his plate, said the chili was really good (I don't eat chili personally but, it looked delicious)! The BBQ sauces are good, depending on your liking...they have thick and bold flavor and the thin vinegary flavor. I'll be back and the pictures don't do this place justice! Also, it wasn't crowded when we got there however; they stay busy. People are in and out and delivery drivers from different food apps are there to pickup constantly. Definitely returning!

Been going here for years. Always great food and great service! My fave is the ribs. BBQ beans and Mac & cheese are to die for. I normally hate coleslaw but I LOVE theirs. Great portions and quality for the price.

Consistently excellent. The meats are amazing - smoky, tender and layered flavors. The chopped brisket has all those great charred bits and a nice balance of fat. The sliced brisket was thinly sliced, juicy and tender. My favorite were the baby back ribs. Such complex flavors and just the right chew. I'm a fan of ribs dripping in sauce, but these don't need it. Mind you, the Memphis and Carolina sauces were great, but the ribs stand on their own. We tried the pecan bread pudding, which had crispy pralined pecans and was not overly sweet. Nice. The mac and cheese was fine. Could have had a more cheesy flavor. We went mid-afternoon on a Sunday and didn't have to wait. The staff were all very friendly.
