Smokin' Notes BBQ - East Peoria

I absolutely loved the food, services was great bbq was amazing. Ribs was done wonderfully. Pulled pork was really good. Baked beans didn't really care for but everyone has their own taste it is worth a try. Sampler platter was really good too. Onion rings taste like long john silvers. Bbq wings was really good. And the pulled pork. They had their own bbq sauce and it was really good as well. I will be back.

Finally opened back up after a super long hiatus... So stoked!!!
This place has the best ribs anywhere within a 200mi radius. Chicken and brisket are also 🔥🔥🔥 and their sauce is amazing. The okra, yams, and onion rings are all great. Not just some average lame BBQ place, for sure.
Super affordable compared to their competition.
This location seems cleaner and is a bit bigger than the old joint on Sterling in Peoria as well.

Excellent on every aspect, we were greeted by Drew, and he was our server. I honestly can't remember the last time I had such good service. I had a grilled chicken breast and my friend had pulled pork. I also got to try Collard Greens for the first time. I highly recommend this BBQ and the music was excellent too.

The food was amazing. The pulled pork was moist and the brisket is amazing. The Union Rings are recommended they were great. Also service is great we got our food fast and they were really nice and attentive. We’ll be going back again.

Our office ordered lunch from here recently and everyone was blown away. Each of the sandwiches was served on a bun that was both buttered and toasted. The brisket was tender and delicious -- with a solid smoky flavor that didn't overpower the meat. The bbq baked were some of the best I've had.

I have to point out that the staff was not only courteous but also incredibly friendly. It's refreshing to be treated like a valued customer and not just order #643756.

Seriously this place is awesome and I can't wait to go back
