The best bbq in Chicago (I've tried quite a few).
Honestly better than even some of the southern bbq I've had. And the staff is incredible!

It's alright, but honestly, for the hype? It's just not so amazing that I'd stop the car again.
Be the first to ReplyFood was good, service was great.
My cousin wanted to just add on a taste of the 1/4 slab of St. Louis Ribs but we were told it is not available then the cashier added the full slab on our bill instead then when we asked if we can just have the small portion she changed it to 1/2 slab. Not sure why we didn't get the 1/4 slab only because we only wanted to try out a small portion. Dave was definitely very accommodating and showed excellent customer service.

This is the absolute best SMOKEHOUSE BBQ Joint in all of Chicago. PERIOD. From the taste and portions of the food, the friendly and quick service, and the way the food is prepared, I simply love this place. The brisket is the absolute best. I think they smoke it for 14 hours and you can tell. I usually get mine with a little fat on it, but even when I don't, its very tender and juicy. The sides are decent. . . wish the mac and cheese wasn't so firm. The hand cut fries are great and they give you a very nice portion, and the brisket chili is great (I think its seasonal). You won't go home hungry and all of the employees are nice!
Be the first to ReplyFor (at least) 25 years, BBQ Baby Back Ribs were my death
For (at least) 25 years, BBQ Baby Back Ribs were my death row, last meal, meal.Somehow during the pandemic those ribs lost first place to a 3 lb. New England lobster with drawn butter. I don't know how that happened, but it happened; that is, until tonight.Smoque's baby backs retook my death row meal.Smoque is this wildly popular very good BBQ restaurant in Irving Park. Their menu reads like any other Q joint that has chicken, ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sausage. The sides they offer really complement these dishes.The price of your protein gives you a cup of cole slaw and two other sides.This night my wife and I shared a full rack of baby backs, with brisket chili, baked beans and of course, slaw.Let's start off with the ribs:They were so damn good I actually rolled my eyes, at first bite. They had this perfect char on the outside and a juice packed inside like I've never had before! Oh, yeah, let's talk about my "before". I've had ribs in over 3 dozen states and Smoque definitely made my top 5 list. But, back to my ribs: Their sauce was an added treat along with the size of these beauties.I knew I wasn't going to leave this place hungry. The baked BBQ beans were wonderful. The cole slaw had a nice vinegar taste that neutralized the fat in the pork. But their brisket chili - Wow was it good. It was so good, I'm going to buy a gallon of it for Super Bowl Sunday next year. I'm well aware of the number of BBQ restaurants there are in Chicago. I know, because I've eaten at eight them and I haven't scratched the surface.But when I find BBQ this good, I don't have to look any further (in Chicago) than Smoque!
Be the first to ReplyJust try it.
You won't regret it. The brisket was fantastic. Tender and flavorful. Love the atmosphere. 10/10 would come here again.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious brisket sandwich and coleslaw! Brisket burnt ends
Delicious brisket sandwich and coleslaw! Brisket burnt ends were a tad salty but overall the meat was tender and flavorful and the roll was perfectly chewy and slightly sweet. And both sauces I ordered were great (Carolina and Memphis)! Cornbread was not too great so next time I'll stick with coleslaw or try a different side.

This place has the best bbq in Chicago!! Everything I ate was delicious. I love the Watermelon tea.
Be the first to ReplyWe are in town visiting family.
Decided to order online for a large family gathering. So why the 2 stars ? which is being nice. I was placing a order online for pickup, the brisket by the pound has a option you have to make before it will add to cart. The deal breaker on our large order that would have been $200 + is having to choose chopped or sliced. Not a problem if you want chopped brisket. Sliced is what we always have . There is a added $3 fee for scliced. Yes you read correctly. It is not about $3 but how money grabbing are you to implement a fee to slice the brisket that no other bbq place I have ever been too throughout the USA over 40 yrs has ever wanted to charge. Hire someone who is business smart and fire the self appointed genius who thought this is a good idea. Read your reviews, your not as popular as you were over 10 yrs ago.

Best barbecue in the city! We have been eating here for years and the taste and quality are consistently amazing.
Be the first to ReplyDo not get their ribs! It is so tough and not that good.
Their pulled pork is tasteless. Their brisket is their only main item that's yummy. As far as sides their max and cheese and cole slaw are not bad and peach cobbler is another go-to for dessert.

SMOQUE has changed a lot since a few years ago, to say nothing of when it opened. Hospitality there is still good but now with smaller portions, no slaw included, everything à la carte now.Inflation has hit at SMOQUE and the value went down.Pulled pork is excellent, baby back ribs are excellent but were served luke warm. Brisket is first class. Same SMOQUE just with some adjustments to garner higher profit. FACT: Still the best BBQ house in Chicago.
Be the first to ReplyGreat food.
Amazing staff. Have been coming&for years Definitely recommend. A little pricey but well worth it

If i could give Smoque 10 stars i would! I tell all my friends, coworkers and family about them because they ARE the best bbq in Chicago. Smoque is my favorite restaurant. Henry, Maria, Alberto and others i can't remember now make you feel like family. The food is delicious, we are obsessed with the brisket tacos available Tue-Thur. The fries, mac and cheese, cornbread and pecan pudding are our go tos. Henry put us on the st louis ribs and the pecan pudding. Thanks to his recommendations we are always trying new things on the menu. We find ourselves at Smoque at least once a week, if you are in Chicago it is a must try.
Be the first to ReplyVery vinegary.
Not my cup of tea. Prefer meatier and sweeter ribs. Not a repeat.Unfortunately I did not care for these ribs even though several friends do
Be the first to ReplyEasiest 5 stars ever.
Looked so busy upon pulling up that my girlfriend and I were already considering other options. We got in the door, placed our order, and the staff hurried to clear a table for us so there was no wait. We got a pulled pork sandwich (the meat melted and the roll was respectfully substantial to hold up to the sauce + meat) and a full rack of St. Louis ribs (didn't try the baby back but these HAVE to be the way to go).Cole slaw isn't typically something to rave about, but when it is (like it is at Smoque, with a vinegar dressing and pickled (?) red onions), you can always expect a stellar meal. As for the other sides, the Mac and cheese was the star - I would opt to swap out the brisket chili and corn bread next time, but they stood up to other bbq joints no doubt. And for the #1 reason why we'll be back - this is one BBQ spot that actually gives you enough mf sauce. The 'thick + spicy' ;) is no doubt the best of em all.
Be the first to ReplyGood brisket.
Slightly under-salted but would rather have that than too much. I'm not a sauce+brisket person, preferring to let the meat stand by itself. Very welcoming staff.
