"You need a solid strategy to come here—or at least some patience. In fact, patience is actually the best strategy. This West Loop barbecue spot doesn’t accept reservations, and gets really crowded during peak hours, so expect a wait. Luckily, there’s a huge bar in the center of the restaurant to keep your group occupied, and once you secure a picnic table, the cafeteria-style line moves quickly. Then you have all the time in the world to get the meat sweats while watching the other groups wait for you to finally leave." - adrian kane, john ringor
