Smoque
- Chicago, USA
- Restaurants › Bbq
This squeaky-clean, family-friendly barbecue joint is all about slow-cooked meats. The baby-back and St Louis–style ribs are what line ’em up: they’re smoked over oak and applewood and soaked in a tangy, slightly sweet sauce. The brisket and pulled pork aren’t far behind in making carnivores swoon (including Guy Fieri, who featured it on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives ). Brisket-flecked baked beans, cornmeal-crusted mac ’n’ cheese, freshly cut fries, citrusy coleslaw and peach cobbler round out the trim menu. BYOB.

Twin Anchors
- Chicago, USA
- Restaurants › Bbq
Twin Anchors is synonymous with ribs, and Chicagoans can get violent if you leave town without sampling some of the smoky, tangy-sauced baby backs. The meat drops from the ribs as soon as you lift them. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so you’ll have to wait outside or around the neon-lit 1950s bar, which sets the tone for the place. An almost all-Sinatra jukebox completes the supper-club ambience.

Honky Tonk BBQ
- Chicago, USA
- Restaurants › Bbq
Art-colored walls and a swell beer and wine list separate Honky Tonk from its Chicago barbecue brethren. It’s a fun atmosphere, with live country music some nights and imaginative, changing side dishes like candied bacon and empanadas with shiitake mushrooms. That’s all gravy, though, for the signature wood-roasted pork, beef and chicken.
