Started by five regular guys with a love for all things smoked, Smoque BBQ is a must-eat for anyone heading to Chicago. We haven't read much that's as beautiful as the Smoque BBQ Manifesto. From the rub to the sauce, every detail is just how we like it. Succulent St. Louis-style ribs, perfect pulled pork, superb slaw, and a beautiful Brisket sandwich. Located at 3800 N. Pulaski. Oh, and Smoque is BYOB — pack a couple Buds before you come.
