After going to Lillie's Q in Chicago, I wonder if I may have found my favorite BBQ place, period. I like it better than the Salt Lick, which is saying something.

Homemade sauces for Carolina, Memphis, and Kansas City style BBQ - check.

I had the ribs, which DIDN'T fall off the bone - intentionally. And they were sublime. The sides were also outstanding. Best sweet potato fries I've ever had, bar none.

And an amazing beer list that includes a brew custom made for Lillie's Q by Chicago's own Metropolitan Brewing Co. Also they (get this) make their own moonshine in two stills behind the bar. And drinks are served in mason jars for that down home touch.
