Sorry Chi-town BBQ fans, it has been awhile since I've dined on BBQ in our area.

I've wanted to try the Smoke Country House BBQ at 1465 W. Irving Park for a long time.

Finally tried it this evening.

Terrible, not bad, but terrible!!!!
I had the Country Platter which is a sampler of the ribs, brisket, pork and turkey.

First of all the whole plate was swimming in BBQ sauce, almost had to fish for the meats.

Ribs were spareribs and were very tough.
Brisket was sliced very thin and lacked any flavor.
Turkey tasted like someone took a turkey roast, sliced it and threw it into the "bowl" of sauce on my plate.
Pork was great texture, but that is the only thing good I can say about it.

As stated, just terrible.

This place used to be called the NN Smokehouse and I had always heard good things about it. I know this location had been closed for awhile, I'm guessing that there are new owners.

Unfortunately for them, they do not know how to do BBQ.

DO NOT GO!
