Bice, I've never been.
From the Chicago BBQ thread:
http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308690 Here is my review of Horseshoe.
Ok, so I tried Horseshoe
The good news, Horseshoe serves the best BBQ beef brisket in Chicago.
The bad news, Chicago doesn’t make a good BBQ beef brisket
I did get excited when the waitress first set my dinner on the bar in front of me, there they were, THICK slices of brisket. Woo-hoo, could this be it?!!?
Nope.
As usual for Chicago brisket, there is virtually no smoke flavor and no rub. It was passable but only because all other BBQ beef in Chicago is so terrible. Horseshoe would not make it down South.
If you've never had BBQ beef brisket, I think you'll believe this is ok, but if you've been to Texas, stay away from the brisket here.
Pulled pork was some of the better in town.
