BBQ Restaurants in Chicago
When Guy Fieri rolled into the Windy City, he discovered that Chicago’s BBQ scene is just as bold and diverse as the city itself. Across 3 featured restaurants, the Triple D host found an impressive lineup of smoky, sauce-slathered perfection averaging 4.4 stars.
Leading the pack is Smoque (4.6★), where low-and-slow meets Chicago attitude in every tender bite. Sun Wah BBQ (4.3★) brings a unique Chinese barbecue twist to the scene, featuring their legendary whole roasted ducks and crispy pork. Rounding out the trio is Honky Tonk BBQ (4.2★), a Pilsen neighborhood gem serving up Southern-style ‘cue with a side of live music and good vibes.
All three joints are still firing up their smokers today, proving that Chicago knows how to keep the flames burning and the flavor flowing.
