kinda sad when it was all gone. I still cherish it's memory, kinda like you would a childhood pet that was once a important and close part of your life but is now gone forever /sigh.... If you like ribs and great brisket you have to check this place out. I'm looking forward to going back as soon as I can to try out some of their other items. I stopped in at lunch time on a Tuesday and found nearly every chair filled with good, solid northwest Chicago stock. The kind of guys who wear Haggar dress slacks, collared shirts, and Bluetooth earpieces. The kind of guys who always "have a guy"...and their fathers, the "guys" that other guys have. "Indipindint CANtrakerz." Not that this, the joint's 1,630th review, is going to be the tipping point for you, but Smoque's darn tasty. Well-smoked baby backs. Particularly tasty slaw. All-you-can chug fountain drinks. $18.01 with tax for a half-slab, slaw, two sides and a drink. Nice. If I lived off the Blue Line or commuted up the Kennedy, I'd
be wearing out the chairs in this place. As a Lincoln Parker, though, I doubt that I will be making the trek again... unless that guy I got takes me over DARE to take a look at a few of his siding jobs. I have been to Rudy's BBQ in Texas multiple times (the gold standard against which to judge all other BBQ) and I have to say that Smoque has nailed it! But before we get to the awesome food, here were a few notable things - 1) on a weeknight, we walked into a packed restaurant with reasonable wait, to both get a table and our food (~10-15 min). 2) AWESOME SMELLS coming at you from every direction, torturing my starving boyfriend. 3) it's BYOB - don't forget. 4) Their awareness of TX BBQ and Rudy's in general is apparent by the fact that they actually get their sausage from Rudy's - a good sign for things to come! Now, anyone will tell you that I am very picky when it comes to brisket. I grew up in TX and while I have had some amazing BBQ pulled pork in the midwest and northea
st, I haven't found many places whose BBQ brisket provides the same lean, smoky, tender meat-eating experience. Smoque does. And also, there was the tasty BBQ sauce, HUGE portions (mac & cheese, peach cobbler, vinegar cole slaw) all shared between two people and it was more than enough, we were stuffed. Now, I haven't yet tried the more "hot and trendy" joints (BellyQ, Bub City) in Chicago to compare, but can say with all honesty, that Smoque is the real deal. Came here on a Friday night and thankfully we beat the dinner time rush. Line was fast and efficient. This is definitely a take out joint and not a place to enjoy a nice dinner, but if you must dine in, you will find a decent place to sit and the bus boys are friendly and attentive. Now on to the food..The star of the show was definitely the brisket, it had to be the best I've ever tasted. The cole slaw was great and I usually do not care for cole slaw, they make it with vinegar and no mayo which is a plus I was not cra
zy about the St Louis ribs and the baby backs were slightly better as the meat was too tough for me. The mac and cheese was okay and the baked beans were too runny, but they did pack a good flavor. All I can do is cast my eyes down upon what should have been the best meal of my life and ask, why? Smoque, you have indeed forsaken me, and forgiveness from me is not easy to come by. I wanted to like everything about you but I just couldn't do it. If you turned out to be less than perfect, I would have rounded up for you, Smoque. But, I have too much disappointment.
