lillie’s Q bbq – chicago

Good bbq in Chicago alert – Lillie’s Q  in Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood(s) was quite good. We tried a three-meat sample and liked the pork and hot link best. The tri-tip turned out to be more like straight-out steak than smoked brisket. Good but not what we were hoping for.  The collard greens seasoned with chunks of ham and bits of bacon was yummy, as were the sweet potato fries. The ribs good too. And the fried pickles served with ranch dressing (not my choice) turned out to be too good. Beautiful day – at last – here so we ate outside, although the inside of the restaurant is fun – rustic-industrial decor. We will return!
