Bar-b-Q?

[cubbiebluestew]

Mrs. Cubbiebluestew and I visit Chicago on occasion and she is partial to ribs.  I can give advice about where to go in the SF Bay Area, but what about Chicago?

I always liked Leon's on the South Side, don't know if it's still there...

I recommend...

Twin Anchors (Sedgewick, just north of North Ave. (1600))
Biasetti's on Irving Park Road near Ashland
Carson's Ribs (there's 1 downtown, and one in West Ridge (Peterson & Clark)
Russels Barbeque (they're in the 'burbs.  I'm familiar with one in Rolling Meadows on  Algonquin Rd)

Yah, Leon's is still going.  Take-out only, if I recall properly.  I'm partial to Ribs'n'Bibs in Hyde Park, but then again, I'm stuck in Hyde Park.

Moment of silence for the Hickory Pit on the South Side, which is no longer, I believe.....

Good time to revive this, since our place is on the market, and we hope to be on either the North side or in the Evanston/Skokie area by mid-May.

Where can a man score a good rack of ribs, with sides that don't suck?

Like some have already said, Carsons. The au gratin potatos are where it's at. If you want to take a ride, there's a place in Westmont called Uncle Bub's. Good, big sides and very solid bbq.

Fat Willy's rib shack 

2416 W. Schubert
Chicago, IL 60647  Just west of Western just north of Fullerton, across from the AMC Theater, has amazing food, brisket is fantastic and really really good sides (the 8 bean baked beans or the mac and cheese to note 2)

Cool - I've got some relatives in that whole Hinsdale/Westmont/DG/Naperville area, gotta have something to eat, since there's no more Cock Robin

Sadly, the Carsons in Edgebrook/West Ridge is no longer.  The one downtown is still there.

Does anybody remember the N.N. Smokehouse?  It used to be on Irving, near Ashland I want to say.  I believe they moved a few miles west back in '99-2000, but I'm not sure if they're still there.  That place was fan-freaking-tastic.

And Pancho?  Every time I look at your avatar, I get hungry.  Is that the insane Hardee's burger?

The Patio at 75th Street and Kingery (Rte. 83).  There are actually three, but this one puts you right by said area.
