Our Top Pick
Smoke Daddy - Wrigleyville
A high-traffic BBQ spot that rewards ordering a brisket-and-ribs spread.
Notable Picks
8.2
A Wrigleyville BBQ room that’s best when you order for range instead of piling onto one heavy item. The move is a platter strategy—brisket plus ribs—so you get the best signal from the pit without overcommitting to sides.
Must-Try Dishes:
Taste of the Daddy, Baby Back Ribs, Mac Daddy
What makes it special: A high-traffic BBQ spot that rewards ordering a brisket-and-ribs spread.
Worthy Picks
#2
The Piggery
7.8
A sports-themed Lakeview bar-and-grill that leans heavy on pork, with ribs and pulled-pork plates as the most reliable BBQ-adjacent plays. Not a pitmaster destination, but it can be a high-leverage move for casual hangs when you keep the order focused on ribs and one pork-driven starter. Note: the restaurant has announced it will close on January 18, 2026.
Must-Try Dishes:
Full rack ribs, Pulled pork sandwich, Pulled pork nachos
What makes it special: A pork-forward neighborhood spot with ribs as the main draw.
