Opening in February 2008 and winning an award for best Chicago BBQ that same year, Smokin' Joe's offers daily selections of "homemade, hickory-smoked heaven." A favorite at Smokin' Joe's is the beef brisket, and the menu claims that even Texans don't make one better. Pulled pork, ribs and chicken are also offered to satisfy a BBQ craving, however, the store also caters to herbivores with a selection of salads. Delivery, take-out and eat-in are all options. Smokin' Joe's also does catered lunches.
