Park does not have a ton of destination dining, but between Smoque and Thai Aree House the ones they have are nothing to turn up your noses at! Best barbecue, not only in Chicago but compared to everything we had on our trip to Memphis and Nashville. Literally, my boyfriend and I went to Tennessee for a week, then visited Smoque after we came back and he was like "This is the best." Really puts the south to shame. I remember not only was the food delicious, but that the staff was kind and friendly. I can't remember what happened - I think because we came right when they opened they didn't have one of their side dishes ready yet, so they gave us a different side for free and then made sure to bring out some of what we wanted once it was ready. Great customer service! It's now on his list of "go to" places every time he comes to visit. I wish I could remember what exactly we had but alas, we visited in January! But I remember distinctly that we felt it was the best we'd ever had. Sorry, Memphis. Smoque is one of the most popular barbecue restaurants in the city. They don't take reservations, they seat and move people in and out. If you are going during dinner plan on standing in a line all the way out the door and weather will not scare people away. They will ask you how many are in your party if you are dining in and you will have a chance to order before being seated. Usually by the time you order a table is made available for you. You will be given a number so it is important that you keep your ears open as it can become quite loud in this restaurant. The staff is very professional and they know how to keep people moving. I've had the pulled pork sandwich and the sliced brisket sandwich with all of the different sides. Everything on this menu is exceptional. Even the slaw is good for someone who doesn't really care for coleslaw. The meat is savory and tender with just the right amount of sauce. They offer you a cup of additional sauce if you want to add more. All the food is served on a metal cafeteria like plate with a sheet up cooking paper. A nice touch to the scrappy eat with your hands kind of meal. Smoque can be kind of expensive but at least you are getting what you pay for. For $10-15 you will not be disappointed as this is by far the best BBQ in the city. The first time I went to Smoque, I was terrified. Terrified that they'd run out of beef brisket. You see, I had gone to a different 'Q joint the week before, and they had run out...so justifiably terrified (or just certifiably food crazy). My fears were unfounded as they had beef brisket a plenty. Ya'll (no? ya'll doesn't work here? sorry, I'll never do that again) are missing out if you haven't tried Smoque. True to its name, the bbq'd meats definitely have that distinct smokey goodness. I tried a little bit (ok...a lotta bit) of everything, and I definitely was not disappointed. And it's not just the meats, it's the sides too! Definitely one of my favorite BBQ joints in the city. Just be prepped to wait for a table if
