I have been going to Lems Barbeque House for many years, the location on S.State St. The Ribs are excellent, as well as the hot links which I really enjoy. You can't beat the combo meal ( Rib tips, links & fries ) all for unde $15.00. Keep up the good work and I will continue to support you with my many visits

The mother ship is actually at 311 E. 75th St. The Lemon family barbecue legend began in 1952 when the transplanted Mississippians opened their first restaurant. Now a civic treasure among the city's honest smoke shacks, Lem's has long upheld the standard against which all Chicago barbecue should be measured. The rib tips, with a higher ratio of meat to gristle than you'll find at most joints, and the center-cut and small-end slabs are finished relatively fast over a relatively hot fire, bucking slow-smoke convention.

Kenny Ribs is the most nastiest food I ever had try. I try there food from a couple location thinking maybe one is better than the other, do you know that they are nasty. If you ask me that is the reason why they don't have many location, like they use too. Prices weren't so bad, but then again who want to eat nasty food for cheap?

As far as ribs and rib tips go, you will not find better BBQ in Chicago. I don't say that lightly. Go there!
