OUR STORY:

101 BBQ started with a simple dream — to bring real Texas-style barbecue to the Midwest, done the right way and shared the way good food always should be.


What began as a passion for fire, smoke, and patience turned into a calling. The kind that means waking up early, tending the pit low and slow, and never cutting corners. Because great BBQ isn’t rushed, it’s earned.


At 101 BBQ, everything we serve is built around prime cuts, honest techniques, and bold flavor. Our meats are slow-smoked until they’re tender, juicy, and full of character... the kind of BBQ that speaks for itself before you ever touch the sauce.


And about that sauce; it’s not just an afterthought. Our award-winning BBQ sauce was crafted to complement, not cover up, the meat. Rich, balanced, and packed with flavor, it’s the result of years of tinkering, tasting, and getting it just right.


We’re proud to bring a little piece of Texas to the heart of the Midwest! A place where friends gather, families eat well, and everyone leaves full and happy. Whether you’re here for brisket, hot links, or just that unmistakable smell of smoke in the air, you’re always welcome at 101 BBQ.


HONEST FOOD. GOOD PEOPLE. NO SHORTCUTS.

We came in from out of town and this location was recommended to us. Very glad we took the recommendation! First of all, they were so kind in there! They talked to us, gave us our options of what was left, and suggested calling ahead next time. The food was delicious and well priced. The ribs fell off the bone perfectly, the mac and cheese was gooey and flavorful, but the potatoes were my favorite! We will definitely be back.We came in from out of town and this location was recommended to us. Very glad we took the recommendation...

I am pretty picky when it comes to BBQ, and in my opinion this is easily the best in the chicago land area. Quite possibly the best in Illinois. The prices are a little high, but for the time, cost, knowledge and quality of ingredients that it takes to make BBQ like this, its justified. I come every weekend and haven't had anything bad yet. The current seating is not ideal for large groups (4+) but im sure that will be remedied in the near future.I am pretty picky when it comes to BBQ, and in my opinion this is easily the best in the...

I've seen several Facebook ads in the community groups and was in the area and we say the smokers going and said now is the time to stop in. Lisa helped us navigate the menu. We ordered ribs, rib tips, turkey and pork belly. Everything was so good. Fresh, tender and juicy. It was really important to my husband and I that the meat came unsauced and Lisa explained that they don't sauce their meat, bonus👍. We can't wait to return 😀I've seen several Facebook ads in the community groups and was in the area and we say the smokers...
