Review of Russell's BBQ

If you are stuck in Chicago and miss Texas BBQ, or Kansas City or Memphis, this place will stop your jones-ing for BBQ. It's been around FOREVER. The bbq beef or ribs are great as is their coleslaw. Theyve added sweet potato fries...just so good! And top it with 2 corn on the cob. Roll yourself out to ypur car and just go ahhhhhhh! Super family friendly place, 50s 60s music and uber clean & friendly. They even have Blue Moon on draft. It isnt summer for natives if you dont stop at least once. And head east on North Ave. & snag some of the best gelato joints this side of Napoli. Or an Italian ice. Youll know the places by the lines.
