Lem's Bar-B-Q

Lem's Bar-B-Q is Chicago's oldest black-owned barbecue restaurant, considered a true culinary treasure of the city.

It is famous for its unique ribs prepared in a unique 'aquarium' smokehouse oven, which gives the meat a unique smoky flavor. The secret sauce, whose recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, complements the iconic dishes.

The menu also features delicious fried chicken and spicy sausages. The restaurant has won numerous awards, including the prestigious James Beard Award in the America's Classics category.
