"Other barbecue restaurants on Chicago’s South Side may have been doing it for longer, but there’s a certain energy from Sanders BBQ Supply Co. in Beverly that separates it from other smoked meat specialists. The ribs might be the best in the city, and there’s moist brisket and great side dishes. Also, don’t skip the brisket burger, a thick patty that is the perfect antidote for folks tired of smash burgers. There are also two patio areas. Must-try dish: The beef ribs are a Saturday-only item, so come hungry." - Ashok Selvam
