Soul & Smoke - Avondale at Rockwell on the River

Barbecue restaurant · Avondale

"D’Andre Carter and Heather Bublick have slowly created a barbecue empire in Chicago with restaurants in suburban Evanston and a space along the Chicago River in Avondale. The brisket, moist and well-spiced, is among the best in Chicago, proving the Midwest isn’t just about links, chicken, and ribs when it comes to smoked meat. But fans of spare ribs won’t be disappointed, and the smoked link is a revelation. Being Chicago, it’s not a true experience without rib tips, and outside along the river is a great place to enjoy the messy delicacy." - Ashok Selvam
