Sanders BBQ Offers Irresistible Smoked Meats in Beverly | Eater Chicago

"Building on the South Side’s storied smoked-meats tradition, this top-of-the-scene spot delivers deeply satisfying ribs, brisket, and sausages that showcase different regional styles. The $50 platter (serves 2–4) is my move—it packs brisket, pulled pork, ribs, a sausage link, and two sides, with mac and cheese and collard greens offering pure comfort and enough leftovers for solo diners or pairs. The St. Louis–style spare ribs rank among the city’s best, coated in a dry rub that forms a smoky bark; the pork clings to the bone yet stays tender and juicy, and four barbecue sauces are on hand if you like them wet, with the spicy sauce adding a welcome kick. The Texas-style beef rib is pricey at $42 but worth it—a colossal, shareable slab that pulls apart effortlessly, with a peppery crust and richly marbled meat. When the weather cooperates, I head to the peaceful back patio under the sun shade sail, and on weekends I arrive before 10:30 a.m. to beat the pre-opening line—popular items tend to sell out by 3 p.m." - Jeffy Mai
