"Heffer is on our best wings and best burgers list, so it’s no surprise that this resident pop-up inside of Whiner Beer at Back Of The Yards just makes great BBQ—period. Staples like ribs, brisket, and pulled pork are all juicy and smoky, and perfectly complemented by sweet coffee or tangy mustard sauces. And with things like chili queso or brisket crunchwraps, the sides and specials aren’t afterthoughts either—every dish has main character energy. The menu rotates, but rather than being a downside, it’s a great excuse to make regular visits." - adrian kane, john ringor
