"There’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy fall-apart ribs and plump smoked wings at Das BBQ in Grant Park. The huge outdoor area twinkles with string lights and has a performance space that opens up for live shows. There’s even room for your pup to stretch out or for you to squeeze in a cornhole game while you wait for your sweet collard greens. Bring your tailgating crew, gather around a wood barrel table, and enjoy a laid-back lunch or dinner while catching the game on one of the many big screens. The smart move here is to grab a beer to pair with your tender brisket, which will be great. Just skip the cocktails, like the fizzy, club soda-like margarita. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Food Rundown Chicken Taco A solid choice for $4. The soft shell taco is packed with tender smoked chicken and topped with zesty pico. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Collard Greens These brown sugar-sweet greens are probably the best side on the menu. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Potato Salad Thick and heavy on the mayo, the potato salad is decent, but you can easily skip it without missing much. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Smoked Wings A menu highlight. The smoked wings are perfectly seasoned, with a deep smoky flavor that shines through without drying out the meat. photo credit: Amy Sinclair St. Louis Ribs Another great choice. The smoked ribs easily pull from the bone. photo credit: Jacinta Howard Smoked Turkey Plate While the smoky flavor is there, the turkey leans toward bland, making this dish skippable. photo credit: Jacinta Howard Peach Cobbler You get a huge portion that’s perfect for sharing. It’s brown sugar and cinnamon-heavy with crumbles of walnuts on top. Das-A-Rita It’s hard to say why they added fizz to this margarita—it’s like someone accidentally dropped in club soda (or Sprite) and just went with it. Safe to say, it wasn’t necessary." - Jacinta Howard
