County Barbeque

"County BBQ’s smoked wings are delectable. Now that that’s out of the way, we can discuss how Bonni Cameron, a former employer, took over the Little Italy operation from Chicago restaurateurs David Morton and chef Michael Kornick. Those two brought over Erick Williams, who went on to open Virtue, to develop the restaurant’s menu. Cameron has maintained County BBQ’s excellence with rib tips, those wings, and more." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"County BBQ in Little Italy has had some ups and downs, including closing for two years after a fire and losing their original BBQ chef. Despite all that, their BBQ continues to be delicious. The St. Louis-style ribs are served dry, and heavily coated with a rub that’s so tasty on its own you won’t feel the need to add any sauce. And while we love the meat, make sure you order plenty of sides - particularly the corn pudding, pork puppies (hush puppies filled with cheese and pulled pork), and mac and cheese." - adrian kane

"County BBQ in Little Italy has had some ups and downs, including closing for two years after a fire and losing their original BBQ chef. Despite all that, their St. Louis-style spare ribs continue to be delicious. They’re served dry, and heavily coated with a rub that’s so tasty on its own you won’t feel the need to add any of their sauces. But if you insist on adding a sauce, it should be their mustard-y Carolina." - adrian kane

Their smoked pastrami is tender and has the perfect amount of seasoning. And while we love the meat, make sure you order plenty of sides - particularly the corn pudding, pork puppies (hush puppies filled with cheese and pulled pork), and mac and cheese. Come here for a casual weeknight dinner, or with a group during the summer. That way you can sit at one of their large picnic tables and eat your BBQ outside." - Adrian Kane

"County BBQ offers rib tips and other barbecue specialties, led by Chef Erick Williams. The restaurant reopened last year after a fire and showcases Williams' barbecue expertise." - Ashok Selvam
