"Great BBQ and live music all week. That's the draw. Honkey Tonk is a 2fer. I'm no BBQ connoisseur, but I have tried most everything on the menu and found all of it pretty awesome. Get the brisket chili that comes with mac & cheese in it." - Faust
"Honky Tonk BBQ in Pilsen rebranded as The Tonk in 2023 but it still offers the same Memphis-style meats you can enjoy while listening to live roots, jazz and swing music. Dig into brisket, pulled pork and smoked chicken topped with gluten-free Chicago Sweet or Tangy Memphis sauce. Carryout orders can be placed here." - Sam Nelson
"Pitmaster Willie Wagner honed his skills on the competition circuit before opening a Wild West-themed smoked meats destination in Pilsen. His Memphis-style, dry-rubbed barbecue includes brisket, baby back and St. Louis ribs, smoked chicken, and some of the city’s finest pulled pork." - Ashok Selvam
"Honky Tonk has two things everyone can rally behind: BBQ food and live music. If your group can’t agree on that, then you need new friends." - sam faye
"If you want BBQ, Honky Tonk is delivering and offering curbside pickup." - adrian kane
