I've passed this place hundreds of times and today I decided to stop in. THAT BRISKET CHANGED MY LIFE. I'm kicking myself for waiting this long to try it, don't be like me, grab your keys now and head straight here.

I was here with a large group, about 20 and everyone loved it here. This is a casual BBQ spot where you order at the front counter and once your food is prepared they will bring it out to you. Seating is plentiful indoor and outdoor. My favorite item from here was the brisket - it was tender, moist and full of flavor. It was very tasty and I'd definitely get this again. I also tried the zucchini fries which were fine. Not the greatest however I do appreciate there being a somewhat 'healthy' vegetable option. My husband tried the rib tips which he said were on the drier side but that didn't stop him from eating the entire entree. He enjoyed how well it was seasoned and full of flavor. Some fan favorites from my group were the rack of ribs and chicken. They raved about how large the portion was and how the flavors were exceptional.

Best brisket I have had in I don't know when! I have been a two times and the services is very consistent.

food smells great, very inviting space... I'd like to see some outdoor seating, it's a beautiful day out here in Chicago, but I'll walk across the street to the Menards and eat over there. It's very nice... My server was kind enough to forget my utensils, so I returned to the restaurant, and restaurant. I asked the follow behind the counter, if it's normal to leave utensils out of takeout orders... I was fairly frustrated and annoyed and, I was about to ask him for some sort of compensation like a free drink, because my entrée and appetizer were $30 just for myself ... The fellow, casually remarked, oh, it's right over there... There are a couple of towers inside the evening space, for the weight staff, and customers I guess... Seems a little out of place to me, but everybody who warned me about eating here was right,

Updating this review from having gone a few more times: 1) the Fried Pork Belly is fantastic and worth every cent 2) Smoked Prime Rib was great 3) If I'd known how amazing the blueberry banana cream pie was I would have ordered 2 more slices 4) The Not Your Fathers Root Beer Float was so delicious 5) The service continues to always be on point, even when it's busy like it was today. We typically have stuck to their events because it's so far away from where we live, but be it their events or just a regular meal - I highly recommend coming to visit Jay and Team - and definitely don't forget Betty Rocker's pies.

Very well prepared meats. Dishes were thoughtful and simple enough to taste the quality of the meat. Baked beans were really good. Highly recommend the brisket. I really liked the quality of the meat and the fact it was not overly sauced or spiced. This allowed the true flavor to come out and showcased the cooking of the meat itself.

BBQ is important to me, in the same way that gills are important to fish, and martyrdom is important to my mother. So, when I say that CCK is some of the best BBQ around, it's coming from a place of deep consideration for me. Husband and wife team up for a rock and roll concept that combines an edgy (but not pushy) atmosphere, friendly service, and mouth-watering, crowd pleasing, slap-yo-momma tastes. A variety of sauces add an element of depth and (slight) heat, and I'd encourage you to add different flavors to each bite to find your own personal nirvana. It was so delicious that I went back the next day and had the same meal, adding on four different net-new dishes to try.

Back again and I had to get my regular Brisket and Sausage!!!! Still as ahhh-mazing as ever! The Brisket melts in your mouth! The Sausage is sooo good. They also have weekly specials that I need to try. So will be back for more! Service is great! Love everyone! Happy eating!
