Fat Willy's Rib Shack

This Logan Square rib shack is one of the best places for barbecue in Chicago. Dig into hearty portions of smoked baby back ribs, chicken, and pulled pork and beef brisket sandwiches. All meat selections are slathered with Willy's spicy house-made sauce. For dessert, try New Orleans-style chocolate pecan pie with whipped cream. Seating is more plentiful than it once was, so feel free to eat in. Lunch specials are also available.
