11 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Herrin

“Very much a friendly small town restaurant with a good sized menu reminiscent of southern blue plate. Special meat in three restaurants with things like barbecue, chicken and dumplings, daily specials, pies of the day. Very friendly and accommodating weight staff, caters to local clientele. Great and quick drive-thru as well for all of their menu items. I highly recommend it. Seating area is not large but adequate.Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly!“

“Been wanting to try Blazing Trails Texas BBQ for awhile now and finally got to get out there. Let's start with all the good. The prices are on point. It has been the best Q I've had in southern Illinois other than mine. ( I'm kinda biased) the sauce was great all the meat was good when I was all I did order all the meat. Only did 2 sides apple slaw was good. The smoke Mac and cheese had good flavor but noodles a little over cooked for myself. The bad They are only open 2 days a week to start. Then and it's hard to keep turkey moist but it was good. So I would recommend great atmosphere great people and good food.“

“I’m not the best at pictures lol but we got 2lbs of Brisket today, as well as a brisket sandwhich(didn’t get a pic of that) and a pulled pork sandwich from Dave's BBQ & Smokehouse. Delicious as always! My husband and I have tried tons of bbq places and Dave’s has spoiled us. Some of the bbq we’ve tried other places is good but we always say it’s not Dave’s! We had them cater our wedding and everyone LOVED the pulled pork! I love their Mac and cheese, banana pudding, pulled pork, sloppy pig, brisket and ribs! I wish they weren’t just a food truck because their food is our favorite!“

“Diner atmosphere, but felt friendly and cozy. I came to write this review about the pie because OH MY GOODNESS was that the best lemon meringue I've had in years!Also had the catfish and Texas potatoes. Great food. Our waitress was so sweet and personable. Well done! :)“

“Hands down the best cheese burger I’ve had in a minute. I ordered a double cheeseburger with fries. Also order nacho cheese to dip my fries. I would have gave five stars but my Pepsi drink was flat and not carbonated . All you can taste was the syrup.“

“The office I work at frequents Riley's every few weeks. Today was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. All 3 of us ordered the cheeseburger lunch special, which includes a drink. Each meal was special ordered as we do not all love the same things. Everything came out perfect! We also ordered the lemon meringue cheesecake. If you have the chance to order this, PLEASE DO! It was phenomenal. The staff is always SUPER friendly and eager to help. They are quick and super efficient. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Riley's!“

“Celebrated my birthday with the family. Had an awesome time! The server that took care of us was very nice, kept our glasses full, and took care of us the entire time. Food was excellent. Did not hear any complaints. There was a total of 19 of us, including a 6 week old baby. Will definitely return!Kid-friendliness: Kids were able to draw and color until the food came.“

“First, the pros. Once you get the food, it's a great experience. The steaks are always cooked to order, the salmon has a nice char and seasoned perfectly, the bread rolls are endless, and the honey butter spread is to die for for. The lights are slightly dimmed, which helps with mood and headaches.Now, the cons. The music is too loud for our taste. On Friday nights, when we are trying to decide where to eat, many times we have ruled out Roadhouse, only because of the volume of the music. It gets worse near the bar and in the center of the restaurant closer to the bar. It's literally migraine inducing for me and my wife. We have been there when the music was at a tolerable level, and that made things all the better. But, like I was saying, the food is so good that the reward sometimes outweighs risk. Lastly, while our orders always taste great, getting them the way we ordered sometimes doesn't happen. Roadhouse is always busy, and there's always a wait, even when you get on the app to try to get ahead of the crowd. Maybe that accounts for the mistake (maybe made by the kitchen or the waitresses - we just don't know).Overall, I do love Texas Roadhouse, and the food is worth the weight, but you may want to try to get a spot near a window and away from the bar if your music volume tolerance is low.“

“Amazing staff with great attitudes & attentiveness was on point. It was my birthday & even though we were the only party the staff were genuinely excited about our little celebration. They mentioned new additions to the menu so I happily tried one: beef hot pot. 5 stars on the broth for starters bc I could drink that juice for breakfast if it were possible!All the ingredients were on point except the potatoes could've been cut just a little thinner so they could be fully cooked through. 4.9 stars though, only mentioning the potato fix bc staff were clear about wanting honest feedback to better fuel any needed improvement. I'm happy to oblige as I see a lot of potential here (a rare compliment these days).Commendable and impressed are just a couple of words that come to mind when recalling my lovely first night at Chop Kitchen. I'll admit I had pretty much already resolved to a basic birthday family meal before the night even began but, to my surprise, we returned home with bright spirits & even brighter smiles (n2m full stomachs). Will be dining again soon, again: thanks for a lovely birthday.Kid-friendliness: Japanese sodas!“
