The food was good, but the coleslaw was a bit small. The menu was cool, but hard to read. The service was great as there was (usually) a person at the counter. Although there was nobody else there, it took roughly 5 minutes to get 2 meals after we ordered them. The atmosphere was amazing as you could smell the bbq, amazing music, and an overall great design. If the coleslaw was bigger and the menu was more direct so I could read it, then it would be 5 stars. Overall I still suggest this place if you are in the area.Parking: Really the only parking in on the street, which there's not a lot of if it's packed.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a ramp at it that leads into the building.

Tried for the first time tonight. Cant say enough good things!!! Everything was delicious❤️ I had the smoked chicken with slaw and taters, husband had the brisket and turkey with baked beans and corn bread. Chicken was perfectly smoked and juicy. Brisket had perfect smoke ring and was also juicy and delicious. All the sides were terrific, and corn bread was perfect! Young man that waited on is was super helpful with a great smile and sense of humor? Will definitely be going back soon!

This is a very sad review. My daughter and my husband both had reflux after eating this barbecue. As for me, I thought it was pretty good, nothing to write home about. It's definitely not worth a trip to Lacon. If you happened to be in Lacon, go for it. Maybe you'll have my luck.

Wow. No disrespect to Smoking Pit in Peoria, but FroSmokes has made it to the top of my list for BBQ in Central Illinois. Mouthwatering brisket, perfectly smoked. It was served with a side of sweet BBQ sauce, which was also delicious. The meat can stand on its own, but I do appreciate a good BBQ sauce. For sides, I chose the cheesy potatoes and the broccoli/cauliflower salad. I love a place that has amazing entrees and equally amazing sides. You could make a meal out of the sides...the perfect cheesy flavor, not greasy, served piping hot...the broccoli/cauliflower salad...the perfect "healthy" side to accompany the meat and potatoes. Just the right amount of sweetness, not too heavy on the dressing. FroSmokes is more than worth the drive from Peoria to Lacon. This will be in my regular restaurant rotation for sure.
The bbq was fantastic, nachos were great and the cheesy potatoes were some of the best I have ever had, can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!! Service was also great, friendly staff that greet you right away, eager to help, and they move things along quickly!! We will definitely be returning in the very near future!!!
