Honky Tonk BBQ in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.
Since we were in the wedding planning mood, J and I decided to practice for our honeymoon by going out for BBQ….guess where we’re going for the honeymoon 😉 ) Last week, I put a post on Chow.com asking for a good place to eat before a White Sox game. One of the places suggested was a BBQ place a few miles north of The Cell. Unfortunately, the game is at 3:00 but the restaurant doesn’t open until four. I showed the website to J and she suggested we go for dinner one night.
Honky Tonk BBQ is on 18th Street near Racine Avenue in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. We happened to luck out and the one parking meter directly in front of the restaurant was open, so we pulled in and fed the meter. The restaurant is in a very unassuming building that looks like it’s the back side of the grocery store on the corner. The door looks more like a service door than the main entrance, but the address was right and there was an “open” sign lighted in a window, so we assumed the door was right. The steps up are pretty steep and the last step is a doozy if you’re not paying attention.
The restaurant is divided into two rooms. There’s a few tables and a take out window when you walk in. To the left right is another dining room that is a little bit larger with more tables. We weren’t quite sure of procedure. I went to the window and picked up a paper menu, but J noticed the menus on the table. Someone in the kitchen told us to take a seat and a waitress would be right with us.
