Best Ribs

Besides its legendary ribs, Carson's also features barbecued chicken, chops and shrimp.

From the restaurant's website:
"A Chicago institution since 1977, Carson's is the place visited by presidents, America's favorite athletes, stars of TV, the big screen, and literally millions of BBQ devotees. With hearty portions and a no-holds-barred attitude of offering only the finest quality available, Carson's promises to be a fabulous dining experience. For those seeking the best in an undeniably American dining tradition, Carson’s is a must. Founded by famed Chicago restaurateur Chris Carson, and still family owned."

"... let's face it, you don't go to Carson's for the decor. You go for the meat, and they got it, baby, along with some surprisingly good seafood. ... [There] are high-quality ribs, very meaty and well prepared, with clean natural flavors. But my absolute favorite is the tips, which are on Carson's 'secret menu' and must be requested."
