Barbecue Restaurant

Chicago's barbecue restaurants spread across zips instead of clustering in one strip. Out of 190 listings citywide, zip 60616 leads with 10, followed by 60614 and 60618 at 9 each, then 60647 with 8. Smaller pockets sit in 60607, 60619, and 60620 with 5 apiece, and 60610 rounds things out with 4. So check a zip near you before assuming you have to cross town.

Most listings include a phone number, and a large share list a website too, so calling ahead is usually possible. None are marked verified. Paid placements get a Sponsored label, and this category has none right now, so you're browsing plain directory order, not a promoted lineup. Run one of these spots and spot a wrong number or dead link? You can claim the listing and fix it, so a Chicago diner reaches you instead of a dead end. Call two or three near your zip before deciding where to eat.
