KeeNisha FoxMarch 4, 2016The ribs are off the chain, & the Bbq brisket sandwich amazing. Coleslaw, Baked beans are good Hands down one of the best Bbq spots I've tried in a long time. I'll requirement to everybody. Plz go try
Jay WhiteMarch 2, 2014Great BBQ for a North Side establishment...ate during the superbowl and feel in love...im a south sider and we know our rib shacks (lems 75th) so this place gets 2 thumbs up in my book check them outUpvoted 4 weeks ago- MikeApril 7, 2017Quite possibly the best rib tips and hot links in the city. The rib tips are slow smoked and tender but still have a little authentic pull. Not oversmoked like most places.
BigTab R.N.August 23, 2018You know how only a monster would order an Italian beef dry? That’s also true of the pulled pork sandwich here, which you should get with extra sauce.- Time Out ChicagoMay 11, 2012Order up a couple of slabs of meaty, tender spareribs, rib tips and a plate of hot links. If you’re still hungry after the main event, juicy smoked chicken and crispy catfish should round things out. Read more
Serious EatsMay 21, 2013The rib tips are lean but still juicy. Smoke-laden but not to the point where it overpowers the meat. They are wonders.- Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 13, 2012We suggest ordering slabs of meaty spareribs, a mess of rib tips and a plate of hot links. If you’re still hungry after the main event, juicy smoked chicken and crispy catfish should round things out. Read more
Jake SmithJune 1, 2013Pass on the pulled pork, it's nothing special (although the sauce is excellent in an inexplicable ketchupy-vinegary-spicy way). Stick with the rib tips and hot links.
Honza JirasekFebruary 18, 2014If you'll order mini combo which is combination of ribtips and slightly spicy sausage.you'd be satisfyed
- Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The father and son behind this rib house know a thing or two about barbecue—they hail from a part of Arkansas where smokers are more common than microwaves. Read more
I luv me sup tips n wings from here...and the mild sauce is from heaven!!
Kevin HouseFebruary 5, 2010My suggestion is get a bunch of your friends, a 6 pack (BYOB), and a large order of rib tips and have go to town!
David SeideMay 9, 2010Ribs are way over rated, fatty and over cooked. Opt got the pulled pork sandwich or sausage.

"Grab some South Side Chicago-style BBQ here. Make sure to try the rib tips and hot links and always ask for extra BBQ sauce on the side. There's a 24 hour doughnut shop next door for dessert."
Chicago Tribune - 7.7
"You can't go wrong with Lem's. The ribs tips are seasoned to perfection. The mild sauce is not my favorite but I've grown to like."
Toy Teezy - 7.2
"What I liked best were the rib tips: chopped into thicker hunks than most places, with a crusty, well-seasoned and vaguely sweet bark. The hickory smoke is subtle but present."
