    Why you don't know about red summer then? It was a race war in the early 1900s... they were openly killing black people across the United States...especially in Chicago!

    Did they braise those ribs? You do not braise ribs and then put them on the grill? That is NOT bbq. The ribs are basically being parboiled.

    I was at Russell's on 8/3/2019 and the sauce has definitely changed. It used to be the best anywhere but now they add wayyyy to much sugar in it. The beef however is still consistent (great). Bottom line.... The beef is the bomb - the sauce is like eating a sugary ice cream topping.

    This is by far the worst bbq spot in illinois, how they stood in buisness for so long is beyond me. Their ribs taste like they were dragged through the forest and used as bait for fishing before they are served. Their bbq sauce taste like a combination of used mouth wash and rat poison. The best thing on their menu has to be the plastic bread roll they give you to wash down the taste of sellomenella from the ribs that were just picked off a clothesline in the parking lot. Food works great if you want to feed a pet rat but besides that it's useless.
