Best ribs in the city, if you want ribs cooked and seasoned to perfection this is for you. Everything looks so mouth watering as... soon as you line up to wait. Line is long but doesn?t take that long to get through it. 5 stars all the way, this will be mymain to go place for ribs. I have been in the city my whole life and i have definitely been missing out, don?t make the samemistake and make this your #1 spot for ribs. You wont be disappointed i can guarantee that!!! Thank you Lem?s and staff with outyou we would never have experienced the best ribs in Chi-Town. Read more

I?ve had southern bbq and while styles are different in regions, I think Lem?s rival some of the most popular BBQ places. Line... was worth the wait - I got the hot links and rib tips over fries and boy it was amazing. Seasoned to perfection and so muchflavor. They take credit but note this is take out only right now and eating this can get a bit messier in the car. You canwait until you get home but we wanted the food fresh! Read more

The BBQ is outstanding. We waited outside for about 20 minutes and about 10 minutes inside. It was worth it. I went during the... week for lunch about 15 people in line the whole time. The smell drew us in. We ordered JBL special...a little of everything.Wings, ribs (my favorite) hotlinks, tips, and fries. Next time I'll order my fries separately because they soak up the sauce butI'll will be back. Dress warm during the winter you have to wait outside. Read more

The Center Cut and Short Ends are FIRE!!! My family loves the bbq sauce, ribs, and chicken at LEM?S and I can honestly say it?s... worth a longer wait in line. Good crowd outdoors as always. Fun stories and memories begin with a full slab for sure! Mmmmmkay! Read more
