Porch Chair BBQ PCB - (Near Ina, IL)

5 /5 Bailey Bryan (Beetle): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Texan -Approved BBQ Worth the Stop I’ve been stopping at this place for years — long before Covid — whenever I roll through town next to the Love’s truck stop. Let me tell you, it blows fast food at the truck stop out of the water every single time. This is REAL barbecue, done right. The new remodel is fantastic — the building is bigger, more spacious, and feels brand new inside. They didn’t just rebuild; they upgraded. Now there’s plenty of room, new amenities, and even a line of merchandise so you can take a little piece of PCB BBQ with you on the road. On top of that, they now serve cold beer on tap and in cans, which makes the experience even better after a long haul. The food? Absolutely top-notch. The pulled pork is smoky and tender, brisket is melt-in-your-mouth, and the ribs fall right off the bone. Their nachos are a meal in themselves, piled high with queso, pork, jalapeños, olives, sour cream, and sauce — Texas-sized and Texas-flavored. Even the sides hit hard: the mac n cheese is rich and creamy, the beans pack smoky flavor, and the slaw and tater salad are fresh and classic. And it’s not just for the humans — they even sell smoked dog bones for your four-legged copilot. My Aussie loves them, and it’s a great touch that shows they really think about everyone who rolls through. If you’re tired of the same old fast food options at Love’s, do yourself a favor and walk over here instead. This place has been consistently excellent for years, and now with the remodel and alcohol, it’s better than ever. As a Texan who knows good BBQ, this place gets my stamp of approval every single time. $4 Dog Bones , $3 cans of beer…

5 /5 Stephanie A: Had to plan our trip home around visiting here! Tried the smoked brisket, chicken, sausage and fried bologna. Truly all delicious and nothing you can get in any other local area. Even the sides are packed with flavor, made with love, just like their sauces which have variety and are all gluten free (was a plus for us)

5 /5 Wild Bison: Best wings I’ve ever had. Period! Kid was rude rolling his eyes and kinda yelling. I guess it’s the generation. Zero customer service. Not welcoming at all. They didn’t have any dessert or blue cheese. Restrooms were clean and a lot of parking.

4 /5 Tim Carter: This was first the chance I had to stop and try this place since they opened. They were replacing a very good establishment. And theyve done an excellent job. The sandwich was big. There was a LOT of meat. A large serving of potato salad as the side. The meat is delicious, and the potato salad is fantastic, although it has a slightly different flavor than Im used to. And thats fine. The worst thing I can say is that the sweet tea tasted like it was a powdered mix. I am not saying it is. I dont know. But when the sweet tea is the worst part of your dining experience, youre still having one heck of a good dining experience. I would highly recommend this place. If youre passing by, pull in. If you like good barbecue, make a point of going there. I think youll enjoy it.

5 /5 Elfan M.: 5/5 – Exactly what I needed after a long haul! I ordered a beef brisket sandwich, with fries as one side and BBQ beans as the second side. Paid about $20 total. After finishing my meal, I walked out completely satisfied. The beef brisket was awesome – I’m a big meat lover, and after a long drive this was exactly the right call. One thing I really liked: in the standard order they don’t dump sauces on your food by default. That’s brilliant. They’ve got a separate sauce station, so you can pick and mix whatever you like. Big thumbs up for that! The BBQ beans had this sweet twist to them – not at all what I expected, but really interesting and tasty. Fries were standard, nothing fancy, but the portion size was very solid. The interior is super cool – love the style of this place. Horns on the wall, little animal figures, even a bear – all those details make the vibe fun and inviting. The place felt clean and pleasant, no weird smells or anything off-putting. Just a nice spot to sit down and enjoy good food. Only thing I regret – I didn’t have any cash on me. I would’ve gladly left some extra for the crew, because they deserve it. At checkout there wasn’t even a single word or hint about tips, which for some people is a huge plus. Everyone’s situation is different, and I respect that. Overall: 5/5. Great food, great vibe. Highly recommend!
