Is the BBQ really that good?
Troy has been slow-smoking meat for 50+ years. The brisket goes 14+ hours on the smoker. You'll taste the difference immediately.

No shortcuts. No pre-packaged sauces. A USMC veteran pit master who applies military-grade standards to every single plate.
Is it worth the drive?
Romeoville customers come back every week. Once you've had brisket smoked 14+ hours, nothing else compares.
Is the 10 minutes trip really worth it?
Most Romeoville customers say yes — and they bring friends the second time. Free parking, fast service, and BBQ that lasts in your memory.
