Moontime Smokin' Que 88 Railroad Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

"First time visiting and we were not disappointed with the meat. Staff was very friendly and attentive. We arrived at 7:30 on a Friday and service was winding down, so ribs had run out but I was there for the brisket, which didn’t disappoint. Not fatty at all, and Classic BBQ sauce was quite tasty. Next time we will show up a little earlier but we will be back!"

"Are you kidding me? I spent 15 years in Texas, and this place is killer! We had everything from soup to mac & cheese to ribs and baked beans. Even Wisconsin cheese curds. Everything, everything was absolutely fantastic. They even serve shiner."

"The sandwiches and meat are decent, nothing to rave about. The sides are not good, the Mac and cheese and Beans were watery and very lacking in flavor. The cornbread was dry, dense and bland. The brisket fries were decent but pickled jalapenos would have helped the flavor rather than raw. The sauces were all quite good, just wish the meats and sides were up to par."

"Came here for the first time tonight. I came specifically wanting ribs, and thats what I ordered. WOW! Thats the best word for the ribs! Nice and tender, but not mushy, with a nice crusted top. I ordered the beans and cucumber salad as my sides, equally as great. Service was very fast and very friendly. The atmosphere was very nice and had a great vibe. I will most definitely come back, and can not wait to try their other food."

"NEW FAVORITE FOOD PLACE. Seriously, the staff is so friendly and so on top of things, my party felt like we were always being taken care of. Super clean. And I cannot stress enough how amazing the food is. If you like smoked meats, you NEED to come here. The pulled pork was superb, and the brisket was so good, it almost brought tears to our eyes. The brisket Philly is phenomenal."
