Fat Willy's Rib Shack

Vegetarian review- amazing vegetable salad, this is no ordinary lettuce and piece of tomato.  Cornbread is moist and flavorful, without tasting like eggs.   Thumbs up!

Fat Willy's Rib Shack is really more of a 4 in and of itself, but the 5 is for the combined experience of eating here and then hitting up at a movie at the Western Ave Theater across the street.

I mentioned this before in the Fox & Obel review, specifically that the Fox & Obel/Illinois Theater combo is worse than the Fat Willy's/Western Ave Theater combo. The former is like having 2 machine guns in Contra, the later is like having Spray and Laser AND doing the up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right,a,b,a,b,­select,start trick.  If you know what I'm talking about, you are a male between the ages of 23-35.

My new obsession is BBQ. I feel like it's one of those cuisines you have to be in the mood for... like sushi, but when you are - man that craving comes on strong. Therefore, I've been trying to hit up as many BBQ spots in Chicago as I can.

This one is really tasty. I ordered the beef brisket, with mac n cheese and vinegar cukes as the sides. It really hit the spot. The brisket was perfectly cooked, although I felt that the horseradish sauce that accompanied it was lacking a little in flavor. Would definitely recommend this place.
