Pop's Barbq

BBQ was pretty good at this place and the service was great. Everything was priced properly, food came quickly and tasted delicious.

Southern Illinois BBQ is about thinly sliced  (not shredded) smoked pork, sauce on the side.  Wrapped in serving paper with a side of vinegary coleslaw the sandwich we got at Pop's is a winner.  They offered two sauces--a molasses-based sweet, and an unusual white sauce that the server said was hot.  It had a tangy zing, but was not hot.  We saw the French fries someone had ordered and took a pass.  My husband ordered a 1/2 slab of ribs-- a bargain at $7.50.  A whole lotta meat in that half slab.  At that price they weren't baby-backs, but spare ribs--a good quality spare rib.  A smoky  dry rub made them tasty, but extra time to tenderize in the smoker was needed.  Get a side of the home made bread--well worth the extra carbs.  Service was mediocre--we had to ask for sauce twice, we had to ask for bread twice.

Excellent all you can eat fish platter at lunch time, I have eaten here twice before always good.
