Lem's Bbq House is awful by Kelli W on 7/31/2009 via Insider Pages
Everytime I go by Lem's there is a line out the door, why? They are horrible. They do give you plenty of food but its so bad it doesn't matter. The sauce tastes as if they use vinegar in it. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to…

Inconsistent by BBQ4ME on 5/9/2009 via Citysearch
I have been eating Lem's for two decades, starting on 59th with Mike and when that location closed I followed Lem's to the 75th street location. I travel from the far west suburbs to get Lem's at least once a month and the ribs are never…

Get Real (BBQ Boy)...Lem's Rules by nelson_tj on 12/1/2007 via Citysearch
I have had them all over town and Lem's is still the king. A unique tangy sauce with a hint of clover and just a bit of heat slathered on tender rib tips or a more chewy st. louis style rib. If you like meat falling off the bone go for…

The Best by billerkelens on 3/14/2006 via Citysearch
I have been to this pure south side rib joint. It is by far the best I have tried the patio, Georges, The old Red Barrell,and many others all over chicago and the suburbs hands down Lem's is the best no question

SLAP YO MAMMA by princesa66 on 6/5/2003 via Citysearch
I have been eating at LEMS for about 20 years. I have tasted many BBQ restaurants but nothing comes close. The sauce is so addictive. I now live in Long Beach, California, but when I go home I pick up a gallon of BBQ sauce to bring back…

Rib Lover Personified by blackcontractor on 11/9/2002 via Citysearch
These Ribs are nothing but Good! Lem's begins by slow cooking a premium slab of ribs over a hickory wood fire. After the slow cooking process they mop the ribs and french fries with a secret, spicy, tangly sauce. In my estimation Lem's is…

Go to the source! by pinojet on 10/26/2002 via Citysearch
If your tired of copies and good imitations at best. Lem's authentic barbeque without the "fu-fu".

Excellent Dirty Hand Eating by jjiver21 on 8/13/2002 via Citysearch
Every one loves to pick up a slab and get messy and this place is one of the best places to do this. I loved the BBQ'ed Ribs.

DY-NO-MITE! by shemann on 8/8/2002 via Citysearch
There is no better then a shack for BBQ. Moved to LA and haven't had decent ribs since. Lem's has THE BEST sauce smothering their ribs, hot links, fires and white bread. I miss it so much. Go there late night on the weekend drop you $8…
