We were in The Chi, visiting from Houston for July 4th and The Chosen Few. This spot has great food and great service. You won’t be disappointed. I’m from Texas and I know what good BBQ is. Trust me, Lems has some great BBQ. REAL TALK

I was raised on Lem's. My mom would purchase it every other Thursday night when she got paid :) It was the only night we could stay up pass bed time...what memories.

I grew up eating Lens Barbecue. There used to be two locations. As a child we went to 59th and State and when we moved further south In the mid 1960's here on 75th street. For many years I went to both. Quality meat, cooked well and delicious. The portions are good and the prices are reasonable. Real Chicago Barbecur!
