Bought a whole slab for 27.00 when I got home and ready to eat it it was as half a skab burnt dry the sauce was horrible to bitter the bread crumbled up like it was stale French fries were good but too hot when I asked for mild sauce twice while the all stated at the customers with in friendly faces the girl cashier had much attitude I was so disappointed I had been wanting some for so long not the same flavor at all taste like it should be in red beans. Maybe it was a bad. Day 

Business response:

I've had barbecue in so many restaurants in the city, but nothing tops the taste and savor of Lem's! Small tip cut thin fries on top or the JBL special when you get a little of everything are always my top two picks! If you've never had it, you've got to try it! You will not be disappointed #yummytothetummy

Thanks Tush for the love!!

Best rib tips that I have ever had and the sauce is amazing too. Worth the price and the trip from the north suburbs here.
