  Try the fruit shortcake from our 100 Best list: This sweet-as-pie biscuit-and-fruit concoction (the fruit varies with the season) is good enough to go toe-to-toe with any of the fancier takes.

  Tri-tip sandwich and smokey BBQ, is the way to go. So damn good. Fries are awesome too!

  The food is good, but it's not worth the wait or the crowded eating conditions. Look elsewhere if there's a wait.

  The ribs here - lean and mean baby backs rubbed out in Carolina dirt - made our list of the 40 Reasons to Love Chicago.

  Stay with the appetizers. The entrees are disappointing.

  Amazing pulled pork. The meat has incredible flavor on its own, and then you can choose from their line of sauced to add a regional style. I recommend the vjnegar-based ENC.

  The tri-tip sandwich was seriously the best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. Get the strawberry fields forever cocktail

  If you want to journey across the Carolinas in a single sitting, head to Lillie's Q, where they serve all three versions of the Carolina sauce vinegar, ketchup and mustard.
