Hendrick's BBQ

Last weekend, S and I went with some friends to Hendrick's BBQ in St. Charles. I am sorry to say that I was not impressed. The cocktails were watery and expensive for a BBQ joint, and the BBQ itself was underwhelming. The sides were decent,  but not nearly as good as those at Salt and Smoke (nor, frankly, were the cocktails).  So if you have to pick a place, I'd pick the latter if I were you.  Plus, it's in the Loop, so there are all sorts of entertainment options as well!
