The Pit Rib House
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
The Pit Rib House has been slow-cooking ribs over an open wood pit since 1994, and Chicagoland has noticed.
The Pit Rib House has cooked woodfired ribs, brisket and chicken on Roberts Road in Hickory Hills for three decades — long enough to land on NBC's Chicago Today and pick up a best-ribs-in-Chicagoland reputation. Live wood, patient smoke, at 9430 S Roberts Rd.
