Porch Chair BBQ started with real wood, a genuine motto, and the belief that a great meal can make somebody's whole day.
A Small Town, A Big Smoke
Porch Chair BBQ sits on Taylor Street in Ina, Illinois — right off I-57, where real wood smoke has a way of pulling you off the highway.
The Motto That Means It
"If we can't change the whole world for the better today, at least we can try and change yours." That's not a tagline — it's how they run the place, every single day.
No Shortcuts, No Liquid Smoke
Everything off the pit earned its smoke ring the honest way — low, slow, real wood. Regulars will tell you flat out: the smoke is on point.
Your Table's Always Set
Seven house-made sauces, a come-as-you-are dress code, and a room that feels more like a neighbor's back porch — everyone's welcome here, and they mean it.
