You don’t have to travel far to find good barbecue in the metro-east, but if you want some of the best in the country, head to Doc’s Smokehouse in Edwardsville, a national barbecue industry magazine suggests.
National Barbecue News recently published its “Best of the Best Barbecue” guide, with Doc’s rounding off the list for the best places to try in Illinois. 17th Street Bar & Grill in Murphysboro also made the list. No barbecue businesses in Missouri made the list.
Located at 1017 Century Drive, Doc’s is known for its pork steaks that are so tender you could cut one “with a plastic spoon,” owner Susan Richardson said.
Ribs, chicken wings and burnt ends are customer favorites at Doc’s, along with its signature barbecue baked beans.
