Central Illinois residents can’t get enough of our barbecue! Whether you’re here locally or traveling over the river, Smokin’ Notes is conveniently located and ready to serve up some of your favorites. We only purchase the freshest meat and smoke it every day for 12 hours. This gives the meat a pink tinge called a “smoke-ring” and is a true indicator of authentic BBQ. We then smother our meat in our signature BBQ sauce, giving it a unique tangy taste that can’t be found anywhere else. Some of the delicious smoked meats you can select from our menu include:

• Rib Tips
• Pulled Bork
• Beef Brisket
• Gizzards & Livers
• Ribs
• Burnt Ends
• Chicken

Best of all, our main dishes and sandwiches come with your choice of side! We serve traditional, southern-style comfort food that’s always a delight.
