Just sayin’… CityBBQ has left Orland Park. I’m bummed. I feel like I tried, but it just wasn’t good enough. CityBBQ came to Orland somewhere around April 2018 and was frequented by me as often as I could. As an older guy though, I figured I have to start putting my health and waistline above my love for BBQ. So, as I would drive by to and from art class, I would gaze lovingly on the building and think of plates of BBQ past. My personal favorite was the ribs. The quality never disappointed. I’ve been to a lot of BBQ places where quality was suspect, and the amount of fat was disappointing. A place or 2 in Lemont comes to mind. That aside, I felt that a BBQ place on that side of town was a bad location. If you would have put it over by the Patio on the Tiney side of East Orland or where Fry the Coop is, it would have rocked! I think the Orland/Tinley population just didn’t want to drive to the other side of Orland for BBQ.
