Freddy’s Ribhouse
November 20, 2009Chicago may not need another rib joint to chew on but isn’t complaining about Freddy’s. At this handsome oak bar, with exposed brick walls and vintage photos of Chicago, the ribs are as good and varied. Baby back ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender. Beef ribs, meaty and flavourful from slow cooking, make a nice change of pace, as does moist charbroiled chicken. Sandwiches include BBQ brisket and pulled pork. Side dishes include fried potatoes sprinkled with seasonings.
