Lickin' My Chicken & Pullin' My Pork BBQ — Restaurant in Effingham

Portions were nice sized.

Nachos were drenched in cheese, too much for my liking, so I requested it be remade whereas the fries just be covered with the meat, and they easily and quickly remade it.

Their rub, according to my self-proclaimed BBQ snobby spouse, was DELICIOUS! We had a pulled pork sandwich, which was large enough for two meals with the fries that we also ordered. The fries were flash fried--REAL POTATOES, no Ore-Idas here, folks!

Ask for the hot sauce...it has a fairly mild, lasting, back of the mouth, appreciable heat.

The smoked wings, especially at $1.50/wing (!) were both meaty AND yummy as they flash fried them AFTER having smoked them previously...super good and perfect for this gluten-free girl, as were the fries!

Overall, it was worth the stop, and I would indeed give it a 4.5 if one were available, but the downfalls were underwhelmed by the dummies, so a 5 it gets! The iced tea tasted freshly home-brewed, and they offered both sweetened and unsweetened varieties! Plus, they had pellet ice, GORGEOUS epoxied flooring, homemade, as well as beautifully stained picnic tables! The bathrooms, oddly, are super cool, clean, beautifully industrial and worth the trip to check out...hand towels were SUPER THICK and absorbent...no need for more than 1, folks...save the environment as you also appreciate 'head on into the bathroom hall and THEN the lights will turn on' advice offered by the staff! Do not be afraid...the place looks a little seedy and dark and the air wasn't working particularly well upon entry, BUT THE PLACE IS WELL-WORTH entering...

If you’re looking for a unique BBQ joint, look no further! Found this place using google maps as we were just passing through and staying at a hotel nearby. With a business name like theirs, you just have to check it out, right? I will say we had just a little trouble figuring out exactly where it is cause it was dark when we pulled in to the parking lot and the signage wasn’t very visible. We ended up on the opposite side of the building where there’s an entrance into a bar with a passthrough to the restaurant. Come to find out, we didn’t need to drive around the building like we did, but no biggie. Prices are very reasonable and we opted for a half order of the pulled pork nachos, the big pig sandwich, and an order of the garlic cheese curds. OMG, it was soooo gooood! The pork had great flavor and I’m glad I didn’t get the full order cause I had almost more than I could eat. My only complaint is the chips on the bottom got soggy cause the pork was so juicy, but it was still delicious. You can sub out the chips for fries for a $1 upcharge, so I may do that next time. My husband’s sandwich was huge, and the cheese curds were great. This place will definitely be on our stop again list whenever we’re traveling through! Oh, I almost forgot—they even turned the Michigan v. MI State football game on for me...

First time eating here. It was our 33rd anniversary, so we decided to try this BBQ place. Several of our friends told us about it already. Said we should really try it. I must say they were right! The food is really good. We both had the brisket sandwich and a side of baked beans. The brisket was cooked perfectly, very tender with just the right taste and texture. It was piled high on a toasted bun, served with onion slices and pickles on the side. We also ordered some of their garlic cheese curds. Wow, those were so 🔥. I don't know who ate more of them, my husband or myself? I am telling you my friends, give this place a try. It was the best BBQ brisket I've had in years. And don't get me started on how yummy the cheese curds were. Let's just say y'all need to eat here and soon! Made for a wonderful Anniversary dinner. So glad our friends recommended Lickin' My Chicken, Pullin' my Pork BBQ. Service was fast and friendly too. We will be coming back soon! Maybe on a Sunday when they serve...
