At Rub BBQ Company we do BBQ Right! All our meats are hand rubbed with a secret blend of 14 seasonings, and set to rest in a chilled environment for 24 hours. This process allows the meat to fully experience all of the spices. We then smoke the meat for hours to create the perfect BBQ taste. We complement all our meats with gourmet side dishes created from scratch with the freshest ingredients. RUB BBQ COMPANY is a family owned business. Chef Jared Leonard and his wife Amanda love BBQ and LOVE Chicago. From the owners - “We traveled North America looking for a place to settle. We lived on an island, tried out the desert, and spent some time in the mountains. I grew up in Chicago & met my wife here. We were married here, we recently started our family here, and now we are lucky enough to be sharing our love for BBQ with the great people of this wonderful city.” - Jared BBQ is a leisurely hobby, but also a highly skilled craft. Other BBQ teams focus on their sauce; while we respect the competition and their methods, we think it’s the wrong approach. Great BBQ is created simply from top quality meats accompanied by a dry rub. We’ve spent years developing our rub, and are proud to share it with you. Our house-made sauce is served on the side, but most of our customers agree that you don’t need it. OUR MOTTO: RUB IT, SMOKE IT, EAT IT!
