As a food reviewer for Restaurant World, I've ventured across multiple dining landscapes, but there’s a legendary quality about Ann’s Bar-B-Que that transcends mere culinary offerings; it's a nostalgic experience crafted by the hands of Ms. Ann, whose dedication has spanned decades. Locals speak fondly of her signature dishes with a shared reverence, often citing the best hot polish sausage sandwiches and the must-try shrimp dinners that leave an indelible mark on one's palate.

I grew up on Ann's Bar B Que. They are beyond just good, they are fantastic!! As a kid I loved the bread that would come along with the meal, dripping with the delectable sauce. The chicken would be tender and moist, everything about Ann 's was a cut above any of the competition. Recently I saw a rating on Yelp in which they gave Ann bad marks, I Guarantee you it must of been a competitor. BEST BAR BE QUE IN THE MIDWEST BAR NONE!

Ann's BBQ has been in business since b4 I was born. I'm 60 yo now. I used to deliver dinners all over the neighborhood for them. They have the best BBQ in town. But better than that is their shrimp dinners. OMS..they will make you hurt yourself. The fried fish dinners too. The lines are usually extremely long and hanging out the door. For the fastest service call ahead about an hour b4 you head that way to pick up your order. But the wait is WELL WORTH IT. SIMPLY BREATHTAKING. WILL MAKE YOU SLAP YO MOMA DELICIOUS! OMT: To give thanks to all who have supported her over the yrs Ann's gives away a FREE NEW YEAR'S DAY DINNER EVERY YEAR, Thanks Ms Ann & GOD BLESS YOU for all your yrs of service. Tammy
