The brisket at Firewater BBQ & Brew is smoked low and slow for 18 hours and it shows. Perfect bark, incredible smoke ring, and melts in your mouth. Best BBQ in New Lenox period.

Ribs at Firewater BBQ & Brew fall off the bone but still have the right amount of chew. The housemade sauce is tangy and sweet. Get there early because they sell out by 2pm most days.

Tried the BBQ sampler at Firewater BBQ & Brew and every meat was cooked to perfection. The pulled pork was juicy, the sausage had a great snap, and the sides are incredible. Worth the wait in New Lenox.

Firewater BBQ & Brew is our tailgate and family gathering BBQ spot in New Lenox. They do large orders with notice and the meat is always consistent. The burnt ends are a must-order.

Competition-level BBQ at Firewater BBQ & Brew. The pitmaster knows what he is doing and the results speak for themselves. The smoked turkey was surprisingly the highlight of my meal.

Good BBQ spot in New Lenox. Firewater BBQ & Brew has solid brisket and the mac and cheese side is creamy and delicious. Friendly staff and a no-frills atmosphere that fits the food perfectly.

Locals-only secret for BBQ in New Lenox. Firewater BBQ & Brew does not advertise much but word of mouth keeps them packed. The beef ribs on weekends are extraordinary.
