JW Southern Style BBQ has fantastic barbecue, Carson’s the Place for Ribs is okay. I also like Webers (the grill makers restaurant). That is not what you are looking for though.

I’m not a regional BBQ expert, but I belive Smokin’ Woody’s may be something along what you’re looking for: http://www.originalsmokinwoodys.com/

You may want to check out Honky Tonk as well (they have live music which is pretty cool): http://www.honkytonkbbqchicago.com/

I’ve eaten at them all and Smoke is the best. By far. Started up by some corporate cube workers who traveled the south for years researching the best BBQ. They did it.

The Smoke Daddy is very good and a fun place. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-smoke-daddy-chicago
I don’t recommend going to Smokin’ Woodies unless you want food poisoning. Myself and three friends all got sick after eating there.
