Now, he’s serving up Southern BBQ that’s true to regional traditions while still creating unique, reimagined flavors?it’s an art form. Thanks to Grandma Lillie, a full family lineage of BBQ passion, and a commitment to craft, we believe we’ve mastered it. With four restaurants and a variety of sauces, rubs, kettle chips and more?we’re excited to show you why it's unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Each of our rub seasonings tell their own story by honoring the region they were created from or the people that brought them to life.

Growing up in South Carolina, Chef Charlie McKenna learned very early on about the art of true Southern BBQ. Grandmother Lillie made sure of it. So when Charlie opened the flagship Lillie’s Q restaurant in Chicago, the goal was simple: Create a Southern-inspired BBQ experience that’s true to regional traditions and reimagined into unique, authentic and delicious flavors.
Lillie’s Q Founder and Chef, Charlie McKenna, lost his aunt Katherine to breast cancer in 2000. Charlie McKenna created BarbeCure as a means to raise funds for cancer research and positively impact families and communities affected by cancer. BarbeCure raises funds through events, specialty product sales and donations. Funds raised are donated to the McKenna family’s foundation, the Katherine McKenna Brother’s Scholarship Fund as well as a rotating charity each year.
Including 2 Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest victories and a variety of other accolades on the competitive BBQ circuit, we’re proud to have added to our mantles at home. The work is long, rigorous and takes a small village. But it sure is delicious.
