In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Plainfield; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–9 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (815) 271-6328. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is stationonesmokehouse.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

I have been here several times and every time it's as good, if not better, than the last. The food is amazing. At this point I've pretty much had everything on the menu and I recommend all of it. My kids love this place too. They particularly love the baked potato with brisket and the chicken nuggets. If you've never been, you seriously need to try this place.

The camera obviously didn’t eat first when I received my order so all I have to show is my leftovers. I ordered half a pound of the chopped beef brisket, two ribs, a side of tater tot casserole, collared greens and pickles. The brisket was perfect and just melted in my mouth - perfect meat to buttery fat ratio and the flavor was phenomenal. The tater tot casserole was delicious, very creamy, cheesy and was perfectly salted. The ribs could’ve been a bit more tender, but they tasted very good. The collard greens were cooked right and tasted okay. Although they contained large chunks of pork belly they completely lacked any pork fat flavor - you need to let the greens soak in the pork belly grease for that authentic flavor. My friend got the smoked meat poutine with fried brussel sprouts as his side and they were very, very good. I had two gin and tonics with my dinner and they were made just right. I will definitely be back again!

First time visiting this place and we tried the sampler platter…it did not disappoint. Everything was delicious…moist and full of flavor. Sampler Platter consists of brisket, ribs, turkey breast slices and jalapeño cheddar sausage with our choice of 3 sides…creamy coleslaw, potato salad and tater tots casserole

This place never misses. Everything on the menu is absolutely stellar and very reasonably priced. The meats are always seasoned and cooked to perfection and even their sides are all made with the same care and quality as the mains. You can always tell a lot about a BBQ type place on how good their sides are, and this place is unmatched in the area. The place is always clean, has outdoor seating and is never too loud inside even on weekends. You absolutely need to try the pork belly and the poutine with brisket. It's insane how good these are.
