City Barbeque opening in Vernon Hills this fall

City Barbeque has finalized plans to open a new location in Vernon Hills in October.

The restaurant, at 887 N. Milwaukee Ave., will be the company's fifth in Illinois and 41st in the country.

When the Vernon Hills location opens, City Barbeque will already be operating in Berwyn, Orland Park, Deerfield, and Downers Grove.

Like all City Barbeque restaurants, the Vernon Hills joint will smoke all meats on-site and will serve the same award-winning barbeque, homemade sides, and indulgent desserts that guests have come to know and crave. “Our team loves being in Chicagoland and is excited to bring our award-winning barbeque to some new folks in Lake County,” said David Heismann, general manager of City Barbeque Vernon Hills.
