This is quite the quaint barbecue joint! Great food!! Would recommend everything we ate, but especially the burnt ends and St. Louis style ribs. Really good cheesy hash browns too! Quite a few good options to choose from. The decor is very realistic rustic, creating a very neat atmosphere. The service was efficient and friendly. I kind of hope I end up back in Peru soon so I can get a chance to eat here again!

I don't do reviews much, but this was some of the best BBQ I've had in a hot minute. Burnt ends that didn't taste like they were microwaved straight out of a freezer. All dry rubbed meat that wasn't over-sauced. Will return to test more.

Best BBQ I've ever eaten. Baked beans were made in heaven. Too bad I love so far away. This a stop on my family's vacation.

Stopped by for lunch.pulled pork with cole slaw ,brisket with cole slaw and pulled pork nachos.all very taste .service was great and friendly. The place is very nice..definitely i recommend stopping for lunch or dinner.

What a great find. Heading I80 east and stopped for lunch. 4 minutes from the interstate, and some of the best barbecue we’ve had! Sat at the bar. The bar tender was fabulous. We tried the burnt ends, chili, and pastrami sandwich. Yum! Enjoyed our lunch so much we took home the gumbo, carry out brisket, and bread pudding to share with family for dinner tonight. Highly recommend this restaurant. Family friendly atmosphere. We saw families come in with small children. Loved the stone walls and wood plank flooring. VERY reasonably priced. Staff, cleanliness, food all 5 star. Thank you!

Food , Atmosphere,Service were all displayed here with great American pride !! Starting out with the food tried burnt ends , smoked wings, sausage links, and finished off with brisket sandwich , very well done and smoked , tender and juicy . Loved their signature Bbq sauce and was surprised on their peach chipotle sauce just the right amount of both ingredients . Atmosphere was perfect inside and out , service was outstanding with servers coming by to ask how everything was on a regular highly recommend if you ever are in Peru IL.

I just want to thank Stone Jug and entire staff for helping to make my mother’s 90th birthday party a success! Not only was staff friendly, but so accommodating with our out of state family coming in early to decorate. The food could not have been more delicious and numerous family members commented on it! The sing elves that day really were the icing on the cake! I can’t thank you enough for a perfect experience!!

Good barbecue, friendly service, clean and pleasant atmosphere.
