Also out of the way but worth it is the triple-E BBQ in Mt. Vernon right off I-57. Of course, there's always Famous Dave's (It's chain, but not too bad) in Bloomington on bypass-55. In Springfield, there's Popeye's BBQ on east South Grand Avenue (about 3 miles or so off of I-55) which is darn good.
