Per the list, the best BBQ sandwich in all of Illinois is served at 17th Street BBQ in Murphysboro.

Here's what 24/7 Tempo had to say about the best place to order bbq in the entire state :

"Southwestern Illinois, bordering Missouri, has its own barbecue culture, and Murphysboro was dubbed “the barbecue capital of Illinois” by the State Legislature in 2014. Pitmaster Mike Mills, who became known as “The Legend” (and who consulted with Danny Meyer when he opened his pioneering Blue Smoke in Manhattan), opened this original version of 17th Street BBQ in 1985. He died in 2020, but his daughter, Amy Mills, carries on his legacy. Baby back ribs are the signature here, and the sauces and “Magic Dust” seasoning are considered tops."
