What our guests are saying
Absolutely a must go to place for some great BBQ!!! The service was spot on. The brisket was fantastic. I had three people in my group and everyone loved it. All of us had leftovers and I shared some of mine with someone else and they loved it. I will be returning in the near future!

Only the second time I’ve been here and it’s becoming my favorite place. The BBQ is so good. The brisket is tender and juicy. The pulled pork sandwich is saucy and juicy. Even the drinks are good. Try the grape lemonade and koolaid. The owner is amazing, kind, and definitely knows what he’s doing. Will definitely keep coming back here.

If you are near or in Indianapolis looking for some authentic BBQ then this is a must stop. Award winning BBQ. Walk in and smell the fresh smoked BBQ. There is something for everyone from chicken, lamb, brisket, turkey, ribs, pork. I had some ribs and rib tips, one of the best, with a secret BBQ sauce hot or mild, plus all the sides and desserts all homemade.
