I am telling you when I am a barbecue fan Johnson's BBQ shack just touched my soul!!! That brisket sandwich though🥹 I'm not understanding why it's so slow in there. They need to change location because this food right here deserves every dollar they're asking plus gratuity. Very delicious very great service and well clean atmosphere! Plus I offered to buy a roll of paper towels from them and they let me take them on the house. I'm definitely coming back! Thank you Johnson's BBQ Shack for your service 🫶🏾

the man at the order stand was very friendly and helped with ordering for my first time. The food was amazing! I got a pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on top. the pit special i believe is what it’s called. it was the best coleslaw i’ve ever had! the mac and cheese and baked beans were great too. i’ll definitely be coming back with more people.

We had a graduation party on the patio. The staff was phenomenal. I didn't get her name, but the younger lady at the front was amazing. They all worked very hard & went above & beyond expectations. The food was amazing as well! Thank you for making this day a success!

Walked in, depressing music, somber atmosphere, staff was slow to acknowledge. Tables were dirty, staff was barely friendly. I got the feeling that the guy working was hating life. Food was dry and barely warm. Ended up leaving

Fed our high school robotics teams. Our order was ready on time. Pork, chicken, and mac n cheese were really good. The team loved it and the price fit our budget.
I got my food to go. I got the bbq brisket nachos. It cost 16, but it was enough food for 2 if not 3 people!! They were good. The service was great!!! I will be back!!!

Just went there today and I really wanted to like this place, the atmosphere is great in a nice little downtown of small town Indiana. The people were nice. Being that I’m doing keto diet I decided to double down on a brisket meal for 4 to have leftovers for lunches ($60). My wife had a pulled pork potato. I used to think even bad bbq is good bbq. This brisket had the texture of a sirloin steak that was cooked to well done. The bark was as tough as tree bark. The smoke flavor tasted like it was doused in matchlight. The potato that my wife had, we ordered pulled pork but we couldn’t tell if it was pork or chicken. The seasoning used on it was fairly overpowering and had a texture like chewing on sand. I do not like talking bad about places but I honestly can’t think of a time I’ve had worse food than this. I did not try the sides but based on what my wife said they were the best part because they just tasted like store bought GFS sides. For $85 all we could do I laugh at how bad it was the whole way home. I hope this place gets better but I can not let it have a 4.7 star review and keep taking peoples money.
Hire a pit master or send the current one to school so that they can turn this place around. Based on a lot of reviews I can see that I’m not the only one who has had this experience. I cook a lot of bbq and would volunteer my time to make this bbq better. This place has potential with the location and atmosphere, its main component, food, is severely lacking.
