14 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cedar Lake

“10/10 as always. The best service and the best BBQ“

“I had an amazing experience here! The customer service was stellar, and my meal was just fantastic. Just a heads up: the food has a unique touch—it's not quite like what Grandma, Mom, or Dad would make, but that's part of the charm! If you're on the lookout for a great place to enjoy a delicious meal and love a smoky flavor like I do, this is the spot for you! Everything was so moist and flavorful! Lastly, shout-out to inspirational Jamal for making this experience extra special.“

“Food is delicious !!! but post today said pulled pork sandwich $5 . Cashier stated no they are not they are $10 . Showed the ad. They didn’t care . Friday went in for the special x 2 - got over charged. We still purchased .. but after this time in less than a week .
That’s discouraging. Please post accurate specials and pricing . Thank you :)“

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! We will definitely be coming back! Their ribs are the best! Between the rest of my family I also sampled their pulled pork, brisket, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, and fries. It was all great. Can’t wait to try everything else on their menu.“

“Great brisket nachos and at a good price. friendly people as well!“

“Catfish dinner was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Still piping hot when I got home. Fries were delicious. A real side of coleslaw, not just a tiny pill cup. My dinner was packaged with care. Even gave me hand wipes, packaged plastic ware and REAL napkins, not flimsy toilet paper squares. First time customers get a free drink. I will definitely return. Very clean.“

“Very good bbq, the fries are excellent and the sauces are great. Heck, it's all good.“

“We were hesitant about trying this restaurant after moving into the neighborhood. Reading the reviews helped. 😲 when I say this food was 🔥, we devoured the large turkey tips w/hot links. Everything was hot and fresh! Fries were still crispy with the sauce on them! Turkey was melt in ur mouth delicious 😋. No leftovers, we ate it all in one sitting. Woo woods is our new bbq joint! Will definitely be back. Today. Hopefully.“

“We typically love it here. However, we had an easily avoidable issue yesterday. The app only allows the "call ahead" for up to 6. We had a party of 12. So, we called the location to ask if they could accommodate a party of 12. We kept getting placed on hold by 3 different employees only to be told they can't give a time estimate until we are physically there (15+minutes btw of employee after employee). Okay, we pack up and head there. After arriving we are told they can't even sit the 12 of us together and it's a 1.5 hour wait. What a WASTE of OUR time. I understand the wait is based on the customer traffic. But if you guys know you can't sit 12 together, TELL US OVER THE DAM PHONE!!!!!!“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon.
From the hostess to the waitress, everyone was friendly. We ordered steak and potato, and both were absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked to our liking, and the baked potato was big and good. What caught our eye was the old Mason Jars used for beverages, large and classic. It was definitely an enjoyable experience.“

“The Crown Point location is great. I prefer their food over any of their other locations. Not sure if it's because it's the newest site to open but I hope that the quality of the food and service does not change. A solid 4 stars!“

“We have eaten here so many times and never ever been disappointed. The food is always incredible, best in CP if you ask me, and wonderful service.“

“Hostess was RUDE and very UNORGANIZED!

If I didn't like the food so much, I would have walked right out.

I walked into the Longhorn restaurant in Merriville, IN, and the hostess (an older woman, wearing a black & green blouse
on 11/9/24 at approximately 1 pm in the afternoon) was as RUDE as a person could be.

The restaurant was very busy and she seemed to be disturbed by this. She kept trying to detour people by telling them that wait times were longer than they actually were. When she noticed I wasn't going to leave, she told me and my guest to just have a seat. She didn't take my name down, so I asked if she was going to. So, at this point, she asked for my name but did not type or write anything down.
I didn't push the issue because it was clear she was having a bad day.
However, I did monitor the order in which people were arriving because I noticed that this hostess was not.

When a table opened up, she would call people out of order and customers had to tell her who was next.

My goodness!

Once we got past this debacle, things ran much more smoothly in terms of the server and cooks.

Parking: I noticed that there were many take out spots in front of the restaurant that were not utilized. This area, in my opinion, should be dedicated to seniors and disabled persons.

The restaurant may not realize this, but there are many disabled people that come to eat there, so it only makes sense. Designating just four or five spots on the side of the restaurant away from the entrance is not very accommodating to senior citizens or disabled persons.“
