Ordered rib dinner and brisket dinner. Ribs and brisket were fatty and tough. Nearly impossible to chew. Smoke flavor was good, but didn't make up for poor quality.

Tried this place after the Fall Festival.. WOW We got a Lb of brisket and a Lb of pulled pork, green beans, Mac and cheese and jalapeño corn bread.. definitely going back. That was yummy!
Nancy Dougherty
Absolutely the best brisket we have ever had! The pulled pork was great as well. We enjoyed our visit with Cindy and Jess too. It was our first time there and we will be back soon!

I had the Rib Tips and they were spot on. The bbq sauce was incredible. Will visit again.

Best bbq I’ve had in my 7 months of traveling for work. This is as close to a taste of Texas you can get. Ordered brisket sandwich, ribs, baked beans, Mac n cheese, and potato salad. None disappointed, great eating. Both regular and hot bbq sauces were delicious. I’m satisfied with my visit at Jibs, and will be revisiting soon.

Wonderful BBQ! The minute I opened the door the great smell of home cooked food told me that I made a good choice. The owners were very enjoyable to talk with and made me feel very welcome. I will return as often as I can when I am in the area. I had a 1/2 rack of ribs, a Jamaican brat, greens, jalapeño cornbread and Mac & Cheese. Enjoyed every bite The prices were very reasonable. Next time I will get there early to get the Brisket

This is the home of the best BBQ in Johnson County. It is equal to Hanks in Indianapolis and both places are what I consider to be Indiana’s best. Great sides and sauces too. It’s like a Memphis style BBQ with Carolina style slaw and Mississippi style greens. Potato salad and beans are good too. Call to make sure they are open before driving any serious distance.

Wow, this bbq is awesome, and the sides are top notch!!! I can't wait until my next go around!!!

We ordered brisket, pulled pork, ribs, Mac and cheese, baked beans, green beans, and potato salad. They gave us a sample or their greens while waiting for our to go order. Fantastic food! I cannot complain about anything I ate, and I tried everything we ordered. We will definitely be ordering here again. Their BBQ sauce is the perfect flavor. They were sweet enough to give a little tour of the restaurant to us.

"Deeeeeee-licious!!" That is how my 2nd grader describes his experience with Jibs...and we (his parents) couldn't agree more! Between the three of us, we had the pleasure of experiencing pulled pork, ribs, greens, mac n cheese, and coleslaw. Everything was perfection! They serve their coleslaw Carolina style (vinegar slaw) and if you have never had it, this one is the one to show you how it is done right. The meats were tender, flavorful, and could be devoured as is, but then you would miss out on their amazing homemade BBQ sauces. Whether you like it mild or with a kick, you will know from the first taste this is the real deal.And the delicious food isn't all you will find at Jibs. Owners Jesse and Cindy are warm and welcoming, eager to give you a smile and a handshake while serving their food made with obvious care and love. The level of hospitality at their cozy shop will make you feel you have just been made part of the family. We look forward to taking advantage of their outdoor seating area in warmer weather on our next visit. Hopefully that will be very soon!
Our work had them cater lunch. Everything was excellent. Ribs were fall of the bone tender with great flavor, chicken was very moist and the Mac and cheese was awesome.

The wood makes the difference. Beautiful, sweet pork.

It's the best BBQ in Johnson County, but call before going. Their hours fluctuate based on the health of the grill master and his wife who own the place. I love the place so much that I offered to work for free to give them a break when needed.

The two owners work this small take out restaurant unless they are ill or off then they have their kids fill in. I thought I would like their home made bbq sauce but found it more like apple sauce than bbq. The ribs where chewy and thick. Even though we got a lot of food for the money, the experience was way better than the bbq itself.

As self proclaimed Texas style bbq aficionados, we’ve gone out of our way to try a healthy number of bbq joints while working in the greater Indianapolis area. Jibs has represented itself at the high level we’ve come to expect from Central Texas style bbq. In fact owner/operator Jesse Hutton had just returned from Texas where he sources his post oak and hickory. The brisket and ribs were both tender and smoky. The spicy sauce was homemade with great flavor and an excellent kick. If you get the chance, stop on by and see Jesse and Cindy Hutton for a delicious/friendly experience.Here are some others we’ve tried while in town (some were very good, some were very bad. None were as good as Jibs).Hickory HillzJohnson’sGather AroundSugar CreekCitySquealersGomezBig JT’sOld GoldIndiana SmokehouseSmokin’ Barrel
