Worth the drive. Don't question it, just go.

Everything is a 5 star from me. Loved everything about it & the gentle man was very nice! Great service! Defiantly making this a spot to go to regularly.

The food was absolutely delicious! The people are super kind! What a treat! I will return when I’m in the area. I’ll also be sure to tell friends and family about this place.

Old school customer service. Family-owned and they truly care about taking care of the customer. They have expanded for a sit down spot in New Pal, about 7 mins down the street of you're looking to dine in. One of the best BBQ spots in Indy. Highly recommend if you're wanting that small town feel, friendly staff and quality BBQ.

Picked up a rib and the meat fell off.
Also neat to eat in a bingo hall. There's just something down-home about it

One of my co-workers recommended the brisket. After spending 49 dollars for 8 slices of dry brisket and 12 tough/chewy rib tips, we will not be returning.

Love this place but lately it’s been hit or miss. When checking website brisket is ready. Once you go to restaurant told only chop or none available. Last few times when they did have brisket they pulled it earlier losing the great smoke flavor I love when visiting prior. Hopefully this issue won’t continue with brisket not being available on Fridays or I’ll have to find a new BBQ restaurant going forward. Peace and blessings.

The staff are always great and I have liked going here since the first time I saw the sign and stopped. But I hate to say the food is very hit or miss the past several times I have stopped for carryout. The pulled pork is normally really good but the buns are frequently burnt/overcooked. The mac and cheese was slightly spicy and tasted great when I first started going here and now you never know what you are going to get. Last time it was very good. Today the pasta is very over cooked and the sauce does not taste the same. I understand you make things from scratch will vary but this is too much. Fantastic to not good whatsoever. Also today the barbecue sauce was missing from my order. Everything is too expensive for it not to taste good and be more consistent.

1st impression wasn't good on a Sat afternoon. They were out of cold slaw. The pulled pork, brisket and corn casserole were all dry. The tips were good, the sauce was lite. They should stick with BBQ only.

Looking for something new and this barbque restaurant came up on my Facebook feed. Located on German Church road. This place did not disappoint. We order the 3 meat meal and boy oh boy were we surprised with the generous portion and delicious sides. The meat was so tasty and the sauce 😋 finger licken good. From now on this will be our go to spot for barbque. We received great friendly service at the drive thru and the wait time was pretty fast. This place is a thumbs 👍 up for us.

Ordered carryout and it is the best! Delicious! And service was prompt in my order. Was ready when I got there.

This place was sooooo good. I got the half slab rib dinner with potato salad, coleslaw, Mac and cheese and banana pudding. The ribs were the star of the place, seasoned well and fell right off the bone and the spicy BBQ was delightful. Love the porters salad and the banana pudding. I will be back for more!

Great service and the most delicious BBQ food I've ever tried 10/10
