New ownership, but same great quality! We came in with just 30 mins to close. Asked if that was ok before we sat and noone acted annoyed and staff was great!

It located in a descent area. I ordered BBQ straws. The melted cheese on top needs to stay hot. I ordered a combo dinner with brisket and pulled pork. They were out of white meat chicken. I also got a creamy coleslaw and baked beans. I also ordered jalepeno popper bites. They have a nice slow burn. Would be great in the winter to warm the internals. The creamy coleslaw was very tasty. The baked beans were very plain. Add, bbq, some mustard, and a little bit of bacon to elevate the beans. The BBQ straw were different. Similar to the idea of loaded fries. The brisket was moist and had some really great seasoning. Not fatty and not lean. The pulled pork was cooked well and I got the BBQ sauce on the side. The sauce was not heavily vinegar base with a hint of hickory. The sauce was light and not heavy or thick.

Stop scrolling. This is the place. If you come here get the ribs! Ribs! If you normally eat a full slab, only order a half slab here. A full slab will tilt the table down and it’s loaded with meat (not fat). Baked potato was tasty with a smoky taste. I hope to stop here again. Remember to congratulate the new owner on doing BBQ right.

All around great place to eat, great food, great service. They were pretty busy and still got to us in a pretty fast manner and we had our food just as quick. 5 stars would recommend

We tried #423 SmokeHouse for the first time tonight. Our server Matt and the rest of the staff were very friendly and made sure our visit was a great one. My husband and I both had Stromboli sandwiches, the Italian and a regular, they had more meat than we have had at any restaurant in YEARS! They were fresh from the grill and yummy. We will definitely be back to try some other options!

Sunday lunch. They were pretty busy, but we got a table right away. The staff was very friendly. Our appetizer came out quick. We never had an empty glass. I ordered a half rack of ribs and they were absolutely delicious! Huge portion! Fall off the bone tender and juicy. Good smoke flavor and the barbecue sauce was really good as well. Creamy cold, slaw and grilled vegetables Were a nice accompaniment. I also tried the pulled pork and it was delicious. Lots of different choices on the menu. Very clean. I will most definitely go back and eat here again.

When we moved back to Indiana from Texas in 2018, I brought some BBQ from this establishment and loved it. After a sixteen hour drive from Texas, we felt satisfied with a good BBQ meal. Little did I know how hard it is to find good barbecue in Indiana, unlike Texas. For 5 years I strained my memory on where I had bought that fabulous barbecue, and only in July 2024, out of desperation, scanned every restaurant until I found it once again: the 423 Smokehouse. Oh, what a joy! Happiness! We bought many pounds of brisket, BBQ chicken, ribs, and pulled pork to take home. It's about an hour drive from our home near Bloomfield, but will make the trek more often now that we have rediscovered this culinary treasure. Waiter Matthew was quite hospitable, as were the other hosts.

The service was excellent. The food was ok. Brisket was delicious. The ribs and chicken were a bit dry. I was disappointed in the mac and cheese. We did enjoy the delicious sauces. Our appetizers were also delicious. I've only been here one other time in which I thought the food was much better.

If you're in the mood for some exceptional barbecue, look no further than No. 423 Smokehouse. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of trying their barbecue brisket, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender, and flavorful, far surpassing the competition in every way.

The seasoning was just right, allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine through without being overwhelmed by spices. Each bite melted in my mouth, and the smoky aroma was enticing from the moment it was brought to the table. It's clear that No. 423 Smokehouse takes pride in their craft, delivering a dining experience that stands head and shoulders above other barbecue joints.

In contrast, my previous visit to "Pub n Grub" was a disaster. The service was slow, the food was lackluster, and the brisket there was tough and dry, a far cry from the perfection I experienced at No. 423 Smokehouse. If you're seeking a true barbecue haven, No. 423 Smokehouse is the place to be.
