Barbeque Restaurants near Zionsville

“We had our company holiday party / 2024 kick off at Salty Cowboy and had an amazing time. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. We had a group of around 30 people and all of the food arrived at our tables quickly and was incredible. The owners, Justin and Kristen, were attentive to our needs and made sure that everything was perfect. I highly recommend the Salty Cowboy if you are looking for a group outing.“

“Ben's is the best BBQ! My previous favorite is Oklahoma Joe's/Joe's in Kansas City.Similar origin stories.It starts with the smoker. Oklahoma Joe built his own and so does Ben. I was invited into the inner sanctum of the smoke house to see the "Red October" offset.All of the BBQ is smoked with local Indiana cherry.Ben's is located in an old used car lot in old downtown Westfield where parking can be very dear. Prime spots are located back by the picnic tables.If you don't preorder and walk up you will need to be there at noon if you want BBQ before sell out.I did a walk up visit on Saturday Apr 6 for brisket and pulled pork and returned Apr 7 Sunday for ribs, pork belly and turkey. The ribs are spare vs baby back so plenty of meat and finished with a rub. All meats are fork tender.My preference for pulled pork is Carolina style referred to as just BBQ in the Carolinas. Served family style in a bowl with finishing sauce choices of mustard or apple cider vinegar available if desired. Ben's serves his pulled pork chopped and lightly sauced, all good but not my preference. Ben would most likely indulge Carolina BBQ presentation if requested.Ben's is a BBQ shack but has picnic tables out back if you wish to eat while there.If you don't visit Ben's BBQ Shack you don't know what you missing and if you wait until next weekend you will only be a week older when you do.Parking: Parking in old downtown Westfield is dear.Arrived early at Ben's and park back by the picnic tables“

“I drive by this food truck literally multiple times each day as my office is nearby. I keep intending to try it and have not made the time….until now. I ordered carry out via the website (which was a great experience by the way) and omg it was absolutely delicious! I am half Assyrian, so I’ve enjoyed a lot of Middle Eastern food throughout my life. Davani Armenian BBQ is the real deal! Everything tasted as authentic as if a relative or family friend prepared and grilled it from scratch. The beef lulu kabob wrap was incredible…the meat was moist and flavorful, the lavosh wrap was still warm from the grill, and the owner (who was so friendly and kind) was able to provide me the sauce, cilantro & onion, and tomato toppings on the side as I requested. All of it was **so good**! I also ordered the hummus & pita —both of which were quite tasty as well. I highly recommend this food truck to everyone who appreciates authentic, freshly prepared food! And I look forward to placing another order soon, this time as carry out for dinner for my family. Thank you Davani Armenian BBQ!“

“The place is top tier!!!! I've been telling everyone. Everything we ate was amazing, not one complaint. It needs to be featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. If you get the opportunity please give it try. I guarantee you'll want to try the whole menu.“

“I lived in LA for 5+ years and frequented several Pho spots, but this- Eating Fresh is TOP - TIER! Just like Samantha’s superb customer service! I ordered via Uber the seafood pho and grilled beef spring rolls last week. And today, 3 days later, I just ordered the chicken pho. Thank you for great Vietnamese food! I’ll def be back again, and again!“

“Man Big Walt’s has had me in a chokehold for months! It’s just great every time. A two man team (generally) pumping out hot fresh food! I love the pork chop sandwich and the cheeseburger. If you have a big appetite you might get the Big Walt on Texas toast, it’s 2 hand patted seasoned patties with your choice of toppings. Wait is generally 20 mins or less! Love yo go when they open, I’m in and out!“

“I was gifted cornbeef and Brisket one Sunday whle recovering back in February. It was right on time and great. On St. Patrick Day this year, order more of both and invited my family over to try, by the time they left no more Cornbeerf or brisket on the stove to serve. That day I was a great hit, the meat was tender and good with out any BBQ sauce.“

“My daughter and I came in for an early dinner and wow. Great music, chill atmosphere, and the food was amazing. I recommend the Wake n Bake burger. Service could’ve been more enthusiastic but she was attentive and seemed to be one of 2 servers covering the entire floor.“

“This was our first time trying this place, we are from out of town, and we love great customer service AMAZING, cashier was extremely patient and helpful. Now the FOOD ???????smoked wings, so delicious corn pudding the bomb, greens was a tiny bit salty but great flavor would still get them again. Variety of bbq sauces was great even the drinks was deliciou, we definitely stopping by here every time we visit ITS A WINNER! Oh good time quick hot and fresh!!“

“Justin(manager) , Payton, and Jasmine were BEYOND EXCELLENT! Between Payton and Jasmine’s service and their enjoyable personalities we were beyond pleased. Justin took it to the next level with his care and passion. Their dedication to their customers is unlike most places in the restaurant industry. TEXAS ROADHOUSE (franchise owner) you better do everything y’all can to keep these 3 people in this company or it will be y’all’s loss. THANK YOU for a great experience. “Catch you outside Justin” ahaha“

“I’ve visited intermittently when I’m in the area for work. Jamie, the bartender, has remembered my drink and order from my first visit onward, even to knowing how many beers I like and the sides for my order. She has done an amazing job making me feel comfortable at her bar and in the restaurant!“

“Went here for lunch with my girlfriend the other day during work and I tried the burnt brisket ends with side of mac. They were delicious. Girlfriend got a pork sandwich and liked it as well. She tried a piece of my brisket and love it as well. Chicken was sold out that whole day unfortunately due to a large order but will likely be back to try more items. Not expensive here but not cheap either but you pay for good BBQ. Definitely come give this place a try if you're into good BBQ.Parking: Limited parking.“

“The food was very good the ribs that I had were really juicy and had a lot of meat, the Mac n cheese wasn't dry and didn't taste completely like cheese just the perfect in between ,the service was awesome the guy asking for our order was loyd enoughfor us to hear and treated us with the upmost respect,The atmosphere was just like a home barbecue with the familyand friends. Overall just a great place and would eat there again“

“The restaurant was clean and inviting BUT be prepared to wait in line. I stood in line for 30 minutes with only 3 people ahead of me.. It’s only one person taking orders and payments, preparing the orders.. also make sure you go at least an 2 hours before the restaurant closes they run out of food.. I got there 730pm and oxtail among other items was sold out.“

“Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Indy. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything we tasted melted in our mouths. Absolutely the best BBQ around. Highly recommend!“

“Best BBQ I've ever tasted in my life. The people are very friendly, the speed of the service is amazing. The price/quality ratio is simply excellent. If you are ever in this place, be sure to try the BBQ ribs, you won’t regret it?‍?“

“We showed up about 9:30 with what was supposed to be a party of 8. That's 30 minutes before the kitchen closed. We were seated right away, and our server was more than helpful and gracious. She made sure our order was placed before the kitchen closed and took very good care of us. We only ended up having four in our party, but we're very thankful for such a positive experience that late.“
