I have had BBQ across the US. And I have to say this is some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Memphis/ St Luis can't beat this food. Perfect smokey/ tangy/ spicy blend. Even the sides were perfect! I know my new go to when in for conventions! read more

This place is a complete disappointment. Been there about 5 times for live music and every time, they are out of something...brisket, mushrooms, the last 2 times they had no diet soda available. There are people in my party who do not drink, and do not drink water at restaurants due to now knowing the quality. It is always hot there, summer or winter. The "patio" is their asphalt parking lot, which is sweltering in the summer, I've tried to go inside to cool off, but the A/C isn't working. In the winter, they crank the heat so high, it's like a sauna. The prices are exorbitant and most of the time I cannot get what I want. You would think with brisket being the highest priced meat, they would ensure they would have that every day, The parking situation is a joke. Very small lot, but can't be parked in on Sunday because Broad Ripple doesn't charge for parking, but you end up having to park either blocks away or circle the block for 20 minutes for a spot to open up. read more

Fantastic! Great BBQ. Live music. Super friendly staff. Absolutely perfect. If you haven't tried this hidden gem in Broad Ripple, I highly recommend going out of your way for it. read more

317 BBQ - Street corn - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This was a very relaxed and fun environment. There are QR codes/numbers at each table so you can just choose your table and oder online and its brought out to you. They also have a small selection of beer, ciders, and wine and also some board games. They do have a small parking lot and outside seating available. I had the half order of chicken nachos and they were so good and filling, can definitely be shareable. The wings were also good and tasted as if they came straight from the grill. The staff were all friendly and I look forward to returning. read more

We came here after a butler basketball game a few months ago, and I'm so glad we came! We came for the devour menu, which was a great deal. The deviled eggs and the baked beans were our favorite, but the meat we ordered was cooked perfect. The banana pudding was also amazing! I love that they have games you can play and a casual atmosphere. We will be back in the summer to enjoy the patio! read more

Not recommended. My visit to 317 BBQ was a big letdown. I ordered the 1/2 pound brisket and a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs, and both were pretty disappointing. The brisket was leathery and dry -- the kind you really have to work at just to chew. It didn't have that tender, smoky pull you expect from good BBQ. The ribs weren't any better -- dry, underseasoned, and lacking any real flavor or bark. They honestly tasted like they'd been sitting around too long after being microwaved to dry out the meat. For a place that specializes in BBQ, I expected way more. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but based on this experience, I won't be rushing back. There are plenty of other spots in Indy that do barbecue much better. read more

317 bbq Environment: well clean, modern, quiet for lunch, great area and lots of room and games for the family, dog friendly, easy to order and quick service. Food: hands down amazing, the sides are incredible and you must get the biscuits and the Mac and cheese. The sandwiches and meat were great, well seasoned and big. Bbq sweet and savory. Would definitely come back and get the same order. read more

We heard about this place from some friends while we were on vacation and put it on our list for our next dinner out. It was a perfect Saturday night. The weather was awesome and they had some live music out on their patio. The restaurant was pretty empty considering we arrived at 7:45. All orders are taken on line from the table with the exception of alcoholic drinks that you go to the bar to purchase. We ordered the nachos with pulled pork. The pickled onions and veggies are a huge bonus. They really add a lot of flavor. The pulled pork on our nachos was good however it was refrigerator cold. I don't think they warmed it up or put it in the oven before putting all of the vegetables on top. The dish was good, but I think would be much better if the protein was actually hot or at least warm. We also had the chopped brisket sandwich. It was warm but certainly not hot. Lots of good flavors. Be prepared for plenty of fat in that sandwich. It helps to add flavor but probably a fifth of the protein was purely fat. The biscuit is a 10. Make sure you get that as a side. The bartender was super friendly and talked with us about the food and also some of the beers that they have on tap. Overall, even though there were a few misses on the food, we will for sure come back and give it another try. read more

Worst bbq in the city. Smoked wings and brisket were incredibly dry to the point my jaw hurt. Burnt ends were chewy (not rendered), Mac n cheese was split and didn't taste good. The only ok thing was pulled pork which shockingly wasn't overcooked. The biscuits even had a weird flavor and had pepper on them. Wouldn't recommend. At all. read more

We did a DoorDash delivery from 317 and the food traveled pretty well. The ribs and brisket were both well smoked and had good flavor. I preferred the potato salad over the baked beans which had an unusual flavor. The beans weren't bad, just a little non-traditional and not my first pick. I also had one of the $2 biscuits with black pepper and honey. It was nice but would have been better fresh out of the oven. It seemed like it was probably baked earlier then reheated with the honey before serving. I know 317 has had some ownership changes since we last ate there. We'll give them another try again in the future. read more

317 BBQ - Carry out ribs and brisket, plated at home. - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food was excellent, atmosphere was great with friendly staff. They even had a live band! And it was clean.

First time visit to 317 BBQ with some friends. Pleased to see that they had Baby Back ribs on the menu, the best kind of ribs. You order at the table with a QR code, and food is delivered quickly. The bar serves a nice variety of beers, including one of my favorite local brews from Chilly Water. I had the baked beans for a side, made with brisket. Nice to see children playing games that are provided and having fun with their families. Next time I go (soon!I will try a brisket sandwich that was not available on my first visit. read more

My friend and I really enjoyed the outdoor area, 'the porch men' had so much groove than is anticipated that we stayed a couple hours

Will never eat here again. The food we ordered tasted like package food. Potato salad was watery - Mac and cheese was not creamy at all. They put shredded cheese on top that did not melt- this was probably dur to the fact it was never warm to begin with. Ribs tasted like they were from overnight- the beans tasted like canned pork and beans- okra had no season but wasn't really a big deal. The only decent thing we ate was the chicken wings and banana pudding. Spent too much money for the trash food we got. read more

The food was AMAZING. We ordered way too much and brought some home for leftovers! The service was great. We opted to stay inside instead of sit in the outdoor space just due to the heat. But they offer outdoor seating and indoor seating. This place is kid and doggy friendly which is always a plus! There is limited parking right beside the restaurant but they have street parking too! read more

The menu had some great options. I went for a meatloaf burger. It was straightforward and tasty. My friend had some brisket that was reportedly delicious. The sides were also a great selection; fried okra, Mexican street corn, yum. You used a phone app to order and the food came quickly. You had to order your drinks from the bar in person, which I prefer. The bartender was helpful navigating the all-local brew list. We sat in the back room which was a big open space. It was rough and space, but had a nice warm character. There were families and couples there, nice mix. Everyone felt welcomed and comfortable. Would definitely come again. read more

Great new BBQ spot in broad ripple. I got the baked beans and pulled pork. The pulled pork was great and the baked beans were amazing. For an upscale BBQ joint the price of what I ordered was really good, too. Everything on the menu except the brisket had a good price. The vibes inside are really good, it's very clean, and the staff is EXTREMELY friendly. Check this place out if you like BBQ. read more

I am a huge brisket fan and am on my quest to find the best brisket in Indiana. I can say confidently that 317 BBQ is in my top 5. The brisket was tender and the portion was perfect. I also got the Mac and cheese and it was tasty. I think the best deal is the family meals. We plan to do that next time we go! Our server was friendly and very attentive. I can't wait to go back! read more

YES! As good as I had hoped for and then some! Before diving into the actual food, I want to point out how family friendly and welcoming this business is. They offer outdoor seating and quickly bring over clean high chairs to make the process of eating out with kids as seamless as possible. Our server quickly greeted us and lent a hand. Also worth noting, they have their own in-site parking! Talk about a parking jackpot in the heart of Broad Ripple. I made a mental note for next time. I ordered the two meats and two sides combo and dejected the pulled pork, ribs, coleslaw and baked beans. The meats were both so juicy and the ribs were loaded with meat (ya know how sometimes they're...not). The baked beans were my favorite if the two sides. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

317 BBQ - Duo platter with two sides (and amazing pickles!) - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Overall I would rate them 3.5 stars. My friend and I were super excited to check this place out. It's right in the heart of broad ripple. They have a lot but it's pretty small. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. The service was ok. It could have been a bit more attentive. Also they brought the dessert out with the entree. The deviled eggs were good. The bacon jam added just the right touch. The entree came out pretty quickly. The highlights were the meat and biscuits. The meat was perfectly smoked. There was quite a bit of fat included. The sides were just ok. Nothing spectacular. The strawberry shortcake was a bit disappointing. The strawberry sauce had a odd flavor to it. The biggest complaint we had is this meal is designed for 2 and they don't bring out any plates to eat it on or extra silverware. We will likely check out other bbq joints before returning. read more

We had dinner here on a warm, but rainy week night and were able to snag a spot in their parking lot and a table in the covered patio area which meant we got to enjoy the nice spring weather and still stay dry! Since this was my food trip here, I went classic with a pulled pork sandwich and side of green beans. The pulled pork was delicious! It was tender and so flavorful. The portion was very generous too, so taking that into account, the price was reasonable. I opted for the sweet heat sauce, which came on the side, and really liked it. It had a little kick, but no burning mouth. I'm guessing that they would probably bring an extra cup of the sauce if asked as the default is one small paper condiment cup. If you like a lot of sauce, I'd suggest asking for this up front. The green beans were quite good and nicely seasoned. I definitely want to try other items here. Other than the sandwiches, the meats are all sold by the pound, and, as with the sandwiches, all sides are a la carte. I had a feeling I was going to end up with waaaay too much food if I started ordering anything but a sandwich and one side. I like leftovers though, so might just plan ahead for a time when I'm in the mood for multiple BBQ meals or will try to come with a little bigger group and plan to share things. Service was fast and friendly! read more

I went to the 317 barbecue for the Steve Hostetler comedy show December 12. I invited three friends to go with me and share a dinner and Convo before the show. The food was excellent! Some of the best brisket I've ever had! I will definitely return!! The service was fantastic! Courtney put a thrill in Service tonight. I much appreciated her with her great customer service and as far as the ambience of the place, it's unique it's a beautiful concept. It definitely works when it's warmer outside but sitting inside be pretty comfortable too the staff was great . I'll always recommend 317 barbecue.! read more

HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!!! was disrespected by the bar and then while I was trying to tell the owner about the he incident, he told me I was lying and that I was the one with the problem!!! He continued to walk away from me, when I asked him if he was just going to walk away from me, he said yes! He said that I was the only one in the place not having a good time... Not taking the horrible customer service serious, instead blamed it on me! note: I don't drink alcohol, so I wasn't trying to cause a conflict or a scene. WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE Ever! The owner and the lady behind the bar are the rudest ppl I have ever met in my life. So disrespectful! I even had and I walk 4 blocks to my park! i would not recommend! I will say this, I did have some of their food. It tasted great, bow the Cali Mac Cheese was not good, it was very greasy. other than that, the food was pretty good. it was just the service that was terrible! read more

Yum! A friend suggested we meet for lunch at 317 BBQ and it didn't disappoint. I was a bit confused, as it looks like you order at the counter, but we ended up having a server...not sure if they alternate based on how busy it is. I opted for the Lunch Box special - choice of meat (chicken for me), half-pint side (slow cooked green beans) and 4 oz. side (white cheddar mac and cheese) with a drink, all for $15. This is a great value for the lunch crowd and definitely filled me up. Plus, it came with an unexpected chocolate chip cookie! read more

I live in the broad ripple area and somehow I am just now visiting this spot. And let me tell you it didn't disappoint. I ordered the 24 hr smoked wings and a Cobra Gato and my friend ordered the Brisket Quesadilla. The service at the restaurant was great. Our server Nick did a phenomenal job managing incoming customers while serving seated guests at the same time. The atmosphere mirrored the food as it embraces a modern country flavor with a city twist. This location is in the heart of broad ripple and offers guests a great night life destination. I would recommend visiting! read more

I'm born and raised in Dallas, so this is just my opinion. Ribs were unseasoned and burnt. Green beans tasted raw, and not tender at all. Along with that, the bacon looked (and tasted) like it was boiled with the green-beans, again unseasoned. Mac and cheese was over all disgusting. And fries were fine, hard to mess that up. On top of that, restaurant was completely empty, and we tried to sit in the back area with my parents (who opted for pizza instead). And they were rudely kicked out. Not a please, but "leave now". Being new here, we asked where we could sit instead, hoping to eat the food fresh, and the kid shrugged his shoulders and said "don't know". Whatever though, lesson learned read more

It's the new kid on the block but it's not leaving anytime soon! After we took our first bite here, we quickly became fans and came back to try more. There's outdoor seating and sometimes you can savor the smells wafting over from the huge smoker in the parking lot. Place is clean, the service is friendly, there's metered parking (free on Sundays), and close to the Monon trail in Broadripple. The lunch specials are a great deal to sample a lot of what they offer. I recommend the spare ribs and the cornbread. I think their cornbread with the bacon butter is the best I've ever had. After being given a variety of their bbq sauces to try, I'm a fan of the mustard and classic. The all-purpose bbq surprised us with its cola taste but it does go with the meats. Overall we're happy with 317 BBQ and will be back for more! read more

I searched Yelp for some BBQ joints in Indy and at the top of the list was 317 BBQ. After looking at the photos, I determined this was my kind of BBQ place to visit. It is located in the artsy district of Broad Ripple so there are lots of people on the street. But 317 BBQ has its own parking for its customers which is huge in my opinion. 317 was also established in 2020 so it is pretty new. There is a patio area that is open to the outside but provides shelter. Since I am from Alabama, I believe and practice that fresh brewed sweet tea is a must with BBQ. The smooth sweetness mixes so well with the BBQ. Why don't you people on the Northside of the Ohio River want to accept one of God's greatest gifts? Haha I called beforehand and asked and all they had was the Pureleaf in the bottle which I have never had but probably like most bottled sweet tea with the exception of Milo's is an abomination to sweet tea. They said I could bring my own sweet tea so I showed up with 2 large cups of sweet tea from McDonald's and it was cool. I went with the 2 meat combo with pork and brisket and baked beans and potato salad and a biscuit with black pepper butter. It comes with a drink but since I brought my own, they gave me a cookie instead. The pulled pork and brisket was fabulous. This was Texas-style brisket with a good rub and a good mix of fat and the pulled pork was so easy to chew with such an excellent smoky taste. I would of sworn I was back in Texas or the Southeast. The portion wasn't huge but it was enough. All 3 sauces went well with the meat. Those 3 sauces are mustard, sweet heat, and a classic sauce which was a Texas inspired sauce as a ketchup base with black pepper and probably chiles. The waitress asked me which sauce I wanted? If you know me or read my reviews, you should know my answer to that. I told I want every single one. They do charge for extra sauce but she only charged me for one instead of five so I will be thankful. The beans would rank among the best I've ever had. They were smoky, a little sweet, a little spice, and some brisket mixed in. The potato salad I wasn't too crazy about. It was more a diced style that tasted like it had celery salt in it. That's always a negative for me. The biscuit was nice and fluffy but I didn't see much value in the black pepper butter. This was the 4th BBQ joint I have eaten at in the Indy area. But I would say this one is more elite BBQ than the other 3 places (Big Hoffa's, Rackz, and Squealer's) I have been to, which also received 5 stars from me too. Taste the Texas and Southeast and bring sweet tea with you for 317 BBQ. read more

The baby backs are so good and the service was super quick and friendly. I left the consistency because every time I order it it's amazing.

I was really riding with this place for a while but something has changed in the process and the product has just not been great each time I have returned. This has nothing to do with the deviled eggs - leave those alone please. The most recent take out I ordered brisket, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, potato salad, mac n cheese and a biscuit. The brisket and the smoked chicken were both so incredibly dry we could barely eat them. Sausage however was juicy and the best part. Pulled pork was okay as well as the potato salad. I don't remember if the mac n cheese has changed but this had green onions and potato chips in it. I love green onions but they have no business being in my mac n cheese - chips added saltiness which was alright. It lacked cheese flavor and separated into a greasy mess. Super disappointed and will consider other bbq options from now on - seems like the basics are just not there anymore. read more

317 BBQ - Deviled eggs - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

317 BBQ was our choice for dinner after spending all day at the Pinners Conference. This was Kara's and Chris's first time here and I hadn't been since they opened. Parking can be challenging, especially with the construction, but we found a spot in the parking lot next to 317 BBQ. The restaurant has a mixture of 4-tops and high-top tables and a small patio. Garage Doors make for an open, airy atmosphere. A lunch menu is offered 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The regular menu has all the meats, appetizers, sandwiches, sides and sauces you could want. Brisket, pulled pork, pork spare ribs, local Amish chicken, smoked sausage and house-made beef sausage are most of the meat selections. Deviled eggs, nacho's and smoked chicken wings are a few of the appetizers that stood out for me. Checkout the Signature sandwiches with pastrami, smoked turkey California Club and of course, the Classic sandwiches are available. I ordered the Smothered Baked Potato with smoked brisket and the Sweet Heat sauce, coleslaw, green beans and delicious cornbread. The Texas-style BBQ smoked over hard wood gives the meat a wonderful smoky flavor. My friends said they enjoyed their dinners as well. For dessert, they ordered banana pudding and I had a scrumptious hot, chocolate doughnut with Raspberry glaze and chocolate sauce drizzle over. Our server, Nick, was fantastic, personable, knowledgeable and attentive without being attrusive. Ask for him when you visit. Great location for good food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. read more

They currently offer delivery on Wednesdays from 3-5:30 and Sundays from 11AM-1:30PM, so we took advantage of ordering Sunday lunch. I ordered the Duo Deal - 1 lb of meat, 3 half-pints of sides, 2 biscuits, 2 cookies, and 2 sauces. I got the pulled pork, and added another 1/2 lb of brisket, another pint of sides, and cornbread since we had 4 adults. When we got the food it didn't look like much, but was more than enough for the four of us + leftovers. If you only have 2 people, I'd say the Duo is the best way to go - great value and you get to try a little bit of everything! Everything was packaged nicely and branded with 317 BBQ - I like that when you have a fridge full of takeout containers! Everyone agreed that the brisket and pulled pork were incredible - best around! And the sides were great, too. read more

First of all when I realized the location my first thought was... where will I find parking.. great news they have a small lot for customers only right next door!! Big points from me on this! When we got inside I wasn't sure if it was order at the counter or table - fortunately the staff were welcoming and indicated if we were dining in -grab a table and they'd come over to take our order. The table had a QR menu and a server came over and grabbed our drink and food order. The drinks and food came up quickly. My usual bbq order is pulled pork and then as many sides as I can try!! Here the menu didn't seem to have this type of combo plan - atleast not for the weekend (non lunch) menu. I ended up ordering a bunch of sides: trinity chili, mac n cheese, a sausage, green beans - all very good-- Hubby got the Brisket Sandwich and added a side of biscuits - the brisket was the star and we will be back for more read more

My mouth is watering for the tea and bun, not the food. Sad but true... The ratings, ambience, customer service, and presentation are all top-notch. The crew, working today, made the experience one to revisit. But, I'll pass. The food was mediocre, at best. I had the bbq brisket sandwich with white/yellow cheese macaroni. The pickles tasted more like cucumbers dipped in vinegar. The meat had a hint of seasoning (salt & pepper). The macaroni so simply bland. It was as though everything was microwaved. The best thing was the sweet tea and smoky bbq sauce. And, the bun.... The bun was delish. The vibe is great but the food needs time match. As a southerner, I was looking forward to enjoying some good smoky meat and yummy sides. On to the next one... read more

Funky little venue in the heartbeat of town! Street parking easy! There's a lot parking too! Friendly greeting! Excellent service!! Burnt ends - a bit tough! Bean Bowl - outstanding! Nachos - delicious ... jalapeño's on the side! Cornbread might've been good, but ruined with the drenching vs drizzle of sauce ... too spicy to eat! Potato Salad - excellent! Pork Sandwich filling and tasty. Traditional BBQ sauce all around! read more

On our way through midtown we decided to stop here for the last day of Devour Indy for dinner. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

For the entree, we ordered brisket and pulled pork with Mac and cheese, green beans and biscuits. The meat was tender and juicy, just great. The sides were also very tasty and filling.

It was a rainy, gross day. We decided to try and brighten things up by trying a place we'd been meaning to check out for ages, but hadn't made it to yet. We are so glad we did! First off, service was awesome. All of the guys we talked to were so friendly and helpful. And it's killing me that I can't remember our server's name, because I'd love to give him a shout out. But he was so kind, and just on it. Excellent service. The food is plentiful. We're talking huge servings here. We brought home a ton of food, which we will happily devour over the next day or so. My husband got a combo platter with the roasted chicken and ribs, as well as potato salad and chili. I had the (amazing) pastrami sandwich and my daughter had the smothered baked potato. We also ordered sides of the creamed corn (the FAVORITE) and baked beans to share. Oh, and before all of that, we started with the burnt ends! Everything was phenomenal. I'll be full well into tomorrow. We can't wait to visit again! read more
