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'd been wanting to check out 317 BBQ for quite some time, but I'll admit that I don't spend an awful lot of time in Broad Ripple these days. However, I was at a nearby strip center and decided to wheel around the avenue a bit and check out some of the recent additions. A sort of late lunch at 317 BBQ was a perfect addition to the afternoon. Right around the corner from 317 Burger, 317 BBQ took over the spot previously held by that Aussie burger joint (and yes, I've completely spaced the name). It's a free-standing building with a small side parking lot. As I was parked elsewhere, I didn't have to worry about parking this time around but this area does offer the side parking lot, a handful of street spots, and some nearby meters. 317 offers both inside and outside seating options, though in solid weather it looks like they have a set-up where they can open up their space even more. It's a unique decor - somewhat industrial, casual, but also stylish. All the sidewalks around here do have curb cuts, though Broad Ripple is a little hit-and-miss in terms of the condition of its sidewalks. While the area is going through quite a few upgrades, I still had to be fairly careful with some of the curb cuts. I sat inside and was greeted fairly quickly by Maddie (I'm not sure of spelling and name wasn't on the receipt). They are still using QR codes for their menu - I'd inadvertently left my phone in my car and was able to get an actual menu. The menu is fairly basic and obviously leans toward the BBQ/pork arena. They offer a handful of appetizers, meats, sandwiches, meals, house specialties, scratch sides, a handful of desserts, and they offer up five different sauces. They do have a drink menu - primarily beer and wine including some craft brews. I went with my usual unsweetened iced tea. I opted for a pulled pork sandwich. It arrives with pickles and sliced onion, though it was on the side (which I appreciated). The sauce is also on the side (which I also appreciated). They have several side options, though no fries to be found here. I actually don't mind that myself, though it's worth noting. I find fries to often be a very Americanized side option and it's nice when a restaurant remains faithful to more traditional options for a meal. I did actually order a buttermilk biscuit that comes with honey-black pepper butter. I loved the sandwich. It was perhaps just a touch greasier than I'd prefer - I'm a slightly spastic paraplegic and tend to avoid messier foods. However, it worked out well and was super tasty. The 317 Classic BBQ Sauce was a sublime addition to it - definitely on the milder side for those of you who prefer something a bit spicier. It was also a pretty solid serving for a $12 sandwich. I loved the biscuit. I was worried it would be just a puny serving, but it was actually quite nice and very tasty. My tea was refilled once and that's always a plus. Maddie was super friendly and attentive in a genuine way. While I might be tempted to drop a star with the slightly greasy sandwich, Maddie earns that star back with solid service. She moved the chair (always helpful). I also really, really liked that when my tea refill was brought that she didn't drop down the bill at the same time - that's so common and for me it sends me message "I'm done with you now." It's understandable, especially since my meal was done, but I really appreciated having some time to linger and relax. With my current leg injury, I'm not dining in as much these days and when I do I want to enjoy it. That really helped me relax and enjoy it. She also came over to grab the door as I was leaving (which I didn't need, but the gesture was nice). The entire meal came in at about $18 without tip. If you drink beer, that will also go up as that ranges from $4.25 for domestics to $6.50 for most of the craft options. I've always been impressed with the 317 brand and 317 BBQ maintains that good impression. I'm not always a BBQ guy, but this will definitely be one of my first choices when I get in that mood. It's relatively close to my home and with fair prices, great food, and even better service this was just the experience I needed on an early Spring Saturday afternoon. read more

This is a pretty good BBQ joint in an unusual location (Broad Ripple were the New Zealand burger chain used to be). They have a big patio in the parking lot (they also have private parking here) where you can bring dogs. Brisket is nice and moist. Prices are a little high, but will definitely return. read more

317 BBQ - Smoker - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

So many things went great in a row! First, I called to place a takeout order and the woman on the phone was super friendly. She was patient and repeated my order back to me (love when they do that!). Second, parking can be tough in Broad Ripple, but when I pulled up, I noticed that they have a side, free parking lot for customers only. There's only a few spots and it's tight, but there were spots available, so that made it a lot easier to run in and snag the food. I got a pulled pork sandwich and loved it. The bbq sauce was good and I like that you can choose between a few different sauces. I also got one of their meal deals to deliver to my friend that just had a baby. They said the mac & cheese and biscuits were good too. Thanks, 317 BBQ! read more

Very very delicious BBQ, we got some sort of platter for 2 and it was not enough for 2, not because it was a small serving but because we wanted more ;) the bbq itself was delicious without drowning it with their bbq sauce, hence that's why you're limited on sauce not unlike other bbq places where they give you containers full of bbq sauce this place doesn't do that. Because their bbq is already tasty without needing the bbq sauce. Very Smokey and flavorful bbq! read more

Food fantasies come true! We ordered the duo plate for three of us and had leftovers!! Mac and cheese, coleslaw, waffle fries, biscuits (OMG!!) and two meats, got brisket and 1/2 of a chicken!! The service was fast and easy, you don't really have a waiter but everything is pretty easy and self explanatory. The kids loved the coloring papers and the games! It was a great place to spread out with a large group!! We had such a great time read more

Staff was nice but the food wasn't good. To be a bbq place, the ribs should practically slide off the bone. Very tough and little to no seasoning. The macaroni & cheese must've been out of a box. Half the noodles didn't have cheese. I took it home hoping to revive it but it was DOA. DEAD ON ARRIVAL!! Couldn't resuscitate! read more

This is how you do BBQ! Went for the first time during lunch on a Friday. My boyfriend and I both got the lunch box special, choice of brisket, chicken, pulled pork, or oyster mushroom sandwich, half-pint side, one 4oz side, and a cookie for $16. You could upgrade for the brisket or a soda and we were blown away! The pulled pork was perfection with the classic sauce, all the sides were amazing and the biscuit was superb! My boyfriend had the brisket and ordered some extra cornbread. You get a lot of food, we came hungry and barely were able to finish our meals. We are already planning our next trip to eat here again. My mouth is watering just writing the review! read more

317 BBQ - Pulled Pork sandwich, green beans, white cheddar Mac and cheese, biscuit with black pepper butter - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Bland. My boyfriend recommended it because he had great memories of it but I am assuming the quality plummeted

I'm giving 2 stars, which might be generous. Family member placed a to-go order via Toast for a Family Meal Deal, selecting 1lb Brisket (+$10), 1lb Pulled Pork & 1lb Pork Ribs, Family Sides of Green Beans, BBQ Baked Beans & Horseradish Coleslaw, 8 Biscuits, Classic BBQ Sauce & Kim Bobs Mustard Sauce + 2 orders of Fries. $131 Subtotal + 9% taxes + $7 mandatory Gratuity = $149.79 Total. Food was quickly ready; within 20min we opened our packed to-go bags... only to find our brisket was missing! After a phone call I drove back to get the brisket they acknowledged had been forgotten to be packed. The parking lot is off Guilford; the driveway is only wide enough for a single vehicle to enter/exit at once. Parking spaces are wide with plenty of room for egress, but there are only a few. Inside, lighting is low. One person was paying for a to-go order, but otherwise the restaurant appeared surprisingly empty on a Saturday. The 3 waitstaff appear quite young -- think high school, not old enough to shave young. A man (30s-40s, owner or manager?) was sitting right next to the door just monitoring the waitstaff; I didn't realize he was working until he called to one of the teens after I had been standing there being ignored for a few minutes -- the kid got a "deer in headlights look" until directed to greet me. First day on the job? No idea, but the energy was chaotic & VERY green. I stated I was picking-up missing brisket, & the man directed the teen to a bag on the counter. The man was very apologetic, explaining they also gave us a free banana pudding as an apology, for which I thanked them, accepted the bag... & everything inside started falling over immediately because it hadn't been secured like the previous bags. I tried to rearrange things, but gave up & made sure to hold the bag while driving home to avoid making a mess. As others have mentioned, the meats are packaged on top of a slice of white bread. Perhaps to absorb grease? It's just a bit strange, & it makes it tough when trying to serve pulled pork, which likes to stick to the bread. We also had only 1 2oz cup each of BBQ & mustard sauces in the initial bags -- nowhere near enough for a family meal to feed 6-8, as stated. 2 more 2oz cups of BBQ sauce had also been included in the last bag, so that was good. How did everything taste? Unfortunately, the brisket was lukewarm at best; it truly had been just sitting on a counter for 30+min. I also found it to be a bit dry & completely flavorless, requiring BBQ sauce for any discernible flavor. Pulled pork was better & somehow retained more of its heat -- still not much seasoning, but at least its texture was moist! Pork ribs were a disaster, though -- cold, old & had the texture of next-day leftovers. The outside of the rack had a dark caramelization suggesting it had been sauced, but that was just a flavorless, rubbery skin that only served as an unappealing, unwanted texture. What about the sides? The Horseradish Coleslaw was quite good! Not too spicy, but nicely flavorful, & still pretty crunchy! Recommended. BBQ Baked Beans were made with bits of meat in them, which was a nice surprise, but the meat adds more texture than flavor; the sauce did all the heavy lifting in terms of flavor. There also seemed to be some red bell pepper or maybe pimiento, too? This is clearly from-scratch, & also recommended. Green Beans, however, were a total salt bomb. Also made with either red bell pepper or pimiento, these would have been solid had they not been way oversalted. I did not try any fries or biscuits, but the other 4 adults+3 small kids only ate a few bites, if any, & half the fries weren't eaten. Unfortunately, the Banana Pudding was a runny, soupy mess. I tried a spoonful of it anyway; while the "pudding" flavor was decent, it was a failed broken custard & not at all anything that should have been served to customers. My mother had a bite, quickly concurred, & emptied the rest down the garbage disposal. THIS was what we got for $150?? Totally not worth it. I debated giving only 1 star, but 2 sides were good, the other had clear potential, & I appreciated the attempt to remedy the forgotten brisket with a free dessert even if said dessert was a failure (of execution, not flavor). That said, this is 317 BBQ, not 317 Side Dishes, so perhaps this is a 1.5 star review? Or maybe I'm just trying to be generous. NOT RECOMMENDED read more

It's always good to have a good bbq place in your neighborhood. Broad Ripple was missing a menu like this on its streets! I had a bowl of the hillbilly chili. It was super filling, had just enough heat from the jalapeños, and the perfect pair to the chilly evening I visited. I've got my eye on the deviled eggs, not cho nachos, and chili mac dish for my next visit! read more

Good BBQ in a brewpub setting. Decent beer selection including beers brewed right next door. Pork Belly Burnt Ends with Deviled Potato Salad on the side was a filling & most satisfying lunch.

I have eaten a lot of ribs and these were hands down the worst I have ever had. I had trouble pulling them apart with both hands. I attempted to eat them and then asked to talk to a manager. Person I attempted to talk to did not really seem to care and said "sorry" and then walked away. I would have given less than a 1 star if it was an option. m read more

Five stars for the staff- so friendly and prompt! 1 star for the food. I had some nachos and Mac and cheese. Honestly I've had better Kraft Mac and cheese and the nachos were interesting. I ended up mainly just picking off the pork that was on there and eating that. I don't know how but the chips were so mushy. Wasted a lot of food, which makes me so sad. read more

Service was top tier. Food came out fast and hot. We got the platter with Brisket and Ribs. It was more than enough for two ppl. We also had the Mac, baked beans and deviled egged potato salad. All sides were good except the potato salad, it was pretty bland, tasted nothing like a deviled egg. I think my favorite thing was the biscuits they were soooooo good gotta ask for cinnamon butter......Other than that the meat was tender and had great flavoring. Will be back soon. read more

I had my mouth prepared and set to taste some good bbq with scratch made sides like the website promoted. We ordered our food at 7:01pm our food did not come to the table until 7:30pm. Upon arrival the food was warm/lukewarm surprisingly not piping hot for the wait. The rack of ribs were very hard on the top and barely tender in the middle. The macaroni could have passed as macaroni salad because of how cold it was. The biscuit was good and soft. The banana pudding was okay but had a curdled consistency I didn't care for. My husband ordered last minute order of chicken and that was the hottest thing we had but was a tad salty. For almost $60 I left highly dissatisfied read more

I went here last Saturday night for a late birthday celebration. First time coming here. We sat outside the evening was just the right temperature. We ordered the Duo meal for 2, you really get alot of options, and the price is the less I think than if you ordered a meal separately, plus I feel like you got more. The service was very attentive I think she was the manager. I wanted sliced beef brisket, my friend wanted ribs. You got 3 sides with the meal. Together we decided on Mac and cheese, green beans, and potato salad. It came with 2 biscuits and 2 cookies. We did the cornbread instead of the cookies. It was a great choice. The meal came out everything was hot and fresh. It also came with 4 sauces classic bque, sweet spicy bque, vinegar that tasted like steak sauce didn't care for that one, and a mustard sauce. I never tried that. My friend said it was good. You eat out of these little boat containers. I just asked for another tray it worked better for me. Now onto the taste of the food. Meat- Beef brisket with both bque sauce delicious. The meat is so tender. I am not a big rib person, but the meat falls off the bone it's that tender. You get 2 slices of beef brisket, and 4 ribs total. Sides- the green beans were ok for me. My friend loved them, for me it had a really strong chicken base broth. The potato salad was really good and solid potatoes. The Mac and cheese, so I really wanted to be a fan of this because it's made with so many cheeses especially the bechamel cheese. It was very, very dry and sticky. So when our waitress came out to see how we liked everything I told her everything and she said I thought the Mac and cheese looked dry. I am thinking in my head why bring it out with the food. She said let me get you one that looks good. Let tell you when that came out, now that was amazing Mac and cheese. Creamy and cheesy. Such a huge difference. I was really happy I said something. Sorry didn't get a new picture of the Mac and cheese. The corn bread was really moist and good, the bacon butter really complements the bread. The biscuit I tried days later warned up and it was really good as well. I will definitely make the drive to come back to broad ripple to eat here again. Yum read more

I made a large order for $317 for a small gathering. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the smoked wings as they were overcooked and clearly burnt (see picture) and the greens were undercooked and bland.

I like having another BBQ option nearby when we are wanting to mix things up a little. 317 BBQ has decent BBQ and side selection; we haven't been blown away by our entire meals the times we've dined in, but individual dishes stood out. The deviled eggs with bacon jam are a great starter; there is a little horseradish pickle flavor mixed into the creamy egg yolk and a dab of slightly-sweet bourbon maple bacon jam makes for a tasty, well-balanced bite. I have also ordered the trinity chili (with beans), which combines ground sausage, brisket, and pork shoulder. Although I was expecting larger chunks of meat (instead of mostly minced), the chili had a nice smoky flavor and its leftovers kept well the next day when I spruced it up with more seasoning. I also enjoyed the addition of horseradish in the house slaw; I love seeing a creative twist on an item, rather than the same tired old version of creamy slaw. As I'm trying to be low-sugar, I was excited to see a zero-sugar BBQ sauce option during our first visit...but it was probably the most disappointing thing we tasted. Like another reviewer mentioned, it tasted like unseasoned, cold tomato sauce and felt tragic (especially since sugar-free BBQ sauce options are starting to be more prolific). By our second visit, the sad sugar-free option disappeared; I hope they dust off the recipe and try again. The smoked BBQ meats were good, but I'm typically more invested in the side items. My partner did comment that the brisket was better than average and I particularly liked the smoked sausage from local Old Major Market. The pastrami meat was a bit too salty, even for pastrami, and sliced a little too thin; but, an "A" for effort and for using Rene's Bakery for the pastrami sandwich's bread. Service was friendly and average. The beer list was average and my partner's can of IPA didn't have the freshest brew date, but you can't really knock a beer paired with BBQ...even staler beer has that BBQ synergy going for it. On our most recent visit, if you choose to dine-in, you pick out your own table, get the menu via QR, and someone will be out to take your order. The atmosphere is more modern, with stainless steel and wood accents, and there are various TVs around playing sports stuff. I'd recommend checking it out and especially appreciate 317 trying to incorporate items from local businesses when possible. read more

One of the best BBQ places in Indy!! So many great items for me to eat with a gluten allergy. All the meats are gluten free and tons of the sides are gluten free. One of the only places that has parking in Broad Ripple. Services is quick and on top of taking care of you! We have done a few catering orders as well... makes for a quick easy meal for large or small events! They have a taproom in the back, so you can sit inside with A/C or sit outside. Deviled Eggs - so good and gluten free without the bacon sauce. Prime Beef Brisket - my favorite meat they serve!! Hands down best in town. read more

10/30/21 My friend and I were craving BBQ and decided to visit 317 BBQ. The reviews intrigued us and we were recommended by friends to check it out. I ordered the Pick 2 Combo Platter. I selected the ribs, sausage, with sides of trinity chili and the white cheddar mac and cheese. (I used the house sauce). For $18 I will say that the meal was very filling and worth it. However, the best parts of the meal were the sauce, chili, mac and cheese, and free homemade pickles. The ribs were a little bland and the sausage was tough, almost like a summer sausage. All that considered, I did finish the plate and clean the ribs. Aside from that, it felt as if I was eating in any generic gastropub. The vibes were kinda dull. But the food was served fairly quickly. As a hungry man, I was happily satisfied in a timely manner. Overall, the food was solid but not spectacular. I would recommend it to friends, but only the $18 combo platter. read more

317 BBQ is on Guilford Avenue in the Broad Ripple community of Indianapolis and should not be confused with 317 Burger which is just north and around the corner on Westfield Boulevard. 317 BBQ offers free off-street parking in a small private lot on the north side of the building. Anyone familiar with the Broad Ripple area will know how significant that can be. The establishment provides capacious seating in a combination of chairs and stools outside, on the patio, and inside. There is no bar seating. The interior dining area is an L-shaped space wrapped around an open kitchen. There is one wall-mounted muted television in the southeast corner. Recorded music plays quietly in the background. At this time they do not have a full liquor license, offering a sparing choice of beers and wines. The food choices are also somewhat limited. The menu lists appetizers, smoked meat, sandwiches, "meal deals", sides, desserts, and a kids' meal. All food is served on large paper-covered metal trays. Prices may be a bit on the high side for such a casual establishment, but by no means unreasonable. My son E and I were in one evening just earlier this week. The staff members were all very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. E ordered a half pound of Prime Beef Brisket with Deviled Potato Salad and Slow Cooked Green Beans on the side. I ordered a Pulled Oyster Mushroom Sandwich. We got an order of the Deviled Eggs to share. E thought the potato salad and the beans were excellent. The brisket he said was unremarkable but that the 317 Classic BBQ Sauce was quite good. I found the flavor of the smoked mushrooms on my sandwich somewhat distasteful. We agreed the Deviled Eggs were nothing special. One further negative thing about our experience were the flies I kept shooing away from my face and food, presumably a result of the doors standing open on a pleasant evening. read more

We got invited out to see a friend play an acoustic show at 317 BBQ in Broad Ripple. Parking on a Friday night in that part of town is ridiculous honestly. We paid to park about 2 blocks away. They do have their own parking lot but it was full. Once we got in the outdoor space, I realized that it was a covered patio with garage doors that open. I spotted my friend and headed over to the table. It was fairly warm but not unbearable in there. I ordered a róse. Then it was time for the important stuff, the food. I definitely wanted appetizers so we decided on the deviled eggs( Pickle juice, Sriracha, chive, bourbon-maple bacon jam, smoked paprika )and the bean crock served with Ruffles. I was the only one that wanted the bean crock but it was so good. I'm glad that I ordered it. The deviled eggs were good too. The bourbon maple bacon jam was what made them. They have different meats and options for the dinner. I wanted to try the brisket and the chicken(half). For sides I did the green beans and potato salad. My husband ordered a sausage(house made jalapeño cheddar beef sausage) and the Gandy Dog. They call it the pit masters snack. It's a smoked sausage wrapped in a tortilla with yellow mustard. He chose Mac and cheese as a side. I didn't try that but the Gandy dog was simple but outstanding. I wanted my own. The brisket was juicy and tender, sliced just the way I like it. Green beans had good flavor and potato salad was solid. The buttermilk biscuits that we ordered had a black pepper honey butter which was something I'd never eaten but would happily do so again. One of the best things on the plates were the house made pickles. I love pickles and this did not disappoint. We finished up the dinner with banana pudding. Whenever it's on the menu it's always something we order. I was too full to fully enjoy it but did have a small bite. I wish I had taken it home and refrigerated it to be super cold. I bet it would have been wonderful but the heat and all the food was making it impossible. So to sum up 317 BBQ I'd say eat inside to be able to enjoy the food. It's a personal opinion but I wish we would have. Things would definitely bring me back such as the pickles, bean crock, and the biscuits. Let me know if you've eaten here and if you'd visit again for the pickles . Until my next meal grab a fork and a knife and get eating........ Jennifeasts read more

Stopped in for lunch outside for the first time. I've heard good things, and was looking forward to trying it. I tried the lunch box with pulled pork, mac and green beans. I had the sweet/spicy BBQ and tried the mustard based sauce too. My husband had the lunch box with brisket and had it goat style with pickles, mushrooms and horseradish sauce. They have fountain coke products or bottled iced tea which we both had. Service was friendly, and it was a perfect day to sit outside. The pulled pork had a nice smoky flavor without being too dry, and the bbq sauces were good. The servings were large, lots of meat piled on the soft bun. There were pickles and onion on the side which I added to the top and dumped the BBQ sauce on top. Really good flavor. That Mac n Cheese was SO good! read more

A place in Broad Ripple that has its own free lot! The site of the former BurgerFuel restaurant has a fantastic new restaurant and its own parking lot on the north side of the building (pull in off of Guilford). My wife and I wanted to treat our oldest grandson to dinner and this was fairly close to his apartment. Since it was new and getting lots of great reviews, I combined my love of good food with the opportunity to spend time with my eldest. The place still needs some work on the interior, (concrete floors need a good cleaning), but the kitchen appeared bright and clean, all the staff had masks worn appropriately. They have the menus that you can pull up on your phones if you have the right app, and even though they didn't have any outdoor seating for the cold weather, the tables were spaced far enough apart that we felt comfortable dining in. This is Texas style BBQ and they offer a variety of meats including ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, and brisket. They also offer a couple varieties of chili including the Hillbilly Chili that my wife selected. It has a Trinity of meats including pork, brisket, and sausage served over fritos along with jalapenos, sour cream, pickled onions, etc. She thought it spicy, but not too strong. I don't know if they have any vegan or vegetarian options, frankly because I didn't look. I was there for BBQ! I ordered the pulled pork shoulder which had an excellent taste. They have multiple sauces available. I went with their mustard, pickles, and onion on my sandwich and it was delicious! The only negative I had was that the buns felt a little greasy to the touch (you can see the shine in the photos). Not sure what caused that. Note that all the sandwiches are ala carte, so it can get expensive if you start ordering sides and a full size sandwich. Most sandwiches offer a choice of full pound or half pound servings. They also have some family size meals or shareables, but these still can get a bit pricey if you aren't used to going out to nicer fully smoked BBQ houses. To my knowledge, they do not have a liquor license, so I believe most of the beverages are sodas or bottled waters. This place would be fantastic if they could get the right to serve craft beers with their BBQ! My grandson got the mac and cheese and my wife was able to get a bite and said it was delightful. I ordered the baked beans as a side and they were fantastic! Lots of brown sugar, and a bit of brisket in with the beans made it almost a meal in itself. Lots of layers of flavors and all worked well together. Highly recommend them! The staff were friendly and waited us at the table. We were provided napkins and plastic ware so we didn't need to wander around looking for any of that. I look forward to visiting them again and hope to try the ribs. If they are anywhere as tasty as the sandwiches and chili, it will be well worth the trip. Review #3863 read more

This meets all the expectations when you think of amazing BBQ locations it has a great selection of sandwiches and BBQ platters and really good drinks you can order. It's a great place to take you friends and family. They have a great vibe at 317 BBQ and I always want to order it on their really great online servicing application. It's great for prime time football games with your friends and if you want to take someone out to lunch it's perfect. I always get the Pick 2 meat options which comes with 2 sides as well. They have a really nice tasty pulled pork and shredded chicken that goes so well with their selection of sauces they make in house. I recommend the sweet and spicy or the house 317 sauce. My favorite thing has to be the Brisket and it is one of the best I've had. It's a good ratio of fat and juicy meat. If you're in the area surrounding Broad Ripple and want something exciting and deli soups please stop by 317 BBQ it will knock your socks off. This is a great Indy restaurant that locals seem to really enjoy. It has a really welcoming staff and it's one of those unique places that it taste great when you dine in and out. read more

I highly recommend getting the duo meal when coming with a group of 2 or 3 - two meats, three sides, biscuits, and drinks. Being one of the only BBQ spots in Broad Ripple (Half Liter in SoBro), this place will excel. I can't wait until they get their liquor license as well and stay open a few hours later on the weekends as well. Overall, food was solid and the prices were fair! I could tell they were new - the walls were empty, and they had one small tv in the corner. read more

We hit up 317 BBQ today Brisket was as tender as it gets, the Nachos were LOADED down, and this smoked chicken was juicy with crispy skin! A game of cornhole, Live Music, and CenterPoint Brewing took lunch over the top! read more

317 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My family and I had lunch here. We all enjoyed our meals. My younger daughter and I had beef brisket, which was good but not the best I've had. My older daughter and my son had pulled pork, which they enjoyed. My wife had the spare ribs, which she thought were good (although my wife isn't a fan of dry rubs). 317's sauces are good but not extraordinary. Their macaroni & cheese is great, perhaps the best I've had at a local BBQ restaurant. Their cornbread was a little dry. Lastly, their sweet tea (a must with BBQ) was just ordinary. In summary, 317 BBQ is a good choice for BBQ if you're in the area but it's not the best BBQ in Indy. read more

We were there on a Sunday night at 6 pm. We were disappointed to see that staples like brisket and ribs were sold out. So we chose duo menu option and picked meatloaf and sausage. Meatloaf was okay but sausage was lacking flavor. Out side items were potato salad, coleslaw and beans and those items were fine. Staff was attentive and place was clean, just somewhat disappointed in the food selection. read more

This by far has been the worst bbq I have had in my entire life. Ribs burnt, crusty and dry. Pulled pork more fat than meat. Baked beans taste like pork and beans out of a can. Fried Okra not hot and dipping mayo bland. Ordered cauliflower mac and didn't have it. 2oz cups of sauce for a meal for 2 was a disappointment. Horseradish watered down with old slaw mix. My first and last visit to this place. read more

Food was very good. The brisket is tender and flavorful and the BBQ sauces are vibrant. One of the only bbq places in Broad Ripple and it delivers. Service is very friendly and food is served timely. An interesting part of the restaurant is the open space in the back which is very flexible. After talking to the manager, 317 is working on a weekly board game night for college ages kids in that back room. It has many tables and a bar so it's the perfect place for this event. read more

317 BBQ - 1/2 lb Smoked Brisket Sweet Heat Slow Cooked Green Beans - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We love barbecue so we were interested in trying this place after work. As 3 people we shared 1.5 pounds of ribs, with a sweet and a spicy sauce on the side. We had Mac and cheese, green beans and potato salad. It was good food and the location in broad ripple is great. One note the sodas and water are all bottled or canned. It's a fun, casual place - worth checking out! read more
