When we first entered I thought it was small until we were seated in another dining room. There are long tables for seating. There is a bar as well. We started with the Crispy Pork Belly Bites which were sooo good. Then we all ordered a different dish and they came with different sides. It was all delicious and my son was happily satisfied! Good size portions. All our BBQ meat had good flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. I like that the bottom of the menu there are symbols to indicate what menu items are gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. Very casual atmosphere. Recommend trying it!

She was awesome and hooked me up with all three, which turned out to be the perfect move. The sandwich was massive--easily a third of a pound of meat. I went for the fatty cut, and it didn't disappoint; you could see a legit smoke ring on the meat and the deep, smoky flavor stood up on its own even before adding a drop of sauce. It was a solid experience from start to finish. I'm definitely swinging back through when I need a quick, heavy fix.

Once you walk in, you walk up to a counter place your order and they will call out your name on the order is ready for pick up. There is also a fully self service station for sauces as well as Takeaway boxes if you need them. The menu offers a lot of different combinations and samplers and meats from pork to chicken. The sides are also a little bit unique in the sense that the vegetable sides also have added bacon, which is great to see. I personally love to see hush puppies, which is a very antiquated and rare to find option for food. And they did not disappoint. Overall, I would say from the sampler of the ribs and the chicken were fantastic as well as the pulled pork. The brisket was OK, but did not necessarily stand out. We did try four different barbecue sauces, which were all fantastic. The hush puppies as I stated earlier were absolutely delicious and I would come back just for these. We also got the corn pudding, which was a little bit on the sweeter side, but made and baked fresh just like everything else here. And this was a great alternative to cornbread. To top it all off, the staff here was so super nice, especially the young man at the counter when you first walked in as he also offered up a sample of the corn pudding because I've never heard of corn pudding nor did I ever tried it and this was also my first visit. I would definitely come back here again, and/or visit any of their other locations closer to Indy.

Looks like there are also some fun extras to also purchase including souvenir cups, tees and their sauces. We've been here all week for a softball tournament and hands down agree this was our favorite meal from the trip! Plenty of room for large groups (we were here early around 4pm and it was getting busier by the minute), also a tavern in the front of the building so the bar is a bit secluded from the restaurant.

We got pulled pork, sausage, and brisket. It came with two sides. We got the green beans and pasta salad. It was $28.75. Your meal comes with free cheddar garlic biscuits with a side of apple butter. The pulled pork with some of the best we have ever had. The brisket was good as well, flavored nicely. We received three large pieces, however, there was quite a bit of fat on the pieces. We received two sausage links. The sausage was slightly spicy, which we like. However, of the three meats it was our least favorite. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended the green beans. Her description of them was right on target and they were very good. Service was very fast and our bill was accurate. They are first come, first serve, and do not accept reservations. We would return again.

Pulled pork plate with baked cabbage and honey coleslaw. The baked cabbage and coleslaw were delicious. The sides are made fresh in-house. The portion of pork is huge. They put 1/2 pound of pork on each plate. I took more than half home for later. The plate comes with 2 pieces of Texas toast if you want to make a sandwich. Four types of house made sauce are on each table. Habanero bourbon sauce is spicy, sweet and was my favorite of their four sauces. I normally love Carolina sauce, but their Carolina sauce tasted overly mustard to me. Parking is tight, especially on Fridays at lunch.

There are plenty of options though there is no true 2 meat plate. That's ok because I made it work. I went with the spare ribs meal and then took the Chuck Norris home to my wife. The ribs were tasty but they gave my jaw a workout, which I do not like. The Chuck Norris though was an impressive sandwich. It came on Texas Toast with pulled pork, brisket, fried egg, bacon, onion, and Pimento cheese. The brisket or pulled pork would be what I would go to next time. For my sides, I had beans, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. All were phenomenal but potato salad was the best! It was a mustard base whipped style. The beans were the pinto beans/ranch style with tomatoes and a vinegar taste. The mac and cheese was creamy with goldfish on top. There are 4 sauces and all were phenomenal. I wish I could take all of them home!. You have the tomato bases in a mild, zesty flavor and a spicy, habanero flavor. There is also Carolina Mustard and Bama white. I think I loved the mild the most. There is fresh-brewed sweet tea which is hard to come by in Indiana but this Bama Boy would love it to be more sweeter. It was a step above water. The Chuck Norris, sauces, and sides make Rusty Silo easily a 4-star. If the spare ribs were easier to chew, a 5-star from this guy would have been given.
