The kitchen moved WAY faster than we were eating. Three or four minutes after we got our starters, we got our main course. Another two or three minutes later and the desserts are on our table. Who eats that fast? We weren't halfway through our starters but a bee was hard at work mauling our cheesecake.

We discovered Big Hoffa's on my last trip to Indianapolis, although in chatting with the bartender,…read morewe found out it's been there for years. I'm not sure how we missed it. The only reason I discovered it was because I had a craving for barbecue and started looking to see what was within 10 miles or so in the area. My husband and I decided to share a slab of ribs, because it came with two rolls and two sides. Perfect for seniors with smaller appetites. The ribs were really good, very meaty, as was my side, the mac & cheese. I took half of each of my portions home for another meal a couple days later. My husband had the baked beans as his side, and also enjoyed those. I tried the sweet sauce, which had a little bit of a kick but not much, and was just right. The garlic rolls were not quite as tasty as I'd hoped, more like a doughy dinner roll with some garlic and butter brushed on top. I was hoping they would have a little crunch, but that was a very minor thing in an otherwise great meal. The ambience was outstanding - we sat at the bar, it wasn't crowded, and we ended up finding out that we shared a mutual friend with one of the two bartenders who were there, which just added to the great experience.

A friend invited us to celebrate her birthday, so we came here. It was super busy so must be good…read more Ehh it was mediocre. For not having ever been we sure found out that apparently we didn't do ordering correctly. Has no clue that the other room which is the tavern apparently is where you order if you're going to sit in there. Again, it was busy and our first time so had literally no idea. The young girl who pretty much had an attitude and made us feel like we purposely ordered at the counter and went into the tavern was the end of the world. The staff in the tavern were so nice about it and honestly said it wasn't a big deal it happens so no worries. The food. The teriyaki chicken lacked flavor. Perhaps some smothering of the teriyaki so it actually tastes like it would have been better. Served in a take out box was also just weird. Presentation was very unwelcoming. If I wanted takeout I'd go get takeout. Perhaps a little tray how the brisket and beans were served with a side of extra teriyaki sauce and more veggies. This could have been so much better. The ribs were good but nothing to really rave about. Mac was so so. Slaw was good. My 1864 sandwich was bland. The brisket was not flavorful or anything. Lots of overcooked pieces. I guess I pictured a mixture of soft tender and flavored meat chunks but instead it was tiny burnt overcooked small bits with more Giardiniera than meat. Fries were seasoned very well. Beans were very tasty. Guess I should have stocked up on sides. Sweet tea was really good. Atmosphere was nice in tavern. Glad we sat there. The main dining area was too loud and crowded. Small tables and just too chaotic for us. I'd say this is a one and done. I really wanted to love this place. I had high expectations I suppose. Not exactly disappointed but definitely not satisfied. Our friends drove and hour and a half while it was about 40 min for us but now onto the search for some delicious brisket. Three meals and drinks for $54, definitely expected this to be top tier. The search continues. Three stars for the tea, sides, and amazing old fashioned drink.

I hate writing this because about a year ago Trax BBQ had some of the best brisket around. Back…read morethen the brisket was moist, flavorful, and you could actually request fatty or lean cuts. The fatty brisket especially was incredible. Tender, juicy, packed with flavor, and honestly didn't even need sauce. This recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. Apparently you can't request fatty or lean anymore, and the brisket I received was so dry it literally crumbled apart like beef sawdust. There was basically zero fat left on it, which also meant very little flavor. For the first time ever, the sauce wasn't optional... it was rescue equipment. The ribs were okay, but even they weren't what they used to be. They used to have that perfect fall-off-the-bone texture, and now they were just kind of there. Not terrible, just disappointing compared to how good this place once was. I'm not trying to trash Trax because I know how great they can be. That's actually what makes this frustrating. It feels like the brisket went from "Texas smokehouse masterpiece" to "beef jerky with a college degree."

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

City Barbeque near IU Indianapolis absolutely knocked it out of the park tonight!…read more We ordered dinner for pickup -- a pound of brisket, a pound of pulled pork, mac & cheese, and coleslaw -- and everything was outstanding. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and exactly what good barbecue should be, and the pulled pork was just as impressive. Even the sides were spot-on. I lived in Texas for 30 years, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to barbecue. I can confidently say City Barbeque would hold its own in Texas -- and I'd put this meal up against what you'd find at plenty of Texas barbecue joints any day. I also have to mention the gentleman who brought our order out to the car. It was raining, but he was incredibly friendly, conscientious, and made sure everything was taken care of. That kind of service makes a great meal even better. Excellent food, excellent service, and an excellent experience from start to finish. City Barbeque continues to deliver. We'll absolutely be back!
