The hubs wanted BBQ and to try a new place. So we popped over to check this place out. It is set up with long picnic tables so you may be seated with others (seat yourself) if it gets crowded but again, they are very long. They have a station with a few sauces so you can get as much as you want which is nice. Plus you can try a variety. They serve fountain sodas and a few beers. There is also a sauce of the month. This month it was a blueberry type. You can see into the kitchen and the guys working hard back there. We decided to try a few things: 1. The bang bang shrimp, not overly spicy and good. 2. The smoked fried chicken wings, good and I got buffalo sauce (that one you have to ask for) and that was delicious. 3. The rib tips with a side of mac and cheese and chili. The chili was a little spicy but good. Mac and cheese could use some salt and pepper but it was okay. He loved the rib tips-said they didn't need sauce; however, when he tried them with a sauce he didn't care for he said it complemented the meat. Goes to show just give everything a try! read more

One of the Best BBQ Spots Around! I've been to a lot of BBQ places, and this one easily ranks at the top. The burnt ends were incredible--super tender with just the right amount of smoky, caramelized goodness. And the sauces? Absolutely amazing. Each one had its own flavor profile, and I honestly wish I knew where they got them from (or if they make them in-house), because I'd love to have them at home. The atmosphere was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're a BBQ fan--you won't be disappointed! read more

We definitely would have given this place a 5 star review but the portion size vs money spent is not worthy. Ordered Ribs and Burnt Ends.. the multiple bbq sauces is nice but kids should be kept away (4 year old pumping sauce all over counter while parents sat down. Service was quick and Dining room was clean. Will save this spot for when we have extra $$ but definitely not for the once a week thing. read more

DA BOMB! Bombers BBQ could not have picked a better name. I had very high expectations with the rave ratings and they met every single expectation. The ordering and pickup process was seamless as well. The only thing I'd say is that it seems their daily specials are only valid for dinner time. We went early afternoon and the only valid specials were lunch specials. - Food 5/5: The Rib Tips (4.5/5) rolled in bombers sauce is on point! The Beef Brisket is slightly dry (4/5) but I was happy they gave us leaner meat. The Burnt Ends (5/5) were probably my favorite with a heap of smoky flavor. The St. Louis Ribs (4/5) were solid too. As for the sides, the cheddar jalapeno cornbread (3/5) was lost in all the other flavors but the sweet potato fries (4/5) were excellent. The sauces were all distinct. Next time, I'll muster up enough courage to try the Nuclear sauce. - Service 4/5: Solid service using walkie talkies to talk with the kitchen. I was impressed. - Cleanliness 4/5: There were enough people inside which is why we decided to order takeout. The side area for people to look at the smokers was a nice touch, and it was impeccably clean. - Ambiance 3.5/5 - Simple and straightforward. The strong aroma of smoky bbq was incredibly welcoming. read more

Here's the thing, BBQ is something that in my opinion - is quite easy to screw up. When one isn't careful, your meat can end up dry, your sauces tasting nothing but a mix of vinegar and whatever atrocious attempt.... Bomber's BBQ? Is NOT one of those, and the owners and chefs at this business CLEARLY know what they are doing, and the art of BBQ! Their meat is so tender, melts in your mouth, and sauces are super-flavorful! Their service is nothing to complain about, haven't had an issue with their service. My favorite are the brisket items, burnt ends, Mississippi Won Tons, buffalo shrimp and their mac n cheese! Totally recommend, given that Munster or NW Indiana doesn't really come into people's mind when you think of BBQ, but Bomber BBQ makes you straight-up feel as if you were in Texas or the south! read more

Outstanding. Sweet potato fries. Yes please. Beyond the amazing food the staff was top notch. We were asked at least twice about our experience.

I am a frequent customer here. Out the gate with that being said the consistency of there food quality is to be commended. At first look you will see the establishment is always clean!. There is plenty of parking in a private lot. All the meats are smoked to perfection. They offer brisket, ribs, pork and chicken. This is Serious Texas style bbq and I love it. The brisket always has plenty of flavor, as well as the burnt ends. Which you know before you even taste it. By the smell, as well as the beautiful smoke ring. The wings are ok. Probably my least favorite on the menu but not horrible. The sides are nice as well they're definitely not a weak link. They offer pretty much your traditional smokehouse sides. Long story short. YOU CAN GET SOME LEGIT BBQ IN INDIANA! read more

It has been a couple of years (sadly) since my last visit. It is great to see a local place succeed to the point that they moved to a larger space while they continue to maintain very high standards of food quality. I have three words for you: Brisket, bakedbeans, macandcheese. Some of the best brisket I have had from here to Texas. Bakedbeans were delicious; slightly firm rather than mushy, chunks of smoked pork and a slightly spicy (bomber??) sauce. Macandcheese has lots of flavor and perfectly cooked mac. One observation: my guest had burnt ends; they had very good flavor but did not appear to have been smoked as long as I have seen elsewhere; limited smoke ring and not "crusty" as they should be. He could not stop talking about the garlic aioli that comes with the sweet potato fries - a great complement to the sweetness. The new (to me) dining room is a terrific space for BBQ. Ordering process is straightforward and efficient. Bathroom and tables all kept clean. Excellent blues music in the dining room. I have got to get back here more often. read more

I ordered 2 slabs of baby back ribs last week with sides of the Smokehouse chili, jalapeño cheddar cornbread, slaw, but I don't recall the 4th side although I'd personally eaten all 4 by myself. My slab was very tender, very little fat, and perfect for me. My wife stated that her slab was a little bit fatty, but I wasn't aware of that slight issue until she'd finished. I would have switched slabs with her because this was her first taste of Bombers and was only eating the meat. I always order the chili and cornbread, but the slaw is seldom creamy enough for me. I love the variety of barbecue sauces as well, but I steer away from the hottest one, which I believe is the Atomic, because that sauce is a killer and the only sauce from a restaurant to shut me up on challenges for heat. read more

Well I'm from Ohio & I'm not sure if Indiana know how to do ribs. First, there was no grill smell surrounding the place. You know the smell of ribs you get with a charcoal grill. This place didn't have it. I got the rib tips & pork & beans with coleslaw & jalapeño cornbread. Hubby got 1/2 slab with macaroni and cheese & pork & beans. He said the macaroni and cheese was good. The Memphis sauce tasted off. The pork & beans was blah. Whatever sauce they base the ribs with was also just weird tasting. If you want ribs in Indian close to the Illinois state line...I'm not sure where to go, this just didn't do it for me. read more

3 Floyd's Brewing is well known in the Midwest, with their flagship American Pale Ale (Zombie Dust)…read moremaintaining a large following for beer enthusiasts, especially those that love hoppy beer. Their most popular beers (ZD and Gumballhead) were available in Wisconsin, so I've tried both when I lived there. The brewery began in 1996, and moved to its current location (Munster, IN) in 2000. They opened a brewpub in 2005, and this was the destination my wife and I were heading for, as we were seeing a relative that night but had arrived early. Unfortunately, I didn't get the memo, as the brewpub has been closed since 2020 (that's six years ago), which is now blindingly obvious as I read more information about the brewery on my computer while researching for this review. Luckily, the folks working there were exceedingly kind, appreciating that we had come a ways to visit. Their small retail store is open, and we were able to pick up some merch (mostly stickers), a pack of playing cards ($12) as well as a six pack (in bottles) of their Robert the Bruce Scotch Ale (I knew about this beer but never had a chance to try it...quite good, especially for $11 for a six pack). I had also picked up some Scotch Ale earlier in the trip (Warped Speed from Lake Louie Brewing) so this trip was becoming beneficial to add to my beer collection at home...now need to find Founders Dirty Bastard (which is sold in my area) as well to have 3 of the Scotch Ale variety that I've tried and enjoyed. It was clear to the employees that we talked to, that they like the brewpub to reopen but don't know of any plans to move forward. 3 Floyds is doing quite well, expanding their distribution business, so sounds like that's the focus. There were many stories I found about plans to double the size of the brewpub and open a biergarten adjacent...but they were from 2023. As of now, couldn't find any other stories explaining the lack of movement since then.

Once I discovered there is still a place only 20 minutes away in Indiana, I had to make the trip. Getting there was fairly easy and the lot was large enough for several cars. Upon walking in we were greeted by a host and shown where to sit. Yall the dining area could have used an update and a vacuum. There were napkins and small bits of food all over the floor and the upholstery on the benches and chairs could have used cleaning. My sister was so bothered by how dirty the carpeted floor was she mentioned there was a vacuum near the bathroom, lols. Anyway, our server was really nice and while we were set to order a deep dish pizza, she let us know the restaurant would close in about an hour. Yall I googled the place and made sure it would be open later because, I mean...we crossed state lines. We settled on a salad (it was ok) and thin crust pies. They were good, nothing to drive to another state for, but good. I did enjoy the crispy chip things they gave us, it really took me back to my 57th street days! Overall I would probably order takeout and a deep dish, but maybe skip the dine in until they can get a manual vacuum on that carpet during dining hours.

Finger-Licking Goodness, Bombers BBQ is a hidden gem that every barbecue enthusiast needs to discover. From the moment I walked through the door, the tantalizing aroma of smoked meat hinted at the deliciousness that awaited, and my visit did not disappoint. First and foremost, the star of the show at Bombers BBQ is undoubtedly the barbecue itself. I opted for the sampler platter, and it was a carnivore's dream come true. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a perfect balance of smokiness and sweetness in the sauce. The Burnt Ends were beautifully marbled and had a rich, smoky flavor that was simply irresistible. And let's not forget the shrimp, which was incredibly moist and packed with smoky goodness. The variety of sauces on the table allowed me to customize my barbecue experience to perfection. The sides at Bombers BBQ were no afterthought either. The mac and cheese was creamy had just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess, It's evident that the same attention to detail that goes into smoking their meats extends to every element of the meal. The atmosphere at Bombers BBQ is welcoming and unpretentious. It's the kind of place where you can roll up your sleeves, dive into a pile of mouthwatering barbecue, and truly savor the experience. The friendly and attentive staff added to the overall warm ambiance, making me feel right at home. Bombers BBQ is a barbecue lover's paradise. The flavor-packed meats, delectable sides, and friendly atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for anyone craving the ultimate barbecue experience. I left Bombers BBQ with a satisfied stomach and a smile on my face, and I can't wait to return for another mouthwatering meal. If you're in the mood for some seriously good barbecue, do yourself a favor and head over to Bombers BBQ, I truly recommend this place, and you won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best thing that has happened to Munster since they put stoplights on Ridge Road. If you want to have a great meal, this is the place to go within 20 miles. You will come here for lunch, and you will be given too much food, and then realize that it's not too much food, and then you realize you shouldn't be eating dinner. If you've never been here, it's great to split two or three meat platters that include some rib tips with the people you're with. Two meat is great for 2 people, and 3 meat is great for 3-4 people. And you definitely have to get the sides with these because they are great. The Mac and cheese, curly fries, and the chili are great. But you absolutely have to get sweet potato fries with garlic aioli if they have it the day you come. This place is so great, you might not want to tell people about it. read more

Oh my heavens!!! My family from Highland told me about Bombers. So on a visit from Chicago, we had lunch there. Brisket is fantastic, moist and fork tender. The Mississippi Won-tons are fantastic, a bite of ribs was fantastic, the hush puppies were fantastic, the sauces are fantastic, even the fried candy (Reese's peanut butter cups that day) was fantastic. Don't know about the peach cobbler, the grandkids gobbled it before I could get a spoon! The owners and staff are fantastic. I bought pulled pork, brisket and beans for the office, the southern girl said it was fantastic and wants me to pick her up some on the next trip. Can I use fantastic too many times :) Not for this place. Very clean, easy parking, great food, great people, a real keeper. read more

A friend and I checked this place out after hearing a great review through the grapevine. I walked in not knowing what to expect, and these guys have really raised the bar on BBQ food. Top 3 I've ever had in my life. I'm no tv show critic, but I've been down south and BBQ is my favorite style of food. Brisket was out of this world, burnt ends you'd sell your soul for, and the ambience was probably the best part. Friendly, knowledgable service on top of a crisp, urban decor made my first experience unforgettable. Tons of local microbrews to boot. I've told everyone about to fantastic-ness served here. GO TRY THIS RESTAURANT. At least once, it's phenomenal read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I am pleasantly surprised there is a great bbq place so close to home. You can not go wrong with any of their selections.

Now the not so good! The French onion soup is perfunctory and not the real thing. They've taken clear shortcuts: not caramelizing the onions enough, using croutons instead of French bread, and sticking a slice of cheese on top and microwaving instead of baking the dish in the over. There is an artificial sweetness that has been added rather than coming naturally from the caramelized onions. So I would not recommend ordering the French onion soup.
