    Driving all around Indianapolis shopping for stuff for my kids dorm room, and my kid gets hangry - we decide to see what's around - barbeque with great ratings! I have to be honest, not sure this is the correct location, but I just found out its a chain...I don't care! It was GOOD! We really enjoyed all of the meats and the choices of sauces was super fun. The food was hot and came out quickly, which is good, no one wants to be around a hangry teenager. Oh we just really enjoyed it, but my son could have used an antacid afterwards lol his fried chicken bowl was delicious but spicier than he was used to. I think we ate all but two of the little corn ball thingies. Gotta' look up their name. Funny we picked a chain, but it was good - don't be a snob - come and try it! So next time I'm getting the chocolate cake.

    City sampler
    Lindsey M.

    Staff is welcoming, fantastic, and friendly. I ordered the city sampler meal which came with Turkey, brisket, pulled pork and Texas style-sausage and 2 sides. I definitely do not recommend ordering the sausage, try anything but the sausage. It does not taste good. The brisket has good moist pieces and then dry pieces. The Turkey was tender but a little dry. I did not enjoy the taste the pulled pork unless it was dipped in a lot of bbq sauce. I tried the green beans, baked beans, and potato salad. The potato salad is delish!! I couldn't stop eating it. If your going to try some meat, recommend ordering the brisket and turkey. Very clean inside and nice decor.

    Yummy banana pudding

    Good food, atmosphere, and excellent customer service. That's all I wanna say. Yelp shouldn't force me to write 85 characters.

    Motherload
    Isabelle M.

    Smelled amazing as soon as we walked through the door. We were a group of 5 and decided to get the Motherload so we could share a bit of everything. We overestimated how hungry we were because it was a TON of food, but made for great leftovers.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Luke W.

    Fantastic service, old school metal and stone atmosphere, and genuine menu offering tasty bbq and brisket, I dropped in motivated by the twenty five cent pulled pork offer on their rewards program. Had to snag another meaty sandwich to go, both lasted well packaged for my drive home, I cannot complain at twelve bucks and twenty five cents for very decent meals. This is a great chain that demands the loyalty program to balance prices. I don't get the high charges for sides or desserts, a bit odd for a basic slaw to cost as much as a Slim Chicken's shake. Parking is easy in this location, plenty of room right along the Indy to Chicago interstate. I have had much of the menu from other locations, some excellent like brisket and some below average like some sandwiches that need too much sauce to fill in the flavor gaps. Overall I'm more tempted for Chili's and local breweries when it comes to meats to maximize value however when the deal ding dongs I'm here!

    Clockwise: ribs and chicken, smoked sausage, salad, colored greens and mac'n'cheese.

The primary issue was our service. While she was friendly, decent windows of time seemed to pass between her visits. She also did not provide us with utensils/napkins, as my wife requested them from the bar after our meals arrived, nor plates for our shared appetizer items. The food was very good, for the most part, as we continue to enjoy their Baked White Bean Hummus ($14) and the Greek Goddess Salad ($17) is excellent. I also do like their Fries ($3.50), as they are seasoned well with a nice exterior crunch, although it seemed like we had been given the bottom of the basket as a good bit of our order was crumbs. Drinks were OK. My wife wishes they offered a dry cider option, but their A&E Fleeting Youth ($7) consistently tends to be the closest to that offering. While I realize it's summer, I prefer porters and stouts that are on the sweeter side as opposed to coffee-esque. But the only option was their Into the Void, which I thought leaned into a coffee flavor, so I chose their King of Troy ($6.50), which was a decent lager. So I continue at 4 stars, in hopes our next visit will have service with a bit more awareness, fries from the top of the basket, and some of their other beer options that hit the spot in the past.

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 is a bench to eat outside if you have your dog or just want to be outside.
