Five BIG stars for Sammy and the crew at City BBQ on Saturday, August 22. I had ordered a the meal…read morefor 14-16 people and when I got home discovered I had mistakenly ordered 1 1/2 quarts of baked beans rather than green beans. In a panic I went back to the store as we had 16 people coming for dinner with the intention of buying the green beans. Sammy could not have been nicer and more helpful and cheerfully said, "Mistakes happen. You keep the baked beans and let us give you your green beans." He really saved the day for us as most of the kids present did not like baked beans. He said, "Have them try them, they'll like them", and they did! We were big fans of City BBQ before and are even bigger fans now!

Bruh, not even a busy Monday I get fries and 2 ribs carry out. I know it's a bbq place but when I…read moregot home the napkins were soaked like they slapped them out the fryer, straight into the Togo paper. Didn't wait for the fryer oil to completely drain. Fries were mush not crispy not cooked. Basically got smashed potatoes. They can't cook fries like how hard is that. And the ribs, if very talking portion size for the cost, they are robbing customers for 2.99 a rib they think that's acceptable. I call from home saying I'm coming back for new fries bringing the fries with me to show them. Tell them go ahead and make a new order of fries when I'm down there. Get there, haven't started the fries.... So waiting for a new order, they bring me less amount of fries than what I brought in. So I'm stuck there waiting for new fries for the 3rd or 4th time idek. The new evening staff was apologetic but I was just fuming for how long I was waiting.

We got a meal for eight and took two boxes of leftovers home We ate at the outside picnic tables. We had table side service with runners bringing us sides in serving bowls as well small trays and larger round trays for the adults. All of our meal trays were HOT! The slaw was five star from all including everyone who "doesn't like slaw." There are three sauces. Everyone had their favorite. All are good. I went back in after the fam left to refill my water for the ride home. WHAT? Brunswick stew and pork rinds? I was offered a sample of the stew and snagged the last bag of rinds (even bad rinds are better than no rinds, right?) I was offered a sample of the Brunswick (all the meats, a little corn, Lima, potatoes, bbq sauce, tomato's). This is a a low-key restaurant. Great service. My favorite pulled pork, Mac and cheese (which I do not eat, but tasted just for you), law that was universally, loved, and overall excellent sides, and dishes. Great service indoors, or outdoors. Yes, I'm coming back. If not just for a bag of pork rinds the best I've ever had! Ambience indoor outdoor. Not four star service or serving but a perfect picnic site with excellent service. Try it it's been around for a long time. I took too long to do this one!

The menu is a mix of bbq, soul and Southern style cooking. Cornbread, green beans, peach cobbler, etc., included. I had the bbq loaded baked potato with bbq beef brisket. The brisket is amazingly tender and moist. The potato was smothered in cheese, onions, jalapeños and bacon. Yum. The bbq sauces are very tasty. I had the tangy sauce which had a kick to it. My husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich. The pork was hand prepped and breaded and very good. The Sidewinder fries are the BEST in Indy area - hands down and the portion is generous. Everyone was stealing his fries. My granddaughter had the Kid's pork bbq slider with Mac and cheese. She also devoured a corn muffin. She loved her meal. Others had the Pork Bbq sandwich combo with backed beans. The beans are freshly prepared and crave worthy. Pork sandwiches had a generous amount of moist pulled pork. We ordered at the counter and food is prepared fresh so there's a bit of a wait during dinner hour. About half people get their food to go. Prices are reasonable - especially desserts. The dining area is small - maybe five tables. Seating is tight. The patio area outside is nice if the Indiana weather cooperates. I love this place.

I was hanging out at Sun King Carmel with friends and wanted something to eat, so I went to the…read morefood court and the menu looked good at The Den by FoxGardin. I wanted something simple so I just ordered the chicken fingers combo with fries. The menu is very extensive with burgers, sandwiches, and entrees as well. My order was done fresh to order and took about 10-12 minutes. The gentleman were very helpful and professional. The chicken fingers were huge and I was given a hefty portion of French fries. It was very fresh and tasted like pure heaven. The Den by FoxGardin is a great choice of food at Sun King Carmel if you want something simple,so I would highly recommend it to everyone.

The BBQ poutine fries were so big on the tray that I felt a little ostentatious as I was carrying the tray back to my table. It felt like all of the food on my tray surely should have been going to a family. But no: All of these BBQ poutine fries were just for one gluttonous person (me). Every so often, I would get an enormous fry that was way bigger than the others. It was more like a steak fry! It was like a little baked potato. It was nice to have that variety in the appetizer (which I was treating like an entree because, again, I was eating this giant appetizer by myself without shame). One of my children opted to get the kids meal here, which is the mac & cheese with a side (he chose fries). The mac & cheese is cavatappi pasta, so it's that pleasing curly texture that kids love (my kid loved it). The Den by FoxGardin is located inside Sun King Food Hall, and it's one of the food options you have here. If you are looking for pub food, comfort food, or just plain good food, you can't go wrong with this place.

It may also be because I'm geriatric and the lighting is dim. I got Gavin's Chicken sandwich Cajun style and fried. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato and onion. In my opinion, the sandwich needs a sauce. Hey Gavin, why don't you like sauce? Ketchup and mustard is on the table but that wouldn't go. I also had a side coleslaw which was great. I ended up topping my sandwich with the coleslaw to fill in the sauce gap for me. If I were to order this again, I'd ask for a Cajun Mayo or maybe ask the server if there is a sauce recommendation.

Man, found a new place for chicken. The crispness is true. Their Golden Original flavored chicken…read morereminds me of Sunburst Fried Chicken (best chicken flavor IMO). They have lots of choices for chicken flavors, but only for wings. The half or whole chicken are only limited to 3 flavors, and sometimes, only 2 are available. I got the bulgogi rice bowl, not bad, enjoyable but the meat is not as flavorful like K-Town. The So Ddeok So Ddeok was just ok in flavor, but really spicy. The chicken fried rice was well flavored and not over powering so it was enjoyable. Overall, it hit some marks but missed on some. We're used to really flavorful food if it's Korean. if you're looking for that here, there are other places that's better. But their chicken, we would definitely come back for them, as they're really, really good, especially fresh off the frying pan. We ordered a whole chicken (golfen original) for to go we can continue to enjoy them at home (air fryer). Service was good, considering there was only one server, but it wasn't busy. No outdoor seating. Great ambiance for watching sports. Let's just say, it's better place to watch sports than BWW.

Very good and filling. I wanted a little more flavor so added soy sauce for a little help. It took about 15 minutes and came out steaming hot. The server/hostess was very friendly and answered my questions since this was my first time here. They have some pop music playing, the walls, lined with tvs and beer selection so looks like a little sports bar/restaurant. I really can't wait to try the crispy chicken tho.

I always order the Cuban when a new restaurant has one on the menu, and Big Lug's did not disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful, and one of the better Cubans I've had in a while. On my second visit, I went with the blackened cod tacos on corn tortillas (you can also get flour tortillas, and they offer shrimp and breaded fish options). They were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Both visits I ordered the spicy garlic cauliflower, and it was outstanding. The homemade blue cheese dressing took it to another level. If you're on the fence about ordering it, don't be--it was one of my favorite things on the menu. The outdoor walk-up bar creates a really cool, laid-back atmosphere, making it a great place to relax whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying a meal by yourself. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and both meals came out quickly. I don't usually eat at the same restaurant twice on a trip, but Big Lug earned it. If I'm back in the area, it'll definitely be on my list again.

Big Lug is a very cool spot right off the Monon, and even better if you have a pooch with you!…read moreUnfortunately, our experience with the service was pretty disappointing. We sat right in the middle of the main thoroughfare and were completely ignored for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged someone down. The guy, "H," apologized and said, "Oh, my bad--it's all good." We figured, no big deal, let's move on. We ordered pretty simple food, apps and were then going to put in some entrees once apps arrived. We asked for waters and a water bowl for our pups. He brought two waters--with no straws--and no dog bowl. We assumed he was going to grab the bowl, so we waited... and waited. Then I noticed him at the end of the bar leaning against some boxes, texting. So I finally got up, interrupted him and asked for the dog bowl. His response, "oh my bad." Our appetizers came out, and naturally, we asked for silverware. A few minutes later, I spotted "H" in the corner on his phone again. At that point I was thinking, seriously?! So I got up again, interrupted "H's" text convo and asked for silverware. His response again was, "Oh, my bad." I didn't respond to him I just turned around and went back to my seat. Honestly, the whole experience started feeling more like a self-serve restaurant than table service. It's a chill spot and we weren't being needy whatsoever. We never asked for any refills- we were merely asking for the basics. We wanted to order more food, but by that point we were pretty turned off and decided to just get the check. Then came the final straw: my guy had his license and credit card sitting on the table because he hadn't brought his wallet out for our monon trek. When "H" came back with the checkout thing, without question or hesitation - he grabbed the card and swiped it. We didn't even realize what happened until afterward. Maybe that's standard there, but I've never had a server just take my card without asking. Usually you get a "hey do we want to use this card? Or something to confirm. And of course the tip structure is skewed so the min is 20% unless you want to try to figure out to manually enter in 15% (which most ppl don't -incl my guy), so we left 20% and left irritated and still hungry. "H" didn't seem hungover or anything--he just genuinely seemed like he did not not give a shiiiit. We had to get up three separate times to get things we had already requested: the dog bowl, a couple straws, and silverware. (Basics) And a quick note on the 7-Layer Hoss Dip: don't expect seven layers. It comes in a small thick ceramic bowl and was basically beans, guacamole, a tiny bit of corn and some hard cheese on top. Definitely would not recommend it. Way too "beany" and not worth $16 at all. The southwest rolls were decent- very fried tho. Cheesecake Factory's are better ;) The location and dog-friendly atmosphere are great, with the exception of the homeless camp right at their patio entrance, but unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, because Big Lug has a lot going for it.

Upon walking in you put your order into the kiosk, or you can go up to the counter I believe as the man there will take your order. I believe he might be the owner too because he was never cooking. A few observations about the place it's got some really cute decor. Little bit more cliché than authentic. I would call out. The menu definitely has authentic items on it. The cooking is not as authentic however it is generous and it is fresh tasting. For example, the beef plate I believe had some type of seasoning on it. That gave it a flavor that is not exactly authentic. So I would recommend laying off the seasoning. The Katsu sauce, which is self service is also legitimate as as the teriyaki sauce. I would definitely come back here again however I also learned that there are other similar Hawaiian barbecue spots in the Carmel fishers Indianapolis area that I would also definitely want to check out and compare.
