I stopped in here today and the food is so good and flavorful. I can't wait to send people their way. I love the homey feeling of the place. I'll be back. read more

I don't know if, by modern standards, "hole in the wall" is a positive thing, or calling something a "mom and pop joint". This restaurant is both. And that is a VERY GOOD thing. It's not very big. If you blink, you will pass it on the way to Six Points. Inside i think it might seat a dozen people. But the barbecue is everything I miss having moved here from Austin, Texas. It is a sauce-on-the-side affair so if you don't like it goopy and slick, you can just enjoy the smokey seasoned flavor of the meat. I got the rib and chicken combo plate. The ribs were excellent. I got the mild sauce, which on their little spice level chart is the second mildest sauce above "sweet", was just flavored enough to have some ground pepper spice (not heat) and still have a little sweet. I call it perfect. I'm not a fan of heat spice and it was just shy of knocking on the door. So don't be afraid of it. The chicken was juicy and had rosemary and some other aromatics I couldn't place. It was VERY good chicken. I doubled down on the green beans as a side. They were real green beans. They may have originally come in a can, but they were cooked with care and tasted homecooked with some flavor and smokey depth. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend stopping. You will not regret it. read more

Divine Bar B Cue - Pork ribs, chicken, and green beans - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Places a little bit rundown, but the service was great and the barbecue was good as well. If you want something a little spicy, I would go double hut because the hot didn't seem spicy at all, though and the coleslaw was good Price was very reasonable as well read more

The food is amazing! Don't let the outside fool you! Give the Mac and cheese/pulled pork a try! The homemade cornbread was moist and amazing. I wouldn't pass this one up. The service was great! It wasn't crowded but we went on a weekday. The ambiance wasn't great but we got our meal to go. read more

Divine is a small place off of a road that I travel frequently. It was suggested to me with great reviews, so I had to see what it was all about. I went around 4:50pm on a Tuesday. I was the only one in the restaurant when I placed my takeout order. Customer service was admirable. I ordered the small rib tip dinner ($2 off on Tuesdays) with macaroni and cheese and baked beans. I spent around $16 with tip. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes. The rib tips were tender and well seasoned. They didn't even need sauce. Mac and cheese was cheesy. Baked beans were too barbecuey for me but decent. Portion sizes were awesome for the price. Especially in the days of Covid where sizes are shrinking and prices are rising. Divine stomps out the other BBQ joints around town. read more

The best damn barbecue in the area. Period! If you want great food this is your new secret spot. You won't find the fanciest dining room with all the trappings of a "Famous" place but you will find all the love and warmth of a true southern barbecue restaurant. This place reminds me of some 'off the beaten path' mom & pop places I have been to in the south. Food that melts in your mouth and warms your soul. read more

It's been a minute since I came to divine and the food still taste the same today I ordered ribs for dinner the ribs are fine in the collar greens is really good to I'm not sure if the nachos are still on the menu You can get them chicken or pork. read more

The place to go for ribs! These are the big ribs not the baby back kind. They are big, meaty, not fatty and cooked to perfection! It's a little dive for sure and the service is hit or miss. However the ribs will have you coming back for another slab! Excellent sides too. The green beans and baked beans have that wonderful smoky flavor. Great stuff! read more

I have driven by 1,000 times in 30 years. Finally met a friend there as we are both retired. It looks rundown because it is. However, it was a great value with mostly good food. The Tuesday Turkey leg was outstanding with no sauce. Maybe the best I've had. My buddy said the tips were too chewy and I agree after one bite. However, the amount of food was a lot. Serving plain sliced bread with no condiments seems a bit cheap, but I was full and didn't care. The small dining room is cluttered and in need of a good rehab. The service was excellent, I would return. read more

As much as I hate to do this, I have to. I got the half chicken and it was not cooked well, when I pulled the leg from the thigh, there was blood. Meat did not taste smoky or have a grill flavor, skin on chicken was Gummie or soggy but the side of baked beans and green beans were ok. Damn!!! read more

The owner is rude Danny. The ribs was dry and flavorless. He is a older man and he is rude. I don't not recommend this place...even his employees said the greens were nasty ‍ probably should call the health inspector....the restaurant wasn't very clean. read more

I don't know much about the interior of this facility because we ordered delivery, so here's what we ordered... 1. 1/2 chicken and 3 ribs: The driver forgot the sauce, so I have no idea what it would taste like with sauce on it. The ribs were huge and fell off the bone - a must have feature of ribs. The chicken was juicy, but I'm not a fan of the rub which is just herbs, primarily marjoram, oregano and thyme, I believe. No spice or salt. Again, no sauce so it was pretty bland. I ended up using some sweet baby rays I had in the fridge. 2. Mac and cheese and green beans: Mac and cheese tasted homemade, which is hard to find, but I had hard time really tasting a strong cheese flavor. Perhaps they could use a stronger cheddar flavor. It was thick, though! Green beans had lots of bacon but it has a couple of areas it could improve upon: zero salt (use it, it brings out flavor!) and they use the rub that they put on the chicken in it. It had perfect texture and the nice smoke, but if they fixed those two things it would be magical. 3. Sausage link: VERY spicy. Not smokey. Nothing special. If they used sausage from Claus German Meat Market it would be magnificent. And smoked...even better. 4. Porky Mac: See the above details about Mac and cheese and throw on a pile of juicy pulled pork. I wasn't a big fan of the sauce though. Could be the maple flavor, but not much in the way of seasoning in the sauce. I like a good complex sauce but not a lot of spice. All in all, I'd say a 3 out of 5, but mostly because of seasoning issues. Perfecting flavor takes a little time, but they're on the right track. read more

I had the turkey leg.. WAS IT EVEN DONE?? I also had the pulled chicken I'd rate that a 4! Maybe I will have to try something else next time. read more

Got food delivered from this restaurant and honestly wasn't a big fan. I had a bbq hot link sandwich that was severely overcooked. The porky Mac lacked any seasoning whatsoever and although the mac and cheese APPEARED to be very cheesy, you don't get that cheesy taste at all. Weird. The baked beans gave this restaurant the one star I felt it deserved because those were the only things that I enjoyed here. Won't be going back, there are too many BBQ restaurants that are better here. read more

LI've been working in the area the last 4 months for my company., I'm a Texas man who loves BBQ. This place was NOT referred to me , I found them here and wish I hadn't. I tried this place ONCE ONLY. There's a huge outside and cords of wood, though the meat HAS TO BE BOILDED . The chicken was nursing quality or much worse, the ribs/ rib tips(?) Was absolutely tasteless. I knew when I saw the commercial warmers inside , orderless (NON-BBQ smell HOW?) Inside, this meat was going to be awful. I knew this BBQ was going to be bad so I stopped at Wendy's. I get back to my hotel room and yes that oven baked BBQ was the WORST I ever tried and I threw it all in the trash dumpster outside . I wasted $26! Should be only 1 star. read more

Service was great but my disappointment was in two areas: food and pricing. They are a little higher than my regular bbq restaurants for the portions. Also, although the meat was tender it lacked seasoning a little more garlic powder and some seasoning salt would do the trick. You should be able to eat bbq with or without sauce. The greens and green beans had absolute no flavor again skip the vinegar while cooking the greens add garlic powder, seasoning salt and red pepper flakes also with the green beans. We honestly felt the best part was the Mac and cheese. Also, with Covid please mask up, wear a buff and gloves while in the kitchen and taking orders. The ladies were very pleasant though but not sure if I will return. read more

I went here with a friend the other day. It's a hole in a wall type of place. Very small. Great for to go orders. The BBQ is pretty amazing. The sides were pretty good too! The staff were very friendly. I would def. come back. read more

One and done never again. Not even worth one star. Ordered rib tip dinner. No meat on the bone and the greens....OMG what did you do just cook in vinegar and red pepper because that was all that I tasted. Would not recommend or ever return. read more

Just off the side of the road, sits a humble yellow building that serves everything bbq. Set in a blue-collar neighborhood, this places serves the like with tender, slow cooked smoked meats. The menu is simple and rightfully so. I got the porky mac, (hot) and fell in love with the sauce immediately. Good work for a hard working crew. read more

Divine BBQ is a small, family owned business on West Washington Street east of Bridgeport Road. It's not a fancy place but clean, good food, 6 or 7 dine in tables, order at the counter and parking is on side or in front of the building. As soon as you walk in your greeted by a warm and heart felt hello from the family. You can dine in, carry out or they offer deliver within a few miles. Their BBQ smoker is outdoors and easy to see as you get closer to the restaurant especially if it's in use at the time. This is the small town type of business where after two or three visits they know and remember you. It is no longer considered Divine 2, just Divine, since they closed the other location. The smoked meats and BBQ is good and not overly sweet sauces. The sauce is added to the meat after you order for those who prefer smoked meat only. The lunch specials are terrific, very affordable for lunch or dinner, nice sides and EXCELLENT homemade mac and cheese. I don't remember the gentleman's name that makes it but he's a hoot and takes great pride in his mac and cheese. Ribs, rib tips, pulled chicken and pork, several sides and desserts are available. Fountain sodas are not available here, only cans, but something I can overlook since the food is so tasty. The Porky Mac is my favorite. Meat and sauce of your choice is on the bottom topped with a large portion of mac and cheese served as a small or large order. Go LARGE! You will find true comfort food here. Just typing this has me thinking of porky mac for lunch tomorrow. Now moving on to dessert...stay at Divine or another option is walk 8 or 9 steps next door to Sassy's. Next door is a SMALL bakery, Sassy's, that opened this past May. Sam and her husband are pastry chef graduates from Ivy Tech and building their dream business. I was one of her first customers on her very first day and I've watched her expand her business into the success it's become. Be sure to pop in and grab dessert to go. MANY tasty treats but the Caramel bars are EXCELLENT!!! And the lemon bars are another favorite along with cupcakes, brownies, etc. Sam and her husband are really nice folks and wonderful addition next door to Divine. read more

Just ordered delivery to my hotel. The arrived piping hot... Delivery man was friendly and courteous. The food arrived within 45 min as promised! Ok I was going to order the turkey leg dinner (Tuesday only!) but they were already sold out at 5:15 pm! So instead I ordered the large tips dinner with Mac and cheese and string beans. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and yummy. The green beans were seasoned with some kind of BBQ meats as u can see the meaty bits! The large order of rib tips was too much food for me, but they were gooooooood. I asked for both the hot and extra hot BBQ sauce, so they gave me generous portions of both! When I'm in town next time, I'll surely order from them again! read more

Divine 2 is down toward Plainfield on Washington St. along side the road in a strange location. The BBQ pit master is out along the road at times wafting delicious BBQ odors my way as I've driven on by. We have been meaning to try this place out countless times, but it does look like a total dump and I wasn't sure if it was a dine-in or take out only establishment. Finally took a chance and stopped in (parking is weird). It looks about as you would expect inside. Hodgepodge of tables and old worn chairs that look like Goodwill finds. We ordered a sampler platter due to not knowing what I wanted, this included pulled pork and rib tips with sides. You get slices of bread (was hoping for some homemade buns or cornbread - sad Panda). The hubby ordered a full rack of ribs. Drinks are cans of soda (no fountain?? Ahhhhh!!! My personal nightmare but I will cope). Food came out fast and piping hot. No plates? OK. So they don't cook the sauce in the meat, which I know this varies depending on your BBQ heritage. The ribs were pretty quality, you could tell they had been cooked a good long time, and packed a lot of flavor. You get a lot, so would recommend a half rack for the average Joe. The rib tips were alright, alittle too boney and fatty and not enough meat, but they had nice flavor. The beans I got as a side were very good, but the slaw seemed like a canister bought from a store, nothing fantastic and very creamy. The pulled pork was VERY peppery! I wasn't a fan. Tasted like beef jerky it was so seasoned, but the hubby liked it. Guess it just depends what your preferences are. The prices are reasonable. We dropped about $32 and took half of it home, so we got a ton of food for the money. My largest issue with the food was the sauce. It was really runny and didn't pack much of a flavor. I'm a sauce lover so it was a bummer not to have some awesome BBQ sauce to top off the meat. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. I ordered carry out, rib bones, Mac and cheese and green beans. The green beans and mac were flavorless as well as the bones. The only way I could get the bones down was to drown them in BBQ sauce. Everything was so bland except for the bread. Good BBQ doesn't require any sauce whatsoever. If you think this is good BBQ I suggest you try Kings Ribs or City BBQ or, hell make them at home just don't waste your money here. read more

Awesome bbq and service. Best anywhere in Indianapolis! read more

I like the rib tips. Good smoke flavor. Ya we like home made. The porky Mac is good too.

Very rude, From the moment I walked in the doors, till the moment I walked out......food was good, but horrible customer service overshadowed it read more

This place isn't much to look at, but the food is amazing. There have a pulled pork family pack that is a perfect price. And all the bbq is smoked with a special blend of wood with the flavor read more

Been here numerous times, so I thought I would give them a review. First off, not a huge BBQ fan but I like it. I have lived in TX and NC so I have had my share of BBQ. I guess this is more along the lines of NC BBQ, because the sauce is served on the side. With that being said, very good BBQ pork. Porkey and Mac is one of my Favorites! My favorite however, is the Pork Tenderloin! Best I have ever had! read more

I wanted to try this spot because I love bbq and it's close to my house. I stopped on my way home from the mall and only ordered rib tips. It was a good sized portion and I initially liked the taste of them. When I got home and they had called off a bit, the meat was a little tougher (to be expected). The barbecue sauce wasn't thick as I would've liked and did not have any distinctive taste (bold, tangy, spicy). I'm really big on the sauce and this was a miss for me. read more

So after almost getting killed pulling into the place(driver is insane)....we stopped here for lunch. We walked in and I wasn't to sure....very small. I'm talking 5 tables max! Menu is on the wall. Order at the counter. Pay. Sit and they bring it to you. Staff was friendly and nice. Place was clean. They give you options for your BBQ sauce and you can even mix them to make your own variation. I went with a sweet/hot blend on pulled chicken, with baked beans and green beans. Chicken was super tender and flavored well. Green beans were cooked slow and in butter and they were amazing. The baked beans were cooked with bacon-how do you go wrong? My friend got the same thing except with Mac and cheese. Portions were large-we could have split one meal....but did not. Mac and cheese was creamy and delish. I did notice everything had pepper in it. Visible pepper that gave it a kick. Interesting joint. Good ways for the price! read more

Good food, nice people. Went here on a business lunch. Free trips to heaven offered across the street.

It's a little hole in the wall looking restaurant that has some tasty smells outside. However, the meat tasted like it had been in a crock pot all day & not on the grill. The hot BBQ was not hot or spicy- or really flavorful for that matter & the Mac & Cheese had WAY too much black peppercorn (Yuck!) Cheap. Quick. However, just not as tasty as I was wishing for. read more

Had the chance to order some food from Divine today and had it delivered at work. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwhich, the Porkey Mac and cole slaw. The Porkey Mac is pulled pork and mac and cheese put together and OMG, I could just have made a meal of just that. The combination was great and the taste was incredible. I found their cole slaw to have great flavor and the pulled pork sandwhich was also very good. The meat comes sauseless and they offer 3 types on the side. I went with both the mild and sweet and for my taste found the sweet to be the best option. Overall I found my meal for lunch to be great and my co workers who also ordered everythign from Rib tips to pulled chicken sandwhichs all felt it was great. The only concern was the buns on the sandwhichs were just basic buns and some would have liked better buns...but to me it's about the meat...not the buns... read more

This was a find for me and my husband. We went inside this little building and the overwhelming smell of the BBQ was awesome! We ordered a full rack of ribs, and a half rack would feed two. We could barely finish the ribs. We had a large order of their Mac and cheese and greens. The Mac and cheese was homemade and tastes like my grandma made them, and the greens were just like my moms. The ribs were so tender and fell off the bone. The sauces we got was the sweet and mild and they both tasted awesome with the ribs. This was literally a diamond in the rough. We recommend everyone come in and check it out. Even Adam Sandler and his famous friends recommend this place. There is pictures of him up eating the food. He signed autographs and other things. They loved the food too! read more

A local hole-in-the-wall that is my after trip/ Saturday afternoon/ I don't want to cook go-to place. Nice folks running this place, and open carry is not frowned upon. Consistent quality, with some fall-off-the-bone ribs. A gotta try place! read more

Attitude! Do not order from these people. Ordered in the past and have been fine. called tonight and Jennifer is extremely rude. We live 2 mins from this location and just don't understand people that are angry because they are at work. Simply wanted to spend my money on a meal and get this type of attitude. Completely unacceptable! No money from me!! read more

Disappointed last visit. Something is different with pulled pork,beans,and green beans. Different seasoning over powering the natural flavors. Hope it was just a slip of the wrist or something. I really loved this place. read more

I've been here a couple times. I had a pulled pork sandwich w/hot bbq sauce. The meat was hot and tender, coleslaw tasted like out of a tub, the baked beans were runny, but they had chunks of meat mixed into them. It's a fun little divey place to get a quick bite. A couple tables inside, smoker in the parking lot out front. read more

See my review of Divine 2.....Chicken skin and charred pork burgers....disgusting. I'm sorry folks.....but this place did NOT make me happy.
