One of my fave rib joints in Central Indiana! As someone who has nearly perfected smoked ribs…read moremyself, I struggle with ribs at unknown places. Backroads ribs totally pass my 2 tests: - No need for extra or excessive sauce - great as presented - Falls off the bone!!! If I can eat ribs w/o my fingers and only a fork/knife they pass with flying colors. This 1/2 rack was PERFECT. Not a shred of protein left on the bones here and each was removed with fork & knife with ZERO effort. Great coleslaw and green beans as well. Indiana beers on-tap as well. Only thing I see missing are Indiana bourbons Don't pass this one by if you're anywhere near Lebanon!

I ordered the half-rack of ribs, which were impossibly tender and flavorful. Jalapeño Poppers and Mac and Cheese were out of this world. We also ordered a BBQ'd pulled pork sandwich. The bun was perfect and the meat was out of this world. Service was fast and oh so nice. The ambiance perfectly suits the food, charmingly no-nonsense yet warm. 100% will go back any chance I get. (A perfect half-way stop between IND airport and IU in Bloomington).

I wasn't just expecting to find great bbq in Martinsville, but there it was highly recommended by…read moremy friend Richard Walton on Yelp. Their cute little restaurant is across from the post office. I wanted a sandwich to go and they had $13 lunch specials that included a selection of sandwiches, a side and drink. I selected the brisket sandwich with spicy bbq sauce, cole slaw and I grabbed a unsweetened ice tea. The clerk was friendly and I had a short wait. The dining room is neat and tidy with old photos of Martinsville and subtle pig decor. Outside is a really nice covered patio where pets are welcome. My food came out quickly in a paper bag with my name on it. The BBQ brisket was phenomenal. The sandwich had several generous slices of thick brisket with slightly burnt ends, but moist and tender inside. The meat melted into the bun, which was soft and fresh. This was the best bbq sandwich I'd had in a long time. The spicy sauce, came on the side, was really delicious, too. The cole slaw is prepared in-house, finely chopped with a sweet vinegar dressing. It was crunchy and good, and a I've portion. Easy 5 star lunch. Free street parking. I'd stop by every time I'd mail a letter if I lived here. And I'd mail a lot of letters.

The owner is gregarious, welcoming, friendly, engaging and attentive. The menu offers a mix of bbq pork, brisket, chicken in various forms, salads and homemade deserts. Our food came out quickly. The owner checked on us. The cole slaw is phenomenal - creamy, thick with lots of flavor and not too sweet. The owner's wife makes the cole slaw. Maybe best I've had. I ordered the pork tips because I didn't want bread. The tips are flavorful but you have to be willing to eat around the fat and bones. I loved the tips with the North Carolina mustard sauce. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. There was a lot of meat on the sandwich and the roll was fresh. The bbq sauces are phenomenal. My husband loved the spicy hot sauce. The restaurant is decorated in western bbq theme. The tables are clean and stocked with sauces and paper towels. There are also a couple picnic tables outside if you want to eat with your dog. The restroom is clean. I highly recommend, and I'll be back.

I would definitely return!

Friendly Staff, a nice rustic wood interior, clean restaurant with friendly Servers. We've had most of the menu over our many visits including breakfast and few times. Their brisket, burgers, pulled pork, pulled chicken and sausages are very good. Their brisket always has a flavorful smoke ring and bark. Their jalapeño corn bread and corn bites are our favorites along with their whisky glazed carrots. Smok'n Crew has never let us down.

Typically we eat near the outlet mall, but I had seen a sign on the interstate for a bbq place. We opted to drive toward downtown and found hickory hillz. It's a smaller seating area and simple bbq menu. I had not had burnt ends but that was the closest to tips that they had that day. The server gave us a sample, and WOW, they were amazing. So we ordered and shared burnt end and sides of smoked Mac and cheese and Cajun slaw. It was the best bbq meat and sauce I've had in a long time. The sauce is homemade. Then the sides. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese, but the Cajun slaw was absolutely amazing. We have gone there twice now and will stop there on future trips!!!!!

As we were ordering we we asked if we had any questions or if we wanted to try any sauce. We made our order to go, smokehouse club pulled pork, and the brisket Mac-n-cheese. After we ordered we were asked if we needed anything, we were told we were fourth on the order board and it was ok to sit somewhere while we waited. The food is yummy, yummy. I love the club it's a salad with pulled pork, something love. Richelle said she yummy loved the brisket Mac-n-cheese. If you get it to go it will not look pretty when you get it home, see my picture, it was all mixed up but that is how Richelle would have eaten it any way.
