I was greeted when I walked in. It was clean. The lady taking my order was very helpful and patient with me. (It's hard to receive good customer service, so thank you). The food was hot and fresh. I ordered fried green tomatoes, macaroni, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. The macaroni tasted like they used nacho cheese or jalapeños in it. And it was loaded with black pepper. She did tell me that the fried green tomatoes are prepared with the same seasoning and grease as the fish. I knew it would be a chance that I could get sick, and I still took the chance. For my taste buds, the tomatoes weren't seasoned enough. I did, in fact, get sick and ended up suffering for hours. I wish there was a way for restaurants to cater to vegans. We still want to enjoy good food, but the cross-contamination of meat will get me every time. A small fryer to cook the vegetables separately would be amazing. read more

What a great new find. We love great soul/comfort food. Very flavorful and lots of food. I really enjoyed everything I ordered. The baked beans were delicious! Cute little spot right off Shadeland Ave, order and go or grab a seat. Plus everyone was very friendly. read more

Good food, but very poor and inconsistent service. They close at the spur of the moment or shut down sometimes for a week for various reasons. They don't answer the phone and if you do get through, there is no apology. You cannot rely on them being open from week to week. read more

Where has this place been?? I've heard about Kountry Kitchen and His Place, but Greens & Things-is new to me. I'm glad we stumbled upon this quaint little spot. Our first try was amazing. Great food and faster than their competitors down the street. I had the smothered chicken and my husband had the oxtails. Our dishes were really good. We will be back. Updated: We've been over there a couple times now and I will say, they could work on their consistency. The third visit wasn't AS amazing as the first time. That's probably why they dont have as strong a following as their competitors. And also why I could only give 3-stars versus the 4-star I had previously awarded. The staff is pretty friendly. The young lady did make a mistake on my order-but made it right without attitude which makes a difference. Sometimes when mistakes are made the people on the front can get attitude and don't want to fix the mistake, but that wasn't the case at all-and it didn't take all day. To me: the smothered chicken and oxtails are the best dishes along with their cabbage. Their mac & cheese isn't consistent one day it's amazing and then on the other day not so much. A friend of mine had their meatloaf; which they only serve on Sundays and was not impressed. So if you try that- use caution. To me they'll be my go to place when I want some good ox tails and smothered chicken. We personally don't eat pork but I know they have ribs and pork chops-I might be willing to give it a try-but might go during the week versus the weekend. During the week is when I've had the best results versus the food on the weekends (surprisingly). If you want to try my friends at Greens & Things-go during the week and try one of my favs mentioned above. I hope they get more consistent-Because when that happens I promise you they'll be the number one soul for on the Eastside. read more

As always the food is hot and delicious and the service is great. Just what I wanted.

Love this place and can't believe it has been in the neighborhood and I never knew. I had a half slab of ribs, greens and mac-n-cheese. Pros: -Friendly staff -Mac n cheese was on point. They use a flavorful blend of spices. Not bland at all. -greens were on point and seasoned well. Cons: -ribs were lacking a little. Not a lot of flavor and a little tough. I'll be back to try something new! read more

i enjoyed their variety of options very good salads. i had my order delivered and it was correct

This food sucked ! The fries taste like cardboard we waited 30mins to be royally disappointed! My greens tasted dirty . The burger was bad too . read more

I believe this location has room for growth. However, the customer service is unprofessional. They're charges are pricey and their portion food portions are cheap. They don't give you what they ask what they're actually charging me. I did enjoy the fish green beans were from a can in the sweet potatoes were full of sugar, I would give it a thumbs down on my opinion I wouldn't waste my gas to get there read more

OMG!!! This food is straight . The Mac and sheesh was soo flavorful!! The greens were so good and the fried Catfish was good so close to my Mother in Law who is from the south. The hot water cornbread was a little Meh but the whole meal made feel like I was down south. read more

terrible. they chop up the tips so small til its only gristle. they were old. idk if they refried the fries but as you can see... they were brown and tasted like the oil they are using is old. so disappointed read more

Believe it or not...there are people that still never heard of this place ..and been here forever. Well...I try to get over there when I can..I love the variety...and they show you your food before you walk out which avoids issues I'm sure. Can't wait to try breakfast there... read more

Turkey ribs taste like kys. Pork ribs are ok. Everything else tastes like someone scared to season. Do not recommend coming from a professional chef. read more

We tried this place for the first time this weekend. I had the catfish and my husband had the pulled pork and we both enjoyed them. I ordered online and wanted the peach cobbler but they had sold out, so Ms. Annette called me right away and let me know we could get a refund or a different item when we arrive. We tried some of their strawberry crunch cake and loved it! I'll be back to try the cobbler!! Ms. Annette reminds me of one of my Aunts, such an upbeat and helpful lady. Next time I'll post pics, we ate everything so quickly! read more

Never thought about trying this location. I did not know what they had until Yelp put me on. I was craving some catfish a few months ago and wanted to try something different and was suggested this location so I said let me give them a try. I remember it was a holiday and most locations were closed but not G&T. I ordered the catfish that came with two sides. I was not able to indulge in most sides due to them containing meat and the most important side was not available at the time. You know what side i'm talking about. The mac. I went with mashed tatters and sweet tatters. The sweet tatters were ok nothing special, not really sweet at all. The mashed tatters were good with a puddle of butter on top. The catfish was huge and seasoned just good. All for $12 w/ tax. I would try them again if I can get some mac next time lol read more

It was ok. I wouldn't go out here f my way to eat here, but wouldn't avoid it either. Just ok good at what I would call reasonable prices and serving for a small business. I had he sweat potatoes, greens and catfish fillet. My wife didn't care for her turkey tips. read more

Fair , no frills, microwave warm up . Pandemic okay meal. Fast service and friendly cashier. It opened on time the day i needed a lunch for work . read more

I got the turkey ribs, they were good. It's hard to find places with this option so it's nice to know they have them. Nice customer service

This place has great customer service and generous portion sizes! I ordered the BLT with a fried egg and it's lovely. We also got the ribs, seasoned fries, and Mac n cheese. All on point and seasoned to perfection!! I would suggest calling ahead or using their online ordering to get in and out though. read more

TURKEY RIBS. They're everything that you love about beef/pork ribs ... smoky, thick, meaty fall-off-the-bone goodness, except in bird form. If you absolutely love turkey like I do, you owe it to yourself to give these a try. I've never had something like it before and have not seen them on any other menu in Indy. If you wonder how a turkey rib is actually possible, just know it's *technically* a cut from the shoulder that looks/cooks like a rib. No matter where it's from, I'd put Booker's turkey rib as the 2nd best turkey in town behind my favorite City BBQ. Comparing the two is a bit difficult because they're so different from one another ... actually, that's a brilliant meal idea. Get both, alternate bites between the two turkeys, live like a king. As for non-meat options, I'll say that the collard greens and green beans were above average but not mind-blowing. Both are worth ordering, just note that there's some red pepper flake heat in the green beans so they are (likely) for adults only. The ladies behind the counter were very nice and friendly ... when I asked what they were known for & what I should get next time, I was told with enthusiasm, "EVERYTHING is the specialty of the house - it's ALL so good." Based on the food from my first visit, I think I believe them. read more

All and all, the food here is pretty good but, for the price it's a really good value. I think the entrees/meats are better than the sides. The sides are good but, not great. I've had multiple meats; some are better than others but, none of them are bad. Bottom line this is a great bargain, you're getting pretty good food at very reasonable prices (Dinners are around $12-15 including 2 sides and cornbread). If you're in the area I recommend trying them out. read more

I've been 4x in last 5 weeks. The Rib tips, greens & Mac & cheese were delicious. The portion was too much for me to eat in one meal so I shared with a co-worker who loved it. I had to go the next week to buy for another co-worker & they loved it too. Will definitely be back. The ladies at the counter who take orders are very nice too!!! Hole in the wall worth a visit read more

All my coworkers rave about this place so I had to try it out and was honestly not very impressed. I had the pulled pork sandwich, Mac n cheese and coleslaw. It was all average. The mac n cheese wasn't very cheesy at all and the pulled pork wasn't as good as most places. They serve the sauce already on the pulled pork and I feel like that's never a good sign anyways. Service was really nice. They were quick for how busy it was and the two women who worked there were really nice. I'll most likely be back because I'm convinced that maybe the pulled pork isn't their menu item. I would recommend checking it out but maybe try something else off the menu. read more

I had a taste for some Soul food and I was totally surprised by this restaurant!!.. My Husband was beyond thrilled to finally find "Whole Fried Catfish " his All-Time Favorite Fish!!! I ordered the Rib Tips which were very good and tender only complaint they were chopped so small . We both ordered greens outstanding.. he also had cole slaw.. I ordered Sweet potatoes, and Macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. We will return read more

A few words, get the house burger!!!! Great, friendly, mom and pop place off Shadeland and 465, this down to earth eatery has everything you'd want in a lunch spot. Fresh burgers and fries and turkey ribs, yes turkey ribs. Inside is warm, inviting and smells like a good lunch is getting fixed. There's probably 7 to 8 tables and they seem to do a lot of carry out too. Gotta try this place! You won't leave hungry or disappointed. read more

The food is great, however, customer was absolutely horrible. The lady that took my job order had the worst attitude and went off on me because there was miscommunication over the phone. We had couple items missing from our list and when we tried to call back the lady went off on one of my coworkers. read more

Great food for a reasonable price. I ended up purchasing two different meals because I was curious. Highly recommend !

Maneee this folks so fucking good!! Real Memphis style cooking.. The greens and rice is the best!!

I love there lamb chops, fried tacos, and wings! I tried there oxtails for the very first time today with some spaghetti- and fries delivered to my house. I got my order my fries was soggy and chewy the spaghetti was horrible and they forgot my gravy so now I have very dry rice and oxtails.. I enjoyed my Sierra mist atleast thanks for that and when I called back to see if I could atleast get my gravy because they are literally 3 min away from my house the lady agreed but they never came. Thanks Once your food start to taste nasty time to close down good day read more

Called in an order of french toast sausage patties and eggs. You can tell these guys was busy when I got there and yet they still they still got my food out fresh and hot within 15 minutes. I'll say it again, Booker's is the shit! read more

Ribtip dinner was really great! Would have went with 5stars, but I think the tips could have been a little more tender. Mac and cheese was amazing and greens were good. Hot water cornbread was a nice touch. Customer service was awesome. Friendly staff I will be back . read more

Greens & Things - Ribtip dinner. - Barbeque Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I went here about 3months ago and babyy I tell you those lamb chop will make you hit the ground running. So darn good.

I was really excited to try this local place. They even had turkey meal options a day before Thanksgiving! However, their "Turkey Chop" was not as expected or described. I wasn't sure what a "turkey chop" was, so looked it up. "According to the National Turkey Federation, turkey chops are actually created from turkey diagonally cut across the grain from the breast portion." What I received appeared to be from the rear of the turkey. I did some looking and the two pieces I got were half of the "back" cut of turkey, the part right around the butt hole. Thinking there was some mistake when I picked up my order, I called to inquire what part of the turkey is their "chops." The lady had to ask the kitchen; she then told me "it's part of the breast." I stated that what I received was not breast and had hardly any meat on it. She then said "it won't have the meat like a pork chop. It'll still have the bone in it. It's horseshoe shaped." I agreed on the bone part and shape, but stated again that what I received wasn't breast and I couldn't quite figure out what cut of meat I received. I will NOT be eating my $14 turkey a$$ and will NOT be patronizing this establishment again! read more

Literally amazing food and fish! I can't wait to go back. I will probably become a regular. I had the catfish with mac and cheese and yams. I still have so much I want to try. read more

I ordered a delivery and they told me 20 minutes. I waited an hour before I called. I call up to cancel the order and literally nobody answers the call. Called six times with no answer, y'all owe me a rib tip! read more

Not sure how it taste but I ordered online 3.15.21 what I ordered wasn't available the business still hasn't refunded my $21.12. Guess I'll have to dispute the charges with my bank for a refund. read more

I am from Mississippi and I pride myself on Southern cooking and eating. I have eaten at many southern eateries but this establishment is by far the best. At first glance the building is quite intimidating; nevertheless, once you come in you will not be disappointed. Great customer service and hospitality exhibited. My family and I enjoyed the oxtails, ribs, porkchops, greens, cabbage, Mac & cheese, sweet potatoes, dressing, and baked beans. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The oxtails were tender and flavorful. I was so impressed. We ordered online and by the time I arrived it was ready. Due to the virus, their precautions were in place and I felt safe. If you don't feel like cooking or want to impress company do yourself a favor and give them a try. They have a customer for life from me. read more

Best kept secret! Haven't had a bad meal yet and the portions are huge! Chicken Lasagna was great on Sunday!

I went here about a week ago and the food was NASTY. I ordered the ribs, with macaroni and mashed potatoes and gravy on the side plus hot water cornbread. The mashed potatoes were alright but looked old, the macaroni was like it was stale.... and the ribs omg there were like 3 -4 ribs i could not eat because they were burnt and dry. And the hot water cornbread was cold asf! I also ordered a hi-c which had a strange taste to it I couldn't put my finger on it but it wasn't good. But I know i will NEVER be back read more
