    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.

    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.

    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!

    Small order of ribtips + fries.

    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

There was a lot of food for the price, and the ribs had plenty of meat on them. The fries were solid, and while the mac and cheese wasn't my favorite and reminded me a bit of cafeteria mac and cheese, I still left full and had leftovers to take home. The food was ready surprisingly fast, probably within 7 to 10 minutes. The staff was friendly throughout the visit and did a great job checking in on us, clearing trays, and making sure everything was going well. As for the atmosphere, I can appreciate the theme they were going for, even if it's not quite my style. The dining room is pretty dark, and the dark murals make it feel even darker. That said, the food and service easily made up for it. Overall, it was a really good experience and a place I'd happily visit again.

Hubby and I ordered a meal for two and it came with your choice of 2 meats plus ribs, and 2 sides along with bread rolls, and pickled veggies. We decided on the pulled chicken, brisket, ribs, with sides of Mac n cheese and bbq beans. Everything was delicious and very filling. Kinda sad that I didn't get to order dessert as we decided too late and didn't want to get back in line. Restaurant is set up where you're in line to place your order and pick up your order at the other counter. Line can get a little long but it goes by pretty fast. You then seat yourself and all the condiments, sauce, and drinks are all at different stations for self serve. There are plenty of seats inside and even a bar inside the restaurant. Very casual and kid friendly atmosphere.

The fatty brisket especially was incredible. Tender, juicy, packed with flavor, and honestly didn't even need sauce. This recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. Apparently you can't request fatty or lean anymore, and the brisket I received was so dry it literally crumbled apart like beef sawdust. There was basically zero fat left on it, which also meant very little flavor. For the first time ever, the sauce wasn't optional... it was rescue equipment. The ribs were okay, but even they weren't what they used to be. They used to have that perfect fall-off-the-bone texture, and now they were just kind of there. Not terrible, just disappointing compared to how good this place once was. I'm not trying to trash Trax because I know how great they can be. That's actually what makes this frustrating. It feels like the brisket went from "Texas smokehouse masterpiece" to "beef jerky with a college degree."

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

You can order the meat only or get a dinner that includes 2 sides and your choice of bread (white, wheat, or cornbread). They provide very generous portion sizes. The rib tips are the best that I have had in Indy thus far. They are tender and the seasoning they use is delicious. You could eat them without any sauce. However, the sauce is what takes it over the top for me. They offer sweet, medium, hot, or they will mix the sauces for you. The hot has a pretty good kick as a warning if you are sensitive to spice. I recently tried the Bar B Q bun, which is essentially a pulled pork sandwich. The pork is finely shredded and the sauce is poured on top of the pork. It's almost a fork and knife sandwich, as the bottom bun gets soaked in the sauce. Their sides have definitely reduced in quality over the years. I recently tried the mac and cheese and greens. As a note, they only have greens Friday - Sunday and they often times run out on Sunday if you do not get there early. The mac and cheese was dry and had little flavor. The greens, which used to be my favorite in the city, reminded me of cooked spinach and weren't seasoned. The service remains great. With the amount of people waiting while I was there, they were friendly and efficient. I wanted to order chess pie and there were not any readily available behind the counter. They told me they had some coming out of the oven in the kitchen if I was willing to wait and they brought it over once done. It is carry-out only, so be prepared to take it elsewhere to eat. You can call ahead to place your order as well.
