Very impressed by our visit here. We came in around 5pm on a Saturday night and the place was busy-…read moreand for good reason. I didn't know it was pirate themed prior to coming, which was interesting. I don't understand it, but I'm sure there is a reasoning. We placed our order at the front quickly, and had our food out fast. We were able to find a table easily. The place wasn't too loud, and felt clean. We had a 1/2 brisket sandwich with coleslaw and rolls, as well as "The captain", which we both greatly enjoyed. The brisket wasn't anything out of the world, but for the price I'm impressed by how much we get. The slaw was great- a mayo based sauce. The rolls had a nice garlic taste. The fries were crispy, and had plenty of toppings. Overall, for the price of barbecue now a days, I'm impressed and will come back. Two barbecue meals, and two canned alcohol beverages for $45, along with good service and fun atmosphere is hard to find these days.

So you don't have to go through the restaurant if you dont want to. Its dark and moody in all the best ways. I was warmly greeted by the bartenders. I took a seat at the actual bar even though they had plenty of seating. I was super impressed with the cocktail list. All the drinks sounded delicious . I asked the bartender for suggestions. I decided to go for the Key Lime martini. Beautiful presentation and it tasted just like a key lime pie. My friend ordered the spicy margarita. It came in a cool, skull glass. Overall, very impressed with the drinks and the service. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their speciality cocktails.

This is a new spot for us but decided to try the barbecue with friends as close to the house and…read morewho doesn't love Barbecue?!? It is a bit hard to determine where to order given the large space once you walk in, but they have a counter with a chalkboard menu to the left along the wall. They have a TON of choices and a lot of great sounding sides. The best deals are either platters or meals, as they come with sides and drinks. But they also offer specials during the week which makes things interesting. We got fried chicken breast (as out of all other chicken options almost) with a side of coleslaw. Tasty but a bit dry on the chicken. They do have at least 6 sauces to use (self serve) so that helped but I'd probably try another option next time. I'm more of a heavily seasoned preference if going to go for chicken, so found it also a bit bland. But well cooked and fresh! The sides of several others were great with a lot of variety so you can mix and match. Everyone ate the majority of their meals, so I think it went over well as a new option. The portions are large for the price so you won't go away hungry for sure! It is worth checking out and I appreciate their commitment to Barbeque.

Well anyway, I was perusing social media and saw a post from this restaurant saying they were open and ready for business. I took that as a sign or some divine intervention and loaded up my truck and trecked the icy roads to get my Barbecue fix. This place is more than a catering business. They have barbecue, pies, and cookies. They also have a decent sized dining area with a television. There are also a couple of tables outside in front of the restaurant, but it was way too cold for that. They have a decent sized parking lot that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall that it is in. The restaurant offers catering, carry out and dining in. I got carry out. They have fried chicken, ribs, ham, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and steaks. They also have macaroni, green beans, collard greens, potato salad, backed beans, french fries, and baked potato. If that was not enough, they have a self-serve barbecue sauce station with a wide assortment of sauces to choose from. I ordered a brown sugar baked ham sandwich with a side of collard greens and baked beans. I also got a heat and serve chili and meatloaf for Christmas dinner. My ham sandwich was packed with meat. It was overflowing. It was delicious, very flavorful and tasty. The baked beans very also very tasty and had a bit of a kick to them, just like I like it. The collard greens were sweet as advertised, they had a slight vinegar taste, but not too strong. It has a distinct taste and I liked it a lot. The sweets and their barbecue sauces are all made in house and are mmmmm, mmmm delicious. My favorite sauce was their hot honey sauce. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed them. This is not only a very nice spot to have your catering needs met, but to eat some nice Q. It may not look like much on the outside, but there is a lot of deliciousness on the inside. I highly recommend checking this place out.

The baked beans were more average to good. My dining partner had the brisket, mashed sweet potatoes, and baked beans. She said the brisket was very generously portioned and delicious, as was the mashed sweet potatoes. It's a counter service setup, but they did bring out our drinks and make sure we had refills. Staff was very courteous. Restrooms were clean. Parking was easily accessible given the strip mall setting. Overall I would eat here again if I was in the area and would look to try some additional menu items. Please excuse the pulled pork Pic as I had already waded in and started eating before I took the picture.

This appears to be a catering service that offers take-out or dine-in lunch and diners. You can buy bulk or al la carte. The restaurant has a decent sized dining area with a couple of televisions for patrons enjoyment. The dining area is decorated with 80s movies posters and has a somewhat rustic vibe. There are also a few small tables outside, in front of the restaurant that you can sit as well. The woman working there was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. They serve barbecue, fried chicken, burgers, steaks, salmon, nachos, ham, brats, salads, sandwiches and wraps. I order the 3 piece fried chicken platter, which came with two sides (french fries and collard greens). I came on a Tuesday, but I should have came on a Friday because the fried chicken is buy one, get one free on Fridays. Oh well, now I know. The fried chicken is made to order, so it took about 20 minutes for me to get my meal, but it was fresh. I will admit, at first, I was a bit skeptical because the chicken was a lot lighter than I was used to. However, it was love at first bite. It was so crispy and delicious. The collard greens had a sweet vinegary taste to it and I liked that as well. You will find a sauce buffet here, with a bunch of different sauces and condiments that you can put in small containers that they provide and you can get them to-go or use it in the restaurant, like I did. I put some on the sauce on the already delicious chicken and it made it even better. I really like this place, It is kind of tucked away, so I am glad that I found it. If you looking for a place with a variety of good food, look no further. This is your place, I highly recommend checking this place out.

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.

I've had Brickyard Crossing Smokehouse bookmarked forever! Why have I waited so long to visit this…read moredelightful restaurant a mile and a half from my home? No longer! We'll be back soon to sample more of the menu option and take advantage of the beautiful view from the deck. First, know you DO NOT have to pay track admission at any time, including race days (the 500 & 400), to dine at the restaurant. Just inform the yellow shirts (there during races) as you enter off 16th Street you're there to dine at the Smokehouse. They'll wave you right in. Their regular hours are 11 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. However, they opened Sunday from 11-5 for the Brickyard 400 fans. Free parking is conveniently located in front of the restaurant. The Flag Room (over 21 only) is just off the lobby to the left and tastefully decorated in black and white race decor with a 60's feel. Slightly dated decor in the venue section of the building but it's coming back! The Flag Room has bar seating or 4-top tables with windows overlooking the back of turn 2 of the track. There was another dining area inside for under 21 patrons when we visited. Not sure if that area is always an option. As we entered the Flag Room our server asked if we'd prefer to sit on the deck. Yes, of course, on this beautiful fall day. And thank you for asking!! We could see both the jumbotron at IMS, hear the cars right next door and enjoy the players on the golf course all while sitting on the deck. On normal, non-racing days it's very peaceful and quiet. The deck is a large, family friendly, three tier deck overlooking the stunning Brickyard Crossing Golf Course. Room for families, friends or co-workers after work or a quiet table for two. The menu is larger than I expected. Simple two-sided menu with starters on one side and main courses on the other. A few of the appetizers are BBQ pulled nachos, smoked chicken wings, loaded fries, Smokehouse chili and three salads (Caesar, chef, tex-mex). Main courses are mostly sandwiches such as pulled pork hoagies, beef brisket, turkey bacon club, burger, tenderloin, chicken, smoked brisket tacos, house smoked baby back ribs and a veggie wrap. My husband ordered the Brisket sandwich which was not only a delicious sandwich but a good value for the price. It was served with yummy, thick, homemade chips finished off with their own in-house seasoning. Quite tasty and I ususally don't care for thick chips. I ordered a cup of the Smokehouse Chili with cheese and onion. I enjoyed the meaty, tomato based chili. For my entree I had the flavorful pulled pork hoagie served with excellent lightly battered fries. Again, it was a generous portion of pulled pork with a smokey sauce that had just a touch of sweetness. Most sauces are to sweet for me but I really enjoyed this one. The fries were amazing with a light batter, golden brown and seasoned well. Our server, Alicia I think, was attentive, very personable and friendly. Our drinks remained full, our tasty food arrived quickly and the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. Stop by for lunch or dinner and definitely take advantage of the deck before winter arrives.

Or at least, not how remember the food to taste years ago. My food seemed to have tasted old; perhaps reheated. And to be honest, the rib tips had a baked oven taste and not an actual grill taste. This caused some bit of an aftertaste. My sides didn't pass the taste either. Needless to say, I was disappointed and ended up throwing away my dinner. The lady at the counter was nice. I was greeted immediately and my order was accurate. Overall, Gip doesn't taste the same IMO.
