6 pork potato skins
L S.

GOOD EATS! BBQ is flavorful and serves up generously on sandwiches and on the potato skins. Salads are fresh, fried pickles on point and there is a bar section and then a pinball wizard section. Great service, quick, attentive staff. Clean restaurant with sports score can't be missed as it is piped into the room. A good spot for good eats.

A Full Slab of Ribs with Baked Beans, Fries, and Potato Salad
Richard Walton C.

Rubbin' Butts has been on my 'To Try' list for awhile and I finally had an opportunity to check them out. They are located in a strip of shopping stores. A sign on the wall just inside the door says "seat yourself." The booths have hard bench seating and their tables have padded chairs. The TVs look like at least 65 or 70 inches to me and there are a lot of them. My granddaughter and I ordered a Full Slab of Ribs and split them. I ordered the potato salad and baked beans. She got the fries. Then she pranked me. She told me the fries were really spicy so I grabbed the red squeeze bottle and put some ketchup on my plate first and tried them. They were one of the spiciest things I've ever ate. Truth was the real ketchup bottle was hidden behind the roll of paper towels and the red squeeze bottle was the spicy BBQ sauce. The fries were fine as in normal. She got me good. She made the same mistake though and then decided I should share her misery, lol. The ribs were excellent as were the baked beans and fries. I didn't care for the potato salad. There was nothing wrong with it; it just didn't appeal to my palate. And we both enjoyed the large order of fries. Next time she wants to try the Pulled Chicken Sandwich and I would like to try the Pulled Pork Sandwich or the Shrimp Basket.

Smoked rudder hot wings.
Michele R.

Had WDRB certificate and wanted to try this place out. We got 20 wings. 10 with Rudder Hot (great spice!) and 10 BBQ sauce. Also got the family meal that had smoked pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket, two baked potatoes and a slab of ribs. Every item was well smoked. So tender. Also got the brisket quesadilla. The bourbon BBQ sauce is excellent and a little spicy. They give you slices of bread but I wish they would serve buns with the family meal. They did forgetthe butter and sour cream. With the coupon the bill came to $77. Rounded up to $100 for the tip. Got everything to-go but I still leave a nice tip. Worth going! Great smoked food.

Rubbin' Butts, Sellersburg
Bruce K.

Still open in the pandemic days, Rubbin' Butts has roped off half their booths and moved the tables in the dining area so that they're further away from each other. Staff is masked and most of the patrons are masked when they're walking around. Not great enforcement today, but I'm sure they'll get better. I chose smoked meatloaf for dinner tonight. A good sized portion and with the draft beer that's on special made for an inexpensive and tasty meal. I would definitely consider another meal from Rubbin' Butts if only for the name.

Lunch special
Derek C.

I've been here twice for lunch. It's been slow mid-week which means that the service is that much faster. They have a lunch special in addition to the main menu. I've stuck with that each time. You get a sandwich with their limited choice of meat and their homemade chips. I've had the pulled pork and meatloaf so far. Previously, I also took a pint of mac and cheese home for my daughter. She ate the entire thing so that's also a rave review. This is more Memphis, Indiana than Memphis, Tennessee but it is still high on the hog for barbecue in Indiana. If you're in Sellersburg, it is a must-see.

Yummy brisket!
Trish S.

Our order: Spicy brisket and baked beans (me), combo with shrimp, scallops, fries and coleslaw (Hubster), $3 cougar bait 20oz beer (both) The location looks like two storefronts from the outside. It's a large location with super fast service on the inside. The drink special was especially nice after a long day on the road! I really enjoyed the brisket. My husband wasn't as enamored with his selection, as some hush puppies were serving as scallop impostors in his dinner. He ate 'em, just wished he'd known they'd be in there. It's got a great little bar area with a restaurant suitable for families and large groups. Everyone was really friendly and we enjoyed the stop.

Incredibly good mac & cheese, and their basic Pulled Pork Sandwich you also have the option of a bun if you want.

I am blown away at how good this place is! I've always been familiar but I've never actually had…read morethe chance to come here. Immediately upon walking in you can smell the Smokey flavors brewing!! The young lady at the front desk was super helpful, as a first timer I had no idea what to order and I'm a bit indecisive when it comes to food! Not only was she super patient but she recommended some great items and even threw in a free dessert since it was my first time. So let's go ahead and rate everything! The turkey was a 20 out of 10! Seriously some of the best smoked turkey I've tasted and it was super moist and it pairs nicely with the mesquite bbq sauce(TRUST ME). I also ordered the Mac & Cheese and I'd say it was a solid 8.5 out of 10. I'm a fan but it felt like it was missing a little something but overall just a great taste. The collard greens were delicious! Sweet but not overly done and I really loved that they didn't add meat and just kept it simple with peppers! Very good. The cornbread tasted like my mom was back there making it from scratch. Seriously good! Now for the grand finale? The peach cobbler!!! Are you serious?? This was sooooo good! The peaches, the crust? I mean it deserves an award. Overall probably some of the best dessert I've had in a long time! This place has a new fan and weekly customer, it's worth every penny, and I'm happy it's not far from home! I ordered to go and the service was beyond quick and food was hot even when I got home. Also, I have to mention everything was packaged so neat and I have to say hats off to the staff! If you dine in, there are plenty of tables and seating. I'm glad I finally got to try this place and I think you should too, especially if you're reading this :)

I prefer my fries on the crispy side, but I ate these anyways. We also got a piece of cornbread by accident and that didn't hurt my feelings. I had interaction with Ben, Manager and Gabriel, at register. They were very cordial and informative. A young lady came by our table and offered a free taste of cucumber and tomato salad. Wife and I both got a sample and agree it was good. I look forward to our next visit and try the meatloaf and some other sides.

I'm happy to say it is! My only complaint in the past was that their version of 'country seasoning' was an overabundance of salt and pepper.

Service is always pleasant and efficient too, and the dining room is well cared for, nicely decorated and spotless

Tonya was our personable and professional servers and did a great job. It appeared everyone enjoyed their food. I ordered the BIG salad with grilled chicken. I once stuffed myself eating it. This time I didn't do that, but took almost half home and finished it later. It is a very nice salad with different lettuce, cucumber, hard boiled egg slices, tomatoes, etc. Others had chicken, fish, onion rings, sweet potato fries, pork chops, and more. We always have a good time in the private room. I have dined in the open dining area also which was perfectly comfortable. They added a four seasons room outside and apparently building something else. I can't wait to see what the finished addition is. They put in some wonderful, extra parking in back. This is one of our favorite places to meet at for food and fellowship.

The location I originally planned on visiting (closer to Whiskey Row in Louisville) literally closed a couple of days before I came into town. Not a big deal. I found this location and it was on the road and on the way of my drive to Indianapolis. When I walked in, I was greeted by the friendliest person and was seated in a booth. My server came over and I apologize, but I forget the young lady's name - I think it was Chloe (or Zoey?) - but she was just so attentive and pleasant. I ordered the (brisket) sandwich and burgoo combo. It came out pretty quickly. The burgoo was a good 'stick to your ribs' type of dish and the sandwich was tasty. There are two types of BBQ sauce on the table to add to the sandwich depending on your preference. Really solid meal overall. A lot of food for a reasonable price too! I got a box for most of my sandwich so I can enjoy later that evening. The service style here is a full service sit down restaurant, but vibe is still pretty casual. Feels like one of those restaurants where you don't want to cook, but you want a delicious hot meal that won't break the bank. Although I was here by myself, this place looks like it would be great for groups and families as well.

The service was especially great. Our server was very friendly and helpful throughout the visit. We ordered the 12-piece wings, and she mentioned we could choose two sauces. When we asked for the sauces on the side, she went above and beyond and brought out several different sauces so we could try more flavors. That was a really thoughtful touch and definitely appreciated. We also ordered a large pizza. The flavor was very good and we enjoyed it, although the amount of toppings felt a little light for the size. Still, everything tasted fresh and the overall experience was enjoyable.
