Overall very good BBQ. The pork was 5-star. The ribs were 4 star. The brisket was 3 or 4 star. Brisket is hit it miss, it is good but needs better crust and moister control. The brisket was a bit dry and lacking the classic smoke, fat and bark. They do know how to cook brisket b/c some days it is better than others. Great atmosphere! Overall highly recommended.

The brisket had a good smoke ring and flavor. I had the white BBQ sauce. The sauce was a bit vinegar forward and you could only taste a hint of the horseradish, but it still had a good flavor profile that paired well with the brisket. The place does not have coke or Pepsi, instead there are sodas from the smaller soda makers. I was also impressed how the menu of sides changes everyday.

Super yummy BBQ! It's a quick stop downtown Indy. The menu has a wide selection without being overwhelming. You order and pay first, then find your table. The sauce bottles on the table are unique and if you like them, you can buy a bottle for $5. I got a pulled pork sandwich (granted my picture only shows half of it as I ate half before taking the picture). The fries were fried right after I ordered. I will definitely go back to try more food!

I walked over for lunch today after being mesmerized by the chicken biscuit on the online menu. It certainly came to me looking exactly as pictured on the menu - which is a huge plus. I loved the fried chicken, light and airy but really crunchy. Seasoning was good, but I felt the sauce was a little lackluster. I loved the flavor, but it was missing some oomph, I really wanted it to have more of a kick. The biscuit was yummy and short in texture like a biscuit should be. The honey butter... mmmmmm. Very good compliment to the chicken and sauce. I felt a tad uncomfortable after I ordered because staff seemed to be upset - or something - after I ordered the biscuit. The front line cook called back for the biscuit and then a flurry of "really, come on" and other similar reactions came through. I may have misinterpreted what this meant and maybe they were talking about something else, but I didn't enjoy feeling like my order was a burden. I will be back, though, because this was my first visit and I enjoyed the food. Edit: Thanks to the owner for a very kind response back. I appreciate the clarification :)

Finally made a trip here to give this place a try. The food was fantastic. I had a Brisket Cheesesteak sandwich that was absolutely delicious. It was very messy (which I expected), I ended up eating with a fork because the bread was not much help. Hey also have a great selection of BBQ sauces on the table to choose from. The Coffee BBQ sauce and the Cherry Berry BBQ sauce were my favorite. Really different options. The reason I give them 4 stars is for two main reasons: 1) The price was a bit high for most items. The sandwich I got was $12 and didn’t come with a side, which I didn’t realize until after I ordered. 2) It was slightly confusing to order and know what to do from there. It was a bit hectic up front so I ended up standing awkwardly for a minute or two along with a couple other patrons who had no idea what to do as well. Overall, it was well worth the visit and I would recommend it to anyone.
