I agree with you 100% on everything in your review, some items are just too dry. I'm might a big BBQ fan unless it's perfect. The sweet sauce is amazing and I would ask for two sides of it.<br />Another tasty treat there, the milkshakes and grilled cheese.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363744706476568003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-26277639886252852412011-01-05T16:10:10.424-05:002011-01-05T16:10:10.424-05:00Drew- I wondered about that sandwich... maybe next...Drew- I wondered about that sandwich... maybe next time.<br /><br />Tucan Samantha and Katywren- thanks for the recs!Erin in Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236924407558284371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-51176467455215226402011-01-05T15:40:07.754-05:002011-01-05T15:40:07.754-05:00I have been a couple of times and it was okay, wha...I have been a couple of times and it was okay, what struck me the most was how bad and slow the service was both times and trust me it wasn't busy, I always give servers the benefit of the doubt, so went back after the first time, same server months apart and still slow and bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-37067162406810481202011-01-05T14:01:14.630-05:002011-01-05T14:01:14.630-05:00Same here Samantha, I was totally underwhelmed.

When my husband ordered as side of veggies they were hardly cooked and mostly big pieces of red onion. Ribs were blah. I do appreciate that they do everything inhouse, but if it's not done well i'd rather have it out-sourced.<br />Ditto on Black Diamond.

Just not into that smoked style either.<br /><br />On that note, you MUST head down a little further south to All-American Clubhouse (S. Meridian and Hanna) for some OUTSTANDING BBQ. Good service and beer selection too- would be anxious to seea review. We were surprised at how good it was, especially considering it looks like any other hole-in-the-wall pub at first glance.Mrs. Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906449803274978420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-53332704429134438382011-01-05T10:41:10.653-05:002011-01-05T10:41:10.653-05:00I've also had the ribs & been disappointed...I've also had the ribs & been disappointed (got a gift card for my birthday).<br /><br />However, the one thing that's never been bad there is the pulled pork sandwich. Loaded, fresh, and juicy, with a side of their great BBQ sauce (partial towards the spicy). Sweet potato fries and baked beans are usually what I get. That's a lot of food for $6.50!Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08796398094244456423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-39411357630862277472011-01-04T20:42:30.648-05:002011-01-04T20:42:30.648-05:00Jessica,

I love that they do so much in house!<br /><br />My favorite local bbq is Black Diamond off Binford on the NE side of Indy (http://blackdiamondbbqcatering.com/). They have very moist brisket and pork shoulder. They catered our neighborhood's annual picnic and did an amazing job, at a fraction of the cost of other places we tried. They're worth the 20 minute drive from Noblesvile!Jessica in Noblesvillenoreply@blogger.com
