    I haven't tried Smokey Bones, but I did try City BBQ and it was horrible. They trick you by having hickory stacked outside the restaurant, but the crap they served when I was there had never seen smoke. Totally flavorless crap. :noway::noway:
    Agree, it's just that they're everywhere around here which makes it easy to satisfy the urge on a whim.
    I'm not impressed with smokey bones either. Tried The Rusty Silo in B-Burg too and wasn't impressed either.

    I haven't been, but I've heard good things about BBQ Heaven. Also King Ribs. I think the best BBQ joints aren't going to be chain restaurants. They'll be the little hole-in-the-wall places in "the hood".

    I have been past that many times and it does smell good. May have to try it soon.

    I'd rather just go to City BBQ or Smokey Bones for my ribs if it's not practical to smoke my own.

    What other BBQ joints are the INGO favorites around Indy? I really miss G.T. South's at 71st & Binford since they went out of business due to not paying taxes for 10 years (the reason I heard they closed). They were hands down the best around the northside for years.
    Is the place south of the speedway across from the indoor go cart track still there serving bbq?

    I think you’re referring to barbecue and bourbon. Yes they’re still there and it is pretty good. Never had their baby backs, but the brisket sandwich was pretty good.
    Every time we have traveled to indy just to eat there the place was standing room only and we had to settle for franchise bbq.

    if you are in the Lafayette area, go to south street smokehouse. It has been closing early through the week, but has evening hours on Saturday

    Never had worse ribs than from there. So tough and chewy I couldn’t eat it.

    Rusty Silo is in Lizton. Brownsburg has a Dicky's, but it's not even open. At least the Rusted Silo is open.

    In the country, hopefully.
    In Westfield Ben's BBQ in a little house right in downtown is the best.
    Not a turkey fan but he has the best turkey I've ever had hands down and really the best everything.
    Open Friday-Sunday and sells out everyday by 2.

    Sheridan has True Texan BBQ that is really good, doesn't need any sauce and is delicious. Open Thursday and Friday lunch and dinner.

    I guess I won't try it then! :): When I lived over in Eagledale back in the late 80's and early 90's we had a little place at 30th and Lafayette that we liked. But for the life of me I can't remember their name. They eventually moved down to around Kessler and Lafayette. Seems like the name began with a T.
    Man, it's times like these that I miss Churchmouse. :( Bet he'd know.

    dont get me wrong. It tasted great. But Ive had less chewy jerky.

    Definitely not low and slow.

    Your taste in quality meats was in question when you blasphemed the McRib.

    Now I know you are a vegan.
