Best Indiana Barbecue Location?

[rockhopper46038]

I've eaten at Black Diamond a few times, and I think it's pretty decent. I might give GT South's the edge though. I enjoyed City BBQ on the Southside...it is a chain, but a privately held small one. Best BBQ I've had in Indiana is Big Shoes BBQ in the Haute. I don't even know if it's still around, but it's worth a stop. It is deep in the hood, though.

BTW, Charlies Mongolian is the best "BBQ" in Evansville.

Don't know any good ones in IN but when you travel to Texas and make it through Weatherford at exit 402 there is a little place called Outlaw BBQ pit. Yesterday was the first time in over a year since I've been down there they have the best chopped brisket sandwich there is. IMO

I didn't eat all day knowing I was heading there, and the owner is always there and recognized me immediately. (used to eat there everyday when I lived there)

Im a big fan of GT South here on the southside of indy and when I feel like a little drive SQUEALERS off 144 and 67. They frequent the Rib Fest downtown indy every year.

Squealers was mmm mmm good.

my backyard

I agree, my back yard makes some pretty dang tasty que.

I make other things there as well. Just finished off a batch of 100% homemade summer sausage there this past week, it's pretty dang tasty too.

I recommend Marx BBQ on Evansville Westside for pit-style (loose meat in sauce). Serve it up on some German rye bread with fresh sliced onions, and maybe a pickle on the side. They have burgoo year-round too.

I prefer Wolf's BBQ in Evansville for ribs.

Hickory Hills BBQ in Edinburgh is the best I've had in IN

I'll have to try that one.

Another vote for Squealers! Pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, brisket...it's not even 7am and I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. They have an appetizer there that is a full meal for two in itself, BBQ nachos, I highly recommend them. They have a few variations of sauces and on the wall as you walk in they have multiple awards from various BBQ contests they have won.

Two locations, one on 86th st and one in Moorseville.

South Street Smokehouse came to my mind as soon as I saw the title of this thread. I've tried several place but haven't beat South Street yet. Is it too early for BBQ? I am already hungry for it now.

Not a big pig fan, but Locally Grown Gardens on 54th Street in Indianapolis has the best pig around.

South Street Smokehouse in Lafayette is very good too.

In Vincennes its Hog-N-Dog. Wins hands down imo.

I've been to Dicks in Indy, that is why I'm posting this. Not sure where if they actually do their own smoking. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I am not sure if it is the same, but there is a bbq joint near SR 37 and 238 in Noblesville in the building that used to be a Nobel Romans. His smoke pit is right in the building.. I buy the pulled pork and make my own sause and rice.

If you are a fan of South eastern US style BBQ like Richmond County GA;
Sconyers is the best in the country.....especilly the hash

There are two family run BBQ joints in Anderson Indiana that are quite tasty... Hoping some locals can help out with the names.

There's Birds in Daleville. Not sure about what's in Anderson.

Had dinner there just the other night; a distributor rep was wining and dining me. The chicken-n-dumpling soup was unremarkable, the pulled pork sandwich was very good, and the bourbon pecan pie was...

I will certainly be back!

your missing out if you didn't get the fried ribs and BBQ nachos.

Smokin' Jack's Rib Shack in Bloomington is a place I enjoy.

The last time I was in Indy, I was heading to Broad Ripple to visit some friends and noticed a BBQ place on Keystone Ave. It was an old car wash that had been turned into a BBQ restaurant with a drive-thru. I found that to be entertaining.

smoking jacks is the best in town because fatmans is gone. you get more for the money all day long at smoking jacks and their mac n cheese is great.

Too lazy to look at every post but the new place in Greenwood, City BBQ is the best tasting bbq I've had in the 12 years living in this cold, white, bbq deprived state. Except of course when I go down to Oklahoma to visit my dad, then the problem is too many good places and not enough meals to cover them all while here. We were coming back from Columbus OH last month and drove about 45 minutes out of our way to try the City BBQ in Dayton and are happy to report that it was just as good over there. Now our trips to Columbus will be rerouted so that the City BBQ in Dayton ISN'T out of our way!

BTDT I'll second that emotion on Outlaw!!!!

Another vote for Smokin' Jack's. It's probably the best in B'town now, but none of them can come close to the BBQ Train when it was here.
