Great Ribs and pulled pork.

I think you got the good ones right in the above posts.
There is another off college ave and about 42 nd street that does the butcher paper and everything. One in terra huate on the north side that does the butcher paper stuff also. The one in terra haute is worth checking out.

Squealers best IMO, king ribs isn't nothing special

Hickory Hills down in Edinburgh is my favorite if you are going south of Indy at all.

Best,

I am not really a pig man but this was the best BBQ I have had.

Locally Grown Gardens. I do not know the current status of the weekend BBQs, so give them a call first.

I agree, that's why I included them in the 'Best BBQ' thread.

I am a brisket guy myself.... For the best brisket I suggest hanks BBQ .... It is at appx 30th and MLK....

Lot's of people like G.T South's, up at 71st and Binford. I think I prefer Black Diamond in that same area, but 'Q is a very personal choice.

We've had GT Souths a few times and they're pretty good, for BBQ in Indy. I'll second Kings ribs, too. They make a decent BBQ. A down in the hood kinda 'Que. They have a place over near the fairgrounds.

Does anyone have any experience with the jerk BBQ "place" on Keystone? I say "place" because it's mostly just a grill in a parking lot, but they are out there just about every day...something tells me it's excellent.

ETA: Jamaican Style Jerk - Indianapolis, IN

This is the place I'm referring to. Good reviews, anyone here?

Is that the Jamaican Grill place? All painted up? I've been meaning to stop in but haven't yet. I also have been really intrigued with a place right near there called "Word of Mouth". Not a 'Q place, but always seems to be a crowd there. Can't quite discern if it's a restaurant, bar or some other type of establishment...

That's the place. I'm gonna try to stop and get some of the jerk chicken this week.

Squealers IMHO is the worst I have ever been to for ribs. Heck the first time I ever cooked
ribs on my propane grill is better than the lone good rack I got from them.

3 out of the 4 times me and my family ate there, their ribs was hideous. 2 times they was undercooked
to the point that they was no where near done, but they tried to say "Smoked ribs will have a pink look to them".
I stuck my finger in between the bones and asked if that also meant as cold as my soft drink also.

I got a look, and asked them to bring out a meat thermometer, temp did not even hit 135 both times.
The 3rd bad rack was burnt to a crisp so bad that there was more bones showing than meat.

I'll buy ribs off of a Deaf, Dumb, Blind kid that's never cooked anything before I ever step foot in there again.



Had some ribs that was supposed to be from City BBQ that was good, there also used to be a guy on Pendelton Pike between
Franklin and Post Road named Andre that sold ribs that a ton of us from Monarch Beverage bought from that was decent.

Judge's Barbecue is very good too.

My traeger.

I've never had great BBQ at a restaurant. It's always so old that it pretty much sucks by the time they serve it.

 

[tryingtosurvive03]

City BBQ has great BBq and killer peach cobbler. Also corn pudding and maybe a bottle of Ski...
