We visited this restaurant around 4pm on a Monday afternoon and it was superb! Our server was extremely attentive and welcoming! She recommended the barbecue cater to our needs and was very attention to detail. She delivered the service I experienced in a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton and her service was truly above and beyond. Food was as good as the barbecue I had in Houston and there’s nothing to complain. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s visiting the Indy 500 Motorway.

My first American bbq experience!! I had the 2 meat platter with beef brisket and smoked sausage. In every the best I ever had from the bbq I tried all the condiments, and the 7 pepper was my favorite! The platter was complimented with two side dishes, fried onion rings and pickled cucumber I think? What an eye opener! The combination of flavors was amazing!! Many thanks for this outstanding experience will definitely recommend this.

This place was recommended to me while in town and I'm really glad I stopped by. The staff were friendly and the bartender made an excellent recommendation of the breaded mushrooms. I also got a Kentucky mule and the breaded tenderloin. The drink was made really well and delicious. The mushrooms and tenderloin were also cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The tenderloin was thick and had a great meat to breading ratio. The other food I saw in the restaurant also looked delicious and all of the prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be back in the future. The alcohol selection in the bar was impressive as well.

Wonderful staff! Fantastic Service! Great recommendations! Generous pours! We had the Mac and cheese with brisket, a two meat combo (brisket and rib tips), each was perfect! Really wished we lived closer to come more often. An absolute MUST VISIT in Indy! We even bought some sauce to go!

Very tasty spot in the really cool “Speedway” district. Rib tips, biscuit and ham were solid. The spicy corn dip was amazing! KC still has my heart!

Honestly, one of my favorite places to go in speedway, Indiana, right in the heart of Indianapolis. What an amazing staff. A great bar staff. Unbelievable. Good drinks. Get the Old fashion. Their barbecue's amazing all their food is so good. Honestly though, my favorite thing here though is their tenderloin breaded one but their barbecue is top notch.
