    Driving all around Indianapolis shopping for stuff for my kids dorm room, and my kid gets hangry - we decide to see what's around - barbeque with great ratings! I have to be honest, not sure this is the correct location, but I just found out its a chain...I don't care! It was GOOD! We really enjoyed all of the meats and the choices of sauces was super fun. The food was hot and came out quickly, which is good, no one wants to be around a hangry teenager. Oh we just really enjoyed it, but my son could have used an antacid afterwards lol his fried chicken bowl was delicious but spicier than he was used to. I think we ate all but two of the little corn ball thingies. Gotta' look up their name. Funny we picked a chain, but it was good - don't be a snob - come and try it! So next time I'm getting the chocolate cake.

    City sampler
    Lindsey M.

    Staff is welcoming, fantastic, and friendly. I ordered the city sampler meal which came with Turkey, brisket, pulled pork and Texas style-sausage and 2 sides. I definitely do not recommend ordering the sausage, try anything but the sausage. It does not taste good. The brisket has good moist pieces and then dry pieces. The Turkey was tender but a little dry. I did not enjoy the taste the pulled pork unless it was dipped in a lot of bbq sauce. I tried the green beans, baked beans, and potato salad. The potato salad is delish!! I couldn't stop eating it. If your going to try some meat, recommend ordering the brisket and turkey. Very clean inside and nice decor.

    Motherload

    Smelled amazing as soon as we walked through the door. We were a group of 5 and decided to get the Motherload so we could share a bit of everything. We overestimated how hungry we were because it was a TON of food, but made for great leftovers.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Luke W.

    Fantastic service, old school metal and stone atmosphere, and genuine menu offering tasty bbq and brisket, I dropped in motivated by the twenty five cent pulled pork offer on their rewards program. Had to snag another meaty sandwich to go, both lasted well packaged for my drive home, I cannot complain at twelve bucks and twenty five cents for very decent meals. This is a great chain that demands the loyalty program to balance prices. I don't get the high charges for sides or desserts, a bit odd for a basic slaw to cost as much as a Slim Chicken's shake. Parking is easy in this location, plenty of room right along the Indy to Chicago interstate. I have had much of the menu from other locations, some excellent like brisket and some below average like some sandwiches that need too much sauce to fill in the flavor gaps. Overall I'm more tempted for Chili's and local breweries when it comes to meats to maximize value however when the deal ding dongs I'm here!

    Clockwise: ribs and chicken, smoked sausage, salad, colored greens and mac'n'cheese.

    My wife and I came here on a whim and shucks I'm glad we did. Typically I'm skeptical of barbecue joints up here in the north but City Barbecue is amazing!! We ordered the smoked sausage which comes on a delicious piece of toast and is covered in coleslaw. Next a sampler with ribs and chicken. The wife got a salad and we got colored greens and some mac'n'cheese. The food was glorious!! We also got an assortment of sauces so we could find one we liked. Turns out we liked them all but the spicy sauce was my absolute favorite! You know it's good barbecue when you feel like taking a nap afterwards. If you have a barbecue jones then City Barbecue is for you!!

    Pulled pork pretty much all fat and undercooked at that. Paid for cornbread but it wasn't in the bag. Green beans essentially tasteless.

ONLY IN INDIANA. I've heard about Hoosier Roots since they opened. It's about an hour from my house (thank all things holy!) and it's TOTALLY WORTH THE TRIP. (8 minutes outside Brownsburg) We kept it simple- 1 order of chicken (8 pieces, yep, 1 whole chicken) 1 small jalapeño mac & cheese, and because they had house made fried pickles, what the hell- add those, too. Walked out with 2 containers of left overs, all for the grand total of $37. Hoosier Roots ain't bougie. This is a jeans & t-shirt place. But, dang- the chicken is better than my grandma's out of the cast iron skillet. I would absolutely take my fancy friends from out of state to get a REAL taste of Indiana. Trust me- they'll be talking about it for ages. We better be careful, it might become the next ironically hip place that the likes of me can't get in to.

When I went back Flies were all over the cut piece waiting to be served to the guest, constantly running out of water and it was a hot day. The mother of the groom kept running back to the room to chased them down as they we're hiding in the back room behind closed doors, , not even rotating out to the dining hall to see if they could do any work! The leader kept saying she was taking accountability that was an excuse as I don't believe she even knew what accountability means. it waste of money and a very disappointing service for a wedding that we have looked forward to for a long time. I know this is a sub company of the Ritz Charles so shame on you.!

Seating is also tight but there is room in the back and tables outside. Order at the counter and wait for your number to be called for your meal. You can also see the pit with the meat cooking. There are plenty of options though there is no true 2 meat plate. That's ok because I made it work. I went with the spare ribs meal and then took the Chuck Norris home to my wife. The ribs were tasty but they gave my jaw a workout, which I do not like. The Chuck Norris though was an impressive sandwich. It came on Texas Toast with pulled pork, brisket, fried egg, bacon, onion, and Pimento cheese. The brisket or pulled pork would be what I would go to next time. For my sides, I had beans, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. All were phenomenal but potato salad was the best! It was a mustard base whipped style. The beans were the pinto beans/ranch style with tomatoes and a vinegar taste. The mac and cheese was creamy with goldfish on top. There are 4 sauces and all were phenomenal. I wish I could take all of them home!. You have the tomato bases in a mild, zesty flavor and a spicy, habanero flavor. There is also Carolina Mustard and Bama white. I think I loved the mild the most. There is fresh-brewed sweet tea which is hard to come by in Indiana but this Bama Boy would love it to be more sweeter. It was a step above water. The Chuck Norris, sauces, and sides make Rusty Silo easily a 4-star. If the spare ribs were easier to chew, a 5-star from this guy would have been given.
