    Had the tips with mac and slaw. The tips were tender but salty and not a fan of any of the sauces. The mac was OK but nothing special Coleslaw was also OK Sweet tea to drink that was good Fryer was not available so no fries

    Pulled pork, chicken, French fries and Cajun cole slaw

    Happen to be in the area shopping at the outlet malls and I was starving. So, we happened to find this bbq joint. Had to use the restroom and it is not inside, but outside the joint. When you walk inside, they immediately notify you of what they have run out of for the day. High demand place to eat. We came at 2pm on a Sunday and they only had pork, chicken, or wings. They ran out of the pork by the time we finished our meals. I definitely recommend the pork. The French fries were nice and crispy and the Cajun coleslaw was delicious. The pork was tasty with no bbq sauce, but the yellow Carolina gold, and other sauces were a great addition to the flavor of the pork. I would recommend the chicken, it was dry. Definitely will try again in future when in the area. It's a BBQ joint. Indoor seating was a plus, but wear a jacket, it's cold inside.

    This place was within walking distance from The Edinburgh softball complex, so we made our way there for lunch! It was very good! I had the piglet sandwich w sweet sauce, Mac and cheese and Cajun coleslaw. I was hoping to try the rib but they were sold out for the day. Not a place I would have normally stopped but bc of the proximity of where it was we took a chance and I'm glad I did!

    Brisket and burnt ends

    I was using Yelp to find BBQ in South Indiana not far off of I-65. I found Hickory Hillz in Edinburgh with a very strong rating. My destination was set to find this little red bigger than a shack off of Highway 31. As I entered, I ordered at the counter and went with the 2 meat platter. I asked the lady which 2 meats she liked the best between pork, brisket, and burnt ends. She said the brisket and burnt ends were her favorite so I went with those 2 meats. The burnt ends looked phenomenal and they were really good. But I think burnt ends are not my favorite because they tend to be a little tougher to chew. But overall, these burnt ends were really good and the presentation had me salivating. The brisket looked kind of dry but it was actually pretty good brisket. I would have liked it a little more moist but it was easy to chew. For my sides I had potato salad and Cajun Cole slaw. My portions were very generous. The potato salad was a solid mustard base. The Cajun Cole slaw was impressive with its creaminess and spice added in. There are 4 sauces - a mild tomato base, a Carolina mustard, a sweet heat, and an extra hot. I wouldn't classify the extra hot as super hot though it does have a medium level of heat. But out of the sauces, I liked it the best with its peppery, hot sauce but yet tomato-ey flavor. The sweet hear was my 2nd favorite but I liked all the sauces. The only disappointment for me about Hickory Hillz was the sweet tea. First of all, there was none and if there had been that day, it would have been that abomination known as Gold Peak from a machine. Fresh brewed sweet tea is always better. Hickory Hillz is a legit Texas style BBQ place with tasty sauces, terrific meat, and gratuitous portions. I will bring my own fresh-brewed sweet tea next time.

    Ain't cheap, but sure is extra tasty BBQ! Sides are an extra $3, but good size. Burnt tips are sauced and perfect burnt tips with flavor filled tender brisket. Clean no frills road side mini sized eatery. Encourage you to topand forget about eating at or near outlets, this is just up the road and we will be back, the smell is amazing and food is yummy.

    You can expect a line into the parking lot on a summer day for this little barbeque stand in Edinburgh. This is a small family run operation where they cook the barbecue outback. There's a pile of hickory wood next to the building. There's a small dining room that will seat about 25 people. People wait patiently in line in anticipation. The staff is friendly. The menu offers a variety of favorites including pulled pork, brisket and chicken. Prices are very reasonable and servings huge. We tried the pulled pork nachos and the brisket sandwich with sides of Cajun cole slaw and baked beans. They offer chili peppers and pickles on the side. The pickles are delicious. The barbeque pulled pork and brisket is moist and perfectly prepared. I LOVED the brisket sandwich. They offer a couple good different sauces - spicy and vinegary. The coleslaw was wonderful - creamy and spicy. The beans were smokey and good. We topped off our meal with a piece of key lime pie which was a whipped cream non traditional key lime pie. It was delicious - so good I wanted another. They are only opened Tuesday-Saturday. There is one restroom outside. This is a must try in Indiana!

    I've been to a lot of BBQ places, and this one won't be forgotten. Stopped in while working in the area and was greeted with the smell of deliciousness as soon as I opened my truck door in the parking lot. I was not disappointed with anything other than not having room in my belly to try more. What impressed me the most was the prices, after COVID everything seemed to go through the roof. Their prices were very reasonable and made me wish I had a place like this closer to home.

    To go ribs and rib tips (weekend's special). So much meat, it lasted me almost a whole week. Salad was not part of the restaurant

    I unfortunately didn't have the best experience here however, the atmosphere was so warm and cozy…read moreand I love the location. I ordered a grilled cheese along with a sugar pie slice and a London fog. They have other baked good options which looked good too. The grilled cheese was very small and I think cheese got into the pan because it was also cooked onto the bottom side of the sandwich. It was a very small grilled cheese. The London fog tasted quite strong and the sugar pie didn't really stand out. There were other items on the menu though that I'd love to try if I ever go back. What I think took this down to 3 stars was the service. When I went to order, I was just stared at and I thought maybe they weren't ready for me yet but they were. There was just no greeting of "Hi, welcome in" or even a "What can I get for you?" It was just a stare and silence. Now the staff were not unkind...they certainly seemed friendly but that lack of greeting didn't feel great. Additionally, they were very quiet or mumbled when calling out orders and so it seemed like many people listening never heard their order including me. I also had to ask again for the pie after having paid. I bought a bandana as well and didn't see the price tag. When I asked how much it was the staff member said it was either 12 or 15 dollars. She rang it up as 15 when later I saw the price tag and it clearly said $12. I showed the staff member and she said it was $15 and it was a handwriting issue for the price tag. I rarely write reviews less than five stars but I do think if there could be a bit more initiative from the staff and orders called out more clearly and louder for drinks so they don't spoil that would really help.

    This place was packed! The inside is small, but cozy and there are spaces to sit - the window bar…read moreseat looks to be the best because then you can look outside to see what's going on in downtown Franklin. I ordered a butterbeer latte, then noticed some winter menu flavors so I'm definitely going back for those. They serve Calvin Fletcher coffee (a coffee roaster/shop in downtown Indy) and that was nice to see local supporting local! My drink was warm, smooth and perfect for the extremely cold day.

    In the central part of Columbus, I found this shop on the northwest corner of 25th and Home Ave…read more Tasty varieties of coated popcorn can be purchased in several sizes of sealed bags as well as a few of the more popular types which can be bagged from the counter. I recommend entering the parking area on the back of the building off Home Ave for convenience. I missed it and had to use the neighboring businesses lot along 25th to do a quick run in. Inside, there are several display racks, each featuring three types of popcorn in the various sizes. I also noticed that they do party arrangements. I was greeted and the employee shared some information about their ingredients origination (all central Indiana) and about their programs. I picked up three kinds and they were delicious. I liked that there was room to move around the shop without feeling crowded. However, I didn't see as many flavor options as some of the other popcorn shops in central Indiana, particularly their closest competitor in Edinburgh's "Not Just Popcorn" (located in downtown Edinburgh, not the outlet mall.) Still, the items I purchased were good and if you are in the area, they have a nice selection of many popular varieties. Review #3536

    You know I am a big Garretts popcorn fan! Always will be. But this place is just about as close to…read morethem as you can get. And with Columbus being much closer then Chicago it works for me. Yes you can order online and yes you can pay shipping!! But Columbus is a nice neat town to take a day trip from Cincinnati. Prices are OUTSTANDING!! Very low for what you get. I would suggest to go online and order ahead them pick it up and immediately start eating it!! Really if you order online you can get anything you want. You yes can go and just pick up but since this is such a popular place many ore sold out. So yes go and or order online. You will enyoy.
