    Great food. Great atmosphere. Nearby. It's hard to make a small town restaurant thrive but the owners seem to be doing it well.

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.

Even holding your breath, you won't be able to stomach drinking it and it will ruin the entire dining experience. Next, A+ for the Ambiance. You can't do better than the beautiful views of Heritage Lake. Especially when it is nice enough to eat outside. If you live around the area, most likely you will see someone you know and it is nice to have the local hangout. The prices aren't great, but they aren't high end expensive. They have specials and happy hour so you can save money. The portions are large so many people will likely have leftovers. On the visit today, our food was just so-so. We've had visits when the food was really good and days when the orders were mixed up, but usually it's ok or better. Mostly if you stick with the specials you're good. Today one of us got the fish and chips special, and the other got a smash burger and coleslaw. My food tasted ok but it looked on the burned side or like the grease needed changed. My husband said the coleslaw was super dry like it was shredded cabbage. He did like my fried which I shared. They were actually the favorite of the meal. I didn't eat the bun on the sandwich but it looked like it would have tasted good, maybe like a hint of garlic bread. I just don't usually eat bread on fish. Anyway, food was just ok for the 45.00 price tag for two lunches, two waters. I believe they have lunch specials or lunch prices, versus dinner prices on some things. Again, if you're at the lake and are looking for ambiance, this is the place. Stick with a burger, fries and soda or beer or one of the specials. Stay away from the water.

There is a Barney entrance for those over twenty one and also a family entrance. My son and I stopped in around 12:30 and there was one family eating in the family side where there are two poll tables available for play. The sign said seat yourself, but since we were getting carry out to take to my other son then we walked past the foosball table and kitchen and went into the bar area. The bar tender was friendly and offered us a menu to order from. There were possibly five other diners in the bar area and it was a very quiet atmosphere. I ordered the Wallychanga,which is a deep fried tortilla filled with pulled pork and Mac & cheese then topped with melted cheese sour cream and Bbq sauce.I also ordered the banana pudding which I was told comes in a huge cereal sized bowl, however, the bartender was told they were out so she refunded my money. I'll need to make another trip to try the pudding. While we waited we played foosball. The menu has so many yummy looking things and when my youngest got his food delivered then he said his triple straight up smash burger was the best he's ever tasted! My Wallychanga was so good l, but it was so filling I wasn't able to finish it all and actually could have spilt it with someone. We will be sure to plan a day trip to return!

Just wish the place was a little cleaner as we went to seat ourselves and all the group high-tops were dirty. We ended up wiping down the tables ourselves. I didn't see that they had any specific staff for cleaning the tables, but since the ketchup bottle was empty, I can tell those tables had been neglected for a while. I thought my burger was decent, but the fries were excellent. I would come again and try something else next time.

We got pulled pork, sausage, and brisket. It came with two sides. We got the green beans and pasta salad. It was $28.75. Your meal comes with free cheddar garlic biscuits with a side of apple butter. The pulled pork with some of the best we have ever had. The brisket was good as well, flavored nicely. We received three large pieces, however, there was quite a bit of fat on the pieces. We received two sausage links. The sausage was slightly spicy, which we like. However, of the three meats it was our least favorite. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended the green beans. Her description of them was right on target and they were very good. Service was very fast and our bill was accurate.

Brad is also the Advance Town Marshal. The menu offers bbq, burgers, tenderloins and chicken sandwiches. There are no prices on the chalk board menu, our sandwiches ran $10-$11. You order at a small counter in the rear of the dining room. Addi took our order and we took a seat. Assorted sodas and cold salads can be selected as you order. Addi brought our food to our table after 15 minutes and told us we're to find sauces. I had the bbq pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich is packed with a heaping portion of tender, juicy pork on a deli roll. The sandwich was a solid 5. The fries were ok. My husband had the breaded tenderloin, which was most likely prepared from a frozen patty. The sandwich was good, but not great. (Always order the bbq in a bbq place.) Seating is on wooden benches at trendy handmade tables. Also, an outside area has several umbrella covered. There is a small private parking lot and plenty of street parking. They are opened seven days a week but only for lunch. They do not serve alcohol.

The chicken was the smokey-est chicken I've ever had, not dry at all, filled with flavor. The mashed potatoes, green beans, chicken noodles and cheesy potato's were all 10/10, packed with flavor. The pulled pork was juicy. I can't say enough about how amazing this food was. I live 40min away but will absolutely make the drive to have this again. If you're nearby and looking for some legit BBQ, this is the place to go.

Their cute little restaurant is across from the post office. I wanted a sandwich to go and they had $13 lunch specials that included a selection of sandwiches, a side and drink. I selected the brisket sandwich with spicy bbq sauce, cole slaw and I grabbed a unsweetened ice tea. The clerk was friendly and I had a short wait. The dining room is neat and tidy with old photos of Martinsville and subtle pig decor. Outside is a really nice covered patio where pets are welcome. My food came out quickly in a paper bag with my name on it. The BBQ brisket was phenomenal. The sandwich had several generous slices of thick brisket with slightly burnt ends, but moist and tender inside. The meat melted into the bun, which was soft and fresh. This was the best bbq sandwich I'd had in a long time. The spicy sauce, came on the side, was really delicious, too. The cole slaw is prepared in-house, finely chopped with a sweet vinegar dressing. It was crunchy and good, and a I've portion. Easy 5 star lunch. Free street parking. I'd stop by every time I'd mail a letter if I lived here. And I'd mail a lot of letters.
