    Pork tenderloin strips
    Charlotte B.

    Was seated quickly. Drink order taken right away. They had Cokes which is awesome too. Most of us will order water when we go out if Cokes are unavailable. The atmosphere was charming. Booths were very roomy but the springs in the seats need an overhaul. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful. A plate of bread and cheese was placed on the table to enjoy while we waited for our food. Both the cheese and bread were delicious. One ordered the Cowboy pulled pork served with macaroni and cheese. The sandwich was excellent as was the macaroni and cheese. Eight sauces were brought to the table so that we could choose. All were good. One ordered grilled pork loin, which was a little tough without a lot of flavor. The potatoes that came with it, was very tasty, but we were told it came with beer cheese but none was brought to the table. One order was the breaded tenderloin strips which were very good. A bowl of squash soup was also served it was far too sweet. Will eat here again if I am in the area.

    Awesome BBQ ...best fries every eaten
    Sarah R.

    This casual restaurant is famous for its various pulled meats & 6 types of BBQ sauce...but they have, hands down, the BEST french fries on earth (called Dippers) Dippers are a mix between french fries and chips with a perfect amount of salt and cheese sauce (if you are into that) The pulled pork and pulled chicken were the best meats. Brisket was darn good also...we did not try the turkey. Favorite sauces were the sweet BBQ, Mustard BBQ and Chipolte. We tried all of them on our napkin first but you really should wait to sample with the meats as the taste is so different. We were too stuffed for desert but they offeted sugar pie, chocolate key lime pie or bread pudding. One thing about service. We showed up 15 mins before closing. We knew their hours and put in our order, ate and were out of there a few minutes after closing. Our waittress let us know when the kitchen was closing but never made us feel bad...or that we should hurry.

    Excellent service!!! Waitress was on top of everything and polite!!! Good food, plenty of seating inside/outside The nachos were good but they need to melt the cheese more and put the bbq sauce on the table when the meal starts so u can put on the nachos. The bbq sauces themselves were ok. the spicy was not spicy at all. The chipotle had the more kick but again not spicy. My husband like the mustard one the best. The portions were just right and all tasted delicious! Will definitely go back!! Convenient location just 2 miles off 65 Lemonade was delicious!!! They need to see it by the gallon to go.

    Barbecue in Lebanon !!!! On a recent trip to the Lebanon area, I found myself craving Barbecue. I was staying at the Hampton Inn and was looking for a place to eat close to the hotel. I took out my trusty iPhone and started looking for local hotspots. Low and behold I found Parky's Smokehouse and decided on going there. Parky's Smokehouse is a family-owned and locally-operated destination for authentic barbecue, signature steaks, Baby Back Ribs, Pulled Pork and Chicken, Sliced Brisket, Smoked & Grilled Prime Rib, Burgers, hand-breaded Tenderloins, and Stuffed Quesadillas. With an expansive menu of house-made sauces, rubs, dressings, sides, and desserts. I got there around 4:30 just before the dinner rush. I talked to my server for a few minutes about what I should get and what Parky's is known for and we decided on the Barbecue Blast which came with a half rack of baby ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, sliced beef brisket, and turkey breast. I also chose some house-made 'slaw and their baked beans. At first, I thought to myself "how am I going to eat all this?" when my plate dropped on the table. Please note that Parky's doesn't play around when it comes to food. The portions are huge but if you love barbecue then you should be used to massive plates of meat. I enjoyed every single meat that I tried, all were nicely rubbed, smoked and/or spiced, and I was able to try all six of Parky's Home-Made sauces. I even picked up some t-shirts and sauce on my way out. I have to say, I somehow managed to wolf down all of that Barbecue. Everything on my plate from the fall-off-the-bone tender ribs to the smoked turkey was a hit. The meal, the choices and the sauces were all amazing. I had a great dining experience and the meal with a couple of beers was reasonably priced. Overall a great meal. If you're ever in Lebanon, give Parky's a shot, you won't be disappointed!!

    Two meat plate (pulled pork and brisket) with a side of mac&cheese and Dippers & Beer Cheese
    Sheller K.

    After a very busy week, I woke up this morning and realized I hadn't eaten at all yesterday. You know you're busy when you forget to eat! On my way home with my stomach screaming for food, I spotted Parky's and entered about 1:30. I didn't realize they are only open until 2:00, so I quickly ordered the two meat plate. Brisket and pulled pork. They were both delicious! Cooked perfectly. The meat was a little bland, but that's what the BBQ sauce is for, right? I tried the spicy and spicy chipotle, but my favorite is the mustard. The nice server was surprised I liked it-she said it's her favorite but it's not too popular. I love the tangy taste! The sides I got were Mac and cheese and the potato dippers with beer cheese. Both outstanding choices. I didn't know what to expect from the potatoes, but they were SO GOOD! I highly recommend! The food and service were both great, and I will have two more meals out of the leftovers.

    Parky's Classic Pulled Pork Sandwich with Dipper Fries and a pickle
    Amy W.

    My husband and I have been to Parky's Smokehouse a few times and their food is consistently very good. I ordered the Classic Pulled Pork Sandwich with Dipper Fries and my husband had the Cowboy With Dipper Fries. Our sandwiches and fries were excellent and we would definitely recommend these items. We also had six different sauces to choose from and we both picked the Sweet barbecue sauce for our sandwiches. Our service was fast and Leah did a nice job.

    Ribs, brisket, chicken, Mac and cheese and bbq beans

    I have no idea why this place claims to be a "Smoke House". It was one of my worst bbq meals ever. I got the 3 meat combo $35. Ribs, brisket and chicken. Everything was over cooked and dried out. And you would think paying $35 for a plate it would include bread? NOPE! That's an additional $2. Nothing had the flavor of smoke. The only way to get flavor on anything was to add a sauce. The Mac and cheese noodles were over cooked and tough and the flavor was just melted cheap cheese and milk. No spices or nothing for flavor. The bbq beans were decent and the best thing of the over priced meal. But the sides are very small. First time here and never coming back.

    Wedge salad ... no bacon or tomatoes?
    PJ S.

    I really wanted to like Parky's but I couldn't quite get there. First of all, lets be clear, this is a family friendly steakhouse. You should not try and compare it to St Elmos in downtown Indy. Thats not what it is or tries to be. And that's fine. But even comparing it to an Outback Steakhouse it just comes up a little short. I ordered a wedge salad for starters which was simply iceberg lettuce with Blue cheese dressing a crumbles. Where's the bacon and tomatoes? That's pretty standard for a wedge salad. For the entree I got a basic flat iron steak and half rack of ribs., The steak was cooked the way I asked albeit without much seasoning....and the baked potato was A-OK. The ribs came with some sort of rub that was mild to the point of being almost tasteless. I didn't hate anything - but didn't really like much either. The baked potato was probably the star of the meal and thats not a compliment. Service was friendly and prompt. But the food is simply mediocre. Sorry, Parky's! I wish your food was as good as your staff !

Four types of house made sauce are on each table. Habanero bourbon sauce is spicy, sweet and was my favorite of their four sauces. I normally love Carolina sauce, but their Carolina sauce tasted overly mustard to me. Parking is tight, especially on Fridays at lunch.

She also did not provide us with utensils/napkins, as my wife requested them from the bar after our meals arrived, nor plates for our shared appetizer items. The food was very good, for the most part, as we continue to enjoy their Baked White Bean Hummus ($14) and the Greek Goddess Salad ($17) is excellent. I also do like their Fries ($3.50), as they are seasoned well with a nice exterior crunch, although it seemed like we had been given the bottom of the basket as a good bit of our order was crumbs. Drinks were OK. My wife wishes they offered a dry cider option, but their A&E Fleeting Youth ($7) consistently tends to be the closest to that offering. While I realize it's summer, I prefer porters and stouts that are on the sweeter side as opposed to coffee-esque. But the only option was their Into the Void, which I thought leaned into a coffee flavor, so I chose their King of Troy ($6.50), which was a decent lager. So I continue at 4 stars, in hopes our next visit will have service with a bit more awareness, fries from the top of the basket, and some of their other beer options that hit the spot in the past.
