Then we first smelled and spotted the smoker and figured out how to get around to the entrance. It's in a big warehousey type building and everything looks brand new inside. I had the brisket sandwich. So tender and loaded with meat. The loaded potato salad was really nice. I think it had pulled pork in it, something smokey, but not bacon. My friend had the brisket nachos. She got the half order and barely made a dent in it. Service was very fast and it's right off the interstate.

We waited maybe 10 minutes for a table on a Sunday afternoon. The service from everyone team member was friendly and prompt. The menu is extensive. We tried the catfish bites with a homemade dill forward tartar sauce and the fried green tomatoes with a spicy remoulade. They offer brunch on the weekends. We had pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. For the more savory palates, we ordered a burger, the ribeye, and the Capone. The burger was thick and juicy, the bun held up to all of the toppings. The ribeye sandwich is a full steak on a hoagie roll. The Boursin cheese made this a little too rich for me but an amazing sandwich nonetheless. The Capone is a burger interpretation of a parmigiana sandwich. Rich marinara, mozzarella cheese and grilled onions and mushrooms made for an amazing meal. We had a wonderful time. We plan to stop in again soon

The bar is very large so that's great. The tables in the back can be adjusted for large parties but the space next to them doesn't make it comfortable. The servers are quick and stay organized with their tables. I think the food is okay but it will always come out hot! I wish they would add more seasonings to their meals and perhaps more weekly specials.

I don't know what other issues people had with service but everyone was super nice and helpful. And walked me thru the menu. Got the smoke wings with garlic parm on side. I would vote 7/10. Great flavor withoutsauce but a "little" dry. If we are being picky vs others I've tried. But again, I would 100% get them again. Garlic parm sauce was great to dip them in. The star of the meal? The smoked pastrami 20/10. . Hands down.. amazing. It's an extremely close second to Green Street bbq in Chicago. I got their regular bbq sauce (Carolina red) on the side. It's called Carolina but no vinegar. Which I'm ok with. What great sweat bbq sauce. Totally unique. Would be amazing on chicken or pulled pork. I'm now a huge fan of this place. Can't wait to try rest of menu and Brisket Mac n cheese!

I stop by Carrol Lou's all the time. Food is good and you get a lot. I stopped today to get lunch…read more They were busy with a line waiting to order. I stepped to the back of the line to wait my turn. The young lady taking orders took five people's orders ahead of me. I stepped up to order and she stepped away to start helping the two people fixing the food. Now I was the last one in the line when she stepped away. Why she just did not take my order and then step away I doing not know. I stood there for a long time then gave up and left. I ran in to the owner outside and told him about it. He just blew me off and called me Buddy. The owners have been arrogant in the past for no reason. I am aways nice and respectful. This restaurant's business is good now but treating good customers like this will hurt your business in the long run. I will never eat there again.

FOTB is more soul food than BBQ...and that's a good thing. In fact, BBQ is limited to pulled pork…read moreand ribs. But, a selection of wings, jerk chicken, turkey and fish (catfish and walleye) round out the main dishes. Add to that a variety of sides: greens, beans, cornbread, coleslaw, dirty rice, steamed cabbage, mac and cheese, potato salad, and more. My lunch plate was pulled pork with two sides: greens and creamy coleslaw. All three were generous portions. There's a smoker behind the restaurant so evidently FOTB smokes its own meats. However, the sandwich lacked smoky taste, or maybe it was covered by the sweet sauce. "Creamy" defines the coleslaw, almost to being too creamy. Still tasty, though. The greens, though, were awesome. Spiked with turkey and bits of garlic they also had a slight pepper kick. Friendly staff at FOTB. Counter service with plenty of indoor seating.

And the old carpet just holds that smell. The restaurant was on the expensive side. The lunch specials started at $14.50. The cheapest sandwich was $15.99 and comes with one side. They offered a salad bar for $16.99 The hot bar was $18.79. Kids meals were all $9.99. I went with the hot bar because it had fried chicken on it. There were 4 different soups to choose from and all of the normal salad bar items. The pickled beets were really good. The skin of the fried chicken was soft from being in the steam table. Nothing crunchy left. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on a few times. Lunch for 3 adults and a kid was $70 plus tip.

Flaky with buttery caper sauce was rich and creamy over a bed of rice. My side was the salad bar which can hold its own as a meal all by itself. My husband ordered their famous 1lb pork chop. The mash was creamy and the Caesar salad side were good. Credit where credit is due.... The chop was cooked to temp however with the size and even with the red sauce it's basted with, my husband reported it a bit dry but he definitely enjoyed the process of eating it. The service as fine and we enjoyed the experience. We will definitely return next time we travel that way and try more on the menu

Food was pretty good but not anything super special. The pulled pork was pretty dry. I wish it had more of the juices on it to sink into the buns. The mac and cheese was good. Pretty comparable to stoffers Mac and cheese which I like. The jalepeno poppers were good. I just thought the jalepenos were so think that it was hard to take a clean bite out of it. The Hillybilly Deluxe was our favorite. It was a special that night. It was mash potatoes, Mac and cheese and pulled pork stacked on top of eachother. If you are nearby, I think it would be somewhere good to eat but don't think it's worth the drive from Terre Haute. Overall service was good and nice. There was one girl working there who wasn't the nicest at one time. It is a pretty small place with a hometown feel.
