    Some of the best bar b que options of any Indianapolis restaurant. Easy to find location on west 86th street. It is close to interstate 465. The staff here are fantastic and make great menu recommendations. The food is delicious and comes out quickly so you can have lunch here on a tight schedule. There is plenty of parking and the restaurant is very clean.

    We had a Party of nine. BBQ just OK. Sides pretty blah. Meal presentation was very good.Lunch time crowd very sparse which tells a tale by itself. Our server , Heather, was very very good. Watch out for refill cost. The overall opinion of our group is that this place is just okay. Don't know where they got their awards from. It seems everybody gets an award these days.

    Best BBQ in Indianapolis. Didn't see many gluten free options. Service was excellent. One day I had takeout and another I ate in. Carmen was a knowledgeable and gracious server. Food came out super fast but still high quality. Definitely try the mix BBQ sauce sweet and spicy. I will return every time I'm in town.

    Brisket Melt- was okay. The grill cheese, bread outside was perfect, wish they grilled the inside before dumping 1000 island all over it which made the inside mushy, onions were well cooked, cheese was good, but was wanting more tender brisket. Had to cut the meat to take a bite of a sandwich. I would need sharp metal teeth to get into it. Fries were good and Mac was okay. Nachos were okay. Staff was friendly and food came out reasonably quick. Everyone at my work talks about this place, will try again and get something else. Maybe will impress more.

    There was some confusion at first as to whether it not they were open. The sign said they were open until 9. It was 8:15. There was no sign of anyone. I walked into a separate room, the bar, and there was an employee there. I asked if they were still open. She said that they were, for to-go orders only. I asked about the sign saying they were open until 9. She didn't realize what time it was. Apparently, as of 8:30, they switch to to-go orders only. So she sat us. Thank goodness. The smell had my mouth watering. That was some really good barbecue. The sides were really good too. I tried the brisket and rib tips. Hubby tried the brisket and turkey. We each tried different sides. Everything was good, tasty. The prices were a little high, I thought. But not after I saw the platter of did that they brought for $20.00. I am so glad she took our orders and we had that experience.

    Showed up shortly before closing, they made us feel welcome. We tried to eat quickly and leave, but great atmosphere kept us there. Live music, 90's country. All the food was amazing, the picture is the pulled pork sandwich with collard greens and potatoes. Husband had the chicken egg rolls, and pulled pork mac and cheese. No complaints from us, looking forward to our future move to the area and enjoying this restaurant more. 😀

    Brisket was ok ribs were good. Pork was dry. Potato salad was good. Weird bread. Kinda like the Chinese buffet sweet bread with no sugar. BBQ sauce was good. I would try again.

    Work lunches are really nice when we go to Squealers! I thoroughly enjoyed the Southern Belle Salad with pulled chicken.

    Just WOW! The best dining experience I've had, possibly ever! The atmosphere was great! Everything was clean! The food was absolutely delicious! I had the sampler with smoked pulled chicken, pulled pork, tater salad, and Mac and cheese. The deep fried biscuits with apple butter were quite tasty, too! But, what hit the hardest was the STAFF! They were all very professional and knowledgeable, but the biggest deal is how friendly and nice they ALL were! Great, GREAT STAFF!!

    Ribs were not impressive. Tasted like they were cooked in an oven then sat a while before being served to me. Only really flavor came from the rub. Theses ribs are on par with any others restaurants that DON’T specialize in bbq. And it’s a little pricey.

    Really good pulled pork and brisket. Both moist, flavorful, and a good amount of smoke. Ribs were a miss, overcooked and dry. Oh, and can't forget those deep fried biscuits with apple butter Overall very happy.

    We had squealers cater our party. They did an amazing job! The food was hot and delicious and exactly what we ordered. We got the perfect amount of food for the amount of people we had. Our guests were super impressed with the food and kept asking who made it so they could visit on their own time. I would highly recommend them and we will definitely be visiting for dinner soon!

    Had a great chili burger that left me full and happy. Went during lunch and was seated immediately, served quickly, and was able to relax and eat without having to rush.

    We've been going here since they opened. Was nice to see some of the regulars. Crystal, you are first class. Nice to meet your daughter. She's as nice as you. This place will not disappoint. Nice that we have a small local BBQ joint that has kept the great staff from the beginning. BTW the food was great.

    Great BBQ! I got the pulled pork nachos, and they were fantastic! My friend got the half rack of ribs and they were more than enough for dinner. I recommend giving this place a try!

    Mostly a great experience, we got the sampler and a brisket chili burger. The sampler meats were tender and sauces were pretty good. My boyfriend thought his burger was dry and it took a while to come out..our server was amazing though and very attentive

    I love this place. I took my daughter and my whole family for her birthday celebration and it was amazing. She loved it. People was really nice with us and I really appreciate. This is for sure one of my favorite places to come and have a well deserved delicious dinner with my family. 5 stars.

    We stopped in today as we were traveling through town and we weren’t disappointed! The food was AMAZING! I wish I could remember our waitress name but she too was AMAZING! My husband never mentioned he didn’t eat pork , but she was so vigilant to what he ordered for his main course ( the pick 3) that when he went to order a side of beans she made sure to let him know they had pork in them. Should we ever come to town again we’d definitely make it a point to stop here!

    Very good barbecue for Indianapolis. Chicken wings and turkey breast were amazing. The pulled pork was tender but I should have ordered the sauce on the side because it overpowered the pork. Beef brisket was very dry & we couldn’t eat it all even with sauce. Creamy and tasty mac & cheese. Collard greens had good flavor too but could use a touch of vinegar. Will visit again.

    First time visiting! Smelled great as you enter the restaurant. We sat at a table in the bar area, the bartender was very fast and friendly! I tried the three meat sampler with pulled pork, brisket, and smoked sausage. All were very tender and delicious, the sauce was very good. I got the hot sauce and it had the right amount of flavor and heat!
