    Went for tenderloin Tuesday for to go order. Great customer service, friendly, fast service. Got order wrong, and had no problems correcting it. Will definitely be back.

    Barbecue and Bourbon is excellent. One of my favorite spots in Speedway. If your a bourbon person, you won’t be disappointed. The Bourbon list is huge and offers great choices and variety. The food was excellent. From the catfish nuggets to the brisket and everything in between. It’s relatively small and not many TVs so not necessarily great for larger groups or watching a game, but the bar is a decent size and service is great. Excellent spot for lunch or dinner. I’ll definitely be back.

    We were surprised how good the meats are at this place. First night I did a 2 meat platter with brisket and ribs tips. Came with cornbread and 2 sides for $20. My brother had a pulled pork sandwich for $10. We each had bourbon or bourbon drinks. Second night we saw Mickey, our hostess again, she's a great ambassador for this place. We came back in part because she told us Tuesdays they offer all you can eat rib tips (see photo) with cornbread and sides for just $15. My brother and I both dove into the rib tips. Generous first helping was just enough for each of us, but they would have brought more of we wanted. I drank beer this time of which they have a good selection both on tap and bottles. If you like BBQ you should check this place out.

    Great atmosphere, great service food was amazing. My partner said the cornbread was the best she'd ever tasted. The baked beans were sweet and delicious. The shots of bourbon were generous but I didn't find many bourbons I hadn't heard of. Although, I have heard of quite a few. Breckenridge is one I hadn't had before. The meat was gorgeous and there were a selection of sauces to create your own essentially. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

    Great place for BBQ and bourbon! Great prices, good food, and great drink prices! Can't beat the devour Indy deal...$35 for 2! Appetizer, 4 meats, 4 sides, jalapeño cornbread and desert ...yum! Their dirty lemonade is delicious and dangerous at only $4.

    This is some pretty good food. Service was quick and friendly. Small, but decent craft beer selection. Got the pulled pork sandwich. Good meat, not much smoke flavor, but it was tender and not dried out. Came with a side of chips, which were served warm, and the bun was toasted. It's nice to see those little things.....that little extra effort can really elevate a meal. But for me, the real star was the habanero onions. Basically, as far as I can tell, just pickled onions with a little habanero in the brine. Adds a nice little spicy kick without overdoing it. I am definitely looking forward to returning!

    Went for Devour Indy and was able to get an appetizer, 4 meats, 4 sides, and a dessert for $35. We got fried mushrooms, catfish, brisket, pulled pork, rib tips, baked beans, corn, mac and cheese, and fried biscuits for dessert. Everything was delicious, and they had live music. I didn't drink when I went but it looked like a very nice bar also.

    I just tried this place for the first time - no regrets! The food was good, although the brisket was dry. The catfish nuggets were - literally - the best catfish I've had, ever (grilled, cajun). The atmosphere is cozy and unique. And the service was great: everyone was friendly and helpful. I'll be back, more than once.

    My friend and I really enjoyed our food, drinks and visit to Barbecue and Bourbon. Friendly folks rounded out our time there. Their sauces are very tasty and I recommend the Fiesta Corn, rib tips, brisket and catfish. Had a "country time" lemonade drink that was very refreshing. Would stop here again when I'm the area. Thanks!

    We went when it was devour in D time it was $35 for an appetizer 4 meats 4 sides and desseit was an amazing deal to say the least we got pulled pork 2 servings smoked sausage and rib tips all were delicious the pulled pork I would say was my favorite.. we have the pretzel cheese Beer appetizer which was very very good I recommend that. Their sauces were very good. They then we got the mac and cheese green beans coleslaw and fries. the mac and cheese although it was nothing to write home about was good enough.. the coleslaw was a vinaigrette which was quite honestly very unique and actually quite good. It reminded me of something I had in Michigan at an old Amish farm.. the fries were wrinkled fries the kind that you would get at the supermarket the green beans all do look very appetizing with ham actually did not have a lot of flavor unfortunately and we're rather disappointing almost kind of like flavorless like hospital food on the green beans. We sat on the patio and the service was very good waitress was very friendly. The price absolutely could not be be especially with the Devour Downtown going on for $35. And finally dessert we tried the strawberry cheesecake which was absolutely delicious. Also the helpings were very big so we had to take one of the cheesecakes home because we were stuff. The patio atmosphere was very nice as Main Street in Speedway has been redone excellently and it is really beautiful I recommend an evening there.

    This was a very nice place. It was small but decorated to the theme of the restaurant and was clean. Our server was fantastic, and she was knowledgeable of the offerings. The sausage, brisket, and pork were tender and full of flavor. The cabbage, onion rings, and cornbread were wonderful sides. We will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 8 months ago on Google
    Had catfish , fried cabbage , and baked beans. The fried cabbage was almost better than mines lol. Dirty lemonade is yummy BOURBON.

    I want to first start off by saying whoever was in charge of the music 🎶 has really good taste 👌 second our waiter Ashley was great she had great customer service, and I did not care for their meat, but their side dishes such as mac and cheese and fried cabbage was really good.

    Man, there isn't much to say except Marley and her staff are awesome! Best BBQ in Indy, one of the best bourbon lists in Indy and the service staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough. They also carry my favorite Indiana craft brewery, Grand Junction Brewing Company.

    right close to the Indy 500 race tracks, you’ll find this barbecue gem. i gotta say that this place has the best barbecue so far and would definitely come back for more. i wish i took better pic, but the bar was a bit dark, so i did my best. their spicy sauce! OMG! game changer! easily a 5/5 for me!

  • 5/5 Matthew S. 9 months ago on Google
    I'm not sure what else to add. The food is just fantastic for the price point. I had a rabbit hole bourbon on the recommendation of staff and liked it. The brisket and pulled pork are great. The greens are next level. The staff, all 3 of them, were kind. And a great vibe. Please visit. I'm hoping to get back a few more times before I fly out.

  • 5/5 Derek R. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been there twice and have not been disappointed both times. The brisket and the pork are the best I've had from somewhere. There selection of BBQ sauces is fantastic! If ya like spicy sauces they've got some good ones. Then they have this corn dip stuff.....that if FANTASTIC! It is really to die for. And not sure what's days (I went on a Thursday) but they have half price appetizers after 9. And the bourbon selection is huge also. Would recommend any time anyone asks for a great BBQ joint

  • 5/5 Max M. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place the food is amazing the portions are generous and everything is cooked perfectly. Wonderful selection of sauces to add to the meal.

  • 5/5 Jon W. 1 year ago on Google
    First off, the location on Main St in Speedway is perfect, they even have their own parking. But we're here for the food and it is outstanding! Get the brisket! The sauces are great, but as one regular told me, you don't need it, and he was right, but I love sauce and these are top notch. The sides are delicious and generous, the bartenders know their stuff and their bourbons, so be sure to get their suggestions, they are only too happy to help.

  • 5/5 Trey B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a late night snack, this place is open an hour later than most of the Speedway strip. Very friendly staff, good drinks, and fun culture inside with tons of decorations and race memorabilia. The BBQ is pretty good for Indy but doesn’t hold a candle to STL or KC. The outside tables are also nice on a cool day.

  • 5/5 cathy m. 2 years ago on Google
    I only have a photo of the sauce because this was some of the best barbecue I have ever had!!!! Ordered pulled pork sandwich with the fried cabbage and tangy but not sweet (my favorite kind) of homemade coleslaw. Had hoped to dine in, but my toddler fell asleep right before we arrived, so the kind staff understood and came out to my car and brought me my order! Will be back. The pulled pork was smoked to perfection and barely needed sauce. I ate every bite, as the photo shows! 12/10
