Customer Reviews

These are some of the best tasting ribs that I've had here in Indiana. The mac n cheese I'd a great side choice. Lots of options of the menu and very friendly staff. Highly recommend trying this place if you've never been.

Myself and a few coworkers came in a few weeks ago, and were instantly sold! The brisket is tender and never disappoints! I have never been a big fan of green beans until trying them here.So delicious! I have been back multiple times in the last few weeks, and I will recommend it to anyone that will listen!

My family and I tried Smokin' Barrel BBQ for the first time today. We tried the pulled pork dinner and the brisket tacos. OMG!!! The pulled pork was very tender and flavorful. The green beans were the best green beans we have ever had at a BBQ restaurant and the mac n cheese was creamy. The brisket tacos was a very nice surprise. The smoked brisket was tender, juicy and very flavorful. You get a lot of brisket on the taco. We will be going back!

If you haven't had the brisket from this place, then you're truly missing out! The BBQ they bring is phenomenal!! The sides are scratch made deliciousness, and the sauces are hands down better than the rest. Definitely a go-to every weekend!
