If you have not stopped in and grabbed an order of ribs yet, what's stopping you? I decided to finally stop in on a Friday evening to try Indy's popular BBQ hub, to my surprise the staff was very friendly and the wait was quick! The interior set up reminded me of Chicago, small but you get to smell the deliciousness cooking in the kitchen! I had an order of the rib tips, macaroni and greens - I didn't care for the cornbread that it came with but everything else was delicious! I was surprised to see individual size bags of Grippos, so I had to take two!
Amazing ribs, rib tips, and corn on the cob. Significantly better than Eli's BBQ in Cinci and Bogart's in Saint Louis. Right here in Indy. Wow. Other sides are really good - including the greens and macaroni salad.
So here's the thing...I really want to give BBQ Heaven a 3.5 and here's why. First let me say Bar-B-Q Heaven is a mainstay of the black community. It is a legend and I appreciate the family keeping their spot within the black neighborhoods despite its growth. So here's my take on the food though... Our order was rib tips with large side of green beans, corn, a large mac and cheese with cheesecake and chess pie for dessert. The rib tips were good but a bit fatty and short on the meat. The pieces that was meaty was good and the sauce (a mix of sweet and hot) was excellent. The mac and cheese was cheesy but bland. A couple cranks of salt and pepper and a healthy dose of hot sauce pumped it up to acceptable level. The green beans were cooked in meat but it was still bland. Once again salt and pepper with a couple dashes of hot sauce made it acceptable for consumption. Finally the desserts were awesome. The service for being a wet cold rainy Friday night was awesome. The ladies were super nice and I got my food quickly. I will still be back...this time I'll try the ribs!
I use to be a frequent visitor.. but slowed ALL the way down. I just eat the turkey ribs from here! They're always so nice and tender when they're in! They're definitely a HOT seller. I was just glad to catch them while they were available.
