Last night we had 4 different BBQs to see which one all of us at our dinner like the best. MJs was first and City BBQ second. Everyone likes the tenderness of the meat and the spicy sauce the best!!!
This is an OUTSTANDING family owned business. If you haven't tried them, you are truly missing out on a magical experience. We had them cater out wedding reception, they brought their smoker. Set up, and serve 75 people. The customer service we received during our event, was second to non. We unfortunately didn't take many photos of the food because we ate it as fast as they could serve it! We had halfed chickens, Rib tips, pulled pork as the mains. The only meat that was left at the end was half a tray of chicken. For sides, we had baked Mac and cheese, loaded potato salad (which my husband states was made by God himself), and some scrumptious Cole slaw. Honestly for the price, I feel like WE cheated them. It was so good. If you have a moment to stop in and try them, you won't be disappointed.
I got brisket, 2 slabs of ribs, and chicken wings yesterday. Best bbq I have ever bought at any restaurant or anywhere else in Indy. The meat was juicy and tender and seasoned perfectly. The mild sauce was the best!!! I won’t buy my bbq anywhere else from now on
Food was incredible! It was catered to our oxford house chapter meeting! You could tell a lot of time and love went into the food! Thank you!
