Millennials and Gen Z may adapt quickly, but older generations often struggle. Our parents took almost 15 minutes just to figure out how to access the menu. As a result of the lack of servers and printed menus, we had to place our orders individually, leading to a one-hour gap between the first and last meals being served. The food itself is mediocre at best. If you want a drink, you must order it through the QR code, and sometimes those requests are overlooked. If you're looking for a beer not listed on the QR menu, you have to go to the bar yourself to order it. Additionally, when you place an order for food or drinks, a default tip of 25% is automatically added for the servers, even though their role is primarily to deliver the food from the kitchen. It’s hard to justify why they warrant a higher tip when they don’t provide traditional service. Getting the drinks you order, unless they’re beer from the bar and included with your food, is also a challenge. This was our first and last visit. I plan to tell others to steer clear of this place. The QR menu system without servers sends a clear message that the establishment cares more about profits than about the experience of its customers and employees. Plus, the food is overpriced, which you might have already guessed by now. I usually refrain from writing negative reviews, but this experience was simply disappointing.

Can't speak to the service or atmosphere but assumedly the staff are underpaid, understaffed and doing their best.

Everyone was very pleased with their meals and we all gladly did taste tests of the different items across the table! I got a kids pulled pork with a side of baked beans. The classic sauce we our favorite. Dad raved about the chili and mom loved the Mac n cheese cornbread. I was so excited about the seasonal deviled eggs. The $5 bucket of fries is enough to share with a group of 4. We loved the atmosphere, staff were friendly, service was fast and will definitely be coming back.

The food was amazing! I think this is the best bbq in Indy. We had the wings and they were super juicy inside, and crispy outside. The brisket was moist and delicious, and the ribs were just the way I like them. We also enjoyed the mustard sauce, so give that a try too ;
