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.

Terrible customer service. Had a few questions & all 3 workers kept their head's down. Had to repeat myself 4 times for an answer.

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 popped in here with my kiddo after school day to pick up some food for dinner. I hadn't checked the menu beforehand, so we made a snap decision and ordered some mac n cheese, a smoked half chicken, a chicken BBQ sandwich, and a tiny sweet potato pie. The food was out within 3 minutes, and the order was perfect for our family of 4. We were offered a few sauce options, and because I was feeding kiddos I opted for sweet sauce -- next time I'll make a different choice because it was sweet. The BBQ sandwich was amazing, and memorable. We'll get that again! The mac n cheese was on point. Creamy and made with the real stuff, not the can of cheez whiz from GFS. The smoked chicken was okay, and I'd like to order it again with a different sauce. I wish it was a bit crispier, but I think thats the nature of smoked meat versus grilled or fried. And...the pie...holy cow it was good. It was a real crust in a real tiny little pie pan, so my kiddos loved the fact that I was able to cut them a tiny quarter of pie (which was like 2 bites, but so cute!).I'm already planning my next visit, which is a good sign...and this time I think it'll involve chicken with a different sauce, some greens or green beans, and possibly another pie. ;)

When a business has been in the same location and open since 1952 you know they've been doing something right. Ronald Jones, Barb-B-Q Heaven President, spent his youth learning the business and in 1975 purchased the business from his parents. Now with a career of almost 65 years, he's still providing excellent customer service and wonderful smokey meats, delicious sides and desserts to all who walk through his door.Ribs, rib tips, chicken, pulled pork, BBQ turkey ribs, greens (Thurs. - Sat. ONLY), mac & cheese, green beans, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad, sweet potato pie and peach crisp are a few of the highlights. The meat is tender with a nice smokey flavor and the meat can be dressed with sauce or on the side. If you have far to drive, I recommend sauce on the side so the sandwich bun doesn't get soggy. Both my son and I had the delicious pulled pork sandwich with mac & cheese, green beans and baked beans. All the sides are good but the green beans were exceptional today. The tender pulled pork was wonderful with the hot sauce. The sauces have a tendency to be on the sweet side but the hot sauce isn't quite as sweet. Several folks mix half hot and half mild. The interior has a small footprint with carryout only. The menu board is located on the wall across from the counter where you order. One person takes the orders while another person prepares the orders. They move quickly, be prepared and your order is ready in no time. You pay at the counter and they accept debit and credit cards. The building is starting to show signs of age but don't let the building, or neighborhood, keep you away. We experienced great service and wonderful food with easy street parking.

Food was Delicious. Customer Service was Terrible. Stopped in on 4/10/2024 around 8:45pm and observed customers ahead of me being treated rudely. There is No excuse for this but I chalked it up as maybe a bad Moment but I experienced the same Rude and dismissive Treatment when it was My turn as well. This was the Location on MLK.

I was so disappointed. I purchased a bbq pork on bun with sweet sauce. The meat and buns were dry but the sauce was good. I also purchased baked beans which were straight out the can mixed with BBQ sauce along with Mac and cheese that had been watered down probably for stretch. I had not been to BBQ Heaven in years and I won't be going back.
