Fat Man's BBQ

Noticed a new bbq spot on my way home and decided, why not give it a try on a Friday night; the Eve of NYE. I decided to try the turkey tips, small tip dinner, smoked wings and the banana pudding for dessert. Ribs tips weren't tender enough to eat without teeth as a placard says that's on the wall. The turkey tips were very good! They were tender. Some of the best I've had in the city. The smoked wings were a bit bigger then I like, but we're pretty good. As for the sides, I was hoping to experience a wow factor; something that would set them apart from others. And unfortunately, I didn't get that from the potato salad or baked beans. Last but not least, the banana pudding was giving banana pudding! And I'm so glad that it didn't disappoint. It has the right amount of richness. It had the right amount of cookies that went with the sauce. I didn't leave any pudding behind. Ha! I would like to go back and try some of the other desserts that's on the menu.The gentleman that took my order was patient and got my order right. The counter/window was clean and not cluttered. In fact, I liked how well lit the entire area is on the inside. And did I mention how clean it was.I like the touch of having the old school arcade game while waiting. It took me down memory lane thinking of Pizza Hut, back in the day, having games in the dining area.I'm glad I was able to support a small business. For the bbq connoisseurs, stop by and give them a try. Or if you ever have a sweet tooth and want some good banana pudding, you might want to stop in and get you some to try.

This is a little hole in the wall that is easy to drive by, but if you do, you will be making a big mistake. Had some business in the area, so the wife and I dropped in last Friday for lunch. Had no plans to stop here but saw the sign and went on in. Once in, we noticed a very simply decorated BBQ 1 room dinning. Everything was clean and inviting. But most inviting was the young lady working the register. She was a complete delight. Very helpful and patient, realizing this was our first time to dine. I had the brisket dinner with mac & cheese and collard greens (second picture). You will be given a choice between sweet or hot. I automatically ask for hot, but the brisket really doesn't need any sauce-perfect just as it was. The Mac was good but real surprise star of the show was the collard greens. This I turned up and drank the "pot liqueur." Would order this as two big my sides next. Might even try to buy pint or quart. Should also be noted that the brisket is a generous portion. I am a big guy and still took half home with me. See third picture. First picture is wife's pulled chicken with sweet sauce. Could not pick it up as fillings over flowed. She loved it!Definitely will go back!

Overpriced and the beef brisket is mostly fat. My first and only time there the owner seemed disinterested in a new customer. I don't recommend.

Stopped because the name caught our eye, glad we came across this place. Unreal BBQ and very nice people. First time ever in Indianapolis, and if I ever get back there, will certainly visit again!

Really nice owners Great comfort food Really Clean It is locally Black Owned Yummy I have been 3 or 4 times so far You won't be unhappy Of course they have vegan things on the menu Enjoy

I order from here A LOT! I've had every protein and side. Today I had bbq pig feet dinner and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! DELICIOUS!! These people should spell country with a "k"- " KUNTRY, SOUL FOOD" FOR REAL! The seasoning, tenderness of the meat, freshness of the greens, smoothness of the banana pudding (A bit pricey but what isn't these days!) was Delicious! R-E-S-P-E-C-T GOES A LONG WAY! If anything is ever not what I expect it to be, THEY ALWAYS MAKE IT RIGHT! THEY ARE HUMAN. They have human employees. Mistakes may happen. I had ONE error and it was fixed in a timely manner and I was very happy with the outcome. It's locally and black-owned. The owners seem nice willing to do anything in their power to make you a happy customer that returns. I wish I knew them personally. I bet their food centric gatherings are EPIC! I'M ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN SOON!!

Still waiting on the food, but here's clean menu pictures. Also the pac man is free won't you wait

The restaurant was nice and inviting. The food quality and taste was poor. The turkey leg was dry, unseasoned and days old. They didn't even attempt to doctor up the canned baked beans or potato salad. The greens were good but the macaroni n cheese was the best restaurant mac n cheese so far. The portions were not in line with cost.They used to serve kool-aid pickle spears. Now, you get a packet of slices. Had approximately 6 slices in the packet. The quality of those have declined.I won't return though. This is way too expensive ($47) for what we received.Ordered: Turkey leg, greens, mac n cheese. Rib tips, baked beans, potato salad, kool-aid pickle and bread. They didn't even put the bread in the bag and I was charged $0.30 for that.

Ordered ribs and pulled chicken along with several sides. All of it was great, and the prices are very reasonable. They discovered that they accidentally gave us a pulled pork rather than chicken, so they threw in the chicken sandwich for free. All this was discovered by them before we arrived. Good service, good food at a fair price. Our new BBQ "go to" spot.

This was my 3rd time ordering from here and yesterday I was extremely disappointed by my meal- I ordered my usual the rib tip dinner- the tips were not the same taste they had no grill taste at all!! I could not figure out if they were old or microwaved. My potatoe salad was HOT and Watery- this was a result of being placed inside the container with the hot food. Overall I was not pleased with my food that I drove 25 minutes to get. I'm not sure if I will be returning. I loved it once but yesterday was a huge let down.
