MJ's Backyard BBQ and Catering

I only had the chicken. It was cooked well. The sauce was sweet but had a touch of spice to it.My husband said he would give this place a 4 out of 5 stars.Said the beans were not too sweet and the macncheese was ok.Sorry I don't have much else to say. Husband just went here and brought me something because our preferred place was closed today

Do you want to host Thanksgiving every year? Because this is how you end up hosting Thanksgiving every year.A few years ago, due to the passing of our grandmother, my family needed a place for Thanksgiving. So we offered to host. I got a smoked Turkey from MJ's. It was amazing! People were literally fighting over who got to take the leftovers home. Last year everyone asked if I would do it again, so of course I gladly did. Same awesome turkey, same fighting for leftovers.This year, in September, I already have people asking if I'm getting the turkey, and our house is now the designated Thanksgiving host.The pricing is really reasonable, especially for the quality of the food and how good it tastes. If you aren't getting a smoked turkey, you are really missing out.I eat here for lunch when I can as well. These guys are always friendly and will go out of their way to make you happy. I typically get the beef brisket with the spicy BBQ sauce and mac n cheese. The worst part is smelling it the whole way back to the office, knowing that there is no way you can eat it while driving.

We had the brisket, baby back ribs and rib tips and all items were great. went with the medium sauce, just right. The service was great and this will now be my go to bbq on the east side of Indy.

Met the owner who said everything was cooked from scratch so had to try. Easily the best ribs we've had since moving to Indianapolis and the sauce was delicious too. Everything was great but those two things stood out. Can't wait to go back for more! Also price and portions were spot on.
