No. 423 Smokehouse

Love their smoked quarter white chicken - so tender and delicious. I can't have barbeque sauce but this smoked chicken doesn't need it. Sweet potato casserole is very delicious. Great service and friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

My friend and I was looking around for food after a round of disc golf at Pride's Creek. There isn't a lot to choose from in Petersburg and for some reason, searching Yelp only turns up 6 results. This BBQ joint does not show up in any of them so I found No. 423 by Google.First of all, this was a pleasant surprise because my buddy and I didn't have high hopes for it.The restaurant was very clean and the service was great.We started off with an appetizer and chose the onion straws with pulled pork and cheese. The pulled pork was ok and it was mixed with sauce and the onion straws were tasty. Nothing special though.I picked a combo plate with brisket and ribs and chose baked potato salad and cornbread salad. They were out of sweet potato casserole which I picked over cornbread salad. They upcharged for all of this though. They had a choices but brisket and ribs cost more and sides besides beans, slaw, and American potato salad cost more.The brisket was better than the ribs. I was surprised how good the brisket actually was. They got it down with the tenderness and good mix of fat. The ribs were big, meaty and wet but not as good as the brisket.They did give a good size portion for meat but the sides had small portions. I think I ate both sides in four bites.The most impressive thing about No. 423 though were their homemade sauces. Their homemade ranch was zesty. There was a creamy horseradish. The BBQ was a sweet ketchup base and then there was a housemade hot sauce. The hot sauce was a thicker Crystal and I liked mixing it with the BBQ sauce.Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet.Overall, a pretty good place to eat in Petersburg. The sauces are housemade and terrific. The brisket is better than average and the ribs are pretty good. The two things I hate though are so many things having upcharges on a combo plate and the portions of the sides being small. I would eat here again though.

If you find yourself in Petersburg, in Southern Indiana, and you like BBQ, you'll love this place. Friendly folks all around! I love the pulled pork barbecue, and brisket as main courses. Their baked potato salad was the best I've ever had in my opinion.... couldn't get enough of that, and am so glad my server recommended it (I always ask for their personal favorites) It's just a basic hometown feel and the good food is only surpassed by the friendly staff.

I had the pulled pork and onion straws. My husband had the brisket. All of the food was great. They are short staffed and they were very busy, but handled the crowd well. I've had the ribs before and they were also very good!

Since we could not go kayaking this evening due to the weather my family decided to have a night out. I had the pit roasted white meat chicken. I would have to say I loved every bite. The service was great and fast. The wAitress never let our drinks go empty. Would highly recommend stopping in for a meal.

Stopped by before my eye appointment. I have been to many BBQ shacks in the US and I was very impressed. Service.. great... food was excellent. I had the Brawt and dirty Diane sand which.

This place is amazing. Everything we had was just really good! Cheese cubes and BBQ covered fries were delicious. I had the brisket and it was on point! The little wifey had pulled chicken and it was awesome as well.

Veggie Pizza is delicious. Wait staff is friendly and fast. It is worth the drive from Vincennes.

We stopped here on our way back to Texas. The food was quite good and it was reasonably priced. We would eat here again! Plus, our waitress, Tara, was very sweet!

Brisket was ok. Seemed to be a little overcooked and dry. Guess reheating it dries it out too much. Only good thing about it was the thin layer of fat on it. Otherwise I'd probably have to take a drink of tea to get it down. Fries were horrible. Weren't even luke warm. It's like they were fix in the oven and sat for quite a while before they were served. The roll was cold also. Couldn't eat the fries or roll.
