The brisket at Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque is smoked low and slow for 18 hours and it shows. Perfect bark, incredible smoke ring, and melts in your mouth. Best BBQ in Indianapolis period.

Ribs at Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque fall off the bone but still have the right amount of chew. The housemade sauce is tangy and sweet. Get there early because they sell out by 2pm most days.

Tried the BBQ sampler at Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque and every meat was cooked to perfection. The pulled pork was juicy, the sausage had a great snap, and the sides are incredible. Worth the wait in Indianapolis.

Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque is our tailgate and family gathering BBQ spot in Indianapolis. They do large orders with notice and the meat is always consistent. The burnt ends are a must-order.

Competition-level BBQ at Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque. The pitmaster knows what he is doing and the results speak for themselves. The smoked turkey was surprisingly the highlight of my meal.

Good BBQ spot in Indianapolis. Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque has solid brisket and the mac and cheese side is creamy and delicious. Friendly staff and a no-frills atmosphere that fits the food perfectly.

Locals-only secret for BBQ in Indianapolis. Garrett's Smokehouse Barbeque does not advertise much but word of mouth keeps them packed. The beef ribs on weekends are extraordinary.
