Got back from Texas, end up stopping here. We’ve been at squealers 2 times and food was good. This time We ordered there half smoke chicken, brisket and chicken tenders for my son. The brisket is good but half chicken I didn’t like it that much.. the flavor outside is good but the inside is bland maybe if I asked for a sauce will be fine I just don’t taste the smokiness. Our waitress is good. When we came in we have to wait even though there’s a lot of table open I guess they do not have enough waitresses that time we came in. We ordered desert the chocolate cookie with ice cream on top and oh boy that was good…. After all the greasiness of the food the cookie and ice cream is a perfect dessert to get.

Best BBQ in Indianapolis. Didn't see many gluten free options. Service was excellent. One day I had takeout and another I ate in. Carmen was a knowledgeable and gracious server. Food came out super fast but still high quality. Definitely try the mix BBQ sauce sweet and spicy. I will return every time I'm in town.

Really good pulled pork and brisket. Both moist, flavorful, and a good amount of smoke. Ribs were a miss, overcooked and dry. Oh, and can't forget those deep fried biscuits with apple butter Overall very happy.

Had a great chili burger that left me full and happy. Went during lunch and was seated immediately, served quickly, and was able to relax and eat without having to rush.

Great BBQ! I got the pulled pork nachos, and they were fantastic! My friend got the half rack of ribs and they were more than enough for dinner. I recommend giving this place a try!

Ribs were not impressive. Tasted like they were cooked in an oven then sat a while before being served to me. Only really flavor came from the rub. Theses ribs are on par with any others restaurants that DON’T specialize in bbq. And it’s a little pricey.

Compared to good Texas barbecue (Salt Lick, my favorite la Barbecue, or even a chain: Rudy's), Squealers serves utterly disappointing barbecue. Trust me, the 5 star reviewers are wrong. They have no baseline for "good" barbecue before posting incorrect, inflated, uninformed reviews. If you have a Traeger or any pellet smoker, you can make much, much, much better barbecue than Squealers. Were the tables disinfected between guests, did staff wash their hands, was contactless payment available, can a vegetarian eat here, free wifi, gluten free.... who cares... the food is mediocre at best.

Brisket Melt- was okay. The grill cheese, bread outside was perfect, wish they grilled the inside before dumping 1000 island all over it which made the inside mushy, onions were well cooked, cheese was good, but was wanting more tender brisket. Had to cut the meat to take a bite of a sandwich. I would need sharp metal teeth to get into it. Fries were good and Mac was okay. Nachos were okay. Staff was friendly and food came out reasonably quick. Everyone at my work talks about this place, will try again and get something else. Maybe will impress more.

Got the baby back ribs and one of the best I've ever had great service everyone is very nice and friendly! Their sauces have so many flavors in one. Its a 10 out of 10 for me! will definitely be going back!

Brisket was ok ribs were good. Pork was dry. Potato salad was good. Weird bread. Kinda like the Chinese buffet sweet bread with no sugar. BBQ sauce was good. I would try again.
