Mannnn. First of all, I pulled up on the lot and line was wrapped around the corner and I was a little nervous as to how long the wait would be. I was visiting from out of town and already looked up the menu from a list of black-owned restaurants in Indianapolis. I called in and the phone was answered on the 2nd ring. I ordered my two entrees and he asked, "How long will it take you to get here?" I replied that I was already on the lot and he said to come on in. So I parked and went inside and gave my order name. As I paid, they wrapped each order in saran wrap and provided individually packaged bread. I was back in my car hitting reverse within 5 mins of my call. The food. The mild sauce was just the right amount of sweet and smoky. The meat was seasoned and tender. Mac N cheese, baked beans, and potato salad all on point. We strongly considered stopping again on way out of town lol, and the fact that we still had tips left over from the day before was the only reason we didn't. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

I seriously can’t tell you how much I missed having this place just down the street from where I worked. The rib tips are so good and you can taste the smoked flavor and the bark is amazing and so juicy on the inside. I like it with the sauce on but my other half likes it with the sauce on the side to get more of the smoked flavor. Baked beans are great. They have peppers in them and it gives them a unique goodness. The macaroni and cheese is baked. You can tell it’s legit and not from a box. (drool) The have greens on the weekends which is one of my favorite things because I’m the only one that eats them and it comes with little cornbread muffins. We live far away so I had to get some sauce to-go! They even mix the hot and mild for you!! Come on how awesome is that! Although, it can’t go unsaid that the staff is AWESOME and so friendly and personable!! If you’ve never been go and if you have been go back.

I was told that King Ribs is the best in town if I wanted some barbecue while In Indy for work. I pulled around to that drive-thru and saw actual grills and smokers outside and a grill master on deck showcasing his talents, and I was instantly sold! A lot of these places that sell barbecue don’t have a grill in sight! That was very refreshing and me being a caterer myself who specializes in barbecue, that was that authenticity I was looking for. I got the rib tip dinner with baked beans, macaroni and cheese and potato salad. The baked beans are amazing! The Mac and potato could use some tweaking, but also tasty as is. The rib tips and sauce was 🔥🔥🔥 and the ribs are seasoned perfectly. I took away a star because I asked and paid for a cup of the hot barbecue sauce, and it wasn’t in the bag when I got back to the hotel. Other than that, King Ribs is official!!

King Ribs Y'all! King Ribs, Y'all! Yes I said it twice. Uhm mmm. King Ribs is a well organized machine of BBQ deliciousness. They stacked all four of our party's order on our one tray, and it made sense very easily who ordered what. The price was reasonable for the meal I got. The Ribs n Chicken dinner gives you two sides and a choice of cornbread or roll. Have fun picking your sides. If you are slightly undecided because there are so many good choices, just add them to your ticket. It's a lot easier to make two small meals on your plate rather than wonder what you missed and have to go through that long line a second time. I've only been one time( what's wrong with me? What took so long???) This straight collard type girl is willing to recommend the mixed greens to go along with the Ribs n Chicken plate. My hubby let me sample his. The roll is good, too. I was looking with envy at my friend's potato salad, but making do with the porky beans and mac-n-cheese was not a burden. I want to know if one of the owners has North Texas roots because that is where I have seen sweet potato pie served after BBQ. There was so much right with this meal that I want to go back and order again. It was good enough I want to see what I missed. So next order would possibly be the tips with potato salad , greens, corn bread, chess pie and sweet potato pie. Google has some pre-arranged key words of what to recommend but they don't have my plate or the sauce as something to recommend to buy. You can buy the sauce. Buy that sauce. Go ahead and...

Never again will I go to this location. Their customer service is piss poor. I spent almost $100 on two slabs of ribs and 4 sweet potato pies. At the speaker I told her I want my sauce on the side and I was going to buy an extra sauce and she said I was already going to get a lot of sauce. [Which I typically get a large cup of sauce when I get 1 slab so I thought to myself she’s right, 2 cups for 2 slabs] They gave me food I pulled off. I got to the end of the curb and my daughter noticed no sauce. I backed up and immediately when inside. They are trying to tell me I got sauce. We go back out check my bags. They lady that checked them keeps saying “I didn’t bag up your order” The ones in the back are saying “We gave her sauce” One lady in the front is saying “There was no sauce in there. One bag had the two slabs and the other the pies” She only gave me one thing of sauce and was trying to tell me what I she gave me extra and I would have gotten much less. [Lies I know what I typically get] So I decide to buy another sauce. While I’m waiting some lady comes out the back and wants to have a stare down like you gon do somethin. So I stare back cuz if you wanna take it there we can. Once I see she wasn’t about nothin I look away. They give me my sauce and I still remained polite and left. They wack af there. All this over a mistake that yall made ? Absolutely not. Would never go...

I stopped going to this location awhile back because they always got my order wrong. Well, I decided to try again yesterday (Feb. 8, 2023) just to see if they had improved. They are consistent if nothing else. My order, of course was wrong, and to make matters worse, I ordered through Ubereats. I called the restaurant, explained my issue, and was told to hold because the guy that answered the phone was in back cooking. I was then hung up on. I called back, and was hung up on immediately. I called back, and was hung up on again. So after being hung up on multiple times, I CALLED BACK AGAIN. This time I was told, I can't do anything about that. You can either send someone up here to get your order corrected or chalk it up. Keep in mind, I order through Uber Eats and paid a delivery fee. Needless to say, I had to still travel there to have my order corrected. I handed the guy my incorrect order and he took it back to the kitchen. This was strange because most restaurant don't accept food that has been outside back over the counter and if they do, they throw it away immediately. 🚩 I was not offered any reimbursement for my time, or inconvenience, which I wouldn't have accepted because now I'm highly upset, and don't have appetite. Lesson learned, I will...
