I lived part of my life in Texas and have traveled through most of the south (Memphis, Carolinas) and west (Kansas City) so I know my BBQ. Â Indiana is not known for the 'que. Â However, Squealers is a beacon in the darkness. Â My wife and in-laws love the pork ribs, but I am a brisket/pulled porked guy myself. Â They all have just the right amount of smoke and Squealers gets the pink ring that all BBQ lovers look for and love.
Review Source:I don't even know where to start. Â This ranks up there with one of the best BBQ places I've ever been in the country. Â
Busy on this Saturday evening. Â They were out of brisket! How does this happen!
I settled for the smoked 1/2 chicken dry which was super tender and moist with a great smoky aroma. I always get the mix of sweet and spicy bbq sauce it's a perfect blend of zip with a touch of sweetness and not over sweet but not super hot even though the chicken can stand alone a dip in the sauce every bite or so is perfect burst of flavor. Â I had baked beans and a sweet potato on the side. The baked beans had pork in them and had just the right amount of spice and seasoning in them. Â
The meal comes with fried biscuits and apple butter.
Everything a BBQ place should be!
Mooresville's best secret!
Everyone's heard of Gray Brother's Cafeteria, but this restaurant is one that I've passed by time and again only to one day finally give it a go.
The atmosphere is great for a BBQ experience and the food and service is great!
Our family now visits often.
My husband rarely steps outside of a burger or steak type of meal, but he loves this place!
While discussing the opening of yet another bbq chain on our side of town we suddenly realized - we were hungry for some good bbq.  We hadn't been to Squealers for a long, long time plus we had a ZooBook Coupon that was begging to be used, so we decided to head on over to the Mooresville location this last Saturday for an early dinner. The atmosphere was just what we were in the mood for - a family-friendly (i.e.- no smoking!) country-ish feel, large dining room with high ceiling, picnic-style tables scattered around but not overcrowded. We settled down in the small bar area, which is separated from the dining room, where a great mixture of blues and blues rock was playing (rather loudly to my enjoyment) across the stereo system. Squealers smokes all of their meats fresh daily over cherry & hickory wood - the delicious smell was immediately enticing and we made our food decisions quickly. The bartender was our server and he proved to be very proficient at his job. We both ordered "pick-two" platters which consist of 2 choices of meats and 2 sides. Since we wanted to try as much as possible, we both ordered different  meats and different sides. We also ordered the meats with a dry rub only and Squealer's housemade bbq sauces on the side. We only had a very short wait before our meals were served. The St Louis-style ribs were great - they had a crunchy bark and the meat was tender and very flavorful. The Jumbo chicken wings were JUMBO and cooked perfectly - tender & juicy.  The beef brisket was wonderful - tender, moist and pink in the middle.  And, the best for last, the pulled pork was truly perfect in every way.  It had the most amazing smoke flavor and the perfect melt in your mouth texture. The sides were great, too. We had the bbq baked beans which were surprisingly mild & simple but were a great accompaniment to the highly flavorful meats. The mac'n'cheese was creamy and intensely cheesey. The cole slaw was creamy but sweet and the cabbage was nice & crunchy.  Onion rings were good.  The meals also came with 2 fried biscuits and apple butter. I honestly have never understood the Hoosier fascination for this dish but, after having Squealer's version, I am now a fan.  Fried & crisp on the outside and chewy & fresh on the inside. The apple butter was good, too but we enjoyed dipping the biscuits in our sides of bbq sauce.  We also had beer with our meals - they have your basic domestic drafts and bottles, also a small selection of craft beer in bottles and also Oaken Barrel Indiana Amber on draft!  We'll be going back to Squealers soon.
Review Source:This is some of the best bbq you can eat in Indiana! My family and I have been coming here alot and we love it! The first time we came here, we got Tom as our waiter. This guy is probably the best waiter in the whole place, trust me, when you come here if you can get his section ask for him, he is on it the whole time you are there! He is very friendly and always remembers us when we show up! The bbq is awesome, some of the best meals ever! The sides are delicious and the biscuts and apple butter are excellent!!! I think the price isn't that bad for all the food you get, very pleased with this place!!! They have blues music playing and has a nice relaxing feel to the place. You'll see alot of their awards and trophies they've won for their bbq sauce! I highly recommend this place to all of you bbq lovers! All this talk about it makes me want to go there now!!!
Review Source:This is the best BBQ in Indianapolis. I've tried it all and Squealers does it right every time. The meat is perfectly tender and juicy, and the baby back ribs are to-die-for. The sauces are great with mild and spicy varieties. The side dishes are all excellent (although the mac & cheese can be over-cooked sometimes.) The appetizers are really great... I highly recommend the potato wedges. And of course, don't miss out on the fried biscuits with apple butter. You can't go wrong here... the portions are huge and prices are very reasonable. I even had them cater my wedding!
