Find me Gluten Free app recommended True BBQ, saying the restaurant had a nice selection of GF options. They did not steer me wrong. I was really impressed with the variety of GF items-from staters to salads, entrees and desserts-not just a few sandwiches on GF buns. Not only that, but the food was delish-and my gluten-eating companions agreed. The ribs were tender and juicy, the drinks were met with approval, and my salad (I rarely order salads at BBQ joints as I find they are generally sub-par and lacking creativity) was fantastic-mixed greens (which included kale and cabbage to give it a little substance and texture) topped with smoked duck. I was really pleased. The atmosphere was comfortable and hip-i really loved the bar where we ate. They had tv's so we could watch the NBA all star weekend, but it didn't have a sports bar feel, nor was it too noisy as some bars. We were able to easily carry out a conversation. Although we had a couple snafus with our order, the staff went above and beyond to get it right and make sure we had an enjoyable experience. Our whole party was very impressed. Although True BBQ does BBQ well, it's not just a BBQ joint. It is a legit restaurant with a mean BBQ among their many other strengths. I definitely recommend.
Absolutely one of the best places to eat and drink in the region. The brisket was extremely good and of great quality. The vast Whiskey and Bourbon was very nice. The Bird Dog Whiskey milkshakes were my favorite part of the visit. The entire place is very nice and had a good atmosphere. I'd highly recommend going here!
My mom and I went yesterday for an early birthday dinner. Everything was amazing! The smoked chicken wings were perfect, my steak was made perfect. We are completely stuffed. So of course we had a giant cream puff thing for dessert! Truly an amazing place.
We discovered this restaurant about 3 years ago and have made it a regular stop on our 'Date Night' circuit. The food is awesome, creamy or smoked, sweet, tart, hot or tangy your taste buds will dance with delight. And that doesn't begin to address the depth of the Whiskey and Beer aspects of the menu. And yes ... if you insist... they do serve wine as well.
The Patio is fun in the warmer seasons. Reservations are available and recommended on the weekends unless you like to eat quite early.
This is the second bbq joint that I have found in a month that is good! We went for my fathers and I Birthday on a Saturday night. Started off slow for the restaurant (we where the only ones at 4pm) but picked up quickly. We got the 40oz tiki punch, St. Louis and Baby Back ribs! Tender but not fall off the bone which is good in bbq! What’s nice is they dry rub the ribs which is nice cause who likes ribs drowned in sauce? Overall, 5 stars � because the waiter wasn’t up our butts, great food and good ambiance! I only wish our big drink came faster lol
As someone who is vegan 🌱 in Northwest Indiana, it’s hard to find vegan options. This restaurant has wonderful and delicious 😋 options!! The vegan ruben is amazing. The vegan Oreo cheesecake is also great. The service is also stellar. Thanks True!!
Love that there is more than 1 vegan option. Cool place that vegans and meat eaters can enjoy!
Soooooooo good I had the slider trio duck, brisket & pulled pork & they were ah-mazing!!!!
We were just there Saturday night for a company party. From the hostess, to our waitress, managers, food and the wonderful/many choices of whiskey’s from around the world all I can say is OUTSTANDING! Wish we lived closer because we would be patronizing this establishment a LOT! Thanks to all, our second year there and you did not disappoint! Big KUDOS!
We stopped by to see what kind of BBQ this area of the country serves, and it was a good experience. The facility is very nice, and not what I would think of when I think "bbq". The staff were great and very helpful, and the whiskey selection was great.
The food was all unique and very savory. I had the Smoked Cuban sandwich and it was pretty awesome. You can tell they definitely put effort into everything they made, which I appreciated. I'd definitely go back if I'm around this area again.
Cute restaurant, great atmosphere, and strong drinks. I love the vegan menu and variety of BBQ sauce options. We sat outside on the patio and there’s a fire pit in the center of the table. Great touch 👌🏾, I wish we visited at night to see the fire. I would definitely visit again. The three cheese Mac and cheese was pretty good as well.
Our first time here. Super glad we went off the beaten path to find this gem. Killer smoked-fried ribs, fried chicken sandwich and corn bread was excellent!! Very nice whiskey and bourbon collection at the stylish bar. Our waitress Collette was super cute and attentive. Highly recommend!
I was invited to a friends bday dinner! We sat on the bar side by the fireplace. I was concerned about being cold but this was not a issue at all. It was a rainy damp evening so the fireplace setting was a thumbs up! The ambience was lovely. Out of two appetizers i ordered i wasent informed they were out of the other until my one arrived. The alligator was not fried hard enough for me it was chewy but some of the other guess enjoyed. I never recieved my side of brussel sprouts to go with my entree or my second drink. Our party did not enjoy having too figure out how to split the bill in the end amongst 12ish people. Just a fyi a hand held device has been invented where you split the bill at the table side. Ive experienced it at another restaurant. That process was a whole headedache. Overall the food was good and our server was nice but maybe a lil overwhelmed. It was alot of us to serve. Considering all the above is why i give a 4 star review.

Excellent brisket, excellent chicken BBQ, food was better than many BBQ I’ve eaten before, especially the brisket. I would recommend this place!
Great drinks and great food! Went there for my company Christmas party and had a blast. Drank their "Elf fashioned" drink and it was so good, I bought a bottle for home. The Alligator appetizer was good and the trio platter was so good and filling! Good time had by all!
Seitan burnt ends for me (vegan), pulled pork nachos for my daughter. Amanda our server was amazing! Her cocktail recommendations never dissappointed. Can't wait to get back here.
I've been going to True for the past few years now on a regular basis and they never disappoint. The food and drinks are exceptional, but more importantly, the service from everyone there is extraordinary! The staff makes you feel like family! The atmosphere is definitely a place of peace for me. Mike (manager) is so accommodating and welcoming. The staff (Brit, Lexi, Tony, Eric, Amanda, everybody 😂) is fantastic. I recommend this restaurant to anyone! Go check it out, you will not be disappointed!
