No. 423 Smokehouse

Pit fired chicken is great. Brisket is cooked perfectly. A bit bland no bark. Spicy BBQ sauce is fire. Corn bread salad was new for me. Served chilled. Domestic beer only. Will definitely be back to try the strombolli.

We stopped in and got their rib dinners to go. Service was great and fast! If you haven’t had their ribs, you’re missing out…:-)

When we moved back to Indiana from Texas in 2018, I brought some BBQ from this establishment and loved it. After a sixteen hour drive from Texas, we felt satisfied with a good BBQ meal. Little did I know how hard it is to find good barbecue in Indiana, unlike Texas. For 5 years I strained my memory on where I had bought that fabulous barbecue, and only in July 2024, out of desperation, scanned every restaurant until I found it once again: the 423 Smokehouse. Oh, what a joy! Happiness! We bought many pounds of brisket, BBQ chicken, ribs, and pulled pork to take home. It's about an hour drive from our home near Bloomfield, but will make the trek more often now that we have rediscovered this culinary treasure. Waiter Matthew was quite hospitable, as were the other hosts.

My Mom, boyfriend and I really enjoyed the food at 423 Smokehouse in Petersburgh, IN. It was our first time there and the food was delicious. My Mom got the Diane pulled pork sandwich with homemade chips. The sandwich was huge and I can't believe she ate all of that. The chips were delicious. She did have a few of those leftover that she sent home with me, because there were a lot. I tried one there and they were good hot and cold. My boyfriend got the ginormous breaded tenderloin and fries. He always finishes a tenderloin, but that cut off piece was brought home for me to try later and it was really good. Now to my food choice. I got the pit roasted chicken, dark meat, with baked beans and potato salad. It was delicious. The only issue, and I won't say complaint, because it was very delicious, but the only issue I have was that chicken leg had about 2 bites on it. And the thigh wasn't very big either. My boyfriend said the look on my face was priceless when she set my food in front of me. He said at least you know it's not pumped full of hormones to make it bigger. I would definitely order that again, IF the pieces were bigger. The taste was amazing. But the size of the chicken pieces I was given were more like a child-size portion. My boyfriend bought a The Benjamin pepperoni pizza to take home for our supper. I can't imagine it being better hot out of the oven, because it was so good eating it cold later. We're those weirdos who love cold pizza just as much as we love hot pizza. I'm sure it's really good fresh and hot, because it was so good cold later. I'm still giving them 5 stars, even though the chicken pieces were small, because everything tasted great. We will definitely eat there again.
