★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marbalina “Marbalina3000” Claborn · Oct 2025

The restaurant is nice when you walk in there's a gentleman sitting there a little Stern but that's what you can expect however, it smell like barbecue however I didn't see a grill or anything and it kind of reminded me of liquid smoke. In addition the food was good, I had ordered the ribs and link I thought the links come in like little cut up however they just slice them in half, the ribs again had a liquid smoke flavor. They had their own little barbecue sauce which definitely goes good with it. 7.8 out of 10!

Love getting my food here when I'm in town for work. The service the owner and employees provide make you feel like family. Everything I've tried is very tasty and their mild sauce is to-die-fer, I like the menu's variety and the choice of chicken wings and turkey drums and tips. A must-have if you are in Merrillville, IN or driving through the area, the restaurant is not too far from the highway.

Don’t get me wrong Smoking Glaze BBQ is good but they are so SELFISH & STINGY with the meat like seriously. I’ve been coming here a few times and they piss me off everytime. Smh! I ordered a large tip dinner, they literally gave me about 8 pieces of tips and 12 fries. Like come on now!!!! That’s the only thing i don’t like. They are very good - very well seasoned and they sauce got better cause it use to taste like straight Cumin and Chili powder but they just real stingy with the food but high priced…. After today this my last time going to them because this is ridiculous. This is what a LARGE TIP WITH FRIES look like!!! NOTHING! And no I didn’t eat a fry nor did I eat a tip before taking the picture. This is what they gave me. And if I went in to get it I wouldn’t even have accepted thi

9/27/2024 I can't believe I wasted my money on this trash! The people giving this establishment high ratings must've been paid for their testimony. I bought a 1/2 slab and 2 small tips with a side of mac and 🧀. The tips were average, thinly cut, not worthy of high praise, the Mac and cheese was thick, pasty, and didn't taste cheesy at all! No flavor whatsoever! The 1/2 slab...OMG...I wouldn't give to my worst enemies dog. I couldn't even bite into the meat. It was too salty, and the sauce on the side still tasted like an amateur cook made it. You see...I forgot that I bought food from them a couple of years ago and didn't do a review then, of which I should have, but when I got my food through door dash and went back to Maps and saw the picture of the establishment is when I had a "Doh!"

The ribs are very tender and the sauce is on point. I have only 1 issue. They need to up their portion size. Very small portion for the price. They have the best links I've ever had and they were well done.
