"Sooooooo good.... the turkey tips are absolutely amazing they are always flavorful and seasoned well don't even need bbq sauce... but since we're on the sauce let's talk about it... YUMMOLA, they should bottle it up !!!! The baked beans and potato salad are my go to sides and really good too. This place is a hidden gem and believe me I'm a tough citric. Kudos Smokin Glaze 👏"

"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."

"We ordered the Turkey, Barbecued Ribs, and Catfish to go... All were excellent!! We did not need to add any sauce... everything had good flavor, nice smoke and very tender meat.... The owner visited with us while we waited for our food and gave us samples of the rib tips... Very pleasant person to engage with....we had about an hour drive home and the food was still warm when we got there! smoke and glaze barbecue will be our go to barbecue joint when we are in the area and we will try some other things next time.....
