What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sugar Creek Barbeque Co. is a local favorite known for its flavorful smoked meats and unique sides like fried biscuits and loaded fries. While many praise the tender, moist meats and friendly service, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food temperature and occasional lack of certain popular items like coleslaw or ice cream.

"We decided to visit this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. All of the food was prepared absolutely perfect. The meat was moist and tender. If you haven't visited you are missing out on a wonderful restaurant. Everyone needs to stop and support this small business."
Trenton Smith
"Great location and atmosphere. The food was good could have rendered the brisket a little more. The smash burger is the clear winner from our order!"
Nathan Traylor
"Great BBQ restaurant located near the Brown County Music Center. Great selection of barbecued meats, including ribs, pork, chicken and sausage. Lots of selection and generous portions. I had the two meat selection and the loaded french fries which were awesome. My friends also had sampler platters, and we all commented that we would come back to this restaurant in the future. Highly recommended."

Best Nashville, Indiana Restaurants (2025)
Sugar Creek BBQ is a local favorite for a reason—no-fuss, flavor-forward smoked meats and classic sides, served in a comfortable, casual setting. It’s not flashy, but it delivers exactly what you want from a barbecue spot: ribs, pulled pork, brisket, turkey, and a handful of Hoosier-style sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and cornbread. It’s one of those places where everyone leaves full, and you’ll be tempted to grab a to-go box for later.

Sugar Creek BBQ - We love this restaurant, but if you need amounts for a larger group you really need to call and place an order in advance. This includes more traditional catering set-ups, or just larger carryout orders. I definitely recommend their food though!
