Reviews for Frank's Backyard BBQ in Cedar Lake, IN
I have dined in and taken out, and neither time has disappointed. Food is delicious and served quickly. The sampler is well... priced and shows off the variety of what they sell. Also indulged in the smoked wings which are some of the best I?ve ever had(Alabama white sauce on the side). Read more
Franks BBQ is hands down the best BBQ I've ever had in my life. The wings, ribs, brisket... you name it! The staff is extremely... friendly. And to be honest, the fall decor is such a nice touch! Thanks Franks! Read more
While visiting The Shrine of Christ's Passion, I came across Frank's Backyard BBQ. Upon arriving, it didn't initially look... inviting. I am SO glad I decided to give it a go! The hospitality was warm and welcoming. The inside was, well, just as thename states, like a friend's "backyard BBQ"! I had the rib tips and my friend had the pulled pork. We shared sides, the coleslaw. They serve both versions, with cream and vinegar. I like the creamy one but both were tasty. We also shared the loadedtaters. Those were delicious. I ordered the spicy corn. That was also delicious, but I believe it needed a splash of freshlime juice to brighten it up. Regardless, it was really good. They have three types of sauces on the tables and they are allequally good! The tables are picnic tables and there are some games, like checkers, on the tables. Love it! I willdefinitely have to make a return trip soon and try something else. I definitely recommend trying this hidden jem. Oh, theyalso have a patio. And the price is very reasonable. Read more
Franks catered my daughter's bridal shower on 9/3/22 for 75 people. The food was awesome. My favorite BBQ around. The burnt ends... were the favorite along with the baked beans, Brussel sprouts, corn and potato salad. We had pork tenderloin and pulled porkalong with the burnt ends. Chicken salad was awesome and a great choice for people who didn't eat the smoked meat. It made agreat party. Read more
in my short 17 years of existing on Earth this is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to, all the food is killer and the... staff told me they liked my jacket. I have disliked green beans my whole life but this place made me love them. I cannot pushyou hard enough to give them a visit. AND THEY HAVE ICE MOUNTAIN!!! Read more
Big mistake in never stopping here before. BIG. Great folks. Fast service. Lovely traditional BBQ joint feel with picnic tables... inside and outside. The brisket was terrific. The wife had the chicken. It, too, was great. The potatoes? Phenomenal. Likereally good. The brisket chili looked great and the cornbread was top notch. Highly recommend. Read more
So yummy!! We had the rib tip bogo special for $10, a side order of garlic potatoes, loaded taters, brisket chili, sweet corn... bread, and brownies. The ribs were so fantastic! We will be back again to get full slabs next time!! The potatoes were veryheavy on the garlic, which I'd normally love, but it didn't complement very well with the bbq sauce. I didn't realize theloaded potatoes would also be the garlic potatoes again, I wish the cashier would have pointed that out. Those were better thanthe plain, in my opinion. The cornbread was super dry so I put it in the chili. The chili was good!! I've never had brisketchili but we will definitely get it again. Has a great kick to it. Lastly, the brownie. Oh my gosh. It was the most delicious,life changing, ooey gooey brownie I've ever had. I don't think I'll ever be able to order from here again without getting atleast one brownie!!!! I was going to give 4 stars, that that brownie fixed everything. Read more
