Sublette’s Ribs in Monticello, Indiana is known by locals as THE place to go for commercial smoked goodness!

little Indiana and hubby had to see what all the noise was about–and headed out to this White County favorite.

Feast your eyes on this appealing menu! A Southern Barbecue Sandwich, a Whole Hog Sandwich, marinated pork that’s slow cooked for ten hours, and a killer Pork Tenderloin sandwich said to be the size of your head!

With choices like that, and the yummy smells from the commercial smoker, it took me a minute or two before I pounded on the Brisket. This one is slow cooked for eighteen hours–and had my name on it.

We also couldn’t bypass the appetizer sampler. Fried Pickles are always a win for me. Hubs ordered the half a chicken but we both agreed that mine was the better choice! So tender!

Man oh man, do I love a brisket sandwich! That was incredible. I barely had any room after I claimed dibs on the Buffalo Chicken and Fried Pickles in our appetizer. But I pressed on. Research, remember?

This is a great laid-back kind of place. Something that I really, really liked to see (and have never seen before) was the large toy box full of kid stuff.

What an awesome idea! With a whole lot of seating in that area, kids have a bit of room to explore the contents while remaining under watchful eyes but in a small Indiana town?

Everyone knows everyone else anyway. Even we managed to bump into someone we knew and Monticello is not even our small town!

As barbecue goes, well, Indiana is really smoking! If you have never made it in to one of these unique mom and pop restaurants, you have absolutely got to add it to your “must eat” list!

Oh, and get the Brisket Sandwich. It is delicious!
