"This is the place to go with your family, friends, neighbors — literally everyone, the dog included. There are a variety of individual meals and platters of barbecue fresh from the smoker, but the best bang for your buck is the Smorgasbord: brisket that’s falling apart, pork butt, tender ribs, hot links, and smoked wings served with pickles, bread, and Fritos. You’re in for a treat if you save room for the Eddie’s Melt sandwich: fresh made collard greens, smoked pork, and pimento cheese stuffed between two pieces of Texas toast. But what’s barbecue without the sides? Half Liter is known for sides that taste homemade, including baked beans, mac and cheese, and even hot honey Brussels sprouts. With huge indoor and outdoor seating areas, and music some nights of the week, Half LIter is a great place to vibe, eat, and drink right off the Monon Trail." - Mike Gillis

I give Half Liter a 5 star rating because the food overall is really good and the atmosphere is welcoming but it mixes bar and pseudo mountain lodge vibes. So while I do not mind it, others who are looking for a more BBQ style atmosphere may not see it here. I keep coming back here because the service is fantastic, the food is really good, and because they have some really fun events from time to time.

Came here for devour Indy. Great deal for appetizer, entree, and desert for 30$. Didn’t skimp on portions either! I had jalapeño poppers, pork belly, and bread pudding. Everything was really tasty and well put together. Fun outdoor dog friendly seating too!!

First, the atmosphere is great. Beautiful outdoor patio often with live music in a beer garden type setting, and a nice two level indoor space as well, with a bit more of a sports bar saloon type feel. We came during the Oktoberfest menu, and food was pretty mediocre. We will try the normal menu sometime. The jagerschnitzel was edible but quite dry. The beer rouladen was decent and fun to try. Service was good. They have Big Lug beers available on draft.

This is a typical hipster place now. It looks clean with nice decorations. Everything looks well put together like the appearance of a good BBQ place. The food is not great it's just normal. The prices would make you think it's the best but it's far from it. They don't season. Or if they do they don't use near enough. The BBQ sauce is also just normal. I really expected more seeing the other reviews and Tik Tok videos. The Mac and cheese had no salt and pepper. The one thing we had that was really good was the baked beans. If they work on the parking situation, make better sauce, and season the food then they could really have something here. Alas I'm just a single person and my opinion will fall on deaf ears as they take their money to the bank from the people who don't have taste buds.

Here's an improved version of your review: "My husband and I had our wedding in the banquet hall, and it was absolutely stunning! The food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch throughout the entire event. We had around 145 guests, and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy comfortably. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a beautiful and well-organized wedding experience!"

Great atmosphere and food here. The staff was amazing and the good and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend for good place to unwind or have a great night. The brisket and hot honey brussel sprouts are the way.

4th of July late lunch, sat outside I ordered the Carolina Cuban, hot honey Brussel sprouts and tots, wife ordered some pork butt and chicken wing with 4 cheese mac. Our waitress Ash was wonderful and gave great recommendations. As we were eating a pop up shower started, then down pour. We were unable to get inside fast enough by the time we got back to our food it was flooded...Ash made sure that we were taken care of. Ash and the manager made sure our meals were remade . Ash had amazing customer service. The food was amazing, and the flavor was great. We enjoyed the first bites before the rain ruined our first and the remade meal was just as great. We will be back, full recommendation to visit.

Our family of four visited this place and walked away really impressed! They have a great selection of traditional BBQ favorites as well as some unique options like BBQ queso. My wife and I shared a two meat platter which was plenty of food for us. The meat was tasty, and I really liked the assortment of different sauces they have to try. The sides are also great, and I recommend trying the brussel sprouts and corn bread. My daughters got the kid's chicken tenders and they loved them! They have a good selection of beers as well, mainly from Big Lug brewery. The location itself was large with both indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are decent and service was friendly and super fast!
