I can't believe no one has mentioned KING RIBS. Yes there are several However I frequent the one on 16th st.

large rib tips (enough for two meals) no sides is 10.55

on Wednesday you can get a Half chicken and two sides for less than five bucks more food than you should eat and it is awesome.


Three sauces hot, mild, and mix.

Adel's Gyros at 104th & College in Homeplace / Carmel.

I'm eating lunch there now and it is excellent.
