Reviewer's Comments: They burn logs in a brick unit, no charcoal, no gas, real wood. Carry out only. Pepsi machine out front. Very good rib tips, sauce on the frys too, cole slaw side. They do chicken halves on weekend only. Even do bologna, if thats your thing, also ribs, and pork BBQ (loosemeat) sandwich. Family owned, Frankie is the name of the woman who started the restruant.

Reviewer's Comments: Wagners has got the best ribs I have ever had. The meat is so tender it pulls right off the bone to melt in your mouth. The atmosphere is nice. It is not a family thing but for business or just a little get together. They have a large choice of beers from domestic to Orange beer from Australia.

Top quality meats; a remarkable sauce and well-prepared sides. As close to Texas style barbecue you'll find in the Midwest. Ask for your brisket sliced.

Unbelievable quality. Who would have thought you'd find a real Texas style barbecue in central Indiana. Generous portions, fantastic sauce and friendly folks. Ask Dick to smell his pit!

Wagner's has the BEST ribs! We lived in that area 12 years ago and used to frequent the place...back when they only had 6 tables!! Went there last weekend & the ribs are still the best. If you live within driving distance, and are a rib lover, this is definitely worth the trip!!!!
