I was not expecting much when I first heard about a BBQ spot in McCordsville, Indiana. A small town, a depot street address, and a name I had never come across before did not exactly scream “destination meal.” But the moment the smell of slow-smoked meat hit me in the parking lot, I knew something special was happening inside.
Trax BBQ has quietly built a loyal following across the greater Indianapolis area, and for good reason. This is the kind of place where the food does all the talking, the portions make your jaw drop, and the whole experience feels like a Sunday cookout at someone’s house rather than a transaction at a restaurant counter.
If you have been searching for honest, soul-satisfying Carolina-style BBQ in Indiana, your search ends here.
