The restaurant is nice when you walk in there’s a gentleman sitting there a little Stern but that’s what you can expect however, it smell like barbecue however I didn’t see a grill or anything and it kind of reminded me of liquid smoke. In addition the food was good, I had ordered the ribs and link I thought the links come in like little cut up however they just slice them in half, the ribs again had a liquid smoke flavor. They had their own little barbecue sauce which definitely goes good with it. 7.8 out of 10!

Love getting my food here when I’m in town for work. The service the owner and employees provide make you feel like family. Everything I’ve tried is very tasty and their mild sauce is to-die-fer, I like the menu’s variety and the choice of chicken wings and turkey drums and tips. A must-have if you are in Merrillville, IN or driving through the area, the restaurant is not too far from the highway.

Don’t get me wrong Smoking Glaze BBQ is good but they are so SELFISH & STINGY with the meat like seriously. I’ve been coming here a few times and they piss me off everytime. Smh! I ordered a large tip dinner, they literally gave me about 8 pieces of tips and 12 fries. Like come on now!!!! That’s the only thing i don’t like. They are very good – very well seasoned and they sauce got better cause it use to taste like straight Cumin and Chili powder but they just real stingy with the food but high priced…. After today this my last time going to them because this is ridiculous. This is what a LARGE TIP WITH FRIES look like!!! NOTHING! And no I didn’t eat a fry nor did I eat a tip before taking the picture. This is what they gave me. And if I went in to get it I wouldn’t even have accepted this I would’ve asked for a refund because “What is this” NEVER AGAIN!!!! And this wasn’t my first time going here I been here a few times I don’t know why I play myself going here anyway. Hog Haven is way better and they give you more. Its a lil ways away but I won’t be going here anymore.

I can’t believe I wasted my money on this trash! The people giving this establishment high ratings must’ve been paid for their testimony. I bought a 1/2 slab and 2 small tips with a side of mac and . The tips were average, thinly cut, not worthy of high praise, the Mac and cheese was thick, pasty, and didn’t taste cheesy at all! No flavor whatsoever! The 1/2 slab…OMG…I wouldn’t give to my worst enemies dog. I couldn’t even bite into the meat. It was too salty, and the sauce on the side still tasted like an amateur cook made it. You see…I forgot that I bought food from them a couple of years ago and didn’t do a review then, of which I should have, but when I got my food through door dash and went back to Maps and saw the picture of the establishment is when I had a “Doh!” moment, so yes, shame on me & they won’t get me a third time. Moral of the story don’t have your food order delivered from any establishment when it’s close to closing because it’s a convenient way for them to push out poor quality food “scraps” out to the consumer. 2x in a row I’ve had a horrible food experience with these people, so I question the validity of the high ratings. STAY AWAY! unless you’re on some get back for someone you don’t like at work or if you need to get rid of pests in your yard, then go ahead and buy their horrible food. I guarantee the person at work will either apologize for rubbing you the wrong way or hate you even more, and the yard pests will ♀️ for the hills if you throw it at them! I’m going to post 4 pictures. The first 1st & 4th pics are what rib tips are supposed to look like & the 2nd & 3rd pics (the dark, dry, charred crap) are of the I bought from this establishment.

The ribs are very tender and the sauce is on point. I have only 1 issue. They need to up their portion size. Very small portion for the price.
They have the best links I’ve ever had and they were well done.

After a quick moment of playing hooky swing by to try their barbecue. Ordered the catfish, brisket, and ribs with some sides. New but friendly staff took my order and really made sure they got it right. The owner (Phil Glaze) was a character!! Ready to joke and talk to whomever was in the lobby area.
The smoke was spot on!! The catfish was very good!!! Our ribs did not need the sauce, as advertised, but it was good anyway. Great potato salad and baked beans. The brisket was flavorful-though crumbly that day.
We want to help this young business keep growing because the passion and talent are there–it will take the village to ensure he stays!! Don’t come for fancy decor just be patient, be casual, and be ready to eat well. Thanks, Mr Glaze!!

We bought the turkey tips. We loved them! They were moist and tender(was nervous at first). Liked the taste of the sauce. The fries and potatoe salad were good. The service was very good as well. No complaints at all. Will definitely be going back.

This food was so delicious I had smoked chicken yesterday!! Oh my goodness! You could taste that it was genuinely smoked and the barbecue sauce was so delicious. They even took the time to put my piece of bread inside of a separate bag so that it wouldn’t get soggy, I haven’t had that happen before the fries were steam hot and I had the sauce on that too! The chicken was top quality they give whole wings here that are humongous I almost thought it was a turkey wing lol

Overall: 3.6/5 – This is a competent BBQ joint that I’d order from again. Since it’s carry out only I don’t know if it warrants a special trip but definitely a stop when passing by on my way home.
House: 3/5 – Carry out only with no in-house dining. The waiting area was clean. SLIGHT mildew smell makes me concerned about the fountain drink machine being cleaned properly. I didn’t get a drink because of this.
Service: 5/5 – Prompt service to take the order. The food was made fresh and packaged perfectly for transport.
Food: 3.5/5 – I got a half slab, slaw, and potato salad. The sauce was nice; little kick, good flavor. The smoke on the ribs was proper. No problems with taste on the ribs but they were tough. I don’t mind a little bite to a rib but this was closer to pull/gnaw. The slaw was fresh with crisp veggies. Potato salad was a nice surprise. The mustard style base was perfectly balanced against the mayo and a hint of apple cider vinegar provided a nice tang against the sweet relish.
Price: 3/5 – Fair market pricing is consistent with other BBQ joints.
