Super-friendly and helpful staff, and the food was spectacular. Ribs were smokey and delicious, and the baked beans were seriously the best I've ever had.

We moved here from the south with top star bbq Bo Doggies served us quickly and it was yummy Young fella at the counter very personable
For northern BBQ, this is about as good as it gets. Brisket, burnt ends, hot link, wings and ribs are delicious and the smokey Mac and Cheese is great. Not the nicest place to eat in at, but the food is good enough it doesn't matter or you can take it to go. Best BBQ in northeast Indiana.
I stumbled across Bo Doogie's while running errands and being a barbecue junky, I had to stop & check it out. Walking into the place, it doesn't much impress, it has more of a "takeout" feel to it, but hey, barbecue is about the food, not the atmosphere. And trust me when I say that you're probably better off taking it out at this place because if you stay, you will struggle to resist the urge to eat everything on the menu. I ordered the two meat combo with burnt ends and pork belly. I chose corn bread and smoked Mac as my sides because, BBQ, that's why! First off, the portions are large. Worth the price. The smoked Mac was on point. In a perfect world it would be a tad creamier but the flavor absolutely compensates. I know that cornbread is like wine, everyone has their own preferences. That being said, I'm a traditional, grainy, yet slightly moist corn bread kind of guy. The cornbread here comes in the form of a muffin and acts very much like one. Good flavor with a hint of sweetness. It pinches like fresh white bread but gives a bit of a dry mouth feel. I don't hate it, nor do I love it. Now for the big stuff, the meat. The burnt ends; very tender and super flavorful, however, having that beautiful bark on only two sides, I would say they're more "chunks of brisket " than true burnt ends. But well worth eating nonetheless. The pork belly; this is why I never drive past a bbq joint. That magnificent pile of man-candy was borderline orgasmic. I would drive a hundred miles to eat this stuff for 3 meals a day if I could get it past my wife and cardiologist. Absolutely delicious!!!! The sauces; the standard BBQ sauce is quite good. Exactly what I look for in a restaurant that specializes in BBQ. The spicy version however is, in my opinion, missing something. The heat is mild to mid, the flavor is okay but it just tastes a bit flat to me. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't throw it away, but again, it's not dissimilar to cornbread, in that individual tastes and preferences will vary. Overall, an excellent choice if you're hankering for good, hand made BBQ .
