Crown Hill takeout pit from Texan Hank Fields on Martin Luther King Drive since 2004, brisket smoked 8 to 12 hours over Texas mesquite; closed Mondays.
Why locals love it: A small barbecue counter on Martin Luther King Drive, Indianapolis. The brisket is the city's quiet best, run from a strip-mall storefront.
Tip: Run out by mid-afternoon. Go by noon for a full plate Word-of-mouth is the only marketing.
