I don't know if the title is true for sure, really, since I haven't been to every restaurant in Mooresville-- there are more of them than you might expect for the town's small size. Like everyone else in Indianapolis, The Little Woman and I were going cabin fever stir-crazy, so when restaurants were allowed to reopen in the donut counties we fled the city for some dining out relief. We had lunch at Squealers BBQ, 390 E. High Street in Mooresville, and surprise! We were seated immediately, at a table surrounded by off-limits tables to maintain social distance. It's a sort of old-fashioned place with timber frame cabin walls, old metal signs and neon, etc., which is quite comfortable and familiar to an old fart like myself.
TLW had the ($10) Breaded Tenderloin sandwich and a ($5) glass of house wine while I had the daily special ($7) Pulled Pork sandwich and fries along with a ($5.50) good 'n cold 22 oz. mug of Oaken Barrel Amber Ale. They have a good selection of both wine and beers. The Tenderloin was quite good, pounded only medium thin with a fried-chicken type breading and seasoned nicely. The Pulled Pork was good but could have been a little more smoky for my taste, although their barbecue cookoff trophies on the wall might disagree with me. I opted for their Spicy Hot barbecue sauce, which is EXCELLENT, a little smoky and sweet but not too sweet, and some very tasty heat to it. I would have purchased a bottle to take-home (much to TLW's chagrin-- "Where're we gonna put THAT? You've got 4 other BBQ sauces already!") but their crew was beginning to get very busy with other escaping Indianapolites (er, Indianapolitans? I dunno). Maybe next time... YEEHAW!
