Subito is a small, unassuming takeaway spot located at 34 N Delaware St, Indianapolis. The menu features an array of delectable options including soups, salads, sandwiches and freshly baked bread. This eatery is a recent addition to the downtown lunch scene and caters specifically to the midday crowd. The name "Subito" translates to "suddenly" in Italian, reflecting the quick service and delicious offerings available here.
This place has amazing food and wonderful staff. I found this place from a secret list about top food in Indianapolis and I was not disappointed at all. The quality of the food is very high and the combinations are incredible. The food was cooked to perfection and the recommendation from the staff was spot on. Sandwiches and soups, there are nothing not tasty from here. I tried six different sandwiches and soups. If you have the opportunity to stop by please do so! Also, the staff are super friendly. Please chat with them if you have time. They make you laugh and bring highlights to your day. Chi

Look, this spot surprised me. I actually loved my sandwiches. I got the brisket and pork shoulder dipper that was recommended. Both were really good! I would definitely hit up this place again. My only gripe is that it’s a smaller place and people were wanting to sit while other people that had finished their food, hung around and talked for 20-30 minutes. Folks, if you are done eating at a busy spot…after about 5 minutes, get up and go! Don’t be rude, continue socializing outside. 💯

Stopped by for lunch looking for a local taste and I’m glad I went here. I tried the turkey pesto sandwich which was grilled and cheesy and delicious. Staff were very friendly and efficient and had their own favorite recommendations. Inside was clean and pleasant to sit and wait in as well as dine in.

What a cool spot. Great for lunch (goes without saying based on the hours they’re open), super relaxed, attentive service, great food. I had the Cuban sandwich and corn chowder and both were top notch.

Good sandwich and soup but small portions. I usually able to share a sandwich but this one I could've ate by myself. I'd like to try other things before I make a final decision because this place has very good reviews but the pastrami sandwich I ordered was nothing special
Christina R — Google review
If you’re looking for a classic, high quality sandwich to pair with a side and drink, you’ve found the place. The bread is the real prize for this sandwich shop. This a no frills straight the point sandwich joint, just what you need for a lunch spot.
Jake H — Google review
I started an online order for pickup (a Walla add pickles and a small vegetable soup) during peak lunchtime hours. I arrived for pickup and the staff found they didn't have my order, which is when I realized I foolishly did not complete the order. The staff was SO KIND and started an order for me in-store right away, and had me on my way in no time. They keep their cool even when busy, remain calm kind and helpful, and clearly have an organized system for filling both in-person and online orders efficiently. And the sandwich and soup was DELICIOUS. Will 1000% be returning for lunch again.
Shelby F — Google review
It is a friendly deli place with pretty good, fresh, and tasty sandwiches, salads, and few soups. Quite simple, no frills, but the prices are reasonable, and service is efficient and cheerful. Recommend for fast lunch in downtown Indy.

Egg Roll Number One is a popular Chinese restaurant with affordable lunch deals and a giant wall menu. The Vietnamese and Chinese spot offers soups and more, earning 4.5 stars out of 379 reviews on Yelp. Specialties include Vietnamese pho and authentic Chinese dishes.
I’ve been coming here to eat their Vietnamese cuisine for a while now. Their food is consistently good and the prices are more than fair. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and the get food out quickly and efficiently. It’s always busy but I’ve never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my food to come!

A friend recommended this place and I’m glad I came! The service was warm and friendly, and the dining environment was very comfortable. I tried the spring rolls and pho—both were great. I especially recommend getting the pho with spice; it adds more flavor without being overly hot. Overall, excellent value for the price!
Yawen D — Google review
Food is REALLY GOOD and for AWESOME prices. Have been back a couple times now and everything has been really tasty. Came here with my finance and we were able to get two big bowls of pho, big plate of crab rangoons, 2 spring rolls, and a plate of sesame chicken with rice all for only like $45. Needles to say we had lots of leftovers to take home. Food comes out very quick and staff is very nice and responsive. We came close ish to closing time as we both worked late. They didn’t rush us or push us out at all (we still tried to not stay too long as they were starting to clean up and we didn’t want To keep them too long).

One star for the convenient location only. I was looking for another restaurant after Bamboo House closed and this place is a hard no for me. I have never received Chinese food in a foam container. Sauce from the chicken broccoli spilled out of the container. The food was not freshly prepared. The hot and sour soup was very sweet and nasty. Had to choke the food down because that's what was for dinner. I would not recommend this place.

I can't say enough good things about this place. The staff are super friendly they recognize me when I come in and they treat me and everybody as if we are their favorite customer. The food is always on point. I love the Thai food and everyone I know has a favorite dish at this place. I typically get crab rangoons, fried dumplings and a pork chop over rice with an egg. Never disappointed at this place if you have not been here go now drop everything and run! Go get some of this amazing food. Every time I go here I usually see quite a few Asian people enjoying the food so that tells me that the flavors are authentic

Ordered their dinner special (orange chicken) for takeout lunch today, and it was delicious! Normally orange chicken is disgustingly sweet, and this was not! Their fried rice also was super yummy, not greasy/oily. Price wise, I got quite a bit of food for $11 (orange chicken, fried rice, 2 crab rangoon, egg drop soup, and a fortune cookie). The staff there are super friendly and seem really sweet. My order was ready pretty quickly too. A huge advocate for supporting local businesses, and this is one I’ll keep going to :)
Marissa O — Google review
This restaurant is most likely a local neighborhood favorite. Given its awards and high reviews, it leads you to believe it's a 4-5 star quality restaurant. But unfortunately, it's not. It's a quick fix, fast foodish, cafeteria like restaurant. Everything I ordered was average. It didn't taste fresh and was warm. The huge selection in the menu leads you to believe that not everything on it gets sold. It's definitely not the 4-5 star authentic pho you're looking for.

Soupremacy's Small Batch Soups are some of the most flavorful and unique soups around. They change regularly to reflect the season, and all of their soups are made with fresh ingredients. Hubby had the chili, which was very spicy, and he also enjoyed the Italian kale parmesan soup. Our only suggestion is that they add more salt to their dishes.
Indianapolis definitely keeps surprising me with their taste. This place is one of them, and their panini are delicious! Definitely wished I had tried the lobster bisque, so if someone has, please let me know🫡

Walked in on a slow Saturday afternoon, and the woman behind the counter did not glance up or say hi/welcome in or anything. I asked about the “chicken velvet” soup because the description is pretty allusive, she rudely responds while still not looking up once. Super off putting vibe so I left. Can’t speak to the food, this review is purely off the initial interaction.
Erica B — Google review
Myself and four coworkers went to lunch here while at a conference. We were skeptical of restaurant after recent reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. Staff was welcoming and polite. Service was fast and cheapest meal we had while in town. Shop is cute, but small. Only 9 seats. We tried chicken tortilla, chicken noodle, lobster bisque, tomato and gumbo. All were great! They even have soup flights. I would recommend. Hit the spot on a cold windy day.
Leeann R — Google review
Ordered delivery from Soupremacy and the kale/parmesan soup with spicy sausage was incredible—easily one of the best soups I've ever had. Rich, flavorful, and super satisfying. I also ordered a panini and some extra bread, but unfortunately those didn’t make it, as they were closing soon and ran out. Bit of a letdown, but the soup was so good it still made the meal worth it. Would definitely order again (just earlier next time!)

I love soup. I did a search for soup in my area and found this place. I was sho excited and placed my order for pick up. When I arrived the lady there was rude and seemed annoyed at my order because she had to leave the store to pick up the frozen soup flavor I wanted. She asked me to wait outside so she could lock up. I also ordered the trio so I could try different flavors. Chicken Velvet, Chicken Noodle and Lobster Bisque. They were all extremely disappointing. Lacking flavor, poor quality, and the texture was off. I couldn’t eat any of them. I won’t be back.
Natasha Q — Google review
Ordered some chicken noodle soup (16 oz), I seriously got a literal 5 noodles in my soup. The quality is pretty meh, nothing worth $10 for 10oz of just straight up broth only. Do not recommend at these prices.
Vincent M — Google review
I like a lot of their food, but their potato salad is advertised as: "Steamed baby red potatoes with crumbled blue cheese and fresh dill," What I got was standard, sweet, deli-counter potato salad. No blue cheese. No dill. Enough sweet relish to qualify as dessert. Gross. Then they gave me two potato salads when I ordered one potato, one pasta. Double gross.
Joanna C — Google review
On 5/23/24 I found myself in need of a quick meal as I forgot to get lunch and decided to grab a half salad and cup of soup from Small Batch Soups across the street from my office. My usual choice, the Caesar salad, was as reliable as ever. However, my experience with the Gazpacho was a letdown. The first spoonful was so bitter that I had to immediately discard it. This disappointment added to my growing list of lackluster soup experiences at this establishment, with only the wild mushroom soup standing out as a positive exception. It's clear that there is a consistency issue with the flavors of the soups here, and it seems like the chef may not be tasting and adjusting the recipes as needed. While I want to support local businesses, if your niche is soups they should be the best soups anyone has ever tasted. The overall lack of flavor and the bitter experience with the Gazpacho have led me to lower my rating from 4 stars to 2 stars. (7months ago) I have eaten here about 6 times in the past 3 weeks. I work in the Sales Force Tower which is very close and convenient to run across the street to get food. I got the chicken velvet soup today which was my first time I have gotten it and will be the last! It tastes like milk and flour mixed with some chicken in it, it is inedible, and lacks salt which I usually never say about food because I do not like the taste of salt. I’ve had Chicken Velvet soup before from the Educated Sandwhich which was amazing! Very disappointed! I guess it’s just the half of the Swanson I also ordered for lunch today.

A Vietnamese family restaurant where it was publicly applauded for its food by the newspaper and by the local magazines. Place was very clean. Sandra herself took my order. Her family member cooked my food. I would normally get the pork chops but this time I got the shrimp 🍤 curry🍛. It was very good. By the time I realized there was none left. Haha I ate it so fast.

The ambiance is a mix of Buddhist sculptures and modern-day murals, creating a unique atmosphere to enjoy the experience.
Amazing dining experience here!! We had the crab puffs, tom yum soup, pad Thai, and pad kra pao (spicy chili basil stir fry). Everything was AMAZING! Our sever Margo had everything timed perfectly so one course came before the next and she made great recommendations of dishes which we ended up ordering. The spice levels were as expected however the mild truly was little to no heat. The medium was a perfect balance of heat and layered into the dishes well. Next time I’ll try a hot level dish! Still so many dishes and cocktails I’d love to come back and try!

Super busy restaurant! On wkd you could experience 1 plus wait time so avoid going right on opening! Tofu salad was great. Braised curry beef was amazing. Drunken noodles were below average It lacked that charred wok and was super sweet . The chili pepper dish was okay. Be careful with the spice level because there spicy is very spicy. So if you cannot handle it ask for mild or nothing. Enjoy.

Overall the food was pretty good. They have a decent number of vegetarian options, but if your group is entirely vegetarian, it might be difficult to get enough dishes. The Naan can be better though. The service is good as well. They do not take advance reservations. So you have to get there early and put your name down.

No reservations? No problem — line up, because Bodhi is so worth it! The appetizers were 🔥, the main dishes were an experience on their own, and the cocktails tied everything together perfectly. The service? 100 out of 10 — so friendly and attentive, it made the meal even better. The cozy vibes just add to the experience. I’m obsessed with Thai food, and this might be my new favorite spot in Indy. Plus, I got some great pics to prove it 📸🍜🍹. One visit and you’ll already be planning your next!

Amazing spot for date night!!! One thing to note is they don’t take reservations so you have to get there early around five to 5:30 PM to put your name out on the list. I think we arrived at 7 PM and waited around 50 minutes for our table. However, it’s totally fine because you can go right around the street to a couple different bars and grab a drink in the meantime! Absolutely loved every drink and dish we got here. I would recommend trying out their seasonal drinks and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the drink menu! Even the bar is on the waitlist so plan ahead and make sure you have blocked out time for both waiting and eating at the restaurant! I think you get around an hour and a half at your table once you are seated. We got the crab Rangoon’s as an appetizer and I don’t know if we were just starving at that point or they were the best things I’ve ever had in the world, but it was one of the two for sure. The service is wonderful and the vibes are amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute date spot in Indianapolis!

We did our research and knew they open at 5pm and do not have online or phone reservations, so we arrived early enough. Good weather to just wait a bit outside. We got there around 4:45pm on a Friday, and there was already a line of about 20 people formed. It was worth it to be one of the first and not have to be on a long wait for sure. It was a pretty great experience overall. Service was very kind. We decided to sit outside in the garden area and it was really nice place for a date. We were really lucky, they had a new summer cocktail menu just come out (see picture). I really liked having the pictures of the cocktails to visually get an idea of what we’d be drinking. I really liked the style of the menu, and everything was shareable. Overall the cocktails were great. The fruit & fire reminded me of a summery orange margarita. I really liked the Seven Realms of Happiness drink too. We came for the pad thai noodles and it was amazing. We agreed that it was our favorite pad thai we ever had. Also really great yellow curry. 2 of the entrees were perfect size for sharing, we finished it all. We can’t wait to go back and try more!

Bodhi was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish. We went on a Friday night and only had to wait about 15 minutes for an outdoor patio seat (when the weather is nice request this! It’s such a beautiful space with ivy & flowers) The cocktails are presented so beautifully & taste delicious. I recommend the Corn + Yuzu & the Cha Yen! Dinner was phenomenal. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail might be the biggest I’ve ever seen, and the sauce that comes with the sticky sweet tamarind tofu is DIVINE! Their version of Tom Kah Gai (chicken coconut soup) is not only one of the best I’ve had, it is a massive portion and easy to share with 2-3 people. The massaman curry and naan was great and my husband’s yellow curry was fantastic. The chicken fell off the bone! I cannot wait to go back. It was an exceptional experience and we had a great time. Service was top notch as well!

Their menu features an array of delicious options like Potato Cheddar Bacon and Sweet Potato with Rosemary, ensuring there's something for everyone.

This was my first time coming to Circle City Soups and will DEFINITELY not be my last. Roger went above and beyond my expectations and I am thoroughly impressed and blown away by his creations.

Café Patachou is a vibrant haven for breakfast lovers, often referred to as a "student union for adults." With multiple locations throughout the city, this trendy spot offers an inventive farm-to-table menu that features delightful dishes like Cauliflower Fried Rice and Sweet Indiana Corn Cakes. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, making it the perfect place to gather with friends over freshly brewed fair-trade coffee or enjoy a leisurely brunch.
Great food. Fast service. We tried a couple different omelettes and the waffles. Everything was really good! Self serve parking garage nearby is pricey and they don't validate, but there is some street parking in the area as well.

Food was amazing. Service was great. Avocado toast can use a little more flavor but it was still good. Chilaquiles were bomb and the croissant French toast was to die for. Only reason for not having 5 stars is the method of check out/payment. This trend of handing the terminal to the customer while the waitress waits for you to select the tip amount is tacky and uncomfortable. Either leave the terminal and go away, or hand me a paper receipt that I can write in without having the waitress giver over me. I recommend not adopting these distal payment trends. Other than that, great place to eat.

I was definitely expecting a great breakfast based on their reviews, but I left disappointed. The Croissant French Toast was a huge disappointment, it was extremely flat and flavor without syrup was decent at best. The included fruit cup looked great, but the pineapple was basically the core it was so hard. The only plus for this place was the two egg omelette off the kids menu, which my son really enjoyed. Service was decent and staff were friendly. Overall if you’re looking for coffee give them a chance but pass on the food.

Delicious and fulfilling breakfast. If it were near the hotel where I stayed, I probably would have eaten there every day. The food was exceptional. We ordered egg whites, smoked salmon, and fruits. I love that they add Arugula as part of the dish. Everything was fresh. Service was great.

Food was OK. The menu was very misleading. The vegan options were basically a plate full of rice and beans with everything else that is not Vegan removed from it even though it said it had cheese and other ingredients that could be vegan if they had vegan imitation cheese and so on. When we brought that piece of information to the waitress attention, she just said OK. Some of the food was good like the vegan chickpea pancake. The waffle, grilled cheese was so plain and unflavored. And the turkey sandwich had massive chunks of turkey that were not very pleasant to eat.

So this place was a home run. I don’t know about everything else, but for omelettes this place is a home run We arrived around 8:30 AM on a hot summer morning, to which we were promptly seated. Service was excellent, and the plus to the omelettes, the eggs used are Vital Farms. These are some of the best eggs you can buy for not only quality, but also taste really great. If you’re looking for a made your way omelettes place, then this is for you.

Bright, welcoming café with a creative brunch menu that satisfies vegetarians, vegans and classic breakfast lovers alike. The self-serve coffee is a bonus, and the vibe is lively and fun. I have the make your own omelet and it was good. Pricing leans upscale for a brunch spot, but the fresh ingredients and imaginative dishes make it worth a visit

A rare unicorn. In my experience, it seems like breakfast spots either have good food or good coffee, but seldom both. Cafe Patachou has amazing food and coffee. I had an omelet and my wife had a cuban bowl. Both were wonderful. Make sure you get some cinnamon toast to go. You won't regret it!

Takeout Restaurant
Bazbeaux is a popular pizza joint with locations in Broad Ripple, downtown on Mass Ave., and up in Carmel. Since its introduction in 1986, it has been serving creative thin- or thick-crust pies to locals and visitors alike. The crusts come in white, wheat, or gluten-free options and are known for being crisp and sturdy enough to support a variety of chunky toppings along with bubbly mozzarella and provolone.
Found this place on a top ten restaurant list on trip advisor and it did not disappoint! Me and my husband split the bayou chicken pizza and it was delicious! The crust was thin and crispy, the chicken was spicy and moist, and the sauce was tasty! Even the ranch was good! Our server was amazing too. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at Bazbeaux Pizza in Indianapolis. Our server, Evan, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and full of helpful suggestions. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the *Tchoupitoulas* pizza (being from Louisiana, the name definitely caught my eye), but Evan recommended it, and it turned out to be absolutely delectable. The flavors were unique and really well-balanced. I also ordered half *Colossus*, which was hearty and satisfying. While it might not be the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had, it was definitely very tasty and worth the visit. Overall, between the great food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service from Evan, Bazbeaux is a spot I’d definitely return to next time I’m in town. They could use a couple of TVs though because the game was on too.

We stopped in on a Friday night, so we expected it to be busy, but it was a little later in the evening and we were seated right away. There were a number of empty table, so we weren't expecting to wait on our food for almost an hour. The table next to us actually left before their food came because they felt they had waited too long. Our waiter was fine, and did seem to be doing a lot of running around in the dining room and outside, but wasn't particularly personable. The pizza was good, as were the salads, but there was quite a bit of icky brown lettuce in the Caesar. So, I would give this place another shot, but wasn't terribly impressed with my first experience there.

I was in the area for business and actually headed somewhere else for lunch when I walked past Baxbeaux and I smelled the amazing smell of pizza being baked, so I went in. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went in, but I did read previous reviews that were very positive. Upon going in, I saw it was a walk-up counter where you can order a slice or whole pie, drink, sides, etc. They had several pizzas made they were pulling slices from, but they weren’t re-heating them, just plating and providing. I opted for a slice of pepperoni with jalapeño and a drink. The pizza looked great, but the crust was cardboard hard and just as bland. The toppings tasted OK, but wasn’t great. The temperature of the pizza slice was cool too. Very disappointing considering how popular this place seems to be. Maybe a fresh pizza pie would be better, but based on the taste and texture of this crust, I highly doubt it. Sorry, but I don’t get the popularity of this place.

Let’s talk pizza. There are a lot of pizza places in this country. First you have the retail chain spots, then you get to the real deal pizza. This is a real deal here. No frozen sent in from a factory to reheat pizza here. This is a great spot on Mass Ave. they have several specialty pizzas to choose from or make your own with the most available toppings I’ve seen for pizza. Nothing here is bad. The flavor is amazing, fresh and the food is served hot. As a special for me they do serve coca-cola products. If you follow me then you get that. The restaurant is clean . The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Great food and great experience! It's a unique restaurant in a charmy area. The food and drinks were delicious! We came in from out of town and this was the unanimous recommended place to visit. I would recommend making a reservation in advance. They change their menu daily, and it was fresh and delicious! We walked through a starter, salad, entree, and dessert that two people shared for each course. Great food and service!

The hype for this place is totally worth it and I’m glad I got to experience their artistry in food and drinks. I was meeting a friend for a Friday night dinner. We were shown to the table upon arriving at our reservation. We ordered their famous fried Brussels sprouts, summer panzanella salad, Lumache and Vanilla cake for the dessert. Salad was a treat and the pasta was definitely one of the best I’ve had. Definitely going back to try more items from the menu.

Amazing food, excellent service and great ambience. Went to the restaurant with my niece and had heard good things. We started with the grilled bread and chips and dip. The bread was outstanding and had a selection of butters. The chips were okay but nothing that I would get again. Brussel sprouts were outstanding and had great flavor and texture. The ribeye was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor along with the grilled lettuce. My niece had one of the pasta dishes and she said it was delicious. We tried vanilla cake and peanut butter cake, both were outstanding. Highly recommend this restaurant and can see why it is so well reviewed!!

Milktooth is a trendy diner with a modern vibe and an outdoor patio, offering creative breakfast and brunch options along with espresso and cocktails. During the pandemic downtime, the dining room was refreshed, and the daytime menu went through some changes under the leadership of chef Esteban Rosas. The brunch menu features dishes like pan-seared grouper sandwich, flank steak chilaquiles, pistachio waffle, and strawberry-lemonade sourdough beignets.
The food here is excellent, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors that make it a top spot for brunch. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and delicious, making the wait worthwhile. However, be prepared for long wait times, especially on weekends, as it’s a popular place and tends to get crowded quickly. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, and the service remains attentive despite the rush. A fantastic choice if you have the time and patience to enjoy a quality brunch experience!

We came here because a travel YouTuber raved about this place. Let's start with the good... The presentation and unique menu items are definitely a plus. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit outside. My wife had the smash burger and iced matcha magic with lavender. I had the pastrami hash with an iced honey buzz latte. The food was okay. The smash burger had an odd combination of flavors and did not impress. It came with a pretty tasty side of fries. The pastrami hash included an egg, potatoes, carrots, onions, and mustard. It was nice but not something I would write home about. Overall, the portion sizes for the drinks and food were mediocre for the price. The food quality was very high however there is an included 20% gratuity which I am very much against. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't get why this place is so expensive.

We had a great time! The food and beverages were great and the server was very friendly. For the four of us with coffees, appetizers, and food it was upwards of $175, so the only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because I feel like it was slightly overpriced. But my complaints are purely fiscal, as the people, food, and atmosphere were all great!

So good - first went to Milktooth in 2017 and was enamored with the lamb burger they had at the time. Alas revisiting eight years later the burger was not there, but the menu still stays funky and tasty as ever. Started off with the brown butter latte which was as indulgent as it sounds. Had a big brunch spread: had the biscuits with goat cheese which were PHENOMENAL. Got a few sides like the strip and slab bacon which were really tasty (though I’d have preferred more slab bacon as the strips were a bit too dry for my taste). Got the peaches and cream dutch baby pancake which was just the perfect amount of sweet. Love that this places continues to thrive and have a huge following (8 years later and still waited 45 mins for a table).

Finally got to experience Milktooth's brunch this weekend and it honestly didn't really live up to the hype for me. We came on a Sunday afternoon and expected to wait (they're always busy and we knew this ahead of time). We were estimated 20-25 min for 2 people. We sat down to wait and after about 20 min, we decided to get drinks at the coffee bar. The drinks were very good and aesthetically pretty. Finally after 50 min of waiting, we went up to the host stand and our name was already crossed off. They must have forgotten about us. We were sat at the bar and it was pretty crammed to be honest. The food is all fresh and made to order but the portions are pretty small and overpriced.

Fancy fancy brunch spot in Indy. I was here with a friend for a Sunday morning brunch. They don’t take reservations, there’s a standard wait time of min 30 min. Their speciality coffees are absolutely amazing. We got their notorious fig, gochujang latte. Both are amazing. Their Dutch baby pancakes are definitely worth trying. I ordered their special peach and chantilly pancakes. The portions are moderate and the service is great.

The Aristocrat Pub & Oxford Room is a beloved local spot in Indianapolis, having been a mainstay since 1933. The pub offers a wide selection of over 60 craft beers and serves up delicious pub fare in a restored vintage setting. Known for its famous pork tenderloin, the restaurant also features private upstairs dining for special events like weddings and birthdays.
Actually picked up an order to go here on a trip somewhere and we're very impressed by everything. Strawberry Blues Salad was so perfectly fresh and delicious! Came with strawberries and cantaloupe and I would not have expected this ever having cantaloupe in a salad and actually liking it! There was some goat cheese in the salad went so well with everything else going on. Very big portion size on this as well which I am very grateful for. For the sandwich, we actually picked the grill the tenderloin instead of the fried one to save some calories and it was a very good decision. People say that the sandwich can be a bit dry but this was actually lovely. We made a proper sandwich out of it with some lettuce and onion and some pickles as well and this was quite a flavorful one. 10/10 recommend! Because I strong as you had a really nice aesthetic Vibe and he would have loved to actually stay there and eat.

I came for the famous Hoosier Tenderloin Sandwich 🥪and it did not disappoint. The fried pork tenderloin was as big as my face 🤣and it was big enough for me to eat two meals in one sitting. It was perfectly seasoned 🧂and fried. Make sure to get the french fries! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the outside. Hostess was very welcoming and the server, Mitchell, was personable and friendly. If you are looking for a quintessential Hoosier meal with a fun pub vide, Aristocrat is the place to be!

2nd time here, was good. Brushetta was good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Pork tenderloin sandwich was good as before, best thung weve tried there so far, better with fries than chips. House chips just okay. Schnitzel would have been better if was like the pork for the sandwich. Cottage pie was dry, not enough madhed potatoes. House chips were just okay. Parking limited and tight. Nice atmosphere. Would go again.

This is our 1 night in town and we chose Arisocrat Pub. We almost didn't go because parking was so tight for our 2500 chevy pick up. But, a spot on the street opened up and we made it. We sat in the patio, which was very nice. Our server Alley greeted us with a smile. We started off with a lemon drop and straight up martinis. We hade French Onion Soup and a pub salad. Both were very good. My wife had the wild mushroom Raviolis (so good). I had the cottage pie, marinated hamburger meat and veggies, topped with mashed potatoes, and cheese. It was so good and filling. Our server Alley was so sweet, she took a pic of us, then joined my wife for a picture to add to our trip memories. We're a long way from California, so glad we stopped here.

Updated Review (Visited 8/3/25): My wife and I returned early evening on August 3rd. I hesitated to post this because we genuinely like this place—but for contrast, I’m including my previous review below. This visit, my wife stuck with a proven winner: the breaded pork tenderloin. As always, it looked great, tasted even better, and was big enough to take some home. No complaints there. I went with the Reuben sandwich. Not bad, but it felt a bit light on the ingredients. Still, the main reason for this update is the appetizers. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip with nachos—solid choice. But I also wanted onion rings. I asked to sub them for the chips that came with my sandwich, but that wasn’t an option. You can only get onion rings as a separate appetizer. Fine, a little annoying, but whatever. The real issue? The onion rings were awful. Clearly frozen, straight out of a bag, and tasted like it. I love onion rings, but these were a mess, flavorless letdown. It’s not that hard to slice an onion, batter it, and fry it fresh. Not only does it cost less for the restaurant in the long run, but when done right, the result is far better—crispy, flavorful, and worth eating. These were not. I had to send them back which is something I have rarely done. Everything else we’ve had here has been great, which is why we keep coming back. But please, ditch the frozen onion rings. You’re better than that. (Previous Review Below for Contrast): Back for our second visit today at dinner around 6pm on 9/20. Classy is your first impression, lots of beautiful woodworking. Tastefully decorated with lots to look at, very folksy. Plenty of seating choices inside and out. Cozy booths and tables await you inside and an elegant bar. Outside plenty of seating with overhead fans when necessary. We sat outside this time around the weather was good and we enjoyed ourselves street side dining. The food here is very good and pleasantly priced. There was a very steady stream of people coming and going. Very busy here, parking could be your challenge, they have a small parking lot some street parking is available you’ll have to be quick. Today we got the - Super Nachos for $14 - STACKED CORN TORTILLAS, CHEESE SAUCE, PICO DE GALLO, CILANTRO AND MEXICAN QUESO FRESCO CHEESE. CHOOSE: AVOCADO, BLACK BEAN, OR CHICKEN this could easily be a four person appetizer. (It’s huge) And both of us choose the - The Hoosier Tenderloin $16 A CENTER CUT FRESH PORK LOIN, SEASONED BREADING, AND FRIED OR GRILLED we both got the breaded tenderloin I got fries and she got broccoli for sides. The Tenderloin’s huge pounded thin breaded and crispy fried. Absolutely delicious the French fries were snappy and perfect. The broccoli was smothered in butter and very tender and tasty. This is a great place to stop by for a bite. They have a large interesting menu, that deserves an eat through. 😊 We look forward to a return trip. We had a great time, good service and wonderful food.

Delicia is a vibrant New Latin supper club that has been captivating diners since its inception in 2013. Nestled on College Avenue, this trendy spot offers an innovative take on Latin American cuisine, blending flavors from the Americas, Caribbean, and Spain. Signature dishes like the Fire n Ice—an enticing mix of habanero, hibiscus, and basil—and delectable options featuring octopus or roasted duck enchiladas are must-tries for dinner enthusiasts.
I started my dining experience at Delicia with a red sangria and they did not skimp on the brandy and it was all uphill from there. The food at Delicia is bursting with flavor. The fresh ingredients in the guacamole were flavored with lime and kissed with pistachios and jalapeños on the top and served with warm chips. My goodness I thought there’s no way it’ll get better than that, but it did… My husband ordered the pulpo grilled braised octopus with toasted red potatoes salad, spanish salsa verse and fried lemon, that’s right you’re reading it right, fried lemon and garlic. For entrees I ordered the Elote pistachio crusted scallops with cauliflower puree(smooth and creamy) and a corn succotash. The flavors married really well and did a happy dance in my mouth with each bite. I gave the dish the clean plate award. It was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. My husband had the Cazuela De Mariscos mussels, calamari, shrimp, smoked bay scalloped and rice bathe in a white wine saffron sauce and grilled baguettes. He wolf the delectable seafood dish down, but we didn’t stop there. He ordered the Churros with a chocolate ganache sauce and I had the cut into a wedge bread pudding encircled with creamy dulce de leche cream anglaise and pepitas. Both desserts were delicious.

Thai Spice in Indianapolis is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine! This cozy restaurant delivers a vibrant dining experience that keeps me coming back. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a homey decor that makes you feel right at home, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. The menu is a Thai food lover’s dream, offering a wide range of dishes from classic Pad Thai to flavorful curries and seafood specialties. I started with the Chicken Satay, which was perfectly grilled and served with a creamy peanut sauce and refreshing cucumber dip—delicious! For my main, I went with the Massaman Curry, and it was a flavor explosion, with just the right balance of spice, peanuts, and coconut milk. The portions are generous, and I loved that they cater to various dietary needs, including vegan and vegetarian options like the Tofu Tod and Spring Rolls. The service is top-notch—staff are friendly, attentive, and quick to offer suggestions, making the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the fast service, whether dining in or ordering delivery through platforms like Seamless or DoorDash. The Thai Iced Tea was a perfect complement to the meal, sweet and refreshing. Thai Spice consistently earns its stellar 4.5-star reputation, and it’s easy to see why with their fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and excellent value. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Indianapolis, this is a must-visit spot for Thai food done right. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to try the Pineapple Fried Rice and Tom Yum Soup!

A friend told me about Thai Spice—and I’m glad they did! The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are just right. I don’t make it to the south side of Indianapolis often, but this place makes me want to change that. I’ll definitely be back.

We were in town for the day and looking to grab dinner before a long drive home. I am both so glad we stopped at Thai Spice and so disappointed. The food was amazing. Best Pad Thai we’ve ever had. Disappointing because we live two hours away and can’t come back easily. We will for sure visit again though, if we’re ever back out this way. My 9 year old loved the Pad Thai. My husband got the Panang Curry with extra vegetables, and it was actually extra veggies. I had the Pad See Ew and it actually had a great amount of veggies too. We’re used to our local places just loading up on noodles and less “extras.” Our server said they’ve had the same recipes for more than 20 years. So delicious.

I’ve never had better Thai food (and over the years I’ve had a lot of different offerings on their menu including curries, thin and thick noodles, fish, soups, apps, etc.) nor have I ever had more generous servings than right here at Thai Spice. And I mean generous. I usually get 3-4 meals out of one of my Thai Spice dishes when I take it to go, so the prices are worth it even though they’ve of course increased. Also I feel for the most part they take me seriously when I ask for a spicy level. Thai Spice usually makes me sweat around medium-hot. At other places I’d have to ask for Thai hot for the same experience. The food is 5 stars, and I would say otherwise the experience is average. Service is as expected. I haven’t dined in, in a while. For a while there were boxes and storage all over one half of the restaurant that really took away from the fun lighting and the bathrooms they had to otherwise set the ambiance, but I THINK this was addressed last time I was there.

I’ve been coming to Thai Spice since before my son was born (he’s almost 19). In fact, the owner was pregnant with her daughter at the same time I was pregnant. There is NO Thai restaurant that compares to Thai Spice. In fact, I’ve tried numerous but they all are sub par. Even though I’ve moved near Zionsville, if I find myself near Greenwood, we have to get Thai Spice.

Nestled in the heart of Indianapolis, Lincoln Square Pancake House is a delightful diner that beckons breakfast lovers with its extensive menu featuring hearty pancakes topped to perfection, scrumptious omelets, and satisfying sandwiches. This family-owned gem prides itself on offering a no-frills dining experience where you can indulge in classic breakfast favorites like the Spinach, Bacon, and Tomato Eggs Benedict or spice things up with their Chimichanga Breakfast Burrito.
Another place not far from the Airbnb and we were looking for breakfast. The omelet was one of the best I’ve ever had. The hash browns were crispy yet soft no on the inside. The biscuits and gravy were okay, good flavor. My favorite was probably the smoked sausage. Great place for breakfast. Service was quick, food came out fast, the staff were great. Definitely recommend.

This was a delightful way to start the day. Food was awesome. Forgot to take pictures before starting, but figured some pictures are better than no pictures. We got the biscuit and gravy platter and blueberry stuffed pancakes. Our server Shannon was so pleasant and really set a lovely tone for the rest of our day. Also, they have these cute ducks with little hats in a claw machine by the front door.

This is exactly what we were looking for in a pancake house. Huge plates, lots of familiar options, and a large dining room. The service was impressive, down to the hostess. The food came out quickly, and it was delicious. Nothing revolutionary. Just good food. I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich and couldn't even finish it all. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a family-diner, type of option.

I went with a friend to Lincoln square late morning. Our server was friendly and helpful and answered whatever question that we had. We received our food quickly hot off the grill. And as I remember still delicious! My friend had never tried their freshly squeezed orange juice so we shared one glass since I'm not supposed to be drinking that. She loved it so I know next time we go she'll be getting it. Once again I have to give Lincoln square downtown five stars because of the price, quality, service, and overall greatness.

If you want to mingle with politicos, biz types, and journalists who cover them at a burger joint in Haughville, this is your spot. The cheeseburger here is the best in the state, and it's served with a thin, crisp-edged burger that's smashed and fried on a well-seasoned griddle. You'll also want to try the onion rings.
Got the referral to try this place from a donut shop employee down the street. Loved the Midwestern "working man" atmosphere, obviously a local favorite. Seated ourselves at the empty end of a table, quick, friendly service by hardworking staff and great food! Shared a giant, double cheeseburger with onion rings and a bowl of chili. Must taste even better on colder days. It's a cash only business, they also have a full bar. Totally recommend it and would love to bring the whole family next time we're back in Indy.

!! CASH ONLY !! This. Is a dive bar. Know that going in. Kinda grungy on the outside, smells of fryer grease. A Red Robin it’s not. Which is why I love it. This place has probably the best smash burger I’ve had in a long time. Edges so crisp it practically crunches when you chew it. Fresh fries. Friendly but busy staff. And lots of regulars coming and going. The soda comes in cans, but the beer comes in chalices. No joke. So come here for a burger, if you can. They know what they’ve got here, and are only open very limited hours to serve it. It’s worth making the time for.

Workingman's Friend is about as honest as you can get in the lunchtime blue-collar diner space. They don't pretend to be some overpriced, flashy restaurant. The restaurant was busy for the Friday lunch rush. Waitresses were doing a great job of taking orders, cleaning tables and welcoming new patrons. I ordered the double cheeseburger with fries and my wife ordered the Diet Plate. The smashburgers were cooked to perfection! Great seasoning without overpowering the beef flavor, crispy edges without being overdone. Burger toppings were very fresh. My fries were good, but not outstanding. The veggies on my wife's diet plate were very fresh and delicious. I felt like the prices were very good for the quality of service and quality of food!

Waited a very long time come here not only for the burger, but also for the history. If you’ve never been, I recommend doing that. As for the burger, I had the Giant Double. The patties were perfect with excellent crust, lacy crisp edges, and still juicy. I’ve read negative things about the service, but out of the 5 times I have I’ve gotten very friendly and prompt service. If you’ve never imbibe, don’t pass on the missive, frosty drafts on tap. I 100% recommend this place for the food and the history.

2 of the giant double cheeseburgers, order of onion rings, chili with onion & shredded cheddar cheese, and can of coke runs about $34. With tip makes $40... and worth every penny (CASH ONLY). Everyone having good time visiting. Have had the tenderloin as well and it is one of the best I've had a well. Walls echo so much it is too hard to hear person right next to you... no problem. Hard to chit chat with a big dbl cheese smash burger in your pie hole 😂 That chili is perfect just like mom used to make. Clean out the couch cushions and your car change drawer or whatever it takes to come get ya some!

Saw this place on Tik Tok and had to try it out. We came at a really busy time. We had to wait for seating, which I expected. We ended up sharing a table with another couple, which was fine. We ordered our food and an alcoholic drink and waters. We got our alcoholic drinks right away, food in about 40 minutes, but we never got waters, and the server never returned to us until she brought the bill. I would have liked water to wash down my meal and probably would have ordered another cocktail as well. During busy times, I would suggest they have more help with tables. The smash burger was the best I've ever had. I would go back, but I would hope it would be a bit better service next time.

Classic, old-school feel and taste. This spot came up on several lists of places one must visit in the city. They are known for their smashburgers - always fresh, never frozen. It's not at all far from Downtown, maybe 10-15 minutes away. The ambience was a large, very open, very clean, no fuss diner. Simple menu, straightforward reasonable (leaning towards cheap) prices. It seems most patrons order the double cheeseburger. I opted for a single once I saw the double land on someone else's table as I went to order. The single and fries filled me up good. The burger was hot, fresh off the griddle. The crunchy crust I expected from a smashburger was not there but that was fine with me. The burger came on a standard bun and was topped with a slice of american cheese, lettuce and tomato (I didn't want raw onion), mayo, and dill pickles provided on the side. Fries were hot and crunchy. It was a satisfying, homemade tasting burger. Only recommendation would be seasoning the meat. I did not detect even a hint of salt. Some salt, pepper and a lil onion powder would take this burger to the next level and make it a burger that can'tve forgotten. And I would ask for grilled onions if I found myself here again. The service was so friendly. I read many have to wait for a table but I walked in and sat right away at 1pm on a Tuesday. All told, I was in and out (no pun intended) the door in under 30mins. For the experience of nostalgia and the price, I definitely recommend a visit.

Great time with friends. The strawberry spinach salad was very, very good. The music excellent! The service could have been better. I really wanted dessert, but the waitstaff just brought my check without asking if any of us wanted anything else. Once I'm closed out by the person serving me, I will not continue to order. I did mention to her she should ask if anyone wants dessert or anything before bringing the bill over. The carrot cake was calling my name, 😆. She got a nasty attitude stating she told the host what time she was closing the checks since there was another show after us. I was instantly confused asking what host? Her response the friend that arrived first. This made zero sense, I did not order through the host I ordered with her. All good, it was definitely reflected in her service nonservice payment. One should always ask if anyone wants more before closing the tip.

I saw a fantastic jazz band performance here. They were top notch musicians and the music was beautiful. I ordered a vegetarian dish that was quite good and my wife was happy with her food. She wanted a cocktail and tried to order a "perfect gentleman", but the waitress said there were no "perfect gentleman" available any more... She got something else and was happy with that. Morale of the story, you can't always get a "perfect gentleman", but you can find something that this is perfectly good. We sat in a corner booth not facing the stage of TV. We were in the room next to the room with the stage, We couldn't see the stage. I liked it that way. There was only one tv showing the show to the room next to the stage room. So if a couple sat at some of the tables, one person's back would be to the TV. Tip to the owners, mount 2 more TV's., or not. I liked being tucked in a corner booth with my wife. The music was the foreground sonically, but visually we were the other's cynosure. If there were 2 more TVs, it would remove the exact situation I preferred. It's great how it is. You could buy tickets early and show up for the show early if you want to be up close to the band. We were 10 minutes late, and still very happy with our seating. She loved dessert too, ice cream and bread pudding. I fully recommend checking it out.

Definitely a great spot to go if you’re looking for something different to do for a night out. There’s a nice covered patio area if you’re just coming for dinner, too! Parking can be a bit tricky in the area, but overall isn’t too hard to find. I didn’t manage to get many pictures, I was so in the moment, but would 100% like to come back at some point!

I’ve had the Fork and Knife burger (trust, a fork and/or knife is not needed), and I feel it’s one of Indy’s best burgers.

Back at Petit Chu today with the wife and daughter. They both went with their go-to: the “Le Club”—a housemade pain de mie stacked with aioli, avocado, bacon, arugula, and chicken, paired with a petite bibb salad. It’s a refined, French-inspired twist on the classic club sandwich, and for them, it hits the spot every time. I decided to switch it up. Went with the Knife & Fork Burger: Camembert, Bordelaise, arugula, aioli, on a housemade brioche bun, with duck fat pommes frites on the side. No exaggeration—this was hands down the juiciest, most flavorful burger I’ve ever had. The flavors were bold but balanced, and the texture of the brioche held it all together perfectly. And those duck fat fries? Ridiculous. Rich, crispy, and loaded with flavor. Service and atmosphere are always top-notch here. If you’re coming for breakfast, the coffee’s strong, the omelets are spot-on, and the vibe is warm without trying too hard. Only gripe: it’s a little pricey—but not unreasonable. For the quality of ingredients and the care in execution, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth. We always enjoy ourselves here. Already looking forward to the next visit.

First visit to Petite Chou. We were seated outside on this beautiful day. We had about a 10min wait, very reasonable for 11:30 on a Sunday. Unfortunately, our server took quite some time to come to our table, so we opted to place our food order at the same time as our drink order. A bit more than an hour passed between when we were seated and when our food arrived. I ordered the French Onion Grilled Cheese, looking forward to the joining of two of my favorites. My meal left quite a bit to be desired. About 3oz of French onion soup for dipping my 3”x3.5” sandwich. The sandwich was overly toasted, cutting the inside of my mouth when chewing. I cut the sandwich into bitesize pieces so I could try to soften the bread in the soup, it was still too hard. The quality and quantity of my meal was not worth $18. Overall, I was very disappointed. Best part of the experience was time with my sister.

Sat outside in front under the covered patio for lunch. Nice vibe and great food. The fries reminded me of sandwich machine fries from back in the day, they were nostalgic and very good, perfectly crisp and satisfying. The tofu bahn mi was very good, I like my tofu soft and I appreciated that they did not fry it or over cook it to death. The only part that I wished was better is the bread. I felt it was too soft and should be more like a french loaf instead of hoagie roll. But I get it, the shelf life of hoagie roll lasts longer. The eskovitch mahi po boy was great, fish cooked perfectly, nice acidity from the onion and peppers. Again, the bread was the only thing I wasn't a huge fan of, same hoagie roll. The cheese curds are the best I have ever had, I mean perfectly fried and the cheese is all stretchy and melty. They dont over batter, its just at the right amount. I would estimate the app is enough for 3 or 4 people. Two of us struggled to finish it from the generous portion. We will be back, definitely a hidden gem if you want bar food but still want some good healthier options available on the menu.

Pho Saigon is a laid-back eatery that specializes in authentic Vietnamese cuisine, offering a delightful array of dishes such as pho, rice plates, and hot pots. The menu features locally sourced ingredients and frequently changes to keep things fresh. Diners rave about the flavorful beef pho and crispy crab Rangoons, both praised for their taste and texture. Vegetarian options are always available, making it an inclusive spot for various dietary preferences.
We tried Pho Saigon on a whim because it was close to where we had an appointment that afternoon. We love Vietnamese food so we tried it. It was a good choice. The fried egg rolls were very good. The chicken curry was nice and spicy and hot. It would have been a great way to warm up on a cold day. The frozen Thai tea was an interesting twist.

Had pho special and it was very good. Broth was good, I heard that since the ownership change the broth is not authentic and slightly off. The vegetables were fresh and not spoiled. The quantity could be improved. Online prices were not updated.

Service was quick and food served hot. The best flavor came from the chili crisp. The pho broth was OK. The way the won ton was wrapped like a purse affected the texture and taste of the won ton. The thickness of the won ton wrap gave a doughy thick pasty taste.

Pros: - nice atmosphere, very polite servant - the order was ready pretty fast (we only had to wait around 10 minutes) - very delicious food (we had pho beef & meatballs, bun bo Hue, Ngo sen salad for 2 people) - 1 meal per person is more than enough to get full Cons: I wanted to order everything on the menu but I couldn’t cause I can’t eat all of them P.S 20% mandatory tip is included in the bill. Total cost for 1 meal for me was $15.54 with the tip and tax.

It’s sad that the quality of the food has declined to the point where I have to write a review. I’ve eaten here 5 times. The first three times were outstanding. The fourth time, I came with a friend. She got sick after eating the pho with meatballs and spent the following several hours vomiting. I did not get sick. The fifth (and last time), I ordered my usual: spring rolls, pho with tendon, and an iced coffee. I had never gotten sick from this order but I was not so lucky this time. Beginning at 3AM, I had diarrhea which lasted about 6 hours. I had to call off work training that day. I am extremely disappointed with this restaurant and will not be eating here again. If you value your money, avoid this restaurant at all costs.

There was hardly chicken with my chicken pho. I called 3 times and no one could speak to me about it. The amount of chicken wouldn’t even feed a toddler! Plus I did tip!! This was my 3rd visit and it’s normally ok but this time was a no go.

Chao Vietnamese Street Food is a popular spot known for its quick and healthy Vietnamese street food-style cooking. The menu is focused, offering a selection of traditional dishes like pho, banh mi sandwiches, and bun noodle dishes. Guests can also enjoy fusion creations such as Vietnamese tacos with caramelized pork belly and pickled vegetables. The restaurant has garnered praise for its fresh and authentic offerings, with the traditional pho being highly recommended.
Traveling for business and stopped in for a bite and was left completely impressed! The bao buns were pillowy soft and packed with juicy, flavorful pork belly, balanced perfectly with pickled veggies and a tangy sauce. Each bite was satisfying and full of texture. The cucumber and pork salad was another highlight—refreshing, crunchy, and vibrant with a hint of sweetness and heat. It paired especially well with the house-made sriracha-style sauce (a must-try if you like a little kick!). What really elevated the experience was the service. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made great recommendations without being overbearing. From start to finish, it felt like they genuinely cared about ensuring a great dining experience. It's definitely a spot worth returning to—great food, a relaxed vibe, and top-notch hospitality.

Nothing about this restaurant is the Vietnamese theme so as far as atmosphere for a date…it looks kind of upstartish. I ordered the lunch special pork banh mi and chicken pho paid extra for the vegetables plate on the egg rolls too. I had explained did not like spice and the waitress was very understanding when I sent the egg roll sauce back due to it having pepper flakes in it. She was not understanding about being asked a to-go box on her next trip out to check in guests. She seemed out. The pho was horrible to me. Very bland. Need lots of lime. I was desperate for some flavor- salt or msg something please? The vegetables on both the egg rolls and pho plates were wilted. The daikon tasted weird- not fermented long enough? The pork banh mi had fat in it I didn’t want. I guess I will continue to hold out for Pho #1. This ain’t it

My oldest daughter is an adventurous eater and she introduced me to Vietnamese food a year or so ago while we were traveling for softball. Now traveling for softball with my youngest less-adventurous daughter, she and I got an order of pho tai, pork belly baos, and a lemongrass spring roll all to split. It was phenomenal. The order was carry out, but the place had a super cozy feel. Service was quick and seamless.

Went on a weekend with 2 others, all with light appetites. Very busy, but somehow managed to quickly obtain a table without reservations. Initial confusion, since lunch plates are only served weekdays. We only ordered one entrée to share (Sweet and Sour Chicken); plus one extra side of fried rice; plus three small bowls of soup (Egg Drop, Hot and Sour, and Wonton.) Our waiter was very friendly, and he brought out three small empty plates to share for the entrée, without us asking. Food was enjoyed by all, and there was plenty of it for our three light appetites. Soup went from steaming hot to comfortably hot quickly, maybe from the surface area ratio of the small size. I believe this is more of an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, but that also serves Americanized Chinese dishes (such as we ordered.) A couple of muted TV screens for the bored. Sriracha bottles at tables. Beer is on the menu, seemingly alone for alcoholic beverages. We received spoons, forks and chopsticks; no knives, but maybe those are also available if requested? Very pleased with food, service, and pricing. The best deals are probably those weekday lunches, tho.

I was craving fried rice and lo mein, so I decided to stop by for the lunch special. I was highly disappointed when I opened my tray. My rice was so dry and hard, and there was a piece of hair in it. The egg roll was burned as well. I just got off work, and if I wasn’t tired, I would’ve just driven back up there. I called to let them know about the food. I was told they make the same batch the same way every day. She apologized and said idk it’s the same batch repeatedly. That was it; I had the fried rice before, but it wasn’t the lunch; it was the entree. It was fire. I guess if you order lunch, you get a different batch . Sadly, I won't be back . If it was my establishment I would’ve automatically remade it fresh. I attached my photos down below . The entree of fried rice I had back in September and the food I had today 😞. Maybe it was a bad day, but regardless, if you have great customer service, you can always come back.

After a long drive back from vacation, we were craving something homey, comforting, and not greasy—and we stumbled upon this charming Vietnamese restaurant that did not disappoint! We ordered two large bowls of pho, which were incredibly generous portions for the price. The food was authentic and delicious, and the family running the place was warm and attentive. While the dining area didn’t have A/C—which can be a bit tough on a hot summer day—it didn’t take away from the great experience. We’ll definitely be tagging this spot for future road trips through Indy!

Honesty, I love this place. They have great food. I love their spring rolls the best. The last time I came here, the noodle soup was a sweet for some reason. There weren’t as much noodles as there was before. I had to give this a four star because the service wasn’t as good as it used to be. I never got asked if my food was okay or if I needed anything unlike the other customers there. Overall, they have amazing food.

Tastes and looks like they hate to go orders, very unfortunate. I could have been a frequent customer. The tofu was overly fried, barely any fresh toppings, the bread was the only good part, but I know they didnt make the bread so kudos to your bread supplier. The rice completely flavorless and the frozen veg was gross. Shrimp was not cleaned, over cooked, and tasted bad quality. One of the worst fried rice I have had, had to throw away. I have sat down and eaten the kimchi pho here before and it was ok, nothing to come back to, the kimchi they use is not good quality.

Editing to add it’s been like two years since this original post and I’ve yet to find better pho in Indy. We still eat here all of the time. This is definitely the best pho I’ve had. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always perfect. The staff is great, egg rolls are super delicious, one bowl of pho is insanely filling. My favorite is the classic steak pho, #32 and a honeydew bubble tea. The kimchi pho is great as well. There’s also vegetarian options here :) I cannot recommend pho tasty enough. I have introduced a lot of people to it and now they all love it too! It’s clean and the service is great. It’s also the best cure all when you’re not feeling well or have had a little too much to drink the night before.

I stopped in this morning for bagels for my wife, daughter and myself. The guy taking my order asked how my weekend was. I couldn’t help myself and said it was terrible. Shared that we were down at Riley Children’s hospital for our daughter. He was empathetic and said we’d be in his prayers. Imagine my surprise when I found a Scotcheroo and Tootie Pop in the bottom of the bag for my daughter! Such a kind, human gesture. Ripple Bagel has always been a favorite spot when we come into town.

It’s been ~20 years since I’ve been here, and it was everything I remembered… SEC on everything is the only way to judge a bagel, and this hit the spot.

I was really looking forward to eating the food here. I love Pho but this was not it. The broth is strangely sweet and has a weird taste. The broth what is makes Pho stand out compared to other soups out there. My other problem is not a lot of toppings. Pho is also known for having big portions, enough to have left-overs for home. 5 pieces of shrimp, no veggies (besides the optional side veggies) and half a cup of rice noodles is not enough. I recommend Pho Saigon. Same prices, better portions and delicious broth.

We have been to Modita two times. The service and atmosphere of Modita have been wonderful both times, but the food has been average especially considering the price point. On our latest visit, we got the salmon uramaki roll but the salmon was inexplicably seared rather than raw. We did enjoy cocktails and mocktails, which seem to be Modita's strong suit.

Their menu has something for everyone from classic Vietnamese cuisine, Thai, and American Chinese style food. Their lunch special is a steal for $8.99, which definitely worth checking out. Meals are hearty, filling, and delicious!

Nestled in a red brick building on East 10th Street, 10th Street Diner is a trendy vegan eatery with an industrial-chic vibe. The menu features a variety of plant-based comfort foods, including fried pickles, chili fries, and hearty salads. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or meat-eater looking to explore new flavors, this diner has something for everyone.
If u haven't ate somewhere and said Lawd have mercy..while u were eating. You haven't had good food. This place, is a must try!! Vegan options, great customer service, and easy to navigate to. The Buffalo chicken sandwich is what I ordered, and it is so tasty.🤗😋 The buffalo sauce is just right, spicy but not hot. And the fries were perfect, with a bit of crunch but not greasy at all. We spent about $17 each for our meals. I will mos def, be visiting again💯😘

I was greeted when I walked in. The restaurant was cute inside with vegan decor. I went in for lunch but realized they had a selected brunch menu on the weekends. The lemonade was good. I was starving and ordered more food than I could eat. I had a spicy chicken biscuit (which wasn't spicy at all), side order of biscuits and gravy (VERY flavorful), and an order of potatoes. The potatoes weren't my favorite but was edible. I'd definitely try this place again. My total for everything was around $20 or so and the food was hot for the most part.

Lunch with family. Ordered chili/cheese fries, gyro, burger, chorizo chimichanga and crunch wrap. Everything was delicious and tasty. Serving sizes were generous, enough to finish all, or save a little for later. Prices were standard rate for eating an entree at a restaurant, not too expensive. The interior dining area was cozy and no frills. Nice little spot to hang and enjoy your meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, whether or not they are looking for vegan dining.

My sons, nephews, and I all enjoyed our food. We are vegan, but my nephews aren't, and they loved their food as well! And I'm sad I didn't get a picture of our brussel sprouts. They were so delicious and the boys were eating them as soon as they got to the table. Something for everybody. And the restaurant is so cute with a homey industrial decor.

Old school dinner serving an all vegan menu. We went during Saturday and had Brunch. I had a Monte Cristo with a side of devine baked apples. My wife had biscuits and gravy with a spicy chicken biscuit sandwich.The sandwich wasn't spicy, but it was fantastic! My daughter had the Cherry Cream Cheese pancakes. They were amazing! I ended up taking home a piece of carrot cake home along with a S'mores cookie. All and all the place is a must stop for great vegan food in Indianapolis! I look forward to trying their menu again when I return to visit my wife's family.

Sizzling Wok is a discreet establishment renowned for its personalized Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine, featuring an extensive selection of delectable dishes and flavorful pho broth. Despite its name, this eatery also offers bubble tea, which should not be overlooked. The bubble tea is fresh, delightful, and reasonably priced—a perfect complement to the exceptional food. Located on Lafayette Road in northwest Indianapolis, Sizzling Wok predominantly serves Vietnamese fare but also includes Chinese options on their menu. Open from 11 a.
The food was fresh and very flavorful. The service was very nice and comforting. It’s just a little sweet lady and a man working when I was in today. I over heard how business has slowed down for them this year around. So if you are in the area check them out!

Second attempt at finding the perfect Indianapolis Vietnamese crepe / pancake. The crepe wasn't the texture i expected, a bit more greasy and doughy. While those descriptors may be off putting the product was nice. The spices and flavors of ingredients were good, it was a very full crepe and while the shrimp were a little shrimpy they were generous, the pork had great flavor and it was packed with fresh sprouts, and it did have a crisp exterior though not the crispy crunch i expected. Quality fish sauce, i tried the beef rolls as well and they were average but fine. The service was prompt and hospitable. I fully anticipate this crepe making it to the Indy finals. Small dining area as expected from a strip mall location however cleaner and cuter than predicted. Super reasonable prices also a major win.

The Flatiron @ The Point on Penn, located in downtown Indianapolis, is a three-in-one restaurant that offers a cozy and pub-like atmosphere. Chef Glenn Brown, known for his expertise in vintage American cuisine, has revived the storied Elbow Room with straightforward yet expertly prepared dishes such as pork chops, chicken, shrimp, and steak presented with fine-dining flair.
As always, can't help but laugh at the 1-star reviews. I stopped in on a Tuesday evening, so pretty quiet, but I loved it. Sat at the bar. Great old school atmosphere. Food was excellent. Zero complaints.

Traveled here for work with some colleagues. The places don’t look like much from the outside or inside. However the vintage charm goes well with the American fare. We were all pleasantly surprised with the freshness and taste of the food. Not a single item we ordered was bad. Everything was delicious and well seasoned. They also were able to accommodate a group of 10 of us last minute. Definitely recommend this hole in the wall near downtown Indianapolis.

If you are downtown and looking for a fabulous restaurant. I highly recommend The Point on Penn! We stumbled upon it last night before a show at Scottish Rite. Chef Brown knocks it out of the park! The crunchy sourdough bread with roasted garlic bits, the sea bass topped with shrimp and a risotto croquet , the crispy shrimp with brussel sprout risotto..amazing! Our server Violet was so sweet and helpful! This neat little restaurant holds a little secret in the basement, but you have to find the password in the bar to get in! Rumor has it Al Capone used to drink in this very same space! We met the Chef and his wife and they are just so sweet and down to earth… I'm not sure there is a better place in Indy!

This is the absolute best food my wife and I have ever had. We couldn’t find anything whatsoever that was displeasing about The Flatiron. The atmosphere was amazing if you want to just chill and enjoy a couple of drinks and seriously the best food we have ever had. Well worth every penny. I work my tail off being away from my family and can’t stand giving my hard earned money to people that don’t work just as hard or being disappointed at food you could have made at home. This is going to be my wife and I new must go spots for special occasions. Thank you Flatiron for everything.

A little off the beaten path from the convention center but worth it. It was not crowded and conversation was easy. The head chefs attention to detail is impressive. The food was delicious in the service very good. Highly recommend if you're in indianapolis. The bone-in ribeye steak was delicious and the others enjoyed their salmon and pork and hamburgers. The service was excellent. Also the wine list had very good quality and selection. Lastly, the bathrooms were exceedingly clean.

Food quality is excellent, atmosphere is excellent, drinks are excellent. All the staff are friendly. I’d like to see the City of Indianapolis support this establishment much better. The FlatIron is rated in the top 25 restaurants in Indy. If you haven’t visited yet, I encourage you to do so. You won’t be disappointed.

This place doesn't just serve food. They serve works of art designed to take your pallet to another level. our server was on it, our food came out perfectly cooked in a timely manner, considering we had a decent sized party. But the magic of this restaurant is the consistency. I have never in my life had to send back a plate out of this kitchen. I am known for being a very critical when it comes to my steaks and am guilty of sending it back until I get what I ordered, especially if I'm paying more for a higher quality experience. This place is my go to when I take my wife "somewhere nice" because this is fine dine the way it should be. If you have specific dietary needs I challenge you to speak to the chef and trust him to make you something off menu to ensure your experience is one you won't forget.

Flat Iron is my favorite restaurant in Indy. Have been eating there since 7-4-20. Locally owned, great fun friendly staff. Food is fresh and from scratch, not frozen. Lobser bisque and pork belly alfredo fries are always delicious starters! Can not go wrong with anything on the menu and the specials are always spot on! This is also the spot for my favorite Espresso Martini in town!! Amazing older building with original back bar that used to be The Elbow Room. Stop in and enjoy a delicious visit!!

Very nice and polite staff that really try to make sure you’re having a good experience. Food came out in good time, was fresh and hot and tasty. They were very generous with the amount of meat in my bún bò huế. If I had to give one but if constructive criticism, it would be to make the broth even richer in flavour to bring out the flavours. After I left, I realized I could not find my phone and had my friend call the restaurant and they told me they had my phone and would hold it while I came back for it. I really appreciated the honesty and integrity of the server/host, not everyone has those qualities these days and it made me appreciate pho 21 even more. All in all, the food was good and fresh and I would definitely recommend Pho 21 to anyone!

When’s the last time you saw standing room only at 11 AM and a sandwich under $10? That’s exactly what I found at the Friendly Tavern in Zionsville—and it did not disappoint. I was lucky to get a seat at the bar and was greeted with excellent service from Debbie—super friendly and attentive. I went with the breaded tenderloin (because that’s how you judge a good Indiana tavern), and it was absolutely fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, and huge! I’ve heard great things about their burgers and wings too, so I’ll definitely be back to try more. Great food, great prices, and a welcoming hometown vibe. A true local gem!

I can confirm that the wings live up to the hype! It's kinda strange that the sauce always comes on the side but I think that keeps them super crispy, which is a lot of the reason why they are so good. The portion is extremely generous as well. Can't beat that!

The wings are good they give you a huge portion of the waiter said he’s been there for 20 years and it showed. He was spot on and on his game! I can say probably one of the best damn waiters I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was loud as hell. It reminded me of a high school lunch where it was so loud everyone was trying to talk over one another. This is a neat place and apparently pretty popular because it was packed.

Kountry Kitchen is a renowned soul food restaurant in Indianapolis, offering a taste of the South with its homestyle meals and storied history. Established over 20 years ago as a small diner, it has grown into a nationally recognized eatery. The menu features classic southern dishes such as fried chicken, catfish, collard greens, and cornbread. Notable patrons include Jimmy Fallon and Barack Obama.
Stopped in today with my wife. We used to visit the old location, but this was our first time at the new one—and honestly, the food is better than either of us remembered. The space is roomy with lots of seating options: booths, tables and cozy booths. It’s spotless inside, and the clean, bright look matches the excellent service. The only drawback is parking—if you’re handicapped, the walk from the lot to the entrance could be an issue. We both ordered the catfish, choosing different sides. Dinners come with cornbread and fries. • Fried green tomatoes (appetizer): crisp, golden, perfect. • Catfish: simply outstanding. The cornmeal crust was light, crispy, and let the fish shine. • Sides: • Candied yams—balanced sweetness. • Collard greens—seasoned beautifully, cooked to the right tenderness. • Cornbread—moist, flavorful. • Fries—crisp and snappy. • Mac & cheese—rich, creamy, indulgent. The price felt a bit steep, but the quality made it worth it. Other than that, no complaints. Great food, spotless dining room, and attentive service. This place is absolutely worth a visit. 👍👍

Deviled with candied bacon, our table shared. The egg itself was decent but the bacon was super sweet and tough. Photo 4. The best part of the dish was the fried corn which was delicious, however, the cornbread dressing was not good, under seasoned. The smothered pork chops were ok due to the gravy being seasoned probably. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were very friendly. We had a party of 4 and this was our first time there.

Best Soul food in Indy! Great sit down place with friendly servers. Forgot to take photos of dinner because it was all so good. Best fried catfish I've ever had-- perfect seasoning in the cornmeal. Fried chicken was juicy, yams were sweet but not coated in sugar, cornbread was balance of sweet and savory. Loved the fried corn. Lemon pound cake and sweet potato pice were good.

Tinker Street Restaurant is a popular New American eatery located on East 16th Street in Indianapolis. It offers a warm and upbeat setting with a patio, serving an array of wines, brews, and seasonal dishes. The restaurant has successfully combined elements of fast casual and fine dining to create an inviting atmosphere for its patrons. Despite facing challenges such as controversy and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Tinker Street has emerged with renewed purpose and grace.
Have much nostalgia going to Tinker Street back in 2017 on a date (with my now spouse) - that when we ended up visiting Indy to walk down memory lane we just had to try it again. Did not disappoint - even after 8 years this restaurant is a testament to consistency and quality. Started with the summer salad which was fresh and delicious. Got the Salt of the Earth cocktail to pair -super interesting and deceptively strong. Got the crab scampi and black cod as mains. Scampi was delicious, and the cod was truly special-most tender and buttery fish I have ever had - the texture is just on another level. For dessert, our waitress recommended the Pavlova, which was absolutely the right call - just a beautiful fruity palate cleanser; which I subsequently washed down with an equally phenomenal espresso martini. Long live Tinker Street - would love to come yet again whenever we get a chance to do Indy again.

4-Star Review for Tinker Street Tinker Street nails it with exceptional service and solid food in a cozy, intimate setting. The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side—think charming, not cramped (unless you’re claustrophobic, then… maybe charming and cramped). The food? Good. Not “write home to grandma” good, but definitely “text your foodie friend” good. Creative flavors, nice presentation, and portions that won’t leave you hangry. Now, let’s talk about the unsung hero of the night: the Water Guy. I don’t know his name, but this man treats hydration like a calling. I swear I never saw the bottom of my glass. He refilled it like he was defusing a bomb—calm, precise, and absolutely not here for your thirst. Give that man a raise. Or a cape. Only odd thing? The bathrooms are just a few steps from the kitchen. Not a huge deal, but it’s a little weird when your path to the restroom feels like you might accidentally be mistaken for a sous-chef. Overall, a great experience. Come for the food, stay for the water.

TLDR: Finally tried Tinker Street after years of hearing great things. The staff were wonderful, but in my opinion the food felt confusing at times and didn’t quite justify the price. This review focuses mostly on the food and reflects my own taste and experience. Everyone’s palate is different, and since the menu changes often, your visit could feel completely different. After living in Indianapolis for five years since moving from New York City, I was excited to finally see what all the hype was about. I had always hesitated because the prices seemed a bit steep, but we decided to give it a try with a 5:45 pm reservation. We were first seated behind the hostess counter. The area felt a bit tight, which didn’t bother us much, but the direct sunlight streaming through the front door made it difficult to sit comfortably. The staff immediately helped us move to a better table, which we really appreciated. The menu was creative and playful with strong fusion influences, so we ordered a variety of dishes to get a fair sense of the food. The Korean Fried Mushrooms ($22) were crispy and flavorful, but the small rice flour pancake underneath seemed unnecessary. It wasn’t seasoned and there was only one so not enough to wrap the mushrooms and felt out of place. We both thought a light dipping sauce would have brought the dish together better than the kimchi served alongside. The Coconut Curry Soup ($12) was warm and pleasant but not especially memorable. The Whipped Pumpkin Ricotta ($22) from the fall menu was something I wanted to love, but it was heavy on cinnamon and tasted more like pumpkin pie filling than a savory dip... it was confusing. The Circle City Sweets baguette served with it was excellent, though it was the same baguette offered with the Fried Brussels Sprouts ($23). Fried brussels sprouts and baguette felt like an odd pairing. It seemed like the bread was included just to fill out the plate for the price. For our mains, we ordered the Curried Cauliflower Steak ($29) and the Shrimp and Farfalle ($34). The cauliflower dish was disappointing. The rice was undercooked, the potatoes were too firm, and the cauliflower itself wasn’t tender inside. It also had an overwhelming amount of pomegranate molasses that made it intensely acidic. The first bite was all sour with no balance, and the sauce tasted almost identical to the soup we had earlier, which didn’t help. The dish was so off that neither of us could eat it, and we decided to send it back which is a first for us. The staff kindly offered a replacement, but we were too turned off by the flavors and declined. The Shrimp and Farfalle was much better. The shrimp had a beautiful char and were juicy and flavorful. The pasta was a little mushy and some pieces stuck together, but overall this was one of our favorites of the night. For dessert, we tried the Ricotta Doughnuts ($12). They came out warm and the texture was slightly dense but not bad. We've had better ricotta doughnuts. The espresso ice cream they were served with though, was fantastic. What really made the evening positive was the staff. They were kind, professional, and attentive the entire night. When we declined a replacement for the cauliflower dish, they took it off the bill and even removed a few other items, likely because of the earlier seating issue. In our opinion, several dishes missed the mark, especially for the high prices, so expect to spend if you go. We felt that we paid a premium for food that didn’t fully deliver on flavor or execution. There were definitely some highlights, but overall the experience didn’t feel worth the total cost.

I had the duck confit, which was fantastic, as were all our food choices. The ambience was beautiful, food was delicious. But I am mainly writing because the service was among the best I've ever had! Thank you Sarah Wicker, you were amazing! Thank you for guiding all of us with our food and (especially) wine choices. Your knowledge, professionalism, sincerity and kindness were incredible. You helped make this such a memorable evening for all of us. Thank you so much!!

Everything about this place screams "upscale local joint". The number of regulars I saw interacting with the staff while here was very wholesome and a little mind-boggling. Shout out to Lily & Sara (sorry if it's the wrong Sara) for taking care of me all night. The staff here works their butts off, and the kitchen is no joke either. You can see in and they are cranking non-stop. Korean Fried Mushrooms are a must-do. I tried the Szechuan Snap peas which were just okay. The main, Carnitas Ragu was really unique and delicious. I concluded with the Ricotta Donuts which are served hot and fresh with a side of espresso ice cream. On a cool summer night, it's hard to do much better than enjoying an evening here with the windows down. I hope I get to return next time I'm in town.

Restaurant
Yaso Jamaican Grill in Fountain Square offers a taste of Jamaica right in Indianapolis. The restaurant, founded by a husband-and-wife team, is known for its traditional Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken and oxtail. The cozy space with outdoor seating provides an authentic experience. Yaso's commitment to traditional flavors has made it a local favorite, with slow-smoked BBQ meats and flavorful dishes like the Sunday special jerk pot roast and perfectly cooked jerk chicken.
I visited recently with a group of friends and the food was delicious. I ordered the jerk pot roast and it did not disappoint, I only wish I could have been able to take home my left overs! I had no where to safely store it. The plantains were delicious and they also had a tropical rum cake that was delicious!! I tried to eat as much as I could but the serving size was enough for two people. I can’t wait to go back with my husband!! We were able to sit out on their patio which was really nice. The parking is tight but it’s worth walking a bit if we needed to. Service was so nice , friendly workers , and they told us to sit and they would bring it to us. Very small wait time for the big taste!! Thank you for a great time!!

I recently visited Yaso, a Jamaican restaurant in Indianapolis, and had a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was inviting, and the decor added to the vibrant, cultural vibe of the restaurant. I ordered the ribs with rice and peas, cabbage, and a side of mac and cheese. The rice and peas were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the cabbage was seasoned well with a nice balance of texture and taste. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and a delightful addition to the meal. The ribs, while tender, lacked a bit of flavor. That said, given the diversity of the neighborhood, I can understand that the seasoning might be adjusted to cater to a wider range of tastes. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and I appreciated the effort put into the presentation and service. I would definitely return to Yaso if I’m in the area to explore more of their menu and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere.

Came to Yaso for the first time on a snowy day. I love the convenience of the drive through. I got the Curry Shrimp with Mac and it’s was soooo good. I came back a few days later with my bf and we got the oxtail and jerk ribs. The food is a 10/10. The service is also great. They are very nice! Highly Recommend.

First off parking is kinda tight. I parked across the street. When you get inside you see why because there are only about 6 tables. They make good use of the little space that they have. They do have a drive through if you don't want to deal with the space constraints. You have to order at the register and then they will bring it to the table. Food is served in Styrofoam takeout containers with plastic silverware. I ordered oxtails, spicy beef patty, and a pineapple lemonade. My sister ordered jerk chicken and water. Total was $55. Food didn't take too long to come. Oxtails were good the only drawback was the 2 massive pieces of bone they had hidden in the pile of oxtails. They had meat on them so I wasn't upset. The beef patty wasn't spicy so I got some scotch bonnet from the counter and made it do what it do. The pineapple lemonade was country time or something similar but was good. My sister says the jerk chicken was spicy but she doesn't enjoy spicy food like I do. All in all I can't complain about anything but the price.

I drive from Louisville to Indy just for Yaso. I’ve never been disappointed in the past three years I’ve been visiting. I recently stepped out of my comfort zone of oxtails and tried curry goat in combination with oxtails (of course) and I was blown away by the way my taste buds started dancing in my mouth lol. Great food!

Omg I will definitely go again. And again. The portions were filling, the service was great. The building smells so good and is so clean.

The picture really dont do the food justice, but hey, at least you get a glimpse. 10 out of 10. Now go check them out. They have some seating for a cute little date night vibe.

Yaso Jamaican Grill serves flavorful, authentic Jamaican food. The JD’s Famous Oxtail was tender and rich, while the Ackee & Saltfish was different and unique and delicious too . Added The Mango Guava on the side , would like to thebother drinks next time as well . Overall, a solid spot for Jamaican cuisine. And the oxtail was really really good ! You won’t regret it

This restaurant is awesome. Lauren was our waitress and the hostess and she is an absolute sweetheart, bring super helpful and friendly. Hummus with fresh veggies and warm pita hot the spot. The lobster gumbo was out of this world. Kale salad with grilled salmon was also great. Music was great as well. Recommended beer was perfect as well. Love this place!

I've been wanting to come to The Oakmont for awhile now and finally made it. I ordered the fried devil eggs, salmon tacos and my babe ordered the Chimichirri steak. If you like the taste of truffle you will like the eggs. I enjoyed the flavor especially with hot sauce. My salmon tacos were okay, the grilled lime made the flavors pop a little more. The steak was good, truffle fries a little oily. We enjoyed ourselves. I actually forgot to get pictures of our other dishes. There is a $10 parking fee because of Stouts shoe store.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. The food was pretty good; I went with the steak and eggs and don't regret that choice. Where this place excels is the service, drinks and vibe. All 3 were top notch during my visit; prices for everyone was reasonable. Highly recommend, unless you want a venue that's very quiet. When I was there the place had a DJ and a few larger groups but the noise level was fine

Me and some friends were in Indianapolis to watch the fever we accidentally booked reservations for the wrong date but the Oakmont still worked with us and got us seating quickly....this place was a vibe! We went for lunch the had a DJ and the ambiance is incredible. The service was great everyone was friendly. The food itself was creative and full of flavor! Pricing for everything was reasonable. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area or visiting. Amazing brunch spot!

As far as the atmosphere goes, The Oakmont has one of my favorites. Pretty art all around the space and well designed table layout for all types of party sizes. Service was fairly good. Food is where they lost me. Both entrees we ordered were a bit cold which leads me to believe they’ve been sitting for awhile, but for as busy as they were, I can see why the food would’ve been forgotten about. Would love to give them another try on another day/time where they aren’t so busy.

We came for devour Indy but they weren't serving lunch. We were still able to order a nice selection of food and shared a truffle fries which were delectable. The fries were crispy. Tasty had garlic on them and cheese dip. Dishes ordered by our group. Included the French toast smoked chicken omelette and steak omelette. The food was tasty and plentiful. Our server was attentive and nice. Good music was a bit loud so conversation was difficult but could be had. There is parking literally right in front of the restaurant but it was not for the restaurant but another business which was odd. There is street parking however.

Tiki bar
Oyster bar restaurant
Ramen restaurant
Strange Bird is a popular neighborhood rum and oyster bar in Indianapolis, offering a diverse menu of cuisine and rum drinks. The establishment is known for its fried shiitakes with black vinegar honey dressing, coconut-crusted tenderloin, and an extensive selection of creatively named rum creations. The ambiance features woven walls and hanging plants, creating a tiki bar atmosphere. Vegetarian options are plentiful, and mocktails are available for non-alcoholic patrons seeking a craft cocktail experience.
The best place to get ramen in Indy. I taste the love and quality. My favorite is the Shoyu ramen. The broth has depth and is pure and balanced. The noodles are perfectly bouncy and firm with perfect bite. Get a side of spice to add to the noodles and it just takes them over the top and accentuates everything nicely. The meat was sliced perfectly thin and cooked just right (I am very picky about the meat and they passed regarding thickness and doneness, if the meat is wrong I will not eat it). The rum cake was divine, just enough rum without being overpowering with a delicate crumb to the cake and a crisp sweet exterior that has perfect chew. I normally get the oysters and they never dissapoint, the oysters here are the best I have had in Indy. The parking lot is small, probably like 20 cars worth of space maybe. Street parking on the side is available, just get here early if you don't want a long wait or if you want a parking spot.

Great dinner and drinks. Our table for a Painkiller and a Gold Rush and everyone was happy. Gyoza and Bao Buns were yummy, and all the ramen was great - Shoyu, Tonkotsu, and the Birria/ramen mash up they’re currently offering. Service was great. Another thing worth mentioning is they actually have a nice area to wait for a table so you can start your conversations with your dinner companions while lounging.

All of the food we’ve tried so far has been excellent, as well as the cocktails. Take a bike ride along the Pennsy Trail and stop here for a refresher! The cocktails take a while to come out so ordering a beer in the meantime is a good idea. The patio is dog friendly and hopefully they decorate it a little more in the summer time! Inside is really cool but a little dark. They don’t open until later evening so plan accordingly! Looking forward to becoming known patrons here and trying more of the dishes.

Thanks to a recommendation from Tiki Tiki Bang Bang was told to go try out this non Tiki bar. To be fair it's a shoyu and oyster bar serving Tiki based drinks. They excel in both regards.

Had a high expectations and they were mostly met. The restaurant itself is very nice and had good outdoor seating. They do have vegetarian options, but if you're gluten free skip because they only do flour noodles. I got the shoyu ramen and it was pretty good, but the noodles to me were a little top firm. the drinks however were very good and would be my main reason to comeback .

Goose The Market is a charming gourmet market and butcher shop that also features a cozy wine bar downstairs, known as Enoteca. This hidden gem offers an impressive selection of wines to enjoy with small charcuterie plates from Goose's artisanal food collection. The market is renowned for its delicious sandwiches, particularly the namesake sandwich crafted with Italian cured meats and other delectable ingredients.
I love this place to bits. I think they have best sandwiches in Indianapolis by a long shot. I’ll take the Goose Sandwich any day of the week and they also provide quick and warming service. I recently tried the butcher’s and the meats were phenomenal. I love everything about this place and thank you for such great service!

the food and selection there is amazing but the service definitely needs some work. i wasn’t greeted once or even asked how can we help you. it was my first time in there and i was just standing trying to understand the menu while the workers carried on their own conversations quite loudly. it was like no one had even walked in! the restaurant doesn’t have a spirit to it which is so sad as it is a local based restaurant which offers breads from local bakeries, fresh herbs and such. you would think the community aspect of their business would show up in their service too. i have friends who go their regularly but it’s not like they are regulars because the staff doesn’t interact much and isn’t super friendly. a kind interaction + a great sandwich would make this place 5 stars

From one week to the next, their sandwiches are half as big as they used to be. They did not lower the price, however. Two bites and you finish one half. If you are hungry, you will need to buy two sandwiches.

I’ve had some incredible food here: a whole beer smoked chicken and their carrot cake gelato are things I still think about years later. Sandwiches are tasty. However I do think it’s overpriced, even for the quality. It doesn’t keep me from coming back, but it keeps it from being a regular spot. Also, the butchers are always friendly and helpful, but I’ve never had a good experience with the cashiers. Almost every interaction I’ve had at the register has felt like I’m bothering the staff with my patronage. This spot could easily become a great neighborhood joint, but the price and unfriendliness are probably the two things keeping it from being all that it could be.

The Deli: Upstairs, the experience is bright, friendly, and delicious. A wide selection of unique sandwiches with high-quality meats and cheeses. The muffaletta is a must-try. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly takes pride in the food. The Bar: Descending a set of stairs transforms the atmosphere. The cellar is a hideaway with a completely different vibe, perfect for unwinding and conversations. The wine/beer selection is varied but focused.

Very disappointing visit today. First problem - there's a cash discount that's not clearly stated on the menu. Only when I went to pay did I see the difference in price. Just feels sneaky because it would take five seconds to write "cash price" on the displayed menu or post a note about a credit card fee at the register. Second problem - I ordered a Batali and it was made with the wrong bread. Apparently Amelia's wasn't open yesterday so they couldn't get the usual bread and that's fine, it happens. Here's my problem - I didn't know this until I got home and started to each the sandwich! Even more shocking was that the bread they used instead was akin to a grocery store hoagie roll...very mushy and not able to stand up to the ingredients on the sandwich. What I can't figure out is why they didn't mention this when I ordered the sandwich?? When I returned it the woman explained that the bread wasn't available, but why did they have the sandwich on the menu without an asterisk or note? Makes me wonder what else they don't mention...If they wouldn't warn me that something so obvious about the sandwich had changed, what less noticeable alterations are they making? Disappointing for a $12 sandwich.

Everything we got was amazing. This was our only stop in Indy as we had a few hours in between flights. The bacon ranch burger is on another level! The Mac & cheese is spot on. The nachos were piled hi, and had a bit of sweetness with the sauce. They had a fish sandwich on special and it was spectacular. Cute little spot where you order at the counter and eat at any of the many tables.

Cozy and delicious! The interior is like a trendy, cozy cave, very inviting to just sit and chill a while. Ordering on the screen makes it easy to figure out the menu and what you want.

Now the lady at the counter didn't have good customer service. She sat on a stool at the counter, didn't say hello, and pointed to the kiosk where we needed to order and continued on her phone, a young man came from the back and made our food and brought it to the table. I will return for the good food and hopefully better service.

Very, very tasty vegan food! The cafe is located in a warm and inviting space that is located next to Indy's picturesque Canal Walk (in case you want to take a walk before or after). I was also very impressed by the attentiveness of either the owner or the manager who was there during our visit and who went way out of her way to give us parking advice. It is my understanding there will soon be patio furniture out front. A great place to get your vegan fill, play a board game or two, or stop by as part of your canal walk. Events are posted on their FB page and Insta. Highly recommended!

We ordered the bacon ranch burger with a side of Mac-n-cheese plus the strawberry cake and carrot cake. Everything came in to- go containers even tho we were staying to eat. The burger and Mac looked really yummy... But the Mac was a little lackluster, not a creamy Mac, so none of us liked it (me and two kids). The kids did eat the burger. I tried the ranch that we requested on the side and found it to be too sour for me. The cakes were given to us blazing hot! I was so confused. The strawberry cake had frosting whipped on top when it was in the case and I was looking forward to eating the frosting. But it was melted all over the cake... We couldn't eat it since it was so hot. After it cooled some we did enjoy the flavor but I'm still confused. Usually cake isn't the best hot but room temp. The service was ok, there was a little bit of a language barrier which is fine except... The women's restroom was locked and I had to request access. Then I realized the ceiling was fallen and there was a leak from it preventing me from washing my hands. I would've gladly just used the men's if they kept an eye out for me. The restaurant itself was dark on a sunny day.

This was a mixed bag. The dragon fruit smoothie was good and refreshing! The guac burger was ehh not what I was expecting. It was smothered in a Thai or Asian sauce that covered up the guac flavor. Plus, the bun wasn't a pretzel one like advertised :(. I also got a tummy ache after eating it. 3 stars for service because the worker did Not look happy to be there and there weren't any napkins or straws to be had. The prices are pretty high for the quality and taste in my opinion. The atmosphere looked super cute and spacious!

Upland Brewing 82nd Street is a popular craft brewery in Indiana known for its unique twists on traditional beer recipes. The brewery has gained national and international recognition for its diverse selection of year-round and seasonal beers, attracting a loyal customer base. Visitors have praised the spacious layout, quick and attentive service, and generous portion sizes at this location. The menu offers a variety of delicious food options, with highlights such as the beer cheese burger paired with a refreshing lemon and ginger beer.
Upland Brewing Company is based in Bloomington, Indiana but they have expanded with 4 restaurants in the Indianapolis area and 1 in Columbus, IN. My family and I had stopped at the 82nd Street location in Indianapolis for dinner. They have more than a dozen of their beers on tap, including the year-round Dragonfly IPA and Wheat Ale, but they also have seasonal selections and a handful of sours. For dinner, I enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with Broad Ripple chips ($15). The giant piece of fried chicken was topped with blue cheese slaw and horseradish pickles on a toasted brioche bun. This was a really good sandwich, not overly spicy, but with a subtle heat that I enjoyed thoroughly. My wife noticed that any of their burgers can be subbed for grilled or fried chicken, black-bean patty, local bison, or impossible meat. She had the Bad Elmer's Fav with fried chicken, sharp cheddar, applewood bacon, Bad Elmer's Porter BBQ, lettuce, tomato, and onion along with a side of brewery fries ($16.50). This was an enormous plate of food! I think the Nashville hot was the better choice, but still, this was really tasty. Our kids enjoyed their selections from the kids menu. Our service was wonderful and the meal was pretty quick for a Friday evening. We would definitely return when back in Indianapolis.

We were waited on very quickly and placed our order but it’s taking about an hour and we still have no food. I can’t speak to the food because I’m tired of waiting for it, no one even came by to say what’s taking so long. They did bring one entrée but I’m still sitting here waiting for my fish and chips. I didn’t know fried food was so hard to make unless maybe they had to go to one of these retention ponds and catch a big old cod. Ok, I finally went and said I can’t wait any longer, we did some of the order, a grilled tenderloin Pepsi and a beer and after I said I shouldn’t have to pay for anything and they did comp it so other than being a waist of time, no harm done but I’ll likely never go back. The picture below is of no food , I will say the Juiced In Time beer was very good, I’d go back for only beer at the bar.

Kaira with Offline - My Dad and I ate lunch here. The smoked wings were delicious. They do have a chili BBQ sauce on them. We weren't expecting the pickled veggies, but I enjoyed them also. My Dad had the smoked pork chop. It was a good size and came with 2 sides. My Dad said it wasn't as tender as he would of liked. He has some partials in his mouth, so take that info as you may. 😆 Overall, he said it was good. I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. The seasoned fries were delicious. The pulled pork was alright. I felt it could of been seasoned more. I put bbq on it to help it along. Lol 😄 Overall it was decent. I would return to try more menu items.

Went to the first one in Bloomington years ago now and this location is newer and close to me. The beers have gotten better and better and the food is great. The Mac and cheese is very tasty and the nachos are large. I also got the Salmon, lettuce and tomato sandwhich. The sandwich is tasty, but i do think it needs a lot more aioli, maybe a lemon aioli. I added mayo and it helped. I will be back again and again. Give it a try and you will be happy.

I met my mother here on a hot mother's Day. When I met her, she had been waiting where they seated her in the hot sun for 15 minutes with no water or service. I arrived with my wife and we tried to flag down servers as they seated other families, gave them water, and took their orders, but the servers seemed to have a blind spot for us despite being a few feet away. The manager offered an "I'm sorry that happened" and repeated it like a robot four times instead of taking responsibility. I loved the Bloomington location because they run a tight ship even on the busiest days, but letting an older lady sit in the sun on a hot day with no water in direct view of the host station for 30 minutes is unacceptable at any restaurant. Doing it on mother's day when half the tables are empty is unforgivable, and the manager reaction told me all I needed to know. Lots of other nearby restaurants to try!

Chicken Scratch is a popular spot known for making everything in-house, from cookies to salad dressing and soups. Their specialty lies in baked goods, and their new location is described as inviting. Customers appreciate the friendly service and delicious food, with the only complaint being excessive sauce on certain dishes. Despite some negative reviews about long wait times for food delivery, many still highly recommend Chicken Scratch for its tasty offerings and look forward to trying more from their menu.
Food was hot, fresh and delicious! Service was great, cashier gave a couple of recommendations too which we did end up getting but they're unpictured. Crab fries were loaded with crab meat and steak was tender. My only critique is that the steak fries should have jalapeños for a little spice. It was clean on the inside with R&B videos playing on the TV, very relaxed.

The blue cheese was fresh and delicious. The wings really didn't need any sauce. The crab topping on the fries was surprisingly good. The customer service was just non existence. SAD!

I got the shrimp po boy and cajun fries, sandwich was decent fries were just ok. My coworker got loaded fries, Buffalo chicken mac fries she said it was really good, portions were huge. Another coworke got chicken Alfredo fries,she said the same as above comment. Two coworker's ordered the Alfredo pasta, they said it was pretty good.

Do NOT order from here. Absolutely Disgusting! I ordered chicken and waffles from Chicken Scratch. My chicken flavor was “honey hot”. OMG when I opened it up the waffles had all the sauce on it. They didn’t even desperate it from each other. So i couldn’t eat the waffles bc they had sauce all over them. The 3rd piece of chicken J bit into was SPOILED. Yes you heard me correct SPOILED. I thought I was tripping at first but my coworkers smelled it and and said it was old. I almost puuuucked. The chicken was black by the bone as well. I WILL NEVER order there again. My coworker said her Alfredo was bland and she couldn’t taste the flavor. If you don’t wanna get sick I suggest you find another restaurant.

This was a DoorDash order so I cannot properly review the service and atmosphere. However, the food was not appetizing. The Cajun fries were soaked and sitting in oil, the Mac & Cheese was ok, and the chicken was a bit dry. The overall taste missed the mark and quite frankly, upset my stomach and I didn’t eat more than 4 or 5 fries bc they were just simply inedible. I was looking forward to this meal bc it looked amazing. Unfortunately, I will not be ordering anything from this place anytime soon.

Ordered 20 wings, mac and cheese, and crab fries this weekend. Upon arriving, they had given my food to somebody else so I had to wait longer. I told my fiancée to check the food before we left, she thought it was good but upon getting home noticed we were shorted 8 wings, the mac and cheese held very little flavor, and the crab fries just were not good— unsure if i’m being picky about the fries but everything else was just disappointing to say the least. I really wish they had a number for me to call before this review but this is the only way to get a business’ attention for some type of reimbursement for shorting me wings and delivering subpar service for $80.

If I could leave zero stars, I absolutely would! The food is amazing, but the people that work there are trash! And I was waiting on my order for almost 3 hours. I called there because I ordered from Uber eats, there was somebody there waiting on my order for an hour, And then that driver had to leave and now it says they’re preparing my food again, but I’ve been waiting another hour and a half. The people that own it, I assume because it went to a cell phone voicemail at first are extremely rude, and I will never order from this restaurant again.

Tomlinson Tap Room is a must-visit craft beer bar in Indianapolis, located on the second-floor mezzanine of the historic Indianapolis City Market. With 19 different taps featuring Indiana-brewed craft beers, it offers a vibrant yet relaxing environment to enjoy some of the finest local brews. The bar's ambiance is reminiscent of a pre-Prohibition beer bar with its dark wood and glass decor. The draft list changes weekly, ensuring a variety of options for beer enthusiasts.
If you love great beer, and especially IPA's, in a historical structure with character, this is YOUR place. Worth the 1/2 mile walk from my hotel, and a great place to gather with friends for terrific beer at great pricing.

Always a great stop to make for craft beer. All Indiana taps really let's you get a taste of the region and staff is always friendly and helpful
Chad — Google review
Nice selection of regional craft brews on the second floor of the Indianapolis City Market. Very friendly service. You can take the beer out of the immediate bar area to one of the other upstairs seats so you can enjoy dining with your family is anyone is underage.
Keith W — Google review
Tomlinson Tap Room is the best spot for Indiana beer and wine. Matt the bartender is very friendly and has superior knowledge of each specific beer and can find a craft beer for even the most finicky drinkers. Ben, the bar manager always has the best beers from Indiana's top breweries rolling in and keeps the tap list fresh with beers from Lagers to Sours. The taproom itself is in an Indianapolis landmark, the City Market. Very welcoming and warm, highly recommended.
Jameson T — Google review
Tomlinson Tap Room is a craft beer spot inside the old city market in downtown Indy. It's on the second floor with bar seating and plenty of tables nearby to look down on the market on the first floor. Although their beer list is impressive, I'm not a beer guy so I opted for a local sour ale and was impressed. Their drinks are on point. What is not on point is their food. I ordered a cheese and break dish and it was not very good at all. Not the worst, but below meh. Regardless, this spot is GREAT for a happy hour after work or a break from shopping in the market.
Austin G — Google review
I love the market for lunch and sometimes a cold beer is a great way to wrap up the week. This place is up in the balcony of the market and has a great bar and a few tables for enjoying a unique brew with you meal. They have a rotating list of beers on tap in 9oz, 13oz, and pints. Prices are reasonable. Be sure to watch for beer arrivals because some beers, like Three Floyd's Zombie Dust, tap out quick.
Aaron K — Google review
Fantastic taproom on the mezanine of the historic City Market. They curate very interesting and eclectic selections of Indiana craft beer. The bartenders are among the friendliest and most knowledgeable in the city. Don't miss this local gem.
Jgiffin37 — Google review
Tomlinson Tap is the best place to find a phenomenal selection of Indiana Beers at very reasonable prices. The bar usually caters to the lunch and after-work crowd and closes at 9pm each evening. The rotating tap usually hosts many sought after Three Floyds, Sun King, Upland, Bare Hands and Black Acre beers. The bartenders are also incredibly knowledgeable and are happy to shoot the bull with you or answer any question about the beers.

Tom+Chee is a delightful local chain that takes the classic comfort food of grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup to new heights. Known for their creative twists, they offer an array of unique grilled cheese options packed with flavorful ingredients, alongside various soup specials that go beyond just tomato. Even if you're not typically a fan of these staples, Tom+Chee has something on the menu that will likely surprise and satisfy your taste buds.
The cashier was incredibly friendly and offered suggestions that proved to be delicious! A great amount of food- I couldn't even finish it all! The Cruncy Garlic Chicken grilled cheese had a pleasamt spice kick contrary to to traditional grilled cheese.
Jamie W — Google review
The food was ok, on the burnt side by my preference & previous experience. The staff however needs to be improved. There were 3 employees working- one working hard to make our food, one who was eating back in the kitchen & proceeded to spit something she was eating onto the floor (at least I hope it hit the floor not something else), and the other was sitting on the counter in the kitchen where they have the bread (photo attached). It was very disappointing and I don't plan on returning.
Ashley L — Google review
The food was good but wasn't anything exceptional. I had the Swiss+Shroom and a cup of creamy tomato basil soup. I preferred the sandwich over the soup. The dining area felt dark and was loud. There weren't many customers there but the seats and tables looked dirty. It was obvious that they weren't usually busy, as we waited a few minutes at the counter before an associate noticed us.
Doug C — Google review
I only give 2 stars because the restaurant was nice and the staff was friendly. The food gets 0 stars. I got the Tom+chee grilled cheese which is 2 cheeses, tomato, and garlic. The flavor was okay, but I thought it might have some melted good cheese. It looked like 2 very thin slices that were melted, but there was not nearly enough. It did not look anything like the pictures I've seen. It was the Indianapolis location. Again restaurant and staff were very nice.

Nothing fancy about it, actually very disappointed. The young lady working the order counter seemed to be annoyed by our presence, then she did not listen and keyed our order incorrectly. My son ordered white bread with american, his order came out with wheat bread and american. I ordered sourdough with cheddar, received "white" with american. Unfortunately I looked at the receipt after we received our food to determine what happened, they brought out what she entered, not what we ordered. I found everything to be overpriced, and the best item of our meal was the fountain drink, but again over-priced, a "regular" is actually a small at any other establishment. I ordered the chunky tomato basil, it tasted and looked like canned tomato paste mixed with water. Nice concept, great atmosphere, but we won't be returning. If you do go, insist they repeat your order back or you may end up with something you did not order, and skip the soup (or so called "soup).
Melissa J — Google review
100% worth your dollar. Staff is friendly and helpful and the food is great at a low price! The menu is bigger than you thought it'd be too! If Five Guys made some bomb grilled cheeses, it'd be Tom + Chee
Rocky L — Google review
Took my Daughter to lunch and thought this would be a great place but wasn't very happy. Everyone there is in too much of a rush and when I needed assistance I had to go find an employee myself and then stood there looking stupid. My soup was not hot barely warm and my grilled cheese not grilled. Then they weren't listening to me, handed me a to go container cup of soup not bowl when we were eating there. Slow it down is all I can say and pay attention to the customers please.
Jamie N — Google review
I have only been to Tom + Chee one time out in Kentucky, so I was excited when one opened here in Indy. With it being on the Northside and I live on the Southside, I haven't been able to get up there...until now. Ok, fine...I go to the Northside often, but not to the Trader's Point area. When we walked in we were the only people in there. A girl came up from around the corner to take our order. I must say that I wasn't too impressed with her. She just seemed like we were interrupting something far more exciting that taking our order. I feel that their drinks are a little overpriced for the size. We asked for a large...and their large is the size of other places medium. While we waited for our food to come out I took a look around. The place is clean, but nothing special in terms of décor. Our food came out pretty quickly. It was good and had good flavor. Sadly with the price I paid for 2 meals I would have hoped for a bigger sandwich, but was disappointed in the overall amount of food. Overall its a neat concept of soup and grilled cheese...but probably isn't something that I would visit regularly.

The ingredients was fresh and my customized salad was made correctly!! I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN!

There is no dining space for this restaurant. You order via an online menu and pickup (or have delivered). Walking up was a little confusing. There's a car drive-through line and a door with instructions to knock when your online order shows it's ready. There's a bench for waiting customers and a long line of cars. The chicken salad with green goddess dressing tasted fresh. I got a side of warm pita bread.
Helen M — Google review
The Cobb Salad is an absolute must-try! It's simply divine and generously portioned. Equally impressive is the Green Goddess Salad, bursting with flavor. Both salads are priced similarly to other eateries in the vicinity. Each time I have one of these salads it is so fresh. I try to eat healthy when ordering out, and the salads here are incredibly healthy while also delicious. Each bite is a testament to their commitment to quality. Highly recommended!

Salad was so big and everything was fresh. Real bacon, not tiny bits. Everything was a great portion, no skimping. Even the salad dressing was good and a great size. Might seem expensive, but you will be stuffed if you eat it all by yourself. I would absolutely order this salad again!

Urban Grazers knows how to make a salad! I've yet to try one I didn't enjoy. Super fresh ingredients, fresh made dressings, perfect pairings. Highly recommend.
