New American Restaurants in Indianapolis, IN

“Love the atmosphere. The bar was awesome! Food excellent and service amazing. Will definitely return!“

“WOW! We rented out Beholder's Pink Room for our wedding dinner and WOW! Not only was the food f-ing delicious (as always!) but Josh and the staff truly went above and beyond to make the evening special. Leading up to the event, they were responsive and super easy to work with. The service was impeccable and we dream of the six course meal (again- f-ing delicious) and perfect wine pairing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“Exquisite experience and great design and decor to match.“

“Wonderful restaurant to celebrate an occasion. Was a bit disappointed in the limited lunch menu with very little gluten free options. While flatbreads were labeled "gluten sensitive" that is not the same for someone who has limited abilities in that area. Had to order a chicken sandwich w/o the bun to meet my needs. It was good.“

“Thank You for making my son's graduation dinner so special!♥️ Would highly recommend for special events or business meeting. From the time we walked in the door, Wyatt was very kind and accommodating with seating us when we added a guest to our party. Carolyn, our server, was very attentive and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions about menu items. Kayla, (Management) was excellent and attentive as well, making sure our expectations were met. The music and atmosphere was on point. ♥️ We will definitely dine here again!“

“Following our tour of the Statehouse, my AP Government class came to Yard House for lunch. Our group of 14 was quickly seated. The staff knew we were in a time crunch. We had two amazing servers who got us in and out in less than 45 minutes!!“

“A beautiful and amazing restaurant all around! My husband and I had our anniversary dinner last night, and the staff went above and beyond to make this one of the best dining experiences we ever had! All the food and drinks we had were beyond amazing! Thank you for making our night so memorable!“

“Food, service, and drinks were excellent. Had the shrimp corn dogs, lobster waffle, duck with duck, and wild mushroom paella. They were all fantastic. I really need to keep this spot in rotation. It’s a bit out of my bubble, so I forget about it. Last night really jogged my memory“

“Lovely place. The sourcing of flavors where presented perfectly. The staff made us feel welcomed“

“Fantastic food and people! 5 out of 5 all around. Ryan’s food is fantastic and Dee is warm, friendly and very accommodative. Best kept secret in Indy! Highly recommend you find time to visit and experience this awesome small business.“

“Had lunch at High Velocity today! The food was excellent and Fabiola was the sweetest waitress who took great care of us. We will definitely be back!“

“Happy to find another restaurant with healthy(ish) options. My choice was Spinach Gruyère Quiche. It was very delicious. Served with a side of greens tossed with a light creamy dressing. They need to be more meticulous about their bathroom cleanliness and hygiene though. A unisex bathroom with urine on the floor in front of the toilet was not a pleasant experience! I left the restroom without using it. Also, I don’t know why my coffee came in a paper cup rather than a standard porcelain cup although I dined in. Overall, a good restaurant but needs attention to some details.“

“Read a lot of awesome reviews about this place so we decided to try it out while in Indy. The pizza is delicious! We both really enjoyed what we got.“

“Very good food and service. Would recommend for lunch and would most certainly visit again. We wondered around Indianapolis for ages trying to find something good and this ticked the boxes.Vegetarian options: It's not a vegetarian menu but there are good options available.Kid-friendliness: It's not kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Seemed wheelchair friendly“

“5 crazy stars. I am not seeking cocktails, but when I saw my friends gin drink I had to change course. The attention to detail and layers of flavor were second to none. A true experience, I was not expecting when the night started.This area of Indianapolis is amazing. I live in Columbus and maybe it is a grass is greener thing, but this area has some great restaurants.“

“Man Big Walt’s has had me in a chokehold for months! It’s just great every time. A two man team (generally) pumping out hot fresh food! I love the pork chop sandwich and the cheeseburger. If you have a big appetite you might get the Big Walt on Texas toast, it’s 2 hand patted seasoned patties with your choice of toppings. Wait is generally 20 mins or less! Love yo go when they open, I’m in and out!“

“Excellent service and good food. definitely worth the money. Try it out, people!“

“Had purchased a $50 gift certificate for $25 via a local deal, so decided to try it out. Had heard parking could be a challenge, so parked along the main road just north of the restaurant, although there appears to be a lot behind the restaurant as well (not sure if that is open for restaurant clientele or designated for other folks).They apparently take reservations, although I didn't see that on the website prior to going so we had to wait a little bit after checking in at the host stand. They have seating in front along the sidewalk under an awning, but it was raining so most folks weren't taking their chances. We managed to get a hi-top table in a bar-ish area near the front window of the establishment.Server was prompt and efficient. Beer selection was pretty good and I believe it was a reduced price for pints on the evening we dined. The stout I drank (Rogue?) was extremely good. I decided to try their mushroom rueben sandwich since it was a unique option. Tasted fantastic, although the fries side that came with it weren't my favorite. They kind of reminded me of Long John Silvers. I believe it cost $15, which I'm not sure was a great value, but the sandwich was very good and we had the certificate.If we were local, would probably come back for the beer selection. Not sure if the food menu is worth the prices from our table's general consensus, so probably won't be back based on distance and value.“

“Food and drinks were delicious, staff was friendly and prompt, and it was a nice place to sit and enjoy the company of friends or loved ones without having to shout to have a conversation. Highly recommended.“

“Beautiful experience last night here for our wedding anniversary. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had the chef’s tasting menu which was amazing. Thank you all for a fun night and amazing food! We will be back!“

“Must have been an off night I’m guessing? Service was horrible, & most of the food was great, special salmon dish for onion allergy family member over salted. Shrimp & grits, burgers, & Mac & cheese were great, “lump” crab hush puppy’s are made with artificial crab meat.“

“Always have a great experience here. I been if something went wrong they always make sure to make up for it. I was just in and sat my son in one their high chairs but it was unfortunately hot from the sun where it burned my boy a little bit, he got too scared to sit in any other chair so they made amends and put my order in the house even after I said it was fine. This place is full of good people good food and a great atmosphere“

“Oh my goodness! I came here for the first time and was blown away! The Skywalker taco was AMAZING and also huge! The staff is super friendly and I can’t wait to come back and try more items.“

“I can't believe I've never been here until now. Excellent food, service + atmosphere. The fried cheese curds appetizer was terrific. And the bread + butter pickles that come with it WOW. You should sell them in jars. I had the Pastrami Reuben. It was soooo good. Even better than Shapiro's, which I love. Bravo!! We will be back!“

“Food and service was excellent. Order the duck!!!“

“Everything from the minute you walk in the front door till the time you leave - the service is impeccable and the staff make you feel like family. The food presentation and flavors are a culinary experience explosion in your mouth - it’s that good! … I had the delicious Tart. Seriously, it was so scrumptious and I felt like royalty when the dish was placed infront of me. Incredible. Delicious. Unbelievable.“

“Blondie is amazing! She is friendly and has great service. I’ve been a few times and she knows my order as soon as I walk in.“

“So accommodating and best place for my birthday dinner w friends. They were patient to wait for all guests to arrive and food and drinks were delish! Along w the dessert and the birthday song. Best birthday meal in a long time. Flowers on patio were beautiful.“

“Was walking by and decided to stop in. Was about 7ish on a Saturday evening. We got seated right away.Ordered the strawberry basil smash cocktail which was delicious, I had two. Also got the chips and queso and the quesabirria tacos. The tacos came with the consume too. The birria had decent flavor.We did sit next to the bar so my photos look green because of the giant green sign that said “social”.“

“New management has done a great job by opening 7days a week.friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff who genuinely care about your experience. The food is consistently delicious, and the presentation is impressive. I've tried a few dishes, and each one has exceeded my expectations.Will be coming back soon.“

“4 of us had dinner in the bar area on May 9. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Food and drinks were excellent. Drew was our server. He was very friendly and got all of our drink and dinner orders correct. However, he got busy with other tables and we had to flag him down a couple of times. To be fair, he knew we were out for a leisurely dinner, but keep an eye on us next time. I’d go back and I’d recommend to others.“

“Our team went to Chef JJ’s for our team building activity and it was a blast!! Chef JJ(once ya realize who he is ;))and Erica were phenomenal hosts! We felt comfortable and had so much fun during our time there. Would definitely recommend 10/10! Thanks, JJ and Erica!“

“We had a great experience for my sons rehearsal dinner. Food, service, and venue were all great“

“I recently stayed at this hotel for a convention. I loved everything about it from the service to the accommodations. It's also centrally located and easy to get to locations such as Lucas Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, restaurants and more!“

“What an exquisite setting! Hard to beat the magnificent grounds and serene atmosphere. The lobster roll was divine and the petite filet was perfectly cooked and delicately seasoned. Caesar salad was delicious and we enjoyed a variety of appetizers and sides, especially the artichoke appetizer. The service was lagging and we had to wait quite awhile for our drinks to arrive. Three entrees arrived at the same time but we waited at least five minutes for the roast chicken to arrive, causing our food to get cold. Despite the service we'll be going back!“

“We've been to several breweries in church buildings, but this is by far the coolest one! We arrived at open on a Monday for lunch and were not disappointed. Our host & bartender was informative and helped us make some delicious choices from the menu. Our beers were excellent. The ambience is exceptional. We had an all-around great experience! Give 'em a look!“

“Went on a Wednesday for the first time for my birthday! Only one waitress/ bartender named Autumn and she was absolutely AMAZING to everyone during the late lunch rush when we showed up. She deserves 10/10 stars. The food was wonderful, drinks were fabulous and everything was just amazing! Can't wait to come back!“

“Amazing food…absolutely love the food and staff“

“First time trying the Cafe Bistro and it was excellent. We ordered a tomato basil soup and chicken lemon pesto gnocci - both of them were flavorful and tasted perfect. Or server was fantastic - he checked on us frequently, offered water and chocolate mints to go, and overall was welcoming and friendly. If I owned a restaurant, I'd hire him right away!“

“Been to Kulture a few times. Food is always great. I stop at 4-stars for service and atmosphere bc food prep is slow and music is too loud. Also they are pricey.Parking: Parking lot has a lot of potholes, so be careful. Parking lot lighting isn't that great either.“

“Excellent food, awesome service and staff. The live music on the covered deck was outstanding. I'm sure I will be going back.“
