“My wife and I drove up to Indy to meet some friends for lunch. We selected Fork & Ale on a recommendation from a family member and we were NOT disappointed!

Located right off of the Midtown Greenspace in Carmel, the restaurant caters to everyone with a little bit of everything on the menu. It was a beautiful day and although the inside of the restaurant was very appealing we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the weather. We were promptly seated and drink orders taken as well as an appetizer of fried pickles. Yum!

Our drink orders were brought out in short order and we ordered our lunch. I had the build your own burger special and it was cooked to perfection and exactly as ordered. My wife had the southwestern crunch wrap, and my friends enjoyed a chicken quesadilla and a brisket sandwich. We each had a side of fries and they, too, were very well prepared!

Thank you for an enjoyable lunch!

This will be our go-to whenever we're in Indy and I would definitely recommend this establishment!“

She knew exactly when u needed a new beer, was quick clearing off the table and had a great understanding of the beverages. Ask for Taylor F the next time you’re in Sun King Carmel.“

Limited kitchen menu focusing on paninis, which were good, and appetizers.

They do have a little patio on the sidewalk as well. Employees are very nice!“

“Heard good things about this place and they did not disappoint! Delicous beer and the bartender added 3 bonus tasters onto my flight. What a champ!Unfortunately there was a sign that said No Overnight Parking which really upsets me that they encourage drunk driving. The sign should say "If you've had too much to drink, please leave your vehicle here and take an Uber home."This is the first bar/brewery I've ever seen with a No Overnight Parking sign and I really hope it's my last.“

“I love Four Day Ray! Anytime someone is coming to my side of town to eat it is my go to suggestion, and have never been let down by the food.
I went with my sister and dad tonight to commemorate 10 years of my mom’s passing. Our server, Heath, maybe did the math when “anniversary” was on our reservation… either way we felt above and beyond cared for during our dinner. Happy in our decision of where to go for such an occasion!“

“Great atmosphere and enjoyable staff, huge selection of cans in their fridge but no growler discounts which was odd to bring in my own to fill then discover not the deal it used to be. Tried the Teddy Bear but not for me, too bitter bad rugged, a pineapple chamomile sour was much better! Have enjoyed many of their other brews over the years at various places, can easily recommend!“

“We held our October 2022 wedding ceremony and reception at Liter House and loved the experience! Drew and the whole event staff were helpful, kind, and easy to work with. We loved our brunch reception with delicious breakfast food and classic Sahm’s coffee cake. The event space is warm, inviting, and the right size to host lots of different types of weddings or gatherings. Also, the location is perfect - the Monon trail is a gorgeous place for pictures and features a lot of cool artwork/murals. I definitely recommend checking out Liter House for your event!“

“We were apartment hunting and decided to check this out for dinner.
Great ambience and a great place to hang out.
We got a pizza brussel sprouts and a wedge romaine salad.
The pizza was thin crust and had great flavor.
Brussel sprouts was an interesting pairing with cherries and mustard seed...it worked well, I think maybe slightly less of the mustard would have been nice.
The wedge salad is a classic and they did a great job with that.“

“We tried @halfliter_bbq in #Indianapolis, and this is what we rated them. A couple of things first. It was their Octoberfest, so they were very busy. Even with that, the food was out in 6 minutes! Brisket 8.5. Bark was very good, and the meat fell apart. Pork 7.8. Smoked well, was just dry Chicken Breast 8.8 Best thing we tried here for sure. Smoked wings 6.5. Very good flavor, but it was super dry Turkey. 7.9. Thick and smoked well, just a little to dry for us Sausage 8.0. Good flavor with a little heat Also, the pickled onions were outstanding. If you are in Indy, I would definitely check it out. Check out more reviews on Insta at JoeAndJrkFoodReviews“
