It is unbelievable to me how expensive this food is. I absolutely loved buffalouie's in Bloomington. But I can't justify a regular side of onion rings costing $13. I know people in Carmel have the appearance of having money but a lot of them don't and they still like to eat. Carl Sandburg said that the worst word in the English language is exclusivity. If I order a meatball sub and an order of onion rings as a side it's more money than if I go to a fancy sit-down restaurant. How can I justify that. Every time I go to order something from you, I do the math and then I'm like I can't do it. I wonder if anyone else feels this way?

Pretty sure the majority of 5 star reviews are coming from die hard Hoosier fans.

Customer Service: The staff was really nice, when they actually got around to talking to us. We went when the restaurant was maybe 1/4 full and after being seated, they completely forgot about us. I had to go ask someone at the bar to send someone to take our order.

When they came out with the food, they realized they forgot to put one of our orders in. There were 3 of us.

The wings tasted like they were pulled from a frozen bag and tossed straight into a fryer. I would be shocked if they actually made these fresh and the sauce was so-so.

Would I go back? Maybe to grab a beer and hang out on the patio. But paying the Carmel up-charge on frozen wings I can grab at the grocery? Not likely.

All in all, pretty disappointed.

The resturant was clean, server had fantastic service. The chicken sandwich was over $15 with water and no fires. The buffalo chicken was not great at all. It was cooked thoroughly with a fresh bun. The breading and taste of the chicken tasted old. The buffalo sauce was not coated only lightly applied.

Gave me 14 tater tots for $6+. If that’s how bad things are for you guys then I genuinely feel sorry.

Wings suck here, period!! Sauces suck, wings are small and have that gross slimy fat on them. Really nasty wings! Not really sure what all of the hype is about! Great place to drink and watch IU games, but eat some where else first!!

A solid new spot in downtown Carmel! It's a pretty small restaurant, so it can get crowded pretty quickly—plan accordingly. They maximize seating space with booths, bar tops, and bar seating, plus a nice covered patio in the back which is a great perk. The atmosphere is loud and fun (tons of TVs and memorabilia!), and the food was good as was the service.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this restaurant. It's definitely an Indiana Hoosier spot, and they make the game experience super fun with things like halftime giveaways. The environment is clean and a step above a typical college bar. Even though it was busy, the staff was nice and as attentive as possible. The food was great—the onion rings were really good, and the hamburger was excellent!

Casual and fun environment, service was good. Garlic parmesan wings were awesome, along with hot garlic ones. Friends had traditional and boneless wings which all were good. Burgers are fine but not their specialty.

Had a great time watching the IU vs Penn State football game there! What a great atmosphere. Food is good although I would prefer the regular Wings Over the Boneless Wings any day

Food and drinks are overpriced for what you get. We just went for trivia. If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t be back.

Man, the food is so good and it’s Hoosier central. As an IU alum, we planned to watch IU/MI St game here.

I can not recommend this place for IU fb. 1/2 the tvs have the game on, half didn’t. Of the tvs that had the game, they were all off by 10 seconds from each other. On top of that, they had the game audio on which was off from the broadcasts, essentially you are hearing the plays on audio 5-10 seconds before you see it. Awful football experience. They were doing their best.

With that in mind, we would’ve bought wings and beer the whole game but we left in the middle of the 2nd to watch at home because the viewing experience was unbearable.

This place is not a destination to watch IU football unless they fix these issues.

That being said, I’d come here anytime for food and drinks. Service and food and environment is outstanding.

Ordered delivery and they completely missed an entree. I was the only one in my family who didn’t get their dinner. Tried their fries and they were terrible! I’ve never tasted fries so bad. We’ve been in person too and the service is always slow
