Appetizers of chicken wings and warn pretzels were a great start. We loved our burgers and tofu Thai salad. We finished with scrumptious cherry chocolate bread pudding a warm brownie. Everything was perfect! Friendly service too.“

Beef Tips

“Breakfast at The Galley Kitchen & Bar inside Hotel Indigo was a happy little surprise. Our young local waiter brought us everything we asked for, plus what felt like the kitchen sink, all included with the room rate.

The Western omelet was a 10/10, the biscuits and gravy were good enough to make a Hoosier nod respectfully, and the crispy bacon had “all day goodness” written all over it.

Bright plates, cheerful service, hot coffee, pancakes, gravy, bacon, and no breakfast drama. Hard to beat that before noon.“
