“I love Nando’s! This is the place to go if you’re ever in the Broad Ripple area. They’ve created a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. When you’re looking for a solid investment with your time and dollar, Nando’s delivers. The food is exquisite, not only in taste but in presentation. When you walk in and feel like family, you can’t help but feel immersed in both the owners’ cultures. Indianapolis offers up some phenomenal gems, and Nando’s is definitely one of them.”
“Great service, we were well taken care of! Will certainly return! Great food!”
“We recommend Salt on Mass for its incredible consistency. The experience is always welcoming and forever delicious. My husband David treated us to a delightful dining experience for Valentine's Day Eve. (I love dining "off holiday" for a more peaceful pace.) We've dined at Salt on Mass many times and continue to be thrilled with our experience. We reserved through Open Table and were seated immediately with our on-time arrival. I love a table with a view of the room's comings and goings, so #41 was ideal, again. We were welcomed by our server Ryan, who explained he was also our bartender. (Love it - special insights on cocktails and wines.) He served us well, attentive but not too much so, and we loved his creative chocolate martini as our "appetizer." :-) We chose our dinner favorites - Chilean Sea Bass with delectable risotto for David and Salmon with expertly grilled asparagus for me. The portions remain appropriately generous, so we split the Key-Lime Chiffon Cake for dessert. Congratulations Johnny and crew for delivering another memory-making visit. Each one leaves us craving the next! Here's to you all! Sincerely satisfied, Garnet and David 2-13-25”

“Best Sandwiches in the business. I am a lover of sandwiches and I have tried at least 10 different ones and have not been disappointed once. Owner/Operator is awesome. Be mindful that the Fast-food spots in this area struggle and you can get your food quicker at BBI than at McD or Wendy, with much better food.”
“We had the jerk chicken first time I have ever tried it needless to say it was amazing,Wonderful service,Great atmosphere,,and the best meal me and my wife have ever eaten,I highly recommend the Jamaican Breeze.”
“Excellent food and friendly staff. Shout out to Kaycee for making our experience all it could be.”
“Sam's Square Pie is amazing. This is the best Detroit style pizza ever. The staff is amazing and food is wonderful. highly recommend to everyone.”
“I had the best birthday dinner visiting for my first time. Chuck was truly the best server I’ve had in my entire life, he made the experience. I get iffy dining out because it’s not a cheap thing to do and if you get a bad server or the food sucks it truly ruins the experience. The food was incredible as well… the empanadas, cauliflower (I was shooooocked over this dish)… birria and steak… the happily birthday churros were so cute and added a cherry on top for the whole experience. I will absolutely be back. 1000000000/10 loved my experience here.”

“The best fine dining restaurant in Indianapolis. Quality, innovation and great taste. Chef Melvin is inspired and attentive to detail. Alex Williams is an extraordinary Server and guide. Sui generis! Mariane and I are looking forward to another great evening this Thursday. JRBUKER”
“Absolutely love the pumpkin pancakes so much, that I get them every visit! And summer the lemon blueberry. We ask for Layla every time, she knows what we drink and brings them before we ever ask. She jokes with my husband which he loves. She's funny, super sweet and such a great waitress. We've been coming here for a few months now, after leaving another pancake place, because of the food and service here. We bring all of out out of town guests here and upon a return visit this is where they want to come. Layla makes each visit the best part of our day!”

“I stopped here for coffee and ended up getting a latte to go. The latte was smooth and delicious, and the staff seemed professional and polite. The interior looks nice, but this doesn’t really seem like a coffee shop meant for spending a lot of time in. There wasn’t much seating I could see, so this is definitely more of a takeout spot. It was definitely good coffee though.”
“I would rate Bugambilias at 4.5 stars. The restaurant was small, neat, and clean. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was was not salty or greasy and had excellent flavor, which reminded me of good Mexican restaurants in southern California. The salsa was mild but flavorful and not salty. I didn't ask about medium or hot salsa because mild was good for us. My Shrimp Fajita was the best I've had with perfectly seared shrimp and tender but not overcooked or burned vegetables. My companions also loved their Mole Poblano and Beef Mexiote. The fried ice cream and churros were very good for dessert. I recommend it, and we will definitely be back soon.”
“My niece's bridal shower was held in a private dining room. Our server was very professional, considerate, polite and very helpful. The salmon was my choice and it was very good. I would definitely go back there with friends for dinner and drinks.”
“Just ate at Twin Peaks - Indy for the first time, food was great, atmosphere was great, service was great. Gabrielle was the best waitress I’ve ever had!!”
“We have been to Wisanggeni many times and absolutely love their food and staff/owner! I am vegetarian and love the To haven't, Gado, and Bakmi Jawa. My partner is Halal and enjoyed the Chicken Satay, Soto Ayam, and Hibachi Meal. The service is always very friendly and supportive of a diverse community. Will always be on our reliable go-to list! Photos are from our most recent visit (chicken Tongseng and veggie Gado)”

“Date night at Bocca never disappoints. My wife and I live near downtown, and it’s become one of our favorite spots. We grabbed seats at the bar last night, where Maritza proved she can shake a cocktail like nobody’s business. The carbonara is my go-to—hands down the best I’ve had this side of, well, Italy. The oysters are my favorite in Indy, always perfectly shucked, and the wine list makes me grin every time I spot my favorite Vermentino. You don’t have to be a neighbor to feel like one once you’re at Bocca!”
“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.”

“Really excellent and exciting food like heirloom rice and beans from new Orleans, Oaxacan mole, and dishes inspired by local produce. The cocktails and wine selection are world class!!! A shocking amount of rare spirits from Mexican mezcals to Austrian aquavits. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Could not recommend more if you are in Indy!”

“My daughter and her boyfriend got engaged at Bottleworks and Allyson and everyone else that we dealt with were absolutely amazing to deal with! They helped us with getting everything we needed to decorate the room-rose petals, roses, champagne, chocolate covered strawberries etc and even upgraded them to the Penthouse Suite for the occasion! I would give them 1 million stars if I could-we couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much!!!”
“I would like to say on September 3rd at about 8:14 a.m. I forgot my debit card at home when I got to the drive thru window I let the young lady know that I would be right back that I forgot my card she said no she was paying for it she was paying it forward she was a young black lady and she insisted she was paying it forward that was awesome they are still nice young people out there would love to give her a shout out and hope that Hardees with no but they do have employees that are wonderful thank you very much you did not have to do that that was awesome”
“This location is always clean, respectable, and I love how the employees act with the customers. Kristin, the manager, is always running around making sure things are getting done, but still finds time to interact with the guests. Top notch. I recommend this Denny’s all the time.”
“Great food and drinks. Very hospitable service and environment.”
“Great vibe, atmosphere and drinks. Only issue, as a pure gamer, a few of the cabinets are unplayable due to wear and tear. Need more regular maintenance of these classics.”
“Everyone was super friendly, and our food and drinks did not disappoint. I went for a mocktail, and it was seriously refreshing and tasty—one of the best I’ve had in a while. Our waiter, Prince, was amazing—so attentive and even surprised us by comping our dessert, which was a sweet touch. The fish & chips? Incredible. The fish was huge—honestly as long as my forearm—and cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly, prices were reasonable, and everything tasted great. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit. Between the welcoming staff, tasty food, and fun drinks, this spot totally delivered. Definitely coming back soon!”
Takeout Restaurants
“Stopped into pick up a couple Persian rolls w/Carmel icing. I bought two and the sales lady (who I thought was being nice) said I'll give you one for free. Got home to realize all three were hard as a rock ..straight to the trash. Stop selling stale products. Usually good here ..will think twice about going back.”
“Devil cookies! They are sinfully good! My daughter came home with the biscoff pie, and I ate most of it and then shot back up there the next day and about 4 of them! I love the themed cookies, but the banana bread coookie was not it! It was still like bread. Crumbl needs more centralized locations.”
“Stopped by Chicago Beef And Dog Company last weekend while strolling through Irvington. I got the Italian beef loaded with peppers and my partner tried their classic dog. Both were fantastic — juicy, well-seasoned, and honestly better than anything else we’ve found around Indy. The folks at the counter were super friendly too, made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back to try their burgers next.”
“Patachou rocks. Not only is the food superb. Their restrooms are always clean and the service is great. They also take the time to watch out for their patrons when they misplaced their valuables I’m a customer for life. Now if I could just get another cup of their banana nut coffee. Best cup I’ve ever had”
“Kazan is one of the best sushi places I have been to (and we live in Southern California). The service is excellent and the food is exceptionally good. The owner is a master chef - truly great!”
“this place is awesome the owner is a great person the food is awesome he puts love into his food and it shows. Hope the waitress she is awesome”
“Wonderful experience and service this evening. Our server was Flower (sorry if misspelled). She went above and beyond all evening long to make sure our experience was a positive and felt special every step of the way. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I am not usually inclined to leave a review, but I feel as tonight's visit warrants a call out. As a parent that has a child with a gluten allergy we know the struggles of finding places out to eat. We have had Azzip a few times, but have always ordered ahead of time online then drove to the store to pick it up. This evening, we found ourselves out on errands and in the area and decided Azzip had been a safe choice in the past so we made our way there. The store was not busy, but there people ahead of us and behind us and I felt the protocol followed didn't slow the process terribly but I want to commend the staff for taking it seriously. What I witnessed: 2 people working the line making the pizza on the "ingredients" side of the oven. my kid informed them of the gluten free need and they asked if it was preference or allergy. my kid informed them of allergy. they cleared the line of the previous pizza being made once cleared, they stripped their gloves and cleaned the work space and the sauce bottle my kid wanted on their pizza a cooking mat from a separate area was produced and the cauliflower crust requested was added all the toppings requested were added then the pizza was placed in the oven. there was communication to the receiving team member that an allergen pizza was coming afterwards, my other kid and my pizza were started only after the 1st was placed in the oven. after the gluten free pizza came out of the oven, I noticed the cutting instrument was different than what was used for the other pizzas we ordered. Our experiences thus far is many people don't understand what Celiac disease is and how gluten can harm the body of those affected. It is more than just the ingredients consumed; cross contamination is the true problem. Seeing the team execute the procedure with care warmed my heart as I know it takes a lot of effort to create the process, then train to it and then to follow it. My appreciation to the team! We will definitely be back!”
“My dad and I stopped here on a whim the other day and I cannot say enough fabulous things about this place! Not only was the food delicious, but the service and atmosphere were wonderful as well. I've been craving their danishes since I left...needless to say, we'll be back!”

“Best Soul Food in the state of Indiana!?Grilled Cajun Catfish,mac & cheese,collard greens,customer service???”
“We have eaten here twice and the food is consistently delicious. First time we at in the restaurant, and the second time carry out. We will absolutely be back. So delicious. Staff is kind and gives recommendations if you can’t decide what you want. Yummmmm!!”
“Had dinner with a friend on a busy Thursday night. Luckily she got there early and grabbed a table for us before the rush started. Our waitress, Courtney O was awesome! We had the spring rolls, and chicken wings both were perfectly crunchy the sauces were delicious. For dinner, my friend had the Bodhi fried rice, which was made fresh - there was steam rolling off of it the whole time we ate. I had the Stir-fried glass noodles with shrimp (medium.) The shrimp were cooked perfectly, seasoned well and the medium heat was just right for me. Overall the food was fabulous, love the atmosphere, will definitely be back.”

“Best fine dining experience we’ve ever had! Our server was attentive to our needs the entire time and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the menu. You need to experience this for yourself!! What are you waiting for….schedule your dinner reservations today!”
“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!”
“We had what may very well have been the most extraordinary dining experience in our 15+ years living in Indianapolis, thanks to the unmatched hospitality of Sean. He is, without question, the best server we have ever had. His attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already phenomenal evening into something truly memorable. From the moment we sat down, everything was flawless. We began with oysters and the French onion soup. Do not skip the soup—it is a masterpiece in a bowl. The Chateaubriand arrived perfectly prepared, accompanied by impossibly good fries and glazed carrots that were simply next level. And just when we thought it could not get any better, the chocolate cake arrived. Rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. Geraldine’s is a gem. But it was Sean who turned our night into something we will be talking about for years. We cannot wait to return, and we will be asking for Sean by name.”
“This was my second time dining at Del Frisco’s. Tonight was even better than the first visit. Joshua made sure to explain everything in the menu and helped us make selections. The sea bass was amazing! Very light and buttery. As well, the prime steak with Gorgonzola was cooked to perfection! We will definitely be back!”
“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.”

Cheap Eats
“This is the ONLY place in Indy that you can get grape boba that actually tastes amazing. I love this drink so much 20/10. The cheese foam on top is also perfect, no notes on the boba balls either cuz they’re so good. They have a very very big menu of drinks, which I love.
Their food menu is also big as well. I tried their spicy tonkatsu ramen and I thought it was just okay. However, I do want to try their other food items as well and will definitely go back to do that.”
“Noor is a treasure! The food is incredible and the owners are friendly. I have severe food intolerances (Dairy and soy) and I can eat almost everything on the menu. We spoke with the owner and she and her husband make everything fresh and healthy just like how they eat at home. They cook with olive oil (no soybean vegetable oil at all!) And sauces and marinades are all made from scratch. I love the kebabs and the baklava is soooo gooood. I'm so impressed with this place!”
“this is quickly becoming a hot spot in the area. its a local business that has a variety of dishes not easily found elsewhere nearby.”
“My first visit, but was very impressed with service, cleanliness, and especially the food. I lived in London for 11 years so got to eat plenty of good and authentic Indian food. The lamb karahi I had scored highly on both counts. I will be back - repeatedly - to try many of the other very tasty looking menu items. Best Indian I’ve found so far in Indy.”
“The food is delicious. I love Charlestons. The gravy on the chicken fried chicken is absolutely delicious. Know, if you ask for extra gravy, they charge you. The Carrots and Mashed potatoes were delicious. I will continue to patronize Charleston's.”
“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !”
“The server, Nancy, was the BEST! She is so fun and knowledgeable. food was a great deal at happy hour. tasty”
“Thee spot on Mass Ave to hang! Best espresso martinis in town!”
“We went to Iozzo’s last month for our anniversary dinner. It was a truly memorable experience. The food was fantastic. Nice outdoor patio with a lovely fountain ⛲️ Our server, Jason, was terrific and very attentive. Chris, the manager, repeatedly checked on us. Now one of our all-time favorite restaurants. We plan to get back in the coming months. William Whitton Shirley Broyles”
“Never heard of it until two weeks ago. Good atmosphere, great oldies music, deep purple etc. I would definitely go again. Plenty of room to be comfortable. Good parking and clean bathrooms. Very impressed.”
“Wow!! What an experience! Had the distinct pleasure of listening to Ron Dixon and this incredible band put on a listening experience like NO OTHER! Beautiful atmosphere and ambiance.

“Such a great time the girls and I had for our girl trip! The food was delicious staff were all friendly and very warm welcoming! To learn the history on the slippery noodle inn tour was one of our favorite parts! So much to unpack and learn about the building and back history our tour guide was an absolute pleasure and awesome guy! 10/10 recommend can’t wait to return!”
“The food was excellent. The service was horrible. We had many different wait staff come to our table and things were getting mixed up. Our bill was not correct and the waitress at the end acted as if it was the worst thing in the world to go correct it.”
“Ordered the Ale Supremo pizza and ended up having to wait about an hour until we got it. No biggie. It happens. The manager (Diane) threw in a large order of wings, refunded our money, AND gave us a $20 gift card. Now THAT'S customer service! The food was absolutely delicious, too. Needless to say, we're Ale Emporium customers for life. Thank you!”
“The food and service at this restaurant is TOP NOTCH. THE BEST. Anyone from any culinary background will be able to appreciate the atmosphere and service provided by the professional staff here. The hostesses were not only polite, but overly hospitable. Our server Mike and the manger Brandon made the night extra spectacular. Glasses always full, Food always followed up upon. That is a rare service provided in this day and age. The specials are always fresh and delightful, and their mainstays are what keep us coming back. Great for a special occasion or a regular special night out. If you haven’t eaten here recently or ever, you are really missing out!”
“We had the pleasure of having Michael P. as our waiter, and we were extremely impressed with both his service and hospitality. He was thorough and genuinely passionate when walking us through the menu and explaining the specials for the day. Definitely recommend on all aspects!”

“We ordered the party boat to go over the weekend, and it was so good that we came back again today. This time, we ordered the Sushi Deluxe.
Since I can’t eat clams, shrimp, squid, or grilled eel, I asked if those pieces could be substituted with other raw fish. The server kindly accommodated my request and even replaced the squid appetizer with seaweed for me.
I honestly didn’t think I could find truly fresh sushi in Indiana. I’ve tried several places before, and they all had a slight to strong fishy smell. However, the sushi here had absolutely no fishy smell at all. I’m very sensitive to that, so if you’re like me, you’ll definitely appreciate the freshness here.
The quality, price, and service were all excellent. Everyone was friendly, and we were very satisfied. We will definitely be coming back!”
“We ate here last night and it was exceptional! We went with a native of India who has been eating here often because he loves the food. They have authentic and Americanized and American food options. There are MANY gluten-free options! In fact there are more Gluten-free options than most restaurants. We loved the mild and extra spicey options that we tried. The place was clean and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly. We really enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend and we will be back!”
“Great place to eat, but not so good for take out. They forgot chop sticks and duck sauce.”
“Always love going to Saint Elmo’s steakhouse. Best steaks around!”

“Really excellent and exciting food like heirloom rice and beans from new Orleans, Oaxacan mole, and dishes inspired by local produce. The cocktails and wine selection are world class!!! A shocking amount of rare spirits from Mexican mezcals to Austrian aquavits. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Could not recommend more if you are in Indy!”
“My wife and I went here to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a cool vibe, our host Chaz had outstanding customer service skills, the food was the bomb dot com. If you have never been to this place RUN‼️ We HIGHLY recommend it and you will not be disappointed. One of our favorite restaurants WAS Olive Garden and now our favorite 10 outta 10 spot is MaMa Carollas. We will definitely return at least once a month to enjoy some fresh and delicious food. The beef lasagne and Pasta Too Good were a hit. You can wear whatever you like, but I would definitely dress up next time we go for date night. Thank you for a lovely time to the staff.”

“Nashville location was perfect for a gluten free birthday meal and drinks!! Try the Pink Pony and dip platter! Huge selection of tequilas. Julia and Shawn were personable and timely!”
“First things first- I’ve been to Italy and had “real” pasta AND pasta is not usually my first choice. In fact I probably have it twice a year. BUT THIS… Was. So. Good. Highly recommend the pesto ravioli, sausage pasta, Parmesan garlic toast, and shrimp fondue. Service was great and restaurant was a cute vibe, which feels as important as the food itself.”
“Amazing Ethiopian Restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana. I especially recommend the Vegan plate!”
“I loved the food and service. We had the Clobster cakes which were so fresh and delish. The greenery that looked liked decor was actually a delicious salad. We continued with the Firecracker pasta with salmon and lobster. So much meat. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I was quite impressed and will be back.”
“Our first time here, short wait time, our waitress was great but the food! It was delish plus and so fresh tasting… I recommend the sweet potato chips and made fresh to order guacomole… we had the street tacos, chicken with mango salsa and spiced street corn ! It’s an hour and a half drive but one we will make again!”
“My daughter and her boyfriend got engaged at Bottleworks and Allyson and everyone else that we dealt with were absolutely amazing to deal with!

“Cannot recommend Marrakesh enough! Mussels and bread for appetizer were SO tasty. We didn’t know anything about Moroccan food walking in and our server was very helpful. The Tajines we ordered for our entrees were too good. SO much flavor! Super chic atmosphere too. Do not skip on the Baklava! Might be the best I’ve ever had. Loved the NA cocktail options too. Only positive things to say about our experience! We will be back.”
“Outstanding service. Phenomenal food! From the bread/appetizers to the meal and tiramisu dessert 👌🏻 We were absolutely amazed by with every bite. I can’t wait to go back.”
“I found a delicious taco restaurant downtown Indy on Mass named Condado. So yummy that I have been there two days in a row. LBVVS I had the most flavorful and delicious Mexican Street Corn that I have ever had in my life. The Blue Dream tacos also did not disappoint. I’m usually not a huge taco fan, but this place is really good! Great service on both days and I love the decor so much! This is my new fave!”
“Thrilled they sell the Solders Monument statue — has so much detail! Memorable souvenir for visiting Indianapolis as I went to the observatory deck before visiting the souvenir shop. Great price and kind owner.”
“Lovely place. The sourcing of flavors where presented perfectly. The staff made us feel welcomed”
“Thank you for the most amazing night. The chicken was the best I have ever had. Maria and your chef are extraordinary!”
“Great sushi and wine! Chicken teriyaki and curry chicken taste fabulous. Bonfire and Las Vegas rolls are delicious!”
“Iaria’s is incredible. The food is delicious and the service is first class all the way. Don’t miss it when you visit Indy.”
“Muy rica la comida lo recomiendo muy buena atención al cliente 👌🏻”
“Had dinner on Monday for a private event. I’m still thinking about it days later. Best meal I’ve had in a while. The brisket was cooked so uniquely I’ve never had anything like it. 15/10. Service was excellent.”
“Amazing food, drinks, and most importantly service. If I lived closer, I would dine their daily. Come & Enjoy!!!”
“Went to Longhorn on Southport last night. Everyone was friendly & service oriented. Our service staff included Princess who did an excellent job, ensuring our food was great, drinks full, and even brought my daughter a piece of strawberry cheesecake as we were celebrating wedding planning! My steak was cooked perfectly and don’t sleep on their stuffed mushrooms. Yum! It really seemed the employees enjoy working there and the food was superb. Wonderful dinner & dining experience. Vibe was awesome.”
“You HAVE to try Crab 99 Bar & Restaurant in Indianapolis. They seriously have the best food ever. A special shout-out to the little Asian guy who works there – he's the funniest and most awesome person I’ve ever met. Honestly, it's the best food in Indianapolis. If you ever stop by, this is a place you should visit. If you love seafood, this is THE place for you. The environment makes you feel like you’re in a high-class, five-star seafood restaurant, and you won’t ever find any kinder, more respectful customer service.”
“Great first time experience. We shared a 2-person sampler with another couple which was more than enough when coupled with a small appetizer. Everything was delicious and just what you would expect for a family owned ethnic restaurant.”
“Madison was fab!! She is soo personable and knowledgable!!! Food was delicious!! I highly recommend her and this restaurant!!!”
“Normally I have no issues and the food is always amazing but today with my carry out order I feel differently. I had the district club and when I took a bite into it I was met with a piece of wood that stuck to the roof of my mouth. It appears the wooden spear was broken into the sandwich after taking a closer look. I would just be aware of this if your sandwich comes with one.”
“We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—every bite hit the spot. The hostess was super friendly and welcoming, and our waiter made the meal even better with attentive and cheerful service. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and enjoyable, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy your meal. Honestly, everything came together perfectly—the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I’d definitely come back here again, whether it’s for a casual night out or a special meal. If you’re in the area and looking for a spot with great flavors and a friendly staff, this place is a total winner. Highly recommend checking it out—you won’t leave disappointed!”
“NEW NAME NEW ME!
Turchetti’s is now WILDFYRE TAP
Controversial opinion; the fries are better now tbh.
Super appreciate the actual QUALITY gluten free bun sub. The owners care about making their food accessible to many people, not just carnivores with an iron stomach. Fyre is open late, which gives us second and third shifters a beautiful and delicious option for food during /after our shifts. It’s also just great to be able to get a dab down the street and walk down here and be able to smash food without any sense of shame around the fact that I’m stoned af and about to literally inhale these fries.
The space is much bigger now, as the new owners have remodeled/removed several walls in the front of the shop to create additional seating. A nice high bar in front of a sunny window sounds like workspace heaven at 11am.
They plan to do tons of events, as the space is fricken huge. All around very excited for the future of this space and ftsq!
Also maybe I’m biased but the staff is just super sweet and helpful! Please pop in!”

“Kris, I think that was the cook's name, made the best Philly Cheese steaks that I have eaten. I have eaten sandwiches from Maine to LA, and this one was the best. Only issue is that I called in about 15 minutes early and they didn't put my fries down until I got there. Maybe they do that, so they are fresh, so wasn't a big deal.”
“Best Sandwiches in the business. I am a lover of sandwiches and I have tried at least 10 different ones and have not been disappointed once. Owner/Operator is awesome. Be mindful that the Fast-food spots in this area struggle and you can get your food quicker at BBI than at McD or Wendy, with much better food.”
“One of my all-time favorite restaurants! Anytime we’re in Indy, this is a must-visit for us. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is consistently amazing. Every dish is packed with flavor and made with so much care—you can truly taste the quality. This place never disappoints and always feels like a special experience. If you’re in Indy and looking for a spot you can count on every single time, I can’t recommend this one enough!”

“On my way home saw the The Soul Food Shack sign. So I stopped in. Very clean professional looking establishment. A very friendly young lady came out to inquire how could she help. So very pleasant. I ordered the Smothered pork chops with collard greens and fried potatoes. Husband and I surely enjoyed this meal. Chops and greens were on point. Potatoes had a great flavor but just a little mushy. Whatever I was truly impressed.”

“Huge wine selection, the old fashioned was a hit. Getting the horseradish gorgonzola butter topping for the steak is a must! Steaks were cooked perfectly to medium rare as we requested. The sashimi seared tuna with the dipping sauce was amazing that could have been a meal by itself. We knew the price was going to steep, but it really is a fantastic meal. It's hard to eat any other steak once you've had one of theirs.”
“Absolutely love the pumpkin pancakes so much, that I get them every visit! And summer the lemon blueberry. We ask for Layla every time, she knows what we drink and brings them before we ever ask. She jokes with my husband which he loves. She's funny, super sweet and such a great waitress. We've been coming here for a few months now, after leaving another pancake place, because of the food and service here. We bring all of out out of town guests here and upon a return visit this is where they want to come. Layla makes each visit the best part of our day!”
“This was our first dining experience at Root and Bone, but it definitely won’t be our last. Our party of 4 started the the BLT small plate, which featured a delicious, perfectly cooked fried pickled green tomato, topped with pimento cheese, a piece of pork belly, and a luscious tomato jam. We also tried Grandma Daisy’s angel biscuits, which were substantial biscuits served with honey chicken jus, sea salt, and toasted benne seeds to be added as desired. Entrees selected were the chicken and waffle (served with bourbon maple syrup and the most AMAZING hot honey/Tabasco sauce. The shrimp and grits (with fantastic tomato confit, andouillle sausage, and sinfully delicious beer jus), short rib “meatloaf” ( shredded and compressed into a rectangular shape and char grilled, which all at the table tasted and salivated over), and the cedar plank salmon served with the most tasty thyme and lemon rice casserole (which was surprising to both females at the table as to the amount of lemon but was absolutely divine). A huge shout out goes to our server Imani F, who was knowledgeable, personable, and very good at explaining exactly what we were being presented with as she served us. First class all the way!”
“My wife and I had breakfast at the Southport restaurant this morning and received amazing service and kindness from your waiter; a young man... Eliyahot Yahsha. He helped to make our day a pleasant one indeed!. The next time we visit this restaurant, we are going to seek him out for serving us. Thank you Eliyahot!”

“Food was OK - Julie behind the bar was amazing. Place was clearly understaffed and she held her own. Service never felt lacking. Cool spot to watch a game
Cheese curds and tots were very good, wings were small and not crispy at all, but flavor was ok
- the prime rib dip itself was good, the horseradish mayo was inedible and the gravy was coagulated and salty”
“this place is a true gem in nw nap. the food was 5 stars the hospitality was all fives as well. we met the whole family and they were all super pleasant. I asked for chilequiles (which wasn't on the menu) and the mom said no problem I got chu. serving sizes was large hash browns were crispy pancakes fluffy as heck.”
“My girlfriends and I have known Joe for many years- from when he worked at Buck Creek Winery. He is The BEST! Now that I have finally visited the shop 2 days in a row- I know why everyone raves about Heartland. Last night there was a great crew working! The teens were very personable and friendly. They offered us a sample. Everything tasted sooo good. If you know how great Joe is- you won't be surprised that he has a phenomenal group of employees representing his shop. As for the ice cream...my youngest son LOVED the Superman. I chose Cornbread and Coffee Cookie. Sooooo good! You HAVE to try the Cornbread ice cream! It is the most unique, delicious ice cream ever! I had to get it again today. My oldest son came this time and he sampled Cornbread. He liked it so much- that is what he ordered, too! The Cookies and Cream is also to die for! I love how easy it is to sign up for the rewards program. We also loved how many options we had to choose from on the menu. If I can ever tear myself away from the Cornbread ice cream- I would like to try the Italian Ice. It was great to see you today, Joe! What a wonderful business you are building. I'm sending Nikki in STAT! lol. My boys and I highly recommend Heartland. Looking forward to visiting again soon....”
“Cannot recommend Marrakesh enough! Mussels and bread for appetizer were SO tasty. We didn’t know anything about Moroccan food walking in and our server was very helpful. The Tajines we ordered for our entrees were too good. SO much flavor! Super chic atmosphere too. Do not skip on the Baklava! Might be the best I’ve ever had. Loved the NA cocktail options too. Only positive things to say about our experience! We will be back.”
“Shay was our waitress and she did an excellent job providing us with good quality service very attentive. Pancake breakfast was good. And the omega breakfast was also cooked too perfection. But the best thing was the large cups of coffee that was very strong and stayed hot the entire meal without being refilled.”
“The food was excellent! The Galette Bretonne was very tasty. I ordered the biscuit sandwich to go and I have to say it was the best biscuit I’ve had since going gluten free (over 15 years ago). It wasn’t a crumbly mess and was just like regular biscuits. I highly recommend Fire and Ice!”
“This Horror-themed coffee shop is very visually appealing! Horror movies are not a huge thing for me as they actually make me laugh, but I like different so I have been wanting to try this place! It is a small area to sit in, but we went on a late Monday morning to which it was not as busy! The latte I had was filled with good flavor! And Alex got a smoothie which I had to try and it was amazing! He loved it as well! The barista was so beyond friendly! Very top notch! Good vibes and wonderful drinks! Definitely recommend! Plenty of parking, but in a location within a short walking distance to many stores located in Fountain Square! Definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This place has the BEST tamales and tacos. Huge selection of authentic street tacos. I also recommend the churros. Fantastic food, great and friendly service, clean restaurant - HIGHLY recommend. I don’t think the word is out about this place yet - tell your friends!”
