43 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Indianapolis

“My family and I LOVE Uptown Cafe. We’ve never had a bad experience.. great food, friendly/hard-working staff, and cool atmosphere. I always get the breakfast burrito with chorizo and avocado for my two added ingredients plus the hash browns as my side. Their hash browns are the best! Highly recommend this gem in downtown Noblesville :)“

Debbie is my fav waitress of all time because she is focused, attentive and caring. Her spirit is so pure. The owners (Tammy & Ron) are a blessing to this community. So are the staff!

“WOW!! We have passed by this place several times and always said we should try it out. I'm so sorry we waited so long. We were impressed from the second we walked through the door. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Wine racks on several walls, some murals of Indiana sports teams. Very comfortable. Service was quick and very friendly. Menu had tons of variety. When food came out it was hot, delicious and a lot of it! We will definitely be returning!! 10 out of 10!!“

“We have been to several First Watch restaurants and have received outstanding service. This one is just as good if not better. They were extremely busy but we still had excellent service. The Eggs Benedict was wonderful and my husband enjoyed his just as much. We always have to get a loaf of bread to take with us. It's outstanding toasted.“

“I think they charge a lot of tips for the waitresses, we were 3 adults and 3 children and almost 20 dollars for the service of the waitresses and they didn't even come close to asking what else we wanted and we asked for the restaurant's WiFi and the waitress never came back we had to keep asking for that in the end they said no“

“Our first time at Le Peep in Indy was nothing but excellent! Our waitress Mily was quick, efficient, and kind. She exuberant professionalism and knew the menu! You can tell she took pride in her position. The food was so good so flavorful! We will definitely return with a empty belly ready to eat again!“

“corned beef hash is yummy.“

“Visited today for the first time and had a fantastic experience. Great service and atmosphere. We got the huevos divorciados and the Mexi Breakfast Tacos. Honestly the tacos were a very safe and vanilla choice and I regret it. It was fine, just not the flavor I was looking for. The huevos divorciados on the other hand…I wanted to lick the plate. So many incredible, traditionally and nontraditional breakfast items as well as cocktails, and a delectable selection of desserts brought in fresh from Chicago. Highly recommend!!! I know⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I came into the restaurant late at night to finish a homework assignment. Bianca took great care of me--allowed me to sit where I could plug my laptop, and kept my coffee cup full without bothering me too much! She was kind with a positive attitude even though she was juggling a number of tables. I will absolutely make this a regular study space--thanks Bianca!!“

“Went to waffle house a few nights ago maybe more and was shocked to see the cook being screamed at and crying . She is to skilled to be working there I believe her name is tomisia .she needs more restaurant worthy pants but she's third shift only one at waffle house with white teeth and skills to run the grill best tbone I ever had I watched her pay for a little boys food who mother brought him in saying she couldn't feed him just to get lectured by an employee that was leaving seemed to be high and not just on weed . I think her name was kacy some of the employees drink have bad teeth and are on heroin . If you're gonna go to this waffle house make sure you do it on first or third shift.. only problem is the blonde on third shift has a nasty attitude and an extremely horrible vocabulary nothing but c*** and b**** all night long she called different customers the b word or the cook the cword all night the cook and several customers asked her to stop and it just continued . Not a good look for waffle house . But over all first shift manager Doug first shift servers Taylor and Marissa and third shift cooks Larry and tomisia needs to be praised for what they do if not for them y'all wouldn't have no business.“

“Todo deliciosos �� buen lugar para desayunar“

“Service was great and the food was good. One of the best omelettes I’ve had. The sawmill and sausage gravy weren’t our favs, but that’s ok because everything else was so spectacular. Loved the Cinnamon Cub coffee and the cute atmosphere. We will definitely be back“

“Enjoyed breakfast with my husband today. My tea was off, but not uncommon with differences in water. When I finished it, I realized my glass was full of dried food. My husband was upset that I didn’t say anything, but there were alot of people around and I’m not the type to say anything.“

“Love this place. This particular one has the best food and service!“

“First time visiting for breakfast. Good, but not great. Husband got a Chorizo Skillet, I got Biscuit & Gravy Combo. Pretty sure the potatoes and gravy were purchased from a restaurant supply, not made on site. We spent almost $50 for 2 meals and 1 coffee (with tip for excellent service). We will try it again with different meal selections. Value? To be determined next time.“

“Great food and a lot of it, huge selection, pricey but it is the city, atmosphere is basic, but it is a great retreat with comfort food with flare. Clean bathrooms and large bathrooms however I would suggest to the management to get rid of the bathroom sink nozzles that spray everywhere. They don’t seem to work or get your hands very clean customers. Be careful when you use them they get spray water on your clothes when you put your hands under the water, friendly staff and no one there when we went so we had the whole place to ourselves on a weekday.

Vegetarian options: Lots of options unless you’re vegan

Kid-friendliness: Large space, large menu, good restrooms

Wheelchair accessibility: Two doors to get through at entrance but open rolling inside and large room bathrooms“

“Classic IHOP!!
Service is a bit slow but more time to enjoy the food and the company you're with
Best place to walk back all the carbs you lost at the gym

Parking: The IHOP is close to the VASA gym so there are days that it's slightly more difficult to find parking but it's usually pretty empty“
