The restaurant was quite busy since it was the second to last night before permanently closing. The food was tasty and well prepared, as per usual. Our server was tied up with larger tables, so it was a little slow and not as attentive as we were used to. We'll miss this little place!

Stumbled on this restaurant via Open Table and we were not disappointed. Server was attentive, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Food was exceptional. Highly recommend brisket anything! Dessert was a mint chocolate chip brownie. Yummy! Would return any time we are visiting Indianapolis.

Good food, meh service. Traveled up to Indy for a Pacers game, this place is right by the stadium and our parking spot, so very convenient. Only server doubled as the bartender, thus the service, and I think that's why our food took a minute.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options, my dad is vegetarian and liked it.

This was our first time here. Our server was Steven. He was wonderful. We both had a cocktail. Mine was Dancing Flower - very refreshing. The starters all looked so good, that we decided to try three that he suggested. They were all very good. The unpacked brisket nachos were our favorite. I will definitely go back so my husband can try the wings. They were highly recommended, but my friend and I don't do bones, so passed on them

I went to Ember Urban Eatery for a birthday dinner. I got the breaded tenderloin with fries. The tenderloin was tender and very flavorful. The fries were flavorful as well. However, I wish the portion of fries was bigger. I probably had about ten to fifteen fries. I definitely could've eaten more fries. The drinks are good. I got an Amaretto Sour.The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I don't know if there is a party area for customers, but it would've been nice to seat with all of my family instead of sitting separately.

They have the best tenderloin that I have ever had. Smoked wings are good also. I'm sure everything is good. Thanks Carol I. for taking me there 2 years in a row. Looking forward to 2023 visit !!!!

The brisket was outstanding. I had a delicious vegetarian taco with hummus and vegetables. We decided to stay for coffee and dessert afterwards. The ambience is very warm and friendly in a laid-back atmosphere.

We were visiting from South Carolina and decided to eat here after a long morning of airplane travel with 1 year old. The owners were so kind and accommodating. The place was very clean and cozy. I had the “Deans” burger was great and the fries were excellent.

Worth a stop around the outskirts of Indy! The menu is a mix of typical bar/grill food, but with the addition of a few unique extras! I loved the cajun fettuccine, and tried some of the dean burger and loved that too. Nothing super special about the inside, and we did wait a little longer to get our food. HOWever, we had Max as a server and that dude was a straight up baller, 10/10 made the experience worth it!

oh my gosh!! Ember is the place to be! Amazing service, local family owned, uplifting atmosphere, and the food……. Out of this world. I come here all of the time with my family and time and time again, I see how Shelley and her husband Rob really care about their customers and giving them an experience they will always remember. Order the brisket fettuccine and the sloppy joe :)
Ate here last night. Took nearly twenty minutes for our order to be taken, though once that happened, the server was attentive enough. My wife got the unwedge salad with chicken, and it looked good, but was skimpy, and for $5, more than 2 ounces of chicken would have been expected. She said it was quite dry. I got the brisket dinner. This is a joke. When it came out, it was in one piece. Nobody serves 8 ounces of brisket in one chunk. It did not look appetizing, and once I took a bite, I realized why. It was dry, and NOT BRISKET! It looked, felt, & tasted like pot roast. The vegetables and potatoes were good, but even a good BBQ joint would not have charged $24 for this meal. My wife also got the lemon drop drink, and that was good. Can not recommend, will not be back.

Food was outstanding. Highly recommend the brisket. Wedge salad was fantastic. We loved the casual atmosphere combined with great quality food. Our server was familiar with everything on the menu and just the right amount of attentiveness. Dogs welcome!

Had the salmon on rice, friends had brisket sandwiches. Amazing food! Will definitely come back. Also, the drinks were delicious!!

Service, food and drink were excellent. I ordered fire cracker shrimp Dare Devil Lift Off IPA and a side of fries. Shrimp came on a bed of salad and tasted great. The beer had a bit of foam on top initially; the server tapered off the foam and refilled to the brim. The fries were good. Would order all items again 5/5.

Amazing staff, Great food, great drinks, reasonably priced all around great atmosphere.The wings and sauce are hands down the best we have ever had, worth a stop just for those alone.We have been several times and plan on coming many more times.
