Highly disappointed. We ordered the brisket sandwich and it was a disaster. Don't know who was working on 3/3/25 at 815 in the kitchen but I brought my wife a brisket sandwich home without checking it and she said it was the most bland fat filled sandwich brisket ever. This was once our favorite spot downtown for burgers, we would put up with the poor tap beers cause the food was good. Not this time she couldn't even finish it. I'm trying to post a picture, so disappointed

Server was not the friendliest person on the earth, it annoys me when they don't even say hello, just stand there with their order pad. But she was efficient and she was knowledgeable of the menu. Burgers were good, smoked wings were awesome, I'd go back!

Always great when I come! I've had a few issues but nothing that stands out is being "bad" to the point that I need to share anything specific. Definitely a must when in the area.

The food was great and the taste was decent. We basically ordered the wings, fries and some tater tots. I would rate the wings a solid 8/10, decent flavor and not too dry. Portion sizes were definitely large enough, we ordered a little too much just for 3 people. We basically all 3 got wings, 1 large fries and tater tots -think the tater tots were something special though, so a little more than regular. Total came out to be $130, I do think we ordered like 2-3 drinks as well but forgot which. (with tax and tip) Definitely an old fashioned but hearty meal.

Everything felt dirty. Both bathrooms were open to either gender which sounds nice but results in pee on both floors. Wife didn't like it. Service was great. Ruben was minimal on beef. It was Cozy inside.

The wings were great! Also loved the Italian beef. Great place to watch a Colts game or Chicago sports!

DO NOT GET THE MAC AND CHEESE! Paid $4.25 for the tiniest thing of Mac and cheese that was no better than from a box. The rueban's beef was just one large slab (like a piece of ham) instead of deli sliced. It contained pieces of fat which is my preference but i know i am in the minority. The rueban was a decent size (wide not tall so you can actually eat it) and tasted ok. It was pricey and the sandwiches come with chips and not even pub chips.

Cant wait to go back! food was great! Only thing i ask is to be able to buy their home made hot sauce!
Was passing thru indy and found good reviews for this place! family had a burger and italian beef sandwich and the food was perfect. grew up near chicago with portillos and found their italian beef to be exceptional! customers seem to really love this place as well. heads up tho it’s more of a bar type restaurant with sports on the big scene. with nfl in full swing be prepared for a semi loud atmosphere ?but still very fun. so sit back relax and have fun ?

Rude waitress did it for me. Live 5 min from mass ave and love to frequent but will not be coming back. Have some patience with your patrons please. If I have questions, a nasty tone is not going to make me want to come pick up food from you. You don’t have wing options on your website so please don’t get nasty with me when I have questions. Check your facts before you go off on customers. Will not be coming back
