Love Handle is a trendy cafe that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner on the north end of Mass Ave. The dining room is colorful with the walls decorated in vintage paint by number art and other quirky items. The bright yellow and green vinyl seating is fun and comfortable. The menu is on a chalk board near the counter where you order. The best way to describe the good is Southern-inspired. I wanted to try the biscuit sliders that were in other Yelp reviews but they were not on the menu. I asked and the clerk said they could make some for us, the sliders are $7 each. The sliders came out in about 12 minutes served on vintage mismatched plates. I loved the sliders. The fried oyster biscuit slider was delicious. The oysters were juicy and had a lot of flavor with a light breading. The biscuits are salty, flaky and very good. There was a sauce on the oysters and melted cheese. The beef brisket biscuit slider was very good. There were two thick slices of tender brisket, melted cheese, a delicious sweet jam on one of their signature biscuits. The meat was slightly fatty, but good. They serve coffee, tea and assorted bottled and canned beverages, including beer. There are a few games around to play while you drink your coffee. There is metered street parking out front.

Crazy good breakfast sandwiches in a cool atmosphere. What's not to like? I've been pleasantly surprised at what downtown Indy has to offer.

Stopped by for brunch during the week. I ordered a meal with brisket and eggs. I don't remember what else was with it because the brisket was the star, as it should be. It was sooo tender which was surprising since it was cut in chunks and not sliced or shredded. A+

Hours posted online are rarely followed. Shame because I love the food but it is inconvenient for customers traveling for a comfort food.

Food is always good. They have not missed yet and I have been here half a dozen times. The pork belly is soooo good. They can get quite busy at times but that is to be expected with their excellent quality.

So much fun, great menu, lots to look at inside, and everyone seemed really happy to be there. Can't wait to go back, every other chicken sandwhich I eat tastes like a lie.

Eclectic little place with great food and a fun atmosphere. We came on a Saturday morning and had no problem getting a table. I enjoyed the bodega breakfast sando with fried chicken— it came with egg, cheese, and house jam on it, and it was delicious! Would love to come back here.
Seen a lot of reviews on the biscuits and gravy. The ones who say it’s good must be big fans of canned chili.

The chicken and waffles was amazing. I won’t go back because the plastic utensils are so incredibly cheap I could barely cut through my food then food flung on me. So food is good but everything else was really poor including the

Very weird menu. My wife got biscuits and gravy with chorizo. Why in the world did it taste like Hormel chili?I got an egg sandwich with brisket. Was not a good mix. Very strange place.

Easily my favorite breakfast & lunch spot in Indy. Love the easy going and nostalgic vibes & the food is sooooo savory & delicious. Bodega breakfast Sando, pork belly waffle or whatever specialty grits they have are my go-tos. Fried Fridays are also absurdly delicious. ERIN Is THE $hit.
