21 Best Southern Restaurants in Indianapolis

“Best Soul Food in the state of Indiana!?Grilled Cajun Catfish,mac & cheese,collard greens,customer service???“

“I recently visited His Place Eatery while in Indianapolis and decided to try something a little different — the grilled collard greens and cheese sandwich with sweet potatoes, plus an additional side of collard greens.

The collard greens grilled cheese is a great and creative concept. My only concern was that the greens were a bit too juicy, which made the sandwich soggy. Because of that, it’s probably not something I would order again personally.

That said, the food overall was very tasty, and the flavors were on point. The collard greens and sweet potatoes were well-seasoned and enjoyable. I appreciate the creativity and soul put into the dishes.

The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, making it a good spot if you're craving traditional comfort food.

I'll most definitely revisit and try other items on the menu!

“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!“

“I finally got the chance to stop in to check them out at the Central Library, and my experience could not have been better! The lovely barista was so lovely to chat with, and the mocha was beyond belief! The perfect blend of chocolate and coffee, without being super sweet. And the prices are very reasonable, compared to many of the local shops around downtown. Do yourself a favor, go to the library, grab yourself a book, and try their coffee! They also have a seating area, so you can enjoy a nice, quiet moment to yourself, should you like. Next time I'll get some food as well, and will report back on that. (I will say, even though I didn't eat, the smells at the cafe were heavenly, so I imagine it will be a delightful meal!) Thanks again, and stay wonderful!“

“Always have a blast! Love the banter! Staff is awesome! Food is good!“

“On a Saturday at early lunch time, I ordered ahead expecting it would be busy. At my pickup time, even though they look to be very busy in the restaurant, I got my order without any delays at the drive thru. Order was correct, person at the window was friendly, and the food was great. And as always at Chicken Salad Chick, it's a great alternative to a burger and fries.“

“chicken here is the best!“

“First time to go to Chicken Salad Chicks, and we loved it ! Pleasant ordering service and advice on the choices, and great lunch. We will definitely keep this restaurant on our go to list. A plus service, atmosphere and food!“

“foods fire. they treat customers like family they haven't seen in a while. just wanna feed ya. very professional environment.“

“Had the best experience thanks to our waitress Whitney! I’ve never experienced such great service! She was so genuine, kind and funny. She literally mad the meal and experience one of the best I’ve had in a while. If there’s an employee of the month, Whitney deserves it!!“

“We had a late evening dinner after a big win at the track. The entire meal was incredible and our server was the best! This meal made for a great Grand Finale to our epic weekend in Indy. Thank you for making our family feel loved and celebrated. We will always remember your kindness.“

“Nice spot to have fun at and enjoy yourself“

“This place is the bomb dot com and both Kisha and Keisha have excellent customer service skills. The restaurant is extremely clean, the food is hot, delicious and fresh, there is enough seating for large groups and you will not be disappointed. All of the food is worth the prices and the corn casserole is one of my favorites. Just don’t forget to bring cash since they take cash only. The sweet potato pie is banging also so don’t get a slice but a whole pie so you won’t regret it when you get home with just one slice. We will definitely return to enjoy some good food and great conversation. I highly recommend this place for some good home cooked meals. I give them 10 stars!“

“Service was so much better than 6 months ago. Steak was cooked to perfection.“

“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!“

“Fast service, fresh amazing food!“

“Group of 8 went for lunch. Service was very prompt and they did a great job getting out food in a reasonable time and all was fresh. Our waitress, Krissy, made sure to check on us & watched to make sure our drinks were refilled. Can see why this location stayed open when others have closed“

“A little bit of this and a little bit that!! ♥️“
