The place is a little rough around the edges, in need of some repair, but the place is clean, service good, great food & the atmosphere is old school, the manager was friendly & spent time visiting patrons. Burgers are really good & onion rings were great, fried just right, the whole onion did not come out in the first bite!! They aren't open late, last orders taken at 3:15pm (I think). That was the first time in many years we have closed a bar!!

Waited a very long time come here not only for the burger, but also for the history. If you’ve never been, I recommend doing that. As for the burger, I had the Giant Double. The patties were perfect with excellent crust, lacy crisp edges, and still juicy. I’ve read negative things about the service, but out of the 5 times I have I’ve gotten very friendly and prompt service. If you’ve never imbibe, don’t pass on the missive, frosty drafts on tap. I 100% recommend this place for the food and the history.

Smashburgers are amazing. But...try the tenderloin sandwich.
Best in the State!

Iconic old school. Smash burger and onion rings are always the best. Not fast but well worth it as you sit and soak up place.

I come to IND every now and then for work and this place has been on my list for a while because I love a good burger, and a good independently owned hole in the wall.

Let me tell you, this place is the gem of all gems and I hope the people in this city keep it alive. The burger was fantastic, and the room is just dripping with cultural history and personality. Good to see a place like this kicking in 2025.

The Workingman's Friend is legendary in Indy. I really enjoyed my visit there, the food was great, real laid back vibe but don't forget to bring cash, no plastic accepted there. Did not disappoint!

I read that they have the best burger in Indy. I wouldn't say that, but they do make a very good one. We received excellent service on three Saturday lunch when we visited. The place is a 21 and over bar, so you can't bring the kids. It's also cash only with no ATM inside.
