The original Yats is a staple of the SoBro area. I have been too many Yats, and this is always my favorite.

The atmosphere is in homage to the New Orleans style of cajun creole.
The people are always very friendly and the food is always the best meal for the money. Samples are always available. Always have more than one favorite in case they are out of yours.

On a nice day you can sit outside. If you are lucky, the owner and founder
Joe Vuskovich will come out of the kitchen with your order. It has happened to me at least a half dozen times.

During COVID, they were one of the only restaurants open for takeout in the area.

We got 3 meals to go and got the food in under 5 minutes. Always love the drunken chicken, but I have at least 6 go-tos. Try them all.

I have truly never been disappointed by food or service at Yats. Some days I wake up thinking abt extra bread.

This place just does everything right. Counter service is quick and efficient with food delivered to your table in a takeaway container which makes it easy when you don’t finish your meal. Portions come out hot and generous. The flavors and aromas are one of a kind and incredible. If you’re sick, cold, or just want a flavorful meal for the right price, Yats is where you need to go. The booths are comfortable, self serve refills on drinks, and New Orleans style jazz music ranging from slow to upbeat at the right volume to create an inviting atmosphere. Truly a gem. Parking can be a bit difficult, but it’s worth a walk!

My husband and I Love Yats. You can tell with every bite, that this food had care and love poured in. If youre unsure, ask to taste anything on the menu because they're mote than happy to help you pick the best plate for you. Customer service is top notch! Everyone gets treated like family from.the moment you walk in the door. Every member of staff is vibrating with positivity, and poses patience and kindness. If you're lucky enough to stop in when the owner Joe is there with his apron on, introduce yourself because you'll be meeting the mayor. This man is a treasure and his restaurant is an absolute gem in the community.

Walked in and was greeted right away. Had some friendly small talk about the Chicago Bears, which made the place feel really welcoming. Cozy atmosphere, great staff, and exceptional food.

Yats is always wonderful. I have been going for many years. This location is tucked near Broad Ripple and has a nice outdoor patio. Street parking though so be prepared. My favorite is the chicken maque choux.
