Restaurants near Shadeland

“They are very good all around. I have had a pizza made wrong before, and they were very kind and fast to make a replacement, and even let me keep the incorrect pizza.”

“Great service from Ashlyn”

“Nice coffee shop in the Memorial Union. However, I wasn't too impressed with the espresso, I did see the beans in the grinder hopper were oily - this indicates a dark roast. I am personally not a fan of dark roasts as you lose origin characteristics and risk a bitter / smoky taste. Quite better than Starbucks though (Starbucks espressos are just disgusting, period).

I know, dark roast is what most people are accustomed to. Until they try a medium roast and suddenly a whole burst of new flavors hit the palate (fruity, acidic, walnut, chocolaty, etc.). And I also know most people forego the basic espresso and go for lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks. For milk drinks, a dark roast is just fine as it brings a good color contrast.

I still wish more places would go with medium roasts. I tried Joe and the Juice in Palo Alto and their espresso was tasty - sweet, fruity, creamy.”

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and fantastic wait staff! (very attentive, but not hovering... perfect!) My Seafood Pasta was spicy & soooo good!! (I had to use a shot of lemon juice to keep my lips from burning, but I loved everything about it!! 😁😘) The strawberry margaritas were so good. I do recommend having reservations, as the whole place filled up quickly, but we got in right away! Thank you, Easter End Grill! Our low-key anniversary was great! #Shy&Jess”

“I was meeting a friend for lunch and waiting outside of the restaurant. A couple came in that it was apparent that they had been out in the cold for awhile. The gentleman asked if I knew how much a cup of coffee would be? They shared some of their struggles and lack of funds. I wasn’t sure they served coffee. I entered Nom Noms and asked the waiter. He said they only have coffee on Sundays but they would make some. The couple asked if they had tea, they were given some iced tea. Nom Nom staff allowed the couple to sit down for a good hour, to warm up and enjoy not only one cup of coffee and tea, but refilled their cups a couple of times! Well done Nom Noms! Thank you for your hospitality to this couple!”

“We really enjoy our local Crumbl. I like the fact that each week is different! I enjoy the fact we can earn crumbs for free products, but wish I don't have to spend so much to get any rewards.”

“Extremely fast service for as busy as they were”

“From the time we enter and were seated (immediately) to the end of our meal (we were a party of 5), this was a great experience. Having such a warm and welcoming environment like this so close to Purdue's campus is really great! Kenna was our server. If we could give her 10 stars we would have! She did a great job of giving us friendly and timely service and keeping our coffee cups full! She was cheerful, kind and welcoming without being intrusive.. Grateful for Kenna's great service!”

“today was my 1st time trying and it was amazinggggggggggggg”

“Steak was cooked to perfection, kitchen was very accommodating and clearly are professionals - our server, Jozlyn, was amazing. Very attentive and had a fun energy. Can’t wait to come back.”

“I have followed the 7 Brew Coffee promotions throughout the city, nicely done. Nothing but positive feedback.”

“****Edit: Somehow my "does NOT recommend" was changed to "recommends". I do NOT recommend for group gatherings.*** I made a reservation for a work party and was told they do not like to book reservations on Friday nights, especially for parties larger than 12. That was right around what I was expecting; although, I may have had a few more. I made sure to get RSVPs from folks so I could pivot to a different location and cancel, if necessary. We ended up having 11 folks total in our party, so it worked out. The Bryant sent me a text the day before the reservation to ask that we keep the reservation limited to 2 hours or less (this would have been nice to know when I had booked ~3 weeks prior). Move to the day of: I got there around 20 minutes early thinking they could seat me at the table, if it was ready, or at least seat me right at 6 pm, since that was the time the reservation was for. The hostess informed me that they would not seat me until at least half of my party was there; so, I went to the bar area and had a drink while I waited for other folks to arrive. The bar staff was friendly and prompt. I closed out my tab for the one drink and moved back to the hostess area around 5:50, when I expected other folks to start arriving. I sat on the couch, and the first few folks started trickling in. I informed them of what I was told, and we waited until there were 7 of us there before I approached and told the hostess that over half of us were present (around 5:59). There was another woman at the hostess stand, whom I'm assuming was a manger with the way she was moving about the establishmen, who asked me when I expected the rest of our party to arrive. I told her I expected everyone there within a few minutes. She informed me that they would start getting waters on the table and then they would seat us. I found this a little odd; but, it wasn't a deal breaker. We ended up being seated about 10 minutes after our reservation was scheduled for. Again, I am flexible and understand that plans might need adjustments from time to time. Maybe they hadn't put the tables together yet, for all I knew. We got seated and the waitress got our drink and appetizer orders in. The waitress did a good job taking care of the large party and did what I needed her to with the bill (splitting it into two bills). Our food was delicious and the drinks were good. She was observant and was quick to get boxes for us as meals were finished. There were a couple desserts ordered: they arrived quickly and were delicious. Plates were being cleared around 7:50. A few folks may have wanted to order another drink or two; however, the lady manager proceeded to stop at our table around 7:53 to tell us they had another reservation at 8 and we needed to leave. Had they not delayed seating us and gave us a full 2 hours, I likely would not be leaving this review. I found the management rude for the amount of money that they were making in the hour and 45 minutes that we were there (over $550 was spent). In my opinion, kicking customers out of a dining establishment is not a good way to keep business. Although the wait staff and food was overall good, I do not intend on booking another group event at The Bryant: nor can I recommend it to anyone looking to book larger group events.”

“Great atmosphere. Very friendly people. Had a great time visiting while I was in Purdue. A must try while in the area. Feel free to ask the staff for their recommendations. They know what people like and will always offer you their best!”

“Great food, great ambiance, fast service.”

“They were the only place open for ramen on New Year's Eve, I really enjoyed the veggie option. So thankful for a good vegetarian option, the portion sizes were enormous, and the people were very friendly. Food was prepared quickly, would definitely visit again.”

“the bangers n mash are far superior to anywhere else ive had them!!!!”

“food was great drinks spot on and our waitress karissa was absolutely fantastic possibly the best waitress we had to date”

“Their food is delicious and always hot when served. Their food served is very plentiful, more than enough to eat. When ready to order, they are pretty prompt.”

“Great service . Mediocre foods .”

“Just went there for the first. Awesome cutlet curry and slammin' takoyaki. I've been to Japan and can honestly say their food is authentic”

“This place is one of my favorites in Lafayette. Fresh authentic Mexican desserts and food for a steal of a price. They have an enormous selection to choose from and everything is made fresh. The tamales are some of the best I've ever had and the pastries are amazing. Definitely recommend checking it out.”

“I’ve been here a couple times now. I must say they brew a hell of a cup man! I wanted to give them 5 stars because they deserve it. However great the medium roast Ethiopian was today, I asked for the biggest cup they have and the guy handed me what I’m pretty sure was a 12 oz cup. Now, either he made a mistake and gave me a small or the biggest cup they offer is only 12 oz. Which in my personal opinion, is not enough. I think they should offer more size options for the drip coffee at the very least.”
