What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the generous portions, friendly service, and comforting food like burgers, loaded tots, and tenderloin sandwiches. Diners love the welcoming staff and say it’s a perfect spot to relax and fuel up before a concert. The beer list also gets frequent shoutouts for strong local selections.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the space can get a little crowded during peak hours, especially before big events. While the atmosphere is lively, it might not be the best pick if you're looking for a quiet, intimate dinner.

l Nice place to grab a drink and a casual dinner. The dining room is small, but feels cozy. We stopped here 2x while visiting Indy -- the 1st night for a drink, and the 2nd time for a late-night...

l Came here for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon, managed to find a table outside. Food and service were decent and we would certainly return if back in Indy
