Don’t let the small size fool you, big flavor awaits inside! The wings sauces are absolutely unique, but reminiscent of the usual. Came in with my family, they’re short staffed but they let us know right up front and did their absolute best to make it up! Summary: people who understand service, and food that’s worth the wait. Will definitely come in when we come back next year!

Could be a great place if the people who worked there actually cared about their customers. Nobody acknowledged me when I walked in. Never got a refill on my drink though I asked three times.

5 stars for lunch, yes. Based on over and above, totally awesome service. Great attitude, great environment. A+++. As far as the food, I was ordered the chicken tender basket. Asian sauce toss was excellent, hot to sweet, just perfect. I think it was home made Blue Cheese, it was really good. The fries were a bonus, thick cut – super crispy n the outside and gooey on the inside….. and I do not even like thick cut fries. A nice touch was the seasoning on the fries. Great experience today, loved it!

We had dinner here one night while we were in town, our group of about 13 people. It seemed like it was a fairly new restaurant, and was debatably understaffed. But that is not to say the service was not good. The gentleman, that was serving us, was handling the entire restaurant, but he did a great job. The food was ok. Mixed reviews of the many dishes our large group ordered, from great to ok.

Would not recommend for children ! We were there for a birthday brunch , waiter spilled alcoholic bevearage on my 4 year old son and my 79 year old grandmother and then brought him out a piece of cake that we didn’t ask for . I felt that the food ( brunch) was over charged , without even ordering off the menu and there was no empathy for my child or the bill, after getting a splash bath. Also condiments were brought out in bowls , overall ghetto!!

We entered the restaurant were not greeted. Waited for a few minutes and this guy that had gone in right before showed us to a table. He brought menus and walked off no greeting or anything. We looked at the menus and made up our minds of what we wanted. There were 3 other tables occupied in the restaurant and one was served just as we walked in . We overheard the guy say he was the owner and was not supposed to have been there. He was very rude to the ladies in our party. We sat there over an hour to get our orders,there were only 6 people In the restaurant. We had to get go boxes. Because we were here for a conference of the American Legion Auxiliary we only had 1 hour for lunch. We went back and told others about our experience. We will not be back unless we have hours to waste. The food was good but service was HORRIBLE.

The menu is misleading. Prices are different from what they charge. They say that there was a misprint of the menu only after we were charged already. They have imprinted a lot of copies yet did not take any action to correct it. The waitress did not bother to tell us about the misprint prior to us ordering then said that she can’t do anything about our dispute. It was a smooth scamming scheme.

Wooooooow! I almost don’t have words‼️ Right in the middle of downtown Indy “The Block” is like WHOA! The ambiance, the amazing local art that is for sale, the groovy aesthetic… it all meshes together…it just it’s. The food is OWTstanding! I had the shrimp skewers, rice and a vegetable medley. Let me tell you that this I was no ordinary dish!! The size of these shrimp … ridiculous! Only surpassed by the flavor… OMG! My friend had the Salmon and asparagus… the lemon sauce on the salmon is off the chain!! We followed it all up with a Grand Marnier Pecan Bread Pudding which again is award winning! This establishment is a must for anyone visiting. Once you visit, you’ll become a regular and you’ll be glad you did ‼️

Rude owner. Hollered at staff. His attitude was he didn’t want to be there and it showed. Only 3 tables waiting dpfor service that was slow. No artificial sweeteners given for iced tea. Soft drinks were flat, replaced with water. EXTREMELY stingy on condiments. Only allowed 2 small cups of salad dressing each or tartar sauce. One of 2 ch3f salads short on meat & cheese. Will never recommend on my next business trip there. Total time in restaurant was 1 hour, we had to change to takeout as not enough time to eat lunch.
