Burger Theory

Love ittt I was so delighted I would recommend this place to anyone who like burgers ......

My nephew and his wife told my sister and I about this place over the Thanksgiving holidays. They said the food was really good. It has been on my To Try Next list that long. I was able to get my sister to go out for lunch with me today. She is self employed and works hard, therefore rarely available to go out for lunch. Plus today was nasty weather wise but we went anyway. The restaurant is located inside the Holiday Inn on the ground floor. From the main entrance, proceed past the front desk and it is located on the left side. We arrived after 11:30 am and had the place to ourselves until dessert time. But I blame the weather for that. It was positively brutal outside today. This restaurant has a huge bar area along one side with separate tables next to a semi transparent wall. Opposite this area are huge counter high tables for groups and next is a recessed area more intimate with booths. Much more seating is in the rear of the restaurant.Instead of a signature burger from the menu, I ordered a "Build Your Own Burger" where all the different ingredients along with the amount of calories is listed conveniently on the menu. I ordered the Pretzel Bun with Beef in a Single Size. Six different kinds of cheese are available to order as well as various veggies and sauces. The burger was excellent! The best burger I've had in some time. I ordered fries with mine and they were okay.My sister ordered the Crispy Fish Sandwich and Onion Rings. She got two extremely thick portions of fish on her sandwich. I was jealous and will be ordering that the next time I visit. She ate the entire sandwich. I sampled a few onion rings and they were delicious.For dessert they serve their four selections in little single serving jars. She ordered the Apple Crumb and I selected the Brownie Sundae. I sampled hers. We both agreed it would have been better heated up. Mine was excellent and I demolished it!Parking is plentiful and restrooms are very clean and spacious.

I came in with a party of 6 at around 8pm on a Saturday and it was a very busy night for the one server on the floor. It seemed like she was quite overwhelmed and did warn us the service was going to be a bit slow, however since we were staying at the hotel, it wasn't the biggest deal for us. Aside from the slower than usual service, our server was very nice, apologetic and made it up to us with a couple of over deliveries in our drink pours so that was nice. I ordered the Sriracha sirloin cooked medium and it was quite tender and the vegetables still had a bit of a nice crunch bite to them. The potatoes that came with the dish was flavorful although I didn't finish it. All in all, if you're not in a rush and like a good bar style vibe and menu, this is a good spot!

I was visiting Indiana for a conference and heard Burger Theory was pretty good. I was the pics on Yelp and thought the burgers were unique and looked amazing. I went with my boyfriend for lunch and the restaurant was completely empty. I was somewhat concerned and we went in and had a seat. The restaurant is in a the Holiday Inn, but I did not let that deter me. We ordered the buffalo wings and they came out hot, but tasted like they just come out of the bag. The celery and ranch was great. Overall, it had a hotel food. No less no more. If you are staying in the hotel or surrounding hotels with no transportation. It's an option.

Tried to stop by when I noticed a sign and saw it advertised online, unfortunately it wasn't going to open for another hour. Please note they do not open until 5:00. The restaurant looks nice, but also be aware it is inside of a Holiday Inn.

I'm updating my review after two years. First thing first, a lot of Yelpers are complaining that the service is very slow, food takes too long. If you are reading this review, do yourself a favor and order ahead over the phone, they do it for you! I usually call them and order about 30 minutes before I arrive there and by the time I arrive they have it ready for me. This is the best way to enjoy their food without getting frustrated about the speed. I don't know when this happened but they made a major change to the menu and pricing. 2 years ago burgers were around $5-6 and sides were separate for $3. Now, burgers come with a side of fries and the price was around $12-13. It's inflation, I guess, although the % increase seems a lot higher than other restaurants.

I had a work lunch here and really enjoyed my experience. They have a variety of signature burgers and a build-your-own burger option, as well as both vegetarian and gluten free options. Since I was here last, they expanded their menu to include non-burger options like tacos and wraps. Our server was kind and attentive, filling our water many times and answering all our questions.I feel that their cheaper lunch prices are more of an appropriate price point for the food. Overall a good option for lunch on the southwest side of Indy!

I'm not a big burger person but my folks are. After a very long exciting weekend, we were very tired after swimming at the Hampton Inn across the street. The only negative was that it was a bit hard to get them on the phone to place a to go order, but we figured it out. The burgers were a good size but not too big. All of the ingredients tasted very fresh. My dad and I had the lonestar burger and it was very tasty. Fries were good. The onion rings were huge and absolutely delightful. I've been looking for a good burger place since Black Swan pub closed in Plainfield. I'd at least recommend it to go. I can't speak to dining in person.

We bounce around and try burgers all over the city. I have to say I enjoyed the southern blues burger. It wasn't just a bunch of stuff thrown together. Everything meshed together quite well. The 1/3 pound patty was plenty.

I had heard good things about their food and saw them in Channel 59's "Where's Sherman?" segment. Very disappointed. The food was mediocre at best and the service was horrendous.
