Ford's Garage Noblesville

★★★★☆ 4.2 (554) • $$

"Made a reservation for Ford's Garage, and it seemed liked a good choice since there were many people outside waiting! We were seated after about a 5 minute wait. This place is lively and the service was good. Our waitress was on top of it for drink refills and didn't bother us too often, which I appreciate. If you want to have a birthday dinner here, a team of waiters come to sing to you - if that's your thing! :)The food was honestly just OK for me. I tried my daughter's fish sticks - and the batter was heavily peppered. The fries were cooked nicely though! I feel like Ford's Garage is a place you either like a lot, or you think is just run-of-the-mill pub food. For me it's the latter."

Indy's Historic Steer-In Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (548) • $$

"An Indianapolis legend - certified by G. Fieri himself! The Eastside of Indianapolis has its gems but this is for sure the best of them all. You can make a reservation or try to wait in line at some trendier places in Fountain Square or downtown but they got nothing on the Steer-In. Seat yourself after you park in the massive parking lot, better food and none of the difficulty. Value is unbeatable, you'll walk out of here thinking you beat inflation like you are J. Powell himself. Coffee is not great but it's standard diner fare, you're here for calories anyway. Breakfast is your best move but don't sleep on the later options. Best meatloaf in town and they even have pizza."

Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.1 (301) • $$

"First timers. We walked in and the bar was right in front of us so we went ahead and cozied up there. I didn't get the bartenders name but he was quick, kind and had a great attitude. Actually seemed like all employees did. We had a couple really cold beers and then decided to order some food. We started with a side of sweet potato fries and they were hands down our favorite we've ever tried. My husband went with the soy glazed salmon and he devoured it. I did the "trio" which was soup/salad/half a club. French onion was hot and oh so cheesy but the salad took the award for me (double nickel salad). Their house dressing pairs sooo nicely with the bleu cheese and bacon. It was so good. Took home the sandwich but ate it last night and it was also very good. Nice bar, nice little restaurant. I think they will see us a lot more."

"Absolutely Delicious! Sitting at the bar for brunch - it was perfect! Service was amazing!"

Sugar N' Spice

★★★★☆ 3.7 (226) • $$

"What is not to like here? A sparkly shiny chromed diner takes you back to the good old days. Once you enter you will be enthusiastically greeted and seated. The interior is very colorful with chrome and mirrors everywhere. Love the seats in pink, aqua and a light yellow. So cool. Their advertised specialty here are whispy thin pancakes. Even so I am not a huge pancake fan, I figured I'll give it a try. I ordered a combo plate which game with 2 eggs, meat of your choice and 2 pancakes. The pancakes come in several flavors and they also have a flavor of the week, which was lemon poppy when I visited. Of course I went for the lemon poppy, a decision that proved to be very delicious. My waiter was attentive without hovering. A great skill in my oppinion and much appreciated. He asked if I wanted to order anything else and then brought the check. The check was presented amidst a basket of tiny rubber duckies. Apparently you get to chose a duck to take home with you. How cute. The tough part is deciding which duck to adopt. I settled on a white dragon ducky just because. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a fun atmosphere, great food and service and of course the rubber ducky."

Kitchen 1883

★★★★☆ 4.2 (153) • $$

"I've been here for lunch before but never at a time to order off of the brunch menu until now. Their chicken and waffles were top notch, the chicken was so crispy! The cheddar grits were also super good, they would be even better if the cheese was more melted on top! Great for a family outing- will definitely be back!"

Hitching Post Kellogg - World's Best Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (131) • $

"Incredible fried chicken! I live in California now but make it a point to pop in whenever I am back home in Cincinnati. Call ahead to avoid the wait if you are picking up! And get the macaroni salad."

Backroads BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (124) • $$

"This is the best barbecue that I've have in Indianapolis! Unbelievably delicious and I'm kicking myself for passing by this place for so long. It is not surprising that they won the County's People's Choice 2023 award for best food.Don't let the appearance of the place fool you. The parking lot is a little muddy. The building is a little unwelcoming and the dining room is a little dark. But the aroma of the barbecue is intoxicating. They have lunch specials and daily drink specials on the menu. There is a full bar. The barbecue is prepared fresh daily. I ordered the Lunch Pulled Chicken sandwich with coleslaw side on the lunch menu. The chicken was moist and tender and so good. The slaw was fantastic...creamy. It was the best slaw I've had in Indiana. There were three barbecue sauces on the table and the Bourbon burnout sauce was incredible with a hint of bourbon and a little heat and not too sweet. Wow! So good. My husband had the Lunch Southern Pulled Pork sandwich with fries. The sandwich was filled so much pork that it was falling out of the sandwich. The tender, flavorful pork was covered with creamy Cole slaw. The fries were excellent, crispy and fresh. Lunches came with complementary biscuits and apple butter. The biscuits were hot and flaky. Very good. The hostess apologized for slow service because they were a little short staffed. We did not notice anything slow. Drinks and food came out quickly. The hostess was sweet and attentive. There is a portion of the dining room for large groups. Kids eat free on Wednesday with adult purchase. They have a nice kids menu. They are located just two blocks off 65 on SR 32. I'll be back and bringing friends."

Hive

★★★★☆ 4 (133) • $$

"We have been visiting Hive at 10th and the Bypass since their opening. One World has a great tradition of good food at Lennie's and the we have been so happy to have this option on the East side.Lots of parkingPies so many delicious piesIndoor/outdoor seatingSome fun menu offerings that make it a little more distinctLove the velvet soup, roast chicken, the bahn mi (so delish), and the Hive out of course. The grab and go pickup is wonderful. I love sending in an order and having my husband just run in on his way home and it is ready to go on the shelf with no waiting in line."

Marquee at the Landing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (95)

"Marquee has been on my list for what seems like forever, and now that I finally made it in, I can say it lives up to the hype. Luckily we went on a Thursday night, so it wasn't too crowded and we were able to sit on their patio and enjoy the nice weather. Our server was so sweet and attentive, helping us decide between cocktails (arguably the most important decision of the night). I decided on the April 25th, a gin-based drink that had a fun Mexican flare that I'd highly recommend. The steak frites were cooked to our liking and the truffle fries that came with were downright addicting. The combo of goat cheese, orange, and pickled red onion on my Valencia salad was the perfect combination, and I'd recommend adding on a protein if you're making it a meal like I did. Can't wait to go back - I've got my eye on the kimchi meatloaf!"

"The food is always fresh and delicious; the service is always great and they're super friendly; it's a quaint and simple place for good food and good conversation."

Grandma's Pancake House

"Oh my goodness ! When I came to this place while visiting Shelbyville I loved it. It's cute and cozy inside and feels like home despite me visiting from way out of state. The service was so nice and quick and made me feel so welcomed. The food was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. When I come back to Shelbyville I'll be sure to come again!"

Round The Corner Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (69) • $$

"Great place, literally around the corner from New Pal High School and just off the main drag! Stopped in for a late supper after the Westfield at New Pal Football game! Food & service were great and the live entertainment was top notch too! We had wings, a salad, and the Chicken BLT! And a couple of cold draft beers! Got in and out efficiently but definitely not rushed! Was a great find and really hit the spot! Highly recommend if you are out this way!"

The Den by FoxGardin

★★★★☆ 4.4 (34)

"I gotta admit that when you come here, and you see this place...your expectations drop through the floor. However, after you get and taste your food it all changes. For a small little hole in the wall the size of a food truck, they actually make really good food! It is quick, it is tasty, and you get a lot for what you paid for. If only the other food vendors at Sun King were this good, the variety would be awesome, but right now this is my only go-to when going to Sun King.Highly recommend the Pulled Pork Poutine Fries. While the pulled pork is perfectly fine but not amazing, the fries are stellar..and when you combine everything else together...they are phenomenal...and you get a metric ton of it. Share!"

Palette, an American Eatery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (25)

"As guests staying at the Wyndham Warsaw, we wanted to have a nice dinner without having to leave the premises so we visited Palette on the ground floor of the hotel.The Palette is a fairly new American-style dining establishment and is worth the visit. At first glance of the menu, Palette is affordably priced and their offerings are generously portioned. Our server was courteous and outlined the specials. She timed our meals perfectly and she was always present without being intrusive. We had a relaxing dinner and took our time through the courses, never having to feel rushed to finish our dinner. The general manager was constantly visible. During dinner, their manager checked in at every table to make sure everyone was doing okay. Palette's natural perception to be attuned to customers is not something every restaurant excels at; although over here, they make it a priority. The appetizer and salads were simple yet fresh. The made-in-house bread was delivered warm and felt soft. The bread was accompanied with whipped honey butter spread and the second my buttered knife touched the bread, the butter instantly melted away. One bite and I was in heaven.My husband decided to order the Chicken Cordon Bleu (yes, that Chicken Cordeon Bleu.) Typically regarded as a has-been, banquet staple he made a daring choice. The dish turned out to be the star of the evening. With a crispy crust and a perfect balance of ham, cheese, and sauce within, it checked all of the boxes he was looking for: hot, savory, and delicious. My Prime rib was tender and robust with flavor. The Prime rib paired perfectly with the horseradish and au jus. My only regret was that I should've ordered the larger portion! The pricing is moderate for the area with most dinner entrees priced between $12-28. If you're planning a special event, there is a small private dining space which can easily accommodate 15-20 guests. If you are a hotel guest, a full breakfast buffet at the Palette is only $5 per person (excluding gratuity). The spread is pretty decent (see my pictures below) and is offered from 6:30-10am. Walk-ins are accepted but to guarantee a spot, make a reservation."
