Dad’s Kitchen

I always drive past and see it super busy, so I was excited we went during a slower time. Very welcoming spot--we were greeted immediately when we walked in. I ordered a chai tea latte (assuming it was with whole milk), and my fiancé got a strawberry smoothie. The chai was good! The smoothie, unfortunately, was very watery, but it tasted super fresh, so it was still easy to drink. I got the French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon--VERY GOOD! My fiancé had the breakfast tacos (eggs, sausage, and bacon), which she really enjoyed and even wanted to come back the next dayFamily owned!

We were on our way to another brunch place just around the corner. They had a 45-60 min wait so we went to Dads. The food at dad's had always been really good and they have hibiscus tea ( Jamaica ). Should have just gone here in the first place. We both got Jamaica and a breakfast combo. One pancakes and one French toast both the scrambled eggs and bacon. I love that they use orange juice or something in their pancakes giving them a slightly orange flavor. The bacon is thick cut and very tasty. Our service was very good and the food took very little time to come out.

Love the food and service much of the time is excellent. It's nice watching the fire house in the village. They need to get their door fixed. It's not shutting properly which lets in the cold or heat. Our waitress was indifferent to the cold coming in. She's was pleasant but passive aggressive about the cold. Obvious what she was doing

Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. A hole in the wall befitting the area, all was neat amd clean. The lomo was tasty. I will stop in again soon to try their breakfast.

So cute and serves all kinds of food all day long! The tea and coffee were exquisite too. Decent prices, a good place to sit and talk. Eduardo was very nice!!

This is one of those restaurants that I'm going to need to visit again, because my visit was off. When I return, I'm going to get one of their burritos or a breakfast plate, because those look amazing. I visited Dad's Kitchen before an appointment that I had in Broad Ripple. I wanted to pop in to get a cheeky little drink and some fries. I love wine and fries. Online, I saw that they have a wine menu, which is why I visited. But when I asked to see the wine menu in person, the server said that she'd have to ask the kitchen. She went away for several minutes and returned, saying they only had Pinot Grigio. I said OK, because I was already there. I mean, I don't not like Pinot Grigio, but I was hoping for a red! Oh well. I guess I'm curious why they only had one wine. It was a Saturday afternoon.The fries were fine, but a couple of them didn't taste like they were cooked well. I had to pick those out and put them aside. It was nice to sit by the window and look out onto downtown Broad Ripple and watch the people scurry. The restaurant itself is centrally located on a popular Broad Ripple corner, so it's good for people- and dog-watching.

Don't miss the horchata or lomo saltado! Yes, they serve wonderful American breakfast and lunch options, but don't miss the special Mexican and Peruvian treats on the menu. I've only found two other spots in Indy that serve lomo saltado and it's truly one of my favorite dishes. It literally means salted steak and is kind of like a delicious stir fry with onions, tomatoes, French fries, white rice, and a delicious, herby, mild sauce. Loved!I booked a table for six people on their website for 9am on a Saturday. I thought we'd be the only ones there that early in Broad Ripple. Nope! I walked in and there were two other big groups, making the place almost full. I was impressed! The owners were really nice and were hustling hard. My friends enjoyed their breakfast burritos and bagels, but they all went "ooooh" when the lomo saltado came out. It was a showstopper for sure. And yes, I did (and you can) order the lomo saltado steak dish early in the morning. Hah!We also got the steak tostoricos, which were fried green plantains, topped with guacamole, pico de gallo & bacon bits. Those were great too and are fun to share with the table. Their bowls looked delicious and fresh, so I want to try those next time. Thank you, Dad's Kitchen!

Cute little spot in Broad Ripple. They use their space very judiciously. It is a small spot but cute. The atmosphere is really nice. Only complaint is it was very cold today and the door doesn't stay shut. The service was wonderful. We had a really good waitress who gave us some good ideas. She was very attentive and then the owner came over and checked on us, and she was very helpful with information about different dishes. It was a really good experience.We started off with guacamole and chips. The guacamole was very fresh, but could've used some lime. The chips were really good and I'm not sure if they were homemade, but they tasted fresh. The salsa that came alongside. It tasted a lot like a kind. I usually have at home, but it was still good.My daughter had traditional brunch fair and had the French toast platter so she had delicious French toast with two over medium eggs that she did have to send back to get re-cooked but they were wonderful about it. She didn't really like the ham that came with it because it was , the kind of ham that goes on your sandwich, but other than that she enjoyed her meal.I went the more adventurous route, and tried the Lomo Saltado which consists of rice and french fries with a mixture of beef with sliced tomatoes and onions over the top with a delicious gravy. The beef has lean pieces and a few with more fat on it, but I enjoyed that. My daughter likes more lean cuts. My only "complaint" is that I wish there was more gravy or salsa. That is not a complaint; however, because it was a delicious meal.Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely go there again.Oh, I forgot to mention that they have delicious homemade Horchata and wonderful coffee drinks.

We were going to the place across the street but forgot it was Father's Day so we ended up here. Staff was very friendly and the food was good.

- extremely friendly service - delicious, wide variety of food (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) - inside is very nicely decorated and cozy - this is one of the very few places i've been that cooked the bacon to perfection. they were large pieces; not too crispy and not too chewy. literally perfect bacon
