Dawsons On Main

I came here with my mom and boyfriend on the most beautiful afternoon to enjoy their patio. I am remiss that the weather is only good for patios here for a few months, but it looks like they have weather flaps to extend the season a bit. The staff are friendly and the service moves at an average pace for a nice afternoon lunch rush. We ordered...California BLTBlackjack chicken sandwich Grilled chicken club sandwich All of the sandwiches seem similar in nature here where we all had bacon, and the first two had avocado (or, at least the BLT did). Everything came out wonderfully and the fries are fantastic with the chipotle aioli. I really appreciate places like these and I look forward to my next visit!

This was the best grilled cheese I have ever had. Crisp buttery sour dough with a crunch and ooey cheese inside with bold flavor. The chili was excellent as well. Fast lunch on a busy Friday. The waitress was super helpful, I forgot my wallet and she let me know they had Apple Pay so I didn't have to drive back to office. Excellent experience all the way around!

Popped in for a quick dinner. The server was quick to check in as he was busy. Came back soon and got a drink order. We tried the bang bang shrimp. Delicious. That's a big portion too. I also had the chicken sriracha sandwich. Very good. Took half home for lunch the next day. The dining room decor could use some updates but unnecessary of service and food is that solid.

We came here for dinner one weekend night. It wasn't too busy and we were sat immediately. Our server was very friendly and was able to provide suggestions. The atmosphere is typical bar/restaurant. Bar on one side, more of a restaurant feel on the other. There is also patio seating but we sat inside since it was so hot. The food was just okay. It seemed like the green beans were canned, the fish was dry, but the mashed potatoes and the roll were good. My partner had a pasta dish, the serving size was very big, but it was good. The cocktails were delicious. I'd like to come back and try something else on the menu and sit outside.

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time but it's hard to park at peak times so today I dropped in at 4 pm and beat the crowds. I sat in the dining room almost by myself on a late Thursday afternoon. Only one other table was occupied but by the time I left, there were four other tables occupied. The bar area seemed a little more crowded but I didn't venture inside that area. I ordered the Chicken Club Wrap with Potato Salad from the lunch menu (dinner menu starts at 5). Both items were excellent. My server was worried they made the wrap with too little Ranch Dressing but it tasted perfect to me. The potato salad tastes just like your grandmother used to make. I saved half of the wrap for later so I could have dessert. For dessert I ordered the Carrot Cake which was served with two small scoops of cold whipped cream. It was delicious as well.Service was outstanding throughout my visit. The restroom was clean. Parking was available on the street within the same block as the restaurant.

Call in to order a carry out of fish and chips! This is some of the best fish on the west side of Indianapolis!The filets are huge! They are not greasy. The white fish is so flaky and tasty. There's honestly enough food for two people to share.When you go in to pick up your order, go to the bar area. This restaurant is clean and a great place to meet up with friends. They have minimal outdoor seating if that is your vibe.The service is always good.

Dawson's is a popular staple on Main Street, Speedway with a dimly lit, comfortable interior, and now a seasonal enclosed patio since it has gotten colder. Making a reservation is not a bad idea as it can get extremely packed from 4:00 to around 8:30. The patio seating on the north side of the building is Dog Friendly, but the larger patio facing Main St. is not dog friendly.We met some friends for dinner and we had a lovely time. The server did an excellent job, stayed on top of our drinks, and orders were delivered hot and brought out together. Our entrees were fantastic, and I was happy I came.Two of our group had a half-order of BBQ Ribs that looked amazing, and they confirmed the ribs were delicious. One of our four had the 2 smoked bone-in pork chops with bacon pepper jam topping. She said they were as good as they looked. All of the sides were 1st rate and would order again.I had the generous serving of Blackened Chicken Pasta and a side of the smashed sweet potatoes. The light and yummy sweet potatoes reminded me that Thanksgiving will be here soon. The pasta was loaded with fresh mixed peppers, button mushrooms, and Andouille sausage, then tossed in Cajun Alfredo cream. It was exceptionally rich and worth ever calorie.My husband had the Moby Dick Fish sandwich and fries. He loves this fish, but tonight, the seasoning in the batter was lacking. That has never happened before, but he was disappointed. Regardless, this will not keep us away. 3 out of 4 of us were extremely happy with our dinners.Main Street has improved and grown in the past three years with 8 restaurants now between 10th and 16th Street, all with patio seating. There is a liquor store, a home decor shop, a barber shop, an ice cream shop, 2 coffee shops, a wine shop, a brewery, two race teams head quarters, and Dallara all on Main Street. Concerts, holiday festivals, and, of course, race themed events give you many reasons to visit Main Street. Come visit.

We have been to Dawsons on Main multiple times! We've had a private anniversary dinner, dinner with friends, and date night dinners. Every time the service is top notch! The food has always been awesome. Just recently we went for one of the Sat/Sun special. The food, the service and atmosphere is the best!!!

I've been going to Dawsons for over 15 years now, Tucked into Main Street you'll find this small town bar/restaurant right when you walk in. It has outdoor seating, a cozy restaurant section and a bar with seasonal garage door that is open. Ron is the best bartender I've maybe ever encountered so you're very fortunate if you're there a night he is. They have a wonderfully diverse menu options from salads to steaks to pastas or some quick bites. The signature French onion soup is to die for. Never had any French onion soup that good. I tried the Cajun beef tips and crab cakes and didn't love them but others I was with did. They have a great beer wine and cocktail list and have Half off martinis on Thursdays!

It was busy at lunch but we were still seated right away (4 of us). We had the option to eat inside or on the patio so we chose patio. It was a nice day but even if not it's a covered patio. The black Jack chicken sandwich was delicious and was cooked just right. The jalapeño cheddar potato cakes are 50 cents extra compared to the side of fries that comes with the sandwich. They were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside but I think they could have used a dipping sauce like ranch maybe. There were a lot of great options on the menu and I will be back to try more.
