fat Rooster diner

Went for breakfast as it is conveniently located in the hotel lobby of the Hyatt. Was able to get seating right away and the service was good. The food was just "ok". It took a while to get served my order. Had the Eggs Benedict which tasted fine but didn't agree with me for much of the day. Not sure what the issue was; but I wasn't feeling great afterwards. Probably won't make that mistake again.

Food took about 45 minutes to come out and we were the only ones in there. Was quite frustrating. French toast was way too firm and bland. Definitely don't order that. Omelette was decent but they were missing a couple ingredients I requested - Avocado, goat cheese, and hot sauce. So before you sit down, make sure they have in stock what's listed in the menu. Portions were also far too small for the price. They also don't serve alcohol so no mimosas, but maybe that's just an Indianapolis thing. Servers were quite friendly. But I definitely don't recommend this place until they turn a few things around.

The only thing that was ok was the ambiance it was calm and colorful. The food was so pour fruit was bad, out of everything long lines for burnt waffles no ingredients for the omelette station. Service was very lacking waiting at the omelette station being told 2 mins multiple times only to have nothing was annoying so many people came up and asked if anyone was working while I waited. All of this and expensive. $52 for 2 breakfast buffets that sucked

Ceaser was our waiter. He was very very good and he can tell the guy really cared about the company. He explained to us how important it is for him that the guest enjoy are happy and enjoy the restaurant. Thanks Ceaser.

Food establishment set on the inside of the Hyatt regency in downtown Indy. It was during covid so they was doing to go boxes for breakfast that was ten bucks. It included a couple slices of bacon, a scoop of scrambled eggs, a serving of fried potatoes and a choice of Oj or apple juice. Costs $10 for that. The service here was very top notch. The manager (I assume because he was a guy in suit) was very accommodating and friendly. The food was just solid. Nothing great but not terrible. I'm sure in non covid times there menu is more diverse and thrives more. But it hit the spot with what we needed. We was kinda eating on the go anyways as our daughter was competing on a cheer comp in the area and had to practice with her team on the second level of the Hyatt.

So while the food was fine - I don't feel like what we experienced was what we thought we were walking in to. This had no breakfast menu or hash browns - or options -- our only option was a $24 breakfast buffet. The guy making the omelets and waffles was great - but when you think you will be able to order whatever you want - and maybe don't want to spend a lot and instead HAVE to get the $24 buffet - it's a problem. We were also the only people in the place and service was still kinda slow, had to flag down the one waiter a couple of times.

Delicious lunch! Started with the cauliflower appetizer and it was amazing. We got a cobb salad and BLT, both were great. Good portion size but definitely a bit too pricey for the quality.

I had the build your own omelette with sausage, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. It was very tasty. Since this restaurant is in the same building as the Hyatt I would think the seat covers would have already been repaired. Other than that nice!

This is a fine place to grab lunch (the only time of the day I've stopped in) - but what troubles the Fat Rooster is that there are plenty of other more than fine places within walking distance. Probably the "nicest" place inside the Hyatt/PNC Center itself though, if you're really restricted to the building and want a sit down dining experience.The made to order pasta for the buffet is a nice idea, but having to wait in long line kind of defeats the purpose of the buffet. Someone in my group has always gotten the pasta though and been very happy with it. The other items on the buffet are all good though, although beyond the salad there isn't always much of a selection.Ultimately it's a perfectly fine restaurant, but definitely not a place I'd go out of my way to visit.

Service was incredibly slow. We had more people ask if we'd been helped than actually wait on us. Took forty minutes to get a drink, and an hour for a sandwich, wings, and a salad. Order was wrong, too.
