Natural State Provisions

5 stars.Stopped here to grab food/drinks before going to see Wicked.OMG!!! They have corn dogs!! Or, happiness on a stick! Or, a hot dog coated in love! And they were delicious. You can tell they make the batter and get them from scratch.And the mustard is top notch. It's definitely not just a regular ol French's kind. They probably make it in house, too.I'll be back for more, very soon!

Where else can you get some corn dogs on a regular basis? Love those things. Pickle chips, buffalo cauliflower? Sign me up...Add some nice local beer to wash it down with. That's how we do it. And the final point I'd like to make: Soft-serve Ice cream... with rotating flavors. I was so very happy to get to enjoy some pineapple soft serve... delicious. Just a hint of pineapple, not overwhelming... perfect.

We visited Natural State Provisions a few Saturdays ago for am event that was posted to EventBrite. There was a Dj booth, hard seltzer samplings from a local craft cocktail company, and indoor/outdoor seating. Also a well kept dog park for those who want to sit on the patio with their pups. We were at risk of getting to hot outside, so we stayed indoors. We did play billiards and Operation. All of their games are well kept and complete, including the pool accessories. Super unique place with well made cocktails and delicious food. Each night of the week offers something different for guests. Excited to go back on a Wednesday for Wing Wednesday, $1/wing.

After an active afternoon we needed a spot to enjoy a meal and I've wanted to try NSP for awhile. The atmosphere is relaxed. We headed to the counter and determined to start with cheese curds and I opted for the catfish basket. I wasn't originally going to get a beer but the bartender gave a recommendation that I just had to try. We headed outside to one of the picnic tables and waited for our food which didn't take too long. The cheese curds were crunchy and delicious. The catfish breading was incredible flavorful. The basket comes with a healthy portion of tartar sauce and a BBQ style chip.I would definitely come back!

I gave this place a four star review a few months ago instead of a five star review due to some confusion with their seating procedures and some inattentiveness at the bar. I have returned a couple of times since and have noticed that the restaurant has placed a sign near the entrance that informs customers that they can seat themselves and order at the bar. Kudos to management for listening to feedback! And on my most recent visit, I noticed the staff seemed to have more defined duties plus two bartenders instead of the one who seemed a little overwhelmed when I left my first review. Whether it was my feedback, other customers, or their own staff, I appreciate this place taking the time to look at what could be improved.On this visit, I tried the fried catfish basket which was my first time having catfish. I also shared onion rings with a friend. NSP does a phenomenal job with the breading on their fried food. Crispy, crunchy with a tender interior. I loved my meal and the tartar sauce was great, too. After sharing my sauce-satisfaction with the bartender, I was informed that NSP makes all of it's own sauces in house, and that the ranch is amazing. We ordered some to try with our onion rings and I have to say that I couldn't imagine one ranch recipe being any better or worse than another, this was really f-ing good ranch. I was extremely happy with my meal and had yet another great time at one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Discovered this fun spot from a Yelp Elite event about a year ago, but had to come back when I heard they were having bingo on Wednesdays along with $1 wings! I really enjoyed the dry rub, and the wings are a good size and mix of drums vs flats. Their cheese curds are not on special, but totally worth the $10-hefty portion, perfectly fried, and they're not over-breaded. Hands down the best cheese curds I've had in Indy. Service was friendly and attentive at the bar.If you are coming for Bingo, just know it goes quickly. They start at 7 and were wrapped up by 8, but get through about the same amount of games as other places because they go through numbers quickly and don't take extended breaks between rounds. Prizes include food and drink from the bar.

I came to NSP on probably one of their slower Saturdays (shoutout to the rain) but I still had a great time! With a spacious outdoor patio, I imagine NSP is quite the hopping experience. The inside has this really cozy feel that in some way reminds me of a basement bar space that makes me feel like I'm at one of my family's famous get-togethers. Service is rather fast, with my mom and I getting our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Ordering is done by walking up to the stations at the bar, which might be easy to miss if you don't see the signage overhead. We ordered...Sober Shirley ($9): mocktail time!! This drink is their rendition of an Aperol spritz, and I would have to guess and say it's a good rendition - I have no frame of reference. This drink is more on the bitter side. Single twitty burger ($11(?) with fries upgrade): this is a classic burger with all the fixings, and the right size. This is a smash burger so it gets nice and crispy but still remains sufficiently juicy. Fries are also nice and fluffy. Chicken tenders and fries platter (not shown, $15(?)): I didn't try this as this was my mom's order, but it looked really good and will certainly warrant my next visit!

This is such a great spot! Ten reasons why I love it: 1) The smashburger is absolutely amazing 2) Inside has a dive bar feel, but is family friendly3) Attached dog park outside4) Large patio with picnic tables 5) Creative soft serve flavor each month 6) Both a cocktail and mocktail menu7) Several vegetarian options8) Brunch on the weekends 9) $1 wings on Wednesdays 10) Free, easy parking (downtown!!!)This spot was created by the owners of King Dough, so I knew it'd be good even before it opened, and then it lived up to the hype. It was the perfect spot to meet a group of friends and bring our baby (who we kept entertained by having him watch the dogs running around the dog park - so cute). Bonus: Public Smokehouse by Smoking Goose (owned by Goose the Market) is across the street too, so you can grab some local groceries after hanging here. Go check 'em out!

I had to write an update from my last review because I've been to NSP multiple times since then and my experiences have been very different. Pretty much every time I go here, they are out of a multiple food items and usually at least one of the kegs. Last time I went a month or so ago, they were out of 3 kegs. I really hate dogging on the bartenders because I know how hard the service industry is, but there is simply no sense of urgency from the staff and they always seem very frazzled. I'll wait 15 or 20 minutes for my check when my food is all gone and my beer is long empty. I usually will only order one round because I don't want to wait again. If this was a one time situation, I would let it slide but this has happened on multiple occasions.I will continue to come to this place because it's so cool and has serious potential to be a long standing business in Indy. I think it just needs a little more organization.

Great spot and wish I knew about it sooner! We came in on a Sunday afternoon. Their cheeseburgers are delicious!! Also thought all the cocktails sounded great but just ended up trying a new IPA. Ended dinner with some delicious soft serve! Plenty of parking and the dog park looks great, next time we will bring our pup!
