Stardust Terrace Cafe

This cafe is located inside the Indiana Historical Society. The hours depend on the season from what I can tell. We were at the museum for the Festival of Trees. The cafe was open for a short time when we went. We ordered various drinks and cinnamon rolls. I had the hot chocolate which was ok but the cinnamon roll was the star of the show. The prices are high but you always expect that at museums. The cafe is run by Jonathan Byrds so the quality is good and the staff are helpful. They offer a discount for museum staff or state employees!

The Stardust Terrace Cafe is a perfect venue to take the kids after visit to Historical Society or downtown along the canal. They offer an assortment of kids meals for $5.50 with discounts for Historical Society members. The kids burger comes with a wide assortment of sides and a drink. The burger is served on a sesame seed bun with lots of fresh lettuce and tomato. The kids grilled cheese sandwich is made with an artisan bread. The cafe is a tribute to Cole Porter, complete with starlit ceilings. The dining room is cozy and comfortable and in December, it is adorned with Christmas trees from the Festival of Trees. In the summer, you can eat outside along the canal on the terrace. The service is outstanding at the cafe. The servers are super friendly and efficient. They are offering some delicious hot coffees for the winter months. I'll be back.

The stardust cafe had to be one of my go-to spot. They service is top tier, shout out to Tanya and the food is excellent. My favorite is the Indiana BLT. During the holiday season (Christmas), they sale decorative Christmas cookies and they are delicious.

First time trying the Stardust Terrace Cafe by Johnathan Byrd's Cafeteria, located on the canal level in the Indiana Historical Society. It was not busy when we were there (a Friday at 11:30). We ate inside and the tables were socially distanced and the cafe is practicing all precautions. The thought of a cheeseburger and fries was very tempting , but the special of the day was meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans, which I never have, so I got the special. it was hot and yummy. My dining companions got another meatloaf special, a chicken sandwich and fries, and a build-your-own pizza. It was all tasty. The staff behind the counter very very friendly as well. #yum #ReviewsByRL

Stardust went under new management sometime last year. There used to be a huge sandwich list and they used to offer quiches, now they have a more condensed menu - which isn't bad, but I do miss one of their old wraps. The new management has been doing a lot of social media outreach and post often on their Instagram and share their daily specials, which is great.I got their gyro special and a side salad, and my boyfriend did a build your own salad. The salads were using fresh ingredients, had a good selection of toppings that you could choose from (you can also add grilled chicken). The gyro was delicious.This is a go-to spot for lunch since I work nearby, and the service is always friendly and fast. They open up seating by the Canal when the weather is good too!

Great food! I especially love the tomato bisque. The atmosphere is great, and the staff are friendly and quick. This is definitely worth a stop. The prices are great for. Museum cafe!

Great food, affordable prices, fantastic service. It's an excellent place to grab lunch when downtown or on the canal. Anything with the bacon jam is AMAZING!They also have a fancy coffee bar now too!There's free parking at the museum when you eat at the cafe. They started serving brunch on Saturdays.

*****Stardust Terrace Cafe by Jonathan Byrd's Cafe is open now from 11 am - 2 pm. Tuesday-Saturday. I'm pushing my stars all the way up!! What a great sandwich I had today! The Indiana BLT! It might be one of the best BLT's I've ever had! It had fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and a great homemade mayo sauce not to mention the perfectly pressed bread with the nice cuts of bacon added to the mix. I got the pasta salad as a side and it came with a pickle. You could choose fries, fruit salad, kettle chips or pasta salad. All of it was very good and great quality. The two ladies behind the counter were as friendly as friendly could be! They have a great salad bar that they will make for you also! They will have a carving station as well!!! Oh, if you work downtown stop in they have a great coffee available as well! The lady said come on in and get coffee and expressos! Enter the main entrance to the Indiana Historical Society and head downstairs. They have outdoor seating facing the canal as well and air conditioned indoor seating available.

I was a little worried a year or so ago when the IHS's café changed hands from the previous caterer, but I want to say the service and consistency of the food is even better now that it is managed by Jonathan Byrd's. They have a standard menu of deli fare, with a rotating selection of daily and seasonal specials. I usually get the special, and whether it's a Reuben or Mahi Mahi tacos, it's always been executed perfectly. They have something for all appetites, from kids, to vegetarians, to those seeking a heartier meal. The canal-side location makes this a great spot for people watching over lunch. Please note that they are closed Sunday and Monday, and offer a discount to State Government Center employees.

Amazing customer service!! Great cafe style food! Would come here again. Plus who doesn't love free refills. :)
