The Block Bistro And Grill

Ordered online when I seen the pictures of food.. but I'm very disappointed in this meal. For $20 and a $2 tip-- I come to pick up my order just to find out that the host didn't "push it through" so I had to wait an additional +20 minutes on top the the original 20. When I received my food, I was disappointed to see that it was only 2 wings--- with one being way too charred and then the rice and veggies. For 20 dollars.. I think $20 is WAY too much. Food was cool-- but the customer service and accommodations could've been much better.

We went on a Saturday (8/17) at 6:00pm. We though it would be busy, not at all and I know why. It's located in a prime location. The space is small, could use some TLC but intimate with outside seating.The service, none. It was the bartender who was working both areas and had a hard time keeping up. We ordered and the food was not that good. It all tasted as if it was reheated from the night before and wings burnt. The fried would be good if they were hot. I will wait to retry this restaurant again. It's not worth the price of the food especially when you have so many other places to pick downtown Indy.

Love the vibe and the ambience in this restaurant! Not to mention, of course the food is delicious, and the drinks are exquisite.Great place if you want to bring some friends listen to some 90s music and catch up.Will be back for sure!

I can't say enough great things about our experience. I'm a huge Great Food Truck Race fan and I loved these guys on the show. I saw they were from my home town, so I knew I had to give them a try when I came to visit. I'm in town this weekend for a funeral, unfortunately, but this was a perfect chance to check them out! My cousin and I headed in and were seated immediately. We asked for some recommendations and made our decisions. What really stood out was the service. The co-owner (Mark, I believe) checked on us repeatedly. He made sure drinks were topped off, that we were enjoying our food, that the music was the right volume, and so much more. He almost bordered on harassment but in a good way LOL! Then the other owner Terry (who was on the show) arrived. They are total opposites lol! He is full of energy, and when his brother told him I was a fan of the show, he yelled "I heard somebody is looking for me!" Then he ran to my table and said "come on man let's take a picture!" He turned up the music and the party got started. I know I haven't gotten to the food yet, but the biggest complaint about many restaurants is the service. The Block is the example of what they all should aspire to be! Now, the food was absolutely delicious. The wings are smoked so it gives them a great flavor beneath the sauce. Some were better than others though, so here's my ratings: Chicken Philly sandwich - 4.5 out of 5Thai chilly wings - 5 out of 5Garlic Parmesan wings - 4.5 out of 5 (could have used a touch more garlic)BBQ wings - 4.5 out of 5 (a little too sweet)Jerk wings - 3.5 out of 5 - pretty good but could have used a touch more heat, less sweetness, and actually a little less sauce. They were coveredBread pudding - 4.5 out of 5 - great flavor, loved the texture of the nuts and edges of the bread pudding. It was a lot of the Grand Marnier sauce, which overpowered the middle bites. Once I scraped some off and spread it to the edges it was perfect. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Great food and amazing service! If you're in town, I highly recommend you check them out!

It was my first time here and I can't wait to go back and try more of the food. The service was great and the drinks were good and I loved the food. I had the fried mushrooms, and then the boomerang wing entree. The garlic parm wings were fantastic but we all absolutely love the unique French fries. All the sauces were fantastic. Yum.

Ordered the Thai chili and jerk chicken wings!!! Absolutely delicious and falling off the bone!!! I'm not sure how this isn't a certified wing spot!!!

Ok! Saw this restaurant on the food network show....I knew I was coming to Indy....so immediately put them on my list of spots I had to try..the owner on the show is the same guy at the restaurant. TRULY BIGGER THAN LIFE PERSONA! Real as it gets. My cousins and I stopped by, I'm just gone say no one complained about their plates. That's said!!! As I told the owner, I came for the wings...the boomerang wings...thet were spot on! Fresh, moist, spicy, big, thick, worth every mile to get there..I am saying this spot was worth the drive. Excellent!

First time at Block Bistro & Grill, party of three for an early week day dinner . We shared a Biochos (Chicken Nachos) platter and we all had the Shrimp PO' Boy Sandwich.The Biochos were tasty and had plenty of grilled chicken, cheese and garnish. It was served with salsa and sour cream. The PO' Boy had five tasty fried shrimp on a French bread with lettuce, tomato and a remoulade sauce, served with fries Quaint ambience, reasonable prices, located in a historic district. Not a large space but comfortable looking patio. Service and food were good.

Wow! What an incredible little gem! I'm visiting from Maryland, my cousin was visiting from California, and we chose this spot since my cousin saw them on the Food Network. Five stars for service. The owners are both very, very nice and attentive. They made us feel right at home and ensured we had everything we needed. Rarely do I receive service that amazing anywhere - even at the most upscale restaurants. The food was good! I give it. 4 out of 5. The wings had a nice smokiness to them, which I really appreciated. We tried all of the wings except buffalo. They were all good - our least favorite was the jerk wings. The sandwich was also good - I can't remember the name of it, but it was like a chicken Philly. My cousin and I agreed that it was good, but it was missing something - a sauce specifically - so we used the dipping sauces they gave us and those helped!Overall, this is a cute little spot. They have TVs and projectors and also play music (which can be a little loud if you're sitting right in the back by the speaker). But we loved it! Highly recommend.

Server, who's name I didn't catch, was fantastic. We sat outside, so I didn't get a look at how crowded the entire restaurant but the window by us led me to believe it was pretty empty. We went on a Tuesday for lunch during our workday. We were in and out in about an hour- friends got a chicken sandwich and a burger and fries. I got the pesto flatbread. They raved about their dishes, mine was just okay but I'd come back and try other things on the menu. Prices were decent, I think most entrees were $12-$15? I'll be back, but I'm not sure I'd add this to my "cravings" list of restaurants.
