    Ube coffee

    I wasn't home 48 hours from Hawaii and I was not about to be done searching for authentic Hawaiian foods! Only thing missing...malasades but, we survived!! Ha

    This place gets extremely busy on weekends. And for good reason. The food is reasonably priced and the service is excellent. I come here because they have some Filipino favorites. Lapsilong is a classic Filipino breakfast dish and they do it right.

    A2Z just never disappoints. Our service and the atmosphere were great. Our waitress did a great job. The coffee here is ex excellent. I did a custom omelette and it was awesome. Breakfast potatoes were good, the side of tomatoes were not ripe but ok. My party also had a Portuguese sausage dish and lived it.

    Favorite breakfast in the area. Been a regular for 4 years when I lived in Castleton. Since moving to fishers, this is still our go to 20 minute trek. The owners are super personable and nice and regularly take time to talk to customers. Waiters are always on time and easy to talk to. The food is great, especially the Island Favorites menu. If you don't know what to get, get Spam Masubi and the Tapsilog. Can't say enough good things. Go here!!!

    Love this place! This restaurant is so consistent with their food and I love that! The first time we ate here we only did take out which can be a hit or miss at places, but it was excellent! Everything was correct, with extra sauce, napkins, & utensils if you want. We just finally dined in and I tried the Tapsilog and it was delicious!! I loved the steak and the egg together. So good!! When we got takeout previously, My mom raved about the burger here- she's picky and hard to please at times so I had to try it and I must say it is delicious and a great option even for breakfast! Restaurant has very cute decorations, plenty of seating, food came out quickly, & the staff was very attentive. I wish I knew who our server was, I can't remember her name, it was last Saturday in a little back room and with brown hair, anyway she was super nice and had some regulars in that loved her too! This is a great place to take the family for breakfast and brunch!

    Garlic Fried Rice - The Real Breakfast of Champions Filipinos have a lot of trump cards, but morning cuisine was a hand I thought the Hoosiers had. I'm not saying this beats your traditional 2x2x2 or gravy laden plate, but A2Z's splash of Oceanside removed the very notion of cortisol from my system. Don't worry though, service remained the Midwest nonchalant we all know and love, believe that. It's a must to kick things off with some fried biscuits for the table. I'm firmly a savory guy, but a sampler of hot cinnamon sugar dough deserves the play. Following this up with some marinated Tapsilog steak strips felt akin to a well-timed no-look one-two passing combo. Seamless and sexy. Could the portions have been larger? Absolutely. But coming off of Thanksgiving everything feels too small. Just a growing boy finding his way in the world, can you blame me?

    Gross

    Ate here with my mom about a month ago for Sunday brunch. Although it was terrible, I originally was not going to write a review because I usually try to support local business. A parking lot altercation with the owner made me forgo that rule. To start the food was gross. Eggs tasted like powder and the steak was leather. I would be happy with this if it was a free meal, but it was extremely over priced for what you get. Coffee taste like folgers but somehow worse. Wish I could give this a 0/5. save your money and get a better breakky at Wawa across the street.

    Wow. What a find. If you are looking for a local place with all kinds of atmosphere and fantastic food this is your place. Came here the morning after a the Sammy Hagar concert and it was fantastic. I had the low carb plate. The eggs were perfect. My son had the A2Z sandwich and it was flavorful. The service was very good. He was helpful and my Cody never went cold. This is a can't miss. Highly recommended.

    Ala Carte French toast
    Brittney R.

    I wanted to go here because of the Hawaiian items on the menu, specifically the spam musabi. When I arrived at 12p on a Sat, they were packed! I had to wait about 3 min just for a seat at the bar. I noticed on the menu that it said the spam musubi was available in limited quantities, so I was surprised when they said they still has some. I ordered one spam musubi, one Ala carte French toast (2 pieces) and a POG to drink. The musabi was good, but I felt like it had too much rice. The flavoring of the spam was overpowered by the rice. The POG was mostly orange juice. But the French toast was good. And the service was good too. I don't know of I'll be back. I was a bit disappointed. The items are definitely better in Hawaii.

    Daily/weekend specials- the Island Burrito was great!

During that entire time, no one had even taken our entrée order. Our server was pleasant, but she wasn't very present. We found ourselves constantly looking around for her, but she was nowhere to be found when we needed something. She brought me a glass of water without ice, so I had to ask for it. Thankfully, they have the good nugget ice, so that was definitely a win. One thing that really stood out was the food delivery. Normally, restaurants use seat numbers so the food runner knows exactly where each dish belongs. Instead, they just placed plates wherever there was space. It was odd. Maybe it was because we were seated at a round table? I ordered the wings with a side of broccoli. The wings were decent--good enough, but nothing I'd go out of my way to order again. The broccoli was cooked perfectly, but unfortunately it wasn't warm. I also asked for hot habanero sauce and a side of garlic butter. The habanero sauce was disappointingly watery, and the garlic butter arrived cold. Why not melt the butter before bringing it to the table? The entire experience left me scratching my head. That said, I'll definitely give them another chance because this really felt like an off night. I still want to try the candied bacon, and I'm almost certain I spotted a hot fudge sundae making its way to another table--even though I didn't see it anywhere on the menu! Wish me luck!

I always order the Cuban when a new restaurant has one on the menu, and Big Lug's did not disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful, and one of the better Cubans I've had in a while. On my second visit, I went with the blackened cod tacos on corn tortillas (you can also get flour tortillas, and they offer shrimp and breaded fish options). They were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Both visits I ordered the spicy garlic cauliflower, and it was outstanding. The homemade blue cheese dressing took it to another level. If you're on the fence about ordering it, don't be--it was one of my favorite things on the menu. The outdoor walk-up bar creates a really cool, laid-back atmosphere, making it a great place to relax whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying a meal by yourself. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and both meals came out quickly. I don't usually eat at the same restaurant twice on a trip, but Big Lug earned it. If I'm back in the area, it'll definitely be on my list again.

    Big Lug is a very cool spot right off the Monon, and even better if you have a pooch with you!…read moreUnfortunately, our experience with the service was pretty disappointing. We sat right in the middle of the main thoroughfare and were completely ignored for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged someone down. The guy, "H," apologized and said, "Oh, my bad--it's all good." We figured, no big deal, let's move on. We ordered pretty simple food, apps and were then going to put in some entrees once apps arrived. We asked for waters and a water bowl for our pups. He brought two waters--with no straws--and no dog bowl. We assumed he was going to grab the bowl, so we waited... and waited. Then I noticed him at the end of the bar leaning against some boxes, texting. So I finally got up, interrupted him and asked for the dog bowl. His response, "oh my bad." Our appetizers came out, and naturally, we asked for silverware. A few minutes later, I spotted "H" in the corner on his phone again. At that point I was thinking, seriously?! So I got up again, interrupted "H's" text convo and asked for silverware. His response again was, "Oh, my bad." I didn't respond to him I just turned around and went back to my seat. Honestly, the whole experience started feeling more like a self-serve restaurant than table service. It's a chill spot and we weren't being needy whatsoever. We never asked for any refills- we were merely asking for the basics. We wanted to order more food, but by that point we were pretty turned off and decided to just get the check. Then came the final straw: my guy had his license and credit card sitting on the table because he hadn't brought his wallet out for our monon trek. When "H" came back with the checkout thing, without question or hesitation - he grabbed the card and swiped it. We didn't even realize what happened until afterward. Maybe that's standard there, but I've never had a server just take my card without asking. Usually you get a "hey do we want to use this card? Or something to confirm. And of course the tip structure is skewed so the min is 20% unless you want to try to figure out to manually enter in 15% (which most ppl don't -incl my guy), so we left 20% and left irritated and still hungry. "H" didn't seem hungover or anything--he just genuinely seemed like he did not not give a shiiiit. We had to get up three separate times to get things we had already requested: the dog bowl, a couple straws, and silverware. (Basics) And a quick note on the 7-Layer Hoss Dip: don't expect seven layers. It comes in a small thick ceramic bowl and was basically beans, guacamole, a tiny bit of corn and some hard cheese on top. Definitely would not recommend it. Way too "beany" and not worth $16 at all. The southwest rolls were decent- very fried tho. Cheesecake Factory's are better ;) The location and dog-friendly atmosphere are great, with the exception of the homeless camp right at their patio entrance, but unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, because Big Lug has a lot going for it.

The burger meat was tasty and well seasoned and each small double burger was perfectly assembled with their special sauce and pickles. I especially liked that since they were slider style, they were easy to eat and had a nice ratio of meat, toppings, and soft bread. My husband ordered the wings and said they were on par with other bar style wings in the area. No disappointments there! The tap and cocktail menu was extensive and I appreciated their mocktail menu as well, which offered several options for anyone avoiding alcohol. The restaurant has a great covered patio area open to the outside and another room with the main bar and plenty of tables and booths if you prefer AC.

I ordered the A La Crossing Benedict, side of gravy, lefse, side Norwegian potato cake, and peach ginger hot tea. I was thrilled to find the hot tea was loose leaf in a pot brought to the table. It's a lovely touch. The Benedict had perfectly crispy bacon and so much asparagus. The egg yolks were perfectly runny and the hollandaise had great flavor. I picked the house salad with champagne vinaigrette for the side and enjoyed that as well. I tried the gravy on some of the sourdough bread and it had a great flavor. The biscuits and gravy will probably be something I order next time because it was so good. When I read they season their sausage in-house I knew I had to try it even though I wanted the Benedict.
