Food is awesome every time. Owner is super nice as well. Every time we go I wonder why we don't go more often. Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Cheesesteak are both fantastic! read more

This is a great place to grab a Steak Sandwich or Fish Dinner at a reasonable price. I've had both previously and the portion sizes are generous. On my last visit, I had a fish dinner, which came with fries and coleslaw. I love their coleslaw, as it has a bit of a bite to it. It's a great value for what you pay. The service is fast and friendly and the store is conveniently located on 38th Street. This is a very casual place, but they do have tables inside for you to sit at to enjoy your meal. Be sure to try out the frozen lemonade. My favorite flavors are Strawberry and Green Apple! read more

I am literally never disappointed in this place. It's def a hole in the wall, trust the process kind of place because it doesn't look like much. Even after the price increase, it's still reasonably priced. You get an insane amount of food that's done so fast and is incredible. The burger is actually insane and comes with a frozen lemonade. Everyone who works there is kind. I will use every last dollar to make sure this place never goes out of business read more

My food is always good here. Solid choice I feel if you want a Philly. Lemonade is good as well

Dire conditions bow before the tummy tax. Kicking off the beach volleyball season left my heart full and stomach empty. Continual poor form necessitated hustle plays from deep within. Knowing that, you can understand why a cheesesteak stop became the recovery dinner. Lettuce apparently is expensive, as my bill was $1.50 higher than advertised. Such is life! With or without this addition, the Philly Buster filled the hollowest part of my being with umami elation. As for facilities, parking, staff, and overall decorum it's not exactly the exemplar. But sugar this is 38th & Meridian not 54th & College! Grab a bite, enjoy that bite, and forget the rest. Cheers to orange walls and greasy bread, it serves its purpose well. read more

I hadn't eaten here in years so when my group suggested getting chicken and fries from them I agreed. I called in the order and the gentleman took my orders with no problems. Even when I was on the way he called to let me know the food was ready. I was right at the corner so my food was still hot and fresh. I realized when I got back to the group that we only had ketchup. I forgot to get sauces. No worries. We started to eat and the chicken was not good. If the piece didn't have lemon pepper on it then it was flavorless. Then I realized it was really tough like it was old chicken. We did all agree that the fries were good so that was our saving grace out of the meal. read more

Everything was amazing! The polish dog had a lot of flavors and I loved the peppers. My fiancé got the homage burger and he said next time he will get a double. I loved the salad. Simple and lots of toppings. Got really full for only 40$. service was fast and easy to order over the phone. Overall ambiance was greater than the last. read more

Fish barely had batter on it. Half the batter was on the fries. The fries were Old and various colors. No flavor, fish half cooked, they didn't send ketchup, napkins...nothing. Just horrible all around. Last time eating this. I could've just ate the hamburger helper that I made last night. It's much better. read more

Big City Grill & Lemonade - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My first time eating here. It was easy to find and some off street parking is available. Carry out business was brisk but a few parking spots were still open. I ate in; they have five large tables available. I ordered the Philly Steak with everything it comes with except the mushrooms. It was the bomb! I'm sure I'll be stopping in again when I leave my doctor in Carmel and 465 is jammed at rush hour. I like using Meridian to get back to the south side. ESPN was dialed in on their big TV and volume was loud so I could hear it. I got up to date on the Saints game tonight while I ate. Cool beans! read more

They also deliver!!!! read more

Edit: so I went back the next night and need to update this review. Night 2 I ordered the 1/2 pound homemade burger which is night and day difference to the 1/4 pounder. This burger is excellent The quality of the meat is drastically better. Don't bother with the 1/4, get the 1/2 and save some if it's too much to for you. This is a really good burger and for the money it's a no brainer. Would recommend. This place is pretty decent option if you don't want to go far from the fairgrounds. The burgers as good as any for a 'value' burger, which I define as a stepup from a fast food place, but below a sit down pub style burger. The wings were a bit saucy for my tastes, but the chicken was cooked perfectly and the skin was perfect amount of crunch to chew ratio. Service was really fast, 10 minutes from call to pickup and it was waiting when I go there. Which for a Friday night I consider as great. Overall if I'm looking for a fast pickup, I would come back. read more

It was good but unfortunately gave me food poisoning #bummer I found them on instagram it was convincing unfortunately wasn't cooked right or something was off past due read more

The food is EXCELLENT! The service is TOP NOTCH! The ambiance is reminiscent NOSTALGIC, reminiscent of the old school fast food restaurants I fell in love with as a child. The Mr h variety, from cheesesteaks, to fried fish, to turkey ribs is INCREDIBLE! Check this place out and you won't be disappointed. read more

Dishonest Fast Food store. Cashier inflated prices of food (from store menu board and website) by $2 to $3 per item. when ask why, stated pricing increase by $1 for each item fro posted price (but charge $2 to $3 more). Overcharge maybe to self imposed tip. Beef and Cheddar was with nachos cheese sauce (not actually cheddar cheese) read more

I have only had the lemonade which is excellent just a lil overpriced. I haven't had the opportunity to eat here yet but I know it's usually busy plus I think they have a food truck but not sure where they park it. read more

Their Philly cheesesteaks and Polish Dogs are bomb. Their frozen lemonades are my go to must have with every order too. Service is always super quick & fast. I love this spot, it's right by my house, convenient and quick read more

Solid food, great and fast service, awesome lemonades! Great place to stop for a quick bite, and also structured to take your food on the go fairly easily. The lemonades are so fun! read more

Big City Grill & Lemonade - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I love y'all the food is good plenty of food this is worth my money. I will be back and spread the word how good y'all are!

I been back to this place twice since my first time going. I tried the Philly Steak Sandwich. Philly Chicken/Steak, and the Philly Buster. Good quality food and good customer service. There is a young man that mans the front and answers the phone and he has always been more than polite. Fries are nice, thick, and crispy. Lemonades a great (especially when you combine them ) It feels like you are in New York or Chicago when you pull up to the location because of all the apartment buildings and busy intersection on 38th and Meridian. Prices did go up because of COVID but what hasn't? Good vibes and food, keep it up! read more

Big City Grill & Lemonade - Two Philly Busters w/fries and a Strawberry and Pineapple/Cherry mix lemonade. - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My chicken gyro was alright. Going in, I knew I had to keep my expectations low, because they have a huge menu of varied foods and types of cuisine, and that's never a good sign. It's like that saying: jack of all trades, master of none. They have tacos, and gyros, and cheesesteaks, and burgers, and and and ... So my chicken gyro was alright. It satisfied my appetite. My husband got the Philly cheesesteak, and he said it was OK. We also got a cheeseburger and fries for the kids, and they really liked it. Overall, our meal was just fine, and I especially liked that I paid less than $20 for all that food. The cheeseburger and fries combo even came with our choice of lemonade. We chose original. Oh, that's another thing. You can choose different flavors of lemonade, but they really just have a base lemonade flavor (lemon), and then they will add squirts of high-fructose-corn-syrup-food-coloring water in your choice of artificial flavor. It's the kind of stuff that's squirted on snow cones. Whomp whomp. If you're going to have the word "lemonade" as a part of your business name, and you're going to offer different flavors of lemonade, shouldn't you make actual different types of lemonade? Anyone agree with me? No one? Maybe I'm just being grouchy. While I was waiting for my food (they cook it it up fresh to order, by the way, which is nice), I got to enjoy a Puff Daddy/Mase music video on the TV, which was amazing and almost made me bump this review up to four stars. A restaurant that can transport me to 1997 can't be half bad. read more

Everything here is amazing! I have never had a bad experience or bad food! Great food ALWAYS!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. The chicken gyro doesn't even taste like chicken or look like chicken. The fish is supposed to be catfish and honestly it's tilapia. Burger was pink in the middle. And chicken wing was about the size of my thumb. (THE WHOLE WING) I would rate it a zero but I had to rate it something. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. read more

I like big cities. Really big cities. In fact I like a big pair of twin cities. Like in Minnesota. A couple of big cities right next to each other are the best. I love them. Who doesn't. Yes I said "cities." What did you think I said? What? Excuse me? Why are you so dirty-minded? Anyway. I can't give him less than 4 because he's so nice and it's a really original and cool idea in a nice area. Also, the prices of his lemonade and sandwiches are pretty competitive. The lemonade itself would get a 3 - it was really just fake-tasting sugar water, but then I have very high standards because of the Amish. That sounds funny/offensive but it's true. The desserts on the other hand are shockingly overpriced and if they were factored into the rating, it'd get 3. But I will review those separately. And I will review your big cities separately bae. read more

Big City Grill & Lemonade - Hot 6 Piece Buffalo Wings with Fried okra Lemon cake - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place is PHENOMENAL!! The burger is off the chain and very quick for them making it all on the spot. My picky 6 year old LOVES this place and wants to go every time we go towards downtown. He loves the chicken tenders and fries and finishes the whole thing! It's a lot of food for the price so I 10/10 recommend this place. A bunch of flavors to add to your frozen lemonade makes it great for the kids too. Definitely going back any time we head down that way. read more

There was nobody in the place besides me, and they gave me the wrong order. Food was decent read more

Amazing sandwiches! I stopped in for the first time today, service was quick and friendly. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak combo-came with fries and a lemonade. I appreciate the plastic covering on the drink! Great way to keep it safe until i got home. The sandwich was hot and the bread was soo soft! Fries were salty and crunchy how i like them and the lemonade wasn't too sweet. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Says they are open until 11PM Get there at 10:15 and they are closed Have ate here before and it was great They should work hours they are supposed to be open or change the hours read more

This place is well deserving of all the hype. It may not look like much, looks are definitely deceiving in this case. This restaurant is a diamond in the rough. It was definitely a pleasure coming across this place. Due to COVID, they currently do not have dine in and all customers are required to wear masks. There is limited parking in front of the restaurant as well as along the side. The staff is the most friendliest group that I have experienced in a while. They have a wide range of menu items including wings, sandwiches, and of course Philly steaks. I got the Philly Buster Combo with a pineapple lemonade. It was all perfect. I would highly recommend trying one of their Philly combos and some of their lemonade. It is in their name, so how could you go wrong? I could not get home fast enough to dig into my pile of deliciousness. You get a ton of food, so beware that you will probably slip into a food coma shortly after eating your meal. The seasoning they put on the fries is addictive. If you are reading this review then you really need to check this place out. I am hooked and will be returning very soon. Then again...then again... read more

this store has fired my hand into making a review. i dpnt make reviews but the recent service i received has forced my hand. these people are really nice i come here very often after work because all i do is cook all day. i usually call in and come last minute and last night i came by for my usual order and i stood there like a little fool waiting for the tipping screen to pop on. the man gives me a whooops face and tells me he usually skips it, so i leave the store lowkey feeling defeated. today, idk i was in the mood for a philly again and i go a little bit earlier, me and the man proceed to have a conversation. he says "you didn't call in this time" so I KNOwwww you remember me man. i do the same boo-boo da foo get up and stood there waiting for the tip screen. this time i ask him "did you skip it " and he was like "ohhh yeah we did have this conversation" like man u gon take my money i don't got a lot but i always tip and places like this truely deserve it. (sorry for the emotional roller coaster hehe) read more

This place is close by me. I can call and order food and they have it ready in 10-15 minutes and it's always fresh and delicious. When I have friends over I love having them try it out. My favorite is the chicken tenders, I'm pretty sure they fry up fresh chicken breasts (not frozen) and they are huge and crispy. I love the crinkle cut fries and the spices they put on them. read more

Everything is made on the grill fresh to order. I got the American Philly cheesesteak and it was delicious. My only complaint would be that they skimped us on the fries. There wasn't that many in our to-go boxes, almost like they were trying to ration. read more

LOVED Big City! The food was prepared quickly and, more importantly, was DELICIOUS! Sam was very helpful and gave great recommendations for us and for our kids. We brought our family of 4 boys and had plenty of food for all of us. The Frozen Strawberry Lemonade was very refreshing. We would love to come back the next time we're in Indy! read more

You better believe that I make sure to stop in to Big City at least once a month. I'm usually craving Phillys each week, but my wallet tells me to save and I'm glad o do. Each trip is a delight. You can see your food prepared on a huge grill, while sipping on your custom frozen lemonade and watching basketball. I've tried the nachos and a variety of the sandwiches and every meal is always fantastic. I wish I understood portion sizes better because each meal could *probably* feed two, but I usually smash the entire thing. There is parking in the front and back, but it's also a decent walk of you're around Meridian and 38th. read more

Big City Grill & Lemonade - Nachos w/beef - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I got a craving for a Max's Philly Cheesesteak but I'm not going to Philly for a few months, so I needed a quick fix. This place was the answer to my craving! The service is friendly - it feels like my brothers or cousins are hooking me up at the family cookout. They make everything fast and fresh - soggy fries do not exist here! This is also not a place you'd want to call your in to, just go and place it so you get it hot from the grill, I've not waited more than 10 minutes. The desserts look amazing too but I've refrained from trying them since they're such large portions. The price isn't bad either. $10 for a huge sandwich, fries, and a slushy lemonade!? I'll take it. I'd recommend this place for culture, great, food, and friendly service! read more

I absolutely love this place! Carry out or delivery, it's always fast and fresh. Wings are cooked perfectly, seasoned well with a nice crunch. Seasoned fries make me swoon.

Feel good food! read more

In town for a baseball tournament had to stop in to give this place a shot and glad we did. Ordered honey BBQ wings, grilled chicken salad and Philly cheesesteak meal and everything was delicious. Definitely a great choice alot better than the traditional fastfood/ sitdown restaurants. I would recommend if you are looking to get a fresh hot meal. Washed it down with a Pineapple Lemonade they also offer several other flavors. Will definitely return and try other menu options. read more

Hot, fresh, huge portions, amazing lemonade. Shared a philly buster combo and we didn't finish it we were so full. Also, had carrot cake and that was ehhh. I recommend the hot food for sure. Lots of flavors of lemonade and large crinkle cut fries. It's in the hood and a strip mall but they know how to make some good food. read more
