I was out exploring the darling Broad Ripple neighborhood this past Tuesday, hunting for a proper…read moremid-day bite, when I stumbled upon this absolute treasure of a restaurant. Now, to be entirely candid, the building itself looks a touch weathered at first glance but once you step inside, the décor is absolutely flawless. Being from Orange County, I have been on an absolute crusade to find genuinely authentic, coastal-caliber seafood since arriving here, and let me tell you, the search is officially over! The arrival was completely seamless, thanks to a sweet little dedicated parking lot, and the exterior of the venue is just as cute as a button. The moment I crossed the threshold, the lovely cashier greeted me with the warmest energy and elegantly walked me through the day's catch. What truly blew me away and frankly, brought a little tear to my eye was the sheer depth of knowledge and passion they share about their sourcing. They explained exactly where the fish came from and how it was caught with such beautiful, undivided commitment. That level of bespoke service is precisely what turns a first-time guest into a lifelong devotee. I opted for a Fish Taco prepared with a brilliantly unsalted catch, and it was an absolute revelation. The fish was incredibly soft, delicate, and practically melted in my mouthnot a hint of chewiness in sight. It was simply bursting with that clean, ocean-fresh flavor. A flawless, five-star experience across the board for the taste, the charm, and the beautiful soul of this place. I shall most certainly be making this a regular stop on my lunch rounds!

I had such high hopes for this place a seafood market in Indianapolis? Yes please. As someone who…read moregrew up in Florida, I am always on the hunt for anything that scratches that coastal seafood itch, so I was genuinely excited to try it. We ordered the lobster hoagie and hush puppies. Both were... fine. Not bad, but nothing that wowed us or justified the anticipation. The flavors were there in a basic sense, but it all felt a little underwhelming for a spot that's billing itself as a seafood destination. What really got me was the market side of things. The seafood on display just looked sad not fresh, not vibrant, not the kind of stuff that makes you want to throw something in a bag and take it home to cook. I fully understand we're landlocked in Indiana and truly fresh seafood is a challenge, but if that's your entire concept, the product has to be able to hold its own. Left feeling more disappointed than anything. I so wanted to love this place and will be rooting for them to level up but for now, this Florida girl will keep searching.

This place was interesting to me. I would say I'm a bit of…read morea seafood snob being from Maryland and just moving back to Indy after being there for the last 10 years, soooo... here we go. The lobster roll was soggy and honestly? Too much. I prefer a classic lobster roll - warm, lobster, bread that still has a little crunch to it (just the tiniest bit), butter - but not too much. This was soggy and the celery situation took away from the essence of a lobster roll for me. I've never liked the lobster salad rolls, and I did make sure there would be no mayo - but I think this was a bit much. Too much butter. Too many toppings. The flavor wasn't amazing. My dad really liked the perch. So much that he didn't let me try it. Lol but it looked good! The fried okra was solid. Kinda hard to mess that up, so no complaints there. Same thing with the fish tacos as the lobster roll. They're very busy. I like tasting my food - not piling the toppings on so things get lost. So, I scraped pretty much everything off. The fish was good! I got my mom the fried oysters. No complaints. Her meal came with two sides, so I got greens and Mac and cheese. I didnt try the Mac, but they said the greens were top tier. They had a nice flavor, but they're spicy - so avoid them if you can't deal with a lot of spice - probably red pepper. They threw in a crab cake for free and I thought that was really sweet of them. I didn't like the way it looked on the inside, so I only nibbled at it. Definitely not what this Maryland girl is used to... the winner is still Commisson Row on crab cakes in Indy so far. Anyway! Cute little tucked away spot, small parking lot, but spacious inside. Quite a few tables and chairs and fresh seafood in the cases. I'd go again and try some different things based on other reviews.

I stopped by on a Friday the minute it opened at 11 or noon and there was maybe 3 parties there in the back. We had to wait until our full party of 8 arrived to be seated which is standard everywhere. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very nice, however when the food arrived (everyone got seafood boil) my colleagues asked for theirs to be sent back because the food wasn't hot, like there was no steam coming out the bowl. The waitress kindly did take it back and the food was warmed up but to serve not hot seafood, is iffy. My food was lukewarm and afterwards my stomach was slightly hurting but the flavors were delicious and I'm glad I didn't get food poisoning or anything.

They have a pretty extensive menu in my opinion for such a small place. I didn't pull in until almost 1pm so I must have missed the lunch rush. I ordered a Fried Shrimp Po-Boy which comes with fries. The shrimp were huge (see photo). How he fit eight of those shrimp on that sandwich I'll never know. The po-boy was excellent and I got more fries than I could ever eat. Service was great. He said give him 10 minutes but my order was ready before that. The man was super helpful and friendly. There are nine parking places beside the building which are the closest to the front door.

This location is 1/4 or smaller the size the one was up north. It really could use a facelift and a deep cleaning of the floors and walls. They were busy since I arrived toward the end of lunch time. Sorry to say staff not overly welcoming or friendly. I ordered and waited. The Pepsi machine was out of co2 so I opted for tea. I was happy they had sweet and non sweet tea available. Got my Lobster Roll, it looked nothing like what I've got in the past. Much much more filler than lobster. Tasted like a mass produced lobster salad. Fries were ok, not waffle fries but crinkle cut chips. Over all just kinda disappointed. Just didn't have the same flavor I came to expect from Caplingers and a 30$ meal.

To be honest I wasn't very hopeful. I went in dinner hours. Small with a few tables. They had a few door dash orders to go. My order was ready very quick. I saw there was 2 containers for sauce. One was the Katsu and the other Teriyaki. I got one of each to go. Got home, opened it up, smelled amazing, looked amazing. I had taken a bite of the macaroni salad, the chicken with the katsu sauce and rice together. Under the chicken was fresh broccoli and cabbage. It was absolutely delicious. Fresh, hot, the rice and chicken was perfect and moist. For $13.07 total I will definitely be back. I got 2 meals out of this plate.

I have ordered delivery from here and ate inside once. I like their BBQ chicken and katsu. They are both good and reasonably priced in my opinion. The seating inside is limited, and not exactly a "cozy" space. When I got there, there was a self-order screen which was easy to use. I had a little cash on me and saw a tip jar on the counter, so when I paid for my order with my credit card, I hit the Skip button for the tips. However, the receipt showed that they still charged 15% tip on my card. This had never happened to me before at any business. I do not know what kind of error it was, but I perceived it as deceitful and sneaky. However, when I brought it to the staff's attention, he corrected the amount right away which I appreciated. I also saw someone else's review mentioning the same thing. I hope they will fix the issue. That said, I still like their food and I thank them for bringing more variety to the area.

We sat on the patio, and although the shades were closed earlier in the day, they opened them later once the weather warmed up, which made the vibe even better. Our server was very nice and attentive, especially with our large group. We ordered a half mimosa tower, and I really enjoyed it. I also tried Rico's Coffee from the brunch menu, which was so good and paired perfectly with the brunch vibe. I ordered the French toast platter, which came with four pieces of French toast, scrambled eggs, brunch potatoes, and bacon. It was delicious and so filling that I had to get a to-go box. The yogurt parfait was also really good, and everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their food and drinks, including the Bloody Mary options and tea. We ordered liquid marijuana shots as a group and these were great. One thing to note: we brought a cake for our friend and didn't know there was a $25 outside cake fee, so be aware of that if you plan to bring your own dessert. After brunch, we walked around the beautiful grounds, and a few of us stayed longer on the patio. The high-top seating wasn't the most comfortable, but the drinks and appetizers made up for it. The whiskey sour was good, and we enjoyed the crab cakes, calamari, shrimp, and Rico's dip. This turned into an all-day affair with good food, drinks, beautiful weather, and great company. A really nice spot for brunch, celebrations, and patio time.

Our waitress was super friendly, and kept well organized. She automatically provided separate checks without even asking. I ordered the roll basket and bacon jam burger. The rolls were fine, but nothing special. The bacon jam burger was super delicious. Overflowing with bacon. My only complaint is I ordered it medium and it came out more medium well to well done. We all agreed we enjoyed our experience and would have to come back again.

I recently tried Slap's Fish Market and sampled a little bit of everything--lobster roll, burrito,…read morecheesecake, and their lobster deviled eggs--and overall it was a really memorable experience. The service was very helpful deciding what to order. The setting was fun down town indanopolis feel. The lobster roll was definitely the standout. It was packed with fresh, flavorful lobster and had a nice balance of buttery richness without feeling too heavy. You can tell the seafood is high quality, which makes a huge difference. The lobster deviled eggs were super unique and honestly one of my favorite bites. Creamy, slightly tangy, and topped with lobster--it's not something you see everywhere, and they executed it really well. My husband tried the shrimp burrito, which was great for a seafood spot. It was hearty, well-seasoned, and filled generously. It didn't feel like an afterthought on the menu. To finish, the cheesecake was a great choice it was from the cheesecake factory is what the offered for my birthday smooth, rich, and just the right level of sweetness with a strawberry topping to end the meal without being overwhelming. Overall, Slap's Fish Market delivers on both creativity and quality. It's a great spot if you want fresh seafood with a few fun, unexpected twists. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Not gonna lie, my work group really likes coming here when we have lunch outings. My only problem?…read moreI very much dislike seafood to any capacity. Yet, I still eat here just fine. I feel like most seafood places will have vegetarian options by way of removing the fish from pasta dishes or salad, but it's also nice to know that you can get chicken as a substitute on most of these kinds of dishes, too. Granted, it's just like chicken tenders, but still good nonetheless. I really like their firecracker pasta, which is moderately spicy in my opinion. There's no particular fishy smell here, which is always a good sign that the seafood they serve here is freshly prepared. Our food always comes out quickly for lunch and we've been a group as large as 8 or 9. I do believe that ordering is mostly done online in their mass Ave location, though. I don't really seek out a place like Slapfish on my own (no offense at all, just not a seafood girlie!!), but I would assume that it's a rather popular establishment as they recently opened a fifth location in the greater Indy area. If I did like fish and such more, I'd probably be here on a more regular rotation.

Typically that's how I see if I'm going to order more food if the appetizer is good. But as mentioned if was really salty and maybe had 1 pc of tiny lobster. lol so we decided to leave. Not sure if I'll come back because I was only in town visiting family.
