    Great food and bar atmosphere. I had a delicious breaded tenderloin. Service was good. It was busy during the Monday lunch hour that we were there.

    Billy's Famous Tenderloin Sandwich - 5oz.

    We stopped in here for a quick bite to eat. We arrived around lunch time and this place was busier than I thought it would be. They had one server taken care of the entire floor and she handled it like a champ. She was very welcoming and got our food in no time. My wife ordered their Classic Rueben Sandwich. It came with the traditional ingredients. Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island sauce. All in between a marble rye bread and served with a side of sweet potato fries. The sandwich was delicious and although I wouldn't order it again, my wife sure would. I ordered their their Billy's Famous Tenderloin sandwich. They offer two sizes, a 5 oz for 12.49 and a 10 oz for only $2 more. You would think the 10 oz would be the no brainer, but I opted for the smaller one. It was honestly more than off but I really wish they would take the 5oz off the menu and stick to only offering the 10oz. I would have gladly paid for the bigger one if that was the only option. The sandwich came with a sideC and my initial choice Sour Cream and Cheddar Tots was not available so I got Mac and Cheese instead. They were good as was the tenderloin sandwich. It was perfectly fried and serviced with lettuce and tomatoes. Overall very satisfied with our lunch here and would definitely consider returning. I will definitely order their 10oz next time.

    Large pork sandwich with fries

    Ok, so true story. A business colleague and I were in town for our annual visit and got lunch here before our flight out. The night before, I ordered a prime ribeye steak at St. Elmo. God's honest truth, the pork sandwich from Billy's was significantly better! We got the order to go so when we came in, we dealt with the bartender. What a nice woman. And the place just had a great vibe to it - regulars at the bar that chatted us up. The fries are those large cut steak fries. Very good! But man, that pork sandwich was fantastic!! We ate it in the food court area at the airport. We had someone come up to us and ask where we got it - thinking we got in the airport. Too funny. Highly recommend!!!

    Visited Billy O'Neals for dinner. Their web site describes them as a "friendly, family owned Irish Pub." We will 100% agree with that statement! The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The pub had several "regulars" who were all also very friendly. We were made to feel very welcome by all. We ordered beers, fried mushrooms and the whole broasted chicken. The mushrooms were very good. Hot, nicely battered and served with ranch dressing. They were $8.49. The whole broasted chicken was a lot of food. But, we wanted left overs. It was the whole bird... 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 thighs, and 2 drumsticks. It was served with rolls and your choice of potato wedges or coleslaw. We got the potato wedges and they were huge.... Each about 1/4 of the potato! The price of all was $32. Everything was served hot. The chicken was good and moist but could have used a bit more seasoning for flavor. We really liked the potato wedges. I ate them with ketchup, my wife with ranch dressing. (She's from Oklahoma and says Ranch is the Ketchup of Oklahoma.). I had a bottled beer, my wife a draft. My wife's Blue Moon draft beer for $7 was overpriced in our opinion. But the friendly pub atmosphere made up for it a little. If on the west side of Indianapolis (it's off W 10th in Chapel Hill Shopping Center), stop by and give them a try. They are easy to miss but you will be made to feel welcome at this family owned pub!

    This is the antique beer cooler - nice cold beer!!
    Braionna B.

    The vibe was kind of like Cheers where everybody knows your name, but they were VERY welcoming of us outsiders. They were so friendly, I knew everyone's name before I left. The jalapeño cheese cubes were super yummy as was their famous tenderloin. Kelly provided us with great service and a friendly atmosphere. Another cool feature was their antique beer cooler!! It kept the beer cold and was a really beat to see.

    I randomly found this place and it was a great experience. The customer service was on point and the waitress helped me through the menu. When I went it was slow which was fine. The place has a nice feel and there are plenty of TVs to watch while you wait for food and also can start up good conversations. I had the tenderloin sandwich and chili which both were good. I can see myself coming back especially on a game day.

    Interior of Billy O'Neal's. It's not the best shot, but gives an idea of distancing.
    Richard P.

    I decided to do a post-vaccination celebration and snag a new Yelp review. So, I headed over to Indy's Westside for a bit and checked out Billy O'Neal's Pub & Eatery. I became intrigued by Billy O'Neal's when it was acquired by the same family that owns my beloved Cafe Audrey in Fort Ben. Fellow Yelper Rick G. really liked this place and spoke well of their breaded tenderloin. I don't spend as much time on this side of town, but it's a sunny Saturday and I had some extra time. So, why not? Billy O'Neal's is located on the far west end of Chapel Hill Shopping Center. It's an older, somewhat run down strip center across from a couple Wayne Township schools. There are accessible spots for parking, though none were available today. That said, i was easily able to find a spot that would work. As this is an older shopping center, they have ramps rather than curb cuts. The sidewalk is rather low to the ground, so the ramp is somewhat slight. It's definitely not ADA, but it works. There's two doorways to enter - the first a single door and the second offers one door to the bar (21+) and one door to the eatery. I found both doors somewhat heavy. I entered the eatery - it was a "seat yourself" situation. There are signs indicating compliance with health guidelines and that did seem to be the case for the most part. However, the tables were a tad close together - that seems inevitable here as Billy O'Neal's is honestly much smaller than I expected. It's an Irish pub type setting and the interior is fair wood-centric, but I just expected a much better space from what I'd seen and heard. The eatery is a combination of tables and booths. The tables are both high-top and traditional tables. My guess is probably only 5-6 qualify as accessible. Nothing I saw in the bar qualified as accessible. I sat down at a four top and removed a chair (setting it to the side). I arrived at just after the lunch hour. There were only 3-4 parties in the restaurant. My server arrived fairly quickly and was friendly throughout. Staffing seemed to be pretty light - she was doing quite a bit. I was tempted to go with fish & chips, an Irish pub favorite. However, I opted for their 1/2-pound burger with side (fries). I ordered my usual unsweetened iced tea. The burger arrived as ordered. The fries were nicely portioned. I will admit I looked at the burger and thought there was no way it was a 1/2 pound. However, I didn't weigh it so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The burger was good, but not an upper tier burger. I would likely go tenderloin or fish & chips the next time. The fries were definitely good and I would easily order them again. I did get my always desired refill, though i was really lacking in ice. The bill came in at just under $15. It's a modest value. Overall, I liked Billy O'Neal's. It's not a destination spot, but it's a place I wouldn't hesitate to return to if in the area. Given pandemic needs and social distancing, I doubt I'd visit if they had more customers because it felt a bit more close than my comfort level allows. Since they only had a couple other customers, it worked. The service was fine - definitely not Cafe Audrey level, but it was just fine. This actually felt like a 3.5 to me. I'm opting up because of the attractive atmosphere and good food. I'm also deferring to 4 on my COVID curve that acknowledges there are challenges these days for architecturally challenged spots. I will admit that my hopes were higher here, but I enjoyed my visit and meal and I had some time to read. So, 4 stars it is and it was a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

    Buffalo wings
    Vanessa L.

    Can't believe I had no idea that this place existed, and it's been here for around 40 years (if I remember correctly)! We came in because of a Fox 59 promotion. When you walk in, it is a quaint little Irish bar. The place is not huge, but does have bar and table seating. We decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was so friendly and greeted us almost immediately. We wanted to try a bit of everything, so we started out with wings, I ordered fish and chips(fiance ordered mac and cheese), tater tot balls, and finally chocolate brownie pie (when we feast, we FEAST) Wings- very meaty and had a lot of flavor. We ordered buffalo, but when they came out, they looked like bbq. They were for sure buffalo though, there sauce is just a deeper color. Not too spicy, it was the perfect amount of heat! Fish and chips- 10/10. The best fried cod I've found at an Irish Pub in Indy. The problem I run into a lot of the time with this meal is that the fish is so greasy, that you can feel your arteries clogging with each bite. Not these!! They had the perfect amount of grease, and had a great breading on them which made them a little crispy. It came with a slaw that was amazing as well, it tasted as it was made in house. Also, we ordered tater tot balls... I have no idea how no one has ever thought of this but man these are good. It's like a cheesy tater tot, deep fried We of course had to finish with pie! They had 3 different flavors that day (Saturday)- chocolate brownie, banana, and pecan. We were in here probably about 2 hours, eating and drinking and just chilling out, just because we loved the vibe so much. So glad that we came in and we've already talked about returning soon! Highly recommend!!

    Pub Fish Sandwich and Irish Potato Soup - Cup
    Jen C.

    Best tenderloin on the west side, if not all of Indy! We recently rediscovered this place after several years and I'm so glad we did. Everything is still as good as it's always been, from the must-try fish and chips to ginormous 1/2 lb burgers. Prices are amazingly fair, and the restaurant usually has some kind of great nightly special. We usually have our kids with us so we're happy that they're welcome in the dining room, because they both love Billy's kids menu and soups.

    I like Billy O'Neals. The tenderloin is on point and you can't miss with fries (regular or sweet potato) on the side. They have enough on draft to keep you happy with an IPA and your dad satisfied with a garage lager in a big frosty glass. There is a bar side and a little dining room side so there's a place for everyone. Service is okay and I hope everybody had fun on Tuesday night trivia or Wednesday karaoke or the Thursday 50/50 raffle or whatever's going on that night.

    It's been about a year or so since Borage first opened and I finally got around to trying it out…read more First off, I love the vibes in here. It's giving cute, cozy, sunny brunch vibes. My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries. I wish we waited until we got seated to order drinks because the menu was much more extensive than what I saw in the cafe and I would have ordered a different drink had I seen all the other options. The staff here are also very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our little brunch and will be back with family next time!

The market has a fun selection of local goods, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast sandwich came from a warmer, and the croissant had become soft and mushy. The egg was a firm, precooked square, and the bacon was limp. The pepper jam was delicious and easily the best part, but it could not make up for the lack of texture in the rest of the sandwich. The chocolate croissant looked beautiful and had plenty of visible layers, but it was surprisingly dense and breadlike rather than light and flaky. Our cold brew and matcha were both good, although the matcha did not have much flavor despite being freshly whisked. Service was also slow and strangely disengaged, which made ordering feel more awkward than it needed to be. There is a lot to like about the atmosphere and idea behind Borage, but the execution during this visit did not live up to the presentation. Definitely going to have to try a sit down brunch next time.

We started with Tony's Favorite Nachos which consist of steak, chicken, chorizo or pulled pork (we chose steak) sautéed onions, peppers, house made queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, and black beans on top of freshly fried tri-colored chips. The flavors were truly amazing and often places skimp on the 'stuff' and give you a million chips - Dawsons has the perfect proportion so if anything, you have 'stuff' after the chips are gone. We loved these nachos and were from Texas so that says a lot. We also tried the Firecracker Shrimp, which are shrimp tossed in house-made honey sriracha sauce. These were unlike anything I've had. They had a crispy crunchy exterior and the sauce was to die for - I would buy the sauce alone if I could! It had heat but not crazy heat and the flavor was superb. Our table had the Beef Stroganoff. I must say I am not a fan of beef stroganoff - but this actually was prepared very well and had a very good flavor which kind of surprised me! We also tried the TriColored Tortellini with Chicken which had chicken, mushrooms, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto cream sauce. The flavors were amazing together and I could have eaten more of this as well! We also had the Blackened Chicken Quesadilla which was a Cheddar jalapeño tortilla filled with sautéed chicken, black beans, roasted corn, house tomato relish, roasted red peppers, spinach, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. It was served with sour cream and Dawson's Cajun ranch. Although this was on the appetizer menu, it was easily an entree. It was stuffed with the ingredients and very flavorful and filling. All of the ingredients blended together very well and offered a mouth full of flavor in every bite! Finally, we tried the Bayou Chicken Salad which comes with Blackened chicken on top of iceberg/romaine mix with black beans jalapenos, roasted corn, fresh guacamole, house tomato relish, Cheddar, and Mozzarella cheese. It's served with tri-colored chips and Dawson's Cajun ranch. I left the chips and corn off. This was a generous salad with superb flavors. The dressing was wonderful - a little heat and a lot of flavor. Again, this was very filling as well. There was nothing I could find 'wrong' with Dawsons. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was just extremely good. I wish I could transport this place back to Texas so I could eat there more often!

It really needs something to amp the flavor up like more acidic tomatoes, a stronger pork rub, or punchier drizzle. 3/5 Fried brussels - For enjoyers of this vegetable, this is a good appetizer. They're lightly crispy and well seasoned with the sriracha honey glaze rounding out the bitter profile of brussels well. 4/5 We split a Whiskey Burger and Spicy Bacon Ranch Burger and honestly both were nothing special. The meat didn't stand out in any way. It wasn't particularly large, it wasn't smoked or seared specially, it just tasted like a regular patty. The toppings were fine but I wished there was thicker glaze or they gave you some aoili on the side because they were somewhat dry overall (not the patty itself but the entire burger) 3/5 The regular fries are good, I'm a fan of thicker cuts and these were still crispy. 4/5 The truffle parm fries were drenched in truffle oil which made them soggy and were way too over-powering 1/5 Overall I don't think I'll be back.
