    Bru Board
    Katherine A.

    We had a fabulous Happy Hour visit to Bru Burger at Keystone. I met friends that I hadn't seen in a while. The restaurant is upscale inside with high ceiling and cozy booths. Terra, our server, was 5 star welcoming, friendly, engaging and attentive. She made recommendations and with a great sense of humor. We sat for three hours, talked, giggled, and never felt rushed. We ordered several signature cocktails. I had a Pear Cosmo, which was delicious. I also had a Spicy Pomegranate Margarita, which as absolutely fabulous, and my favorite. (Drinks are $3 off during Happy Hour). We shared a huge platter of BBQ Nachos, which were fresh with lots of toppings including guacamole. The hand battered Onion Rings were addictive with the airy batter and sweet onions and included house made fresh spicy ketchup. The Bru Board was ok with a selection of cheese and salamis. The tomato jam on the Bru Board and pimiento cheese were our favorites on the board. The apps are half priced during happy hour, so it was our chance to try a lot of different things. Bru Burger is a member of the Cunningham Group of restaurants so you can get points on your VIP card. The restaurant had nice outdoor seating for warmer weather. They are located on a side road, so you don't have to be in the crazy Keystone traffic. There is plenty of parking including very close handicapped. I'd return in a heartbeat. So good.

    This location at Keystone at the Crossing left much to be desired. We visited on a Friday afternoon around 4:00 PM, and although only a few tables were occupied, the restaurant didn't seem busy. While the staff was friendly and the place was clean, the dining experience fell short. The food was disappointing, and the service was surprisingly slow given the lack of patrons, which left us puzzled. After some time, we finally placed our orders. I chose a salad, while my friend opted for a burger with French fries. Unfortunately, the French fries arrived lukewarm at best, suggesting they had been sitting out while our meals were being prepared. My friend's burger was also served at a less-than-acceptable temperature; she noted it seemed to have been neglected for too long before being brought to our table. My salad was simply mediocre, lacking any noteworthy flavor. Based on this experience, I'm hesitant to return to this location. In contrast, I've enjoyed dining at the downtown and Carmel locations and will certainly choose to visit those again.

    I come here a lot so I usually call the order in so I don't have a long wait. I was informed it would take 15 minutes.. I arrived only to find out they didn't even bother to put in the order. It's not like they were busy tonight. I had to wait another additional 20 minutes for my order. I've never had this problem before. I ordered the impossible burger and when I got home it was way overcooked and dry. I've never had this level of service before and hope this was an anomaly.

    Angry Mac and Cheese
    Chris C.

    Came here on a Thursday and sat at the bar. The place was busy but the bartender was amazing. So attentive and engaging. Had the Angry Mac and Cheese. It's more watery than creamy but still very good. Drinks were good too. In fact, I liked it so much I can back for lunch the next day. Had the pimento burger which was excellent! Great experience all around.

    Gorgonberry Pecan salad
    Elaine F.

    Typically order take out, however decided to grab a table and my usual Bru Burger with Bacon, Taleggio Cheese, Tomato Jam, Caramelized Onion, and Lettuce. It's the tomato jam and caramelized onions that make this burger special. Fries were amazing and enough to share.

    This location is kind of hidden away next to the Fashion Mall, but it's worth the effort to find it. They have 1/2 price appetizers (and drink specials) during happy hour. On a Wednesday at 5 PM, there is hardly anyone here so you can be in and out in less than 45 minutes easily.

    Nashville hot chicken tenders
    Janelle P.

    Great spot for a classic burger & chill patio vibes. Service was friendly, and there's a solid variety of burger options. The BRU fries with dipping sauces were super tasty, and the Nashville hot chicken tenders were a nice surprise - crispy but tender.

    Stilton Bleu Cheese*

    Bru Burger is a classic staple when I think about getting a burger in Indianapolis. The Keystone location has a great atmosphere and I love that they have indoor and outdoor seating options. We opted to sit outside, and I ordered the Stilton burger and added a side of onion rings. Everything was so good and flavorful. If you love onion rings, try these with the house made ketchup!! The Cunningham group does a wonderful job, and if you frequent their restaurants make sure to sign up for rewards.

    Gorgonberry pecan salad
    The R.

    This review is long overdue! The keystone Bru burger is truly exceptional! In our opinion what makes a restaurant is consistency! Can they consistently show up with good quality food? For this Bru burger it is an absolute YES! We order chicken fingers, fries, and the gorgonberry salad most times and every time it is exceptional! For this date we tried some devour Indy menu items and it was exceptional as well. We also love SAUCE and bru burger never skimps in that department. At this point if you haven't tried this place your missing out not only on great food but an experience of quality you won't forget!!! 10/10 :)

    Half-eaten BBQ Nachos

    I liked the food. The nachos were great. The service was great. I liked how the ambience of the restaurant was modern.

    We had a Cunningham gift card to use up from Christmas and we've not been to this BRU location. Couldn't get a reservation on open table so went hoping we could still get a table. When we arrived they wren't that busy. By the time we left, the place was packed. Service was a bit slow but alright. We started with a Pretzel and cheese. It was great. I got the Gorganberry Salad with Blackened Salmon. I love this salad and had it many times. The salmon was good but blackened only in color. No real distinctive blackening seasoning. Husband got a bacon cheese burger and a side of onion rings. He like the burger and hated the onion rings. The batter was too thick and they weren't fully done. They were kinda doughy and chewy. Over all pretty much what we have come to expect from BRU. They've been pretty consistent from location to location.

    Peach-White Chocolate Bread Pudding - partially eaten!
    Carolene M.

    For burgers, this is a great restaurant. They are fresh, tasty, and large. I was not happy with the fries. All the fries were overcooked in our group and it looked like some of us got the crumbs from a batch. I almost got a salad instead and now I wish I had. The appetizers were so good! We had several at our table. Enjoyed the soft pretzels and the dip trio with naan. The peach white chocolate bread pudding with ice cream was amazing!

    TURKEY BURGER Carrot-Ginger Slaw, Peach Compote, Curry Mayo, Oat Bun

    I've been several times before but it's been some years so when this came up on devour Indy I jumped on it. I had the GORGONBERRY PECAN salad with Mixed Greens, Cranberry-Poppyseed Dressing, Gorgonzola, Cranberry, Candied Pecan, Bacon. Sorry I didn't get a picture but it looked SO good I just jumped right in! It was everybody as good as it tasted. Had TURKEY BURGER with Carrot-Ginger Slaw, Peach Compote, Curry Mayo, Oat Bun. The ginger was strong and a very different taste but it was very good. It made the turkey flavorful and moist. Also took some chili fries to go. Has white cheddar cheese sauce and chili. Good fries but not very much flavor. Mabry need to add a few jalapeños or fresh chopped green onions and shredded jalapeño cheese. Something to give it a little kick. But they were $6 so you get alot for that price. Nice restaurant nice location nice staff nice price

    2 stars…read more Unimpressive. Service was slower than molasses on a cold day. We ordered two appetizers, and it took nearly 30 minutes for them to arrive. 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.

Over my various visits I have tried a burger, a quesadilla, some appetizers, and finally sushi. Definitely the sushi was the best meal I've had here. I ordered a crab Rangoon roll and California roll. While I thought the California roll was just average, the crab Rangoon roll was excellent! I would definitely order it again. From our booth near the bar we could see water dripping down from the ceiling onto the floor and a couple of other nearby booths. A few employees were cleaning up the water but I wondered what the source of the water was since it had not been raining. Service has always been good enough here. Not excellent, not poor, but good enough. I'll definitely stick with the sushi on my next visit.

We ordered a specialty sushi roll to start and we were impressed with the quality. Our only complaint was the table's soy sauce tasted a little weak. I decided to try their All American Mini Burgers and they did not disappoint. 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. Our service was crazy fast and we had multiple servers check in with us at the right times to make sure we didn't need anything. Drink refills arrived at the table without us even asking and we really appreciated how efficient and friendly the service was, it really stood out!
