My husband and I have been going to California Burger since they opened up on 16th street, often…read morestopping there on the way home from A/V Club at Kan-Kan on Mondays. We haven't stopped by for burgers or patty melts recently, but we drove over there specifically to get ice cream a couple of weeks ago. Their fruity pebble shake is unreal. I have gotten it every time I've gone, except for the one time I strayed and ordered a regular chocolate shake (also good, but doesn't beat the fruity pebbles!). Flamin' Chicken & Shakes was another concept of theirs that they had on 38th street and we used to go there before they closed. They had the same dessert menu and I, of course, ordered the fruity pebbles shake each time we went. We haven't stopped in at Flamin' Chicken & Breakfast since they've opened, so I'm unsure if they have the same dessert menu (but maybe not since they are breakfast oriented). I definitely recommend eating here, but if you've already had dinner and want a sweet treat, then they are a great spot for ice cream!

Service was a little sluggish when we went and food took on the longer side to come out but my parents who come here often said they're usually better. Food: Pulled Pork Nachos - The toppings are fairly sparse and the pulled pork is only just fine. 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. The restaurant and food itself is fine but there are other places I like better that have either better prices, higher quality, punchier flavors, or more creativity. This place simply doesn't excel in any of these areas.

So I'll preface this by saying we've had a lot of truly great food during our 5 days in the…read moreIndianapolis area. Our last dinner - at Dawsons on Main - was the best! 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!

However, I had family come from California who wanted to have a good tenderloin, and I talked to people and everybody said, take them to mug n bun, you know, it's classic, great tenderloin, fun vibe. I regret the decision of going. My teenage nephew, said one word after 2 bites of his burger, and it summed up our entire experience,bleak. BLEAK summed up every bite of greasy, flavorless, cold food we tried. The root beer had no taste and the very expensive milkshake had no flavor and flet like just whipped ice cream.

The black bean burger is delicious, and you can customize the toppings and cheese on any burger or chicken sandwich. Sides include edamame, tater tots, fries, fruit, and a side salad. The sauces, like the salad dressing, are made fresh in house. Sauces include country gravy, buffalo, sweet heat, ranch, and honey mustard. I always order a sauce or two for dipping g my tater tots or fries. The salads are much better than the usual fast food or fast casual restaurant. Always fresh ingredients and the dressing is made daily, in house. Several varieties of salad and they are all excellent. Shakes are excellent! Very thick so you will need the extra large straw. The employees are very friendly and service is fast. The dining room is always clean and the booths are solid and comfortable.

It's a little down home place with a good vibe - the decor is Indy 500 themed which would be expected given the location is a block from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The staff were friendly and appropriately attentive. We tried varieties of meat plate and pulled port sandwiches - all of the BBQ was excellent. The pulled pork was flavorful and perfectly done. The brisket was a good mix of moist and lean (I asked for a mix) and also prepared perfectly. The smoked sausage had a great flavor and was not overdone. The 7 Pepper gold sauce and the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce are awesome! Both have great flavors and the perfect heat - and are made in-house. We took a few bottles to go, which says a lot! The fried apples were quite tasty - almost like a pie filling - very good. The fries are tasty - crispy outside and soft inside. They pair perfectly with the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce! The green beans - well, just bland and flavorless. The coleslaw also lacked flavor. The cornbread was a traditional cornbread - drier than we like, but that's not anything wrong with it - just not the type we like. I would absolutely come back!
