    Vegan Tacos
    Ryan A.

    I've only been here during our annual visit to Post. Festival, which utilizes both the HiFi and HiFi Annex. So it's easily the quick and easy spot for food, not to mention the ability to see the shows on screen from the HiFi. The food here is excellent, very allergen-friendly, and service is top notch. I'm sure it can get frustrating with the crowds, but the staff is always so patient and helpful with all of the dietary needs of our group. (We're allergic to a lot!) I am not vegan myself, but the vegan tacos are *excellent.* Highly recommended. But honestly, there's not much here I wouldn't eat. (Except, you know, the stuff that inhibits my ability to breathe. But that is no fault of Easy Rider.) If you're in the neighborhood, especially for a show, stop in - you'll be happy you did.

    came here on a saturday afternoon for brunch and they were super crowded . the place is kind a of a tight squeeze , but there was ample seating . my friend and i were lucky and grabbed an open spot at the bar top . i can't remember our waitress's name , but she was super friendly and attentive . as well as very knowledgeable of the menu . i had the mimosa flight with the chicken & waffles. 10/10 . the chicken was cooked and seasoned to perfection and it came with hot honey , which is my favorite . the mimosas were strong , and the seasonal flavor lavender lemonade was amazing .

    Located in or near the old G.C. Murphy building in Fountain Square, the Easy Rider Diner offers traditional comfort food with a southwestern twist. We were seated immediately without any wait and our server was very congenial. I ordered the Chilaquiles: tortilla chips, tomatillo salsa, eggs, queso fresco, lime crema, onions, cilantro and vegan chorizo. This dish is the epitome of comfort food. I look forward to trying some of their other selections.

    Only chilaquiles and the adventure of trying a new spot could've lured me out of bed on a Sunday morning after an extra long week at work. I knew I wouldn't regret it! You know this is a good spot when there's a crowd of 20+ people waiting to get seated at as soon as they opened. I was so glad I made reservations in advance. The servers were friendly and kept our coffee cups full. The food was delicious. I'm sad this place is not closer to my house, it would be a weekend staple. Chilaquiles is my absolute favorite breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The chips were a the perfect mix of crispy and salty and the verde sauce was perfectly tangy with a little spice. My brother had the biscuits and gravy and liked everything, but loved the crispy potatoes best.

    So happy we had a reservation. There was an art fair going on we knew nothing about. I liked the inside, it's very diner like. My husband ordered The Square Breakfast. It had, eggs, sausage, home fries and toast. He said it was all just very basic breakfast food. Nothing really great or memorable about it. I ordered the waffle and chicken. The chicken was very flavorful and was very good. The waffle just lacked flavor. They really need to add vanilla or something to the batter. I also ordered a side of bacon. It was absolutely the worst bacon I've ever had. I took a bite or two and just left the rest. Not going to be a place we'd go back to. Food was just basic. Service was good as was the music that was being played. Mostly heard stuff from the 80s.

    Can you say ca-ute!!! This place is a gem in Fountain Square. The fried chicken... is great! Seasoned and battered to perfection! I'm not a sweet potato fries person but my husband loves them. We also noticed another couple order some chicken biscuits and we ordered those to go. Yes, they have drinks too! Want something strong and lemony??? Order the Hey Cowboy. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. Service was excellent and there was nice ambience about the place. Good music and soft lighting to set the perfect mood.

    I had never been to this gem and I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't been in the location since the previous place (which has been some time). It was PACKED. It wasn't necessarily a great weather day so I have to assume it was some of the eclipse traffic. They had GF items labeled, which is of course my thing. I started off with a Redneck Barbie (in honesty, this will be my last). It tasted like a sour starburst. Note - still a 5 star review so this will not hinder my decision going forward. I had the huevos rancheros, one person had the vegan tacos and another had the omelet. I grabbed pancakes and bacon to take home for my daughter. The food was phenomenal and our server was great. Every meal that came out looked absolutely delicious so I can't wait to return and sample more of the menu.

    Great service, plenty of room for groups, reservations accepted AND their food is really tasty. I'm a fan! Creative takes on familiar favorites. We had: biscuit waffle bites flight - loved this! Came with peach butter, hot honey, raspberry purée, and apple purée/sauce. avocado turkey melt - savored this sandwich! Get the sweet potato fries - they're the best I've ever had! Excited to eat my leftovers! My friends seemed to enjoy their chilaquiles and hashbrown casserole. Yum!

    Strawberry and cream waffle
    Marijke K.

    A hipster place with classic diner portions - easy rider's menu is full your favorite items with a twist. I got the strawberry and cream waffle which was overly artificial red from the syrup and it was a little soggy from how much was soaked up. I also got the sweet potato wedges which had great seasoning and were perfectly done. Overall I'm a little lukewarm but I'd give them another shot.

    Easy Rider Diner: the dinner to the show! Located right next to the HiFI, the Easy Rider Diner is the go-to place to grab a bite before a concert. The space is somewhat small but still very cozy. They have plenty of bar style seating, which is ideal if you tend to fly solo for concert plans (and the meal before), like me I arrived at 5:30 before a 7:45 show (doors open at 7) and I had food within 20 minutes of being seated and had friendly service to boot! I ordered... Steak and cheese sandwich ($15): with pickled onions, roasted peppers, and bacon. This is the perfect sized sandwich and one of their more expensive sandwiches, so it looks like you're in for a good deal here. My only (minute) critique is that the steak is a little thick, so this is more of the knife and fork sandwich. Cool hand cuke ($7): as the resident sober gal of Yelp Indy, I love love loveeee any place that has mocktail options beyond the basic soda (which I don't even drink anyway). Bonus points for any place that offers mixed up mocktails beyond the canned/bottled mocktails. Bonus bonus points if you can get a couple different options of mixed up mocktails. Omg anyway with the drink, it's like a mix between a Moscow mule and a mojito and couldn't help myself to order a couple. It's that good. Brb placing my order to get more food from Easy Rider ‍‍

    Mimosa flight
    Lisa H.

    Was really excited to try this place based on the review's. It's in heart of Fountain Square. I'm always looking for a good brunch place. This is a good one. We tried the waffle flight, chicken and waffles with hot honey and eggs Benedict served with short rib meat. Everything was delicious but the eggs Benedict had to be the best out of the three. Even the seasoned potatoes it cane with were prepared perfectly. The waffle flight came with several dipping sauces and the waffle was cut up to. Just pick up and dip. We did not have any left overs. They have a few other items I can't wait to try like the hash brown casserole and breakfast hash. They offer a full bar and craft cocktails. There is a rewards program too. Great food and service only minor draw backs are parking and was kinda loud. Looking forward to next time.

    Service - we made a reservation for 4 on a Saturday morning a few hrs before getting there and we were seated so promptly despite the morning bustle. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful! They also have a full service bar Ambiance - loved the millennial playlist! They had some great 90s-2000s pop, hip-hop, and r&b playing throughout that I found myself absentmindedly humming to randomly. The walls have some cool quirky paintings throughout the place. Felt like a cozy diner but also eclectic house party Food - We shared the sweet potato wedges, cornbread, and waffle flight as a table. I'm not normally a big fan of sweet potato, but man, they were done so well! I kept reaching over for more lol. The cornbread was fine, nothing too crazy to write home about. But the waffles were great! Comes out as little bite sized pieces that you can add a variety of toppings to (berry compote, hot honey, peach butter, and regular butter). My favorites were the hot honey and berry compote. Definitely gave funnel cake vibes with the perfect crunch of cinnamon sugar while still melting in my mouth. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the short rib topping was so flavorful. Overall it was a delicious meal! I'm excited to eat my leftovers! We all left full and happy. Definitely will be back.

    Avocado Toast w/fruit and bacon
    Elaine F.

    Second time eating at the Easy Rider. Made a reservation, but there were plenty of open tables so we were seated early. Service was a little slow and my meal was just average. I had the avocado toast that was lite on avocado, but piled high of greens and other garnishment. I've had better here, so I'll give the easy rider more more try. As it is said, the third time is a charm...

    How's parking on for a Saturday lunch?

    It depends on what's going on in that area that day. I've been able to pull up and park right infront of the establishment and I've had to go around the corner and park. As long as street parking isn't closed/blocked for anything, it's pretty easy…

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly.

We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

    **Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.
