Had to have a tenderloin sandwich on our trip to Indiana and we werent disappointed by this pub. We were staying at Ft Harrison and this place is in a strip center right at Ft Harrison. We elected to sit outdoors at tables on the sidewalk which was very nice. The menu had several items I would have liked to try, but I had to get the tenderloin. The waitress asked if I wanted it grilled or fried. Who would want a grilled tenderloin?? Not me!! Its not supposed to be a healthy sandwich. Its supposed to be fried and huge. And it was. The homemade chips were a distraction. They were tasteless. Nice try, but give me a bag of Lays. After we ate we went indoors to check it out and it was a hoppin place for the lunch crowd. Even had people playing pool at one of the tables. Nice place. Hopefully we will be back next year. read more

Fort Ben Pub - Great tenderloin sandwich. The chips not so much. - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great time again. I've been coming here for many years and the food and service always has been good. But tonight better than ever. Live music was outstanding with Mike Barthel. Great service, Rhonda and Kim were awesome! Fun and attentive. Food was really good too! read more

This was my first time ordering here and just picked up since covid was till bad. My food was done quickly and hot when I picked it up! From the person taking my phone order to the very welcoming hostess/cashier to the chef I was impressed!! Great customer service!! read more

Heather was my waitress and a bartender. Everything I tried was fabulous. I had tenderloin sliders with the french fries oh my. God I will be going back here as often as I possibly can You will not regret trying this place read more

Been here a few times because it's close to home. Not a destination point. The food is just okay. The service is predictably slow. Usually full of regulars thatcare used to it. read more

Nice, clean, typical bar, with bar food pool and friendly service. Nice little neighborhood place to hang out.

Great 'locals' place for drinks, above-average bar food (e.g., homemade soups) and billiards, darts, video games, etc. Service is always friendly and top notch! I always enjoy listening to the regulars sitting at the bar shooting the stuff and talking sports. :) read more

Absolutely worst place ever didn't even get service we sat 45minutes and that silly little waitress say us walk in and didn't even say a word would not recommend read more

It's a vibe frfr they got a good selection of cognacs and amazing cook and staff I will never go to another bar again in my life as long as there here I'm here I fucks wit it read more

This place is cool, very chill and laid back, and most importantly the bathrooms are clean! Bud light pitchers are 9 bucks and the music they play is good too. Not too loud so you can have a conversation, but loud enough that you can get a good head bop on to those lull moments. Star of the show today is Jay the bartender. He is awesome, great personality and super friendly. Since it is illegal here on Sundays for the sale of booze, it's a great spot to come and eat and have a drink, play some pool. IF THE OWNERS READ THIS BRING BACK DARTS! STEEL TIPS PLEASE LOL! I'm officially a fan! And they just opened a pizza joint on Otis just a few yards down the way called Jockamo...Jay said it's not New York style pizza, it's not chicago style - it's INDY style. I can't wait to find out what Indy is on a pizza lol! 5 stars for the spot and 10 for Jay. Yall come on down! read more

The sandwich is good and the prices looked reasonable. I asked for fries instead of chips and there was a $3 uncharged for them and they're soggy and gross and there's only about 20. Just not worth the extra $3. Other than that it was yummy. read more

Fort Ben Pub - Reuben and soggy fries! - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Very delicious pub food! We had sliders (chipotle and tenderloin) and both were delicious. Not too spicy but very tasty. Also had the southwest egg roll app- DEFINITELY get these. We loved them and could have eaten them just for dinner. Overall, good bar food! read more

Stopped in for lunch. This was my first visit. The place is bright and clean and very welcoming. It was very busy for lunch which makes my decision to stop here a good one since the locals must like this place. The menu has the basic pub offerings and they have a full bar. I'll come here again. read more

I stopped in this little pub on the fort it was a real nice atmosphere the waitress was friendly I had the fried dill spears for an appetizer and did their hand breaded tenderloin real good my lady friend did the classic club The price was reasonable and I will go back again read more

Fort Ben Pub - I will be back because it's what I do check 1-2 - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

First time visiting this establishment...decor was nice sports bar, food basic pub fair, fair assortment of beers. Seemed popular with locals. Felt sorry for the one and only waitress on duty...ran her legs off, but still managed to be friendly, helpful and attentive! I had the fish sandwich, chips and cold slaw...it was nice portions and tasty. No complains. read more

Very friendly staff, good food (pub) variety, good drink prices. I recommend the Big Ben Burger, Grilled Tenderloin,, and they have weekly specials that offer a variety as well. I also like the way the Woodford tastes. It's dreamy. read more

Showed up about 5 o'clock. Bartender and both waitresses were walking out to a car to do something. Waited...Waited...Waited some more! Bartender came back in served some folks their meal. Then went back outside to smoke. One waitresses came back in and started rolling up silverware. Left and went across the street. Just trying to figure out what those three were doing out in the car? read more

Great atmosphere and friendly/courteous staff. Wings solid and beer cold. Recommend

We were there for Saturday for lunch. Jute Box was playing music that was extremely loud, and our server told us that she could not turn it down. We ordered chicken nachos, the pickle spears, and the waffle fries. If you like canned cheese that was melted on the waffle fries and chicken nachos this your place. Food was very average, our waitress was very average. I have been there many a times and had great service with Robin. I believe our server was more intersted in having a few beverages with her friends . I'm sorry to say I will not be returning. read more

Best homemade salsa ever. If thinking about getting an appetizer make sure you get the chips and salsa. Potato skins are tasty too!

This was my first and last time here. The service was slow but I attributed it to there being one person manning the bar and restaurant. It was only 4:00 so this didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was after my table had waited a bit longer than normal to order, we saw the server take a shot with the guys at the table next to us. Um, ok. Maybe take care of your patrons first? The food was average. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. I've had better. I've had worse. Nothing to write home about. Other orders were the black and blue steak salad and they said the steak wasn't very good. Then came time for the bill. My total came to $7.60. I gave $20 and was given $12 back. I'm fine if you want to round and not worry about coins but if you do, ALWAYS round of the favor of your patron. If not, it's called stealing. Bad form from start to finish. read more

Chill spot right by the CVS at Ft. Ben. I've been in a few times for drinks, a couple times for food, and it's usually the same, good drinks, average food. The best part is the servers, always had awesome service. This time I got the wings, half hot buffalo, half sweet and spicy. The hot buffalo was fine, exactly what you would expect. The sweet and spicy had awesome flavor. The downside was the wings were wildly over cooked; there were s few bites that were testy, but mostly tough and dry. The last time I was in I got a burger and it was okay. I'm sure I'll be back, but probably won't be getting food again. read more

Formerly Taylor's Pub III, same great locale with a new name, why change what works. Fort Ben Pub is my favorite of the three Taylor's, specifically because of the layout and nearby location. I feel this one is the larger of the three with more open space to enjoy. Plenty of HD TVs, always a great place to catch the game. FBP has a black laminate bar with a wooden rail & bar front with 15 or so stools with backs. The bar back has terrific setup with low level liquor shelves and large arches with HDTVs in between. The mirrors within the arches let you know what's coming up from behind ;) FBP has several high tables and even more lower eating tables and a back room with two pool tables. In my opinion FBP has above average bar food. Friendly and great service that is always welcoming. Comforatble atmosphere reminiscient of your traditional neighborhood bar, mostly middle aged, friendly people that enjoy good drinks, food, & sports. Recommend the breaded tenderloin, highly recommended and always fresh! Enjoy! read more

One of the waitresses just doesn't like people. Or working, maybe? She was not thrilled to be there or deal with anyone. My order came out wrong, so that was a bummer. Super slow service even though it wasn't busy. Meh. read more

Awesome place to eat and drink! The staff is always friendly and attentive! Great place to just hang out and relax.

Nice place. Stopped in on Sunday night to meet a friend. The nachos were monstrous and tasty, the Rail Splitters were ice cold. Sports TVs abound. Good service at the bar. read more

TRY THE WINGS!!!! Traditional, mild are fabulous!! These are my favorite wings in Indy, by far!!!!!! And the homemade bleu cheese and ranch is BOMB too!! Great service too! Very impressed!!! read more

Beer was way over priced, $14 for 2 beers. Also one of the bartenders was extremely rude. To the point were I was sitting by myself watching TV while they continued to berate me. Took a chance on this place and it was a huge let down read more

This pub offered up about what you would expect in terms of pub food. I ordered a buffalo chicken dip, which wasn't a spicy as I would have liked, and steak sliders which were a decent. The food wasn't bad, but it just wasn't impressive. Their drink menu appeared to be a good size, but I was unable to make use of it for lunch. For a quick bite, this place will certainly do the job! read more

Good service, good beer selection, and good eats. This place is like your local pub with recognizable fare and a cozy atmosphere. The kind of place you could be a regular and not feel like your going to a dive bar. It's very clean inside and the food is great. It's standard pub food, but it's very tasty so done be afraid to order up. It's not to loud and it's really the kind if place you meet up with old friends and new and enjoy a good time socializing. I wish. Lived closer to this place as I could really see myself going on a regular basis to hang out. read more

Great food and better service. They have a wide variety of options for both food and beer.

I have been here 3 times and always they deliver good food. The grilled cheese is awesome. The tenderloin is awesome. I might have to go get carry out now that I am writing about it. The foid was the right temperature when it was delivered. The cheese was still melted which is good for a grilled cheese and it was not soggy and wimpy. The tenderloin was what you expect in an Indiana tenderloin. Awesomeness. read more

The way we were treated at this pub really had a profound effect on my emotions. I not saying that they don't appreciate people of color in their establishment, but that is definitely the way I felt while I was there. I have never in my life experienced such blatant disrespect!! Being a woman of color, certain treatment and looks come with the territory when your out in certain area's of Indiana, but this place took it to a whole other level. We have been living close to this restaurant for about 2 years and decided to try some of the local fair in our area. We love to try new places, and this restaurants menu online had a lot of great items that we felt we would like to try. We called in an order for pick up, the person who took the order advised us that the order would be ready in 30 minutes. When we arrived, the place was packed with our local "men in uniform", we believe for the city of Lawrence (not a person of color among them) From the second we entered the door all eyes were on my fiance and me. We approached the bar area where you would pick up a phone in orders, the staff definitely made it obvious that they did not want to serve us bypass over us more than several time to assist other non-melanin customers. Mind you we sat on the bar stools smack dab in the middle of the bar. The server would work both ends of the bar and never interact with my fiance and I. They would walk by as if we weren't even sitting there and refused to make eye contact with us. At this point, it was oblivious that this was a thing that was really happening. And when you looked at the fellow costumers and staff if became alarmingly clear why. We were the only people of color in the whole place (except for the Hispanic gentlemen working in the kitchen) The only staff that was helpful were the Hispanic gentleman working in the kitchen. After waiting for about 20 minutes, just to get the attention of a server, I was able to catch the attention of one of the men working in the kitchen. He let us know that our order had never even been placed in the kitchen. My fiance was furious and I was so hurt by the way were treated I just cried in the car. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my entire life! To the owner of this establishment.....this is 2018 and people of color spend money just like everyone else. I am not sure if this is a staff issue, or not. The only reason I am giving this place 1 star is that you have to for your review to post. read more

So.... Me and a couple of girlfriends visited Fort Ben Pub for the first time over the weekend. When entering, we were right off the bat entertained by the bartender Brandon. First he gave us a very nice welcoming, and told us about all the beer that was on tap "which by the way, they have this really good stuff called busted knuckle". Very well spoken for a guy that has a sleeve full of tattoos. He knew his stuff when it came to the local Indiana craft brews. Provided a thorough breakdown of the menu. I have been to plenty of neighborhood pubs in indy. This one buy far had been one of the most humbling visits to a pub in a while. Food was excellent and Brandon was excellent. For great food and a gorgeous bartender to look at, you can't really ask for more. Will be back. read more

Definitely wasn't a bad experience. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the bar was spacious. Staff friendly. Food is so/so. Ordered my Burger medium got it well. Not surprised as it is a bar. Next time I'll order something else and maybe add a star or two! read more

If I could treat myself every day, I'd do so at the Fort Ben Pub for lunch. The food is wonderful. The specials are priced right (as in, within my meager budget). The servers are warm, friendly and competent. I'm so glad I ate there again today! read more

What you would expect from pub food. It's worth a stop if you're around Fort Harrison and aren't in the mood for fast food. Friendly atmosphere. read more

One of my favorite east side watering holes. Nice beer selection, full bar and terrific eats. The fish sandwich and the pizza are my favorite items on the menu. Tell them Delbert sent you. read more

The quesadilla, and the waitstaff including Jay behind the bar, these are the things that will keep you coming back especially after a round of golf at The Fort or dinner at Jockamo. Perfect compliment to the increasingly cool Fort Ben area. read more

4 and 5 stars is tough 5 is excellent! My first time here and I've been here 10 yrs live near fort Ben. I like this place better than Peppers. I think the place could benefit from some outdoor seating and at least 2 or 3 booths. I know the joint is small! You tend to hang back and spend more money when you can relax. The waitress Holly was nice! That's always a plus and she was left a tip of over 20% because she was also familiar with the menu as well. I'd visit again and have another burger I built my own thats kinda foul proof.. well so you think.. I guess I don't understand why restaurants don't go the extra mile and have fresh mushrooms when you do a Swiss mushroom and onion burger I not thinking jar or canned you know the difference! My friend had the tenderloin we shared a taste and I'll say it was good!good flavor just a tad too salty! not too thin and it was fried nicely.. not to long! I do however think it could be a tiny bit thicker because of the bun ratio there's more bun then there is tenderloin. Tasty bun nonetheless. No fries which pairs well with your burger. Some slaw, potato salad ,bake beans something other than chips! the chips were good for homemade chips, but nothing takes the place of a burger and fries! I would definitely go again and I would order and build another burger! read more
