    Breaded Tenderloin
    Rick F.

    ***THE BEST TENDERLOIN EVER*** This is a hand breaded tenderloin, not a frozen premade thing. The breading has great flavor. You really don't need anything else on it. They have a sports bar atmosphere, but recently added family seating. I've also had the Cuban and burgers, but the tenderloin is the best thing on the menu. They also offer pizza, quesadillas and a full bar.

    Today, after my doctor's appointment, I just wanted a small appetizer to knock the edge off since I had several other errands today. Gatsby's has become one of my staples after my PCP or Rayus appointments since it's just across the street in the strip center behind Starbucks. I selected the basket of calamari, which was the perfect size to fill me up enough till early evening. It arrived very quickly, nice and hot. The calamari was lightly golden brown and not overcooked, which I appreciated. I know many people like a very crispy calamari, but I do prefer obviously cooked but lightly crispy. My server, Dee S., was terrific as always and checked on me several times. I've been coming in for many years, and she has become familiar with my habits and orders as all good servers do. The restaurant is decorated top to bottom in scary ghosts, hanging, bloody body parts, frightening Dracula's, skeletons, and well distributed spider webs, especially on the long mirror above the upper booths. There are actually dying, small tree limbs loaded with leaves and secured tightly to the ceiling, which provide a very authentic fall effect with the dried up leaves with the colorful hanging decor. Nice job, and your hard work is appreciated. Nice location to stop after work for a drink with friends. See you next time.

    Crusted Romano Chicken Sandwich with Tots

    Sometimes going for someplace new works out and sometimes it doesn't. I made reservations at a Burger Joint my husband is tired of but I love their Gorganberry Salad. So canceled that and ended up at Gatsbys. Didn't know it was trivia night. Took 15 min to get our server. Took 30 min to get drinks. Took 45 min to get appetizer. Took an hour to get sandwiches and tots. French dip could have used double the meat or half the bread. But it was good. Husband liked his chicken sandwich. Tots were good. Server was friendly. Food was decent bar food served hot. Looked like a place they have a lot of regulars. May try again on a non trivia night.

    We've been going to Gatsby's for lunch for a very long time, todays experience was different - I'm not sure if it was the oil or the cook but the food smelt burnt and the chicken was very dry. We even ordered our usual app of Fried Mushrooms but those smelled so off putting we were a bit weary but we all tried one and said "nope", luckily that was taken off the bill. It was very busy so I'm not sure if they were overwhelmed by the volume but the three of us agreed, not their best day but hey it's next to the job so we'll be back. My boss and I had the Fried Chicken Special, the chicken was so crackley and dry - I only got through the drumstick. My coworker went the safe route of a sandwich, his plate was clean!

    Good food, good prices, great service. The facilities are a bit run down, but if you avoid the hallway with the restrooms this isn't that obvious.

    Boss and I decided to stop in here for lunch on a Wednesday. Seat yourself so we were not greeted but the staff was friendly when they came to the table. We ordered a tenderloin and a wrap and both were just okay. Nothing special. Side salad was just okay with a mix of fresh and old lettuce and a few hairs (yuck). Restaurant environment is very dive bar with the restrooms and the tables being plane Jane. Restrooms were dingy and falling apart but that's what you'd expect from a dive bar so nothing too bad there. After I was done my stomach hurt a bit and overall didn't love the food. Wouldn't come back but wouldn't refuse to come back here.

    Chill vibes and great food. Sure it's a dive bar but it's a great local bar to come hang out or have date night at. The food was so good and our server was very friendly and attentive. Come here for a simple but fun night out!

    FFF Zombie Dust. Very good!

    I have been coming to Gatsby's for years, over the last 3-4 years I come by when I am in town for work as it is close to the hotel I stay at. Gatsby's is a good size space with a fair amount of seating and a semi-circular bar with 15-20 seats. There used to be pool tables, but they have been MIA the last few times I have been in. The food is hit or miss, there have been times I have been in that the food was very good, and there have been times that it was very clearly thrown together with no care for quality. The menu is typical pub fare, burgers, pizzas, wings, etc... and is fairly expansive for a place like this, maybe if they consolidated the menu a bit they could focus on quality for the remaining items. I believe there are around 15 taps, around 10-12 of which are dedicated to good craft beer at any given time. They usually have at least 1 or 2 Three Floyds offerings, and 1 or 2 Sun King offerings. This last time I got a Zombie Dust and a Wee Mac. The beers usually seem to be fresh and have never experienced off flavors from dirty tap lines. The wait staff is usually very attentive and personable, and they usually never let my glass get empty before asking what I would like for my next round. Overall, this is a pretty decent place that I will continue to visit when I travel to Indianapolis.

    I was starving for lunch today. We just arrived at the hotel the night before so wanted to get something nearby. This was literally down the road so it was perfect. We did takeout. The Crusted Romano Chicken Sandwich was sooo good it really hit the spot. Great place to stop by in the area for food!

    Sooo i found some food faves!! I definitely appreciate the Philly cheesesteak, the chili cheese fries, and my go to : the Caesar chicken wrap! With Parmesan not the feta.

    Favorite baseball team!

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

Unfortunately, the service did not quite match the food. Our server seemed to be having a rough night. He rarely smiled, moved quickly from table to table, and did not interact much with our group. It felt like he just wanted to get through his shift rather than provide a welcoming dining experience. I completely understand that everyone has off days, and I do not know what may have been going on personally or professionally. Still, hospitality can make a big difference, and our interaction left us feeling more like a task than guests. That said, the food was very good, and I would give the restaurant another chance. Hopefully, our next visit comes with the same great food and a more engaging service experience.
