    Fried chicken with Mac and Cheese & Bourbon Creamed Corn
    Christopher A.

    Wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a nice comfort food meal and we're overall pleased with our experience here. We had seen people review this place for years but had just never made it to this cute little spot on the east side! We walked in and were quickly greeted and sat. After being sat our friendly waitress came over and recommended some top picks! After some talking we decided to order the rib meal with potato salad and baked beans. Wife ordered the chicken and red velvet waffles with sides of creamed corn and Mac and cheese. Let's start with our top / best of the meal: 1.Fried Chicken was Amazing!! Amazing breading. 2. Creamed corn was the best side hands down followed with a close second of the Mac and cheese. Now the not so good: 1. The ribs. They were very chewy and gross. I didn't wanna send them back because they were still edible but wouldn't ever get them again. 2. Baked beans tasted like canned baked beans. Overall we left with a good feeling and will be back. Especially with the super friendly service! Next time we just won't get the ribs haha!

    I stopped in this place over the weekend just for the peach cobbler. You definitely taste the sugar first, then the peaches. It's more of a comfort dessert than a fresh-fruit-forward one. The peaches were slices cooked down and soft, not firm or crunchy. When it comes to good cobbler, the crust is the real star! The crust was somewhere between soft and doughy. I just wished I could have more of it as is tends to soak up the syrupy flavor. This was good but not something to eat regularly......

    Overall pleased with our visit to His Place Eatery. When we entered, we were quickly greeted and sat. The place was busy for a Saturday night. Our server, B, was on it throughout the night. She was especially good with our son by making him a balloon glove to keep him occupied. The place felt clean, and more of a hole in the wall vibe (which I don't mind) My wife and I split fried chicken dinner, and a turkey manhattan. The turkey manhattan wasn't anything to write home about. The fried chicken was crispy, and had an excellent amount of seasoning on the skin. The mashed potatoes were homemade, and didn't taste like they came out of a box. The dressing was moist, but wasn't anything I was super excited about. Overall, would return, but would skip getting the turkey manhattan.

    When I tell you.....this was an experience????? OMG! Everything me and my boyfriend ordered was amazing. I ordered the red velvet chicken and waffles and he ordered buffalo chicken salad and the smothered chicken. My sides were macaroni and cheese and greens. His sides were dressing and greens. So amazing. We don't eat pork so it was a bonus that we were able to eat the greens as they are seasoned with Smoked Turkey. The customer service was top tier. The ambience was great. The presentation of the food was something you'd see at a five star restaurant. Perfection! We highly recommend this restaurant for people who desire excellence. PS...the price point was extremely reasonable and the food portion was high !!!

    Smoked Meatloaf with collard greens, mac & cheese, and cornbread with strawberry butter

    Landed in Indianapolis, found this restaurant on Tiktok and decided to stop by before heading to Purdue for an event and I will be back. The atmosphere gave very homey vibes. The service was so good - nice, attentive and recommended some great items. First, the Uptown - which is their twist on an Arnold Palmer - 10/10. Loved it so much I had to get one to go. I then had the meat loaf with collard greens, Mac & cheese and cornbread with strawberry butter. The meat loaf was so good and I haven't had meat loaf in years. The collard greens??? If you don't get them, just cancel the whole meal because they were so so good. I was not a fan of the Mac & cheese but the cornbread was really good especially after adding the strawberry butter. I also had the banana pudding to go and it was freshly made. I would definitely be back and would surely recommend His Place Eatery!

    We just had the best lunch experience here today. We popped in about 30 minutes after they opened and were created with such lovely smiles. We were seated quickly and were offered drinks right away. My son ordered a sweet tea and it was delicious, with a hint of lemon and just the perfect balance of sweetness. We each ordered combo plates so that we could share as many sides as possible. Everything we tried was delicious. My son opted for the bourbon, corn pudding, and the server offered him a sample, saying that people either loved it or hated it. I really appreciated that she gave him the opportunity to try it before ordering. He loved it. Overall great experience.

    His Place Eatery in Indianapolis is a place that defines soul food better than any this food fanatic has ever been to. It is the epitome of comfort food. A bit of southern cooking in the Midwest. I had the collard green grilled cheese, which sounds comforting... And then somehow turns into a full on flavor-event. My wife went with the pick two and got the grilled chop and catfish. Both were savory, seasoned just right, and the catfish was clearly made by someone who knows how to cook it. My daughter, crushed the chicken and waffles (as one should), and my mother tried the churro chicken and waffles, which was nothing short of magical. Sweet, savory crunchy... Honestly, it deserves its own fan club. Now let's talk about the sides, because these were not just afterthoughts. Cinnamon sugar sweet potatoes, collard greens, bourbon, creamed corn, and green beans. Every single one was incredible. No weak links. No "just okay" in this menu. Just pure soulful excellence across the board. The cherry on top? Chef James Jones himself, came out to talk with us. He was warm, personable and genuinely kind. The kind of chef who makes you feel like you're eating in his home not just his restaurant. You can taste the care in the food and meeting him just sealed the deal. Come hungry, leave happy and immediately start planning your next visit. His Place Eatery is something special.

    Lindsey H.

    Let me just echo all the 5 star reviews! This place was delicious! I got the chicken (tenders) and waffles with sweet potatoes and cabbage and the cabbage tasted just like the kind my southern grandmother used to make. My boyfriend got the Cajun grilled fish, baked beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread. We highly recommend everything we ate and the peach butter!

    Best soul food I have had in Indianapolis since V's closed. I have been here probably 4-5 times and they consistently provide a great meal. I have tried the fried pork chops, fried catfish, and fried chicken wings. All of them are perfectly seasoned and breaded. My go-to is the fried catfish. They provide two large filets of catfish with the meal. All portions are worth the price paid. They do not skimp on the portions. The greens and cabbage are always cooked to the right tenderness and the mac & cheese is great. Everyone I introduce to this place ends up loving it. It has a diner/small business feel on the inside. There are some TVs on through the place also. The service is always spot on, starting with the warm greetings walking into the restaurant. The wait staff are attentive and will let you dine at your own speed. The restaurant is usually pretty full when I have been around lunch, so you may want to try and get there on an off-hour. However, I have only had to wait once at this location, and it was not for long. Highly recommend this place and I cannot wait to keep trying new menu items.

    Another return visit and another fabulous experience. Can't say enough about the great food and great staff here. My wife and daughter can't seem to stay away from the smokehouse grilled cheese. It's that good! I went for the southern fried chicken this trip, it did not disappoint! The green beans are off the hook! And don't pass on the peach cobbler!

    Let me tell you. Hands down to whoever the chef is. Everything was delicious. The ambiance was friendly and great music played. This food was so good I came back again in the same day. To have a review like this from me you have to be good. I'm staying here for 3 months from Atlanta and this will be my spot until I leave. This is a must try place

    Everything was soooo delicious!! The fried chicken...omg...the best! Collard greens to die for. Everything is made from scratch. I've eaten here before, but it's been awhile- already looking forward to my next visit!

    This is my complaint about the Bay Area. We don't have any legit soul food places, the one we did have closed down around the pandemic time which I am still sad about, my friends who are locals here have told me that this was the place to try the best soul food they had in the city. soul food is something that I probably have once every three to five years just because it can get heavy. But who can say no to some good fried chicken, Mac and cheese and mash potatoes. Nothing else on earth like it. The servers were very nice and warm and was pretty good at getting the food out pretty fast. Chicken was well seasoned and crispy Mac and cheese was well balanced and the mash potatoes with the gravy was creamy and had the right balance of saltiness. The other things on their menu looked so good if I ever come here again next time I want to try everything !

    When will the 86th and Ditch location be opening?

    We’re in the final stages of our build out. Hopefully, by the end of June or early July. Thanks

    Do they have instagram?

    Yes, unfortunately our Instagram /Facebook accounts were hacked and we’re working on getting the accounts recovered.

    Are the ribs pork or beef?

    The ribs are pork. Thanks

    Has anyone had this catered? Thinking of having this place cater a wedding but wanted input!

    If people are saying this place has better chicken than Maxine's, I have to try it!!! Do you think their chicken is better than Maxine's & how are the ribs?

    Amy, we are flattered by the thought of having the best chicken in Indy, I must say that Maxine's chicken is wonderful. We think it's great that there are multiple local restaurants in town that serve really good chicken... No good, better or best… Read more

    This was me and my family's first time eating at His Place's newest location on the Northwest side…read more After experiencing this particular His Place, I must say that this is the best one and one of my top 5 places to go eat In Indianapolis. From the service to the atmosphere to the amazing food/ drink, 10/10!! 1. Atmosphere- The atmosphere was very modern, new, clean, welcoming, and home-y. I loved it! What I loved most was the stark difference of space between this location and their Eastside location. There was so much more space to be seated, order, and move around. I didn't feel too crowded or removed from the rest of the restaurant. 2. Service- The service was A1! Our waitress, Brandy, was phenomenal. She was timely, inviting, and nice. The other restaurant workers were also very nice and welcoming. 3. FOOD- The food?? Bussin! OMG. They outdid themselves during this last visit! I have been plotting my next visit ever since we left lol! So my son got the chicken wing dinner with fries. I got a the chicken wing and fried catfish combo dinner with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. My girlfriend got the fried catfish dinner with sweet potatoes and baked beans. We also got a side of macaroni and cheese and greens for good measure. We all also chose to receive a cornbread muffin with our meals. Yall... I'm not exaggerating I literally loved all of the food. The chicken wings reminded me of the homemade fried ones that I used to love so much when I was younger. My son tore his wings up, and he's a picky eater . So that says a lot. The fries were surprisingly so delish. Perfectly cooked. My FAVORITE side was the sweet potatoes!! I'm not even a big sweet potato girl but they were too good! I can't wait to slide my fork back through those smh ‍. This fish is and will always be a hit with me, and I'll always recommend it. I didn't get a picture, but they make an Uptown (sweet tea/ lemonade mix) that is soooo FIRE ! That is a must have from here forth. Lastly, for dessert we had their sweet potato cheesecake. Also, delicious! His Place easily earned all 5 of their stars.

    TL;DR: This place is fantastic. You need to eat here…read more My office has catered from His Place before, so I decided to dine in with another couple. I ordered the smoked meatloaf with creamed corn and stuffing, and I have to say, it outshined the meatloaf I make on my charcoal grill at home. The smoked flavor and taste of the meat was incredible, the stuffing was fantastic, and the creamed corn was perfectly done. Everyone at our table loved their meals. We were so impressed that we've been back three weeks in a row. Honestly, we haven't found a single thing we don't like on the menu. His Place is a must-visit. This will become a Indy staple, if it isn't already.

    My husband and I ate here for the first time today and we are SO UPSET! Not at the restaurant, meal…read moreor service but at ourselves for waiting so lonnnnggggg to try this delicious gem! We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

    I've had Juniper on Main saved in my collections for a while and this past weekend (Memorial…read moreDay/Race weekend) we decided to give them a try while attempting to avoid the crowds that were sure to be present in others parts of the city. This place is small...much smaller than I had imagined. In my opinion, there isn't really a good seat in the house, literally, because the restaurant is a converted home in a residential setting. Each and every table is either by the front door, near the kitchen, or restroom-adjacent. It also seemed like they were having some plumbing issues or something, because one area was blocked off making the seating situation even more limited. It was nice out, so we probably should've dined on the patio. Our server never introduced himself by name, so I didn't learn that tidbit of info until we got the bill. We ordered the deviled eggs flight, which he told us that he couldn't tell us about because "it's different every time". He did check for any allergens, which was thoughtful. The deviled eggs themselves were very much a blank canvas and the toppings were the entire show. Server asked if we wanted to play egg roulette or if we wanted him to tell us what they were. We wanted to know, so he pointed to each...extremely close, and I was so distracted by his finger hovering so dangerously close to my food that all I heard was "chimichuri". I have no clue what the others were. Oh, I think one was chili crisp! I also had the crab cake and loved the aioli that it was served with. My husband had the BLT, which comes with an egg on it and is served on Texas Toast. He's not a fan of Texas Toast, but he enjoyed the sandwich. If I were rating this on food alone, it would be 4 stars, but the cramped atmosphere and level of service brings it down to a 3 for me.
