    Stopped on a Sunday afternoon and experienced one of the best Southern/soul restaurants I've eaten at. The smoked meatloaf was delicious- very unique! The bourbon creamed corn was also yummy. In fact everything we tried was house made and very good. The service was efficient and friendly. The ambiance is casual.

    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......

    Placed a takeout order online on a Saturday afternoon and was given an approximate time for pickup. The three meals were ready earlier than anticipated. I got the fried catfish, greens, and candied sweet potatoes. Everything was good. My only dislike was the abundance of stems in the collards green. The food was seasoned well and the portions were hearty. I also tried the smothered pork chops. Very tender and perfect. This is my go to spot when I want some soul food.

    This is by far my favorite place to eat in the Indianapolis area. They have two locations, one in the east side which is the original and one on the north side near 86th and Ditch rd. Both locations have the same great food but the northside location is newer and more modern. I usually always get the same thing. 4 chicken wings with mashed potatoes, cabbage and macaroni and cheese. The wings are phenomenal as is the macaroni and cheese. I have eaten nothing here that I didn't love. I usually get the Carrot cake but they were out so I got the peach cobbler. This is delicious but super rich and sweet, and you get a lot. I probably ate about 4-5 bites and I was done. This restaurant is as close as it gets to the food I grew up on in Florida and Alabama. Take your family and friends they won't be disappointed.

    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.

    We were greeted and seated right away when we came in. We came at the last hour before closing and they were still able to get our food out relatively quickly and we had great service. The place has a diner feel with a good amount of seating without feeling too crammed. The place was popping which is a good sign that people enjoy the food here. We ordered the collard green sandwich with mashed potatoes and candied yams as well as the poboy sandwich with fries and corn bread. The portions are generous with plenty to take home for another meal. The food is so flavorful and delicious. We left full and happy!

    The smoked meatloaf was good but the sauce was really good. They were out of ribs and brisket so we will have to come back. The bourbon corn was different than any corn I ever ate. It was very good as was the Mac and cheese. Tracy was an excellent waitress, everyone in the place was super friendly. The red velvet waffle was delish!

    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.

    Absolutely amazing. From the outside you'd never know it was have the most delicious food in the city. Everything we tried cleared expectations by a mile. Staff is super friendly, enough seating but they don't take large parties. I'll be back!

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

    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!

    WOW! From the moment we walked in, we were hooked! Tina greeted us like we were long friends, making us feel as comfortable as we would in a friend's home. The smell of smoked turkey and fried chicken lingered in the air; I could have almost floated on the smell to our seats! Not only was the service excellent, but the food... THE FOOD... they call it comfort food for a reason. It was savory, filling, and warm in ways beyond temperature. It felt cooked with love by granny! I didn't get a chance to photograph the smoked BBQ meatloaf, so please consider that alongside the other items pictured. It was nothing short of exceptional!! In my opinion, the cornbread dressing is a must! While I couldn't enjoy the Mac and cheese, my family reports it is a great balance of cheese, while not getting dry. We didn't have room for dessert, but the peach cobbler (complete with a healthy scoop of ice cream) looked decadent YOU MUST VISIT! And that's an order!

    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.

    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…

When my BF casually mentioned his frat brother owned this place, you know I immediately had to do a deep dive on Yelp. The food pics and reviews totally passed the vibe check, so in we went. We were greeted by Ann (I hope I'm spelling that right!), who hails from Eastern Washington and gave us the absolute warmest welcome to the restaurant. I already had my heart set on the perch after seeing the photos. I hadn't tasted real perch since I was a kid back home. So the second our server, Kim, stopped by, I was ready to pounce on that perch basket. Now, if you happen to follow my reviews, you already know I am a card-carrying French fry fanatic. Let me tell you, I was beyond pleasantly surprised by how good the fries were! And the perch? Absolutely knock-your-socks-off fantastic. It tasted just like home--tender, piping hot, seasoned to the absolute gods, and incredibly fresh. Indianapolis keeps surprising me at every single turn, especially when it comes to soul food.

This was honestly the thing I was the most excited about. I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of my vegetables. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. The perfect amount of sweetness. The corn wasn't my favorite. I think it just had too much going on. Lots of competing flavors. The mac and cheese was decent. The star of the show was that peach butter. It was so nicely whipped with real pieces of peach. Absolutely delicious! I ordered more cornbread because I had some butter left over. I want to come back when it's not 90 degrees out so I can enjoy a more hearty meal.

It was so unpleasant I wouldn't eat inside again. - Service average to fine. - Thai salad - fair - the chicken was super dry. - Shrimp salad - good - Hummingbird cake - delicious It will be a long time before I return and my group felt the same way. My recommendation is to only eat outside and anticipate some great food and some midling.
