By the time I arrived at the front door of Fountain Square's Kuma's Corner, the burger joint/beergarden had already lost one star mostly due to the inconvenience of an accessible parking spot that requires you to wheel around the building in order to enter it since the spot is located right next to their outdoor dining area that is closed off, obviously, during the colder months. By the time I left Kuma's Corner, the fourth location of what could be considered a Chicago-based mini-chain that includes three Illinois locations and this one, I'd humbly bowed my head in shame and given the star back. To their credit, they DO offer one accessible parking spot in a side lot off Morris Street that is not the preferred parking location since most park right in front of the restaurant on Prospect Street a couple doors down from Radio! Radio! and across the street from Tufty Clough's Revolucion. While it is a tad inconvenient to have to wheel around the building on the sidewalk, it's more than worth the effort for a restaurant that is, quite simply, top notch in every other way. Kuma's Corner is a heavy-metal themed restaurant with a decor that is comfortably gaudy with lots of reds, blacks and woods. There's a digital brew menu with a strong focus on local and homegrown and an intentional avoidance of corporate, national brews. They also offer small label whiskeys. The burgers are pretty much all named after heavy metal bands across the spectrum of metal including familiars such as Mastodon, White Zombie, Scorpions, Anthrax and others plus a slew of metal bands completely outside my frame of reference. These are NOT corporate burgers - these are dastardly behemoths of burger paradise created with imagination and a complete absence of normalcy. Most of the burgers are in the $13-15 range including a side (fries, house chips and NOT waffle fries. I'm sure there's a story about the waffle fries, but I sure wasn't asking!). They serve up iced tea, unsweet and sweet, brewed in-house and, in a real shocker, actually are a bit old school in serving up an actual glass of water with the meal and refilling it as needed. They have $10 lunch specials with the burgers being smaller than the usual dinner fare. They have photos of most of their burgers on their website. I ordered a Mastodon, a delightful weaving together of 10 oz. of burger served as ordered along with bacon, sharp cheddar, barbecue sauce, and frizzled onion on a pretty wonderful bun. The fries, modestly browned and an absolute delight, complement the burger perfectly and are served in the perfect serving size.I ordered medium-well and it was delivered to perfection. I did have to laugh a little bit as Mastodon was misspelled on the actual receipt - "mastadon." I'm guessing a Barry Manilow fan programmed the receipts. I was seated at a larger table, a nice courtesy I didn't quite expect despite my wheelchair being obviously bigger than their smaller tables. I arrived mid-afternoon and they had a steady flow of customers throughout my time there. There's a bar area to the left as you enter the restaurant with a more traditional restaurant/dining area on the right with a mixture of two-tops and more extended tables. They have a pretty decent waiting area and an old pew where folks can sit along with a pinball machine up front. If you know me, you know I have a fondness for tattoos and pretty much every server in the building had them including Kayla, my tattooed and pierced server who was, quite simply, absolutely perfect. She was friendly, attentive, accommodating of the wheelchair and on top of water and iced tea. She caught on that I was a newbie and explained the menu, allowed me to linger a bit after my meal (and kept offering both iced tea and water), didn't bring the check at the first sign my burger was gone, and was just super friendly. I wrestled a little bit between 4-5 stars, but in the end I couldn't deny that this was absolutely a destination burger and service I'd be willing to drive out of my way to experience. Kuma's Corner is also charitable, a big deal to me, and has a charity of the month (This month - Teacher's Treasures). The burger was a "slow" burger - by that, I mean it's the kind of burger you eat slowly and truly enjoy rather than one you simply eat. Sometimes, the culinary gods come together to provide the perfect experience - that's Kuma's Corner, a wonderful weaving together of comfortable atmosphere, fantastic food and impeccable service into an overall experience that weaves together everything you love about metal and everything you want in a mighty fine meal. read more

Love the vibes in this place! We are visiting and arrived in town late and were looking for a some food and drinks, this place delivered and exceeded our expectations. The burgers are huge and delicious, the drinks selection was great. We loved all the decor and the staff was so friendly. Would definitely go back again. read more

So there was once a time I was quite the metal head. Now I'm rocking more of a suburban dad vibe. For those of you who don't know this is a heavy metal themed burger bar that came from Chicago. A location recently opened up in the Fountain square neighborhood. I had plans on getting decked out in my black sabbath tee shirt and messed up jeans,but we we're coming back from the theater when we stopped in and I was rocking my dad khakis and a button down. The atmosphere is like high end modern bordello meets heavy metal concert. There are tables set up around the restaurant and a large bar dominating the front. The walls are deep red with framed metal posters all over. My wife and I got there and were seated at a table for two as soon as we came in. The beer list is pretty good. They have an awesome video board at the bar to keep the listings current. They had some great local and regional craft beer options. I got a TIPA from Schlafly. We ordered jalapeño poppers and burgers. The poppers were outstanding. They were battered and fried stuffed with cream cheese and chorizo. The batter crisped up perfectly and stuck to the jalapeño. I hate it when batter falls off in the sauce while you're eating them. Everything was perfectly spicy with a nice rich creaminess. The poppers came with a raspberry coulis sauce that was so good. It the sweetness paired perfectly with the heat from the pepper. Kuma started off very strong. Then the burgers came out. I got the plague bringer, which had jalapeño slices, tortilla strips, pepper jack cheese and garlic mayo. The burger was a perfect medium rare like I ordered. The garlic mayo was excellent. You could tell they used roasted garlic cloves to give it that big garlic flavor. It paired nicely with the heat from the cheese and the jalapeños. The tortilla strips surprised me. They added a great crispy crunch to the burger when everything else was soft and rich. My wife got the Yob. It's a word, not an acronym like Y.O.B. She was very happy with it. My only complaint about this place was that there is no bench seating because after that meal I needed to lay down and take a nap. read more

I'd go 2.5 stars if I could. Somewhere between okay and I doubt I'll go back. First of all, this isn't Chicago, San Fran or NYC. I'd expect a $15 burger in one of those cities, but Fountain Square? For $15, you better blow my mind like it's never been blown before. $15 should buy me one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. You see where this is going... Service was good. We went for lunch on a Monday. They weren't very busy. Beer selection is solid and patio dining was nice. We ordered the Pallbearer (special) and the ABSU. Both came with fries. We ordered Medium and for the most part they were medium. They were juicy and flavorful. We noticed right away that the Pallbearer should have had a white gravy on it, per the description. We asked about it and were told that it did come with gravy. She then asked "but was it good?" Um, not really the point. Your burger is missing a key ingredient. She offered nothing more than "are you ready for your checks?". Nothing. Not even an apology. Both of our fries were luke warm at best. Not crispy. Flat and boring. I did not eat mine. The burger was good. It was not great. It was not up to par with BruBurger or Burgerhaus. We checked, neither place charges $15 for a burger. 2 burgers (1 with a missing ingredient), fries, one beer and one iced tea + tip = $48 and change. I can have a good burger any number of places for a lot less. There will be no return trip. read more

Led Zeppelin burger is the way to go! Best burger I've ever had, hands down. Make sure to go hungry. I only finished about 1/4th of it because its massive! Drinks are definitely amazing there also. Employees are all on top of it. Can't wait to go back. Think they should make slider versions of their burgers. It would be great for people to come in and try! Can't wait to go back & try something new! read more

Two words, over rated. I guess being rude is their Shtick. Bad service is not cute. Burgers are just okay. Go to the Tail Gate or Working Mans Friend if you want a good burger. read more

If you want a burger to make your knees buckle and your senses tingle, Kuma's is the place you go. If you have dreamed of an enormous bowl of Mac and Cheese made with a delectable white cheese blend, perfectly done noodles, and your choice of toppings, but have never fulfilled your longing, Kuma's is the place you go. If you are longly staring at your Netflix account, not wanting to leave your binge streak, relax. Kuma's, yet again, is the place you go. Netflix is on and poppin' in here, and legend has it, if you talk to the right people and your taste in show/movie isn't trash, they may change it for you. Allegedly. The ambiance is not for everyone. If you were looking for a quiet dinner, you may want to consider takeout. They loudly play metal/rock in here. I cannot lie, I didn't know what to expect from the food here, but I was extremely impressed. Everything is very well done and the burgers are perfect. Also, the mac... I could write sonnets about the mac. The mac heals all wounds. So melty and tasty and the noodles are not mushy in the slightest, something I HATE when I get mac. The open kitchen concept is also very cool, you get a really cool view of everything going down behind the scenes. All in all, love the service, love the food, love the damn mac. read more

UPDATE: Since my last review, an incredibly kind member of the Kuma's Corner team reached out and clued me in that a new house veggie patty was rolled out, and that I absolutely had to try it. I did, and she wasn't kidding -- it was very good. It's a black bean patty with just about every vegetable in the house thrown in, and although it still isn't my favorite veggie burger in the city, it's a massive improvement over the Morningstar. Definitely worth a try! Also -- someone must have told the house to turn the music down a bit. It was way easier to have a conversation this time than I remember last time, and I was there at the same time of night. Thanks for being thoughtful, Kuma's! Bumping from 3 to 4. read more

Note that I'm reviewing this a vegetarian, so really can't speak to the full experience of most their food. I really like their veggie burger and their fries, and their Mac and cheese is absolutely ABSURD. I do wish more of their burgers were veggie friendly, but that's not really a huge deal. Great beer selection always, and friendly staff. I'm my favorite way to eat here is during warm weather out on the patio, as the inside is always a bit overwhelming. But that's the point, that's the vibe. read more

This is my first review ever. I usually find that I more or less agree with people's reviews. This time however I feel like I need to leave a comment. We'll start positive: it's a clean place. The wait staff seems friendly, if not 100% attentive. The beer selection and display is good - it's a great place to get a beer in Fountain Square. The burgers are good, not stellar however. There are several places in the city I would go first for a good burger. Negatives: it took so long to get our burger! The waitress didn't even seem concerned that it took nearly an hour to get our food and the burger wasn't even hot, warm at best and she and never stopped to check on us until after it finally came out and then didn't check to see if we needed anything after. I guess what I'm saying is: friendly service but no follow up, ok burgers not great fries and loud music. Won't go back. read more

I am pretty picky about my burger places, but I can say that Kuma's has met my high standards. Where to start? Laid back ambiance, check! Great beer selection, check! Tasty burgers with unique ones available, check! Awesome servers, check! First, the beer selection. There were quite a few beers available on tap with a wide variety. I am always happy when there is more than just your normal IPAs available (sorry IPA fans). You get a gold star in my book when you have at least one or more sours on tap, which they did! Woo hoo! Since we were already going to be gluttonous, we ordered the dill chips for an app. They were a little different in that they were breaded in panko rather than batter. Different twist, but I liked it. Next came the main event... the burger. I would highly recommend splitting one with someone. They are out of control, huge! I seriously think they want to see how much they can fit between two buns! If you are a spicy food fan, you won't be disappointed by the selection. I was pretty boring and just ordered the Kaijo. Great burger. If you aren't looking for one of the extremely huge burgers on the menu this is a good choice, but you still won't be able to finish it. I look forward to my next trip to Kuma's to enjoy more tasty burgers and beers. read more

We've been looking for a good burger joint since we moved back to the Midwest. Kuma's hit the mark. Good burger (and not a smash burger - important since so many places are going exclusively smash these days), good beer, and great service. Will definitely return. read more

This place gets and A because of the care and concern they take with their burgers. Another tip. If Amy makes a suggestion take it, she has good taste! A few of us ordered the burger of the month (Mutoid Man). Unfortunately they switched up my order with one of my friends. I ordered rare and he ordered medium. No big deal right? Wrong, unfortunately he's allergic to onions. Turned out great for him as he found he really enjoyed it being cooked rare. They offered to cook me a second burger but I declined and certainly appreciated the gesture. Turns out they didn't listen to me and decided to cook another burger for me. Unfortunately it looked just like the first one. This caused quite the stir and the manager was getting upset, and I was feeling sorry for the cook. After showing it around and bringing it inside they ended up deciding that it was cooked properly and it was the outside sunlight that made it look more done than it was. I didn't quite agree because neither was as red and juicy as the original one that my friend accidentally got, but hey they are the pros. So the take home for me if I want my definition of rare a Kuma's ask for bloody and mooing. Super big kudos to the staff for bending over backwards and doing a fantastic job. Kuma's will be a staple in our downtown lunch rotation! read more

Kuma's Corner is open on Monday nights when next to nothing else in Fountain Square is, which is why I ended up there for dinner before meeting up with some friends for a drink. I've never been to the flagship restaurant in Chicago, but this one is...ok. A lot of people have noted that their food took a long time, and those reviews are definitely true. The restaurant was not busy when I went, and my food took 25 or so minutes to come out. If you're going to eat here, be prepared to wait. While you're waiting, take advantage of the beer list. It's long and pretty reasonably priced. When my food did come out, it was, as other reviewers have said, pretty good. I got the Absu burger with a veggie patty and it had a good kick to it from the peppers. The bun was super dense and there was way too much bun:burger, but that can be fixed by ripping off part of the bun. The fries were unremarkable, if a little bit stale. Here's the thing about this place: it was fine, no major huge complaints. However, like so many other Indy restaurants, it is way too expensive for what it is. $15 for a burger and fries is silly. This isn't a gourmet burger joint. Maybe if the food were phenomenal, but it's just ok. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but between the wait and the price Kuma's Corner probably won't be my first choice of burgers in Indianapolis. read more

Some girls like a nice glass of wine and a petite filet. I am not one of those girls. A big juicy burger and home cut fries is the way to my heart. Pair it with a great list of beers on tap and some rock music playing in the background, and consider me swept off my feet and halfway to heaven. I had their BOTM: Burger of the month: The Mutoid Man. And it is just as impressive and colossal as it's name suggests. The patty is cooked to order and Jalapeno/Habanero Mayo, Pepperjack Cheese, New Day Meadery Braised Pulled Beef, Pepperjack Cheese Sauce, Housemade Tempura Fried Garlic and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese Bite, Frizzled Green Onion, and Sriracha hot sauce drizzle top this beast (and breathe-yeah that's a lotta stuff). All of that is sandwiched between their signature pretzel bun. This is the first burger I have ever approached and been intimidated by as it sat 6 inches in stature when I placed the bun on top. But, I was not disappointed. It was damn good. As was the fresh hand cut fries. I didn't really see anything special about the he made ketchup- and didn't recognize it was homemade until our waitress informed me it was. Their draft list had plenty of great beers to choose from, too. read more

easily the best burgers and beers in Indiana. Tons of awesome options on tap and in bottles and the servers were all very knowledgeable about the different brews.

The burgers are tasty and huge but slightly pricey. Starting at $14 and going up. There aren't a lot of appetizer options. The theme is metal music as is the music played so if you going for a quite outing this is not the place for you. The Mac and cheese is delicious and comes with several topping options. And the drinks are reasonably priced. Its a decent place to try but not my go to. read more

Yowza. Kuma's rocks. No really they do. Like headbanging rocks. Stopped by today around 1 to grab a bite to eat. Right on the corner of Prospect st off the square Kuma has a great indoor vibe and nice patio addition. As far as the music goes, well I cut my teeth to Lemmy, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath, and you people think that is loud? Sorry it's really not much more than slightly higher background noise. Or maybe I'm going deaf. Wife got the YOB I opted for the plague burger, for $3 more you get a side salad, wife upgraded to the bison ($4) 2 teas to drink, plague was the spiciest burger they had, it was picante' but not outrageous. Burgers are huge, fries were crunchy, cooked just right. I asked for mine medium, and it was exactly how it should be, most of the time medium is just shy of done, so for those of you expecting that, understand what your getting Would like to hit this up again and try a few different beers they have on tap, had gym to hit up later so that was a no go. Mac n Cheese looked killer, but alas I ate more carbs today than I will all week. Kuma's gets my big 5 star rating, bang your head! read more

I live super close by and I've had the pleasure of eating here a few times now. Every experience has been phenomenal! All of the servers are awesome and friendly and the food is amazing. I've had three of the burgers: Sourvein, Mastodon and Iron Maiden and all three were delicious! Highly recommend! read more

If you are not a fan of metal music, sitting there for 40 minutes waiting on your burger and having to listen to the loud noise is pretty much a torture. I couldn't eat fast enough, get out and never come back. And given that the waitress had not one but whole two excuses when we enquired why it's taking so long - they are too busy (not really) and the burgers are big (pretty sure in 40 minutes you can cook a whole cow) - don't think the wait time will be improving. Sorry, no burger is worth that. read more

Food at Kuma's was great but EXTREMELY OVERPRICED!!!! Already $16 for a hamburger but the kicker is $1 apeice for mustard, mayo, 1 dinky piece of lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. So I paid $7 extra to have what every other restaurant in the world provides for free!!!What a ripoff!! They don't tell you it costs extra when you order and don't give you a receipt unless you ask for it. read more

Holy crap those burgers are massive!!! This is an asian speaking tho so I got the Iron Maiden and I had to take half of it and most of the fries home . But oh my, they are yumz!! I like my burgers burnt (don't judge) and it was perfect! Fries are crispy, lightly salted with sea salt, and perfectly browned. And those jalapeño poppers are just a wonderful combination of sauces, crispiness, and filling must ask what that dipping sauce is. All in all, awesome place! Hubster's step dad didn't want to leave haha read more

I've had Kuma's Corner bookmarked since they opened in Indy over a year ago and finally decided to make the out-of-the-way drive to Fountain Square to give it a try during Indy Burger Week. I visited on a Tuesday evening at 9pm and the restaurant was mostly empty, as you would expect late on a weeknight. I ordered the Kaijo burger which includes bleu cheese crumbles, bacon, and onion straws on a pretzel bun. It also came with a side - I chose fries. I wanted to try the Mac & Cheese, but it starts at $14 and I was eating solo so it didn't really make sense to order just for myself. It took less than 10 minutes to prepare my meal, and although they initially forgot my fries, the bartender noticed and went back to the kitchen for them. I liked the atmosphere, which has a metal rock theme. The burgers have names like Metallica and Led Zeppelin, and theirs is the type of music you'll hear blaring through Kuma's speakers. Patrons at this location also have the option for outdoor seating. As for the food, I was disappointed, which is why I only gave Kuma's 3 stars. I was surprised after all the wonderful reviews I'd read. The hamburger patty was sizable, but had the perfect shape of a hockey puck suggesting it was packed up in a machine somewhere and frozen. There's nothing inherently wrong with using frozen patties, but there are no toppings you can put on a previously frozen burger that make it better than fresh beef. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I checked their website, and there was nothing about fresh beef anywhere that I saw. Most places highlight that sort of thing. At a price of $13, I expected fresh beef. Or maybe it was fresh and only tasted like a frozen burger because it was burnt to a crisp. I asked for the burger medium-well, which means there should have been some pink in the center, but it was beyond well-done. The bleu cheese crumbles aren't gooey like other cheeses, so it did no favors for my dry hockey puck burger. In my opinion, this particular burger could use a bleu cheese sauce or something to balance out the dry textures of the bacon, onion straws, and crumbles. Leaving some of the juices in the burger would also help. If I were to find myself here again, I'd try ordering something different from the menu - maybe just the Mac & Cheese since I've heard great things about that specifically, but I don't see myself driving that far out of the way again on purpose for it. read more

I had high hopes for this place since I've heard good things but it definitely disappointing. Please don't waste your money!

The food here is pretty darn good- we honestly had a great meal. However...... Plan to be here a loooong time. We didn't get our drinks for about 10 min despite them sitting on the bar. The food came in a timely manner except that they forgot the appetizer. A waitress who wasn't our waitress checked on it for us- we eventually got it once we were done with half our burgers. Lastly they took another 10 min to run our cards and then brought us the wrong bill :( So great food, however the service definitely leaves something to be desired. (Ps when we arrived the place was pretty empty- maybe 3 tables and the service was still that slow- which is a shame because the food was genuinely good) read more

I'll be honest, it didn't live up to the hype. The burger was decent, but then again, I'm not big on pretzel bun. The burger was cooked just as I ordered - medium. I had fries for my side. I didn't care for them. They're overly fried for my taste. What I enjoyed most was the staff. Some of the best service I've had in a long time. I would definitely consider going back to try other menu items as I'm sure I would find something perfect for my taste buds. read more

Kuma's Corner - Kuma Burger Lunch Special $10 - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Burgers, beer, and mac n cheese are my life source. Needless to say, I was super excited for this place to open just down the street from me. I went to Kuma's soft opening but somehow forgot to write my review until now. Similar to other reviews, I thought that the food was amazing but took a long time. I was impressed with the beer selection and ordered my favorite beer from FS brewery. Our server was attentive and enthusiastic, and you could tell she really did love the food. We ordered fried pickles and the BBQ pulled pork fries to start. The fries were phenomenal, and I even liked the fried pickles (and I do NOT like pickles). For dinner, a friend and I split the yob burger and an order of the build your own mac n cheese (adding bacon, corn, and red pepper). The mac n cheese was amazing. It was probably my favorite part of the meal. I also really enjoyed the burger but it was so big (even with splitting it) that I couldn't eat most of it. I really enjoyed this place, and I hope that service improves over time so I can update this review to five stars at some point in the future :) read more

We came at 6pm on a Saturday and there were a couple of tables left but there were 3 of us so we decided to sit at the bar where we could watch the kitchen. It made the meal more enjoyable and increased our respect for the hard-working, well-organized cooks. Service was great - friendly and attentive. Big beer list and some cocktails, too. I love that you could choose your burger - beef, bison, chicken or veggie burger (which is handmade, just as big as the meat options and even grilled on its own cooktop). There were so many options but I went with the Iron Maiden, which was awesome. I got bison and had it cooked medium so it was cooked through but not dry. Not greasy at all. Sturdy but still-soft-enough pretzel buns were perfect. Ketchup a little spicy and a nice accompaniment to the hand cut fries. Their homemade chips also looked good. Maybe I'll get them next time I'm in because there are many other burgers I can't wait to try! Interior was nice, spacious, cool band pics on the wall and of course the soundtrack couldn't be beat :) read more

Like many others, I'd been anxiously awaiting the imminent opening of Kuma's Corner in Fountain Square for months. As a former resident of Chicago, I knew Indy was about to get something really special. The day finally came when a friend of mine and I decided to stop in mid-afternoon on a Sunday, hopefully bypassing the lunch and dinner rush. We arrived around 3:00 and found a fairly large crowd for the time of day but were seated promptly. The colors of the room are warm; bright red fades into a sunny yellow and the walls are adorned with posters and photos of the bands the burgers are named after. The room is softly lit by large, industrial light fixtures, and the bar boasts a digital menu for easy navigating of the beer list. I soon caught myself happily bouncing my head to the tune of Dio. I always was a sucker for 80s metal. At first glance, I have to admit that I was disappointed that the prices reflect the flagship Chicago cost. No consideration to adjust for the Indy market? Okay, alright. I can live with a $14 burger every now and again. After browsing over the menu, I decided on getting the Neurosis Burger (no bun, no fries, sub extra mushrooms - yes I'm THAT girl), and my friend ordered the YOB Burger. I can't decide whether I really like the open kitchen at Kuma's or really hate it. I had perfect view the of area and had nothing much else to stare at except each juicy burger and bowl of mac & cheese that hit the counter. I pride myself on the fact that I didn't start drooling uncontrollably. After what seemed like an hour (but was actually only about 15 minutes), the owner personally brings our food to our table. I also want to make note of the fact that he delivered food and watched over the counter the entirety of our visit; I applaud his quality control! My second disappointment came when I saw that the "extra mushrooms" I had ordered in place of fries actually meant, "We are going to stuff five sauteed mushrooms in the same size cup your ketchup comes in". This was met with sadness because of the forthcoming upcharge I knew I would see on my bill... ...But whatever. Onto the burger! So each burger at Kuma's is 10 oz. That's a hefty patty. But when you're opting to skip out on all the accompanying carbs, it's a pretty reasonable meal. The Neurosis Burger is topped with two types of cheese, sauteed mushrooms, carmelized onions and horseradish mayo (not garlic, as a previous poster noted). I am immediately happy to see that my burger was cooked to my liking - rare! The mushrooms were great, the onions were great, and I was actually pretty surprised that I could taste how sharp the cheddar was under all the other melty cheese and veg. I asked my friend how her burger was, to which she replied "SO GOOD!" while stuffing her face. She did, after a few minutes, admit that her burger bun was a little too dense and was almost unnecessary. (And for those wondering, the aforementioned YOB includes roasted garlic mayo, bacon, smoked gouda, roasted red pepper, lettuce, tomato, and onion.) Our service all around was fairly prompt, and the waitress kept our glasses full without reminder, which is always a bonus in my book. I will say, however, that the longest wait we had was while we were waiting to get our checks, which we both thought was sort of odd for as quick as everything else had managed to come out. All in all, while I don't think Kuma's will be a local haunt for me (financially speaking), it's definitely in my book to bring someone new who is looking for somewhere interesting, different and delicious to eat. And next time, I'll just skip the sub, stick to fries and let my friends eat them for me. read more

One of the best burgers in Indy. Heavy metal themed restaurant, so if that isn't your thing, you might want to look elsewhere as the music is loud. You can always sit outside when the weather is nice to avoid. Service is good, but food takes longer than usual since it's all made to order. Worth the wait, just don't go if you're looking for a quick meal, especially in groups during primetime. read more

Love love love Kuma's Corner but COME HUNGRY. I mean VERY hungry. The burgers are excellent and large. They also give you a very generous portion of handcut fries. My favorite way to do this place is to try to convince the person joining me for dinner to get one of two menu items I want to try and have them split it with me next time I will definitely be trying The Slayer! read more

Normally I'm a really big fan of Kuma's with their heavy metal atmosphere and awesome staff. They definitely set a mood that is like none other and definitely something that was meant to be in Fountain Square. I came here with my parents who are from Fort Wayne to take them to a place they might like (they are into the rock and roll theme) This past time I went here with my parents I found I was slightly dissatisfied with my favorite thing about Kuma's; the fried pickles. They came out slightly more greasy than what I remember from my prior experience. Normally, their fried pickles are light, crispy, and the best in town. I will definitely be returning tot his location, however, I wish that the pickles could have been like I remember. Take Away: Great place if you're looking for a chill atmosphere with a big burger and a cool staff read more

If you're in the mood for a delicious, hearty, meaty meal, Kuma's Corner absolutely delivers. The burger was thick, juicy, and flavorful. The fries were so-so, but I can live with that. My boyfriend had their Make Your Own Mac & Cheese and I found myself sneaking way more than a couple bites. I'd go back just to order that! The beer list is extensive, and the bartenders were super friendly and quick. Yes, it's a little on the pricier end, but the portions are huge. We ended up having enough for lunch the next day. read more

I've been here three times so far and have yet to sit inside. The outdoor seating is always just so inviting and a bit quieter, save for the sound of traffic going by. I'm way impressed with the beer list they offer. Lots of choices on a local and regional level. I'll be honest, as a vegetarian, a burger spot with jarringly loud heavy metal music isn't going to be my first choice of places to go, but the service is good, the beer is cold, and I do love outdoor seating. read more

Love the menu! I don't know if I would visit in the winter since this would mean sitting inside with the metal music. We went on a Friday with a large party. It was nice to be able to sit outside all together. The menu is creative and the food is yummy. I ended up spending north of $40.00 for one person for jalapeno poppers and a bison burger with an egg on top. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but that being said, I will be back! read more

I would say that burgers are one of my favorite things to consume. I have had many different burgers in my day and want to proclaim that Kuma's has the best burgers I have ever had. When it comes to burgers I tend to get a similar burger wherever I go. I love bbq and some type of fried onion. This place took what I love most on a burger and added even more delicious toppings. Even with that, I have tried other burgers and everything is wonderful. Not only is the food and drink selection well done but the service is top notch. About a month ago, my family came from out of town to visit. They, like me, love a good burger. We had prior plans and I read the website wrong and got there 5 minutes before the kitchen was closing (I hate to be that person). Not only did they serve us even though we offered to not stay, they were so pleasant and understanding. They treated us with the utmost attention and got our burgers out to us in record time still cooked and prepared wonderfully. It made me very happy that I got to share this experience with my family. I live in Fountain Square and this is a great addition to our neighborhood. read more

Kuma burger and fries were amazing!! The scene was welcoming and comfortable. Huge beer and cider menu.

I've been about a half dozen times or so now. I always sit at the bar. Service is great. The pickle chips are what I crave. They're breaded in panko with a zesty dipping sauce. The burgers are gigantic. Be prepared. I split it with a friend and it's plenty of food. Try the potato chips. They're made in house. The salads are huge and delicious too. They have new lunch portion smaller burgers now that I can actually finish by myself. They're known for playing metal music. The music is quieter at lunch. Dinner however....If you don't like loud metal music get carry out. read more
