    My husband wanted a good burger but because I'm vegan, it needed to be a place with an option for me. After researching, I found Kuma's Corner. They have a vegan option. Convenient location. Zero proof drinks. There were some reviews about long wait times, non-toasted buns and the cost but the write up of the place itself gave me nostalgia vibes for a place called Cobra Burger in Richmond, VA so I had to try my luck. I really wanted to love this place, as I've not found anything like Cobra Burger here in Indy. When we arrived, around 6:45p on a Thursday, the patio had a good amount of people, but inside was pretty empty apart from the bar. We sat at a two top in the bar area. The music was at a pretty low volume, especially considering the amount of reviews that said otherwise. Our server was also bartender, so it initially took her a couple of minutes to come over, which is understandable. She took our order for drinks and then after bringing them back for the food. She was nice and provided good service although juggling tables and the bar, plus she was also pregnant. It took a very long time for us to get our food (close to an hour), despite three guys working the line in the kitchen, banging out burger after burger. The food arrived, hot and correct. Both my husband and I were disappointed that the reviews were right and the burger buns were not toasted. Non-toasted burger buns actually make the burgers harder to eat and less enjoyable. My burger was decent for a non-handmade vegan option; for the price my expectation is amor sophisticated/handmade creative one, but I am thankful that they had a vegan option at all. My husband thought his burger was just okay and that he's had better ones around Indy, so we probably won't be dining here again. For the size of the burger, they should bring you ample napkins without having to ask because it is very messy trying to eat them. For two burgers with fries, one small mac & cheese, and three beers (one regular and two nonalcoholic) before tip the bill was over $80. Now, if the food was top-tier fantastic, I would say fine but being that it was more middle of the road it's a bit pricey.

    I came here on a whim and I'm glad I did! Kuma's corner kind of feels like a rock concert venue turned restaurant on the inside, with lots of memorabilia in there. There's a bit of grunge aesthetic too. I opted for the patio seating on the nice day that I visited. Service worked pretty quickly and friendly. I got a mocktail to start that was cranberry, orange, and pineapple juice. It was pretty yummy. I was far more impressed by the foooood! My partner and I split a burger and Mac and cheese. The size small was $9 and was honestly huge. It was definitely enough food for two. The burger we got was also a good size, and came with a lot of shoestring onion on top. The burger was $18 but it's a 10 oz patty which is practically a better deal than most other burgers out there. I'll be back again sometime for sure!

    Fried pickles

    This had been on my places to try list for a while, and I was a little disappointed. The atmosphere was very good and the service made up where the food let me down. My burger wasn't cooked how I asked. But now looking back on it, the music being so loud I bet my waiter couldn't distinguish me saying medium well from medium rare but I can't even blame her. The bun was also very dry and didn't complement the burger very well. It was also just too much. But if you like a hefty burger this is your spot. The fries and fried pickles made it a lot better for me, and fortunately I didn't have a long wait before being seated or served my food

    Excellent menu, big portions, filling, cooked well and solid take on its Chicago roots. Outdoor patio in summer is on point.

    Buffalo Chicken Tenders

    If you're looking for a good drink and a good(spicy) burger, look no further! Their margaritas are incredible!!! So delicious, made my day brighter. We had the Brujeria burger, it was big, spicy, and so flavorful!!! We also got buffalo chicken tenders and fries, they were pretty good. I expected them to be a bit spicier, even so, they had decent flavor. It's a pretty cool place, I love their artwork, it's a bit loud, but I'd go back and hang out in their patio. Service was very slow, a table was sat down and given water, they waited close to 13 minutes before they decided to leave. It was a bit of a struggle to get our servers attention for more water, a to go box, and the check. I'm not sure if it was due to a lack of employees or if it was slow. Either way, their food is pretty good.

    Mule and French fries
    Regan S.

    The best spicy margarita in town hands down! I love bringing my kindle or a book to the bar and ordering a burger and/or french fries and a drink or two. The food is always great, and the environment at the bar is welcoming. The music is different from what I typically listen to, but is a nice change of pace and enjoyable. I have a gluten allergy and just do a burger with no bun when I want a burger and fries. The horseradish mayo with fries is incredible, but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Cheese curds 10/10.

    The food was SO good! The cheese curds were seriously a 10/10 and probably one of my favorite things we ordered. The burger was awesome, and the mac & cheese was sooo good too! Everything we tried was delicious. Definitely a great spot in Indianapolis and we'll be back!

    Y.O.B.

    A friend who's local to Indy recommend recommended this spot. He told me about the vibe. I was not found on the atmosphere of Kumas Corner. It has a Gothic theme. They were blasting, heavy metal music, which gives me a headache. So I placed my order for takeout. I had the Y.O.B. burger + The housemaid chips were delicious. The service was good as well.

    Came in for dinner on a Saturday about 530 and had an ok experience. (Note- I used to live in Chicago and went to the Chicago location monthly, so I do love their food.) This "biker bar" feel is great for Fountain Square neighborhood. Pros -Selection- They have a great selection of fun burgers, all named after a metal band/song. (Fun theme) - Speed- From time ordered until we had our food, was about 15 minutes, and considering how busy, not bad. - Atmosphere- The atmosphere is great here and fun teeming with music, artwork, and graffiti in bathroom. Flavor- Food has great flavor and for $20, plenty of food! Cons - Food- While quick, Burger was a bit overcooked and fries were underdone (a bit soggy?), and buns was a bit tough and stale. (They could also use coleslaw(?) as a side, as it would go perfect with many of their sandwiches.) - Service- While quick, our waiter was just eh. Definitely a must-try for burger-lovers, rock music fans, or someone wanting something new!

    I've been meaning to go to Kuma's Corner ever since I moved to Indy back in 2021 and today was finally the day. I had heard here that they gave smaller portions during lunch so I went during lunch-- not sure if I was supposed to ask for the lunch menu but ended up just getting the (at least what I think was) normal sized burger. I got the Plaguebringer which was quite good. Fries were excellent too. Server friendly. Overall good experience, loved the atmosphere and the rock music. Would certainly go again if I was in Fountain Square & hankering for a burger.

    Metallica Burger with fries

    Love me some Kuma's. Went years ago to the Chicago locations. First time here in Indy. Food is fresh & delicious as always. Their house made sauces are second to none. The service is always on point. Staff are super nice. The atmosphere is the best: Heavy Metal!

    Kuma's Corner has been on my list of places to try for the last couple of years. I heard you always have to wait which is why I hadn't been. I did notice that they allow you to get in line now so that's what I did, which actually worked out perfectly. When I arrived we were able to be seated right away. I really hadn't done much research so didn't know what to expect other than they have good burgers. What I didn't know is it is very heavy metal themed. Everyone is very tattooed and wearing kind of goth clothing and they were playing hard rock music which isn't really my thing but I think the people who were there probably knew it and it's their thing. The burgers appear to be named after Heavy Metal "things", not quite sure what but I'm guessing, maybe like Heavy Metal groups or something. So to the food, they have a variety of burgers (again themed) but they offer different toppings not just your usual burgers which is nice. The fries are amazing as well. It is located in Fountain Square, so parking can be a challenge. We took an uber so didn't worry about it but if you didn't just beware of that.

    If you're heading to Kuma's Corner, be prepared for loud rock and metal music, it's part of the full experience! I ordered the famous Kuma burger with fries and added a side of mac & cheese. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The burger lived up to the hype, but the real standout for me was the mac & cheese, so good that it's now a must order every time I go! Service was great too, friendly, quick, and attentive. Definitely a spot to check out if you love bold flavors and a lively atmosphere!

    What can I expect from their beer menu? I can't locate one online. I'm hoping for a couple ipa's and a variety of other beers.

    Extensive beer list with multiple IPA options. You’ll be pleased!

    Do they have a kids menu.?

    Not that I can recall.

    I had a friend tell me they were a 21 and over place like my brothers keeper, are they 21 and over only?

    Not at all. All are welcome, they even have high chairs for the little ones

    Is the music played super loud? Would an autistic individual with sensory issues be comfortable at this establishment with noise?

    Kuma's is very loud. They would definitely be uncomfortable with sensory issues.

    Where's the brunch menu?

    I really don't think the menu changes. I could be wrong but even if it does, I can't imagine it changing much.

When we went on a Friday night, there was live music on the biergarten's patio, but it was so loud that even indoors, you could not hear your conversation.

I will say the waitstaff is exceptionally friendly, even with a busier biergarten. The food, I'm sorry to say, leaves much to be desired. Presentation is unappetizing, and as some other Yelpers have mentioned, the meal is definitely not a feast for the eyes. I wish I could say the flavor was better, but everything was bland and underseasoned. My husband, who's never met a sauerkraut he didn't adore, could not even finish his meal. The portions are small for the price, but honestly, the flavor was so underwhelming it didn't matter how much was on the plate.

During my recent visit, kids were freely throwing footballs and baseballs around crowded tables where people were trying to eat, drink, and relax. One overthrown baseball nearly hit one of my dogs.

Allowing ball throwing in a packed dining area creates unnecessary safety risks for guests, servers, and pets. A simple rule against throwing footballs/baseballs in the seating area -- or designating a separate play space -- would make a huge difference and help preserve the relaxed brewery environment many customers come for.
