    Side Bacon
    Makaelah S.

    First time at Milktooth and I loved the atmosphere! It was a beautiful day, so it took awhile to get in, but my friend and I had a great time chatting and catching up while we waited on a table. Our food also took a little while to show up, but we loved the menu options! My cinnamon roll was a little bit more dry than I liked, but I loved the side of whip cream it came with! The S'mores Dutch Baby was probably our favorite menu item! Would come back again just for this! Would also highly recommend the specialty coffee drinks.

    Hands down one of the best brunch experiences of my life. They don't take reservations ugh and when we arrived after the hike from around gainbridge fieldhouse in high 30s weather the people loitering around did not inspire optimism. We put our name down and were told they would "get us in as soon as they can". We waited outside. In the teeth chattering cold. The thought of saying fuck it and bouncing did cross my mind but not seriously. Something told me to wait (probably the reviews I read that said explicitly "it's well worth the wait"). Excitement grew as each party left the restaurant with their little table away boxes and we knew our time was near. Eventually the host said the words we had been waiting for "Bekki, party of 2". We sat at their little countertop bar situation which was excellent because it provided a nice view of the behind the scenes cooking business. It is super warm and inviting inside with a lot of little Knick knacks. Service is friendly and prompt. We both wanted their bottomless drip coffee. GF ordered their bloody mary "it was good". I ordered a beermosa which was DELICIOUS! I don't know if orange juice most makes everything good or what. I had to try their famous Dutch baby which was fantastic. I don't feel qualified enough to really discuss it as I don't know if I have ever had one before but that fruity syrupy shit on top was really refreshing and tasty. GF ordered the grilled cheese and a side of grits. The grilled cheese was huge btw and filled with gooey melty cheese the bread was grilled to a crispy crust on the edges and there was some sweetness to the flavor GF said was some syrupy business. What an unusual combo of flavors there The grits were out of this world. Blue corn and RICOTTA CHEESE?! Are you joking me? Are you fucking with me? Get out of here. Absolutely next level better than sex fantastic orgasmic brunch meal absolutely worth the wait.

    Breakfast Burger
    Bradley J.

    Milktooth lives up to the hype. I got the breakfast burger and it was super good, and the fries that came with it were just as solid. My significant other got the blueberry waffle, and after trying a bite I can say it was insanely good too. Service was quick and everyone was friendly and helpful. It is a bit on the pricier side, but that is expected for a place like this. The ambiance is great, especially being in a walkable part of Fountain Square. The inside is really nice with cool decor and a lot of natural light that makes it a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your meal.

    The savory Dutch baby is the most interesting thing I've eaten in a long time. The base was some type of a very lightly, sweet, spongy pancake. Savory pulled pork, mozzarella and pineapple ranch with cilantro. Who even thought of this combination? A magician sent straight from heaven. We also got the biscuits and gravy, and I can't remember it had a fancy name, but once again, fabulous because it had a soft cooked egg on top and some type of interesting spin on a normal gravy. The spicy bloody was fabulous, they bring it out with a corona so that you can sip the corona after the "spice" to take to bite out. Make sure you check the hours because, they truly do have limited hours. It is worth the experience and it is truly a taste bud experience. Side note: on our check, the tip was added in already and I didn't notice and I wrote in an additional tip. The waitress was fabulous and it was fine, but just pay attention in case you have a large group. This is relevant.

    Still exceptional after all these years! News that Milktooth will transform to a new concept this spring so we had to come before that happened. Lucky if you get a parking spot in their lot but there's free street parking around. Arrived later than opening time on the weekend so we had a 40 minute wait. Clean bright space; bustling atmosphere on the weekends. Noted the auto 20% gratuity and 3% fee for using credit added to bill listed on website and menu. However I had no issue with the friendly and food service. There was good communication when we mentioned a food allergy and felt safe assured to enjoy our meal. Kiddos gave their thumbs up approval, hubby gave the head nod approval, and I with my happy shimmy approval with every bite. Milktooth is truly a spot with top culinary creativity, skills, and taste. Will sorely miss and also excited to try what's to come!

    I ordered: 1. Apricot & Ricotta Dutch Baby Pancake - stewed apricots, cardamon, orange, whipped ricotta, toasted walnuts 2. Sweet Potato Coldbrew - coldbrew, sweet potato syrup, vanilla, heavy cream, served over ice 3. Slab Bacon - two slabs thick cut, Old Major. marinated in chicken stock, rosemary, star anise, nutmeg 4. Beignets - whipped mint cream, chocolate ganache & cocoa nibs Delicious combination of flavors in the apricot Ricotta Dutch Baby and not terribly greasy. Slab Bacon was super tender and flavorful. Beignets were soft and decadent. Sweet potato Coldbrew was interesting and refreshing. No issues with service. I recommend coming earlier if possible because it gets busy.

    Patty Melt
    Vinny M.

    Milktooth lived up to the hype. We stopped in while visiting Indianapolis and honestly enjoyed everything we ordered. Gingerbread latte, pumpkin hojicha muffin, Afternoon at Grandma's Dutch baby, patty melt, plus the two eggs your way with slab bacon -- nothing missed. The gingerbread latte was cozy without being too sweet, and the pumpkin hojicha muffin was unique in a really good way. The Dutch baby was the standout -- warm, comforting, and exactly what you want from a dish like that. My daughter would probably argue the scrambled eggs were just as good as dad's, which I'll take as high praise. The vibe was cute and friendly, the menu was creative but comforting, and even with a big order it never felt chaotic. Would absolutely come back.

    Peaches and Cream Dutch Baby Pancake
    Brian V.

    Bright and airy breakfast/ brunch that's out of a repurposed auto garage (it looks like this was an actual car dealership long ago). During this visit, I was a tourist and first time Indy visitor, but having lived in Silver Lake (LA, CA) for a few years, I think it's safe to say this place is located in an area that leans more hipster. Which is great, because I tend to find the restaurants I really love in these areas. The place was crowded, but I was able to get seated pretty much right away at the bar. The host and my server were very warm and friendly. The menu consists of breakfast classics as well as some more creative dishes. I already knew that I wanted to try one of their sweet Dutch Babies. It was the Peaches and Cream Dutch Baby on the menu at the time of my visit and it sounded perfect. Not familiar with the produce cycle out here, but peach season is winding down. It was delicious! (and aesthetically pleasing) Basically a thick, chewy, substantial pancake served with fresh fruit and cream on top. They have a savory version of the dish as well. I also ordered a latte to wash it all down. Such a pleasant meal with pleasant people in a wonderful setting. If I mind myself back in town, this is definitely on the short list of places to go to for breakfast/brunch.

    Grits
    Regan S.

    The coffee is always delicious and I have never had a bad latte here. Milktooth's menu is very gluten heavy, and as someone with a gluten allergy it is difficult to navigate ordering here. This time I ordered cheesy grits with bacon and an over easy egg. I love grits so much and I had high expectations. Unfortunately, the grits came out soupy and I kept having bites that bordered on uncooked which was not enjoyable. The egg was not over easy, none of the yolk was runny. The overall taste was fine and I appreciated the aftertaste of the dish, but I just wish it would have been executed better. Cherry on top was getting sick afterwards. At this point I have tried Milktooth enough times to feel confident in writing it off and sticking with other options that do a better job of accommodating allergies.

    Saag Paneer biscuits. Wow! EXACTLY the right amount of heat. My wife had the Chilaquiles and she said it's the best she's ever had! Go!
    Dan Y.

    This is place is such a gem. Everything is so unique and tastefully done. Wonderful service and I nice atmosphere. It's not reply the place if you're trying to eat healthy, but if you want an amazing culinary experience in a casual atmosphere, it's a must! The only downside is that there's usually a wait for a table, but it is reasonable and well worth it!

    Liza G.

    It's been awhile since I've been here and I forgot how much I loved this place! So cozy, and the staff makes me feel like I'm their neighbor. The downside is, if you don't get there early, they'll likely be out of a few dishes (and always really good ones). This particular visit I tried the smash burger for the first time and was very pleased! The highlight was the bacon fig jam on it -- delicious! They also have great matcha, and make all syrups in house which is a huge plus. Can't wait to return!

    Strawberry waffle, Turkish egg Dutch baby
    Renata G.

    Milktooth is THE spot in Indianapolis. Friendly staff, artist work on the walls, and most importantly it feels like they really care about food. Everything on the menu sounded good so it was hard to pick. I went with Turkish Egg Dutch Baby Pancake since I lowkey have a pancake obsession and a Dutch baby is hard to come by in NYC. It was the perfect balance of savory and sweet - a true brunch icon. If I lived in the area this cafe would be my go-to for sure. The service was excellent. When splitting the bill they divide it by the seat, super convenient. But they also automatically add 20% tip which I'm not mad bc I would've tipped that regardless but a heads up!

    Biscuits and Gravy
    Kia T.

    I have heard nothing but good reviews about milktooth for as long as I can remember, but unfortunately my experience was less than. I would call myself a hesitant foodie. Im open to new experiences, but im still aware of when food is very middle of the road. Unfortunately thats how I felt about milktooth. Nothing was mindblowing. Service and Ambiance 9/10

    What are wait times like on a Saturday morning at various times?

    Depends on the time. If you get there when they start serving breakfast then you will be seated right away. If you go an hour after the place fills up pretty fast and you will wait like 15-20 min. The service is pretty fast and worth the wait.

    Do they take American express?

    I apologize I do not know the answer to that. I know that they take Visa and MasterCard.

    I see there are a vegetarian options , anything for vegans?

    The menu changes often, however I'm certain that they don't allow for alterations. Plan accordingly.

    What gluten free options do you have besides the obvious like salads and omelets? Any gluten free substitutes like GF pancakes or waffles?

    Our menu changes daily but we always have a few gluten free options to choose from. We recommend you give us a call the day you plan on coming in and we will gladly let you know the days gluten free options.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    Hi! We do have mimosas, unfortunately they are not bottomless.

    Is there any vegan options?

    Yes

    Are dogs allowed in their outside seating area? Or is there a place I could easily chain my dog in view of the restaurant (e.g. a bike rack, tree, light post...)?

    There are outside seats with a rail surrounding the sitting area. If you sit at one of the tables by the rail and they do not want the dog at your table, you could easily have him/her sit on the other side of the rail and still be next to you.

    When is the busiest time on a Saturday? How long is the wait?

    If you are by yourself or with one other you can opt to sit at the counter (which is actually the best place to sit because you can watch them cook everything). The counter is normally no worse than a 15 minute wait even during busy times. If… 

    Directions for parking?

    Plenty of free parking on the streets nearby. They have their own lot too but it only holds about 20 cars

I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly.

We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

    **Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.

Also, the grits lean heavy into jalapeno notes rather than a creamy, cheesy base. It's such a cute venue with great energy, and a few little kitchen adjustments could make it amazing!
