For the time that I went which was right after opening, it was quiet with about 4 people dining in on a Sunday afternoon. I was greeted immediately. The waitress and bartender were both kind and the perfect amount of attentive. I got the soft serve and also the fried chicken sandwich. This was my second time here and the first go around I had the smash burger and a beer, which was good BUT the fried chicken sandwich really satisfied my cravings. And it was the perfect size! I'm already a huge fan of soft serve and this soft serve was delicious! It was thick and filling with the perfect flavor and toppings. I can't wait to try the Thai Tea flavor next month. Thanks for having us Natural Provisions! read more

We had a great time at Natural State Provisions! It was our first time there and we enjoyed the "hipster saloon" unique feel and vibe. The food was great and very filling! Come hungry and ready for some hardy food, there isn't a ton of healthy options so don't come here expecting so. There is however, a vegetarian smash burger which is helpful for our plant-based folks. There's also great outdoor seating with a dog park. Great for a summer evening hangout! read more

Atmosphere: Standard bar, about 10-15 seats at the bar and about 5 high tops and 4 low top tables. The bathrooms were really clean. Service: They had a bartender/waitress and a few of the kitchen staff run out food. Drinks: Beer is cheap and cold, if you come on a Tuesday? it's a dollar off tap beer. Woo! Food: I just.....can't say anything positive. The onion rings were chewy and most of the pieces were the outer layers of the onion skin so you couldn't even eat it. We also ordered the Pork sandwich and it was so sweet, but the worst part about it was my first bite was pure cartilage, I had to spit it into my napkin, I pretty much lost my appetite after that. The bun was also sogged out from the meat, which was weird because there was barely any meat on the bun. I'd recommend this place for decent priced beer, but the food I would not recommend. Really bummed out since the reviews were so good. read more

This place is so cute. Nice big space for indoor dining, large patio and a big dog park area. The only thing lacking was umbrellas on the patio. It was almost 100° when we stopped in so we opted to eat inside since there was no shade. The service was awesome. They were very attentive and helpful. We ordered several things: hot dog meal, catfish meal, catfish sandwich & kids meal. We had some things at the table and got some to go (& it traveled well with good packaging!). All of the food was delicious. Love the GF options, i feel like they had several... We had no complaints about the food (& we finished it all!). Pricing was fair as well. I loved that the drinks came with fun, bendy straws- even my High Noon! I like when restaurants have fun little touches like that - makes me remember them. Ice cream for dessert was the perfect finish to the meal. It was delicious and the serving size was nice. I would've liked more toppings but that is a personal preference. Before I left I'd already sent pictures and a recommendation to my neighbors to make sure they check it out! read more

This isn't our first trip to this address, but it is our first time visiting Natural State Provisions. We had a great lunch and some good drinks! I like the outdoor area and the dog park! We started with some pork rinds which were nice and warm. Then we had their double smashburger with fries. The fries were fantastic and I really enjoyed the burger. The service was great even though they were training two new staff members while we were there. They were so friendly and attentive. The one knock is they didn't have any soft serve ice cream! I guess we will have to go back! read more

Natural State Provisions - Ivy Sour - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

There is a lot going on at Natural State Provisions; there's a dog park, patio, dining area, and a cool bar area. The atmosphere is pretty unique and was a cool experience. If it weren't so hot outside, I would have definitely tried the patio. It's definitely a good place to meet up with friends. Instead, we sat in the bar area and were greeted with great service and a menu full of delicious sounding options. To start things off, I got the cheese curds and the "I Saved Latin" cocktail. The cheese curds were super solid; nothing crazy or original, but they were very good, crispy curds. Because it was my first time visiting, I wanted to try a unique cocktail, and the I Saved Latin was exactly that. It was smokey but refreshing at the same time. I hadn't had that drink yet in Indy. Because I was starving, I ordered the Woodland Ape burger, and I definitely had an appetite to match. The burger was bursting with flavor; the pimento cheese and jalapeño poppers worked so well with the pulled pork on top of the burger. Be warned, though. This is not a clean eating burger; it is juicy, saucy, and stacked with toppings. I really enjoyed the woodland ape because it was a burger that actually packed a lot of flavor. I feel most burgers are boring and bland. Not this one! My only complaint, unfortunately, would be the price. For what I spent, there are some other places that I'd like to try before coming back. Because the food and drink were so good, I will definitely be back, but it may be a minute. read more

Came here with a friend and loved how eclectic this place is!! The minute you walk in you can't but take in all the quirky decor. I ordered a plate of cheese curds and they were so delish! I also appreciate the fact that this place has plenty of street parking even though it doesn't have its own parking lot! Overall good service and good food. I will definitely be back to try out more items on their menu! read more

Arrived at noon and was quickly greeted by Jordan and Gail! Sat in the spacious and airy bar area. Brought my hubby and we had lunch before dessert. I had the double smash burger, nice and hot with crispy edges on a lovely sesame seed bun. Waffle fries were cooked to perfection and maybe had finely shredded parmesan cheese on top. My hubby had the tenderloin, a great size portion but maybe a little over fried and dry. Soft serve was Cookies & Cream this week, delish! Counted 4 other Yelp Elites while we were there. Great atmosphere, we will definitely return. On Dorman St. where Flat 12 Brewing used to be. read more

Great location and the building is really cool. I'd come here with my dog to drink but I would not eat here. Everything is a la cart and it can add up quickly. But wasn't willing to spend over 20 dollars for anything and a side so I just went with the waffle fries a side of ranch and greens. The waffle fries were super crispy. The ranch had an interesting flavor and taste homemade. The greens were absolutely terrible. I've never had greens that were sweet. It tasted like they added a cup of sugar to them. I was so disappointed because they smelled really good. I think they could be cooked a little longer as well. Service was fine nothing to write home about. read more

Natural State Provisions - Greens and waffle fries - Burgers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place is a very cool concept. Picnic tables outside (adjacent to a dog park) where you can eat the food that you order inside. The send a buzzer- and you pick up at the kitchen all the way through the bar on the other side. A tad confusing but another customer gave me directions on where to pick up the food. The only real issues I had were 1: newbies don't have much direction on what to do (specifically where to get the food) and 2: some people need to understand their (and other) dogs body language. A few uncomfortable squabbles when we were there. The food was good. Tenderloin was amazing- I would prefer Mayo to (or with) mustard but didn't pay enough attention to the description. The burger was a good burger. Fried pickles and ranch were good too! Will definitely go back! read more

The only reason we will return to this place is for the dog park. And may give it another chance. Maybe. The service from the worker at the counter was so rude. And it wasn't just me. The red-haired pregnant worker was rude to the two ladies that ordered before me as well. She wasn't welcoming, she didn't offer a greeting, she just stared at you when you walked up to order. Sighed heavily multiple times and acted as though you were inconveniencing her. No thank you no nothing. I ordered a meal for my husband and before I could order mine she told me my total and went and fixed a drink. I had to tell her I wasn't finished ordering. She just replied "OH" and stared at me some more. The food took 50 minutes to come out. Fries were hard and cold. The burger meat was falling apart not seasoned. My bbq pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad at all. The pimento cheese spread on it was ice cold though. Having hot and cold so drastic wasn't the most complimenting to each other. 10/10 for the dog park though. I understand they're newer and have kinks to work out. But the service was so off-putting, and hit and miss on the food. read more

We ventured out on a Saturday evening w/the kids and had planned to go to King Dough. Driving by we saw a line and decided to turn around -- and while turning around we came across Natural State Provisions. A quick inquiry in the Yelp app showed me this was a place we could bring kids...so we did! I love the ambiance. Chill, comfortable, kitchy. Upon entering we were welcomed by the staff member at the ordering counter who explained we could sit anywhere (except up at the bar - w/kids) and that we'd order w/her after viewing the menu on QR codes at the tables. We sat on the bar side (b/c the food side where the ordering counter was had a stronger fried food smell). The kids ordered corn dogs and fries. I ordered the salad. My husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich...and we shared a side of sweet potatoes and a side of greens. Annnnnnnd, I got a beer. The food was decent. The salad was not as appetizing as pictured, but honestly...who orders a salad at a place like this? I only did because everything else looked a little heavier than I was game for that day. I would have definitely gone for a hearty cup of soup if it had been on the menu. The kids scarfed down the corn dogs. They reported the fries were "ok". The fried chicken sandwich was probably the show-stopper --- though, the sweet potatoes were top of the list for me. We'll be back - and I'll get a sandwich next time. Our return will probably be less about the food and more about the pool table (its not super common to find a place w/a pool table kids can play on). I also appreciated the decent beer selection and chill neighborhood-vibe. read more

Good beer, decent food. Beer a little more expensive than I expected for the location and what I'd consider competitors. Service was spotty too. I may come back to check out the dog park in warmer months. read more

You're telling me I don't have to drive 45 minutes north to get some amazing Pax Verum beer? Phenomenal. We used to come here when it was flat 12, but really digging the new ambience and vibe. Staff was friendly and quick at the bar. The food menu looked amazing, but we didn't eat. Got to have a Velvet Kush IPA though so we were happy campers. We will definitely be back to try the food. read more

Heartfelt, decadent Southern food. Refined bar program. Ambiance that drips. Dog park. Shows. This is a perfect hang spot, whether you're with a big group, kiddos, or your pups. How lucky are we to have this beautiful culinary gem in our hood? Natural State is pub food with style. The smash burger, for instance, is classic with a few extra touches, like the zingy burger sauce and bread & butter pickles. They also have Deep South classics like fried catfish, and some northern delights like Chicago dogs and cheese curds. Pro Tip: the ranch here is the best on the planet. Ranch up everything. The interior is classic pub, with a comfy bar, ace service, and kitschy decor. The staff are super friendly and cool, and the drinks are so good - try the spicy mango Marg, it comes with a Tajin tamarind edible straw. Suh ghud. Outside, you have lots of picnic tables and a huge dog park! Lots of space to chill and play. There's even a little stage room off the bar where they have shows from time to time. So fun. read more

This is a pretty dope spot to get good beer and let your dog run wild. The inside is vintage tavern vibes while the outdoor area consists of picnic tables with a small dog park. We did not eat here since there are limited non-meat options, but the menu looks like it has some delicious choices for those who do eat meat. I'll definitely come back, especially during the warmer months. read more

I was excited to visit Natural State Provisions since it's part of Pax Verum, whose brewery is in Lapel, IN. I ordered the Momwich with fries as my side along with a Clouded Judgment beer to wash it down. Fried bologna on Texas toast with cheese, onion, N'duja mayo, bread & butter pickles & sea salt kettle chips - this sandwich was the bomb! This very tasty combination brings back memories of Mom's fried bologna - but even better!!! The thick cut French fries were very good and reminded me of a beer battered fry. The tap room had a cool lodge vibe with several taxidermy animals and comfortable seating. Our bartender was very friendly and attentive, making this an all around great first impression. I can't wait to go back!! read more

I had a meeting in the area around lunch time and had planned to quickly grab lunch at what I thought was a different place (oops - not in the area often). I follow the IG page, but really had no idea where it was. We were greeted immediately upon arrival and given the low down on what was good and they were very knowledgeable about gluten free! I was shocked when I was told I could get FRIED catfish. It was delicious! They even had mello yellow. The ambience is so cool. I WILL be back. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday and it was great! The space is very cool and they did a good job converting it from a brewery into a restaurant. There is a dog park, large outdoor dining area, tons of dining space inside, and a pool table! It has a funky/fun ambiance throughout. We tried the smash burger and hotdogs. Both were great and so were the fries! The meals also come with a PBR or drink. Several Al a carte options as well. The cheese curds were tasty as well. I'm glad they did something with this place! Can't wait to frequent it. read more

Natural State Provisions is a fun spot and is a nice addition to Indy. You can park on the street beside the business. We came for dinner and you are able to seat yourself either inside, or outside where they have a ton of picnic style tables and a dog park. We opted to sit inside, as it was super hot outside. The interior has a funky, vintage vibe. They have a cocktail list, beer on tap and mostly serve bar type food. We ordered cheese curds for our appetizer, but everything came out together. The curds were smoking hot and absolutely delicious. For my entree I did the smash burger combo which came with fries and a soda. (The combo seemed like the best value!) The soda didn't come out until the food did which was a bummer and the fries were not super hot but I liked how the were seasoned. The smash burger was delicious, and I had all the toppings which were fresh. There is a 3% fee to use credit cards and if the bill is over $40, 20% gratuity is added to your bill. read more

Finally made it to Natural State Provisions! We had some delicious cocktails, tried the New Mexican style egg rolls, and each got our own sandwiches! Both the spicy fried chicken sandwich and the cheese burger were great, and the fries were crunch goodness! Only thing we didn't try, was the soft serve ice cream because we were so full! We will definitely be back for that!! Also, there's easy, street parking right outside and a dog park! Can't wait for some warmer weather to bring our pup! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The service was walk up, the tables were dirty. No drink refills. The burger was ok. The fried pickle chips were cold and hard. It was also more expensive for no more than we got. read more

Pretty cool spot with great food. I tried the smash burger and it was just a greatly made meal. Everything you'd want from a smash burger. The fries were also very well seasoned! I ended up coming back the next day for the $20 pitcher of margaritas special. If that becomes a Sunday special for this place, they can expect great things. It went really well with the queso that was so good. Love the little dog park too. It's nice for spectating while drinking or bringing my own dogs. Can't wait to try more from this place, including the ripper dog and more drinks! read more

We found this place online and saw they were having $1 wings and bingo. We love a good deal and a night of bingo so my wife and I brought a friend ready for a great night! This location is a little odd and not really around other restaurants, but upon going inside liked the decor. You order at the bar and then go sit down. We all did that and were ready for some bingo. Our friend's wings came out and they looked great. Upon trying them he confirmed they were tasty and our mouths were watering. He then waited for our food to come too. Unfortunately, that was an effort that meant cold wings for him as even though we ordered 2 minutes apart our wings came almost 20 minutes later (two games of bingo). They did eventually come and we enjoyed the BBQ, Buffalo, and Razorback wings. For $1 they are great! I just wish they did not take so long. And if they do take so long don't serve half the table. That gets awkward. That would truly only lose one star given they were great. The other star is lost because it is it cost $5 a bingo card. I have never paid to play. Bingo is meant to bring people out and order food not be the cash grab. Maybe that is okay for great prizes, but they were things like a drink, an app, an ice cream (which we won two prizes!). That is not great given you're paying so much to even play. Their bingo caller also talked into a microphone that if it was working was awful as we struggled to hear and we were three tables away from her. For $5 bingo get a better microphone :) read more

We came by around 8pm on a Friday to eat outside and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered at the bar (menu is on QR code) and they gave us a buzzer that went off when food was ready. Then you go to the kitchen to pick it up - super easy. Outside they had a station with condiments, napkins, plastic silverware and water. All the staff we encountered were really friendly, helpful and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed my mocktail and my husband was excited to see they carried Mr. Pibb on tap. Food was done quickly and was hot. We would like to come back and try a few other things on the menu and maybe some soft serve next time. We enjoyed being around the dogs, too! read more

One of my new favorite spots. The bar is super cool & there is a big patio with picnic tables! They also have a little dog park to bring pups along. We came on $1 wing night (incredible deal) and got lemon pepper and Buffalo wings. The wings were amazing & the ranch was also so so good and it came with lots of it! We got fried pickles too and the portions were big. I got a house margarita & it was refreshing! There is complimentary self serve water inside & outside too. Definitely will be back to try the soft serve ice cream soon. read more

I knew I was coming in for the soft serve so we decided to go ahead and get dinner too! It was wing Wednesday so chicken wings were $1/wing. I got the fried catfish basket. Menu said it was $14 for a basket with 2 fillets, my basket had 3 generously sized fillets. They were very good! My wife got the wings, naked and said they were good but her basket was mostly flats and she prefers drumsticks. We also got the cheese curds as an appetizer and they were delicious! The waitress pointed us to the bar top to scan, check-in, and order our ice cream and then she brought it to our table. It was VERY sweet and hit the spot! Will definitely return for food and for soft serve! read more

Loved the atmosphere, with the casual decor and dog park. The chicken sandwich was good, but I think they could use more substantial buns for their sandwiches. They kind of fell apart which made it hard to eat. Loved the flavor though! Really great beer deals too. Will definitely be back! read more

A place Indy was in desperate need of! A place that you could bring both your dog AND kid! It's so hard to find both.

Joined some friends here for a nice, relaxing summer patio dinner. To our surprise, not so relaxing. Little did we know, there was a screamo/punk band playing in the garage the night we went. For people who don't enjoy that music, it added an overwhelming and chaotic element to the experience. Luckily they had the garage closed but it didn't mask the sound. And if you went inside while they were playing, FORGET ABOUT IT. Aside from that, the service was ok. We had to tell them the cooler needed more water otherwise it probably wouldn't have been filled at all. The food was surprisingly good. I ordered lemon pepper wings and fries. The wings were crispy, flavorful, and full of meat. I think I would have enjoyed the experience more if the band wasn't there. I am willing to try again whenever the time presents itself! read more

I ordered some dinner from DD. I got the pulled pork. Flavorful and juicy. I think it came with a pimento cheese which was fine but I don't usually get cheese on pork. Waffle fries were good. I'll order from them again. read more

My burger tasted like all they seasoned it with was black pepper I don't know what's the deal with the secret sauce but it was horrible and slathered all over my burger the cheese tasted like a kraft "cheese" slice and since my burger was lukewarmish it wasn't melted and tasted disgusting I tried everything possible to try and make the burger tolerable so I could just finish it as I hadn't eaten all day but nothing helped so I simply ate my coldish wake fries that read more

A delicious hidden treat in the Highland Park area. I work nearby and this place has been the talk of my office. It gives off a dive bar vibe, while still being nice, clean, and not too loud, if that can still feel like a dive. It's dark, has a pool table and Christmas lights everywhere, and a casual menu and self-service. Unlike the average dive, everything is made from scratch with quality, local ingredients. I use that fact to feel good about the variety of fried foods we ordered for dinner here! We got burgers, waffle fries, and fried pickles. What a savory delight. Everything was delicious and the cozy inside made this a perfect, affordable option for a chill night out. Will definitely return! There was plenty of street parking. We visited in January but they have a nice patio area that will be so fun to eat at when it gets warmer. read more

This place is amazing. I've been coming here for a few months now because I have a puppy. I came tonight with my family and there was a whole team of people that went above and beyond to help me and my family. Nick did an amazing job making us some delicious food even though we were so close to closing time. Sabrina, Aubrey and Gail help us get comfortable and got us drinks !

I just realized that Natural State Provisions used to be Metazoa! I wouldn't even have recognized the place. It's so clean and bright inside. Really cute space with friendly bartenders and staff. Walked over with some friends and had a great lunch. The burgers snd chicken sandwiches were on point. I don't know how I feel about the marshmallow peanut butter burger but my friend claimed to like it! Grab a craft beer and let the dogs free in the attached dog park. All in all a good day! read more

Great fried chicken at this new spot. 3 annoying problems. Loud horrid music that makes eating unrelaxed. 2nd, no paper menus for luddites without QR codes.....and finally, the dog run outside is fine. 20 dogs at the outdoor picnic tables is NOT. It's unsaniatary, annoying. No one should have to worry about strange dogs jumping on you as eat. This was a less than satifactory dining ENVIRONMENT. But the food and beer are great so....... read more

Very impressed by this place. On one side is an order at the counter southern style food restaurant and on the bar side is pax verum tap room with full service bar. Outdoor includes plenty of picnic tables and a dog park. The place offers a great balance between uber family friendly atmosphere on restaurant side with 21+ in bar. The beer is great, solid selection heavy on IPA (just way I like) but diverse in style. The food was above avg. Smashburgers are tasty and the corn dog was a good touch. Salad was a bit below expectations, pretzel very standard. Prices and portions fair. Will be coming back fairly frequently due to the convenience factor and vibes both with children or without. Highly recommend to others whether have children or not as something for everyone. read more
