    Well gosh. I have lived here all my life, bank at Forum Credit Union and have dined in the area several times and can't believe today was my first time visiting this place. What I will say is it will NOT be my last. Tucked in the corner with plenty of parking, this place is the perfect spot for a breakfast/brunch with really good options even for those that may have dietary restrictions. I arrived around 8:15am, and there was just maybe two couples there, and one person that was working. I toll had a little work to do before my meeting started. There was plenty of seating, light easy listening music (the 80's) playing. Not loud so if you needed to take a call, you could. My server was efficient. She wasn't overly friendly, but she was certainly efficient. If you are a coffee drinker they have a ton of neat options to pick from. They also have a bar, so if I weren't working I probably would have added a little something to my coffee. I will be back, bringing my family and friends!

    Five years later and I still consider Northside Kitchenette one of my favorite brunch spots in Indy! My go-to order is the blood orange margarita, cinnamon roll and a half order of biscuits and gravy. Everything is so fresh and the service is always top notch. Sometimes parking can be difficult, depending on the time of day. Highly recommend!

    Breakfast sandwich and home fries
    Lindy V.

    Breakfast sandwich was 5 stars. Tasted great, egg was perfectly cooked and bacon was crispy as ordered. Home fries were fine. Didn't knock my socks off, an after taste of some spice that just overpowered things a bit. Service was friendly and it's a cute little place. It's a little loud when filled with people but not too loud to have a conversation. Will be back.

    Pumpkin Coffee
    Carolyn H.

    Northside Kitchenette is me and my husband favorite breakfast place on the north side of Indy. Even beats the places in Carmel! The food is so amazing and their pumpkin spice coffee always is so exciting to get during fall time. The service is always top tier here and the atmosphere is so homey and clean. They have the best eggs Benedict I ever have had!

    Southwest Chicken Salad
    Pamela B.

    Northside Kitchenette's Southwest Chicken Salad is one of my favorite salads in Indianapolis. The avocado ranch dressing works perfectly to tie together the salad greens, chicken, corn, black beans, avocado, shredded cheese, and pico de gallo. The crispy tortilla strips provide the perfect crunch. The interior of the restaurant is attractive but I prefer sitting outside under the tented patio when the weather allows. Even though it looks out on a parking lot, I find I am happy sitting there with my ice tea and Southwest Chicken Salad.

    Vanilla coffee w/whipped cream on top

    Had such a great brunch at Northside Kitchenette yesterday.We were greeted with smiles and seated within minutes of arriving. I ordered the Kitchenette Sink, and it truly lives up to its name--loaded with a soft buttery biscuit at the bottom, hearty potatoes, bacon crumbles,savory gravy, melted cheese, and fluffy eggs ( I ordered my eggs scrambled but you can have them however you'd like) all in one comforting dish. Every bite was warm and satisfying. And the coffee drink ,vanilla coffee ,topped with whipped cream was the perfect sweet finish. Cozy vibe, great food, great service and definitely a spot worth coming back to!

    On a morning where I wanted to get out early and get the day started, I started the day off with NK. It has been 7 years or so since I've been here and the beauty is, is that I still craved it after all this time. I got in shortly after opening and was greeted by staff that was still getting some tables together for the day but was seating patrons accordingly. I was seated in the back with other families. The store was clean and bright light like an inside picnic. Ironically, the waitress was just as melancholy as the last waiter I had many years ago. However, she was helpful and tried to be personable. She checked on me regularly and accommodated my needs but I did hear the table next to me mention the wait staffs demeanor. The food, however, was still good. I still got the same thing, the kitchenette & it was still good LOL. Except the coffee. I got the iced vanilla coffee and it was superrr sweet, not tasting any coffee. They were serving pancakes w/ blueberry compote, which they normally don't, but I didn't want to try something new. I'm glad I tried them again, go try them for yourself!

    This was my first time here for brunch. Overall the place is super cute, was well staffed and the food was pretty good! The food came out pretty fast and we were seated almost immediately. Will definitely have to come back!

    Kitchen"ette" Sink
    Rachel S.

    Northside Kitchenette is brought to you by the same owners of Delicia and Northside Social, two Broad Ripple staples! Like its sister restaurants, Northside Kitchenette feels high-end but approachable, with locally sourced ingredients and a well developed menu. I especially love their outdoor patio seating in the summer, complete with shaded spots and sunny spots to fit whatever you're looking for. I tried the Morning Kicker Omelette, which was delicious and generously portioned, but I subbed the horseradish sour cream for a normal side of sour cream due to taste preferences. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and seasoned without being overly complicated. Others at the table ordered the Brioche French Toast and Kitchen"ette" Sink and everyone seemed to enjoy their respective meals! They do have a lunch menu with sandwiches and salads alongside the all-day brunch options if that fits your tastes better. Overall, I feel that their menu is priced slightly high for the type of food, but it also stands out in quality from nearby competitors so I will absolutely return based on my positive dining experiences.

    Lemon berry cheesecake
    Breon J.

    This place was amazing. We went for brunch this past weekend. The food was to die for. Delicious omelets, well seasoned home fries and perfect raspberry mimosas. I topped my brunch off with their lemon berry cheesecake and it was the perfect addition. The service was very friendly and prompt and the ambiance was cute, quaint and homey. Definitely check this spot out for a nice brunch at a good price in Indianapolis!

    Loved the staff. The place was cute. And oh man was my turkey basil sandwich delicious!

    I'm going to start off by saying I should've ordered the dark chocolate bread pudding! I know this would've increased my rating! It looked so good, but it didn't really go well with my breakfast, or so I thought! Regrets... Well, this place is super cute inside. Bar seating, indoor/outdoor seating, 2, 4 and 6 top tables. No more than 20 tables in the whole place. The mimosas are delicious, and I recommend the mango. I ordered the build your own omelet, which allows for only 4 ingredients before costing you $. It was basic and nothing special. My partner ordered a biscuit and gravy meal that he'd order again. Add a cinnamon roll if you can start off with this. It seems to be made from biscuit dough and made hot n fresh with frosting.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years.

    **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.
