Why haven't I been here sooner?!?…read more Smash'd Burger has been on my list to try for a while now and I finally got a chance to try it out. Popped over to Irvington for lunch. We ordered the Farmhouse burger and the OG Smash burger. I asked for waffle fries but she said they didn't have them anymore! (Insert crying face emoji). So we settled for the thick cut seasoned fries instead. Parking was a little tricky as it usually is if you come to Irvington. There is street parking right in front of the restaurant or a small little lot behind. The food came out very quickly. We sat outside and it was perfect! The food was hot and delicious. The burger was flavorful and filling. The fries were excellent. I loved the seasoning and crispiness. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the mood for a good smash burger and fries!

The only flavor came from the sauce. I got the midway and it was not much better. And the sweet spread was too much and took over the flavor of the burger. The star of the meal were the fries. They were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. Super let down coming here.

We sat, ordered beverages and the burgers. We got in and out in 40 ish minutes. If I had more time, sitting on the patio would have been nice. I noticed a lot of carryout orders being picked up, so I knew it must be good. We are not local to Indy so finding a quick good meal was important. They had a decent local beer tap list, so I was happy to try a new to me brew. We got one Tillamook Cheddar Burger with fries, and a Patty melt with onion rings. It must have been one huge onion! Both burgers were cooked to our request, both sides were delicious. The service was efficient. I would come back if the opportunity arises.(The show at the Murat was also great).

Our server quickly greeted us and took our beverage orders...they carry only Pepsi soft drink products. She quickly returned beverages on tray, then took our orders. I opted for the Patty Melt along with a side of onion rings. The entrees arrived in the blink of an eye. My Patty melt and onion rings arrived fresh and hot. They even tasted great too! The hamburger patty was thick and juicy and cooked the way I'd prepare it myself. Portions were more than ample. After finishing my "feast" it was time for dessert, a Root Beer float, served in a tall larger glass with an ample portion of ice cream. I would suggest ordering it for two...it's that big. All enjoyed their burgers and we're looking forward to returning next year. * I purposely didn't review the other meals served, as they will be doing their own Yelp reviews.

Lot of different combinations with plenty of sauce options. They were good, but not quite the best I've ever had. Sides: cheese bits were awesome! Homemade ranch was even awesomer. The onion rings were terrific. Fries were solid. Tater tots (not my thing) but pretty good. Service was good. However the dining room could have been a little cleaner. Just felt a little greasy and slightly run down. It is a sort of local greasy spoon vibe. We expected more of a fast casual vibe. All in all, I'd definitely go back. Food arrived quickly and the server was attentive with refills on drinks.

Service here is…read moreactually really good, my first time here was like oh this person is amazing but then I went again and different person, same vibes. Vegan friendly which is great for a burger place. You can come here and pig out while bringing someone who doesn't enjoy the slaughter - a big plus for extended family outings. A couple of other pros are there is a whole freaking parking lot which is unusual but awesome. The full bar has plenty of options including great craft beer. Last but not least the cheese curds are the best in Indy that I'm aware of. I've had a couple of their burgers so far and I don't think you can go wrong with them. The Motörhead is basically a Greek style burger which I found to be exceptional. Burgers are cooked to how you like it so execution is also phenomenal. The Neurosis is your Swiss and mushroom style burger, also great. While it's tempting to go off of the name when ordering I would try to make sure the palette matches your tastes - there's way too many options. Big portions so plan to carry around a to go box after.

It fits right in with the Fountain Square neighborhood! This burger had a lot going on. Chicken, waffles, bacon and a sweet syrup making it taste like something you'd want to eat for breakfast. Everything worked, except the actual burger. And since that was supposed to be the star here, I knocked it a little for not meeting burger expectations. Unfortunately the burger was not seasoned at all. You can probably tell just by looking at it that it was also pretty dry. All the other elements were holding this together and the burger itself got lost because of the lack of seasoning and flavor. No complaints with service or presentation! Just needs improvement on the actual burger, at least with this one anyway.

Our waiter seemed new or like she was distracted. We had to remind her multiple times for a refill of our drinks.

Brussels were over sauced but well cooked. Our beers were basically room temp unfortunately. Not sure if there was something wrong with their kegs as it was a really hot day. Vibes were not there. It has potential but it was basically dead in there, maybe 5-6 other tables seated. As for the service, unfortunately it was not good. They had one person bartending, serving, and managing the whole place (~6-8 tables while we were there) Naturally, it took a while for them to take our orders, for our food to come, and for the check to come/be paid. They were also kind of scatter brained and mixed up a part of our order, we just went with it as we didn't want to wait longer. One couple sat down at the bar, waited around for several minutes and left the restaurant before anyone stopped to get them drinks. Just not worth coming back to again when there's so many other places to go. Maybe would order a burger for pickup/to-go as it was quite good.

One of my favorite memories from The District Tap actually started with a shirt…read more We were sitting on the patio overlooking Georgia Street on a Fever game day when a couple walked by wearing one of the coolest Caitlin Clark shirts we'd ever seen. We complimented it, asked where they found it, and before we knew it, we were chatting with a wonderful couple who had traveled all the way from overseas just to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play that night. Moments like that are one of the reasons I love Indianapolis on game days. The patio was the perfect place to soak it all in. Fever fans filled the sidewalks, kids proudly carried homemade signs, and there was an excitement in the air that only comes from a city rallying behind its team. We could have people-watched for hours. Our waitress was exactly what every server should strive to be. Friendly, relaxed, and genuinely fun to talk to, she somehow mastered the art of appearing right before we found ourselves looking around for her. We never felt rushed, but we also never waited for anything. The food held up its end of the bargain too. The fried mozzarella disappeared embarrassingly fast and earned a solid 9.3 on my unofficial stretch meter. Crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey inside, with a marinara sauce that was every bit as good as the cheese itself. The chef salad was fresh, generously loaded with toppings, and easily big enough for a meal. I honestly couldn't tell you what beer I ordered... Because what I remember most is the experience. Sharing appetizers on a sunny patio, meeting fellow basketball fans from halfway around the world, and watching Indianapolis come alive before tipoff. It reminded me that sports have a funny way of turning complete strangers into friends. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're headed to Gainbridge.

Our server was friendly and responsive to one member of our group (male) but repeatedly didn't acknowledge another (female). This wasn't a one-time thing, it happened several times over the course of our visit, and it came across as dismissive. As for the drinks: beer prices were nice and cheap, but the margarita was on the expensive side and not really worth it. The place seems geared toward bigger dinner crowds, which may be why a two-person drinks-only table didn't get much attention, but being essentially ignored isn't a great look either way. We wouldn't return. 2/5.

I went with a Malibu and ginger ale, and it was served in this cute glass, I loved it! We were all so hungry, so we started out with a large order of fries, and they are a standout. They disappeared fast, came served on paper, and were crispy, hot, and delicious. We ordered the 2 10-piece wings (the biggest order available), including one batch cooked extra crispy. The wings were good, and I especially enjoyed the Fat Dan's hot BBQ sauce over the regular BBQ. I really liked the extra crispy wings. My boys also wanted burgers. One ordered the Wake N Bake Burger and the other got the Fat Dan's Burger. Both looked tasty, and neither of them complained. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between sports bar and family friendly restaurant. There is seating both inside and outside, and when the weather is nice, they open the large doors to create an open-air feel. That's where we sat, and I enjoyed it. Service was quick and efficient, which was much appreciated since my family arrived hungry. This is a solid spot for burgers, wings, and fries.
