    Sampler - hot sauces served cold
    Amber E.

    Who is keeping this place open? It's so gross. Like, just be a bar. (which I couldn't speak on the spirits as I myself did not partake). We stopped in here on a Saturday because we wanted a new place to try but didn't want to drive far. We ended up at Shakers. They're located in the same strip as Kroger. We arrived and were grated and got drinks really quick. Our waitress was great. The food was terrible and also expensive. We tried the salad bar, the wings and an appetizer sampler. The salad bar was pretty basic but I wanted soup. The soup wasn't even hot. I brought this to the waitresses attention and she checked and said someone hadn't turned on the burners but she got them turned on and it would be warm soon. Ewe. It sat there for hours not heated or refrigerated and they just turned it on instead of throwing it out. The sampler wasn't good either. The tortilla chips tasted like they came out of a bag. The mozzarella sticks tasted like they were straight out of a freezer after being frost bitten. The wings and the quesadillas were mediocre. The marinara was ice cold. The whole meal was like $75. I hate paying good money for shi**y food. Just, no thank you and never again.

    Loaded tots

    IT WAS UNNECESSARILY LOUD ON TRIVIA NIGHT WHEN WE ARRIVED! There are no prices printed on the menu. Luckily I had a coupon. Initially the service was slow but once our order was taken, our appetizer arrived in 7 minutes and our entrees about 10 minutes after. The loaded tots appetizer was very good. The tots were crispy and the toppings were plentiful. My companion enjoyed his breaded tenderloin Sandwich and I enjoyed my Reuben. While the Reuben was stacked a bit unevenly (there was a sloppy half and a dry half) it still hit the spot. The seasoned fries were good but I don't like Red Gold ketchup. The food was good. Service was ok. Ambiance of a warehouse.

    A really nice sports bar. Very open and clean atmosphere. They have a huge bar and do trivia on one night of the week. All you can eat wings on Wednesday and Sunday. They have a nice salad bar as well. The server was very nice and quick. Welcomed us when we came in and kept coming back to check and refill drinks. Order came quickly. Unfortunately, after they brought our food, our waitress became distracted by her family who came in and we didn't see her again until time to get our check. Spent half of the meal without anything to drink. The food was pretty good. The seasoned fries were excellent. The wings were good, not very spicy but he ordered mild buffalo wings so he didn't expect much. We also got beef sliders which were more or less small single smash burgers with a pickle American cheese and an onion ring. They were pretty average buns a little stale. Mac and cheese on the side was good. Very cheesy and thick. Good taste. I w I'll probably come back to see if other options and servers are better.

    Shaker's Cheeseburger and Onion rings
    Lindy V.

    First time here. I got the tenderloin with fries and my friend got a cheeseburger and onion rings. The tenderloin was okay, a little over done, nothing spectacular for the Hoosier state. The fries were wimpy and said "seasoned" but were not. The burger was good and the onion rings were quite tasty. They have a ton of TV screens so likely a fun place to watch sports. Nice and quiet for lunchtime, service was good as well.

    Chicken tender dinner
    Storm R.

    My family and Indecided to go to shakers and play music bingo. They have music bingo on Tuesdays at 7pm. We all ordered sweet teas. My son and I split a pepperoni pizza and added a salad bar. My husband got the chicken tender dinner. My other son got the mini cheeseburgers. The food was ok. Nothing fancy or anything that would be helpful. The fries do need to be crispier, they were soggy. If we come back we will just have appetizers and drinks. Service was good and the music bingo game was fun.

    Boom boom shrimp taco special with tortilla chips
    Jeffrey W.

    Great local eatery! A couple months ago, some coworkers and I stopped at Shakers for lunch. Even with a group of about ten people, service was prompt and kindly. The shrimp taco special was my selection. It was just as delicious as it looked! An excellent restaurant in southeast Indy!

    Build your own omelette. Meat on the side. Mushroom and spinach omelette with Gouda cheese on top. Blueberry pancakes instead of toast.

    Me and my family went. We had the wings which were cooked perfect. I suggest getting garlic parm for the sauce.

There was a lot of food for the price, and the ribs had plenty of meat on them. The fries were solid, and while the mac and cheese wasn't my favorite and reminded me a bit of cafeteria mac and cheese, I still left full and had leftovers to take home. The food was ready surprisingly fast, probably within 7 to 10 minutes. The staff was friendly throughout the visit and did a great job checking in on us, clearing trays, and making sure everything was going well. As for the atmosphere, I can appreciate the theme they were going for, even if it's not quite my style. The dining room is pretty dark, and the dark murals make it feel even darker. That said, the food and service easily made up for it. Overall, it was a really good experience and a place I'd happily visit again.

Hubby and I ordered a meal for two and it came with your choice of 2 meats plus ribs, and 2 sides along with bread rolls, and pickled veggies.

Kinda sad that I didn't get to order dessert as we decided too late and didn't want to get back in line. Restaurant is set up where you're in line to place your order and pick up your order at the other counter. Line can get a little long but it goes by pretty fast. You then seat yourself and all the condiments, sauce, and drinks are all at different stations for self serve. There are plenty of seats inside and even a bar inside the restaurant. Very casual and kid friendly atmosphere.

The fatty brisket especially was incredible. Tender, juicy, packed with flavor, and honestly didn't even need sauce. This recent visit felt like a completely different restaurant. Apparently you can't request fatty or lean anymore, and the brisket I received was so dry it literally crumbled apart like beef sawdust. There was basically zero fat left on it, which also meant very little flavor. For the first time ever, the sauce wasn't optional... it was rescue equipment. The ribs were okay, but even they weren't what they used to be. They used to have that perfect fall-off-the-bone texture, and now they were just kind of there. Not terrible, just disappointing compared to how good this place once was. I'm not trying to trash Trax because I know how great they can be. That's actually what makes this frustrating. It feels like the brisket went from "Texas smokehouse masterpiece" to "beef jerky with a college degree."

It does not look as though you are entering a restaurant when you approach, but you are. I think they are configured more for takeout, but they have access to the large event area with cafeteria-style seating. So there is plenty of room to eat in if you'd prefer (which we did). The hours seem a little limited so be sure to check before you go. The menu, including the specials, is on a white board as you walk in. The selection is streamlined, BBQ-dominated and carnivore-oriented (other than the sides). The system is a walk-up and order from the kitchen doorway. My wife chose the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Baked Beans while I opted for the Chopped Chicken Sandwich with Kickin Coleslaw. The food was very good. The proprietors were very friendly and engaging, and that was a plus. The prices were quite reasonable. With drinks and tip, it was about $14 each. My wife actually took enough away from hers for another meal, so it was a good deal. Our daughter and son-in-law live close, so we hope to try this place again when we visit.

You can order the meat only or get a dinner that includes 2 sides and your choice of bread (white, wheat, or cornbread). They provide very generous portion sizes. The rib tips are the best that I have had in Indy thus far. They are tender and the seasoning they use is delicious. You could eat them without any sauce. However, the sauce is what takes it over the top for me. They offer sweet, medium, hot, or they will mix the sauces for you. The hot has a pretty good kick as a warning if you are sensitive to spice. I recently tried the Bar B Q bun, which is essentially a pulled pork sandwich. The pork is finely shredded and the sauce is poured on top of the pork. It's almost a fork and knife sandwich, as the bottom bun gets soaked in the sauce. Their sides have definitely reduced in quality over the years. I recently tried the mac and cheese and greens. As a note, they only have greens Friday - Sunday and they often times run out on Sunday if you do not get there early. The mac and cheese was dry and had little flavor. The greens, which used to be my favorite in the city, reminded me of cooked spinach and weren't seasoned. The service remains great. With the amount of people waiting while I was there, they were friendly and efficient. I wanted to order chess pie and there were not any readily available behind the counter. They told me they had some coming out of the oven in the kitchen if I was willing to wait and they brought it over once done. It is carry-out only, so be prepared to take it elsewhere to eat. You can call ahead to place your order as well.
