We went for Valentine's Day dinner, so yes, I know it's going to be crowded, but the service sucked and it was poorly run. We had reservations. Hostess asks for my name, finds my reservation, and says she doesn't know how long it's going to be. Then another lady grabs the tablet from her and yells at her to stop seating walk ins when they're fully booked with reservations and they have no tables. Needless to say we were not seated anywhere near our reservation time. Our waitress was typical of the current terrible service in the restaurant industry. Takes order, brings drinks, and you never see them again until they bring the check. They have food runners bring the food out, so if you need anything, they just look at you like a deer in the headlights and walk away. We really liked the food, which is why I gave 4 stars. The pretzel with beer cheese appetizer is worth driving there for. The burger was very tasty and prepared well. I'll agree with other people in that it is a little too pricey. The appetizers shouldn't be the same price or higher than entrees, and the $3+ sodas are just ridiculous. I can see how some people think it's too loud in there, but I guarantee tonight was as packed as they get, and we didn't think it was too bad. I like the style of the place and the seats were pretty comfy. We would eat here again if we're in the area. read more

We hadn't been to shift in awhile and just went again! We definitely missed it! The street corn nachos are SO yummy! The chicken Caesar wrap is fab and the service was great! Very quick and efficient with our family! read more

My husband and i live close so Shift is an ok alternative. The restaurant is clean and the food is ok. OK meaning nothing is amazing but you can get a nice salad or burger etc. Recently was very disappointed though. I had the steak street tacos and they literally consisted of 3 tortillas filled with lettuce, sauce, some cheese and steak pieces that were cut so small and so few that they should not have been called steak tacos. I am talking cut to the size of a pea and maybe 3-4 per taco. I understand the restaurant business runs on tight margins but take the item off the menu or raise the price to deliver quality. Seriously do better. read more

This place is awful. Owners are not good people!! Spend your money elsewhere this place doesn't deserve it. Food is overpriced and not good. Owner sits in the corner and mean mugs everyone all night it's odd to say the least read more

This place has a difficult time retaining personnel. The owners & manager are terrible communicators. The service is bad because of this.

Menu has just changed. Food is too salty. The chips are not good. Nachos are too salty. The new bread for sandwiches is not a good sandwich bread. Someone doesn't know what they are doing. We used to come here all the time. Definitely is going downhill over the last 9 months or so. Really disappointing because they used to have really good food. It was one of our favorite places to go. read more

Had never been here before, as it is a 45 minute drive from home, and it seemed like an unlikely place to offer a Thanksgiving buffet,but we had heard some great things about it, so we decided to eat out on Thanksgiving for a change. We were really impressed with the quality of the buffet and its value. They had fried chicken, turkey, roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, mac and cheese, asparagus, fried apples, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fresh fruit and rolls.I piled my plate high with most of these things, but ate every bite. I loved everything I tried. Dessert, either pumpkin or pecan pie, was included. Service was friendly and attentive. We intend to return next year, and maybe before to check out their regular fare. read more

So I have this thing for fried green tomatoes. My all time favorites used to be Libby's Southern Cooking in Covington Ky. But what if you decided to go Italian instead of Southern? Try the fried green potatoes at Shift for a new perspective. read more

We've been here multiple times. And everything we have ordered has been very good. The service is good and the overall vibe of the place is nice. We will be going back for sure ! read more

Picture is of the burned fried chicken. The overdone meal slid out of the black breading. Can't believe they served it. Not a good experience. Nothing special or I should say they didn't have anything I wanted. There were items on the menu but not available. We were very disappointed. The server was very nice but as everywhere she was overworked due to staff shortage I suppose. read more

Shift restaurant and bar - Skin of fried chicken. Inedible. - Sports Bars Near Me - Bright, Indiana

Great atmosphere, great service, and tasty food. We stopped in to catch the Purdue basketball game and enjoy drinks/dinner with friends. When we arrived, we were disappointed to find they did not have BTN (Big Ten Network). But the story only gets better from there. (not sarcasm) The manager apologized and got right to work getting them subscribed. Now this is amazing and these days is almost unheard of. Most bar and grills will just apologize and say sorry for your luck. But Shift, holy cow. They went to work to make it happen. He spent over 45 minutes on the phone working to get us the game and lo and behold, he did! We enjoyed our dinner (tacos, a giant Bavarian pretzel, a very fresh, crisp Caesar salad, and great draft beer options) and we also enjoyed the game. We'll be back for sure. This kind of service is what brings people back! read more

First, the 3 stars is only because the server was amazing and accomodating. Beyond the service, absolutely disappointed given the hype about a second location opening at Hillcrest in Batesville. Next, we had a reservation for 5:30 the plan was to check out the food to see if we wanted to consider them for a wedding and rehersal dinner in Batesville. The parking lot was packed, so initially we thought, oh this place must be amazing. We could barely get in the door and had to wait to be seated for about 10 minutes - when we were seated we were put next to a group of 30 surrounded by another group of 15. The noise level was OFF THE CHARTS - tip if you are going to cater to large groups, close your restaurant to people that want to go an enjoy a meal out or at least pick a section of your facility for large groups and one section for normal dining. We could barely hear the server. The food was "meh" the potato skins didn't have enough BBQ sauce, most of it was on the plate so it looked pretty. The fried pickles were super salty although the were not greasy. Two of our party of four had a burger which both agreed had very little flavor. The bride had the special, the filet - super tender BUT again, flavorless. I had the Street Tacos ( steak) they were ok but again missing sauce. Was the food "meh" because of the 3 large groups - not sure. Presentation gets an A, flavor and quality get a C. Ambiance gets an epic fail, Server gets an A++. Our server was top notch which is whyShift didn't get one star. She was attentive, professional, and spot on. Overall, I would not give this place a second chance( although my hubby things we should) and will certainly not be using them for anything. It's clear to me that Shift is more concerned about volume than quality. Wish it wasn't so....was really looking forward to them coming to Batesville. At this point I think they will become of the next restaurant statistic in Bateville unless all they do is cater to the club golf crowd and large groups then they will have a chance. read more

The food is awesome!! We highly recommend the fried green tomatoes, pretzel and beer cheese, the Cobb salad, and the bacon jam burger!!

Great place to eat and socialize. Shift has great food, great drinks , and of course great service! This place can't be beat!

This restaurant and bar is more of a sophisticated sports bar than dive-bar. It's got class inside the building as far as the appearance as well as within the menu with made from scratch recipes like their fried chicken dinners (served unlimited home style) on Sundays. On this Friday evening we got a table without wait and were greeted immediately by a cheerful waitress who seemed to be genuinely happy. It's refreshing to see that in your staff so kudos to this management team. They've got to be doing something right. I ordered the bbq chicken flatbread that was just the perfect amount for one person. Fresh ingredients and I could tell they smoked the chicken which added just a subtle touch of personality. One of the things that was most noticeable (and In the BEST way) about this entree was that they used actual crispy bacon crumbles, not that fakin' bacon that so many reputable and not so reputable pizza joints use. With so much attention to detail in this one menu item, I can't wait to try any number of other items and will surely be back for a follow up visit soon. Check this place out! read more

The food isn't great. And it's way too expensive for what you get. Customer service could use some work. Gorgeous inside. But usually a little dirty. You can get better food down the road for less money. I do not recommend. Two stars because it's pretty inside. read more

We went to listen to the Acoustic Blue band and have a few drinks. So I can't provide any feedback on the food offerings. Our service was very good and we didn't feel any pressure to order food. This is my third visit to this restaurant and my best experience. I will have to go back and give the food another try. read more

Second time at Shift and because I'm so excited to get our awesome food, I forget to take pictures! Our first time we had salmon that was incredible. This time was half price appetizers last Thursday. We had their nachos and 2 orders of dry rub wings! Of course we took some of the wings home, but both ROCKED! I wish I knew the name of our first server, but he and Ali were great! I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is perfectly decorated and comfortable! read more

How was the service? Service was great! Waitress was responsive, quick and had a positive personality. Would I eat there again? Yes How was the food/drink? Food was delicious. We had the street corn nachos and Bavarian pretzel for appetizers and they were so good! Highly recommend the nachos. For dinner I had the fried chicken salad, Buffalo style and it was a very good Large size salad How was the vibe/aesthetic? Laid back. Modern rustic. Clean. How was it priced? Average priced. read more

Beautiful restaurant but this place really missed the mark for me. Upon entering, it can be difficult to find where the hostess stand is. We were not greeted for several minutes by staff. After being sat, our waitress asked for drinks in a short, uninterested tone and never welcomed us or introduced herself. I ordered the short rib street tacos and they were just okay. The short rib meat was too dry and the slaw on top was bland. However, the french fries were great! Overall, this restaurant will not make it long in the area unless they fine-tune their menu and improve their customer service greatly. At the higher price point that it is, the service and quality of food needs to improve to meet those prices. read more

Sat at the bar for dinner this past Saturday. Very nice inside/atmosphere and lots of room for seating. They have an outdoor patio with live music playing, too. Food was ok, typical sandwiches or burgers. We got the sliders special and BLT and added chicken. My favorite items were their French fries and Down Shift bourbon cocktail. Staff was a little short, so it took a bit to get our food. It is a nice place for Bright, IN! read more

Portions were cut very thin an the batter overwhelmed a good piece of fish read more

Good burgers. Bruschetta chicken is a new favorite. Nice to have open restaurants in Indiana and they are following all the rules and made us feel very comfortable. Plenty of seats on a Sunday evening. Looking forward to stoping back with a group. Highly recommended! read more

Good food, service and atmosphere! Highly recommend. I love the fried chicken dinner, tacos, fish and chips and southwest chicken salad.

Came here with my mom, early Friday afternoon. Our first impression was how pretty the inside of the building was decorated, and how big it was. There was an outside area to eat, and plenty of 2 and 4 top tables. We got 2 appetizers, tacos, a burger and drinks. I was happy with the restaurant and would definitely go again. They were doing a dessert sample that day(!) so we got some free cheesecake which was the best cheesecake I've had in a really long time. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because my draft beer was flat and my mom's drink was almost all whiskey and no coke. It was a really small issue, so we didn't mention it, but we should have... I'm sure they would have fixed it. Will go back! read more

Still great food and amazing service. Brought the kids for Half Price App Night. Bavarian Pretzel and Beer Cheese, Fried Pickles, and Whiskey BBQ Wings. All tasted just amazing, drinks always stayed filled and plenty of smiles from the staff behind their masks sadly. Daughter, "I'm going to go home and my stomach is going to ask what I did... and I'm gonna say it was worth it." That pretty much sums it up. We are fans and love having family time with the family at Shift. read more

First time to shift last night and really enjoyed it! The place is cute, the service was good, and the food was great! I ordered the bbq chicken flatbread with a side caesar salad and would easily get it again. I had a peach moscow mule, which typically I opt for a regular mule but decided to give it a shot, no regrets!

I waited 90 minutes for a to go order tonight. They said it would be 55 minutes to make two burgers because they're swamped, okay no bigger. I arrived 50 minutes after I ordered (730), I sat and waited for another 15 minutes until they said it would be ready very soon. At 8pm they said, 5 more minutes. At 815, they brought me my food to check out and it was only 1 burger.... So another 15 minutes and they brought out the second one. When I got home and bit into the burger, I was upset to say the least. The burger was rare. I pulled it apart and the inside was still cold. So they charred the outside quickly and called it done. I'm 7 months pregnant, I cannot eat a rare burger. I order it well. The first burger was perfect and I ate that one and my husband ate McDonalds. We won't be going back there. The sad part was the restaurant wasn't busy, over half the tables were empty. read more

I was so disappointed in all of the staff and patrons that were allowed to walk around mask-free. I don't even know why some tried, because they leaned in to talk to tables and uncovered their faces. It definitely wasn't Ohio standards. Our waitperson was not overly friendly or attentive. My late sister used to love this place. I know she would have been disappointed. I'm giving the food some credit. We did enjoy our appetizer and meal. read more

The food is great with large portions, gorgeous atmosphere! Haven't had a chance to sit out back yet. We will be back!
