I'm a big fan of the Downtown Indy location. I didn't even realize they had a Carmel location…read more It's hard to offer a full-fledged review because I love Downtown Punch Burger so much. These are the burgers you're looking for. I swear by Downtown Punch Burger, and it's the burger place I always send visiting relatives and out of town friends to. They cook fantastic, straight-ahead burgers but also offer creative and tasty burgers with flair. My favorite is the Bleu burger with a turkey patty. But feel free to get as weird with it as you want. They really bring the idea of "Have It Your Way" to life. The Carmel location isn't quite up to the Downtown Indy level. The burgers were basically the same, but not quite as flavorfully popping. The service, cleanliness, etc., was all perfectly fine taken on its own merits. But compared to Downtown Punch Burger, doesn't quite measure up. I'd definitely say give them a try if you're in Carmel and looking for a good burger. If nothing else, the waffle fries are completely to die for.

Great place to catch a game, grab a beer, eat some food; the trifecta!!! Another place I've…read morevisited many times and forget to check-in or write a review. The bar seating is a large space with a multi screen tv at the end. It has one of the better beer selection in the area. There is regular restaurant seating on both sides of the bar. During the warmer months, the patio is packed. Servers and bartenders are typically great. Food typically comes out quick. Foods that I like: pan pizza, pretzels, shrimp burger, turkey burger, and of course the chicken wings. I get the hermanaki wings. With the wings, you can get snack size or regular portion. Typically, there is plenty of parking. Occasionally on a big game day, parking can be a challenge, but it is very rare.

I've been to The Red Bridge Bistro three times now, and every single visit has been outstanding…read more The service is always exceptional, the food is consistently delicious, and the cocktails are some of the best around. On my most recent visit, I sat at the bar with a few friends, and Alex and Zach absolutely made the experience. They were attentive, welcoming, and struck the perfect balance between genuine conversation and excellent hospitality. I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink, so Alex recommended the Lavender 75, and I'm so glad he did. It was light, refreshing, perfectly floral, and paired beautifully with dinner. Throughout the evening, both Alex and Zach were constantly checking in, making sure my drink was full and that we had everything we needed. Their service alone is enough to make me come back. As for the food, I order the Pot Roast Sliders every single time because I truly think they're one of the best dishes in Cicero. They're packed with flavor, incredibly tender, and the portions are generous enough that I always have leftovers to take home. This visit I customized my meal by skipping the bun and adding mashed potatoes instead, and wow...it was absolutely incredible. The Red Bridge Bistro has become one of my favorite restaurants. Between the outstanding staff, incredible cocktails, and consistently amazing food, it's a place I recommend to everyone. I can't wait for my next visit!

PARKING: 5/5 A lot of free street parking, which we used, as…read morewell as it appeared that parking lots were available to the south and west of the building as well as across the street. SERVICE: 5/5 We made a reservation, but arrived early and were still seated promptly. Kristi and the other food runners were awesome at tending to us, answering our questions, and very personable. AMBIANCE: 4/5 The space tends to the darker side with a tall divider wall separating a dining space from the decently-sized bar area that also includes booths and tables for dining. They also have a large patio space to the west of the building, where they have a trailer serving beverages and live music available. Only real negative was the the door to the patio space was right next to our booth in the northwest corner of the bar area, which allowed a brisk breeze in each time it was opened. FOOD: 4/5 The Bavarian Pretzel ($13) is large and decent. It's served on an upright pretzel holder, heavily salted, and served with a beer cheese that seemed a tad runny and a spicy maple mustard that seemed more sweet than spicy. My wife ordered Blackened Fish Tacos ($17), which come as an order of 2 with cabbage and onion and a side of chips and salsa. She said the tacos were very tasty, the chips and salsa were just OK. I ordered the Blackened Fish Sandwich ($17), which was served on a hoagie-type roll with lettuce, tomato, and onions along with a pickle and side of house-made chips. The fish sandwich had good flavor, and while I appreciated that they made their chips, their flavor was just OK and I couldn't easily access many of the crumbs that scattered through the bottom of the basket. OVERALL: 4/5 Food was good to very good. For the prices charged, the value was not as good as we would have liked. *They do appear to have a happy hour Tuesday-Friday 4:00-6:00 that offers half price on the wings and pretzel as well as some beverage specials.

I wasn't refusing to pay but simply wanted to know why I was being charged. The manager's unprofessional attitude turned a $2.95 problem into a permanent customer loss!

Pulling into the packed parking lot on a football Sunday, we were already discussing our backup…read moreplan if the wait was too long. Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.

I have never been to BuffaLouie's and since they had a patio I thought it was a good time to try it. I was seated right away. The cocktail list looked good but I was really craving an Aperol Spritz. My waiter was very friendly. He said they could make any cocktail. So I did indeed order an Aperol Spritz. I will have to say it was a good Aperol Spritz. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and tater tots. I always appreciate it it when tots are an option. The tenders were pretty standard. But I did really enjoy my tots. They were nice and crispy.

They had a nice selection of draft beers for a pizza place. There were about 12 different drafts and they weren't your typical selections.

I tried this place based on the great reviews from other Yelpers. We went on a Friday night at 6pm…read moreand this place was packed. My advice is get here early or you'll be standing in a long line of 20-30 people outside. I ordered the Cuban sandwich on pita bread. It was ok. It wasn't the best I've had and I probably won't order it again. The toasted pita bread made it harder to eat and it came with deep fried chips that may have been a little overcooked. My wife had the Meatball sub and said it was very tasty. It came with 11 meatballs and my wife commented you needed to eat the meatballs down the middle of the sub first before you could eat it as a sub. There were a lot of meatballs and it also came with same overcooked chips. I'm not sure what the draw is for this place. Maybe it's the pizza. It seems they serve a lot of them both in the restaurant and take out. If I come back I will try the pizza to see if that's what the hype is all about. We will try coming back on a week night to avoid the crowd.

Fifteen minutes later it was all just sitting there. She refused to give me a refund and said I had to wait for her to finish all the orders before she could get to me?????? Do not go to this place!
