I tried Billy O'Neal's Pub and Eatery on the west side of Indianapolis today. Wish I had passed…read more As soon as I walked in, I was hit with the pungent smell of stale beer. It didn't smell clean at all, but I decided to try it anyway. I opted for the large breaded pork tenderloin (10ounce) with fries and a side of 5-cheese Mac and cheese. Food was served quickly. The tenderloin was clearly a greasy one from the moment I laid eyes on it. I cut it in half to make a double-decker out of it, and half of the breading came off. When I picked up that half to stack it on the sandwich, the rest came off. I put it back together the best I could and gave it a try. The tenderloin was both greasy and tough- it was like biting into a pork chop. There was nothing "tender" about it. Fries were ok, with lot of seasoning salt on them. The Mac and cheese was both hot and cold at the same time- it definitely came from the microwave. The waitress was nice and attentive. $23 total.

We arrived after looking up "Lunch near Airport" and this place popping with good reviews and a high TripAdvisor position. Gayle and I had a very enjoyable Lunch. The inside was bright, clean, well-appointed and spacious. Our wait person was friendly and prompt. I ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese special, while Gayle opted for a Patty Melt (with Fries). Both choices were delicious and just the right amount of food for me. Gayle left a fair amount of food on her plate, mostly due to a huge sandwich and lot for fries. I appreciated that this place offered beers that didn't have the word IPA in them, with my Oatmeal Stout being a great choice. Gayle went for her favorite Chardonnay preference. We both nursed our drinks and the fries as we were in no hurry to get the airport. The Library Restaurant and Pub was a solid choice, and one that we would repeat for either Lunch or Dinner.

What stands out is the decor. Amazing Speedway and race decor! A fun spot! We ordered breakfast items and for the price I have to admit I was slightly underwhelmed. I appreciated they did a breakfast bowl, but it seemed small and mostly hash browns. The flavor was ok but needed spices or cheese or something to pump it up. Maybe I don't know what to order but my impression was it was fun to try but not a go to spot. I might try something going again and getting something g else but there are a lot of such places where the eggs are fluffy and full which I would probably try first.

You feel like you're going back in time about 40 years - and that's actually a good thing. The staff are all extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. I had the steak omelette. I've eaten many steak omelettes and this is the first time I've ever been able to order the steak cooked to my preference. Most places serve them well done. I asked for medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It also had cheese and diced green peppers and onions. Nice size and great flavor. Their hash browns were perfect - crispy on the outside but tender inside. The pancakes are large and nicely prepared - not too heavy but not too light! The waffles are also very good - very large and circular - not as thick as Belgian waffles but very good nonetheless. The fried sliced loaded potatoes were excellent. Cheese, bacon, peppers and onions - again, very tasty. Finally, biscuits and sausage gravy were also very good. The gravy had plenty of sausage in it and it was not too runny and not too thick! If we're ever in town again we will definitely be back!

They have a rather large stage, so they probably have bands or entertainment at night. There are a number of signs warning of restrictions and it appears that they do a security search at night to restrict weapons and drugs. At noon, there were a couple people at the bar watching football and having lunch. We took a booth. Charisse, the bartender and only server was super engaging, attentive and went the extra mile to ensure a positive experience. Not only did she check on us, but the cook also came out and checked on our meals. We had 5 star service. The menu offers pizza, sandwiches and salads. Prices are reasonable. I selected the taco salad with pulled pork. The salad was immense with fresh lettuce, tomato and cheese. The pulled pork was good. The fried shell was a bit greasy. Otherwise, the salad was good and filling. My husband had the Big Western Burger which he raved about (and he can be critical). The burger was specially prepared medium rare for him and it was cooked perfectly. He loved the bacon, onion rings and bbq sauce toppings. He gave the burger a definite 5 stars. The table we selected was a bit cold (it was snowing out). Every time someone came into the building, a blast of cold came in. We probably could have moved but the table was already set. The bar is 21 and over only, so leave the kids home. I'd recommend trying lunch. They have daily lunch specials.

It's been about a year or so since Borage first opened and I finally got around to trying it out…read more First off, I love the vibes in here. It's giving cute, cozy, sunny brunch vibes. My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries. I wish we waited until we got seated to order drinks because the menu was much more extensive than what I saw in the cafe and I would have ordered a different drink had I seen all the other options. The staff here are also very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our little brunch and will be back with family next time!

Borage Market is such a cute space and a great concept, so I really wanted to like it more than I…read moredid. The market has a fun selection of local goods, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast sandwich came from a warmer, and the croissant had become soft and mushy. The egg was a firm, precooked square, and the bacon was limp. The pepper jam was delicious and easily the best part, but it could not make up for the lack of texture in the rest of the sandwich. The chocolate croissant looked beautiful and had plenty of visible layers, but it was surprisingly dense and breadlike rather than light and flaky. Our cold brew and matcha were both good, although the matcha did not have much flavor despite being freshly whisked. Service was also slow and strangely disengaged, which made ordering feel more awkward than it needed to be. There is a lot to like about the atmosphere and idea behind Borage, but the execution during this visit did not live up to the presentation. Definitely going to have to try a sit down brunch next time.

So I'll preface this by saying we've had a lot of truly great food during our 5 days in the…read moreIndianapolis area. Our last dinner - at Dawsons on Main - was the best! We started with Tony's Favorite Nachos which consist of steak, chicken, chorizo or pulled pork (we chose steak) sautéed onions, peppers, house made queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, and black beans on top of freshly fried tri-colored chips. The flavors were truly amazing and often places skimp on the 'stuff' and give you a million chips - Dawsons has the perfect proportion so if anything, you have 'stuff' after the chips are gone. We loved these nachos and were from Texas so that says a lot. We also tried the Firecracker Shrimp, which are shrimp tossed in house-made honey sriracha sauce. These were unlike anything I've had. They had a crispy crunchy exterior and the sauce was to die for - I would buy the sauce alone if I could! It had heat but not crazy heat and the flavor was superb. Our table had the Beef Stroganoff. I must say I am not a fan of beef stroganoff - but this actually was prepared very well and had a very good flavor which kind of surprised me! We also tried the TriColored Tortellini with Chicken which had chicken, mushrooms, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto cream sauce. The flavors were amazing together and I could have eaten more of this as well! We also had the Blackened Chicken Quesadilla which was a Cheddar jalapeño tortilla filled with sautéed chicken, black beans, roasted corn, house tomato relish, roasted red peppers, spinach, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. It was served with sour cream and Dawson's Cajun ranch. Although this was on the appetizer menu, it was easily an entree. It was stuffed with the ingredients and very flavorful and filling. All of the ingredients blended together very well and offered a mouth full of flavor in every bite! Finally, we tried the Bayou Chicken Salad which comes with Blackened chicken on top of iceberg/romaine mix with black beans jalapenos, roasted corn, fresh guacamole, house tomato relish, Cheddar, and Mozzarella cheese. It's served with tri-colored chips and Dawson's Cajun ranch. I left the chips and corn off. This was a generous salad with superb flavors. The dressing was wonderful - a little heat and a lot of flavor. Again, this was very filling as well. There was nothing I could find 'wrong' with Dawsons. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was just extremely good. I wish I could transport this place back to Texas so I could eat there more often!

The black bean burger is delicious, and you can customize the toppings and cheese on any burger or chicken sandwich. Sides include edamame, tater tots, fries, fruit, and a side salad. The sauces, like the salad dressing, are made fresh in house. Sauces include country gravy, buffalo, sweet heat, ranch, and honey mustard. I always order a sauce or two for dipping g my tater tots or fries. The salads are much better than the usual fast food or fast casual restaurant. Always fresh ingredients and the dressing is made daily, in house. Several varieties of salad and they are all excellent. Shakes are excellent! Very thick so you will need the extra large straw. The employees are very friendly and service is fast. The dining room is always clean and the booths are solid and comfortable.
