    I've been bummed ever since Punch Burger disappeared from Downtown. But I'm glad to say the waffle fries live on at The Burger Joint. Definitely stop in here if you're on the mood for a good burger and amazing fries. Staff were super friendly and the whole place was clean and nice. The food couldn't be beat!

    Small place located near the Walmart at 56th & Emerson/Fall Creek on the near NE side. Plenty of parking. Very cute interior, maybe 2 doz tables and also a bar area. My coworker and I went around 11:45 on a weekday, so right before any lunch rush. There was one person in the bar area but we were the only others at that time. I did notice theyr wer doing some take out, too. Not having been there before, we asked our waitress what her favorite was and she said "it's all good" -- which is a "correct" response for staff, but really, we were interested in what she would personally recommend. So that didn't help us narrow down anything. The menu has salads, sliders, apps, more ... but being "The Burger Joint" we decided we should try burgers. I had the Hawaiian burger with regular fries, and my friend had the regular burger but wrapped in lettuce (she has to be gluten free) and the sweet potato fries. The burgers were good, nothing great but nothing bad. The sweet potato fries were kind of thin and not too flavorful. The star of the meal were my fries-- nice thicker cut and served very hot. (IF they did their sweet potato fries like that, they would be amazing!) Over the time of our being there, a couple other tables did get filled, but nothing too crazy. The one thing that mgmnt should be aware of is, where our table was, it was definitely competing sounds with very loud music in the kitchen versus the dining room music. Made it hard to talk, and that was without many other people in there! And honestly, our service was ... off. I like to give grace and you never know what is going on with someone. We were not diffcult customers, really easy orders and trying to be friendly, just not getting any of those vibes in return. Given the number of different restaurants we can try, it puts this on the "probably not again" list. One good thing was the burgers were $11 , so that was reasonable for the amount of food. #ReviewsByRL

    This new restaurant is located in an up in coming strip mall. They have decent sized private lot that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall. They offer dine-in and take out. I liked the restaurants hip and trendy vibe. The staff there was friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a decent sized dining area with tables, chairs and high-tops. There is also a bar with seating. The bar is not a full service bar. They only serve beer. There is a seated waiting area up front, with padded benches. Additionally, there was music playing throughout the restaurant. I was solo, so, I just sat at the bar. As for the menu, they serve salads, chicken sandwiches, sandwiches, and of course, exotic signature burgers. They also have some savory flavored lemonades. I got the mango lemonade and it was very delicious. Just keep in mind that you have to pay for refills though. I ordered the Choriburger, which came with fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food and it was hot and fresh. At first glance, I was like, "where's the beef", but it was very filling and, in the end, I could not eat all of it. It was very flavorful and tasty. A very unique burger that I have never had before. I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend checking this joint out as well. They have some delicious food, first class service and amazing atmosphere. You will definitely not be disappointed.

    If you've ever been to Indy's Burger Joint on Indy's southside, then you already have a good idea of what to expect from their recently opened sister restaurant The Burger Joint right at Emerson and Fall Creek Parkway in a strip center that houses Subway, ATI Physical Therapy, and La Cantina Mexican Restaurant. This spot is a little iffy already having housed two restaurants that didn't make it - Great American Pizza Company and Streeet Eatz. This is a super busy corner for restaurants with Lincoln Square, Peace of Mind Pub & Eatery, Hardee's, Taco Bell, and Burger King all joining the aforementioned right at this corner along with a couple primarily takeout joints - Golden Chef and Garrett's BBQ. The Burger Joint only opened soft this week. The word's not out yet. I'll openly admit that my 5-star rating is generous. I mean, hey, it's really just a burger joint. However, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is super friendly. I'd probably call this a 4-star, however, in the spirit of supporting the new kid on the block I'm going with a 5-star based on quality food, fair prices, a good atmosphere, and friendly service. If you've been to the southside spot, then you already know this is a place that is casual but serious about burgers. The southside location reminds me of a Waffle House, but the food is quite a bit better. The southside location is definitely more run down and, well, dirtier. I would call it a relatively clean dive. This building really isn't that old. This spot is definitely not run down, though it's nothing fancy. There's accessible parking easily available and appropriate curb cuts. As you enter, there's a little bar area in the middle (If I understood right they'll have beer soon and hope to expand. I don't believe they have any alcohol right now and I don't see any on the menu) with a row of tables on both sides. The front window also has some high-top tables. There are booths and traditional tables and lots of spaces for a wheelchair user. The hostess, only in her second day, clearly understood accessibility and she and one of the servers moved a chair. The menu emphasizes burgers, of course, though there are other sandwich options, appetizers, salads, and hand crafted milkshakes. They do have iced tea and they serve Pepsi products. I ordered an "Original Burger" - essentially your basic burger. It says plain, though mine did come with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The fries are very nicely seasoned. The serving size was decent, though not outstanding. I did get my always desired refill. My bill came in at under $15 without a tip. I think that's pretty good for a dine-in experience. These days, it's pretty easy to spend $10 or more at a fast food joint. For an extra $5, I got a better atmosphere, better food, and service. As Yelp Elite Jemmie likes to point out, Indy is heavy with burgers and this area definitely is heavy with burgers. Heck, it's not too far away to get to Culver's. However, I could easily see this place becoming a neighborhood favorite like Lincoln Square. While a couple restaurants haven't made it in this area, most of the restaurants on this corner are doing just fine. While it's arguable that we sure didn't need another burger joint, this neighborhood definitely needed another quality place to have a dine-in meal with good food and service. I look forward to returning. Welcome to the neighborhood, The Burger Joint!

    Choriburger aka blob

    Service was good, if that. The food? Hell nah, i ordered 2 burger bro. Got two plates of mush. The sides. They needed sum salt (I got fries). The shake? Watered down. But I guess it's good for the price. ($5). I also ordered some chicken nachos. I said no jalepenos, and they made sure it came with it. Ambiance is cool. Keeps you hopeful for what's coming. I'm sorry, but I never experienced such disappointment before. This my first yelp review. That itself says a lot. If you looking for the best burgers here, they only have nachos.

    Doesn't look like much when you wall by. But I was hungry and popped in. The ambiance was very friendly. The service was fast and very welcoming. CHICKEN NACHOS: 10/10 SANTA FE BURGER: 8/10 CHORIBURGER: 10/10 Fries: 8/10 they are greasy but very yummy!

    Receipt

    I called in to place my order. I went in to pay and was greeted after she finished taking another to go order. While on the phone, she said I can add anything on my veggie burger. I added fried jalapeños and didn't know it was up upcharge until I got my receipt. They offered a black bean burger vs an impossible burger which was a plus. It looked somewhat like a mondo burger from Good Burger. But when I took the first bite, the whole thing crumbled. It wasn't well seasoned. They offer waffle fries, seasoned fries, tater tot, salad, or fruit for the sides which is a plus.

    BBQ Burger with Garlic Parmesan French Fries

    My husband and I wanted to try something different for delivery and decided on The Burger Joint. We both ordered the BBQ Burger which arrived without bbq sauce or fried onions. There was also about a cup and a half of shredded lettuce on the burger. The garlic parm fries were okay, but I would not order them again. The burger was decent. It was cooked well, but had no seasoning.

    We weren't impressed. We thought the hamburgers were overcooked and dry. Overpriced for less than mediocre food.

The sandwich is about as long as my humerus, and I ate the whole dang thing in one sitting. New York Gourmet Deli is not to be confused with NY Gourmet Deli, also in Indy. New York Gourmet Deli is located on East 21st Street on the near east side; NY Gourmet Deli is on Ruckle Street, near The Children's Museum. Are they owned by the same people? I don't know, but someone needs to change their name so I'm less confused. Anyway, New York Gourmet Deli, on the east side, is great and located in an unassuming parking lot full of potholes. It looks like a liquor store from the outside, but step inside and you'll see the large deli counter where you order sandwiches, burgers, fries and other foods. The joint is also a convenience store, of sorts, with a wall full of refrigerated beverages, aisles of chips, candy, and lots of Mexican snacks. There's also a little corner of the store with goods like laundry detergent and other necessities. The hustle here is unmatched. The fellows behind the counter were flying all over the kitchen to fulfill the orders. I visited around noon on a weekday, which seemed to be a busy time because there were lots of people from all walks of life here, either waiting to order or waiting for their orders. The guys behind the counter were unflappable and took orders and made sandwiches at a speedy pace. Even if there's a line, you won't wait long for your food.

Service was very good with only a slight wait due to a small line. You order, they start making your order and you pay. A few minutes later the have everything ready and bagged up. I got a chopped cheese, it does reminded me of a sloppy Joe, and my only complaint was I wanted more lettuce and tomato. Richelle got the east coast roast beef and cheddar. She loved it and it had plenty of lettuce and tomato. Fries are good, and the give them a sprinkle of seasoning too. Plenty of cans of pop to choose, but would like to see a few diet pop options added. We will definitely come back, and I ask for plenty of toppings.

Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Food: lame Price: expensive!…read moreService: not friendly Atmosphere: SUPER WEIRD... dimly lit, Deer-butt wallpaper and clowns??? My husband and I had never been here before and the lady at the counter was less than friendly. She did tell us the menu was on the other wall. My husband got a Diet Coke that came in a can and we both got a classic plate minus the toast. 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties... nothing special including the presentation. The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.

However, as I parked I spied Sleepy Hollow Gourmet Deli & Cafe along with a Jack's Donuts. I was curious. So, I wheeled over and realized they were like conjoined culinary twins. I detoured my plans and decided to hang out at Sleepy Hollow, a delightfully named establishment (though I do wish they'd lean into the decor a bit more) for this Irvington-set restaurant. Jack's does seem to be the dominant force here. There are donuts, bagels, cookies, and even kolaches. The prices are surprisingly affordable. Drinks include hot coffee, iced coffee, lattes, boba energy, and Pepsi products. They do have both sweet and unsweetened iced tea. The menu also includes Choc-ola! The deli menu includes toasted subs (every sub has 1/4-pound of meat and you can go double for an extra price). They use Boar's Head meats. You can get chips and a soft drink to make it a combo. This strip center is always a little hit-and-miss in terms of access, however, with some nearby road construction it seems just a bit slower and I was able to find a spot that improved my accessibility. If you go to the door by the entrance, the curb has a bit of a step to it. If you go to the end of the aisle, there's a smooth and level section to make it all easily work. The interior itself is nicely laid out and easily accessible. The employees were super friendly. They also offer catering. There's a combination of higher-top tables and regular tables. Business was fairly steady, however, I had no issue finding a place to sit. I ended up ordering a chicken salad sandwich that was a healthy size and quite tasty. I grabbed a bag of chips and my usual unsweetened iced tea. Pricing was right about $13. Overall, I was quite pleased and I would easily return. Whether you're seeking donuts or a deli sandwich, Sleepy Hollow (or Jack's) is an ideal place to stop in.
