This place might seem like your run of the mill "hole in the wall" walk past bar.. but DO NOT pass it up. Bri made the BEST espresso martini I've ever had. They have several hot dog options as well which are great! Definitely stop in this place. read more

Last night we went to the patron saint, and above it has The Saint Shack. They have Slushie Alcohol Drinks like Vegas, and also some really good late night snack food. I ordered the Chicago Dog and it's was actually very good! The wait isn't very long for the food to come out, and also the people there are very nice. I highly recommend! read more

my friend and I walked in, there were three other groups at the bar, one of them actively being tended to. The bar tender told us he'd get to us when he was done with them, and proceeded to stand motionless at the pos until the next round of staff came in. It was about 5-10 minutes, directly in front of us. The next bar tender seemed annoyed at us right off the bat, everything that came out of her mouth felt combative. Explaining that the water is off to the side was no big deal, but it was literally the start of her shift and she already seemed pissed at us. We ordered drinks and food, and the corndog we ordered was mushy. Trying our best to ignore all of the attitude and needing to flag someone down every time we wanted to order (sitting at the bar and still not a crazy crowd), we thought we'd do the $8 random gumball machine. we paid, and our prize was 'mini beers'. We even got other patrons excited about the concept. we turned in the ticket and got one shot glass filled with beer. After asking if there would be two since it said mini beers, plural, they told us that it did say that, but that's not what it meant. Honestly overall it was just really disappointing. As a former waitress and my friend being a former bartender, we get it. we've seen a lot and are really understanding. but none of this made sense or was justified. We will not be returning. read more

Although my wife and I enjoy trying new restaurants and bars, I don't think we fit the target customer well for the Saint Shack because we are older. The food and cocktails we tried were tasty and reasonably priced. The hostess who greeted us was friendly too. Located on the west side of Meridian Street between the mall and the Slippery Noodle restaurants, you can pay to park in the mall or use the metered parking along Meridian if you are able to find a sot. Fortunately, we went early and grabbed a spot right in front of the bar. The Saint Shack is located on the street level and because of that, I was approached by someone asking for cash even before I got inside the bar. That happens way too often near the Fieldhouse anymore. Inside, even after just opening, the music was thumping loudly which I guess is okay if you are here to mingle and like the music style, but if you are there to grab a bite to eat and talk with friends, it becomes a bit more difficult. The volume caused the bar tenders to shout loudly which was distracting while my wife and I ate. One of the bar tenders has a very shrill and piercing laugh that was off putting to hear throughout our meal. I'd say the frozen slushies were the most appealing part of our experience. No waiting to be served at the bar. The hostess got them for us and even took our food order, so we rarely saw any wait staff throughout the meal, though our food made it to our table in relatively little time. Don't expect a glass of water ;with your meal or follow up attention. Fortunately, the food is served in boxes you can use for "to go". It did okay for a bar, but service wasn't quite at restaurant level. My wife enjoyed her Indy dog, but passed on the jalapenos. I ordered a regular corn dog after my attempt to order an andoullie corndog failed. I also placed an order for tots (crispy and plentiful. Finally, I ordered Boudin Balls (4 per order). These were coated with crispy crumbs and served with a spicy brown mustard to add a bit of heat flavor. Since these meatballs are made with crumbs inside to help keep the sausage from becoming tough and binding, they tend to break apart quite easily which made dipping them a little messy. One of the things I failed to find was a way from the restaurant area down to the bar in the basement without having to go outside to the front of the bar. Seems the mgmt should have addressed this during he build out. If here is a way downstairs, it definitely needs better marking for patrons to find. I understand that these may be two separate bars, but are decorated like they are one. JUust a little more confusion. Well, if you are a fan of frozen/slushie type cocktails, swing by here and give them a try. We really enjoyed the ones we tied. Review #3954 read more

I absolutely this place! The staff is always so friendly! Also, the honey jack lemonade is the best! If you're interested in trying out a new place. This one will not disappoint you. Also the cheese fries are delicious! read more

If you're looking for a great and filling hotdog, they definitely have your back. I ordered a Chicago dog and the loaded fries. I should have gotten something smaller because they give you a lot of fries and I couldn't eat all of them. I would definitely need someone else to share them with. My order was a Doordash order and they had it ready to go quickly. The drinks looks good and will have to travel inside and see what they're really about. I also thought the chili could have been a bit better tasting. read more

This place has a vibe of early '00 college bar in the big sleezy. Hot dogs are good and the Shlushie bar makes it easier to make terrible life decisions later in the evening. Why at this very moment I am think about taking my lime scooter and doing some sick jumps with it. Maybe it's the slushy, maybe it's the Prince music blaring in my ear that they are currently playing. You decide. Either way this place effs, it effs so hard...lay back and let it happen. read more

Been coming here since they opened and the shack dogs are fire when you've been drinking and out for the night. Hits the right spot when you have a craving. read more

I'm embarrassed to be making a complaint. If you want dissatisfaction i would highly recommend this establishment. The other night i decided to patron this place for the first time. I ordered a loaded fry ( disgusting ). The grease needed to be changed. I was displeased. I went to speak with the sassy guy in a green Derrick rose jersey, just to explain. I didn't care for the fries. He then catches an attitude, i sit my fry down and he then says "can you move this. We have a lot going on and there are more people in front of you and you're at the bottom". What type of customer service is that?!?!?! The only good thing about this place is the ambiance. read more

This place is okay. The frozen drinks are good and strong. It's a weird little awkward place. If you don't know people you feel a little out of place. read more

Saint Shack has an awesome selection of hotdogs. Try the Indy dog with peanut butter and bacon... it's delicious! They have a huge selection of alcoholic slushies too. This place is owned by the same people that own the nightclub downstairs. Great place to eat drink and be merry! read more

Avoid this hole in the wall if professionalism and good service are what you're looking for. I have frequented here before with no issue but this weekend was my last. After ordering 2 drinks for me and my GF we casually walked away from the bar and enjoyed the music. When we finished our drinks we decided to close out and not order any more drinks. When I approached the bar I asked the bartender to close me out. He proceeded to tell me that he gave me back my card. I knew he had not so I asked him to check again. He again said he was sure he had given me my card back. Although I knew he hadn't I gave him the benefit of the doubt and told him I would go back to the area at the bar I ordered and see if I may have dropped it or misplaced it. I went back to that area, even asking a few people if they saw a cc on the bar. No one had seen a card. So I went back over to the bar tender and asked if he could check one more time. He came back and handed me someone else's card. I kindly let him know that the card he gave me wasn't mine. He then got frustrated and told me that he was 100% sure he gave it back to me. I assured him he hadn't and we were getting no where. I finally said, ok, I'll just cancel my card and I'm sure it will turn up so I'll call back. My GF wanted to finish her drink so we hung around for a few more minutes. Before we could leave, he saw me and said he had my card. Again, it was someone else's card and not mine. Again, I let him know that it was not my card. For some reason, he got upset WITH ME, because he gave me the wrong card. I was about to leave when he got my attention and said hey, here is your card. I must have misplaced it. No apology, no, "hey my bad", NOTHING. He didn't even give me the receipt to sign or anything!! I thanked him for my card but I was visibly upset by this time. So as my GF and I were standing there and I was explaining to her all the drama, this girl who was sitting by the bar comes up to me and says, why don't you tip? You must be broke...and walks back over to sit next to the bar/bartender. I was in shock like, who is this girl, and thought she was about the most ignorant person at the moment. I was going to curse her out and my GF said let me handle it. They proceeded to talk for about 15 minutes where she told me GF that I must be broke because I didn't tip, and I should leave because I didn't leave a tip, yada yada yada. The ignorance this girl had was excellent. And she told my GF that she didn't work there yet somehow knew I didn't tip. The fact of the matter is that I had to argue for my card that was misplaced for almost an hour, never even received a receipt TO TIP, and even if I chose not to tip, that is my option. At a minimum, I tip 20% EVERYWHERE I go. To be spoken to by this entitled little girl, about a situation she knew nothing about, was absurd. The same bartender eventually came over and asked me and GF to leave. I wasn't given a reason why but being asked to leave after being the one to go through this showed me just what kind of establishment this is. The food is not that good anyway. Just a spot that is probably the only think open at that hour. I was as patient as anyone could be in that situation and to be treated like that was a terrible feeling. I would not recommend going to this spot to spend your money where you're not wanted. read more

I came downtown for a concert and didn't check when they were open. Opened the door at 3:30 for me even thought they didn't open till 4:00 Steve was the bartender and he was amazing! He recommended a lot of great choices and gave samples of a few of them. Tried a shot of what they recommended (rumplemintz) first time trying and very good. Tried some of their frozen drinks and they were amazing!! . I will definitely be back. Kudos to Steve and the staff. read more

The bartender got mad I spoke Spanish and kicked me out. It was an odd emotion, I will recommend my Latino, people of color, and Allie's to not come here read more

Very cool vibe. It was Bingo Night and the most hilarious ladies led the night. I ordered crinkle cut fries and a chili cheese dog with extra cheese. Good mild southern chili. read more

They have great slushees! And their hot dogs are out of this world. Also recommend getting the tater tots

I could not love these people more than I already do! What a great group of humans with an amazing hot dog & we're all too lucky to have them in our lives. Eat here! Don't delay or you'll regret it. read more

I dislike this place and the downstairs bar they try to hard to be something they are not and it represents NOTHING about NOLA...

The slushies here are so fun and delicious! I love the vibe in here as well! It made a great backdrop for me and a friend to get some great photos! read more

Decent chili cheese dog cant complain. No soggy bun as well so good job. I will get a dog here over sonic any day.

I've had a great experience here all the years I've lived in Indiana coming to patron Saint and then they opened up the Saint shack and jordin has been my saving grace. Her alcoholic slushee recommendations have been nothing but on point! Please go see her and enjoy your time with the rest of the crew. read more

I really hate to be this kind of person because I really don't make a fuss about dissatisfaction at a place. I work food service so I totally understand that most complaints are dumb. Anyways I visited this bar during a pedal bar tour, the driver recommended this place because of its really good alcoholic slushies. We go, I get a single small slushie. It's probably 10 dollars with the discount from the partnership with the pedal bar. The drink is great, service was fast, and I specifically remember tipping a dollar to round it out to $11.32, we leave to go back to the pedal bar. I really liked the place, I was telling friends about it too all that week. I checked my bank statement this week to find that either a bartender or some huge computer error made my bill 20 dollars more than what it was. Again as someone who works in food service I'm not trying to throw people under the bus, I'm happy to assume it's a rounding error, but I've tried calling this place like 10 times in the past two days without an answer. This is probably the only way to get ahold of the place without directly going there. I loved the place, the product, and the people- but I really don't appreciate someone adding to the tip and being impossible to reach. Would love to hear back from management , otherwise a great visit. read more

Went here about 1 am... great drinks as far as the slushy machines go. However their bartenders were both high off some type of drug, it was VERY apparent and embarrassing... spoke to like 6 other people and they all agreed anyone could notice it. At one point they took my friends order which was drinks for $30 bucks the bartender (which was high off something) took the $100 dollar bill and kept it all for himself and brought $0 in change back.... We then went to ask him about it and he started flipping out on us in a very maniac manner and even had 2 of his fellow "employees" gang up on us... they told us to "get out immediately" it was a girl with braces and a guy that was working in the back with a wife beater on, he came out and acted like he was going to beat us up.... I will NEVER return to this establishment and I seriously hope no one else ever does either. I will be doing everything in my power to see to it that this place doesn't do this to anyone again. No one deserves this type of treatment when only seeking food and drinks at a late night I can't believe it. read more
