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.

Love Handle is in the best neighborhood right on Mass Ave! It's super close to amazing shopping,…read moreand the vibe inside is vintage diner with an artsy twist. The food just needed a little fine-tuning to really shine. The catfish seemed to have a beer-battered coating that felt a little soft and held onto some extra moisture instead of having that classic light crunch. I would love a bit more flavor baked right into the waffle and biscuit dough--though the gravy flavor was definitely a win! Also, the grits lean heavy into jalapeno notes rather than a creamy, cheesy base. It's such a cute venue with great energy, and a few little kitchen adjustments could make it amazing!

Went to Cafe Patachou yesterday morning and had one of the best breakfasts of my trip!…read more The avocado toast was warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly seedy with just the right balance of crunchy and soft, and they were generous with the avocado. I especially loved the radish and pickled onions on top. Such a simple breakfast, but every bite was so good. And then there was the pistachio iced latte. YUM. I added whipped cream, which really took it to the next level. Honestly, I'm kind of glad I only discovered this place on the last day of my trip because if I had found it earlier, I probably would have had four of those lattes. Great breakfast, great coffee, and now I'm wishing I had one more morning in town!

I have no idea if there is a market segment that can be described as "fancy Denny's". Walking into…read morethis clean, bright place I knew it was a chain (there is something just a bit sterile about these places) so I know that consistency would abide. I got a Portuguese Skillet, the wife got her normal scrambled eggs well done, sausage, potatoes and toast. My skillet (hash browns, Chouriçoa sausage, scrambled egg, chopped peppers) came with an option of pancakes, they were good but I could have skipped them- that Skillet is filling! Everything was prepared well, came out pretty quickly. Our server, Ruth, was polite and effective. She engaged at just the right amount to make us feel welcome, without hovering. It's not inexpensive, but I do think fairly priced for today's economics, we spent $40-ish. If we lived near one of these would likely come in from time to time.

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Not overly sweet. Just perfect.

Our server was friendly and efficient in taking our orders, bringing drinks, and bringing food. The menu had typical pancakes, eggs, and sides but many had a southwestern theme including carne asada, chorizo, peppers, etc. I had the biscuits with turkey gravy. These were the BEST biscuits I've ever had at a restaurant. Oh my!!! So flaky and buttery and the gravy was rich and peppery. You couldn't tell that this wasn't sausage gravy. Everyone's food was delicious and beautifully presented. Prices were very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend that you try First Watch if you are in downtown Indy.

She brought my food but didn't come back and see if I needed anything (hot sauce, additional napkins, more coffee) or ask if my order was correct.

The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!

I also got a side of egg whites, but they were cooked in that butter spray and didn't taste fresh. The cheesy grits were OK but not very flavorful.

Perfect amount of spices and heat. I would like to come back and try the vegan nachos. The restaurant is designed like a diner. Nice atmosphere. Throwback music.

Though some of the ingredients aren't top notch, for the price, I felt it was very reasonable and it was good. It's hard to mess up what I had and they presented well. I'd recommend this location.
