Today for lunch I decided to do something a little different. I typically don't have long for lunch…read moreso most times I'm discouraged to get a good home cooked type of meal. I took a chance... let me say, I'm so happy I did. I have heard many great things about this sports lounge & the food that they offer. They are perfectly nestled into a highly trafficked strip off of Georgetown rd & it's welcoming for "regular lunchtime attire" even though as soon as I stepped in, I felt underdressed (in a good way) the place is VERY clean & fully equipped for both day and night time crowds. Parking is all shared with the neighboring stores/businesses but it is very large so no qualms about finding a good spot. I was surprised to have placed a food order for myself and my daughter around 12:45pm and my food was bagged and ready to go by 1:15pm - while I waited, I did partake in an alcohol slushy which was so delicious & well deserved haha. The kitchen staff that I came in contact with and the bartender (Jasmine, Ms. Gigi & Shamon (sp)) were all very sweet women and took their time answering all of my curious questions about the space as well as menu/drinks. Another fun fact I learned about this place is that it is BLACK OWNED!! The food quality was on point (no cheap ingredients) and it was still hot when I got home. Fried mushrooms are always a sports bar go to of mine & these lived up to my expectations, the catfish was juicy on the inside and perfectly fried on the outside- not one piece of the two large fillets were the seasonings compromised. My daughter LOVED her wings & we know how teenagers love chicken wings. She was also happy the red beans & rice weren't spicy like she's had in the past from other places. One last thing I'd like to mention is that I usually am annoyed that my to-go order didn't include proper utensils or sauces requested.... They did not shy away from giving me ample sauces & napkins (they were thick too)! All in all, AllStars gets 5 stars from me! I can't wait to go back but the next review for them will be of the nightlife, which I've seen people rave about on IG and I fear I have been missing out.

The night started great until we ordered food & drinks. The first thing was my friend ordered the lamb chop dinner and although she asked for WELL DONE it was red in the middle and her baked potato was hard as a brick and old. She thought it was mold on it but it was a lot of black spots. Then, They charged one friend $27 for a drink she did not order. They told my friend she had 2 drinks when she only had 1 drink. The manager (tall big bald head black man) came over and threw a $20 bill at her and told her she "not allowed to order shit else". My other friend ordered lamb chops and it took almost 2 hours for her to get her food. When she complained about it she found herself arguing with the server. Instead of the server apologizing and asking to make it right, she's arguing about who ordered first between all of us. Then my other friend ordered a catfish dinner TO GO. By now, it's 3.5 hours later and we all about to leave, her catfish dinner had not came out yet. When she asked about it to the female manager waved her hand at her & walked away as if she was lying. But in fact the server said she never put it in, I guess she had forgotten? Then last but not least I asked for some water before we left. The bartender said the manager said not to serve "us". I said, "No! He said her" (pointing to my friend). The bartender replied "no the whole table". WOW! It's 7 of us here and we all brought drinks & food, spent at least $350 and I can't get any water?! THATS CRAZY!!! But this what we get for trying to support our own kind (black people). Never again!!! I mean the drinks were good, the food was mid but the service is terrible!!! I was literally denied a cup of water after spending over $300 because they lied about my friend buying 2 drinks & didn't want to take it off our tab. We all work at the post office and we work hard for our money. We would not lie about a drink or an undercooked, spoiled dinner!! And although we make good money, we will not sit & pay $27 for a damn drink we did not order!!!!

I came for a car event but since it was during dinnertime, I needed something to get me by. For $5, you can get 4 perfectly cooked wings and fries. Just what I was looking for as I did not want a large number of wings. I had to wait for 20 minutes because we came in after the kitchen had closed for a short break but the server promised me that she would come find me when the kitchen re-opened. She was true to her word and came to take my order. I appreciate service like this. Wings are a solid 5 out of 5. Cooked perfectly golden and through. No undercooked spots and were decently sized too for the bonus. I did not expect the wings to be that good. You can get them cooked plain as I did or tossed in a sauce of your choice. What caught my eye was the various food selections on the menu. I will have to come back to some other items and see if they hold up to the wings. The bar is well stocked with spirits from the typical well options to some pricey spirits that you will not find at the usual sports bars. Chris, the owner is willing to help and answer questions. Emily made sure we were well taken of throughout our time at Nzone. They also had a DJ upfront that was high energy and tucked on the wall not too far from him is an arcade game.

The restaurant was busy, and became even busier as we were dinning. There were only two servers for the entire restaurant. We waited quite a while for our order to be taken. We actually saw three different tables get up and leave the restaurant because no one came to take their order. The table next to us waited a while as well. When the server finally came to their table, she said, " I'll get to you when I can." We had a different server from the table next to us. Our server got our order wrong and our bill was incorrect. The restaurant has around 13 TVs, making it a great place to watch sporting events. As mentioned this was Sunday after the INDY 500. Being broadcast while we were at Gatsby was the replay of the Indy 500, the NASCAR race, the Pacers pre-game for the eastern finals. Gatsby had the Indy 500 on one TV. NASCAR and the Pacers were not shown at all. What was shown? The same UFL game was on five TVs, women's softball, happy TV network, 60 minutes, and two TVs that scrolled advertisement for bar poker. I've nothing against UFL and women's softball. But this is Indianapolis and it's the day of the 500 in the Pacers! There were also several individuals in the restaurant with Kyle Larson shirts. I know they would've been interested in the NASCAR race since Kyle ran both the 500 and made it in time to Charlotte for nascar. Sadly, it appears management of Gatsby missed the mark tonight on a couple of items. First, they underestimated the crowd on a holiday weekend and misjudged the number of servers that they needed in the restaurant. There is a hotel right next-door to Gatsby's. We saw several groups of individuals entering the hotel, coming from the race. We also saw several groups walking from the hotel to Gatsby's for dinner. Management misunderstanding the impact of the race on their business is one thing. Another is the apparent lack of comprehension of a large group of out-of-town visitors at a hotel next-door. Second, management did not appear to be cognizant of the local sporting events and the concept of what patrons may want to watch on a sports filled weekend at a sports pub. As mentioned Gatsby's is our favorite place for pizza and fried mushrooms. We will definitely return for those items and give them another try. This visit just sadly disappointed with regards to the customer service and customer awareness aspect. And was not a good representation of what Indianapolis has to offer for out of town visitors.

Dined here with my wife once and did carryout once. Here are my observations:…read more Service: -waitress on our visit was personable and attentive -carryout order was ready when I arrived and checkout was smooth -on both occasions, all items were received as ordered Ambiance: -you have to navigate some steep steps after you enter the door to reach the place, so could be a challenge for some -interior is dark, which when the sun peers through the windows it can be a challenging contrast on the eye -walls are filled with various decoration. appreciate the Chicago-vibe, but it's a little busy visually Food: (Visit #1) -not a lot of options for non-meat eaters (which my wife is) -we split the Spicy Cheese Curds ($11), which I believe were simply fried pepper jack cheese cubes (a generous portion) that came with a side of ranch. It had a kick, so it was what it said it would be. -we also split a Cheese Pizza ($17) on their regular crust. the cheese was generously applied, sauce was OK, the crust was subpar and not something we would order again (Visit #2) -Bavarian Pretzel Sticks ($12) come as an order of 4 lightly salted sticks with sides of nacho cheese and honey mustard. The sticks are among the better pretzel offerings I have had. Not the best (that would be 101 craft kitchen and Red Front), but definitely better than average. -Da Beef ($14) was a nice portion of beef. Because I was doing carryout, I got the sauce on the side. -the sandwich came with a side of their in house chips, which I really liked. they aren't seasoned if that's your thing, but I simply appreciate a fresh made potato chip and they were that Overall, if you like meat, it's probably on their menu and I'm guessing will scratch your itch. If you're not a meat-eater, it probably won't appeal. If stairs aren't your thing, it could be a dealbreaker unless there's another route I don't know of.

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.

Business was quite brisk and the quality of the fare made it evident why that was. Parking is a little tricky but not too bad to navigate. There is some street parking but one of the pay surface lots or garages is probably the best bet. We spent $8.26 for two hours ($7 + fee) to park in the lot in front of the Bottleworks. It was a 3-minute walk. We were seated right away when we walked in. We were perhaps a little fortunate as I think next time I'd make a reservation. The one thing that was off-putting was the fact that they put a time limit on our meal. I thought I heard 90 minutes and my colleague thought 2 hours. We were not planning to be there any longer than that, but we all three thought that to be a negative. I understand why they do that, but they should re-think their approach to that policy. We chose to sit outside as it was a very nice evening. Their patio was nicely arranged and was a rather pleasant spot for a meal. Our server, Apple, did a good job taking care of us. The menu featured some excellent Thai and Southeast Asian choices. We started with the Spring Rolls which were wonderfully crispy and tasted very good. My colleagues had the Steak Drunken Noodles and the Chili Basil Pork and both returned good reports. I had the Penang Curry Chicken and was extremely happy with that. The spice level was perfect and it was quite tasty. Our final bill with food, drink, tax and tip was $101. At just under $34 per person, we were quite happy with the value. I'll look forward to returning.

Just wonderful! Shrimp cocktail - Of course we had to try this! The large shrimps were hiding under a mound of freshly grated horseradish and tomato paste to make a spicy, eye watering cocktail sauce. Iconic indeed! The main came with "bean soup" which sounded not great, but it was surprisingly good. It had chunks of ham and carrots and tasted more like split pea soup. The main also came with a side - we opted for the loaded baked potato and it was perfectly cooked. Nothing like a great baked potato with sour cream, cheese, and bacon! Filet mignon - We got the 8oz (medium rare) and the kitchen split it in half for us. I also got it Oscar Style, which included lump crab, asparagus, and béarnaise sauce (lovely butter sauce!) Service (5/5): David was an amazing server. Tux laden and professional to the core. The other servers did not let an empty plate sit on the table for more than a few seconds after we finished. I wish that every server was as kind and professional as David. Ambiance (5/5): 1920's crooners singing filled the dark wood intimate spaces. It's a classic steakhouse!

There I was, attempting to get readjusted after a very a intense week. Approaching the establishment I encountered two Indianapolis Police officers who stopped me at the door and explained to me that there was a situation arising between the owner of the establishment and a former employee. This has nothing to do with their menu or service however, after listening to how the owner speak to this young women was completely inappropriate, unprofessional, so off-putting I could never imagine giving this establishment a single dollar. To leave out inappropriate specifics I overheard the owner of this establishment say to this kid that "she was sorry for her childhood along with an insult that the employee had a mental disorder" I overhead the entire exchange while standing there just wanting a cold one and can't imagine ever going back. I witnessed first hand this former employee simply as for her 'check' I guess over and over again and this woman attempting to provoke her while insulting her. Obviously there is always two sides to any story, I can only tell of my experience as it relates to me but from what I witnessed just trying to get off work for the week and relax This is not the place to go. Sad, I really wanted to like this place however I CAN NOT support a BULLY like that.

Old clientele is gone, old time hometown atmosphere is gone, pretty disappointing. We made a mistake, but not again.

This review is solely based on a takeout experience. This is my second time ordering wings from The…read moreFriendly Tavern and gosh, if you are a fan of wings, this is the place!! I order of The Friendly wings and just for me and it lasted me three meals! Crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside and the sauces were perfection! You can get them on the side or order them cooked in the sauce. I tried the honey apple bbq one and Buffalo and both were so good. There was a bit of a wait and I think there always is because this place is so popular! It was packed inside. The friendly bit really stands out as three separate wait staff came to check if I've been helped while waiting for my pickup order. Despite it being packed to the walls which I'm sure is stressful for staff, everyone was so calm (at least outwardly!) and kind which really made me want to come back. I definitely want to try their apple dumpling next!

Never having eaten here, this location was picked from Yelp…read more We have Southside friends. We trade sides of town for a monthly lunch or dinner No one knew where to go so I took the reins. What a great place, busy but not too busy to say hello as we walked in. Our friends were already seated and our waitress was asking us for a drink order as soon as we sat down. Yea The place was packed with all kinds of people, construction workers, business people everyone was polite and welcoming from staff to customers The place doesn't look real great on the outside but the minute you walk in you know you are in the right place. Old pictures, old stuff everywhere you could spend a day just looking at Indianapolis in the past. The food was served hot and delicious. I had a 1/4 pound chili dog, my husband had a double burger patties were fresh and big. My friend had steak tips, tuff but sauce served in was delicious and lastly my friend had a tenderloin and slaw. The slaw look like a dinner salad it was so big. We talked for over 2 hours and were never interrupted. Would I go back, you betcha

It's a no frills gathering spot for good food and drinks. Our waitress was quite good - keeping us quenched with drink refills. I got the Hoosier Sandwich - a hand-cut breaded pork tenderloin - a thick, juicy tenderloin served with pickles, tomatoes, onions, mayo and lettuce - it was very juicy and tasty. Actually 4 of the 6 of us got this sandwich and everyone was pleased. FYI, it's located south of downtown on South Meridian and offers an attached parking lot for convenient parking. Give it a try.
