    Breakfast sandwich with eggs and pesto and veggiea
    Stacie B.

    Love their smoothies! Love that they have a drive thru as well as place to sit down inside, as for a healthy option this is new. My husband is a fan of their sandwiches and they have lots of breakfast options as well. We have loved this addition to the neighborhood and try to go often. Definitely recommend it if you have t tried it yet!

    BAHAMA MAMA- with protein THAI CHICKEN salad

    Happy National smoothie day! I got the bahama mama smoothie with protein added and it's delicious, the flavor is yum and the texture is so smooth even with the added protein. Great curbside service and order ahead via their app!!

    I ordered the detox island green smoothie and it was delicious! It tasted really green, so if you're not a fan of kale -- be advised LOL. My kale hating partner did not enjoy it at all. He ordered the açaí berry smoothie and it was so sweet and yummy! The smoothie itself is pretty big, and at $7 a piece, it's a really great price for how much you get. We also ordered the hummus veggie wrap. I'm really not sure how I felt about it, it was good enough to finish eating but I won't order it again.

    Kiwi Quencher
    Staci W.

    We decided to come here for a light lunch. I had the Smoky Grilled Cheese that has mozzarella, bacon, tomato on it- it was tasty and hot. I also got the Kiwi Quencher smoothie which was light and tasty. If you order a food item it does take some money off of the smoothie and you do get a side- I got some baked lays. I can see myself coming back again and again to get some light lunch items and smoothies. So why 4 stars- I tried coming here when they opened up and go through the drive thru but no one ever came on the speaker and the line didn't move for about 5 minutes. On this trip I did say I wanted a different sandwich and they must have pressed the wrong thing but the mix up was fine in the end.

    I was anxiously awaiting this location to open and it did not disappoint. The staff were super friendly. I had the detox island green smoothie. It was refreshing and good overall, but I don't know if I'd order that flavor again. Even with the sweetness of the fruit, it was still a little too much green flavor for me. I don't know if there's different sizes or not but it was A LOT of smoothie. The peanut butter crunch banana flatbread was good as well.

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.

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 ordered the Caesar broccolini and the Burrata for our appetizers. The portions were plenty for 2 to 3 people. Both appetizers were good. We ordered the lamb Ragu and the half chicken for our meals. Neither one of us typically orders a pasta dish, but the server recommended it and it did not disappoint! The half chicken was incredible. My friend even said "this is the best chicken I've ever had in my life". I would order both of these dishes again! We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

    **Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.

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!
