    I love a good breakfasts diner. This place is your casual homemade breakfast food. Nothing super fancy but just pure comfort food. Every time I've come here the food has been excellent. The service is always so friendly and quick. I came in for a quick breakfast and man are they fast! In and out within 30 minutes it was great. I'm sure they're more busy on the weekends as this was a weekday but it's just a chill casual environment with great food.

    Check out all the homemade treats available for purchase to take home!

    Breakfast for lunch? Yes please! I forgot my lunch at home and decided to stop in to Uptown Café for a little afternoon breakfast treat to get me through the workday. I was able to walk right in and get a table with no wait at about 12:15PM. The server greeted me before I even had my coat off and took my drink order before I was seated. I've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed by anything that comes out of their kitchen. I opted to keep it simple today with their Breakfast Combo 3. 2 crispy slices of bacon, 2 perfectly fried over medium eggs, and an indulgent side of their housemade strawberry jam that paired wonderfully with two slices of their housemade sourdough. Having an hour for lunch, I was able to walk to their location, find a seat, order, be served, and peacefully enjoy my breakfast-for-lunch with plenty of time to get back to my office. Uptown Café maintains the charm of a classic no-frills diner while bestowing upon us the delectable culinary talents and craftsmanship of total pros in their kitchen. Their copious assortment of homemade treats and condiments available for sale allow you to take home a little piece of heaven. Their hot sauce and their strawberry jam are completely phenomenal!

    Ate breakfast for first time in nobesville location . Everything was delicious and fresh. The strawberry jam and bacons was one of the best I ever had . Definitely go back again . The waiter was so sweet and attentive .

    Autumn G. Was an amazing waitress. The homemade toast hit the spot along with the homemade jam. The Western Omelette with Hash Browns and 2 nice sized Pancakes. Friendly service and always coming to be sure we're enjoying our meal and dinner. Forgot to get photos of delicious food.

    Over cooked and dry meat quiche. threw it out.

    Stopped here for the first time to get some brunch takeout and ordered biscuits and gravy, side of bacon and the meat quiche. Biscuits and gravy were not bad, bacon was crispy as I like it but was really disappointed in the quiche. Overcooked and dry and could not eat it, just had to throw it out. Should have looked at other pictures posted on yelp since one of them looked the same over cooked and dry.

    I had to take a meeting here (virtual). They gave me the space for my meeting and then left me be until I was done. When I wash finished. They came and took my order. The food was amazing and everyone was so kind. I will absolutely be back.

    This is a nice little cafe for grabbing some breakfast or brunch. We went here to try something new for lunch one day and i felt like ordering some breakfast food. The interior is very bright and warm with a cool mural on one side. The chairs are basic wooden and there many windows to view the trees that surround the building. There could be a little more art or decorations on the wall when you immediately enter. For food, I chose a breakfast sandwich with a fruit cup for a side. I am usually fairly hungry at lunch time so I should have gone with something else as the sandwich did not fill me up. It did taste good and the fruit seemed fresh with a good variety. I was envious of my friend's breakfast bowl which would have been a better choice for me. The prices were just a bit high as my sandwich and fruit were $11.00. I wouldn't mind if there was a bit more food but bread, bacon, cheese and eggs shouldn't be that much. The service was good and he was very attentive. We also came for an early lunch at around 11am so it was not crowded yet. Nice place though and I would come back to try one of the breakfast bowls for sure.

    Wanted something for lunch that wasn't a burger place. Decide to give Uptown a try. Service was good and quick. Food didn't wow us was just good. We had the quiche with side salad and Philly sandwich.

    My family of four came here on Monday 10/10 to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She'd already had a dinner party the previous Saturday, but I thought it would be nice to do something on the actual day of her birthday. I chose this restaurant due to the variety of the menu and because it was local (we just moved to the area). Upon arriving, I realized that Uptown Cafe is in the same location as a diner/cafe that I'd previously been a regular at when I used to work in the area. I got excited because the food there used to be really good. Unfortunately, I do not believe the two businesses to be in any way related. The birthday girl ordered the eggs benedict and it was made with ham, not Canadian bacon. That was a bit disappointing. I'm not sure if it was described as such on the menu and my daughter just missed it, but she was surprised. My younger daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. It arrived with the gravy on the side and, in our experience, that is never a good sign! She said it was just okay and the gravy lacked flavor. My fiance ordered a breakfast combo and had no complaints, but he's pretty easy to please. I ordered the breakfast club croissant sandwich (probably not the correct name) and that thing was massive. There was so much meat and veg on the soft, buttery croissant, that it basically collapsed under the weight of all the ingredients. It had no structural integrity, but it was yummy. I also ordered a side salad instead of chips. I was thoroughly displeased that it was made using iceberg lettuce. It literally has no nutritional value. It sort of defeats the purpose of ordering a salad. The staff was nice, but they closed at 2pm and we arrived after 1, so it was made pretty clear that they were trying to get us up out of there so they could close up. I doubt that we'll return.

The BBQ poutine fries were so big on the tray that I felt a little ostentatious as I was carrying the tray back to my table. It felt like all of the food on my tray surely should have been going to a family. But no: All of these BBQ poutine fries were just for one gluttonous person (me). Every so often, I would get an enormous fry that was way bigger than the others. It was more like a steak fry! It was like a little baked potato. It was nice to have that variety in the appetizer (which I was treating like an entree because, again, I was eating this giant appetizer by myself without shame). One of my children opted to get the kids meal here, which is the mac & cheese with a side (he chose fries). The mac & cheese is cavatappi pasta, so it's that pleasing curly texture that kids love (my kid loved it). The Den by FoxGardin is located inside Sun King Food Hall, and it's one of the food options you have here. If you are looking for pub food, comfort food, or just plain good food, you can't go wrong with this place.

We sat at a high top table in the bar. Our server, Bailey (the bartender), was friendly and super attentive. She made recommendations and kept glasses filled. The craft beer selection is excellent with about 16 local options on tap. My husband had a Fall City "Hipster Repellent". The name alone is interesting, but he loved his beer. I had the Espresso Martini which came with roasted coffee beans floating on top. My cocktail went down easy. I also had a glass of the Berringer Chardonnay. The pour is generous. We shared a plate of Loaded Tots, which was wonderful. The tots are made from scratch in-house and covered with roasted bits of pork belly, cheese, a sauce and green onions. We LOVED the tots, which came out super hot. We also shared a plate of the Loaded Hummus. The plate is beautiful and colorful. The hummus is fresh made and loaded with bits of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and is delicious on a balsamic reduction. The hummus is served with a generous portion of fresh in-house made focaccia bread which tasted amazing. The Loaded Hummus is a winner in my book. Bailey our server was fabulous. She worked the entire bar and was an ambassador of the chef and menu. I wish we had time to stay for dinner because the food is outstanding. Each dish that we saw pass by looked delicious and artistic. I highly recommend. We will be returning for dinner soon. Easy 5 stars! We found street parking, but parking was limited.

We watch our calories and so kids meals work best. You get a protein and choice of two sides. We get green beans and fruit. And it also comes with a cookie. The food is pretty good. It does not always come the same and what I mean by that is sometimes the green beans will have no seasoning at all and then sometimes they will. Of course I prefer the seasoning but if none, I just quickly season them myself. I do hope to visit soon and eat inside the restaurant and will leave another review.

I got it with chicken, which tasted good. The sauce was fine. - The hot honey chicken tenders were crispy, but lacked flavor. - The CBR chicken sandwich was good. Crispy and good size. - Do not order the side mac n cheese. $6 for some Stouffer's mac n cheese topped with the pimento cheese dip (that's basically nacho cheese dip). Overall, if someone asked to meet here for a meal I would request another restaurant but I'd still eat here if they insisted.

    As an esteemed enjoyer of delicious vittles, I feel like it's my job to pay attention to the food…read moreworld in general, and central Indiana's food scene in particular. A while back, I learned that Tom Main, the owner of Freeland's, was nominated for a James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur. Well! That's all I needed to read, and I put Freeland's on my list of must-visit restaurants. Freeland's isn't a fancy joint, but it's also not not-fancy. Vibes were telling me that it felt like the kind of place where you want to put on a clean shirt, and so I got it into my head that Freeland's should be saved for a day when I felt like changing out of my yoga pants. So I visited on an anniversary. Pro tip: When you make a reservation online (and you should definitely make a reservation), tell them whether you're visiting for a birthday, anniversary, retirement, etc. They will make your dining experience incredibly special. We were greeted at our table with a celebratory sparkling wine toast (in shot glasses), and a complimentary scoop of fruit sorbet to end our meal. This was totally unexpected and was a nice touch, and spoke volumes about the service at Freeland's. Honestly, I don't know what to rave about first: the service or the food. But since I mentioned the service, I'll go ahead and just say that Freeland's has some of the best service I've experienced in Indiana. I felt like I was in the middle of a carefully orchestrated play, with people coming in and out to give me new silverware, refresh my water glass before I knew I needed more water, and whisk my empty plates away as soon as I was done with them. At one point, I was transfixed by watching the staff maneuver and dance around each other in the dining room with purpose and grace. It was a sight to behold. I love efficiency! I love moving with purpose! They do that here, all for you. One hundred percent, you should order the carrot appetizer. It's just called "Carrots" on the menu, which is an understatement. These are perfectly cooked warm carrots glazed in a Szechuan sauce, sitting on top of a creamy edamame hummus, drizzled with oil and sprinkled with everything-bagel spice. One order is plenty for two or three people to share, but I could see myself coming back and just hoarding an entire carrots plate all to myself, with a glass of wine, at the bar. For the main dishes, the Sakura Farm Pork Belly was ordered (kimchi, black forbidden rice, duck egg), which was so juicy and tender. I got the Loch D' Art Salmon, which is cooked medium, unless you tell them otherwise (but medium is perfect, so don't tell them otherwise), and comes with Carolina gold grits, broccolini, tomatoes, romesco sauce and harissa. Holy mackerel (I mean, salmon)! This was a perfect fish dish, and melted in my mouth. Every bite was amazing. It was just the right amount on the plate, too -- not too much, but also completely satisfying. They have some creative desserts on the menu. I didn't really want dessert, but we were given a dessert on the house, so how could I say no? The cherry sorbet was pure, icy cherries in a glass. So refreshing, and the perfect way to end the exquisite meal. Freeland's dining room is small, and when we visited, every table was full. Like I said, definitely make a reservation. But despite all of the people, and all of the people talking, it was never too loud. They have sound-diffusing panels in the ceiling to offset some of the noise, so I never felt like I had to shout across the table. They think about every detail here! This is one example of the care Freeland's puts into their dining experience, and it's not the only one. You are well-taken-care-of here.

We usually prefer to eat in the bar to avoid some of the crowds that fill the regular dining room areas, to check out any of the sporting scene that might be on one of their TVs, and the service typically seems pretty prompt. Mark S was very efficient for us today. Appreciate their happy hour offerings [Monday-Thursday 3:00-5:30] of half off appetizers and $3 off various beverages. Today we shared the Bru Fries (regularly $9), Soft Pretzels (regularly $12), and the Triple Dip (regularly $15). If you like your fries with a dark natural cut and a mix of crunchy and soft, these nail it. They come with House Ketchup (REALLY sweet), Black Pepper Mayo, House Chipotle BBQ Sauce and are a pretty decent value at half price. The pretzels are OK. I'm not convinced they are made in-house, but they're fine. They come as an order of 3 plump sticks with a beer cheese, which seems more like a basic nacho cheese, and a spicy mustard that is pretty good if you like mustard with just a little something extra. Not sure they're a must order for future visits, but they're not a horrible deal at $6. Might ask for the mustard with other menu items. The Triple Dip has long been our go-to, although they substituted our favorite option of the dips for a lesser option. It used to come with a goat cheese, which was awesome, but it has been replaced by a pimento cheese dip that is OK. It still includes solid dip options of hummus and guacamole with grilled naan bread and onion straws. I would trade the pimento cheese and onion straws to get the goat cheese back. Overall, still enjoy the environment, service and food and find the happy hour offerings to be a very good value. Just wish they would bring the goat cheese back and improve the flavor of their beer cheese option.
