Just experienced Wolfies for the first time today at lunch. It was amazing! I ordered the Pan Crusted ParmesanChicken accompanied with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was the days special for just $10! Food was outstanding, wait staff excellent and very attentive. Totally would recommend Wolfies Grill. Great food and perfect view of Gesit Reservoir. read more

The views make this place great! The deck is the place to sit. You can enjoy live music and beautiful Views of Geist. I enjoyed their appetizers the most. Wings or pretzel sticks have my vote! Enjoy! read more

didn't get food ordered waited 20 minutes to get food and would not recommend the waiters just looked at us and didn't ask for our order a kid walked into our booth would not recommend horrible service read more

Great time tonight, the chips and queso is great and they do bone in wings the right way!!!

My friend and I went for dinner and drinks. We got to sit in the screened in patio with a view of Geist (which is beautiful). Our server was very nice and offered suggestions. Our meal was delicious! The spicy margarita was amazing!! I had hoped for a bit more of a traditional mix but it was still delicious. The tacos were great!! Get the tacos everyone! The only bummer, their drink special on mixed cocktails did not apply to what I ordered which i wish would of been made more clear. Overall a great experience read more

Lovely to sit out on the deck near the water, but our service was terrible. We watched people who arrived after us get their food before we did. Our server said our food down and never checked on us again. The chicken salad was bland, and the wraps lacked some seasoning as well. read more

Great service and good food. Want to go back in the summer with deck open and live music!

I love this restaurant The view cant be beat. The menu has a great variety and the food is always top notch. Michael is our favorite server. My one complaint is they don't have mint to make mojitos. Many places in Indy serve them now (Red Robin for one) I'm sure they would sell lots of them!! read more

Wolfies is a breath of fresh air. Literally. Have you been on their patio? Their staff is welcoming, attentive and hospitable. The vibe is laid back and hunter chic. If you're into antler chandeliers, then this is your place. Come for the drinks, stay for the atmosphere. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Very busy on the weekends but the service was spot on! The people sitting at the table next to us had a burger and I can tell you it was definitely a frozen patty and not fresh ground beef. I had the tacos that were very tasty. read more

Experience was just okay overall. I'd be very hesitant to try again or even recommend to others. With being close to Geist/marina it's very convenient without having to bring your boat in for the day. Food was just okay, service wasn't what you'd expect. I'd go back but it was just disappointing Food 2.5/5 - the food overall wasn't bad. Wasn't hot and fresh, you could tell it had been sitting for a little bit. Ordered a side of creamed corn and there was a film on top of it from it being cooled for so long. Everything tasted good otherwise, just knocking off points for the temp issues Service 1.5/5 - the waitress was very slow on service. We came in on a very late lunch and she only had one other table in our area. The staffing wasn't an issue as there were enough waiters and management present that staff could actually stand around and even joke around in the kitchen/prep area. We ordered an appetizer and it came literally as we finished our entrees but she blamed it on no food runner and she forgot. Just didn't make sense since there were maybe 5 other tables besides us in the establishment. I'm all for recognizing great service amidst this labor shortage but you really can't blame it on the fact this is your first week back after being gone the last several months Environment 3/5 - cool decorations and great views! Some cleanliness issues as we saw a ton of cobwebs in the antler chandeliers and the moose heads on the wall. Otherwise it's pretty cool setup inside and as mentioned it's super convenient with us being out on Geist read more

We enjoy eating at Wolfies Grill. Parking lot is busy, but we always seem to find a spot. Food is good, plenty of options for the family and the services is great. Our Waitress Friday night was engaged and always available. Food came out quick. The wait can be fairly long to sit outside overlooking the reservoir but it's a beautiful location. We were sat inside within 10 minutes. Although we got right in, I felt like the hostess could have done a better job welcoming the guest. They appeared to be bothered at that moment. With a little work on the guest experience upon arrival and I think we would go back more often. read more

I had the tenderloin and my wife had a salad. She loved the salad and I thought the tenderloin was very good. The service was awesome. Wish I remembered the dude's name. He was exceptional. Tall guy with facial hair. You will know him if he waits on you. He is good. The tenderloin will give all the places in town a run for the money. Well fried, juicy, thick enough and fit on the bun pretty much. What else can you ask for, this is Indiana. We have had several salads there and all the ones we tried were very good. This place might make it on the lake Went back for lunch on August 14th . Order the fish tacos with fried not blackened fish but was told they can only do for a $6.00 upcharge. I was pretty hot and Jeff , my server, got the general manager who explained about not frying Tilapia so they had to do a large portion of cod and throw most away. I ask the GM to deep fry the Tilapia. He said in all his years in restaurant work he never did that but why not. They fried the Tilapia and the fish tacos were awesome. A good restaurant goes out of their way to please the customers. That is exactly what they did for me and I am very appreciative. Thanks to Jeff and the GM for a great lunch!!! read more

The best worries is the one on Morse. Everything else is maybe not worth the wait. If I could get in with regularity and great service, then maybe, but in general I quit trying to get in to wait for average food and expensive drinks. read more

So excited to visit Wolfies newest location, in the Geist marina. If you have ever visited Wolfies, you will already be familiar with the menu. Any new restaurant in this area will usually be busy and although we came on a Tuesday night, Wolfies was busy. We were told our wait was 40 minutes but ended up being less than 5. We were immediately welcomed by our sweet waitress Chloe and she took our drink orders. We looked at the menus and food arrived within 15 minutes. I enjoyed the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad. As always, delicious. The chicken is crispy, sweet mandarin oranges blend perfectly with the blue cheese. My husband had a chicken wrap that was southwest inspired. It was paired with chips and salsa. A light and fresh option, perfect for a hot day. Our son selected the Pan Seared Chicken. Served with mashed potatoes and broccoli, it's a hardy and delicious meal. The chicken is juicy and cooked to perfection. It's a signature dish and it's easy to see why. We are very pleased with our visit and happily surprised that we experienced such friendly, fast and accurate service at a newly opened restaurant that was very busy! We will see you again! read more

We went after boating with some friends. We called in advance because they had a 40 minute wait list. I was surprised at how busy Wolfies was in this pandemic. But they did separate tables and seemed to be clean. We sat outside on the deck. Sitting outside always feels a lot better with this pandemic. And they have a lot of seating outside. The food was good. As an FYI - it was crowded by the door. Lots of people standing around inside (because the bar is nearby) and outside. read more

I went on Sunday and got the buffalo chicken wrap.. the flavor was really good but there was no buffalo sauce on the wrap. I subbed the fries for the tortilla chips.. they were crunchy and good flavor.. they were not allowing any seating outside because of the rain but the view was still very pretty with all the boats read more

Been here several times but tonight broccoli was cold and I got a hard piece of broccoli couldn't try to eat it. Gave it to the waitress who then gave it to the manager . Manager said usually they don't serve that. Why serve it now . I hate excuses. Very disappointed. Annie our waitress was good. . Don't order broccoli read more

My husband,daughter (21) and I went Friday evening around 5:30 to have a beer on the bar deck and enjoy the evening looking out at the water. The waitress told us to check in with the hostess and she would seat us, there were plenty of tables all distanced from each other. We went to the hostess stand and were told they weren't seating in the bar deck. When I asked her why, the manger zoomed over and said "Because we aren't!" I was shocked, we were being very polite as was the hostess. I said to my husband "Someone is having a tough day" and the manager got right back in our faces and said we needed to sit down and wait. We told him they had just lost 3 customers. I don't understand why people work in people oriented businesses if they don't like people! Too bad, the view is very nice. read more

This place is great for happy hour, if for no other reason than the atmosphere on the deck or in the atrium. It's genuinely fun without being sloppy. You can get a good cocktail, beer, or wine and enjoy the views of the marina. It is not a great place for lunch. The food is just meh, at best. The first time I got fried chicken with gravy and mashed potatoes, and it just wrecked my system. The gravy was salty and the chicken was bland and greasy. The potatoes were basically paste, so hey, they make them in house! They just don't do it well. The next time I went I ordered a breaded tenderloin sandwich because we're in Indiana, and if you can't do a tenderloin right then what are you even doing with your life? So chef, what are you doing with your life? It was blackened, but not with flavor. With char. No one came back to ask how it was (a recurring theme there), so I just ate it. Finally, I went back (what was I thinking?) and got a bison burger. Finally, a meal that was pretty good. Except the broccoli that they expertly turned into green mush. In reality, I'll probably be back, and I probably won't be happy, but it's right down the street from work and the view on a nice day keeps sucking me in. read more

It's bad customer service you have 4 hostess at the front desk and two people are trying to enter pushing two wheelchairs and the 4 hostess continue to laugh and chat amongst themselves. The handicap parking was barely marked and probably a 2 inch lip to go up the ramp. Ask for a table for 8 and put a square table next to a round table for 5. That really doesn't work when there's two wheelchairs in the party. And the waiter (with his cap on backwards) hem haws around about us wanting a long table. Yes, there was one but not handicapped accessible. Why did the customer have to explain about pushing square tables together so a party of 8....with two wheelchairs could sit comfortably. It was very poor customer service. read more

My family and I were at this Wolfie's location on Sunday (10/18) after a very cold morning shooting family photos. We had two kids under 7 that were starving! What a WONDERFUL experience! Our server was friendly and attentive, they took COVID precautions seriously, and the kitchen was super quick! Super impressed and will definitely return! read more

Update to my review: as promised, I went back to give Wolfie's a 2nd try. I stuck to their signature items and was very happy with the Smokehouse burger. This time the bacon was crispy and the fries were slightly addictive. I wasn't wowed but I'll be back for sure. read more

Wolfies Grill - Geist - The Tilapia that got away. Missed the mark. - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

See all

This is my 5th time visiting this location.... After 5 attempts over 4 years I'm done. I can't even handle how terrible service is every single time. Service is actually non existent. Food orders come out wrong, drinks take forever, and wait staff never check in with you. By the time you can even get someone to acknowledge you, it's too late to even care for replacements. Also, when you kindly report you received the wrong order there's no accountability and they avoid you the rest of the time. As someone in the hospitality business, I take these matters with a kind heart. It's a hard business but this establishment obviously doesn't understand the basics. Disappointing and shameful read more

I lived in Indy for two years before coming here and I wish I knew about it sooner. The food is deliciously. A step above bar food but with decent prices. The menu selections are vast (salads, tacos and burgers) but the facility is amazing (very ski lodge like) with the most amazing views that make you think you're somewhere on vacation! read more

Perfect place to go if you want to have dinner with a view! Their outside patio overlooks Geist lake! The food is just ok. Nothing special. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a buffalo chicken wrap. Ordered the jalapeño margarita and it wasn't spicy at all. It also wasn't strong : ( read more

Wolfies Grill - Geist - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Love this place! Always great service, fun atmosphere, and delicious food and drinks! The view is pretty and in the warmer months it's such a fun place to go to right off the water! read more

Got there about 5 last night and Angela was in the parking lot saying it was a 30 minute wait for the patio but the beer garden had immediate seating. Was grateful for the information and my husband and I went to the garden. Ashley was our server and she did a great job. We had the pretzel breadsticks and they were hot and soft, for dinner we had the dry ribs, very fall off the bone tender. Look forward in going back... read more

Unfortunately, Wolfies has really gone downhill over the last few years. We eat there pretty consistently and live nearby, but this most recent visit may be our last. Our server was fantastic and the issues we had were outside of her control. There was trash on the deck, all over the place, not picked up. Almost ALL of the outdoor tables are rickety--we know because we've sat at a number of them in the last few months. They actually have stacks of napkins under the legs to keep tables even and even then they rock when you put weight on them. Why not just get new tables, for such a well established place? Our food order was wrong, steak was overcooked, and food was cold. I hope Wolfies improves. read more

We had high hopes for this place, but this visit fell way short. I didn't have any problems or issues with any of the staff, service was average. We had a party of four, three people ordered the steak and one had the prime rib sandwich. The steaks were all cooked at different temps. The person that choose medium rare showed us his steak and it looked like the meat was not the freshest but tasted ok. The steaks were not tender but not too tough. Now we move to the green beans - nobody ate them; they were limp and over cooked. All enjoyed the masked potatoes. The dinner salad was good The "prime rib"sandwich was ok, the meat was thinly sliced beef almost like something you can get at Sams club in a tub. read more

First off, the music they were playing was amazing. John Mayer, Goo Goo Dolls, Jack Johnson, etc. So fun and relaxing. Second of all our server, Michael was great! Didn't wait too long for food or drinks. He was the perfect balance of being attentive and giving us our space. And the food was phenomenal!!!!! Definitely will be back there! read more

Wolfies Grill - Geist - Avocado & bacon grilled cheese with tomato soup. - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

All of the servers were wearing masks and tables were spaced out. We were seated quickly and also got our food quick even though it was a busy Saturday night. Not to mention the food was delicious! 10/10 great experience read more

This restaurant has downgraded a beautiful location. Low quality food and ok service. Want to go here for the location but want to leave right away. Also takes 10 minutes on hold. :( needs a revamp or a new restaurant here! Must sit outside if you go. read more

Love their chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Great dinner will definitely go back for another meal.

Went there last night for the first time and was terribly disappointed in the service. First, it's 100x better if you get to sit outside on the water but it was a 1 hour wait (for 2 people)--with 3 tables clearly empty. I was told that they were too busy to seat people outside. You're already serving us inside...what's so hard about serving us outside? Second, the hostess forgot to bring us menus, forgot silverware, and forgot appetizer plates. Third, the first FOUR items we ordered weren't available. Finally, if you call to hear their live music schedule, the recording still has April dates listed even though this is the 3rd week of May. The servers were very friendly and working hard, but they couldn't keep up. The food was good (fried cauliflower was much better than expected) so the meal was satisfying. This place could be wonderful, especially with the view of the marina, but they have to resolve some management issues first. I'll wait a couple of weeks before trying again. read more

I came here for the first time after a boat ride. It looks very "fancy" on the outside and in (those majestic front doors!) but the ambiance is casual and the prices are very affordable. A group of us split the BBQ pork nachos - yum! Very fresh ingredients. I got the chicken salad sandwich. Bread wasn't very toasted so it got soggy but the actual chicken salad was tasty. The sweet potato fries were also delicious. A couple of people in my group got the crusted chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. HUGE portions and they loved it. I decided to come back with my husband. It was a busy Friday night (it's very packed here when the weather is nice) and it took a while to find a parking spot. We were quoted 50 minute wait but got seated in 10 minutes. Service was NOT great this time (it was fabulous the time before) but the food was still delicious. I would recommend this place; it's clean, service is normally good, decor is really cool, and the food is worth returning for. read more

We were looking for a nice restaurant that was family friendly and decided to try Wolfies. We went around 5:30 and there was no wait and plenty of other families there as well. All of the meals were fairly priced and the food was good. Our waitress was very tentative to us even though she had several other tables. Will definitely come back. Plus, you can't beat the view! read more

Love Wolfies! Food is great! Atmosphere is amazing! We order food from our boat and they deliver right to the dock! 2 star rating is because they close on Sunday's which is a busy day on the lake. How does a lake front restaurant choose to close on a weekend in the summer when it could possibly be one of the busiest days? read more

The smokehouse Tacos were awesome. Kiddo had a cheeseburger and she eat all of it Miracles can happen. The hubby had a smokehouse Burger he looked happy as can be. The views from the patio were awesome. Super happy with our experience. read more

I really wanted to give this a 5 stars because with spectacular views of Geist (for Indianapolis standards) - really good quality ingredients (ahi tuna- bison- and etc) this was my second time here and it was definitely better than the first time 1. Ahi Tuna Tacos- they give you a lot of tuna for a really great price and the pineapples were perfect (so sweet and juicy) great seasoning with nice spice of jalapeños- amazing 2. Blue steak strawberry salad - not that much meat but grilled to perfection- the homemade dressing is to die for (I had this salad both times I came here ) the honey walnuts were amazing- here's where they lost two stars (the strawberries were almost rotten - and I picked them out both times I came here ) and the server didn't even asked why I picked it out of a strawberry salad- I wish this place would play attention more to the freshness of the ingredients- the food is great and I really wanted to love this place but the strawberries leave you wondering if there's anything else not fresh read more
