Gosh, I want to like this so much! I had the chili cheese etouffee with crawfish and honestly....it was just a little too greasy for me. Basically, gravy (with a little crawfish) over white, parboiled rice. I know so many people go crazy for Yats, but I just can't do it. On the flip side, the atmosphere was nice. Everything seemed clean and the service was great. *sigh* read more

Everything is a stew,gumbo,etouffe ,red beans and sausage gruel over rice. Food was barely warned up. Best thing was the bread. $10 a head. Seriously thought it was going to be a Cajun cafe. Staff was luke warm and decor is bare bones. Didn't see anything about breakfast? read more

Everyone is obsessed with Yats. I love Cajun food, so I was pretty excited to try this place. I ordered the Drunken Chicken and it was good -- spicy, but not too much. The bread was delicious. The food just wasn't "wow." I would go back and give it another try if it was in a better location, like Plainfield. read more

Good is good. Menu does change. The toffee cookie is to die for!! Service is quick and friendly!

Cajun and creole at a reasonable price. We give it a 3.5 stars. Only downsides are plastic and styrofoam utensils, plates, and cups, but that is why it is so reasonably price. Wish it had a little more crazy; but overall, we really like this place and will be back often. read more

Yats - Yatz menu - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Avon, Indiana

Great spot for Cajun Nola style good. Had awesome red beans and rice with smoked sausage. Also had a good selection of local craft beer.

This place is not bad but in my book not authentic Cajun food mostly cheesy dishes with a twist if you have and open mind and just want to try something different and a little adventurous this is your place.. read more

Friends introduced me to Yats a year ago (one more reason to love them) and I keep going back! So many delicious choices so the half and half is the way to go. My go to combo is the maque choux and chorizo étouffée. I love the contrast of the sweet (maque choux) to the spicy chorizo dish. The buttery Cajun bread makes a delectable, edible utensil to scoop up all of that yumminess! My only wish is that the local FB Page was consistently updated with daily specials so I knew how fast to drive there to grab my faves! read more

Disgusting, horrible, watery, unappealing and unhealthy food is served here. Very surprised the health department hasn't done anything about the restaurant itself is is so dirty and they just have bottles of sauce open in the restaurant! One of my least favorite places around here. read more

Just left there with Carry out. I love the food here. But more importantly I really like the service. The guys behind the counter are always so nice. There is a relaxed feeling that makes it just a great place to go. The ambiance here, the tone, of the restaurant gives it that sweet southern vibe. And did I mention the bread is phenomenal - get extra!! read more

Very happy to have Yats so close now. Did not disappoint. The wife thought it looked too "upscale" it's new and squeeky clean. They said they will dress it up or down I guess how you look at it. All in all I love it and will be here often :-) read more

One of the best parts about living in the Indy area is going to YATZ! A few of the locations that have been franchised out sometimes lack in quality but this location is top notch. The decore is in the typical Naw lens fashion with foregin currency and other memorabilia line the walls. The food is the very definition of creole comfort food. The service is some of the best I've had and I always know I'll have a good experience here read more

Food was excellent. They have PBR for a dollar. The atmosphere was a chill hangout for surfer dudes and skater bros.

I'm so glad that Yats has a location in Avon. I've been here numerous times, and the service is always excellent. They are always friendly and patient, especially when I bring people who have never been to a Yats before. The food has been consistently great, except for today - I always order extra bread because it's delicious! The spread they put on it is addicting, but today there was hardly any on it. But every other time I've been here, the food has been great and I will still continue to be a regular fan. read more

I can never get enough of Yat's! Everything is always so good. Crawford etouffee, Chipotle Alexia, red beans and sausage are all my top 3.

We tried this place out and to be honest I was concerned when I read the menu. I lived in Dallas and we would venture next door to Louisiana for fun trips and work. We have eaten plenty of creole and cajun meals. I have never seen any that included a cream base to all the traditional items. It works though at Yats. We liked what we had but it is far from traditional. read more

Gross gross gross gross. First of all, every 'dish' is some kind of brown slop on a plastic plate. Second, my order was so greasy that every...er... cup of it was more than half oil and/or butter. Disgusting. Will not go back. And the dish I ordered was supposed to be composed of mushroom but there seemed to be bits of beef gristle in it? read more

I was a bit skeptical walking into this because I wasn't sure what to expect but let me tell ya' the food is amazing. I got the half and half of drunken chicken and chili cheese étouffée. I like both but I prefer the chili cheese étouffée. It's served over white rice with Cajun garlic bread to sop up all the goodness. I like this place and will be back. read more

Yats is consistent with every dish it prepares. Simply order at the register, grab a fountain drink or beer and await the Creole! We seem to always order the Vegan Spinich and Mushroom Etouffe, Chili cheese with crayfish or Drunken Chicken. Anything on the blackboard will not disappoint! Go here, skip the big chains with long waits. read more

Like this west side location! Quick and friendly service, clean and comfortable design, regular Yat's feel. I always get the vegan white chili. It's hearty and can be spiced up with one of Yat's sauces. Always get extra bread! read more

My husband and I ate here today and it was so good! I am usually not one to try many new places, but I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to try it. I'm really glad that I did! They offered free samples for anything that we were curious about and they also give you amazing garlic bread along with your meal. I got the chili cheese étouffée and was very pleased with it! I was a little worried that it was going to be too spicy, but it ended up not being spicy at all, which is perfect for me. :-) read more

Good food ice cold beer at $1.75 a can can't hardly complain awesome service believe the guys name was Travis

Yats does a great job offering creole food at reasonable pricing. I have tried at least 6 different entrees and been happy with all of them. My personal favorite is the Chorizo Etoufee with chicken. They come with a couple slices of toast with oil. You can also order 2 half portions to make one full entree if you cannot decide. Definitely worth a stop if you are looking for some creole food without breaking the bank! read more

We cannot get enough of this place. Their menu is ever-changing and you can taste anything for free! The favorite is the chili cheese crawfish étouffée. You have to get extra bread also. So delicious. Go there... Today!! read more

Drunken chicken was great!! I was really surprised how good this place was. The staff was also over the top nice! Free samples help you decide what to eat too which is nice since most people probably haven't tried this type of food before. We need to work this into our lunch rotation for sure!! read more

First time and will be the last. Was impressed until they took our order then whole experience went bad. There was no one but us in the place yet after 40 min no food. Of course I went up to find out. Guess they "lost" our order. When I asked just to refund our money I had to ask 3 times before they gave me the correct amount. To believe they thought I was still wanting to tip. I sure hope upper management sees this and becomes aware of the service we encountered. They got 1 star only because thats the lowest allowed read more

Always have a good experience here. Friendly knowledgeable workers, fast service, delicious food. They also have options for every body whether you're a carnivore, gluten free or a vegan they have at least one dish for you. Their food prices are unbeatable but they do charge a bit much for their fountain drinks. 2.75 for a tea in what I'm guessing is a 16ounce cup. Best thing about Yats is by far the bread though. Soooo good. read more

Love Yats... The staff is always friendly and the food is great! I always get the B+B and it never disappoints!

As a native New Orleanean, I am picky about my Cajun food and holy goodness I want to eat here all the time. It's so good! Their customer service was awesome. We were greeted when we walked in, offered samples and our food was ready pronto. They were genuinely interested in our experience and wanted us to leave happy (and full). Oh, and they give you this sliced French bread with this seasoned butter yumminess that's so good you'll want to slap ya mama. Oh man that was good. I got a plate half with jambalaya (spicy! But not too spicy) and half with crawfish étouffée. They name their étouffée something weird but it's just yummy étouffée. My husband got a plate half with drunken chicken ("awesome! It was great!") and black beans and chorizo chili ("it was black beanaliscious"). Both were very yummy. Yum yum yummy yum. The end. #nomnomnom read more

Good food, great service! Took my son for his first visit. They took plenty of time to describe the dishes and give him plenty of samples. Will be back for sure! read more

It is Yats - If you've never been, you need to go. I love everything I have tried from here. Avon needed something like this on our side of town! Don't be alarmed at the looks of the food. The taste is amazing and even though all the dishes look similar the flavors are definitely not. Ask for a sample, they are always more than happy and willing to help you decide which one is going to be your favorite! read more

This is a great place to go the food is good has great flavor not what you expect make you want to go back for seconds it's kind of noisy because the dining room is kind of small but to taste the food I didn't mind these guys need a larger place because this is somewhere you will want all your friends to try. the food is so good I forgot to mention love the service also read more

Love it. They have all the options of the downtown or Broad Ripple locations. The employees are always super friendly and they even give a uniformed discount. I usually go with old favorites like jambalaya and Maque Choux but they have the usual Chili Cheese Étouffée if that's what you're looking for. They also have Diet Dr. Pepper AND Diet Mountain Dew which is both a rare and much appreciated for soda enthusiasts. read more

So happy Yat's is in Avon! Drunken chicken and chili cheese étouffée are my favorites! Great food at a reasonable price with great portions.

One of the things I miss most about Indiana. Every time I come back for a week, I come here at least 4 times. The gumbo is the best thing that you could ever put in your mouth. read more

I'm not sure why everyone loves this place. Ate dinner here. It's basically a cup of chili/stew poured over rice. Our rice was crunchy which meant it was either old & dried out or undercooked. They serve it with a piece of bread painted with some kind of flavored oil. Yuck. I guess the way you get people to eat this slop is sell them cheap booze. The atmosphere is nonexistent. It's in a strip mall right on US 36 next to a bunch of other mediocre restaurants. The exception is the Thai restaurant a few doors down. I 'd go there instead. read more

We were here a few weeks ago...amazing. The food was good and spicy. The customer service was amazing. The guy working the register remembered my name and used it in conversation 10 minutes after I'd ordered. Little things like that make the experience better. Fun, fast, quality food! read more

Food was yummy but the portion size was way to small for what I paid. This food seems to be pre-made in a crock pot.

DRUNK CHICKEN. Crack. And don't forget the extra bread.
