We have been several times and always love the food. Service is fast and though it's small there is plenty of seating. We really like their bread with the tasty seasoning. read more

I don't know why I haven't tried Yats before now, but it's SO good. I had the drunken chicken and it was so good. Just enough heat, great flavors, and perfect consistency. We are in, though this is more fast casual, so you don't get served. The counter person was really friendly, though. All of the orders also came with bread. Major win. read more

This was my first visit to this Yats location, and unfortunately, it will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. I've eaten at several other Yats restaurants around the city and always enjoyed myself. But here, I was disrespected, dismissed, and made to feel singled out in a way that no customer should ever experience. I ordered gumbo to-go. The way it was packaged was careless, and within minutes the lid popped off, spilling hot food all over my trunk. I returned right away, politely explained the situation, and requested a replacement. Instead of empathy or professionalism, I was met with hostility from the staff member who assisted me (a white male, name unknown). He argued against replacing the food, gave me a smaller portion with no rice, and when I asked about the rice, told me, "It's fine, you can wash it off." That alone is insulting--no customer should ever be told to wash off their own food after it's been ruined. When I asked for a manager's or owner's number to provide feedback, I was met with more attitude, sarcasm, and resistance. I was told, "I already gave you the food, why do you need to call anybody?" That type of dismissive response crosses the line of customer service into outright disrespect. What makes this worse--and deeply personal--is that I came in professionally dressed in a suit, bow tie, blazer, and fedora. I was polite and respectful from the beginning. Yet as a Black man new to this area, I was still treated like my concerns didn't matter, spoken down to, and made to feel uncomfortable and unwanted. It is hard to escape the conclusion that race played a role in how I was handled. No matter how I presented myself, I was not afforded the same courtesy or respect that should be given to any paying customer. This experience was not just bad service--it felt discriminatory. I left not only disappointed in the lack of professionalism but disturbed by how casually I was dismissed. Yats as a brand has always been one of my favorites, but this location reflects poorly on the company as a whole if behavior like this is allowed to stand. I strongly urge the owner to take this seriously. Food quality means nothing if customers are made to feel disrespected, uncomfortable, or discriminated against. No one should have to go through what I experienced today. read more

The food is DELICIOUS. Service is fast. Inside is okay but the outdoor seating is nice. Got the 1/2 chili cheese etoufee and 1/2 b+b and it was delicious. Love that they give samples, too. Bread is delicious and portion size is awesome. They cater, too! Who knew? read more

I love the food I got chili cheese crawfish delicious I recommend you get it five star

I love Yats! I live in Broad Ripple, where we have the Yats mothership and you're pretty likely to run into Joe himself. But I've tried all the satellite locations and enjoyed them, too. Unfortunately this one is my least favorite of the bunch. We each ordered our usual of half drunken chicken, and we each got mostly got rice and maybe one chicken chunk and a splattering of sauce. The dinning area feels a little more sterile than other Yats. Service was good, though it took a bit longer than usual to fill our order, which again was mostly rice. If you're in the mood for Yats and can travel a bit further, I'd take the Carmel location over this one. read more

Rating: 2 Stars Used to love Yats--until I paid $20 for what felt like a toddler's sampler. I left so hungry I considered eating the to-go box for dessert. If this is a full portion, I'd hate to see the kids size. read more

If you're going to provide packets of sour cream then they should not be put on top of the food but in the bag with the utensils and napkins SMH. read more

Yats - Asked for sour cream and started to stir my food and it was buried under. An adult should have more common sense. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Noblesville, Indiana

Always yummy, a good value, and good to-go or dine-in! Good choice for local Cajun! Always love the B&B or White Chicken Chili.

Let's go! YATS!! What amazing food and customer service. The chef who took my order was very helpful & helped me to create my own 1/2 combo. It was very good & his patience was so great as I was super decisive. LOL I wanted it all!! They also had the Cherry Ginger Ale- made my week!!! Keep serving up the love!!! read more

Yats as a whole has went down hill. Don't order online because there is a 100% chance they will mess the order up.

This location is in Hamilton Town Center and the service was great. Employees were welcoming, friendly, and answered all my questions as it was my first time. I ordered the half and half with rice. My favorite of the two was the vegetarian spinach and mushroom etouffee. It had a nice curry flavor. The vegetarian b&b (black beans and corn) was a bit too sweet for my liking. Their Cajun buttered bread was good. Reminded me of old-school grocery store garlic bread (in a good way). With so many food options at HTC it could be easy to overlook this place. However, for speedy service and reliable flavors, it's a good option. read more

The food is still yats, so I don't want to say don't come here. What I will say however is, don't dine-in if you plan to come here for yats. The vibes are waaay off in this location and it's 100% due to the staff and how unwelcoming they are. The 1 and only time we sat in here, which I might add was a full 90 minutes before they closed the staff was directly (there was no room left to call this passive) aggressively cleaning every table right next to us. I need to explain the level of tension you could feel as it is still early out and this guy is loudly clanking a broom and dust pan around us and throwing the chairs up on tables so there is no where left to sit. He was also audible huffing and grunting which felt very directly related to our presence bc it wasn't happening before we sat down for 10 minutes. I checked the door, which lists the hours multiple times trying to figure out if I magically hopped into a time warp that traveled in time to be 5 minutes before close, but not shockingly that is not what occurred. As someone who has worked customer service for most of their life, I can be super patient & understanding but this was so rude and unwelcoming. This is also a common sentiment among anyone I know who lives around this yats. I will stick to the 96th st Yats from now on where the staff doesn't seem upset that you chose to visit the place they work at. read more

Excellent customer service, the guy at the checkout was a nice guy! The food was phenomenal as always. Definitely recommend coming here if you're shopping around and looking for a good quick and easy lunch spot. read more

The food is delicious, however it's not easy to access said food when they don't consistently open on time. Highly recommend the Maque Choux if you can catch them with the doors unlocked for service. read more

Decided to get the white chicken chili. Added hot sauce. It's always quick service, with a "thanks for coming back!" Takes me back to the times I've been to New Orleans with the pictures and beads. read more

This is one of those places that shouldn't be overlooked. The inside in kinda Marci-gras themed, but I don't come here for the decor. The food is magic! Plain and Simple. The menu is simple and written on the chalkboard above the bar area. Simply explained, it's white rice topped with stuff. The food never disappoints and is like a comfortable blanket on a chilly day. You're gonna want to spend the $.92 and get the extra bread. Trust me on that one. read more

We stopped in here to get a quick bite after a long busy day, when we walked in the lady behind the counter asked how many meals we were ordering as they were low on rice and it would be about 20 min wait. I was so sad (and hungry) we decided to only get one meal and split it and honestly that was enough, they gave us extra bread for the inconvenience and in my opinion the bread is as equally good as the rice. I've ate here several times and the food is always hot and always good. If your craving some Cajun comfort food, you've found your spot! read more

I went here recently and it has gone down in quality, taste like cheap rice and old onions, and a packed of sour cream... I get that the rent is expensive there but I mean quality is the first important thing. I also only had one craw fish in my meal. read more

I know this isn't one of the "neater" locations but the negative reviews due to only the "vibe" is a little misguided. The food is great. If coming from the East, not everyone can drive to the other locations but it is nice to get Yats. The food is always good and In probably 15 times coming here, every single time the employees have been super nice. read more

This location is the slowest ever! It took them over 30 minutes to get our food. Other Yats locations we get our food before we even sit down. Won't be back to this one... that's for sure. read more

Let me start off by saying that I absolutely love Yats. This poor review is specific to this location; which I will avoid in the future at all costs. Service at lunch on 10/14 was abysmal. Staff was incredibly rude and had a poor attitude which was apparent from the beginning, and we almost walked away then. We should have. (Sad thing was that we drove out of our way just to get Yats.) Received our food in takeaway containers, which made it hard to sit across from one another at the table. This Yats didn't have the self-serve seasonings we find at the other Indy area locations. Heavy metal music was playing WAY too loud; and I am a music fan. This, plus poor customer service and poor attitudes were enough that we left before finishing our lunch. Please train your staff on basic customer service. read more

I always order ubereat and Never disappointed. The managers name is Max and he is very kind. I recommend everyone to eat here. Best customer service and Cajun food in the USA. Thank you Max. -Jay read more

Been going for YEARS. Love the vibe and the food. Best bread in town. Thank you guys :)

Incredible!!! If you like Spivey and Cajun, your taste buds will thank you. Sample what you think sounds good. Split a plate of two varieties. Awesome garlic bread. Order extra. Beer, soft drinks, cool place. Don't pass this place up. Skip the burger joints, and have something amazing. read more

This lace is very delish! Welcoming to both meat eaters and vegan! I love the fact that they offer vegan chili or some kind of vegan or vegetarian option! The food here does not lack on flavor or portions the portions here are very plentiful for what you get! I recommend coming here if you are in the mood for some soul food, comfort food that warms you up read more

Travis and Dalton are some dope employees who cook up some great food and give a great friendly and comfortable welcome to the restaurant

Attempted to eat here tonight. Ordered my meal and asked for extra bread. (This is what my daughter will actually eat here) They told me they're running low on bread and they REFUSED to let me order just bread for my daughter. It's an hour before they close. So incredibly disrespectful. If you have food to sell... You should probably go ahead and sell it. Especially for a child???? This is usually one of my favorite places but the whole experience was so frustrating and disrespectful. read more

service was fantastic! Travis and dalton took our orders, which were even better than we expected. 10/10 would come again

As a Cajun, I prefer a more authentic decor. They do try by hanging Mardi Gras beads on corner post and adding various Cajun signs. However I would like to see it more rugged perhaps. The food is okay. I wouldn't call it exceptional, but Cajun food is not overly complex. They do have a great selection of different Cajun dishes and mix it up from time to time. I axed a star by them not having advertised dishes available.i read more

This is the first time I have ever been disappointed by Yat's. My standby for years has been the chili cheese etoufee. Tonight we used doordash to place an order for 4 etoufees. When we unpacked the order, the first thing we noticed was that we only had 3. The next problem was that there was not a single piece of bread with any of the orders we got. I called the store and had to go out to pick up the missing order and the bread....defeating the purpose of having called doordash in the first place. While waiting for the missing order, everybody else ate the food. The rice was undercooked. The portions seemed smaller than we are used to. It hurts me to post a lousy review for one my favorite restaurants. But I feel the service we got this time justifies a lousy review. When getting the missing order, they were very polite and apologetic. They said they had gotten slammed. The threw in a bunch of chips and cookies. When we got it home, the replacement meal had the same issue with the undercooked rice. They gave us lots of bread, but it wasn't toasted. Overall my most disappointing meal from a normally awesome place. read more

A staple for all Indy dwellers. The various yats locations throughout Indy offer delicious Cajun food at a decent price. With many options ranging from drunken chicken to gumbo. Chipotle alexia with extra bread is my favorite. The bread is INCREDIBLE with their Cajun butter on top. A must have if you're ever looking for a quick, unique meal. read more

This is a small little place hidden away at Hamilton Town Center. But you have to find it because the food is great! I have been going to Yats for years, first in Broadripple, then in Carmel (Indy?), now in Noblesville. The places are always small, nothing fancy for sure. But I love the food. The étouffée is my favorite but I like there half and half lunches. I usually get étouffée and jambalaya. Don't pass this place by. Give it a try! read more

Look, ettoufes and rice with toppings aren't going to ever be photogenic or insta-foodie picturesque. But don't let that decieve you. Yats is...amazing. I'm from San Diego, and every time I visit Indy, Yats is on the to do list! I've tried every offering they have, and they do not disappoint. Whether you eat there, take out, or reheat the next day in the microwave to cure a hangover, it all works with Yats. My favorite is the Chicken Maque Choux. Don't ask me to pronounce it, just let me eat it. It's delicious. My wife and I always get the half and half plate, so we get to try 4 dishes. Mine always end up completely mixed together though, so I end up with a delicious Yats mixto, with a side of buttery garlic bread. Top the meal with some garlic hot sauce from their sauce bar and you'll be throwing out beads in no time! Yats is delicious. Every random time I go it doesn't disappoint. read more

This chain is seriously Indy's casual cheap staple. The food is amazing and I've been to just about every location and tried the whole menu. The atmosphere is always friendly and inviting the service is quick and the food is cheap for the quality and flavor. My two favorites are the white chicken chili and the cheese etoufee with crawfish. I typically get the half and half meal with both. The bread is to die for and seasoned so good. Another must try is their peanut butter pie.. it does sell out rather quickly that is the only bummer. I recommend anyone whether local or traveler try this spot you will not be disappointed. read more

So today, on my walk around the Noblesville, IN area, I came across an absolutely outstanding treasure trove of 'Nawlins goodness. First, they have a lot of Daily Specials - which is a good sign. Then my eyes lit upon something special - Chorizo Etouffee. Now I love both chorizo and etouffee, so this should be awesome. Then I saw that you can get a Half and Half plate - meaning 2 batches of goodness! So I found another special - in my case, chili cheese etouffee - and wow! Don't let your tongue out of yo' mouth because it will slap yo' eyes for lookin' anywhere else. Plus, the staff is friendly and treats you like people, not cattle like some other places do. read more

Typically I go to downtown Yats location but I was in the area. The inside offers seating and a bar area which is restricted to 21 and up. The Yats menu offers several options but only one vegan option (white chili). I really want them to offer another option in the future. If you frequent Yats as a vegan it can get pretty boring and repetitive. You can choose one or two "entrees" which come with rice and bread, which is around $8. You can pay extra for more bread. Please bear in mind the portion size is large. They use all plastic utensils which is interesting and you pickup your order at the kitchen window. I learned while there they offer catering which is a plus. Overall Yats is an economical food option with creole inspired food. read more
