Me: "I'm curious about the mango chutney" Staff: "Good question, I actually don't know because I don't eat the food here. Google it?" How do you know a restaurant is ripping off its customers and employees? The lowest tip option is 25%. You need me to pay your servers for you? $15 burger is a burger only! And the tip options are 25%-35%? Get out of my ass. Food is bland, burgers have barely any toppings. Felt like I was eating at Wendy's. At least Wendy's burgers come with fries. These fries come with a side of sodium overdose though, how kind! Paid $15 for a burger (only) and got it served in a plastic bowl, like I'm a Labrador Retriever. Woof, I guess. Cocktail was so bland I mistook it for my water a few times. I had the Let's Make It a Tiki. The decor feels like a corporate marketing team was assigned to recreate the feeling of an ice cream parlor in a burger joint but they only succeeded in recreating the chilling atmosphere of a dentist waiting room. Hard pass. PS. They never gave us straws! PPS. Don't bring a Mastercard, because apparently they don't accept those. read more

Really enjoyed our first visit to baby's. The exterior is one of the coolest in all of Indy. We came on a beautiful today and was able to sit on their spacious screened in patio. Because of Covid, the menus were digital, but we had no issue with that. I really enjoyed their cocktail menu and so many amazing names after drag race! Food was good, very basic menu. I will happily return! read more

Pink and boozy and cool oh my! Had a great first experience at Baby's tonight and I can't wait to hang in their outdoor space when it's warm out. First things first they have a great covid protocol in place. Tables are spaced out, masks are a must and they even take your temperature upon arrival. The outdoor patio has been converted with tables and heaters to create more space! I created my own burger tonight and it was a hit! If you aren't a CYO type there's plenty of sandwiches, Mac and cheese and salads you can pick from. Tonight I had the veggie patty with a side of onion rings. My significant other also did a CYO with French fries. The food was so good and reasonably priced. While you may come here for the food it's even better for drinks. Not only does Baby's have a beautiful full bar they specialize in boozy shakes and milkshakes. Plenty of parking and such pleasant staff. If you are looking for your next Midwest burger and ice cream shop run on over to baby's. read more

I've been to Baby's before but it's been a minute since I've been in. Since I've been in they have done a little bit of remodeling and reworked the way the restaurant runs. There is now a counter where you place your order and they will bring it to your table. I thought this worked really well! When I dined this time, I had the Strut burger with fries and the bar queen cocktail. They were both very good! The cocktail was very refreshing. The burger was really filling and I wasn't even able to finish it all. I was with my friend who is vegan, and she was so pleased with with the options. She had the dairy free milkshake and was raving about it! read more

First time visiting Baby's and we are already planning what to order next time we go! First off, upon arriving they check your temperature before seating you. Tables were spaced out with enough space between each other and everyone was wearing masks. We started with a drink, I had the Bye Felicia, it was refreshing and hit the spot. I love the names of all the drinks! My husband had a barrel pick bourbon that you can only find at Baby's. The burgers were to die for! My husband got the specialty burger and loved it. I built my own and it was amazing! The patties are thin and have these divine crispy edges. We also ordered a side of onion rings that were pretty on point. The highlight of my meal was their Mac and cheese, it was creamy and topped with shaved Parmesan....oh so good!!! We cannot wait to go back and try other items off the menu. read more

Good burgers, but you pay for it. I've never had the milkshakes which are apparently a big deal, so no comment there. There are a range of combinations available, most will meet your taste needs quite well. It's local and love to support local businesses, so will be back when in the mood for a local burger. read more

Stopped by twice this week that's how yummy these shakes are. The best part of it all is that they have their own parking lot (free) which is so convenient and such a relief considering parking downtown can sometimes be a tricky! As soon as you walk in the host will take your temperature and take you to a table! They do have outdoor seating and it's heated which works perfect with this chilly weather! The staff was very welcoming and attentive. We got our shakes almost immediately after ordering, they are seriously the best!! The also offer boozy milkshakes which are delicious. The food was great but the Talbott fries were definitely the star of the show !! They are simply delicious !! read more

When you walked into this place it made you feel like you're in the movie "Grease" waiting for the "Pink Ladies" to strut in. Gave you that 70s and 80s vibe. The staff welcomed us with a smile and a energetic hello! First time buying here so that was appreciated that I was wanted as a customer. My girl is pescatarian so she ordered the impossible burger while I order there signature burger with the BAM sauce. Everything was delicious I even took a bite of the impossible burger and it was something I would order again. I would like their hamburger patties a lil butter and even hotter read more

What a cool place!!! My mom, brother and I try new restaurants once a month and this place is one of our favorites!! The cocktail list has the best bands for their drinks. All 3 of our drinks were different alcohol based and we loved them all. We had to try as much food as possible. We got the onion rings, fries, mushrooms, burger, tenderloin, veggie burger and Mac and cheese. We will be back to try their boozy milkshakes!! read more

We came in on a Friday afternoon for lunch. It was moderate busy. We sat outside on the covered patio. We were immediately greeted by our server. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. She came back a few minutes later, we placed our order. About 30 minutes later, she informed us our food was next up to be cooked. Someone called off in the kitchen so it was taking a little longer. About another 15 minutes goes by and our food comes out hot and fresh. It was really good. I got the baked potato fries and add a crispy chicken breast. Would definitely recommend. It was a lot of food tho! I couldn't even finish half of it. read more

This was a great meal! My wife and I brought our niece and she was so excited to come back as she had been here before. She got the single smash burger and fries and it was perfect size for her to eat it in two meals. My wife and I tend to each get something and split it so we can try two items. We decided on the Swiss this way burger and added bacon to it and then the buffao chicken sandwich. They both were great! The Buffalo sauce was spicy but not too spicy and the sauce, cheese and bun just melded together and it was scrumptious. The burger had great flavor too and it was not overly greasy. We will definitely be back! read more

Highly recommended by my Chiropractor who is plant based most of the time. This place must be amaze balls. I showed up with high expectations, Baby's did not disappoint. The Smash Burger is thicker than I anticipated, winning!! The burger was flavorful, tender, and juicy. I love that they have multiple cheese options, not everyone likes American Cheese. I appreciated the choice of bun too, it withstood the weight of the patties and moisture from the meat and condiments. I also had Talbots Street Fries..they made me happy dance. The fries were crispy on the outside and creamy inside..that's how all fries should be IMO. The addition of bacon, cheese, and pickled jalapeños are a great addition. I did have the white BBQ on the side, it was interesting. I also enjoyed the outdoor interactive art installment. With the pandemic going on it was nice to enjoy being outside and enjoy tasty food. Like my chiropractor, I think this place is great. Great burgers, fries, and wonderful staff. They were very helpful in answering our questions (called), let us know we could sit outside if we wanted to, and brought us water to go with our sodas. *I hear they also make amazing shakes. I don't like shakes but will be trying one soon because maybe there's are different. read more

Atmosphere- great for a birthday lunch! They are indoor and outdoor seating with aesthetic murals all over. Great photo ops! Food- came out super quick, was delicious!! I got the build your own burger but swapped for grilled chicken breast and they have so many sauces to choose from. The fries are a MUST!! Got the special of the day "Fierce Fires"- almost like nachos but with fries. Service- everyone was so nice! They gave recommendations and were so welcoming. The service was very accommodating and quick. Overall- have to give this place a 5/5 stars. This place is a great lunch spot. read more

Great little restaurant in the Old Northside! Milkshakes are delicious, we ordered the chocolate and strawberry. They're just the right size so you still have room for your meal, but if that's all you're getting I'd definitely order 2! We had the single burger and Mac n cheese. Both really tasty! Great portion sizes and the Mac n cheese had really good flavor! We sat outside on the patio, there's a curtain hanging on the west side to protect you from the wind. COVID Update: Our temperatures were taken at the door, all the wait staff was wearing masks. We scanned a QR code to see the menus on our phones. Lots of outdoor seating and nice kids play area, so social distancing is no problem here! Also bike rack near the parking lot. Highly recommend a visit (even just for the milkshakes!). read more

What's a birthday without a drag brunch?! We brought in my little sister's birthday with a lot fun. Baby's hosts a drag brunch on the second Sunday of each month and it's a lot of fun. Tickets are $5 and sell out very fast. When we first arrived we were seated at a huge table to accommodate our large party. The space is so pretty. We started with a few cocktails and mimosas before the show starts. During the drag brunch there's a preselected menu. This time we got loaded fries, chicken sandwich served with a salad and a shake for dessert. The food was really good. Now about the drag show!!!!! I absolutely loved these queens. They were so entertaining and I loved the music selection. The host was so fun and very engaging. The show is family friendly so you can bring the kids! I'm so excited for next month's show, my kids have been begging to go. read more

Baby's is such a fun atmosphere. The decor is so bright and the draft cocktails have clever names such as Bye Felicia and Dat Booty Tho. I tried the Festivus cocktail, which was super refreshing. We stopped in around 5:30 on a Wednesday evening and sat on the covered patio. To our surprise, the restaurant quickly filled up and since there is little noise dampening on the covered patio, it got VERY loud. This is a family-friendly restaurant so be prepared for kids who may be unaware they're not using their "indoor voices". We started with the vegan mushrooms with ranch dressing on the side. These were a disappointment - some were ice cold in the middle and some of the breading was not thoroughly cooked. Our server was slammed, and I imagine the kitchen was too, so we only ate the smaller shrooms which we found were hot and cooked all the way through. For my entrée I ordered the Bam! Burger with an Impossible patty and fries. These were both winners. The bun and burger complemented each other perfectly, and the cheeses and Bam! sauce tied it all together. I would recommend getting a side of one of Baby's sauces if you order fries instead of boring ol' ketchup. The white BBQ sauce is a creamy horseradish pepper sauce and was great with my fries. I would definitely come back to Baby's, but would opt to sit inside the main dining room next time (or at the VERY adorable bar). read more

Neat interior. Comprehensive menu, including non dairy and kids meals. Some neat adult beverage options. Service was friendly!

I have nothing but great things to say about this joint. My expectations were high and I am so happy that my experience with Baby's was all that I had hoped for. This environment is definitely picturesque and sooo trendy and cute. I found myself taking pictures of so many little details (like the bathroom wallpaper lol) because the overall branding is just immaculate. I'm not usually someone who will seek out a burger but this burger was like really REALLY top notch. Juicy and delicious. Fries were fine and breaded mushrooms were lit. I can't wait to go back! For all the Instagram girlies who love to post cute pics, you NEED to hit up this spot. An absolute gem. read more

Not much crowded because of covid. Little bit expensive but worth it. Overall 5 out 5. read more

It's been a while since I have had a great burger and a boozy milkshake, but Baby's was a wonderful experience with the most terrific burgers and milkshakes. The baby's strut burger was very good and the onion rings were to die for. The boozy milkshake I chose was a chocolate shake with peanut butter whiskey. It was excellent and the best milkshake I have ever had in a long time. The customer service was the best service I have had from a restaurant in a long time. The outdoor patio was very nice and given the pandemic we are going through right now, the restaurant still made the experience very enjoyable. I would say this restaurant is on the top of my list of burger places in Indy. I would recommend this place to all of my friends. Baby's is the best!! read more

So Monday cravi go checked in today in the form of a smash burger and u haven't tried Babys yet so its what the hell monday let's give it a whirl...Lunch is ordered at the counter with no menus(thank you) just QR codes on tables...if you don't know how to use them learn.... Baby Strut was smashed as promised and tasty, cheese was melted and flavors were good...good burger. Only issue was the bottom bun disintegrated on me...usually that means old bun, not toasted to hold or just happen stance that is Monday and the Bread man is running behind....anyways fries were crispy shoestring as ordered....bill $17 and I drank wTer before tip..was it worth $17, well it hit the spot let's say that but dunno if I would spend $12 on a burger and then pay extra for fries, we all need to make money but this is a lil salty for lunch, its a small burger weight wise and fries...I know a few local places with good burgers for half the price...maybe say workingmans friend for one.. Service with a smile at the counter Atmosphere was good popping music and nice place I would return to try other dishes but prolly not the $12 burger Eat Local, Shop Local, Live Local JC read more

I was very excited to try Baby's as it typically has good reviews, and I have heard good things. The positives: very cute atmosphere and the mint milkshake with chocolate bourbon was amazing!! Unfortunately, otherwise, we were pretty disappointed. The chicken tenders were clearly frozen, out of bag, and the fries were just ok. My daughter's fried chicken sandwich looked overcooked and she did not eat it. Mac n cheese was ok. My wife had boneless buffalo wings, they were on par with BW3, sadly. Our service was ok, not the best, not the worst. I hope this was an off night, as i want local businesses to thrive, but it looks like according to more recent reviews, it was not. read more

What a neat spot! It's right by Herron High School. Stopped in for dinner before a meeting. Service was super fast! The decor was, different. Bright colors everywhere, the staff was super attentive. I got the Baby Strut burger. Very tasty sauce, bacon and jelly, yummy. Plus I got to have lettuce with tomatoes on my burgers. The onion rings were golden! I was full before I ever started on the burger. I could see they had an expansive list of alcoholic beverages and shakes but since I was headed to a meeting I had to refrain. Maybe, I will return Sunday for the "Drag" show. That sounds interesting. The only downside of this neat little spot was prices. One meal: burger, onion rings, and cookie came to a total of $25 with tip. That's a little pricey for me but with a show?? I will return! read more

Living in Herron Morton, Baby's was easily one of the best things to come to the neighborhood while I lived there. Honestly, such a bummer that I moved away from the delicious broasted chicken. As someone that cooks often and strives for healthy meals... Baby's chicken just can't be beaten. I am also a sucker for their strut burger. Definitely a calorie splurge but it is worth every bite. Before Covid, I also loved to bring guests there because the atmosphere is so fun! The bartenders are (were?) really great at helping you pick out drinks- they have seasonal options so you can always try something new. Looking forward to going in when this is all over. I've ordered takeout a bunch of times post-covid and everything is delicious and warm as before. Fingers crossed this amazing neighborhood spot can make it during this difficult time. read more

What a fun joint! So cute and inviting from the outside. Baby's has an outdoor park for kids and pets, twinkle lights, the whole package. I can tell it'll be a hit this summer with that nice outdoor space and indoor/outdoor area. I got a cup of the chili, a side of seasonal veggies (squash, zucchini, peppers, etc) and a champagne velvet beer from upland. The chili was pretty tasty! They had a vegan chili and a vegetarian chili - I went with the vegetarian option. My recommendation would be to add a white chicken chili, I think they'd do it well! read more

I had heard lots of great things about Baby's so decided to give it a try this weekend and it did not disappoint! It's very much a modern day diner, with a bright neon sign, booths and a gorgeous bar top. Upon entering, the staff were incredibly friendly. Since we were newbies, they were very informative of their concept, favorites, etc. I immediately noticed their patio, which is covered with heaters for the winter, and cannot wait to go back in the warmer months. The menu really offers something for everyone, with burgers, chicken, and veggie options. There are lots of alcohol options as well, from seasonal cocktails to boozy milkshakes. I decided on the grilled chicken sans bread and it was amazing. My husband said the burger was great as well. We shared fries, which were cooked perfectly. We will definitely be going back to Baby's! read more

First off Talbot St, I have not been to your rd since the bar closed. A snails was brought to my face when I saw the TS doors and that Baby's is a part of this history. Love how happy and fun this restaurant is. The names of the cocktails are hilarious. The single burger w the vegan cheese and bam sauce is Chefs Kiss. I don't know what they mix w their patty's but dear lord deliver them to me daily. The right amount of crush, the right amount of seasoning. It was fantastic. Oh let's talk about fries. One basket feeds 2. Get yourself a side of mayo or another sauce to dip those fries in. Next time I am saving room for a boozy non dairy shake read more

Baby's is bumpin'! With a mini outdoor playground for kids in the front, a neon pink sign in the window, and a big patio with heat lamps, you'll be sure to notice it if you're driving by. This restaurant was highly-anticipated for two big reasons: the owners were the same ones who opened the swanky Ball & Biscuit bar on Mass Ave. It's also in an area of town that's starting to become developed and get more attention for incredible, local businesses. Love it! I was immediately impressed by how friendly both our hostess and server were. They knew their stuff, had smiles on their faces and were incredibly helpful. Bonus points! The interior was gorgeous too. With sparkly pink seats, neon signs and an old-fashioned-diner atmosphere, we felt good just being there. I ordered a single smashburger with lettuce, onion and tomato, and a side of fries. I also got the white BBQ sauce for the fries and that was the star of the show!! The burger was pretty good (next time I want to try the double smashburger for more meat) and while thicker fries are more my jam, they were great to dip into our yummy chocolate milkshake. The boozy milkshakes sound great too and you can get the key lime shake if you want to opt for no dairy. read more

This place is so cute! Love the retro aesthetic and colorful, whimsical vibes. Fun boozy adult milkshakes and the best crispy Buffalo chicken sandwich I've had yet!

Prior to dinner, my dinner mate asked, "Where's your favorite veggie burger in town?" My response was a local, popular burger joint. Now, Baby's has taken the spot. First off, their designers did an amazing job at taking this place from dingy, dark, gross nightclub to dainty, pink, and Instagram-worthy restaurant. It's retro with modern touches - very fun. The staff are all very, very friendly as well. I hadn't been in before, and they were very informative (without being overwhelming) about suggestions, what their known for, their favorites, etc. I opted for the BYO veggie burger. The veggie burger is made from black beans and sweet potatoes. You get a nice touch of smokiness, which really ups the flavor, making it my new fave veggie patty in the city. (PS - chefs - if you're a local restaurant and you're still using Impossible Burgers or another frozen plant-based veggie patty - c'mon, you need to up your game.) Along with the burger, we got a chocolate milkshake to split and an order of fries to split with a delicious dipping sauce. The food was all spectacular. That being said, my thrifty side will say that it's easy to spend $20+ a person at this joint as everything is a la carte and we didn't even order boozy shakes. The prices add up quite quickly here, which is a little frustrating as I won't frequent this place as often as I'd like to, but it's still one of my new favorite restaurants in the city. Great job, Baby's! read more

It was a perfect, sunny, fall day so I decided to check out Baby's patio. Baby's is located on the corner of Talbott and 22nd Street with the entrance on Talbott. Street parking is available along with two empty lots directly across from the entrance. I've been avoiding downtown because of parking but no current parking issues here. The interior is adorable decorated in pinks, cute accessories, a large mural, a large Baby's neon light behind the bar with several tables, banquette booths and bar or patio seating. I sat on the shaded patio which I found very comfortable with tables thoughtfully laid out and it doesn't feel cramped and congested. The patio drapes blowing over my table made for several laughable moments though. The menu is fairly simple with Smash Burgers as their speciality but you'll find options from a veggie burger, grilled or broasted chicken, a salad and sides. Alcohol wise there is beer (ONLY in cans and bottles), wine, shots and several types of signature cocktails with cute names. The owner created the recipes for the Cocktails on Draft and there's a full bar with oodles of spirits. Again, no beer on draft since cocktails are on draft. What's fun and different are the boozy milkshakes offered with strawberry, chocolate or their seasonal flavor. I ordered one of the Cocktails on Draft, For The Gods, made with 3 types of rum, dry curacao, orgeat, and lime plus it's not overly sweet. If you enjoy rum you'll most likely enjoy this drink. Smash burgers run from a single to triple ($8-$14) or add even yet another patty for additional $3 and all served on a vegan bun. I love toppings and sauces and Baby's has some of my favorites. Most toppings are free except for mango chutney, sauteed mushrooms (.50 extra) and bacon ($1) on any sandwich. Add as many or few toppings and sauces as you prefer from the list. Other menu options is the Broasted Chicken (whole 8 pieces, half 4 pieces or 2 piece cutlets) or a large salad with or without protein. The tender, marinated grilled chicken sandwich was amazing topped with a generous amount of phenomenal carmelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, smoked gouda cheese and pickled jalapenos. So messy but I loved the layer of sweet and savory flavors. I was curious about the white bbq sauce so I ordered on the side for my sandwich. The sauce was so tasty I ended up using as a dipping sauce for my fries. The white bbq sauce is a horseradish base and very flavorful. The fries are similar to McDonalds, lightly crispy, seasoned only with salt and pepper and hot and fresh. There's an option to glitz up the fries with bacon, cheese sauce, white BBQ sauce and jalapenos for just an extra $2. Maybe next time. Sides are ala carte at $4 with fries, mac & cheese, sriracha broccoli slaw, veggies, side salad and corn bread. The little 4 1/2 yr old girl sitting at the next table gave the mac and cheese high praise while her little sister quietly tore into the naked chicken tenders. This is a family friendly restaurant with a kids menu available and changing tables in the cute, gender neutral, large restrooms with roller doors. Checkout the fun wallpaper. My server, Camyrn I think?, was also the bartender who took excellent care of me. She explained the menu, many drinks, the boozy milkshakes and several suggestions thoroughly. Even tending bar she checked on me frequently and maintained her fun, outgoing personality while running back and forth. Overall, parking was super simple, my food was a solid 5, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing plus my server was top-notch. A 5 star experience with no complaints but I'm saving 5 stars till I see consistency on the next visit. read more
