Food & service were great. We were helped by the whole staff. Sat at the bar & the chairs were super squeaky but that was the only downside.

Double date here a couple weeks ago and it was such a nice time :) I got a Cajun style pasta dish and it was delicious! 10/10. I also got this orange martini and it was so good.

4 Side Buffalo Sauce..

I ordered blue cheese TWO times through doordash. The first time I just thought maybe someone read the ticket wrong so i placed a second order just for blue cheese sauce & again they sent me buffalo sauce. I tried calling multiple times and there was no answer.

Bar Louie's-Carmel offers great vibes on a Friday or Saturday night! We went in and sat at the bar. There's TVs available to watch sports and the DJ starts at 10 pm. There's a small dance floor area in front of the DJ area. There was no cover change. After a certain time, they do card to get in. I didn't grab any food this time, but I did grab a wildberry margarita. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but still a tasty drink. I'll definitely be back.

Bar Louie in Carmel is one of my go-to spots when I was a chill spot to have a drink and/or enjoy some really good food and watch some sports without breaking the bank! My go to is usually the sliders (salmon or cheeseburger) but there's literally not a miss on the menu. Have always had great servers & bartenders! Best one & by far my favorite is Ashley F! If you ever stop in & are lucky enough to get her, you'll know why!

Not my first time here but was the first time for brunch. $3 mimosas hit the spot. Our server was new but that was cool she ended up doing a great job. They don't have a lot of breakfast items to choose from but what we did have was great. We will be back soon I'm sure.

We went to the mixology class upstairs, it's out on by the manager and a bartender. We paid $50/person and we got to make 4 drinks which was totally worth it! I would make sure you eat first because they do not skimp on these recipes! My husband and I went and we had a blast. I hope they do another one soon because it was such an awesome experience. The place was so pretty and decorated for Christmas. I took so many photos because I had such an amazing time and I wanted to prove that I made these drinks!

Went to Bar Louie on a Friday night to watch the NCAA. We sat in the bar area. Plenty of TVs and all turned to one or more of the games. Lots of patrons and a very fun atmosphere. The entire bar was yelling and into the games. I got the beef sliders from the Bar Bites menu. I have to say, they were one of the best things I've ever eaten at Bar Louie. The bacon onion jam was wonderful. I'd definitely get them again. My wife got the Street Tacos, blackened shrimp. They were ok but we've had better elsewhere. They were served in 2 corn tortillas. The taste of the corn tortilla overpowered everything else, in our opinion. Not much flavor other than that. We would not get them again .., we'd try something different or both get the beef sliders! The food was served quickly. Particularly with how busy they were. It was also nice and hot. Service was good ... almost too good. The server kept coming back every 4-5 minutes to ask if all was ok and if we needed anything. Normally we really appreciate such great attentiveness. But we were there to also watch the game this time! LOL. Even though it was disruptive, they get an A+ for effort. And in other establishments, on a busy tv sport night, you maybe would never be able to even catch the wait staff when needed. So, an appreciated constant disruption? As always with me, I look for a deal. So, of course, I had a discount coupon. Our bill was accurate and the server handled the discount without issue. She was well trained with a good understanding. We will return.

It has been a while since I have been to Bar Louie for drinks and appetizers for Happy Hour, but I have always enjoyed coming here for a glass of wine and an appetizer. Our Indy Wine Meetup group came here for the Happy Hour special from 4-7 on where you can get half off cocktails and wine and certain appetizers as well. We had the upstairs area of the bar reserved for our group and had two servers take care of us. The servers did a phenomenal job with our group and took very good care of us the entire night. We received excellent customer service. The wine list was decent and the cocktails looked wonderful. I ordered a glass of Meimoni Pinot Noir and a glass of Tribute Pinot Noir and a couple appetizers to share with some people. The wine was excellent and pure quality. The chicken tenders and spinach and artichoke dip with chips were wonderful as well. The flatbreads are also half price during Happy Hour and they are well worth it. The truffle and asparagus flatbread is amazing. The ambiance is very laid back and comfortable for a casual night out with friends for a drink. There was some confusion with the bill because the server said the gratuity was included with our price, so when I closed out my bill, I did not add any additional gratuity since I was under the impression that the gratuity was included in the price. When I looked at my receipt, I did not see the gratuity. Some other people in our group had issues with their bill because it did not show the half off discount on the appetizers. Ashley, the manager, was kind enough to fix the issue and take care of their bills. However, I do feel bad about the servers not getting gratuity because they did work hard and did such an excellent job tonight with our group. Hopefully, we can get this worked out the next time we come here for Happy Hour so I can make it up to the staff with a nice gratuity tip. Bar Louie is a great place for drinks and appetizers, and would highly recommend everyone check this out in Carmel. Everything is wonderful about Bar Louie.

Gastroburger with side tater tots and a lemon drop martini
Naomi E.

Went here on a Saturday evening. The hostess was pretty rude, she led me to my table, threw the menus down, and walked off without saying a word..... Thankfully our waitress was sweet and attentive which made our dining experience better. It was pretty busy and more on the loud side as expected for a Saturday night. They have many TVs to enjoy. I had the Gastroburger with tots, it was really good. I also had a lemon drop martini which was ok.

Cesar salad. You an see the extra chicken on the appetizer plate that was not removed
Suzanne K.

Had dinner last night. It was our first time at Bar Louie and probably our last. When we first arrived there was a slight wait. We were greeted by "How many?" and asked if we wanted a high top. We were fine with that and although high tops were empty, she told she would take us to a table. We were seated at the worst table in the whole place. Completely empty. No dining service, flatware or cocktail napkins, no salt and pepper completely empty. Wait for it, looking directly into the restrooms. I can tell you, men use the restroom more than women, and when they came out I was looking, not by choice, directly into their eyes. Pretty embarrassing for them and for me. 15 minutes went by and our waiter sauntered over. ? Want some water? "Yes, but we would like some drinks are you our server? "Yes, let me get you some water". And so it went. Ordered dirty martini and lemon drop. Both sat at the bar and were not served icy. As a matter of fact, we ordered calamari and it was served at least 5 minutes ahead of our drinks. Aside from the fact they were not icy we both enjoyed our drinks. The calamari was awesome and had fried peppers also. Yummy. We should have stopped there. I had the Cesar salad. The menu said it was grilled lettuce with a vinaigrette I added fried chicken. No vignette, saucy mayo style dressing and I could not tell if the romaine had been grilled. A ton of fried chicken pieces. ( I brought home at least 20 pieces). I asked for a coke when I ordered my salad. It did not come. I reminded our server and just before we got up, I got the coke. ( Good thing he served the water) My husband ordered the chicken sandwich with spicy honey and enjoyed it. He ordered a beer at the same time. He got his beer before his dinner, good. I reminded the beer server about the coke. Well you know how that turned out With tip our bill came to just about $100 Like I said, if we go back, I will refuse this table and sit at the bar. We were there about 3 hours totaled and saw our waiter 5 times. Water, order, check back, bring coke, serve bill. If the staff should read this, at the very least use this as a last resort table or turn it sideways. I am sure many of your customers dining and or using the facilities,would agree.

Cheese Steak Dip... yum!

I wanted something simple so I just ordered the chicken fingers combo with fries. The menu is very extensive with burgers, sandwiches, and entrees as well.

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.

Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

The service is consistently great, and the food never disappoints. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which are some of the best you'll find in the Indianapolis area--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The biscuits and gravy are a must-order. The biscuits taste freshly made, and you can really tell the restaurant prioritizes high-quality, farm-to-table ingredients. It's easily my go-to recommendation every time I visit. The ambiance is another highlight--intimate, cute, and welcoming. Even when it's busy, it never feels too loud or overwhelming. It's perfect for a casual date, catching up with friends, or even enjoying a solo meal with your laptop. Grindstone is truly a versatile spot that always delivers.

This was a great burger place, and we would highly recommend in the future!…read more We arrived for a late lunch with a party of 5, and even though the restaurant was full we were seated promptly. Service was great and we started with the soft pretzel - three came in another and it was served with beer cheese and spicy mustard. They were the long pretzels and our teens loved them. They mostly have burgers but you can sub chicken or impossible burgers for any option or create your own. They also had a few chicken sandwich options. We ordered the pimento jalapeño burger (bacon, fried onion, pickled jalapeño and BBQ) with fresh cut fries and chicken sandwich with fries. The fries are fresh cut and were fresh and delicious - would probably go back just for the fries! The Chicken tenders was the real show stealer - it came with 6+ tenders and was a huge meal. We will definitely be back!

I have now made my husband a fan too, and he doesn't even like chicken tenders. I also enjoy the Garlic Three-Cheese Burger, but the tenders have my heart. I keep returning for this sole reason. I often order them to-go and the carry-out process just isn't as smooth as it once was. You can place your order for curbside pick-up, but the two times that I've done this, nobody ever came out. When I go inside to pick-up, I'm sent to an area near a door and a carry-out sign. Often times, there is nobody manning this "station", so I've stood there hoping that someone would ask me if I've been helped. Years ago, the bar handled to-go orders, and this was a much smoother process. I've dined in a few times and the service, and our experiences were just okay. The bar is generally kept very dimly lit, and the main dining room feels quite bright in contrast. The decor, or lack thereof, is blah. I maintain, however, that the chicken tenders are still the bee's knees!
