    French toast flight
    Erin Q.

    I was excited to try this as I was staying downtown the night before so was much closer to it. What an adorable place! Quickly and warmly greeted upon entering, we were led to our table and our server was just as friendly! I couldn't decide so they recommended I try the French toast flight and get the maple garlic wings and so glad I did! Those wings were perfection!! I was so excited to try them that I forgot to take a pic first!! Eek!! So there were six in my order to start! I also really enjoyed the French toast flight, but quickly was getting full, so I finished my favorite piece which was the banana nut, followed by the blueberry, and I took the strawberry and peach one home to finish with the rest of the wings. My husband chose the sausage gravy which came with the eggs, the potatoes, the biscuits, basically all the food because he chose the upgrade. I took a small bite of the gravy and I have to say it was definitely some of the best sausage gravy I've had in a restaurant. I'm very picky when it comes to my sausage gravy and I would definitely have ordered it. Their drink menu looked fantastic, but we were there pretty early and just wanted coffee, which was also very good. They do have a small attached parking lot and it can be pretty tight, but we were lucky enough to get a spot in the parking lot. I would recommend this place to anyone near or far in the Indianapolis area, would definitely go back!

    I arrive around 10:15 on a Saturday morning because I heard there is a wait. Got there put my name on the list while my friend arrived. The host was nice and welcoming. There wasn alot of parking but there is street parking. I think I only waited about 20 minutes before getting seating at the bar. I liked that they had hooks for purses but my purse was a little heavy for the hook. Our "bestie" at the bar could have been a little warmer but she was fine otherwise. The menu was available both digitally and on paper. I ordered a half order of hot honey wings to start and they were very good. My Peach Dont Kill My Vibe was good. The only major issue I had at this restaurant was when my drink was made. I watched my "bestie" put the stir spoon for my drink on the bar counter and then use the same spoon to mix my friend's drink. I don't know how often the bar counter is cleaned so it was just the one thing that took away from the experience. Moving on to the loaded biscuits and gravy, that meal was worth every penny. You can tell someone put love in that gravy. The biscuits were nice as well, it was like cutting through butter. I took half home and ate the rest the following day. It tasted even better in my opinion. The only thing is I wonder if I could ask for a more baked biscuit. Overall, I shall return to Besties Table. It was so good and I got my money's. I wish the owner the very best in this endeavor!

    Besties Table!!!! Yall did yall thing! Loved everything and will be back! The ambiance is perfect! The r&b music that plays has you wanting to sing along to every tune! I ordered The Blueberry Boss drink and it was super cute!!!! I couldn't get over it! And taste really good!!! My husband loves a good mule and ordered their version. I'm not a mule drink lover but I thought this mule was the best one I've tasted! Then for food we ordered: -gumbo grits: amazing! Came out piping hot and topped with shrimp and gumbo. Would love some sweet honey cornbread to go with it! -French toast flight: seriously the best French toast I've ever ordered. It was thick without being dry and didn't have any mushy inside. -lemon honey wings: so good! Never thought of lemon pepper and honey together but it works! I will definitely be back to try the biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffles! This is a great spot to come solo, with friends, or a cute brunch date! We got there at 8:45am on a Saturday and were able to get seated right away.

    My family planned a visit to Besties Table for a Sunday Funday, and overall it was a decent experience! We anticipated a wait (about an hour). Once seated, it took a little while for our server to greet us, but when she did, she was pleasant and walked us through the menu. We did have to ask for a drink menu, and our beverages took about 20-25 minutes to arrive, which was a bit of a delay but again totally expected that for a newer spot still finding its rhythm. The food came out in waves, and we ordered a variety: honey hot wings, lemon bay wings, chicken and waffles, French toast, gumbo grits, and biscuits and gravy. The flavors were really good! The only hiccup was the shrimp in the gumbo, which seemed a bit overcooked, so we sent it back. We weren't able to order a replacement dish and didn't get much context around that, other than it would take away from other customers, not really sure what that meant. The R&B playlist was a great touch and added to the atmosphere, though at times it was a little hard. All in all, the potential here is there. The food was good and the portions were solid. Most of the challenges we experienced felt like normal growing pains for a newer restaurant, and I'm sure they'll smooth things out as they continue to settle in. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back in a few months to see how they grow. Pros: Great-tasting food, good portion sizes, friendly staff Cons: Delays with food and drinks, ran out of some items (deviled eggs), could benefit from food runners and a better sound system

    Shrimp and grits

    We just heard about Bestues Table today, it's been opened for 3 weeks. It has great seating both counter and tables. The shrimp and grits and chicken wings are phenomenal!!! Drawbacks-limited parking -and we had to wait an hour to get water. They did bring us complimentary chicken wings-again phenomenal!! I highly recommend. They close at 2:30 pm

    From the moment I walked in it didn't feel like a business it feels like ur going to someone's place to hang out. The service is incredible our waitress Courtney was so friendly, she is knowledgeable of the menu, she provided wonderful recommendations, which I love. N the food OMG the Food is definitely the star of the show. I love how the kitchen is set up almost like an apartment kitchen. The drinks are beautiful tasting and pack a punch. Just an all around great experience. And ai havent even gotten to the DJ that gave me a birthday shout out while playing great music. And the owner was kind enough to snap a photo with me. Just the best experience and dont short yourself when u go get the deviled eggs and thank me later!!!!!!!!

    My husband and I came here for breakfast. We were unsure if they were kid friendly so we asked and they are! They had a high chair for our son. The staff were very friendly and quick. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer which were super delicious- creamy and flavorful. You don't often think of deviled eggs for breakfast but it worked. I got the chicken and waffles and my husband got the French toast flight. I enjoyed the flavor and crispiness of the wings. My husband really enjoyed the French toast as well. The coffee was good and they provide water carafes for the table. I enjoyed the service, food and atmosphere so I will go back.

    Food and Drink: Had The Besties' Table for brunch yesterday (Saturday)! A wonderful new spot for Indianapolis with high-quality food that DELIVERS! Our table started out with the lemon bay wings and the besties deviled eggs. At first bite....I could the wings were seasoned and THEY WERE WONDERFUL! Lightly glazed and not overly messy nor sticky, full of flavor and FRESH, very CRISPY! The deviled eggs were also flavorful. We had our topped with bacon but I wish we would have went with the shrimp (as my main dish came with bacon). At this point my expectations were high! My main dish was the All American version of the Biscuits & Gravy. Hands down the best biscuits I've ever had!!!The biscuits were fluffy, the bacon was seasoned, potatoes crispy, the eggs were soft and also fluffy, and the gravy....PHENOMENAL! You could taste the hearty southern flavor throughout the dish....the gravy sealed the deal! To drink, I had the Blueberry Boss - it was sooooo good! I'm a sucker for sweet drinks so this was up my alley. It wasn't overly strong and was a wonderfully styled drink. All of their drinks looked good on the menu so I would get this again or try a different drink! I cannot wait to revisit again!!! Customer Service: Ari was our waitress and she was a joy! We were checked on us consistently and she was never overbearing. She was knowledgeable of the grand opening menu and was able to provide great recommendations based on what previous customers had enjoyed. She provided great service and I look forward to having her in the future! Ambiance: This place is lively! Everyone is free to come as they are, but I would tell anyone to show up for brunch vibes! There was a DJ during my visit and the place was rocking with R&B and hip-hop while everyone was enjoying their meals. This place is perfect for a small get together (party of 4 or 6 max). I had a wonderful first visit and look forward to introduce friends, family and fraternity brothers in the future! Thank you Besties table!!

    This is a cute space. The food was delicious and our server was super sweet! We were seated, served drinks, and fed within 45 mins. We decided to go on a Wednesday to celebrate my birthday. Parking was the only challenge we had, the parking lot of a little small. I was able to circle and grab a spot of someone leaving. Overall I would go back. I'll be excited to see when/if they expand the menu.

    Hot Honey Wings... 10/10  no need to use the ranch

    As long as you do not mind the wait and the parking, the food was absolutely delicious! As a startup, you have to be patient with the kinks but I would highly recommend and plan to be back! We sat at the bar table, which was nice but was a tad crowded.One less chair would probably get the job done. However the food, the service was spot on.

    Worth every second of the hour wait time!!! I can see them quickly outgrowing this cozy cute space! The Bestie's Table was packed when we arrived, but the time passed quickly as you get acquainted with your new "besties" you're waiting next to by the front door. It was raining when we went, so waiting outside wasn't an option, lol. But DJ Rubyana had the hits playing! FYI: You have THREE minutes to check in once they call you. Ari was our server and she was FABULOUS! Although, she delivered some bad news as we were settling in... They were out of deviled eggs! I was SO heartbroken. BUT my girl pulled through! About 10 minutes later she came back and said she could slide an order to us! The Bacon and Chives Deviled Eggs were delicioussss! I can see why they were sold out! The Lemon Bay Chicken wings... Also, A MUST! They are crispy, seasoned perfectly, and arrived hot. I ordered the All-American Biscuits & Gravy. The biscuits were smothered in flavorful turkey sausage gravy topped with scrambled eggs, bacon, and (crispy) breakfast potatoes. The portion size was generous. Circling back to our server, Ari... she was personable, friendly, and attentive throughout our dining experience! The experience at The Bestie's Table was 9/10. As for any new restaurants, they are still working out the kinks, please give them grace. Parking can be hectic, but I can't wait to return once the full menu is released!

    Let me go ahead and say this now--The Besties Table did NOT come to play... they came to feed your soul. ‍ -- This is the kind of spot where every single plate hits and you're side-eyeing your table like "wait... why didn't I order that too?" -- Let's start with the deviled eggs topped with shrimp because WOW. Creamy, flavorful, with that perfect balance of sweet and savory--and the shrimp on top just took it over the edge. My best friend doesn't even like deviled eggs and said she could eat these all day. That tells you everything you need to know‍ -- Now the gumbo grits??? BABYYYYY. As someone who loves gumbo and grits, I was already intrigued but the way they brought those flavors together?? Incredible. Rich, seasoned to perfection, comforting but still packed with bold flavor. That dish alone is worth the trip. -- Then came the French toast flight and I'm still not over it. You get FOUR different flavors, and I'm telling you right now...don't even try to pick a favorite. I couldn't. Every single one had its own personality, perfectly balanced, sweet without being overwhelming, and just straight up GOOD. -- And listen... the hot honey chicken wings?? Yeah... those had to come home with me because there was no way I was leaving them behind. Crispy, saucy, with that sweet heat that just keeps you going back for another bite. Dangerous in the best way. And I've NEVER had hot honey wings before either so I'm fan now! I want hot honey on ERRRTHING -- To wash it all down, we got the mimosa bottle with mango peach syrup and let me just say....HIT. -- Smooth, refreshing, and the perfect brunch pairing. The whole experience felt like good food, good energy, and a place made for real moments with your people. -- If you're in Indy and haven't been here yet... fix that. Immediately!!!!!!

    I see I'm first to review, so I must make it good. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Located just off the west end of the University of Indianapolis ( U of I ) on Shelby Street just south of Hannah AVE. I first learned of Besties from the Travelingfoodieguyde on IG and he gave rave reviews. I had to check it out for myself. That all said, we visited Besties on Easter morning at noon and the parking lot was full and so was the restaurant. 45min wait for a table but immediate seating at the counter which we took. The help staff makes you feel welcomed, appreciated and like you're family. The one thing I liked was that the place had a feel or atmosphere like you're visiting an out of town place. Beautifully decorated with warm colors, lighting, different whatnots on shelves like the 'Breakfast Bible' and other things. You could see the owner chef Tyler William's in the back directing and orchestrating what chefs do. His oldest brother and mother apart of the staff to make all things come together for good! One TV screen mounted close towards the kitchen area ran the news while the one closest to the entrance had nice gospel music playing. A nice touch for a Sunday morning for sure. The food was so so good, no great! The lady who sat next to me told me that we may have to wait a bit for our food but it'll be well worth the wait and she told no lie. It was fantastic! I'm one who doesn't eat red meat or pork, so to have my favorite biscuits with turkey gravy, 2 eggs scrambled with potatoes was delicious! The eggs were so light and airy, the gravy was a nice consistency, great tasting biscuits and the potatoes had steam coming from them like I've never seen before and they were of a soft, yet slight crisp skin and seasoned well. My wife had the Belgian Waffle since French Toast was sold out. She loved the waffle as did I enjoy my dish. We both also had a couple of cocktails as we waited for our meal. My wife enjoyed a Mogul Mule while I had the best Old Fashioned I've ever had in my 69yrs on this planet! As I told Cierra who served us and made my drink before me, "all I needed was a good Cuban cigar to go along with this drink." People were consistently coming in while we were there and it was around 2pm guest entering were told what wasn't available on the menu but they could still be seated if that was okay, but at 2:15 pm guest entering were told they couldn't be accommodated, apologized to and asked to please come back again. It is my understanding this was like the first week of full business and it was a huge success and from a personal opinion, I think, feel, believe and hope they'll succeed exceedingly and abundantly beyond all expectations, which leads to maybe a larger location. I'm really expecting great things from Besties Table Breakfast and Brunch. Will I be back? ABSOLUTELY! I see visiting this establishment weekday mornings, and if you plan to make a weekend visit, go early and enjoy the atmosphere and esthetics of the restaurant, you may even see a notable celebrity, public figure or professional athlete as I did. Also I got an order of the much talked about lemon wings to go and they were fantastic, even the next day! Much success and blessings to Tyler, family and staff in this endeavor!

I definitely appreciated that they weren't constantly approaching me, but they read my cues with knowing when I was ready to order or needed something. I was really pleased with the service that I received. The menu had a mixture of American comfort food as well as classic Southern dishes. I took several glances at the food other were ordering and they all looked so appealing and appetizing. I decided to order something that I haven't tried anywhere else, so I ordered the Southern Shakshuka, which is their own unique spin-off to the original.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

I will cut some slack on the service, however - I arrives after what seems to have been a very atypical rush of Journey fans who inundated the place before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

It's right next to a concert venue.we got tickets to several concerts. Don't know if every customer gets that or it was only for the yelp event. event. I am interested in having brunch next time. Overall pretty good and fun night out. Don't think it would make Guy's pick list tho :)

    We went to Easy Rider Dinet for dinner and it was just as good as brunch! Customer service 10 out…read moreof 10. Food 10 out of 10 ambience 10 out of 10. Easy Rider Diner is easily in my top 20 restaurants. The food is always amazing. If you think you have had steak fries before you really need to try theirs because they are out of this world. So many flavors going on, all complementing each other. The jalapeño cornbread was really good as well. It's a huge portion!

    We were looking for a good place near the convention center and stumbled here. It's a regional…read more'chain' in 4 cities in the U.S. The inside (especially the line of small tables for two) reminded me of an egg carton. The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!

I also got a side of egg whites, but they were cooked in that butter spray and didn't taste fresh. The cheesy grits were OK but not very flavorful. I also got a Matcha, but it was pretty watery about a two out of five stars. I will note that the service was good and the staff was friendly.

The restaurant features an extensive drink menu that will suite anyone's pallet. We chose to start with the bread service which was killer especially the honey butter. All of the apps look d amazing but went for the dry rub duck wings with home made ranch. My only critic was I wish there were more than 3. Finished off with the shrimp and grits. Although, I wasn't in New Orleans the spiciness took me back there. The wait staff was great. Even though we were late for the reservation we were seated promptly and had multiple people taking care of us. Spoke & Steele is a must if you are staying in the hotel but also if you want a cool vibe for drinks and great food I would stop by and take a look.

The seating? Intimate. The lighting? Soft. The whole space feels like a quiet luxury moment tucked right into the city. Now let's talk about what REALLY matters, the food. The shrimp & grits??? Listen... this wasn't just a dish, this was an EXPERIENCE. The grits were creamy, smooth, and perfectly rich, but that sauce layered on top?? Whew. Flavor on flavor on flavor. You've got that deep, savory, slightly smoky profile with juicy shrimp, sausage, and those pickled onions cutting through everything with the perfect tang. Every bite felt intentional. Like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. And can we talk about how beautiful it was plated?? Because yes, I absolutely appreciated the aesthetics before I even picked up my fork. Paired it with a simple coffee moment, sitting by the window, and honestly... it felt like a reset. Not rushed, not loud, just good food, good atmosphere, and a chance to actually enjoy it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that feels a little more elevated, a little more intentional, and delivers on both flavor and experience. This is it. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back!!!

    FLAVORFUL RESTAURANT IN A HIP PART OF INDY…read more======================================== My daughter-in-law recommended Bluebeard for dinner on Monday, June 22, 2026. I would have to say this restaurant is my favorite in Indy right now after one meal. Most of the things we shared were amazing and for a complete description please refer to my photo of the menu. We ordered the following: Burrata with Amelia's bread as an appetizer which was delicious. Gem Salad - This was amazing and I could eat it every day of the week. Stacci house made pasta - This was a big hit and I would order this every time. Hanger Steak - My husband, aka the picky eater, loved it. I didn't try it, but everyone seemed to like it. Chicken with a few dumplings - We all loved this. Three desserts to share: a cheesecake with fruit on top, one a bread pudding and a chocolate crisp. I ordered a delicious Monsoon Season cocktail with song cai vietnamese gin, cocchi americano, st. george thai basil eau de vie, elderflower, lemon and basil oil. My son and I also ordered glasses of Port after dinner. The service was great and I loved that they were playing really good rock music like Soundgarden and others. There are lots of antique typewriters above the bar and a cool print of Kurt Vonnegut by the bathrooms. I am looking forward to going again the next time my husband and I are in Indy visiting my son and daughter-in-law unless they move out of state.

    Bluebeard was my pick for my birthday dinner and for good reason. The restaurant has a laid back…read moreand quirky vibe and is literary themed. Themed around Indy native Kurt Vonnegut, you'll see old typewriters, books, and names of menu items paying tribute to the famous author. The menu feels high class but the atmosphere and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. You could dress up for a special occasion or come in casual every day wear and either fit in just fine. Their ever changing menu featuring local produce and meats is always unique, inventive, and most importantly, delicious. Their cocktail list is one of the best and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an extensive mocktail list as well. Their sodas and syrups are all house-made which means every drink is full of fresh flavors. I had a lemon pasta dish an my husband ordered the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and composed of flavors and textures that complimented each other perfectly. There's nothing that wouldn't be good on their menu because you can tell the chefs are exceptional as well as the ingredients they choose. I really can't say enough good things about this place, it remains one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal and no matter what I choose, I'm never disappointed.

Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Food: lame Price: expensive!…read moreService: not friendly Atmosphere: SUPER WEIRD... dimly lit, Deer-butt wallpaper and clowns??? My husband and I had never been here before and the lady at the counter was less than friendly. She did tell us the menu was on the other wall. My husband got a Diet Coke that came in a can and we both got a classic plate minus the toast. 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties... nothing special including the presentation. The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.
