    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

    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.

    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

    Chicken and Waffles

    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.

    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.

    We had such a wonderful experience at The Bestie's Table! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the banana nut French toast flight with chicken, and it was amazing. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant itself had such a clean, bright, and welcoming ambiance that made the whole experience even better. Our server, Courtney, was phenomenal, super attentive, quick, and genuinely kind throughout our visit. The owner/chef was also incredibly sweet and accommodating, which really made us feel valued as guests. Overall, this place exceeded expectations, and we will definitely be back again soon!

    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!

    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!

    Shrimp grits gumbo and biscuit with gravy

    Went for brunch and checked in at 1145a. The hostess told me hour. Hours lasted got seated . Waitress asked for our drink orders then came B back 10mins without drinks asked were we ready to order out entree. We place our food order waited another 15mins and our drinks finally came. Waited another 15 minutes for our entree. Total of hour to receive food. We ordered chicken waffle, shrimp and grits gumbo, and biscuit and gravy. My friends said the waffle , biscuits and chicken were good. The shrimp and grits gumbo was not to my liking. They were runny and shrimp was overcooked So I asked for another entree and they told me no kitchen is closed but in another new shrimp. I declined and was Very disappointed. I've waited 2 hours with no food and bad customer.

    Really unfortunate experience and really hope they get better in light of recent negative reviews. However, my friend and I got there at 12:40 and they said it was an hour and a half wait so we left and went to a different establishment while we waited on them to text us. They texted us "thanks for allowing us to serve you etc" we were puzzled because we were never served. We went back and they said they had texted us that our table was ready and we showed them we never got it. They ended up seating us anyway at the bar. Upon sitting at the bar I immediately notice how messy it was on their bar countertops with cleaning supplies, the workers Stanley cups positioned where patrons can see, super unsanitary. Also we were right next to the kitchen which is open and saw the workers eating without gloves on as they are preparing the food.. one even had a half drank Starbucks latte in the middle of two plates he was actively preparing... like what?! Not only that but we waited all that time for them to tell us nearly everything on the menu was SOLD OUT!!! Grrrrr!!!! I really hope they get it together. It was beyond disappointing and we had one drink, and left.

Light, Dark and naked wings. I will start with sides. The greens, better than I ever had including AL, MS, LA and TN. Slaw was classic LA. Good, I am vinger slaw guy. Now for the chicken. First and foremost the medium is no joke HOT. Anyone can make something hot. But the flavor of the hotness is world class. Whatever they do, (brine whatever) the flavor is deep in the meat, including the breast. Absolutely fantastic. My only advice is if you find a raw jalapeno to hot, go one level down in spice. Unless you can set an eat raw Serranos, don't pay .$50 to go spicier. Who would have thought, amazing hot chicken, Indy.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

I would've rather grown a chicken, killed it for some wings, made a hat with its feathers and made sensory toys with its eyes The buns were probably the best part. The lettuce was cut smaller than you could ever imagine, the chicken had a good amount but tasted like it was drowned in Franks Red Hot Sauce. The tomato was a tomato This isn't all the restaurant though. The other times I visited here were AMAZING The times I sat in the big room were good because, there were TVs to save my boredom, the built in chargers were neat, and the food was just better!

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.

We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!
