Great customer service. The restaurant and bathroom were both clean. Not a lot of parking but we found a spot. Not many vegetarian options but I made it work. My sister loved the chicken. The grits were not my favorite. Make sure to check them out if you're in the area..

Worth the wait! Came here on a hot summer day during the weekend, so there was a long wait (to be expected since they don't take reservations), but their process is very good and our wait ended up being shorter than expected. Service was great and all the suggestions were perfect. We absolutely enjoyed everything we ordered and even the drinks were delicious. Will be back and hope they are around for a long time! My only wish is that they expand the space or add reservations so that the wait won't be as long!

Amazing food! I finally got to try this place. Keep hearing great things. The chicken was bomb!! Perfectly cooked. The French toast was also great. I would have liked more of the icing drizzle. Maybe a crust/crisp for the cobbler part. The deviled eggs were good to me and the hot honey shrimp gave an interesting flavor. The sidecar did what it was supposed to do. Service was a little slow at the beginning but after that the food came out quick. I thought we'd be waiting a while since ordering took time. Everything on the menu looks good. I would like to try the breakfast bowl next time. It is small inside hence the long wait times you may experience. I went on a Tuesday at 1230pm and got the last open table. It seems to stay busy no matter the time of day or day of the week. Parking was rough but I parked at the church parking lot hoping it was okay since it seemed nothing was going on.

Chicken and waffles

The Bestietable is still creating a lot of chatter around the city. And if you've been you know why!! There is not a bad thing on the menu. The drinks are fire! The service is top tier and they have new items all the time. It's a small spot but I've never waited more than 20 mins on a busy day! Go check it out ASAP!

This is exactly what the city needed! The food, service & vibe was all 10/10. We had an hour wait but was seated in about 45 mins. We didn't mind because it was expected considering it's a smaller establishment & they don't take reservations. It was worth the wait! We shared the honey hot wings, they were so fresh AND hot. We also got the Rich Bestie mimosa package. It came w/ a bottle of Prosecco & two juices of your choice. Cooln had the French toast & chicken, he rated it 10/10. His words, "I'm satisfied" as he cleaned his plate lol. I had the catfish & grits, I would rate it an 8.5/10 only because my grits were warm & I like my food really hot. I left full and satisfied. The music was the cherry on top! The Dj was spinning all of the hits. We enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll be back because the French toast flight is calling my name!

Deviled eggs with bacon and chives
Jasmine L.

I was so excited to finally try Besties Table after hearing so many great things, and now I can confidently say the hype is deserved! The restaurant is on the smaller side, but it's warm, cozy, and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was impressively fast. The menu isn't huge, but don't let that fool you, you'll have no trouble finding something you'll love. In fact, I had a hard time narrowing down my choices because everything sounded so good! I decided on the chicken and waffles with the lemon chicken, along with the deviled eggs topped with bacon and chives. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and the combination of the bright lemon flavor with the sweetness of the waffle was incredible. The waffle itself was cooked perfectly. And the deviled eggs? They tasted just like the ones your favorite aunt brings to the family cookout! The bacon and chives took them to the next level and are definitely worth adding. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Great food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere. My husband and I will definitely be back, and I can see this becoming one of our regular brunch spots!

The bathroom
Kelsey C.

For whatever reason, the only picture that saved to my camera roll was me in the bathroom lol. We went on Sunday and were quoted about 40 minutes Wait time. We got a text that said our table was ready after 45 min and when we go up to the hostess, they said it was a mistake and it would be 15 more minutes. It ended up being 20. So I think we waited a little over an hour before we actually got to sit down. They had a DJ and it was very loud. I'm not sure if they have a DJ all the time or if it was just on Sunday. But me and the tablemates had to yell at each other to be able to have a conversation. All that being said, it was good vibes! The inside is absolutely stunningly beautifully decorated. I love all of the live plants. The bathrooms were top-tier. A lot of love, care and thought went into this place. I can tell. And the food? Out of this world! I had the chicken and waffles and it was the best chicken and waffles that I've ever eaten in my life. My table mates had catfish and grits and then a breakfast bowl that wasn't on the menu. They raved about their dishes as well. I know that they are newly opened and they're still working out adjustments and kinks and we are more than patient and willing to wait as long as the food and atmosphere make up for it and it surely did!! Ari was our server and she was so polite nice and had good energy. She made sure that we were taken care of! I will gladly return over and over to this place.

My my my (Johnny Gill voice) shole was good tonight!!! I have to check my reviews but I haven't been this blown away by food in a long time. It was absolutely worth the wait. My bestie and I finally made plans to visit The Besties Table (no bestie required to attend lol) for a Sunday Brunch catch up. We checked the IG page prior and confirmed that there are no reservations accepted. Now they've been open officially for about a couple months so we figured the hype might have died down. Nope. One we showed up at 12pm on a Sunday, prime Brunching hours. Still we kept on and put our name on the list. What was estimated as an hour and fifteen minute wait, turned into a little less than 30 minutes. Yay! We requested 1st available so we sat at the bar. The place itself is pretty small. Our server/bartender Rachel took our drink orders and we grooved to the sounds of the dj while we waited. We both ordered the Main Character Lemonade with vodka and it was refreshing. Then it was time to order food. That was thee hardest part. Though the menu doesnt have a lot of options, all of them sounded good. Our eyes diverted to someone else food that was just served which led up back to the IG page to see what new items were available. Just our luck the Breakfast bowl was listed. My bestie chose that option while I finally decided on the catfish & grits topped with crab. We split an order of deviled eggs. Oh yea, we each also ordered lamb chops and a chicken wing flight. The breakfast bowl came out first and we both tried it and oooooomygawwdd was it so good. Im not a fan of gravy but baby that went out the window. The turkey gravy, fried chicken pieces, scrambled eggs, and potatoes in each bite was so satisfying. My catfish & grits came out and honestly couldn't compare. I mean it was good but the breakfast bowl was better. So you already know what ill be going for upon my return. Ok before I make this review entirely to long, just know the food is absolutely amazing. If you dont feel like coming during busy brunch hours on Saturday or Sunday, get their earlier or go during the week. You wont regret it.

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!

French Toast Flight

As my lovely wife said "WORTH THE WAIT!" This is an intimate, cozy space that can get pretty busy. Our wait time was estimated around an hour but it went by much quicker. Our waitress was friendly and gave some wonderful recommendations that helped narrow down what to get. Everything here looks great so you really can't go wrong. We started off with a round of The Blueberry Boss, and then we got another round because it was so good! For food we went with Hot Honey Wings, French Toast Flight, & a Bestie's Breakfast Bowl and they all were made very well with a lot of flavor. I would definitely recommend coming here for brunch, just make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy the experience. Also, the playlist was on point the entire time, so shoutout to whoever controls the music. For my next visit I would be interested coming back on the weekends when they have live DJs spinning.

Coffee!

Finally made it in to Bestie's Table after hearing some great things. My friend and I went on a Sunday, planned to meet at 10:30. Is you're going with a group, this is already late! The place was busy and we were lucky enough to score the last table for 2. Bar seating is available, too. There isn't a lot of space to wait and it's a small place. The atmosphere is LIVELY and there was a dj set up in the corner. Initially the space felt loud-not because of the dj set up but from the space. I did acclimate and my friend and I had no problem talking. But this is a buzzy spot, don't go in thinking quiet, slow wake up. The menu is small but varies enough that you will need to make a decision between a couple of things. I had the Bestie Bowl. It came with a biscuit, eggs, fries chicken and gravy with a hot honey sauce in there. Good stuff! Despite the large portion I did finish it all-I shouldn't have. It was a lot of food! We didn't get drinks other than coffee, which came hot and never empty. Service was friendly and efficient. I had to park on the adjoining street, the small lot was full. I saw some people walking over from the lot across the street, so that may be an option, too. I can see why Bestie's Table fills up fast. I don't know how often the menu changes; hopefully not so often that I miss out on trying that catfish and grits I kept eyeing at the table next door.

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.

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!

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. 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.

Went years ago and gave a solid review, so figure might as well go back…read more Woof, how times have changed. First it took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken while everyone seated after us was ordering drinks and food. Then we finally ordered, an espresso martini with vodka and a glass of cava with a splash of orange juice. Drinks came out... full mimosa and the espresso martini with sake, yet nobody told us they didn't have vodka until we ordered a second round. Preceded to order breakfast... waffle, slab bacon, eggs, toast, and another slab bacon. Food came, and was fine except we got the slab bacon and then some burnt to a crisp thin cut bacon. Just average at best experience, and won't be coming back. Plus add in 20% gratuity and 3% cc charge. Unfortunately we will pass.

Went to Cafe Patachou yesterday morning and had one of the best breakfasts of my trip!…read more The avocado toast was warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly seedy with just the right balance of crunchy and soft, and they were generous with the avocado. I especially loved the radish and pickled onions on top.

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 walked past, looking longingly, past the next sports bar, a torta place, the hole in the wall, and towards the new apartments when my courage finally reared. I returned (luckily downhill) and passed the other bars where people were transfixed on the home opener of the pacers and nuggets. Good for them. My heart was on food and a recommendation from a friend I just met after having moved here. I walked in to the host stand at a bar and asked if I could sit; they said sure, but the bar is over there and pointed to an ante room near the kitchen. A new room, a new adventure, and the smells and music flowing out transfixed me. I found a stool, took a deep breath, and started to peruse and study the cocktail menu and constantly changing main menu. I ordered a beverage, Alex dutifully told me what was available and really just sauntered into my meal. Starting with oysters on seaweed with vinegar mignonette hit the briny taste point I needed against my drink. The roasted carrots with pomegranate and gravy were divine and hot with Cambrian chili slices. I followed that with the pricci pasta dish and the yogurt sauces mixed with the harissa lamb just sang on my taste buds. However; I did look. At the desert menu before ordering my main. Knowing how the pastry chef is acclaimed and is currently having a moment. That dessert, amazing. So fucking amazing. The custard pie was like someone figured out how to deconstruct a milk caramel, put it onto the top of a brown sugar tart that just melts in your mouth like a sugar cookie batter before it sets. This custard tart took longer to get off of my plate than the time it took me to eat the rest of my meal. I tasted each component, savored every last morsel, and shared bits with those on either side of me. Divine is not enough of an adjective with the prowess to express my gratitude. The team at the bar were not only attentive, they were my friends and helped me thoroughly enjoy my first Friday night out in a new city. They are a family and I felt a part of that for my 1.5 hour meal. 5/5 would recommend. DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE!!!

We came by on a Tuesday around 4ish but apparently they only serve a snack menu between 4-5. We waited until closer to 5 and came back, then were seated immediately. The service was great and I loved the ambiance. There was plenty of natural lighting and it just felt calm. To drink, I ordered the redrum cocktail and it was soo good, almost just tasted like apple cider. They change the menu everyday so you don't really know what there will be until you get there (but the menu online was kinda similar to what they had). To eat, we shared the grilled bread, red leaf salad, casarecce, patatas bravas, and beef tri-tip. This might have been too much for just the two of us lol, and we probably could have done without the potatoes because they were the most meh out of everything. I think I only ate one or two. The grilled bread came with the most delicious butters (I think one was chive and one was honey cinnamon) and some olive oil with garlic, soo good. The red leaf salad was amazing. I love that they clarify the apples are jonathan apples (my favorite variety)--it was definitely one of the most perfect fall salads and I would love to try recreating it myself. The casarecce came with a pesto sauce and it tasted so fresh. The beef tri-tip was good, but nothing spectacular. For dessert, we ordered the pumpkin ice cream and omg it was amazing--might have been one of the best pumpkin ice creams I've ever had. It tasted exactly like pumpkin pie filling. We also got the croissant pudding (like bread pudding but with croissants) and it was also so delicious. Definitely don't skip on desserts if you come here because they are worth it.
