    That wonderful chicken ceaser wrap with the flavorful crispy truffle fries. Sooooooooo yummy!!!@ - A plate contains a partially sliced chicken Caesar wrap with visible lettuce, chicken, and Caesar dressing inside a flour tortilla. Next to the wrap are seasoned French fries sprinkled with chopped herbs. A small cup of dipping sauce, likely Caesar or aioli, is also on the plate. The meal is set on a dark table with a glass of water and a menu partially visible in the background.

    Im late adding my review... but here goes. It was a friendmas gathering with my dear sisters. Binkleys was the chosen venue. I love this place because everything is always fresh and flavorful. Parking is an adventure but they do have it in the corner lot located on 59th and College Ave. The atmosphere is still as i remember it. Nice and quaint but spacious enough to not be on top of each other. We had an amazing time. The food was fresh and wonderful. I had the chicken ceaser salad wrap and the truffle fries (a staple for me when I come) our server was amazing she provided excellent customer service. We didnt wait for drinks, she made sure we were taken care of. We laughed the afternoon away. We did the viral girls gift exchange and that had the patrons in the resturaunt engaged with us as we had so much fun grabbing gifts off the table. And b4 we left one of the staff came and took photos for us. I so appreciate the service that was given to us. Everyone was so friendly and literally assisted on making our gathering an awesome one.

    Food, service and ambiance were great here. Our waitress was especially attentive during my first visit here. I loved the shrimp platter with different shrimp flavors. Their fries and coleslaw were perfect. (I especially loved the coconut shrimp but they were all good.) Their fried mushrooms are so good! My fiancé had the fried tenderloin sandwich and it tasted good too.

    I love the truffle fries. They have good beers on tap. I hang with all sorts of beer drinkers: the IPAers, the malty brown lovers, and the miller, coors, bud people. When you come to Binkley's, you can please them all. Plus they have a full bar, wine, It is a great place to have fun with friends, have a meal with family or just hang and watch some sports.

The image appears to be taken in a restaurant setting, possibly Binkleys Kitchen & Bar, known for its diverse menu and craft beverages. The focus is on the cheese curds, which are golden-brown and crispy.

    We drive past Binkleys every day, and for years, we kept saying we would go in. We finally stopped in, and once we figured out what door to go in (very awkward), then once we found the hostess (also very awkward), we were seated right by the door we came in. So, to clear that up, the main entrance off the street is not the main door; it's in the back near the dumpsters. The door off College is not the main door, just one of the 2 on that side of the building. A very nice waitress took care of us and kept our water jar full the entire time we ate. It was a rainy day, and the lighting was dim and conversations quiet; it was peaceful. We tried the pepper jack cheese curds, they were ok. We tried the onion rings because they looked great in pictures, they were ok and very salty. There was a burger and chicken strip and a BBQ pork pizza at our table. Nothing too amazing, and nothing bad. We may go back, but there are so many exciting places in the area it's hard to go to somewhere OK.

    Binkley's is one of our favorite neighborhood spots! I usually get a burger, onion rings, broccoli, and then we share the sweet potato fries--so good every time! Everything is always on point, and the vibe is super laid back and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    Binkley's has long been a trusted neighborhood favorite in Broad Ripple, and stepping inside always feels like visiting a familiar spot. The vibe is relaxed but classy, with warm lighting, comfy seating, and a layout suited for both group gatherings and casual dinners. Whether at the bar, in the dining room, or on the patio, the place feels lively yet inviting. Service at Binkley's is consistently excellent. Staff are knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive, often offering helpful recommendations based on your mood. They keep things running smoothly during busy times, and you never feel rushed. This level of hospitality makes you want to come back before you leave. The menu balances elevated comfort foods with inventive takes on American classics. Whether it's their signature sandwiches, colorful salads, or filling entrées, everything is carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. The weekend brunch is also top-notch, providing plenty of reasons to visit at different times. Portions are generous and reasonably priced, cocktails are skillfully mixed, and there's always something new or seasonal to enjoy. Binkley's combines consistency, warmth, and delicious food, making it a reliable spot for nearly any occasion. With its good beer selection, relaxed vibe, and consistently tasty food, Union Jack Pub feels like a dependable neighborhood hangout. It's a place you can visit without overthinking, knowing you'll always find good service, a welcoming atmosphere, and a meal that hits the spot.

    First time here. I've always seen the large sign at the corner of College and Kessler. Went with a friend who knew about the small parking lot behind the building. We got a great spot. It filled up fast and we got there just before 6 pm. There is also street parking and I was told there was a public lot about a block down from the restaurant. The place is enormous with seating on two sides. The place was packed so it's definitely a popular place. It's total a bar vibe. The server was friendly and she got our orders right. There were lots of choices and specials for the week as well as drink specials. I asked for an Ash and Elm cider and they brought me the aluminum can popped open. I had to ask for a glass. I've never been handed a can in a restaurant before without being offered a glass. All of the cocktails were great priced though. The food was pretty good. Fair for pub grub. All of our sweet potato fries were cold. The onion rings were okay. Thick batter but seasoned pretty well. I was in a large group and didn't have the opportunity to ask how everyone enjoyed their meal. It all looked good as I took a few photos of it being handed out. The fried donuts were tasty. It was accommodating for a group of 10. I don't know if I would rush back to Broadripple to eat here but it was definitely worth a try. It's no frills for sure but no complaints except for the cold fries.

    Binkleys is a great neighborhood spot. We live down the street and love to walk here for a beer and a sports game. They have an extensive drink menu and great bar food. My partner loves their burgers and I am never disappointed by the pizza! Overall a good place for a casual dinner with friends.

    Mahi Mahi - A white square plate holds a grilled salmon fillet with visible grill marks, accompanied by steamed broccoli florets and roasted potato chunks. A small container of tartar sauce is placed near the salmon. The presentation suggests a balanced seafood dish with vegetables and potatoes, served in a casual dining setting.

So far, the Tenderloin has been the absolute best we have ever had. It was moist, tender, and not overly breaded or oily. But that's not all. We had the sweet potatoes fry's and they were excellent!!! Since moving to the area in 2006, I have been looking for excellent fry's. I found a few that were good, but none that was as good as this!! After 20 years, I found some good fries!! But, there is more!! The chipolte sauce was homemade and superb as well as the pickle. It takes me a half an hour to get there, but it is absolutely worth it. Our server was also superb! A pleasure to talk with and made us feel very welcomed! The place was very clean and not loud at all. I was able to talk with my wife without having to scream. I do not think you will be disappointed in the place. GO NOW!!!

I wanted a second bowl of tortilla soup, my friends Cobb salad was HUGE and (stay with me here) my friend, saw her friend, who happen to be passing our table, and suggested she get the tacos!

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

We had a hard time deciding on an appetizer as they all sounded so good. We went with the wagyu pigs in a blanket. They are cooked perfectly and seasoned well and juicy. I got the chicken katsu sandwich on Japanese milk bread and o my gosh it was so flavorful and I like anything else you can find around. The breading is light and not overly crunchy. I still think about that sandwich. Hubby ordered the short ribs and he said they were flavorful and tender and juicy. I can't express how amazing the food is here. You just have to give it a try. It's worth it.

I ordered a biscuit sandwich with turkey sausage, egg, pepper jack, and hot honey (not on the menu, but just ask for the Fire and Ice biscuit). When it first came out, I had a quick "where's the rest?" moment, but it turned out to be surprisingly filling and really flavorful. I paired it with the tiramisu cappuccino and loved it--rich, smooth, and a little indulgent in the best way. Fire and Ice feels like the kind of place you're glad you discovered--perfect for studying solo, meeting someone for coffee, or escaping the rush for a bit. It's easy to drive past, but once you stop in, you'll want to come back. Save me a spot by the fireplace!

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.
