Just tried for the first time on a Saturday night. Sadly, they did not have any stouts, porters,…read moreor really anything of the dark variety on tap, so I settled for their Santeria ($6.50), which was fine. If you like pale ales, they seemed to have a lot of those. Wife tried a canned cider called Blakes ($8), but said it tasted like they added fake apple flavoring to it and she would not get it again. We split the Cheese Curds ($12), Pretzel Bites ($11), and Nachos ($18). It was a lot of food and we brought a decent bit of the cheese curds and pretzels home. The ranch that came with the curds was fine, the house queso with the bites was pretty good. We finished the nachos there figuring they wouldn't work well as a leftover. They tasted fine, but the toppings were somewhat concentrated in placement, so we had to move the chips around to access the empty chips or the chips that were overloaded. They do not skimp on the jalapenos. Service was pretty good. Lio did a nice job checking in on us throughout the meal. Food and beverages were delivered promptly. Checking out and paying went swiftly as well. The space itself is not the biggest and a tad peculiar in its narrow and turned features. They do try to use it efficiently between their high-tops and tables for 2 and 4 along the walls and in the middle of the space. It was still daylight outside, but there were definite dark areas due to the shape of the room. Acoustics were a little rough also as one loud table essentially dominated the volume of the room. There's no designated parking for the place, but there is a decent bit of free street parking surrounding the store along either of the roads that intersect around it. Wouldn't be opposed to returning, but probably wouldn't make a special trip.

Chilly Water Brewing Company ended up being a great stop! The atmosphere was relaxed, the food was…read moredelicious, and they have a huge drink selection to choose from. I ordered the Ring of Fire pressed sandwich with salami, ham, capicola, chipotle aioli, provolone, and banana peppers. It had just the right amount of heat and was packed with flavor. If you're a blood orange fan like I am, do yourself a favor and order the Blood on the Tracks--it was easily one of my favorite beers of the visit. The service was fantastic from start to finish, and I really liked that there was plenty of seating both indoors and on the patio. As an added bonus, the patio is dog-friendly, so getting to watch all the pups hanging out with their humans made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to the next time I'm in the area.

I always order the Cuban when a new restaurant has one on the menu, and Big Lug's did not disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful, and one of the better Cubans I've had in a while. On my second visit, I went with the blackened cod tacos on corn tortillas (you can also get flour tortillas, and they offer shrimp and breaded fish options). They were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Both visits I ordered the spicy garlic cauliflower, and it was outstanding. The homemade blue cheese dressing took it to another level. If you're on the fence about ordering it, don't be--it was one of my favorite things on the menu. The outdoor walk-up bar creates a really cool, laid-back atmosphere, making it a great place to relax whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying a meal by yourself. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and both meals came out quickly. I don't usually eat at the same restaurant twice on a trip, but Big Lug earned it. If I'm back in the area, it'll definitely be on my list again.

Big Lug is a very cool spot right off the Monon, and even better if you have a pooch with you!…read moreUnfortunately, our experience with the service was pretty disappointing. We sat right in the middle of the main thoroughfare and were completely ignored for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged someone down. The guy, "H," apologized and said, "Oh, my bad--it's all good." We figured, no big deal, let's move on. We ordered pretty simple food, apps and were then going to put in some entrees once apps arrived. We asked for waters and a water bowl for our pups. He brought two waters--with no straws--and no dog bowl. We assumed he was going to grab the bowl, so we waited... and waited. Then I noticed him at the end of the bar leaning against some boxes, texting. So I finally got up, interrupted him and asked for the dog bowl. His response, "oh my bad." Our appetizers came out, and naturally, we asked for silverware. A few minutes later, I spotted "H" in the corner on his phone again. At that point I was thinking, seriously?! So I got up again, interrupted "H's" text convo and asked for silverware. His response again was, "Oh, my bad." I didn't respond to him I just turned around and went back to my seat. Honestly, the whole experience started feeling more like a self-serve restaurant than table service. It's a chill spot and we weren't being needy whatsoever. We never asked for any refills- we were merely asking for the basics. We wanted to order more food, but by that point we were pretty turned off and decided to just get the check. Then came the final straw: my guy had his license and credit card sitting on the table because he hadn't brought his wallet out for our monon trek. When "H" came back with the checkout thing, without question or hesitation - he grabbed the card and swiped it. We didn't even realize what happened until afterward. Maybe that's standard there, but I've never had a server just take my card without asking. Usually you get a "hey do we want to use this card? Or something to confirm. And of course the tip structure is skewed so the min is 20% unless you want to try to figure out to manually enter in 15% (which most ppl don't -incl my guy), so we left 20% and left irritated and still hungry. "H" didn't seem hungover or anything--he just genuinely seemed like he did not not give a shiiiit. We had to get up three separate times to get things we had already requested: the dog bowl, a couple straws, and silverware. (Basics) And a quick note on the 7-Layer Hoss Dip: don't expect seven layers. It comes in a small thick ceramic bowl and was basically beans, guacamole, a tiny bit of corn and some hard cheese on top. Definitely would not recommend it. Way too "beany" and not worth $16 at all. The southwest rolls were decent- very fried tho. Cheesecake Factory's are better ;) The location and dog-friendly atmosphere are great, with the exception of the homeless camp right at their patio entrance, but unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, because Big Lug has a lot going for it.

Food was exactly what you'd expect from that kind of place, decent but nothing special. Our table got fish and chips, a blt, and a burger. All of it totally satisfactory. It looks like they have a very vegan friendly menu as well! If you're looking for a place to sit and have a beer with friends this fits the bill. If you're looking to have amazing food, there are probably other places I'd rather be.

10/10 QUE KING BBQ IS A MUST TRY!!…read more Me and my friends stopped by the Foodie Festival near Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis, and QUE KING was one of the first food trucks we noticed! The food smelled AMAZING, so of course we had to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did! First off the customer service was amazing! Very professional, friendly, and welcoming. You can genuinely tell he cares about his customers and the quality of the food he serves. Right when we walked up to the food truck he immediately greeted us and I look for things like that. My friends tried the smoked chicken wings and the lamb burger. 10/10!! I got the baby back ribs and tried both the Carolina BBQ sauce and honey BBQ sauce. When I tell you those ribs were AMAZING!!! The flavor was on POINT. We also got the greens as a side and they were another 10/10! Everything was packed with FLAVOR Absolutely NOTHING was bland. And one of the biggest things for us was how FRESH everything tasted and how fresh everything was cooked! When I say this is some of the BEST BBQ we've ever had, I mean it! We enjoyed it so much that we even got more food to take home! You could tell we weren't the only ones impressed either. Other people around us were loving the food too! Amazing food Fresh ingredients Full of flavor Great customer service Professional and friendly If I could give QUE KING 100 stars, I WOULD! Overall 10/10!!! We will DEFINITELY be back whenever we get the chance. I want to try the BBQ nachos next! QUE KING, keep doing your thing because that BBQ is SERIOUS!!

If you've been following my reviews for any length of time, then you already know I'm a regular…read moreattendee of Statehouse Market. Statehouse Market is just what it sounds like - a weekly farmer's market that occurs during the lunch hour on the Indiana Government Center campus. It features a variety of food trucks, food vendors, craft vendors, and assorted other groups. I've been pretty quiet with the reviews from Statehouse Market this year - partly because my schedule has been bonkers and partly because I've mostly been sticking with familiar food trucks. Que King has been one of the exceptions. Que, which on the truck is noted as standing for "Quality Urban Eats," is a Black-owned food truck specializing in, you guessed it, BBQ type items. The menu was modest sized yet featured the likes of pulled pork, a Steak Burger, pulled chicken, baby back ribs, and a few other main items. There are sides available and a few drinks, as well. The prices were pretty decent. First off, I must note super friendly employees. The young man at the window was friendly, helpful, and accommodated a wheelchair using customer quite well. I was impressed. I ordered a Steak Burger. It came with a bag of chips (Lay's). It came on a bun. It had the usual on it, though you could also get a sauce. The menu didn't say cheese was an option, though it must've been since they offered it. The burger wasn't a behemoth, however, it was tasty with a nice grilled taste. It was served up quickly - which I appreciated as this market occurs during our lunch hour. If I have one modest complaint, it's that the chips were downright awful. They were so bad that I checked their date (they weren't expired). They tasted stale and were so bad I didn't eat more than 4 or 5 of them before tossing the bag. This really is a modest concern, however, it definitely was disappointing alongside a solid burger. So, this time around I'm going to have to go with a 4-star. They did have some nice side options (including seasoned fries) and should I return (and I would), I'll likely try a side even if I have to pay a bit more. Overall, a pleasant new find among Indy's food trucks and I hope they return to Statehouse Market.

Loud trucks aside, it was a good move (and the trucks added "character!) They make all of their beers and they have quite a selection. I even found a Belgian Triple! It was my lucky day. I ordered Mandarin Grilled chicken salad (I realized there were absolutely no mandarin oranges. Come to find out AFTERWARDS they're out of mandarins. The kitchen needs to wake up, even for a Sunday.) It was okay, the feta was definitely not fresh, likely prefab, but the chicken was really good. And the dressing (supposedly homemade) was a nice dipping sauce. I also ordered the Beer braised beef panini. It had horseradish inside. Really nice bread and cooked to perfection. And last, my server, Jordyn. She was friggin awesome.
