    Food was great ! If you like easy going bar vibe. They did not have a specific cocktail menu but they have a full service bar so they can make just about anything if you ask. I got a Long Island and it was strong ! Ranch was amazing also ! We also got pretzel bites but forgot to take a photo of them super good with the beer cheese.

    Great spot to hang out and drink in Broad Ripple! There are deals everyday most notable to me is Yuengling (24oz for $5!). The game room is a nice spot to kill time, $1.50/game to use the pool tables. The vibes are great, everyone is having a time.

    This is a cool spot, perfect for watching a game. We came here with a crew on a Saturday and were impressed by the number of TV's as well as pool tables and other games to play. We tried some appetizers and I was particularly impressed by the mozzarella sticks...they were great! I got my drinks at the bar but they did have a server that would bring drinks over and was very attentive. Overall, we had a good time here and there's plenty of seating for those looking to sit and stay a while.

    Nice spot in Broad Ripple to meet friends and hang out. They have 3 pool tables and TVs for games with some arcade games towards the back. I've been here before when live music is playing and it's a good time. Servers and bartenders are friendly, however, we were given the wrong credit card one time and the other customer had our card as well. The server apologized but it was very stressful as we had to cancel our card and wait for a new one. She had the cards in her back pocket as opposed to near the register and I wish she would've at least been more attentive to check the name before cashing out. Regardless, this review is to reflect the bar not the experience with her. The food is great bar food and drink specials are great throughout the week. They also have a Touchtunes machine which we enjoy playing around with.

    I don't mind Broad Ripple Tavern. However, having lived a few blocks from here for 4 years, I've only ever been here twice. And once was before I lived here. So that says something to me. Both times I've been have been for events. The first was a bar-crawl lipsync battle, which my friend won, so I of course was happy here. The 2nd was this past Friday for a Bonaroo trivia event. The space in the back is perfect for events like this. I love that they have two bars, one in the back which is a bit smaller, and a larger one in the front. The stage also made it easy to hear and see the trivia host. There were several servers walking throughout the back area to help take orders, but we did struggle to get their attention and get taken care of. We were able to order some food and got their nachos and chicken fingers. The nachos were okay, I want to go back and give them another shot. They were loaded and had liquid cheese, which is a win in my book. The chicken fingers were a bit dry though. I don't see us coming back here for dinner, but I won't discount the place as a great venue for events like those mentioned.

    Broadripple tavern is a local classic I've come to learn, and I can say I've visited a few times. Located on the corner, down near the alley cat and insomnia cookies you can find broad ripple tavern. It's a pretty large location in my opinion, the front has a good number of tables and a large bar, and the back has pool tables and other bar games plus more places to sit. Large drink selection, your standard beer choices and mixed drinks. They also have food options as well, which I would consider good bar food! They have daily specials you just have to ask, or read up on the menu.. Everyone is also very friendly as well which adds to the experience. as well as attentive drink was never empty. I had a tasty Bloody Mary, which I'm always nervous to order in a bar because you never know what you are going to get. This Bloody Mary was good! Just the right amount of spice, good snacks on top, even more important I didn't feel like I was just drinking mix with a whisper of vodka so my hats off to that bartender!

    I guess the majority of my experience here involved our senior socials when I was in college. Which with those experiences came awkward conversation with people I didn't know or even worse, knew and didn't remember. They have a lot of pool tables, which is a plus, helps ease the burden of weirdness. Also they have a great window seat and good bread sticks. The specials, are usually decent, and as far as Broad Ripple bars go, it's one of the easiest to get into. So that's a plus, but over all, I guess I've never really been a big fan.

While picking up an order recently, I had the most amazing conversation with one of the associates. You know how sometimes a quick interaction can completely shift your day? This was one of those moments. She was wearing a shirt with an open heart design that revealed the most beautifully spirited tattoo -- and as someone who loves hearts, it immediately made me smile. It felt like such a small but meaningful connection. As we finalized the order exchange, she generously handed me one of their healthy juices! Completely unexpected and absolutely what I needed in that moment. It brought genuine joy to my day. Their food is always beautifully prepared and thoughtfully packaged, but what truly sets The Garden Table apart is the authentic kindness of their team. The associates don't just serve food .... they serve warmth, presence, and heart. Highly recommend -- whether you're dining in or just picking up.

However the last three visits I have had three different dishes (including ones I had order previously) and all three have tasted like cooking oil. Today I had the caprese toast. I decided to add salmon for added protein. Ya'll, when you see the word 'caprese', you think fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, right? Not cooked, right? Well every item except some mint was cooked. Mushy apples, mushy tomatoes.... coated in a fowl smelling oil. The mushy-ness of it all got to the bread underneath. Then the salmon on top.... it was salmon but it was very, very smoky and it was shredded to appear like.... hate to say it.... cat food. Cat food instantly popped in my mind when I saw my plate. The item I used to love the sweet potato hash but it now has the same problem as the caprese toast. No flavor except that of cooking oil. I also ordered a kids plate with scrambled eggs. Eggs arrived with obvious signs of being over cooked with brown burn marks. Fine for a fried rice at a Chinese restaurant, maybe. But really? This is a brunch place that is supposedly 'health minded'. Eggs shouldn't be dry. I'm sure they also tasted like cooking oil but I didn't try them. I agree with another reviewer that the descriptions of dishes could be better. A cooked caprese??? I wouldn't have ordered it. Two stars are only beause the service here is decent.

My husband asked for more lettuce to make his salad better. (It had water also). He was charged $1.25 for the lettuce then asked if I was going to eat the cheese and lettuce on my taco. After adding all this an extra chips he could eat his salad After bringing the check, the waiter once again asked if we were satisfied. We explained yes for the time being but explained again how bad the salads were he just smiled The restaurant was clean, tables cleared promptly and uniquely decorated.

Spritzes are amazing but not enough sometimes, so I also got a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Yum! The pour was generous. I kept my drink orders simple this visit, but Thieves has a whole menu full of creative cocktails. What you do when you enter is just sit down, and someone will come by and take your order.
