    Sweet Christmas pub.
    Carolyn W.

    Where do you go on a fine soft day in late December In Indiana to watch the game and grab a hearty meal? Brockway Pub. Super delicious. The chops hit the spot with the braised cabbage and colcannon. There is more than enough (yay! Breakfast). Guinness take a bit and are the perfect temperature. Find a seat. The server will find you and you well fed and hydrated. There are enough TVs all tuned to the Colts. Tuesday is session night. Go a listen or join it on trad Irish music by the folks just looking to play together. Släinte!

    Stopped in to one of my favorite Irish pubs in Indy for a tasty pint of Guinness. While here, we had the scotch eggs, which are some of the best I've had!!! The staff is friendly and attentive and always a good conversation with fellow patrons. If you're in the area, you definitely need to stop in!

    This is one of my favorite Irish pubs in Indy and one of the best places to go for a Guinness. When we stopped in, we also ordered the Scotch Eggs. Talk about deliciousness!! Thee might be the best Scottish Eggs I've had! They were crispy in the outside and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'm a fan of all the decor too. We go here most times we're on the north side.

    Went here after dinner with friends to catch the IU vs. Purdue game. The amount of tv's was great and the people and atmosphere where nice and not to loud or crowded. It is a smaller place as seen from the pics but it ads to the ambiance. The only issue we had which is my fault for not checking my bill before I gave the server my card was being charged for a drink I never got. I only had ordered a whiskey on the rocks and cider so how she lost count of the amount of drinks I had stumps me but be it as it may overall a decent place.

    Went for early dinner Arrived prior to 6 and was greeted immediately. They have a huge beer menu. We ordered Scotch Eggs. The eggs were good but unlike others we have had these were like chicken fried. They came with a horseradish/mayo sauce which was good The beer was good and cold. Served in a normal tavern glass My husband ordered fish and chips. He thought it was wonderful. Real beer batter. Pub fries and English peas I had corn beef and cabbage. It was a disappointment. The cabbage was good but the corn beef was thick slices prepared on a grill and placed in some kind of Guinness sauce. I ate it but would not order it again We ordered Irish cheese cake. It was normal cheese cake with chocolate sauce all over it and some kind of whipped cream? On the side. Didn't expect the chocolate and the cream stuff looked like cottage cheese We ordered coffee and asked for a refill. They said we got the last two coffee's and couldn't have a refill. Our waitress was new to this location so we let a couple of things pass The atmosphere is differently pub. Set up for group drinking and no frills dining We left about 7:15 and there was a wait. They do not take reservations I probably won't go back but if you like that old pub atmosphere and no frills dining with megs tv's this is the place for you

    I've been to Brockway twice now, and evaluating this restaurant reminds me of one of the taglines used in the 1990's TV show The X-Files - "I want to believe...". I want Brockway to be my go-to source for the Pub experience. I want very badly for the food to impress me. I want the service to be great. The problem is, those things never really materialize. The ambiance is certainly great, and the location on Old Meridian is a prime spot. But, that's where the fun stops. Bangers & Mash is usually something I get very excited about, but here, the dish lacked excitement. I'm sure we'll probably be back again. I came very close to just doing three stars, to avoid seeming negative. But, two is all I could muster here. I'll come again, and I'll branch out on the menu a little. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

    The servers are always nice but the food and drinks are just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here when there are better options in Carmel. The Trump flag is disappointing - we won't be back.

    I wanted to try something new for st paddy's this year and let's just say what I expected wasn't at all what I received ! The service and ambiance was no friendly and just ok they only were service st paddy's day menu with a very select menu ! I got the shepads pie served in a paper tray no served with a single side for $19 and my friend a sandwich and fires for $15 ! I do give them grace as it is the busiest few days for them but I wish server would have been friendly asking if we needed other things with more flavor for food and served on a plate ! The manager did take care of my concerns which I appreciate not sure I would choose to return for lunch maybe after st paddy's day to try other menu items definetely a bar vibe

    Excellent food and ambience! We happened in late on a Tuesday night after a long day and it was such a treat to have a group of musicians playing Irish music. Really made for a great experience! The food is very very good, there's a huge variety of beer and a nice, dark and cozy Irish pub feel! Open late and great for late night bites!!

    The interior is what you'd expect from a Pub named Brockway Public House with a large bar, tall-top and 4-top tables and several tables to accomadate a group. Many flat-screens are placed throughout the restaurant with 3 over the bar. An outdoor patio, on two sides of the building, is available when weather permits. I'm looking forward to warmer weather so we can take advantage of the patio. The atmosphere is fun, many regular patrons, full of laughter and loud most of the time. During one of my past visits I ordered the Barley Salad Mixed Greens (a few to many bitter ones) with cooked barley, walnuts, dried cherries, tossed with olive oil dressing and touch of lemon. Not a fan of the olive oil dressing which I thought was to heavy for the salad and overpowers the flavors. They used a small amount of barley which was nice and not a flavor deterrent. Walnuts were excellent, sweet and helps offset the bitterness of the greens if not mixed thoroughly. I noticed on my last visit this salad is no longer on the menu. I was extremely disappointed in the service. Drink order and lunch arrived timely then it was as if we didn't exist. It appeared everyone sitting at tables felt the same and a couple actually moved to the bar while others steamed. The bartender was the only server waiting tables right now and he seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people rolling in with a total of 6 couples (only two w/food orders) and 4 bar drinkers. Maybe it's just his personality but after food was dropped off he was a ghost. We were never checked on again to check if food was fine, nor any drink refills. Not one! Nice beer selection & specialty drinks but with this type of service you certainly don't want to order another drink. We shouldn't have to sit at the bar to get decent service. Couple at next table ate, gave up on ordering another beer, paid at the bar and left. Outdoor tables were coming in for refills so keep that in mind if you sit outdoors. Because of the beer selection we'll be back but I'm not sure we'll try ordering food again unless we sit at bar. I prefer not to eat a full meal at the bar though. Today, service 1 star, food 3 stars. Great Lunch menu selection from the Pick 2 for $9.99, available Monday through Friday 11 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Decent lunch selection with Reuben, BLT, Turkey and Cheddar, Corned Beef and Slaw, Fish, 4 Wings and a Guinness Chop. Today's visit was much improved from my last visit. The bartender, M. Sawyer, had a full bar so I selectioned one of the small tables in the bar area. The bartender was attentive, friendly, timely and made a nice cocktail. I ordered off of the small plates section of the regular menu. The Brockway Bams sounded good so I ordered those and a margarita. The Bams are Icelandic cod bites prepared with their award winning beer batter and served with Brockway sauce. I was concerned they would be either all batter, overcooked or extremely greasy. I was pleasantly surprised when a heaping portion of fish arrived with sauce. The Fish Nuggets had a light beer batter, perfectly golden brown with fresh, flaky fish inside. Very affordable appetizer for $9.50 and can easily share or have as a meal. Today's visit was a totally different experience which was pleasant with good food and drink. I'll return sooner hoping the service is consistent with today's. Fun location on Old Meridian with street parking or in lot behind the businesses.

    Dirty table
    Lola S.

    The table was dirty and there was a weird musty smell. The Irish margarita only tasted like bourbon and the fries and the pretzels were so bland they didn't even have salt. The burger here was bland which is normal considering I go a cheeseburger but ever the patty just tasted like raw meat. The ale sauce was watery and had no flavor. Overall, I probably wouldn't come here again. The service was fast though and the lady was nice.

    Amazing Grilled Chicken Wrap!

    So I've been to Brock way plenty of times over the last two years. Figured it was time to give them kudos. The two guys they had working tonight have great customer service skills. Both very friendly and very efficient. I don't have either name unfortunately, but I've had the pleasure of being waited on by both before. But they're ideal bar/pub servers. As far as food goes, most people are missing out on this place. Please stop for more than just a drink! They have a great menu, that no matter what I order I enjoy. I do strongly recommend the chowder, especially on cold damp days, as well as any of their sandwiches. It's also just a great themed spot, really represents that local bar feeling you want, better than a modern gastro pub. It's inviting like a pub is supposed to be! Every time I'm in I feel welcomed and like my business is appreciated. Keep it up!

    I love Fat Dan's, and have really enjoyed going recently!…read more The food is so much better than before, and isn't as greasy as it used to be! The pastrami and corned beef is my favorite (my best recommendation). The staff are so kind and attentive, making sure your drinks are always filled and anything you need is there.

    We were in the Indianapolis area for a tennis tournament and heard great things about Carmel. Once…read morewe were there we happened upon Fat Dan's Deli. The building facade is unassuming in a strip mall off the main drag in Carmel. Inside, the place oozed character. We love dive bars and Fat Dan's is an original. The place is a dive but in the best sense of the word. The interior is worn but everything was clean and inviting. The staff were warm and welcoming. We sat in a booth with tattered seats and a wobbly table and we loved it!! We ordered breadsticks, a Cuban sandwich, wings and fries. Before I describe the food, I have to write about the way they deliver the food. I saw one of the staff bring out this boat of food wrapped in white paper to a table near us and thought that was an order of a specific type that warranted such a delivery. When I asked our waitress about it she smiled and said that was how she was going to bring out our food. It's a little thing but we thought it was unique and just added to the feel of the place. A few minutes later we received our food in a white paper boat and it was awesome. The breadsticks were good; the nacho cheese wasn't the best. The coleslaw was a hit with my wife and son. The Cuban sandwich was really good. The chicken wings were outstanding! The wings are smoked and meaty...and the blue cheese dressing that came with it was delicious. The waitress told us that they make the blue cheese in house and I believe her. The fries were tasty- our waitress was right in saying that a small order would feed a family. We did our best but there was no way we were finishing anything. The portions are large.;) All in all, we had a great meal in a unique place with really friendly staff. Thanks, Fat Dan's!!!

    Spectacular pizza! They have some creative options too. I got a pizza with brisket and BBQ sauce…read morethat was about as good as pizza can be. They had a nice selection of draft beers for a pizza place. There were about 12 different drafts and they weren't your typical selections. They serve a drink called a Louisville Lip (basically a whiskey sour with amaretto) that was dynamite. It was really crowded for a Sunday night. It was hard to find a parking spot. The staff was A+.

My advice is get here early or you'll be standing in a long line of 20-30 people outside. I ordered the Cuban sandwich on pita bread. It was ok. It wasn't the best I've had and I probably won't order it again. The toasted pita bread made it harder to eat and it came with deep fried chips that may have been a little overcooked. My wife had the Meatball sub and said it was very tasty. It came with 11 meatballs and my wife commented you needed to eat the meatballs down the middle of the sub first before you could eat it as a sub. There were a lot of meatballs and it also came with same overcooked chips. I'm not sure what the draw is for this place. Maybe it's the pizza. It seems they serve a lot of them both in the restaurant and take out. If I come back I will try the pizza to see if that's what the hype is all about. We will try coming back on a week night to avoid the crowd.

Turns out the entire heated patio is first come, first served, and we were seated almost immediately. It was one of those windy Indiana afternoons where the cold finds every gap in your jacket. I fully expected to spend lunch shivering. Somehow, the heated patio felt warmer than the restaurant itself. Between the TVs, football on every screen, and the patio heaters, we had zero complaints. Now let's talk about the famous pepperoni-stuffed breadsticks. They're a must. And order your own nacho cheese. Seriously. Don't expect anyone to share. I could eat a shoe dipped in their cheese and probably enjoy every bite. The breadsticks always arrive piping hot, stuffed with gooey mozzarella, and if we're judging on a cheese-pull scale...I'm giving them a solid 7/10 on the stretch meter. As for our server, Zach...what a true gem. He's one of those people I'd honestly be surprised to hear anyone say they didn't like. Funny, quick with the jokes, and somehow kept up with the chaos without missing a beat. He also made sure my lemon drop martinis never had a chance to get lonely. Since I wasn't driving, he happily assisted me in...staying hydrated. The place was busy enough that we couldn't stand around chatting long, but he's the kind of person you'd genuinely enjoy running into again. We've been here twice now, and both visits have been consistently great. Whether you're stopping in to catch the game, escape the cold on the heated patio, or simply satisfy a craving for those ridiculously good breadsticks, Ale Emporium continues to be one of our favorite spots. Just don't skip the breadsticks...and trust me, order your own cheese. You'll understand after the first bite.
