Exactly the kind of good, greasy meal you're hoping for, and at prices that are hard to beat. Great service and a fun bar atmosphere made it even better.

By 11:25, it was about halfway full, and by the time we left at 11:45, it was quite busy. The place has a retro vibe, and while the food was enjoyable, it didn't quite reach great. However, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere certainly added to the experience. Lol We spent over $36 on my hot ham sandwich upgraded to French fries, his double cheese smash burger upgrade, onion rings, a Coke, and an iced tea. While it was reasonably priced, I wouldn't categorize it as cheap. Overall, I think it's worth trying at least once, as it offers a unique dining experience, but I do not feel compelled to return. It was an enjoyable outing, but not one that I am eager to repeat.

Service was a little sluggish when we went and food took on the longer side to come out but my parents who come here often said they're usually better. Food: Pulled Pork Nachos - The toppings are fairly sparse and the pulled pork is only just fine. It really needs something to amp the flavor up like more acidic tomatoes, a stronger pork rub, or punchier drizzle. 3/5 Fried brussels - For enjoyers of this vegetable, this is a good appetizer. They're lightly crispy and well seasoned with the sriracha honey glaze rounding out the bitter profile of brussels well. 4/5 We split a Whiskey Burger and Spicy Bacon Ranch Burger and honestly both were nothing special. The meat didn't stand out in any way. It wasn't particularly large, it wasn't smoked or seared specially, it just tasted like a regular patty. The toppings were fine but I wished there was thicker glaze or they gave you some aoili on the side because they were somewhat dry overall (not the patty itself but the entire burger) 3/5 The regular fries are good, I'm a fan of thicker cuts and these were still crispy. 4/5 The truffle parm fries were drenched in truffle oil which made them soggy and were way too over-powering 1/5 Overall I don't think I'll be back. The restaurant and food itself is fine but there are other places I like better that have either better prices, higher quality, punchier flavors, or more creativity. This place simply doesn't excel in any of these areas.

So I'll preface this by saying we've had a lot of truly great food during our 5 days in the…read moreIndianapolis area. Our last dinner - at Dawsons on Main - was the best! We started with Tony's Favorite Nachos which consist of steak, chicken, chorizo or pulled pork (we chose steak) sautéed onions, peppers, house made queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, and black beans on top of freshly fried tri-colored chips. The flavors were truly amazing and often places skimp on the 'stuff' and give you a million chips - Dawsons has the perfect proportion so if anything, you have 'stuff' after the chips are gone. We loved these nachos and were from Texas so that says a lot. We also tried the Firecracker Shrimp, which are shrimp tossed in house-made honey sriracha sauce. These were unlike anything I've had. They had a crispy crunchy exterior and the sauce was to die for - I would buy the sauce alone if I could! It had heat but not crazy heat and the flavor was superb. Our table had the Beef Stroganoff. I must say I am not a fan of beef stroganoff - but this actually was prepared very well and had a very good flavor which kind of surprised me! We also tried the TriColored Tortellini with Chicken which had chicken, mushrooms, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto cream sauce. The flavors were amazing together and I could have eaten more of this as well! We also had the Blackened Chicken Quesadilla which was a Cheddar jalapeño tortilla filled with sautéed chicken, black beans, roasted corn, house tomato relish, roasted red peppers, spinach, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. It was served with sour cream and Dawson's Cajun ranch. Although this was on the appetizer menu, it was easily an entree. It was stuffed with the ingredients and very flavorful and filling. All of the ingredients blended together very well and offered a mouth full of flavor in every bite! Finally, we tried the Bayou Chicken Salad which comes with Blackened chicken on top of iceberg/romaine mix with black beans jalapenos, roasted corn, fresh guacamole, house tomato relish, Cheddar, and Mozzarella cheese. It's served with tri-colored chips and Dawson's Cajun ranch. I left the chips and corn off. This was a generous salad with superb flavors. The dressing was wonderful - a little heat and a lot of flavor. Again, this was very filling as well. There was nothing I could find 'wrong' with Dawsons. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was just extremely good. I wish I could transport this place back to Texas so I could eat there more often!

Lots of options on the menu which is great for traveling. I wanted to go light and chose the spinach salad. Ingredients were fresh and it was loaded with toppings. Husband had a bit more heft to his meal and chose the chicken tenders and onion rings (what are you 12 years old?!). I tried a bite and they were very good so I'll cut him some slack.

It's a little down home place with a good vibe - the decor is Indy 500 themed which would be expected given the location is a block from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The staff were friendly and appropriately attentive. We tried varieties of meat plate and pulled port sandwiches - all of the BBQ was excellent. The pulled pork was flavorful and perfectly done. The brisket was a good mix of moist and lean (I asked for a mix) and also prepared perfectly. The smoked sausage had a great flavor and was not overdone. The 7 Pepper gold sauce and the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce are awesome! Both have great flavors and the perfect heat - and are made in-house. We took a few bottles to go, which says a lot! The fried apples were quite tasty - almost like a pie filling - very good. The fries are tasty - crispy outside and soft inside. They pair perfectly with the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce! The green beans - well, just bland and flavorless. The coleslaw also lacked flavor. The cornbread was a traditional cornbread - drier than we like, but that's not anything wrong with it - just not the type we like. I would absolutely come back!

I will say, you won't eat the best food you ever had in there area here but, as a whole this is a solid neighborhood spot. Especially when you factor in the amazing special deals you can grab on almost every night of the week. The one thing I will say, IMO, if your going to have "Bourbon" in your name come on, i expect to find a nice selection. The Bourbon list they have is pretty nice and exciting but the good ones are rarely available. Lastly, I love the fact that you can get freshly made pork rinds still making the rice crispy noise. Nobody is really doing that in the area anymore. Also don't pass on the onion rings!! They do them right!

We got there early and were able to have some drinks and food, including the nachos. Man, I was not expecting BBQ sauce and like a mustardy sauce and cheese and it was flavor exploding, loved it. With the event we had catered pork/chicken as well as sides. Everything was great, the peppercorn dressing for the salad was so amazing, I would definitely think of a salad here in the future. The venue inside the space, with the car, is quaint with seating and you get to see everything happening outside the space as well. This last time, we were in the original Guggman Haus brewing building that houses the coffee. This is adorable! We had service the entire time, including a bartender and the beer. They made everything super easy and I would consider this space for a baby shower, bridal shower, etc. We had 25 people and it fit wonderfully. There is also outside space for overflow, so it makes it very reasonable. Now onto the beer! I had the IPA Riverside, very hazy with a great flavor. Then I went off the rocker and ordered some prickly pear drink, I was not expecting how good that was! Refreshing and light, easy to drink (probably too easy) and the flavor was perfect! Try it if you are there, it is a newer option. PROS: Parking easy, street and lot Many open spaces and areas to rent Games are included, so eat, drink and enjoy company They have trivia nights, woohoo CONS: Sometimes the food is not always a hit, nothing to state specifically today, but I recall in the past saying to myself, don't order that again. So, try everything and find what you like. The place is great and the beer/food options are good, so you will find something you like.
