    Honey Butter Croissants
    Emily L.

    Honestly the food was fine, nothing special. I ordered a steak with the mashed potatoes and sweet baby carrots as my sides. I would actually recommend the sweet baby carrots, those were pretty good. As far as the steak and mashed potatoes go, they were average. The service was not incredible, our waitress was a little awkward and not super friendly, which is not a huge deal.

    Lemon Pepper Chicken
    Sav M.

    I mean overall it's not a bad place. Very clean, the service was outstanding! But that would be the only reason we would come back. The lemon pepper chicken is very dry and little to no flavor. The ribs are ok at best. If we come back I think we'll have to try something else but overall those two dishes just tasted like hospital food. Now the sides, the fries, the broccoli cheese casserole, and the mashed potato's were on point! Very tasteful! The pot pie was the only thing that didn't need salt pepper or in general sauce.

    We came here for dinner and enjoyed a meal that wasn't great, but it was pretty good :-) The Back Ribs were ok, the Cheese curds were tasty, and the loaded baked potato is AOK. The staffers are pleasant, and selection is good. Meals come with honey butter croissants that are yummy. Tip: The drinks are reasonably strong and fairly priced. All things considered, while I wouldn't drive a hundred miles just to eat here, if I'm close by then I'd definitely return.

    Chicken Tenders & Shrimp

    We met here to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got seated almost immediately in the bar since all diners were over 21. Our server was attentive and very busy as he was serving all the tables in the bar alone. He was friendly and helpful with menu choices and advice. The honey butter croissants that come to each table first are some of the best I've ever had. I had the chicken tenders and fried shrimp with broccoli casserole and a loaded baked potato. The serving was plentiful and enough to take home for lunch the next day. The casserole was tasty and the chicken and shrimp were large and very good.

    Cornmeal White Fish with Southern Green Beans and Red Beans & Rice along with a side of bread.
    Richard Walton C.

    I was in the mood for fish and Cheddar's Cornmeal White Fish is excellent as well as their Red Beans & Rice. I was seated under their infamous fans and very near the aquarium. Their aquarium is super clean. I've had many aquariums but I'm not familiar with the black species in their tank. The fish chase each other around frequently which makes for interesting views. The parking lot was 95% full yet inside there were many tables available so one can only assume folks meet each other here for lunch thus giving a false impression there may be a waiting time for a table which was not the case at all. So yes I ordered my favorite Cornmeal White Fish with Green Beans and Red Beans & Rice. You get five fillets of fish at lunchtime. They used to have a smaller lunch portion but I believe both meal times now offer the same amount of fillets. The fish was perfect as always. The green beans did not taste like they usually do. The red beans & rice were excellent. They tasted a little bit salty on my first bite but I never noticed it after that. Another menu item I really love here is their Chicken Pot Pie. There is a TV screen over the hostess station that shows some of their more popular menu items. Service was good and friendly throughout my time inside this establishment. The restroom was clean and immaculate as usual.

    Homestyle Meatloaf
    Lindsay T.

    TW: food poisoning Really enjoyed this restaurant, the menu, and the service. Tragically will never be able to come again as 6 hours post-dinner, my body awoke me to commence the most violent evacuation of every corner of my stomach and intestines - a clean out of this meal so thorough that it lasted a full 12 hours, leaving me weak in a state of delusion. It was truly frightening and miserable and like nothing I have ever experienced in my life. I gotta blame either the broccoli, the meatloaf, or the gravy on the whole thing. Something on that plate was definitely not up to code.

    Ribs & Shrimp
    Nicole L.

    Stopped by for a work trip dinner. Super convenient location near our hotel! Our server Charles was super friendly and personable. Quite knowledgeable and answered some questions regarding the menu. Our table wasn't the cleanest but the overall restaurant was in good shape. The ribs are so tender, falling off the bone. The shrimp was well seasoned. Tasty & Pleasant experience!

    The food was fantastic and our server was phenomenal. We celebrated my grandma's birthday here and they set us up in a corner out of everyone's way and it was fantastic! The restaurant was clean and well lit also.

That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Light, Dark and naked wings. I will start with sides. The greens, better than I ever had including AL, MS, LA and TN. Slaw was classic LA. Good, I am vinger slaw guy. Now for the chicken. First and foremost the medium is no joke HOT. Anyone can make something hot. But the flavor of the hotness is world class. Whatever they do, (brine whatever) the flavor is deep in the meat, including the breast. Absolutely fantastic. My only advice is if you find a raw jalapeno to hot, go one level down in spice. Unless you can set an eat raw Serranos, don't pay .$50 to go spicier. Who would have thought, amazing hot chicken, Indy.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

Bonnie was knowledgeable of the restaurant's current hits with customers and she gave awesome recommendations. She was outgoing with other patrons and gave great service.

We started with the deviled eggs, an elevated take on a classic that set the tone early. They were well balanced, flavorful, and a perfect shareable to kick things off. For entrées, the table covered a solid range of the menu. The shrimp and grits, ordered by two in our party, stood out with rich, comforting flavors and a well executed balance of seasoning and texture. The wings brought a satisfying bite with just the right amount of crisp, while the burnt ends with fries leaned into bold, hearty flavors that didn't disappoint. The grilled chicken Caesar salad offered a lighter option but still delivered with fresh ingredients and solid execution. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the service. Skye, our waitress, was exceptional, attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. She kept everything flowing seamlessly for a larger group, which is no small feat. The overall atmosphere struck a great balance between upscale and approachable, making it an easy choice for both casual dinners and group outings. Bottom line, a well rounded dining experience with strong food, standout service, and an inviting environment. I'd absolutely recommend Conner's Kitchen + Bar and wouldn't hesitate to return.
