Food was great! My frat brother and I had the smoked wings, lump crab hushpuppies, and fries. The wings were tossed in a dry rub so it was well seasoned, and they were whole wings too! So it was a good portion size. The hushpuppies were phenomenal with their aioli and I wish I had another plate! They were stuffed with more crab than expected. Lastly I had the Peach Cobbler cocktail - I was in heaven and this is perfect for the fall or upcoming summer. This will always be my go-to. The service was awesome too! 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. The ambiance gives business casual or dressed up casual. As there was a sorority convention in town (specifically downtown) most customers were dressed nice. Dim light atmosphere with positive vibes for sure. Great for a date night or hanging with a group of friends for a night out! read more

Last night, our group of six dined at Conner's Kitchen + Bar, and the experience delivered on nearly every level. 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. read more

The pineapple mimosas were smooth and refreshing, the shrimp & grits were full of flavor with the perfect kick, and the brisket skillet was absolutely fire--tender brisket, peppers/onions, crispy onions, and that runny egg took it over the top. Even the wheat toast hit the spot. Huge shoutout to Brittany, our server--exceptional service, super attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We'll be back! read more

I've stayed here at the Marriott several times but this was the first time I ate at Connor's kitchen. The Service and food were excellent! I dined during lunch service so I ordered off of the lunch menu. My server was Andrew and he was super attentive. I immediately ordered the lump crab hush puppies and they were delicious, I definitely recommend! I also ordered the wagyu Burger in my goodness, It was worth every calorie! I really like that they toast the bun and the cheese was cheesin!!! I look forward to trying other things off of the menu as well as the dinner menu. read more

We stopped in to Conner's while in Indianapolis for a multi day conference. It is very near the capital building and the convention center in the downtown area. What I really liked about it is there is a large and very comfortable covered patio in the front facing the street. This was great to gather upon, during the waning hours of the day with colleagues to review all the things that had taken place. Fantastic menu with handcrafted cocktails, and delicious shareable appetizers. I did review the menu but didn't have a regular meal at Conners. Everything looked well prepared on the other guest tables. It is not standard pub food, instead it is several notches up. All in all, I would say that this is a fantastic place to unwind at the end of the day with friends or coworkers. read more

My first visit here, for Sunday brunch. There were only a few diners here when we arrived. The Colts were playing in Berlin at 9:30 am, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to watch the game while enjoying brunch. We ordered a few brunch entrées to share. The lemon buttermilk pancakes were doughy and undercooked in the middle. The edges were good. My friend ordered eggs, potatoes, and bacon. My favorite was the roasted potatoes. They were nicely seasoned and perfectly roasted. Our server was rather indifferent and seemed to be annoyed. Not annoyed with us but just seemed to be annoyed in general. Maybe he was just having a bad morning, but the service was not what I had expected to experience. The restaurant is attractive and we were able to see several tvs easily so we could watch the Colts game. We stayed for the first half while we were eating brunch then left for another nearby bar to watch the second half. read more

My family and I came here on a Saturday for brunch. We wish there more lunch options available on the menu. The food was pretty good, but I expected better just because of all the high Google reviews. We ordered the crab hush puppies which had a generous amount of crab in them and paired really well with the dipping sauce. My husband and dad got the wagyu burger which came with a generous amount of fries and you could add an egg or thick slice of bacon for extra cost. The shrimp and grits had a nice spicy flavor to them. The main item that was disappointing to me was the fish tacos. The fish was not seasoned well and was pretty flavorless with the other taco toppings. Service was friendly and efficient. Our waitress came over to check on us pretty regularly. Bathrooms were clean and all the booths were incredibly spacious. You can definitely come here with larger parties pretty comfortably. The food was a bit on the pricey side. read more

Conner's Kitchen + Bar - Shrimp Grits* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My group of 6 visited on a Wednesday night. We had 6:30p reservations, but this large restaurant was fairly empty. Earlier in the day our team mate dialed to change our reservation from 5 people to 6 and was asked if we'd be paying with one check for the larger party. Odd. Visually the restaurant makes a nice first impression with its tall ceiling, bar, and lighting. Good thing I took in the initial scene because we were sat in a corner of the room and I stared at the wall for the remainder of the night. Most of our group ordered old fashioned cocktails and the Waygu cheeseburger with fries. Other than the burger standing tall, nothing stood out about either item. After eating hotel food for 3 days you'd think this burger would've been the star of the week. Our server was friendly and our food arrived quickly. However, nothing kept us there for another round of drinks and we took our dollars to other restaurant. While I'd return if this was someone's pick for lunch or dinner, I wouldn't make the effort on my own or recommend Conner's. read more

We stopped in during an IU game to meet up with some friends and grab a few burgers, and overall had a good experience. The place was busy (expected with the game going on!), and even with the crowd our server did a good job staying attentive. Service was a little slower, but totally understandable given how busy they were. The food was definitely the highlight -- everyone at our table ordered burgers and fries, and they were fantastic. They also accommodated us when a couple of us wanted to split a burger; they handled it without any issue. Drinks were just okay. nothing bad, but nothing standout either. I've definitely had better and worse elsewhere. The only downside was how tight the seating felt. The tables are very close together, and with the place full, it was hard to move around or even get in and out of your seat. They also don't allow standing room, so if you don't have a table, you're kind of out of luck. Still, solid food, good service, and a lively atmosphere -- especially if you're in the mood to enjoy a game with friends. We'd go back again! read more

It may have just been the one day/moment I was here, but boy it was tough to get a table for 2 here (despite the place having plenty of empty space). We only had bar foods so I can't speak to the menu, and they were good - but everything was remarkably expensive even when compared to some of the city's top steakhouses just a short walk away. And the wine list pricing was laughable - a supermarket prosecco that you can buy for $11 per bottle was selling for $15 a glass. I know bars make their living off drink margins, but at least sell better drinks at these prices. If you're at the convention center and want a quick snack or drink, there are a half dozen nearby places with better pricing, and equal or better selections. And if you're a wine lover please go to a place with a better wine list. read more

Connors is attached to the Marriott Hotel. It gives the Best of both worlds-restaurant and bar. My cousin and I decided to sit at the bar to watch some games. The waiters were helpful and patient as we looked over the menu. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. Fries were standard. I felt they could have used fresh Parmesan. The wings were lacking flavor , and the sauce wasn't spicy at all. I was excited to try the burnt ends, but they were actually burnt ends. It was more like cubed pork with sauce on it. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor. The butter cake was amazing! Overall the meal was good, but could have been better for what was spent. read more

Service was awesome, our server Skye made sure our food came out quickly and our water glasses were filled! Wish I could say that the food mirrored the service in terms of excellence. My entire meal was cold, and my peers who had the Benedict, the egg was hard boiled not poached and was also cold. While the mains missed the mark, the breakfast nachos and deviled eggs were fantastic! read more

I've only ever had the breakfast here, but have enjoyed it every time! The servers are always friendly and helpful. Gluten free modifications are easy and handled with care. Of course, I am a bit jealous of the lemon buttermilk pancakes that my husband orders. They are piled high, super fluffy, and come with a unique lemon syrup that he loves. I order the eggs Benedict on a gluten free bun with scrambled eggs. The sauce is incredible and I have enough for leftovers. I also love the race themed decor and atmosphere. It's a great hotel restaurant! read more

I was staying at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown and ended up enjoying a cocktail at Connor's a few nights in a row. One night I sat outside on the patio for dinner and loved it esp. because the open windows let you enjoy the fresh air while still benefiting from the air conditioning inside, and the covered patio kept it comfortable even in the afternoon sun. I have to say, the Cobb Salad here is hands down the best I've ever had. The bacon on top was rich, thick, and tender (truly mouthwatering) the best piece of bacon in my life!! The dressing and toppings were perfectly balanced, and I'm still thinking about it! I also grabbed one of their signature Old Fashioned to take back to my room. I love Buffalo Trace, and their unique twist on the classic cocktail was excellent. The service was consistently kind and attentive, and the atmosphere picks up later in the evening with fun energy and sporting events! read more

Normally I shy away from restaurants inside hotels, but this brunch place had decent reviews, was literally across the street from the Indiana Conference Center, and we did not have much time. It's a very large space and felt like we were having brunch in a sports bar. The staff seemed busy and we had to wave them down several times. The food also took quite awhile to come out. The menu has the type of breakfast fare you would expect in a sports bar, with the prices bumped up quite significantly. I was here with two coworkers. One of my coworkers ordered the half order of loaded breakfast nachos. It was huge and she definitely did not finish - we honestly should have just ordered a full order of the nachos for the table and shared. The other coworker and I ordered the thick cut bacon eggs benedict. Both of her eggs were runny and she enjoyed it. Neither of my eggs were runny. I definitely did not request a benedict with overcooked eggs. read more

Pretty solid brunch. My girlfriend and I split the hush puppies they were good could've used a little more crab but good. The chicken and waffles were good. The waffle was dense so if you're looking for surely just be warned but I liked it. The chicken was very good and flavorful. The restaurant is pretty and a great place for catching up. The service was great everybody was extremely friendly. Thank you! read more

Stopped in to order to go and the vibe was a bit odd. Like servers were chillin but they were acting busy. Not sure what was going on but anyway, we ordered the lump crab hush puppies (YES), the bone-in pork chop (YES), the gemeli pasta add chicken (NO there was no salt on the pasta at all and the thinnest piece of chicken I've ever seen), and because I'm a Bonvoy member, received a free dessert--the gooey butter cake with ice cream (YES). I also got the blackberry mule mocktail, which wasn't bad. All around not bad for $100. read more

This was at the Marriott across from the convention center. We sat in the bar area which was lively. The dining room was a bit quieter and everything was well decorated. Our server was nice and friendly. I ordered the steak and fries which was well cooked. I found the steak to be a little on the salty side which is why I rated 4 stars. read more

Came in for lunch from across street at convention center. Believe I got there at a great time they were only open 30 minutes so beat the crowd that ended up coming over at 12. The decor is very nice loved all the art and the TV Wall in the bar area was nice. There are two bars and plenty of comfortable seating. Trying to Fish (mahi) tacos with the the creamed street corn. The corn was pretty good at first I was unsure but it turned out to me my fav. The tacos were good portion just the fish was over cooked to me as it was tough and didn't taste like had any seasoning only taste profile was the sauce. The server was nice and efficient. Overall I would come back for sure. read more

A few of us were in town for business and came here for breakfast one morning. Service was provided by Tyler and he was very good with his customer service, discussion, knowledge of the menu, and helpfulness. Didn't take long for us to get our piping hot meals. The flavors were great, definitely not the typical "hotel food!" Breakfast menu is loaded with great options too. The venue is beautifully decorated as well. Definitely would return! read more

I visited Conner's during a conference for a hosted evening and was blown away by the food and drinks. The space is beautiful and much bigger than it looks, and our group occupied a large section in the back by the bar. The blackberry mojitos were delicious, and the spread of food we were treated to was top notch. I really enjoyed everything, and it was a fantastic spread- smoked brisket tacos, pommes puree (perhaps the best mashed potatoes I've ever had,) grilled carrots, lump crab hushpuppies, southern fried chicken and shoestring fries. The servers were attentive and made sure that we had plenty of notice on last call for our event. 10/10 experience. read more

I've had Conner's bookmarked for a while, so when my boyfriend made surprise reservations, I was pretty excited to visit! We stopped in on Wednesday night, before heading to a show and luckily we weren't in a rush b/c it took an hour to place our order and it wasn't busy. They did honor the free Appetizer coupon that popped up when I checked in, which was nice of them but it was the least they did. The food was alright and the hush puppies barely had crab meat in them. They did so little the server who did give us a check, told us we didn't need to tip - thanks for the first time experience. read more

The ambiance, atmosphere, and customer service are great. However the food wasn't good. The Mac n' cheese had green peas and bacon in it. Peas DO NOT belong in Mac n' cheese. It completely ruined the taste of the dish and I had to pick them out. The fries were decent with the bbq sauce. I would not return to this restaurant again. I was surprised to see for a nice restaurant, the menu is short with limited options. read more

Little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected given the location. read more

I met a group of friends here for drinks and dinner. There were 9 of us total and we were seated at a table which I would consider in the hallway. The main path for others to walk from the hotel area to the bar area of the restaurant or out the front door of the restaurant was between our table and a section of other tables. So that detracted from the cozy ambiance the rest of the restaurant has. Drinks were great - there were several tried at our table and no one complained. We shared the classic hummus and burrata toast as appetizers which were good but nothing extraordinary. I chose the shrimp and grits as my entree and it was really good. This is the first I've tried that and I was surprised by the slight heat it had, but I enjoyed that and would not classify it as overwhelming at all. Our server was very attentive as well. read more

TLDR: get the shrimp and grits, deviled eggs and old fashioned. The deviled eggs were really good. I loved the bacon bits and the sauce on the side. The shrimp and grits were so flavorful and creamy. Usually shrimp and grits have too much tomato or are blackened too death but this one was delicious. I'd get it again for sure. The rest of the menu was pretty underwhelming and nobody really said anything was that good. Service was really slow as well. I will say that everyone did LOVE their old fashioned and frequently got one of those to bring to their rooms. read more

For a hotel restaurant this spot is good. I've always seen it when looking for something new but passed because it's in a hotel. Went during devour, The place was empty, but a lot was going on that night in the city. The decor and ambience is very inviting and relaxing. My friend and I sat at the bar and ordered off the devoir menu and talk about a lot of food with great flavor. I got the BLT deviled eggs, Cesar salad, Waygu burger and the pb pretzel pie. Everything was great except the burger it was a little undercooked for my liking and not how I ordered it but the flavor was on point. The PB pretzel pie would be worth a rerun trip alone. Staff was welcoming and chatty. read more

Moved our kid into Purdue Indy campus and then he had an event to attend - said goodbye and hugged him so tightly - then immediately drove to our hotel and went to the bar - this place was perfect. Our waiter was perfect, knew when my doubles were empty, knew when my husbands Negronis were empty, knew what to say when I had a tear in my eye as I explained three doubles in short succession - the food was good too! No, really! Who gets excited about a bar menu? Not me, usually. But the brisket was tasty and the burrata toast was delicious, and then we ordered... something else I really liked but forgot what it was becasue of the six shots of vodka. Wait, just looked at the menu - it was the deviled eggs - I LOVE deviled eggs! They were bomb! Yes, 6 shots. Did I mention we had to say goodbye to our son? We flew home to CA the next day, but you can bet we will be coming to this bar every time we visit him in Indy! read more

The place is notably mediocre. Ambiance is solid. Lots of screens on the bar side, and a friendly server. We ordered a wagyu burger and a Caesar salad with salmon. Food took about 40 mins to come out in an empty restaurant. Server was kind, but disappeared for the most part. Salmon was dry and tasted more like char than anything. Same for the wagyu. They basically somehow tasted the same. Roasted garlic dressing for the Caesar (which the serve instead of Caesar dressing for some reason) tasted like miracle whip. I can't imagine the chef is back there thinking about being great. At least the fries were pretty good. We had to check out with a different server because ours had to leave. No one checked on us after the food came out. Not a disaster but pretty run of the mill. Only in a pinch. read more

My family had breakfast here and made a reservation beforehand which wasn't needed for the time we picked (9am on a Saturday) it was very quiet in the restaurant. Our server, Tyler, did a great job.

This place didn't have the same effect like it did the last time I went. Our server was Sara she was sweet and very attentive. However things still came up short. I loved my blackberry mock-tale. I'm a fan of ginger beer and they knocked it out the park. The jalapeño hush puppies were good but kind of dry. Also I got onion soup that was ok with more cheese than soup. All of our dishes came out warm not hot,which lead us to believe that it wasn't served immediately. Plus the menu items were very different than what I remember. For a Saturday at 7pm we got a table very quickly, which was nice. I do think I will revisit just to see if maybe it was an off night read more

Visited for Sunday brunch. Had the Bubbles and Bruch experience. Which was plenty for the two of us. Everything on the menu sounded so good we had a hard time deciding so we decided to split a few things . We started off with the Lump crab hush puppies. They were delicious. We then ordered both Smoked Brisket Hash the Pecan Praline French Toast to share. The hash had a great BBQ flavor. I don't like fatty meat. So I did have to dig around to find pieces that weren't fatty. But overall excellent flavor and the potatoes were cooked well. The Pecan Praline French toast was perfection. Not overly sweet. Our waitress was very attentive. Overall, one of the best brunch experiences I have had in recent months. read more

Drinks only review: My brother and I stopped in for a quick drink because his name was Conner and it's spelled exactly the same way as the restaurant. I really liked the atmosphere of this place as they have an indoor and outdoor section. The outdoor section faces the street and had a couple of seating areas and the inside was upscale as well offering a rustic industrial like feel. We ordered some drinks which was fine , a little expensive but it's probably because we were downtown I don't remember the service being over the top nice. The bartender came off a little rude but overall my brother and I had a good time. We opted to not stay and head somewhere else for dinner. read more

I had an opportunity to have a working lunch here today. The service was top tier! Troy was manager on duty and his demeanor and kindness was duly noted. Nick was our server, his attention to detail and kindness was unmatched. The atmosphere and scenery are amazing. There's ton of seating and foliage. There are groups of succulents all around and other air quality improvement plants. I had the queso and chips. The dip was good but the chips were just a smidge stale. My main entree was the hot honey chicken topped with pepper jack and slaw. It was tasty, not necessarily spicy hot, but tasty. read more
