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

Conner's Kitchen + Bar - Baked Mac & Cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Overall, solid place! I had a late lunch here during the VERY busy Taylor Swift concert weekend. I have to hand it to the staff here because they were hustling and handling the crowds very well. I ordered the mac and cheese and it was pretty good! Great space to catch a sports game on TV. Our server Brittany was fantastic! Little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected given the location. 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

Way too many haters on my favorite chain hotel restaurant in Indy for 2024! Amazing people watching with frontage on the convention center and victory field. They have a neighbor discount & the food is always satisfying albeit usually unhealthy lol. read more

We're here again to eat this time for dinner. Again the food is so awesome. We had truffle fries, gemelli with grilled shrimp and old fashioneds. The service is excellent and the ambiance is casual but could also be romantic. Will probably be back again before the end of this trip. This place is just so good 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. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles which was great. The only downside in my opinion is the price. 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 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

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

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

The food was ok. I ate at the bar. I almost resigned myself to the idea that I would just eat somewhere else because the bartender seemed to prioritize washing glasses and making drinks for the dining room over asking if I needed anything. The appetizer was good and the Delmonico steak was ok. The service and attentiveness could use some work. read more

Nachos. Let's talk about the nachos. Never seen this before but, the loaded nachos were loaded with egg. Yes, whipped up fried eggs no yolk. Along with all the other stuff nachos come with. They were delicious and a heeling helping. Fed the whole group. Ms. Chi and her service was a doll. Highly recommend! read more

Conner's has a nice layout and an agreeable ambiance and personality. It is connected to the Marriott (proper) hotel. The staff is always pleasant and agreeable. Food? Really good- not great. I certainly recommend giving them a try. But... (You knew there was a "but" coming). I have visited a few times and they seem to struggle with the small things. I always feel like I need to ask for everything. It can get a bit annoying. May I have straw? Could I trouble for napkins? May have a few to-go boxes? Do you have smaller to-go boxes? Could I have a BAG for my to-go boxes? Perhaps I am being a bit nit-picky but at some point it is nice to be served. Have a true dinning out experience. It is always refreshing when there server is proactive instead of reactive. They are not quite there yet. read more

I was here on the day of the Indy mini marathon. While my husband pounded out 13.1 miles I indulged in BLT deviled eggs and lump crab hush puppies, both were delicious and I would definitely order them again. I got the peach cobbler cocktail, it was very tasty. I was waited on by Julie and she was amazing and attentive. I will definitely come back here next year. read more

Conner's Kitchen + Bar - BLT Deviled Eggs, Lump Crab Hush Puppies - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Conner's Kitchen bar is just off the Marriott in between the Westin off Maryland. It's a little unassuming on a mild February day. Wasn't sure what big was hungry for while walking over from the Homewood, but wanted something different. It was a Sunday and I am never sure of what restaurants are open, especially when I stay downtown. Upon entering the first thing I smelled was the sweet smell of maple syrup and cinnamon. I seated myself at the far end of the bar facing the restaurant entrance, easier to people watch that way. The bartender was quick with a menu and some water. He gave me time to read the brunch menu and then provided me with suggestions, which was the Smoked Brisket Hash. He stated it's cooked slowly for 8 hours and is served with potatoes veggies and a fried egg on top. So I went with his recommendation. While I waited for food I noticed even at 1:30 pm the bar area was still packed and people had a lot of food on their tables. The poor guy next to me was finishing and you could tell by his body language he had eaten way too much of his praline-coated French toast that looked more like a big piece of cake. My food came out pretty quickly and was nice and warm. The meat was super tender and the sauce was a bit spicy, which was fine for me but might cause others to shy away. The atmosphere was vibrant and despite how busy it didn't seem that loud. I will be back for their regular menu. read more

Husband and I decided to stay DT after work for dinner and Conner's was great choice. We kept it simple with two entrees; Halibut & Waygu Cheeseburger. We added Parmesan and truffles to the fries and it elevated the fries as well. Charles was our server and he was attentive and provided great service. Overall awesome meal and left very satisfied! read more

I'm not normally a fan of hotel restaurants. Sure in Europe, hotel restaurants are actually the spendy, high quality eateries, but here in the good ole US they tend to be sub par almost being tourist quality fare. This place is in the Marriott Downtown, so of course I was doubtful. But meetings went late and the people I was with were hungry so we grabbed a table. How glad I am we did. The burger was fantastic! Fresh greens, need patties perfectly cooked medium rare. The cheese was melted just right, and juices were flowing down my chin despite my best attempts at propriety. Although I can't vouch for it myself, the fried chicken looked amazing and my colleague confirmed it. So although there are some great places nearby in downtown Indy, if you're looking for a quality meal without having to leave the lobby, you should grab a table yourself. read more

Close to the convention center and very spacious, high ceiling, relaxed vibe. Menu is not too overwhelming and everything looked good. We had the grilled cheese with bacon added; the bread was a perfect sourdough and it hit the spot. The fries were skinny and crispy and perfect saltiness. The PIG Sandwich also very delicious. I'm only giving four stars because of the printed beer menu. Sorry! All it lists is the brewery and the city but doesn't list the beers that are available. Unfortunately, our server was not very knowledgeable about any of it and I ended up getting a beer that I didn't want. And if I'd seen the name of the beer I definitely would not have ordered it. So make sure you ask somebody who knows what they're talking about or go up to the bar directly. Weird. read more

Came on Saturday around 11.15am; place was only half full. Waited 30 minutes for our food. Avacado toast was burnt and cold, fried eggs ordered well-done were runny. Server was very apologetic and at least the manager didn't charge us for the food. read more

Stayed in the hotel for the night and decided I need something quick and easy after working long 6 days straight. I went to the host table and said, "Hi, just one." casually. Host lady Erika replied back "HELLO?!? HELLO?" I was shocked why she's giving me this type of manner as a restaurant worker.. and why. so I said um Hi.. then she continued "there you go HAHAHA"... i said. I said Hi just as I approached ... she continued that I didn't and argued how I didn't respond her. why am I getting this type of service as a customer ?? I am so confused. Definitely wasn't necessary and created a horrible impression for the restaurant itself. I've turned around because I didn't think my own time and money is worth this place. Nobody wanna eat in any restaurant how you treat customer like this. Erika, if you can't let it go any conversation error, and be so quick to judge maybe customer service isn't a place for you. I do come back for work sometime so I really wish I didn't have to experience this type of issue here. Very sad! read more

So...A few months ago I participated in my first Yelp Mazes through the Marriott event and I was the recipient of a complementary dinner for 4 with a restaurant of my choosing within the Marriott Indy Place restaurant group! I selected Conner's Kitchen + Bar located in downtown Indianapolis inside Marriott Indy place. Last night, our party of 4 joined for a fabulous dinner and double date, starting off with a complimentary bottle of wine. We selected the Chardonnay after the recommendation from the restaurant's AMG. We shared a bottle and our table had two complimentary appetizers including our choice of the Lump Crab Hushpuppies (Fan favorite and most ordered appetizer at this restaurant) and Roasted Brussel Sprouts (the Brussels were a group favorite). Four entrees could be selected so our group chose the Shrimp and Grits, Fish Tacos, Southern Fried Chicken, and Fresh Sirloin plates. The menu is a larger variety of American classic dishes, savory and large portions! Your party can choose from the menu and everyone should be able to leave full and satisfied. (I mostly took reels and videos of the food so not able to add to this review but believe me they looked and tasted as great as my entree!) This was the perfect night to unwind, enjoy indoor seating along with the outdoor breeze and watching the fire pit displays on the patio. We enjoyed a few cocktails ordered individually, and finished off our dinner with complimentary desserts. My friends shared the Butter Cake with vanilla ice cream and I had a Moscato on the house. With outstanding hospitality, and out of sheer gratitude we generously left a tip for our waitress and thanked the entire staff. Garage parking is validated at the end of your reservation (so no worrying about finding street parking in Downtown). I highly recommend checking out Conner's Kitchen + Bar on game days, football season is here! The bar is top notch and there are plenty of tv screens to catch the most watched games. Go Colts! Thank you again to Marriott Indy Place, Yelp, Yelp Indy, and of course Conner's Kitchen + Bar for everything. Last night will leave memories for me and my friends to keep a lifetime. 08/20/22 - Jackie M. read more

Blah...everything needed salt! Nice place, atmosphere great and service was very good. Food just ok.

I've been to Conner's a couple times and always enjoy the food ( the salads here never disappoint) and drinks. The service and atmosphere is always great as well. Sometimes it can be a little loud and it is a hotel restaurant so it can get really hectic during events. I don't typically frequent this area of downtown, but for certain events I have definitely made this spot one of my go-to's. read more

My parents nor I wanted to host, cook/clean for Thanksgiving. Conner's was thankfully open and allowed for reservations. They had their lunch menu available during the day and no special menu or extras for Thanksgiving. We started with the BLT deviled eggs with peppered aioli. The app comes with four eggs topped with bacon, tomatoes and lettuce, dont forget to make sure you slide your egg in the aioli on the bottom. Next we ordered the smoked brisket tacos, fish tacos, Notorious PIG and grilled cheese for lunch and French Onion soup. The french onion soup came out first after what seemed like a little long of a wait and then the food came a little longer after. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. My mom and I traded our tacos so we could try one of each the brisket and fish. The brisket was by far my favorite of the two. The tacos were enormous!! Definitely thankful we didn't have to cook or clean. read more

When you first walk into Conner's you can't help but take in the ambiance and open lighting of the space. We were very excited for our brunch and quickly sat down. The manager Jeff was very accommodating and even offered us cocktails as we sat down. Overall the service was 5 stars. Though on the other hand I felt the food was sub par because of under seasoned hash browns and egg white omelette. The poached egg on the avocado bruschetta was not poached properly as the egg was slightly too runny. However, the lemon pancakes were to DIE for! Just the right amount of lemon and not too tart. Overall the service was amazing and hopefully we will be back for a better food experience! read more
