I enjoyed this event at Easy Rider Diner. I had been wanting to try as I am a fan of diners, dives and drive-ins lol. I was not a fan of the drinks. I first tried Christopher oaxanao... can't really spell it but was told it sounded like walken? Anyway it was very bitter, took one sip and asked for a different drink, which they agreed to with no issue. The second drink was called no aloha. It was much better but tini wini! Lol I came home and fixed a good old glass of wine! Now to the food. I had honey hot chicken and sweet potatoes (fries) The flavors were perfect. I can't have dairy so I got honey hot dipping sauce . Perfect amount of spices and heat. I would like to come back and try the vegan nachos. The restaurant is designed like a diner. Nice atmosphere. Throwback music. It's right next to a concert venue.we got tickets to several concerts. Don't know if every customer gets that or it was only for the yelp event. event. I am interested in having brunch next time. Overall pretty good and fun night out. Don't think it would make Guy's pick list tho :) read more

We went to Easy Rider Dinet for dinner and it was just as good as brunch! Customer service 10 out of 10. Food 10 out of 10 ambience 10 out of 10. Easy Rider Diner is easily in my top 20 restaurants. The food is always amazing. If you think you have had steak fries before you really need to try theirs because they are out of this world. So many flavors going on, all complementing each other. The jalapeño cornbread was really good as well. It's a huge portion! read more

Easy Rider is a great spot in Fountain Square. I usually go for their chicken and waffles. However, today I tried the avocado toast. You can choose how you want your eggs and I picked scrambled. A ton of eggs came with the toast so I left stuffed! The fruit was delicious as a side and for the price I feel that the portion size was really good! On the toast there's avocado, of course, but also pickled veggies which complements the avocado toast nicely. I might want a thicker toast or a harder toast on the bread to hold up to all the toppings, so I plan to ask the next time I order! read more

Easy Rider is a restaurant by the same cats who run the HiFi, which is located next door. The HiFi is great, and Easy Rider is great. It's very simple. And by "great," I mean the food is way better than it needs to be, the service is excellent, the decor in the restaurant is eclectic and visually interesting, and most importantly: they have great coffee! This is important for a place that serves breakfast and brunch, which Easy Rider does. They also serve lunch, as well as dinner after 4 p.m. We visited for lunch, and got a bunch of different things, including the vegan tacos, which were stuffed with potatoes, chunks of tofu, vegan chorizo, peppers, pico de gallo and cilantro. One order is three gigantic tacos, of which I could only finish two! That's how big the order is. I only learned after the fact that you could get the tacos with corn tortillas if you request them. They come with flour tortillas, but my preference is always corn if it's available. We also got the short rib burrito, one of the specials of the day. The burrito was beef short rib, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, potatoes, cheddar cheese, chipotle mayonnaise wrapped in a flour tortilla. It was delicious, with chunks of perfectly stewed short rib. On the side, we also ordered jalapeno cheddar corn bread, plus the soup of the day, which was chicken tortilla soup. We seemed to have ordered a lot of the Mexican food options at Easy Rider, but they also have breakfast things like waffles and biscuits & gracy, as well as sandwiches and salads. There's also a full bar. When we visited, early episodes of Married with Children was playing on the TV. Yes! That's my kind of bar. read more

I've only been here during our annual visit to Post. Festival, which utilizes both the HiFi and HiFi Annex. So it's easily the quick and easy spot for food, not to mention the ability to see the shows on screen from the HiFi. The food here is excellent, very allergen-friendly, and service is top notch. I'm sure it can get frustrating with the crowds, but the staff is always so patient and helpful with all of the dietary needs of our group. (We're allergic to a lot!) I am not vegan myself, but the vegan tacos are *excellent.* Highly recommended. But honestly, there's not much here I wouldn't eat. (Except, you know, the stuff that inhibits my ability to breathe. But that is no fault of Easy Rider.) If you're in the neighborhood, especially for a show, stop in - you'll be happy you did. read more

Easy Rider Diner - Vegan Tacos - Comfort Food Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Located in or near the old G.C. Murphy building in Fountain Square, the Easy Rider Diner offers traditional comfort food with a southwestern twist. We were seated immediately without any wait and our server was very congenial. I ordered the Chilaquiles: tortilla chips, tomatillo salsa, eggs, queso fresco, lime crema, onions, cilantro and vegan chorizo. This dish is the epitome of comfort food. I look forward to trying some of their other selections. read more

Only chilaquiles and the adventure of trying a new spot could've lured me out of bed on a Sunday morning after an extra long week at work. I knew I wouldn't regret it! You know this is a good spot when there's a crowd of 20+ people waiting to get seated at as soon as they opened. I was so glad I made reservations in advance. The servers were friendly and kept our coffee cups full. The food was delicious. I'm sad this place is not closer to my house, it would be a weekend staple. Chilaquiles is my absolute favorite breakfast and it didn't disappoint. The chips were a the perfect mix of crispy and salty and the verde sauce was perfectly tangy with a little spice. My brother had the biscuits and gravy and liked everything, but loved the crispy potatoes best. read more

So happy we had a reservation. There was an art fair going on we knew nothing about. I liked the inside, it's very diner like. My husband ordered The Square Breakfast. It had, eggs, sausage, home fries and toast. He said it was all just very basic breakfast food. Nothing really great or memorable about it. I ordered the waffle and chicken. The chicken was very flavorful and was very good. The waffle just lacked flavor. They really need to add vanilla or something to the batter. I also ordered a side of bacon. It was absolutely the worst bacon I've ever had. I took a bite or two and just left the rest. Not going to be a place we'd go back to. Food was just basic. Service was good as was the music that was being played. Mostly heard stuff from the 80s. read more

Can you say ca-ute!!! This place is a gem in Fountain Square. The fried chicken... is great! Seasoned and battered to perfection! I'm not a sweet potato fries person but my husband loves them. We also noticed another couple order some chicken biscuits and we ordered those to go. Yes, they have drinks too! Want something strong and lemony??? Order the Hey Cowboy. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. Service was excellent and there was nice ambience about the place. Good music and soft lighting to set the perfect mood. read more

I had never been to this gem and I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't been in the location since the previous place (which has been some time). It was PACKED. It wasn't necessarily a great weather day so I have to assume it was some of the eclipse traffic. They had GF items labeled, which is of course my thing. I started off with a Redneck Barbie (in honesty, this will be my last). It tasted like a sour starburst. Note - still a 5 star review so this will not hinder my decision going forward. I had the huevos rancheros, one person had the vegan tacos and another had the omelet. I grabbed pancakes and bacon to take home for my daughter. The food was phenomenal and our server was great. Every meal that came out looked absolutely delicious so I can't wait to return and sample more of the menu. read more

Great service, plenty of room for groups, reservations accepted AND their food is really tasty. I'm a fan! Creative takes on familiar favorites. We had: biscuit waffle bites flight - loved this! Came with peach butter, hot honey, raspberry purée, and apple purée/sauce. avocado turkey melt - savored this sandwich! Get the sweet potato fries - they're the best I've ever had! Excited to eat my leftovers! My friends seemed to enjoy their chilaquiles and hashbrown casserole. Yum! read more

This place is a total greasy spoon dive which is exactly what I expected. They have Old Style and Stroh's in cans! The food is a Mish mash of breakfast and Mexican with a touch of gastropub. I had the pork belly Cuban sandwich which was as fatty and delicious as it sounds. We. Finished the night with the waffle flight (biscuit batter waffle pieces served with various sweet dipping sauces (hot honey, peach butter, fruit compote, etc). read more

A hipster place with classic diner portions - easy rider's menu is full your favorite items with a twist. I got the strawberry and cream waffle which was overly artificial red from the syrup and it was a little soggy from how much was soaked up. I also got the sweet potato wedges which had great seasoning and were perfectly done. Overall I'm a little lukewarm but I'd give them another shot. read more

Easy Rider Diner: the dinner to the show! Located right next to the HiFI, the Easy Rider Diner is the go-to place to grab a bite before a concert. The space is somewhat small but still very cozy. They have plenty of bar style seating, which is ideal if you tend to fly solo for concert plans (and the meal before), like me I arrived at 5:30 before a 7:45 show (doors open at 7) and I had food within 20 minutes of being seated and had friendly service to boot! I ordered... Steak and cheese sandwich ($15): with pickled onions, roasted peppers, and bacon. This is the perfect sized sandwich and one of their more expensive sandwiches, so it looks like you're in for a good deal here. My only (minute) critique is that the steak is a little thick, so this is more of the knife and fork sandwich. Cool hand cuke ($7): as the resident sober gal of Yelp Indy, I love love loveeee any place that has mocktail options beyond the basic soda (which I don't even drink anyway). Bonus points for any place that offers mixed up mocktails beyond the canned/bottled mocktails. Bonus bonus points if you can get a couple different options of mixed up mocktails. Omg anyway with the drink, it's like a mix between a Moscow mule and a mojito and couldn't help myself to order a couple. It's that good.

Was really excited to try this place based on the review's. It's in heart of Fountain Square. I'm always looking for a good brunch place. This is a good one. We tried the waffle flight, chicken and waffles with hot honey and eggs Benedict served with short rib meat. Everything was delicious but the eggs Benedict had to be the best out of the three. Even the seasoned potatoes it cane with were prepared perfectly. The waffle flight came with several dipping sauces and the waffle was cut up to. Just pick up and dip. We did not have any left overs. They have a few other items I can't wait to try like the hash brown casserole and breakfast hash. They offer a full bar and craft cocktails. There is a rewards program too. Great food and service only minor draw backs are parking and was kinda loud. Looking forward to next time. read more

Service - we made a reservation for 4 on a Saturday morning a few hrs before getting there and we were seated so promptly despite the morning bustle. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful! They also have a full service bar Ambiance - loved the millennial playlist! They had some great 90s-2000s pop, hip-hop, and r&b playing throughout that I found myself absentmindedly humming to randomly. The walls have some cool quirky paintings throughout the place. Felt like a cozy diner but also eclectic house party Food - We shared the sweet potato wedges, cornbread, and waffle flight as a table. I'm not normally a big fan of sweet potato, but man, they were done so well! I kept reaching over for more lol. The cornbread was fine, nothing too crazy to write home about. But the waffles were great! Comes out as little bite sized pieces that you can add a variety of toppings to (berry compote, hot honey, peach butter, and regular butter). My favorites were the hot honey and berry compote. Definitely gave funnel cake vibes with the perfect crunch of cinnamon sugar while still melting in my mouth. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the short rib topping was so flavorful. Overall it was a delicious meal! I'm excited to eat my leftovers! We all left full and happy. Definitely will be back. read more

Second time eating at the Easy Rider. Made a reservation, but there were plenty of open tables so we were seated early. Service was a little slow and my meal was just average. I had the avocado toast that was lite on avocado, but piled high of greens and other garnishment. I've had better here, so I'll give the easy rider more more try. As it is said, the third time is a charm... read more

I visited Easy Rider Diner as part of a Yelp event and my husband ordered his own Vegan biscuits and gravy. The gravy had a beautiful meaty texture and was still vegan so we had a pretty tasty meal. The vibe and the overall decor is pretty colorful giving a very fusion disco yet diner ambience. The crowd was neither too laidback nor too classy making is just the perfect Friday date night dinner spot. Highly recommend trying Easy Rider Diner!! read more

The good: The atmosphere is really cute! And the music was the perfect volume. The cocktails were great. I had The Sunday Girl and it was perfectly balanced. The bad: The food took 43 minutes to arrive at our table. It was only a turkey sandwich and a side of grits! It wasn't even acknowledged by staff that it took so long. After it finally arrived it was soggy and less than presentable. The only advocacy I might give them is that it was brunch on a Sunday. It still just wasn't a good experience. I left with the feeling of "cool place to work, not a cool place to get good service" read more

Delish! Impressed my friends by taking them to Easy Rider. I got the waffle flight and a side of eggs. The peach butter is EVERYTHING. If I wasn't in public I would've licked that ramekin clean. Judge me. I don't care. The waffles are crispy! And trying all of the sauces is fun! With the amount of sauce you get you really need more waffle in my opinion. One friend got the chicken and waffles and the chicken looked really good. Service was okay! The hostess at the front was not the most friendly. Our waitress was nice but again not very friendly. But our food came out decently fast with no issues so can't complain. read more

Easy Rider combines great atmosphere with excellent service and unique and delicious food items. Getting to Fountain Square isn't always easy and neither is parking, but I have to say that this meal made it worthwhile! Easy Rider also has great options for people with food, allergies, and they are more than willing to work with you based on dietary needs and requirements. It's excellent and unique and deserves to be a fixture in our Restaurant community. I look forward to the next time I'm able to dine there. read more

Absolutely love the art and the vibrant atmosphere! The music and overall vibe are fantastic.

Came here for a brunch with some girlfriends, the hostess wasn't the nice and honestly neither were the rest of the staff (with the exception of our amazing server and the bartender was great) maybe it was just an off day. I was seated first till the rest of the party arrived, when she took me to our table a couple of buss boys was chilling on the table watching tv lol it was a little awkward when she told them to get up. I had an espresso martini made with bourbon (AMAZING) so amazing I had two lol. I've never had eggs Benedict before but ordered it based on my friend's recommendation and it was SUPERB! The meat was so tender just needed a little salt and pepper and I would have preferred the benny on an English muffin instead of the toast, but I'd definitely get it again. read more

I've been twice in the last couple months and love it! They make delicious breakfast items and are vegan friendly - I recommend the vegan tacos and biscuits and gravy. My favorite touch is the random assortment of mugs they use! Our waiters have been excellent each time and super accommodating especially with an infant. Everyone was kind. This physical space is already comfortable to me because I visited the previous business frequently. The art and vibe is cozy diner with modern touches. Not loud despite what feels like a snuggle fit between tables. Kid friendly and baby changing table. read more

I regret going on the weekend for my first visit haha it was definitely crowded and definitely loud BUT food was great! Service was a tad slow (took around 45 minutes after being seated for our meals to arrive). Cocktail was great (redneck blonde). Breakfast burrito was delicious. The only thing that would've made it better: fresh cilantro. Kids meal was decent size for $9. I'll for sure be back (with friends), loved the menu items and cocktail menu. read more

The hostess sat us right away. She wasn't exactly friendly. The waitress came to take our drink orders and asked if we had any questions. I asked what the soup of the day ahead said they didn't have any. When she came back we place our orders she couldn't enter the Cobb salad. She went back to the kitchen to find out why. They didn't have avocado. I still wanted the salad with grilled chicken. Notice my salad doesn't have chicken on it. She did bring it out about halfway through the meal. It took forever to get our food, obviously that was a kitchen problem. Overall my salad was good. The eggs Benedict the short ribs were extremely salty. The club was good the bread was extra thick. read more

I had the Breaded Tenderloin Sandwich, along with a Side Salad. The Tenderloin was about 8 inches square, and almost an inch thick! The best tenderloin I've had in a very long time. Very tasty, juicy and yummy! The sad, little salad was basically some lettuce, sprinkles of cheese (great for digestion), and croutons. A total waste of time, plus, the lady cashier who took my order, or someone, gave me Caesar dressing, when I specifically requested Ranch-a huge difference. Wish I'd asked for the Fries! At $15 bucks, ok, but NOT worth it! Nothing like being ignored, as though you don't really matter! read more

This park is located in the heart of fountain square. There is free street parking within a reasonable walking distance from this place, but it is a bit tight and you may have to search for it. The front of this diner is not marked very good, but here is a hint. It is colocated with the Hi-Fi bar. The diner has a decent sized dining are with booths and tables. It is a neat little place with a cool vibe. They were playing classic soul music throughout the dining area. It was also very clean. They do not have a very large menu, but it is very efficient and packed with some good cafe favorites, some of which are very unique and creative. I was here for breakfast and it was hard for me to decide what I wanted. I will admit that it took a while for my server to get to me after I was seated, I would say it was over five minutes and they were not very busy. When he finally got to me I ordered the breakfast hash with a side of bacon and sweet plantains. I ordered some OJ to wash it down. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food and It was picture perfect. I will say that the sides are kind of small though. I got three slices of bacon and three pieces of plantain. The has was not mixed up, which was no big deal. It component was placed in the skillet individually. I just mixed it up myself. The food was delicious. I really loved the hash. It was very flavorful. I went through it like a hot knife through butter. The bacon was well cooked and very meaty. Not too crispy and not too soft. It was made just right. Th plantains were on point as well. I got them to-go and ate them a bit later and they were still fresh and good. All-in-all this is a decent diner that is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and diner. It is open late and they have some amazing food. Since they are colocated with a bar, you can also get some adult beverages to go with your meal. This place is a 4.5 star place, but closer to a four than a five in my opinion. It is definitely worth checking out and is now on my list to bring visitors from out of town to. read more

Milktooth has some serious competition on Virginia Ave. Easy Rider has a cool atmosphere that it shares with the concert venue, Hi-Fi, in the adjacent space. Good music welcomes you over the sound system while you get seated. The menu is lots of elevated brunch dishes - many with Southwestern influences. I got the baked eggs which was a skillet of cheese, Chorizo, and eggs. Spicy and delicious. Really needs to come with some potatos or something - need alot of starch to mop up that goey mess. The toast wasnt enough. But I enjoyed it. Staff was prompt with the coffee and kept the bar partons happy with brunch libations. I'll be back ! read more

Went for brunch with the kids. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. We are picky and don't like things fried with meat items. They do not fry the items together! We got the: breakfast burrito (with impossible chorizo), black bean burger with fries, jalapeño cornbread, and vegan veggie scramble. Everything was delicious. The veggie scramble barely had tofu: it was more of a mix of veggies with some tofu pieces. Crowded so expect to wait; make reservations if possible. Our server was nice. Will return to try other items on the menu. read more

I went here twice in two weeks and have yet to post my review until now!! This place is only 3 minutes from the school that I teach at so this is the place to be for the teachers at my school! I have to give major props to the staff at this restaurant for tolerating my group the first time. I used to be a server so I hated when people would change seats and the number of people in their group, and that's exactly what my group kept doing (I swear it was not my choice!!) I stuck with water to drink, but one of my coworkers got a bloody mary, and I tried a sip. It was literally heaven on Earth, and I am dying to come back on a Sunday when my fiance can drive me so that I can have one myself!! The first time I went, I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap with a side salad with ranch. There's nothing more to say than how delicious it was!! The wrap has lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion with the warm buffalo chicken. The side salad is a generous portion as well!! Both the salad dressing and the buffalo chicken wrap were pretty salty, but that doesn't bother me a lot. It was definitely noticeable though. The next time I went, I ordered the club sandwich and asked for no cheese and another side salad. This was also delicious (but not as good as the buffalo chicken wrap). The portion size is big so that's something to be aware of, but not something to complain about! I appreciate their prices as well. I don't think they're unreasonable at all. Overall, I will definitely come back here considering it's the perfect spot for the teachers to have a drink and eat after school! read more

Easy Rider is attached to the Hi-Fi concert venue and brings all day (elevated) diner food to Fountain Square. We visited on a Friday while a concert was going on at the Hi-Fi, and we were excited to see there was an open door between the restaurant and the music venue. While the pass through was solely meant for concert attendees to have a second bar option, it was nice for us at the restaurant to get a peek inside and add to the ambiance. They also had a live feed from the stage on the screens - it was such a nice touch. The restaurant wasn't overly busy when we visited on a Friday night, but the vibe of the space was still great. I saw more reviews for their brunch food than their dinner menu, so I was nervous about the quality of the dinner dishes. However, the food totally surpassed my expectations! Everything had nice flavor and the serving sizes were good for the cost. I had the carnitas tacos and tried a bite of the fish sandwich with mac & queso as a side. I'm not a huge buffalo sauce fan, so the sandwich was not my taste - but two others in our party loved it and shared it had a nice kick but wasn't overly spicy. The carnitas tacos were recommended by my waiter over the fish tacos. I loved the taste of the pork belly with the avocado salsa on top. Easy Rider just fits perfectly in Fountain Square. They know the personality of the neighborhood and add to the great food offerings in the area. I can't wait to come back for brunch! Pro tip: if it's your first time in Fountain Square, it's nice to know the parking is free. There are several public lots nearby Easy Rider Diner or on-street parking options around the businesses. read more
