Wanted to get some chips salsa snacky type with our brews so we ordered two of them for our table of 6 and onion rings. Salsa was ok, nothing fancy or really tasty tasty. The slaw side should be a guacamole instead. Slaw goes great on shrimp tacos but ehh for chips and dip, it missed. Corn side was mediocre. Kind of bland. Maybe some cojito cheese would have made it better. The onion rings could have been better for the price. Definitely not something I'd want to go back to for again. Mateo's salsa and a bag of chips from Kroger would have been better. read more

I was hanging out with friends at Sun King Fishers and wanted to grab a bite to eat, so I placed an order through the QR scanner on the table for Fishers Test Kitchen. I have had food at the kitchen before and it is very good. I decided to order the cowboy burger with loaded onion rings. The cowboy burger was cooked beautifully and tasted incredible. The loaded onion rings were delicious. Fishers Test Kitchen is a great place within Sun King Fishers if you want to grab a bite to eat while enjoying a beer with friends. The only difference is you order at the table through the QR scanner and you pick up your food at the designated kiosk in the kitchen. There is no face to face interaction with a person, which some people may not like, but it is a great feature at Sun King Fishers because it is constantly busy and you can get your food right away as soon as it is available. I have enjoyed the food at Fishers Test Kitchen very much and will continue to do so every time I come to Sun King Fishers. read more

We went here one evening to try the OTP burger. I recommend FTK, as it's a clean and well maintained space with different food options and even trivia some nights. There is plenty of seating and the staff is friendly. As for OTP, we weren't impressed. The burger was average. Too much dry bun and not enough flavor. The special sauce tasted like potato salad and was not great on a burger. read more

This is the little food court inside Sun King. They are 3 good stands that change periodically. Right now there's a burger place, a fried chicken place, and a taco stand. Order using the QR codes on the tables or at the touchscreens at each stand (it doesn't matter which one you go to - you can order from any and all of the restaurants from any touchscreen). read more

A staple in Fishers! We're probably here once or twice a week. Our little one loves the outdoor space in the Fishers District and every now and then the restaurants will shuffle and provide a space for new concepts. There is also a private dining room that can be used for small groups. The upstairs now is 21+ and includes ping pong, TVs, and Golden Tee. read more

I was told they had brisket tacos that were like birria tacos - which happen to be my favorite but are hard to find. There are 3 Test Kitchen restaurants, plus an offshoot of Sun King (main restaurant is connected). I went for dinner and got a Juicy Brisket Taco and a Juicy Pork Taco from Gorditos. They were good. I liked the pork taco the best. The description actually says that the pork taco is their take on the birria which is usually beef. There is also a Sun King bar in the space and lots of tables. I sat at the bar, got a drink, and ate there. The bartender was great. It was very busy in the space, and looks like it is a very popular place. I want to try the other Test Kitchen restaurants. read more

For a first-timer, it's a little confusing and there's not much direction. It wasn't clear if we were allowed to sit at the tables so we sat at the bar. Some of the food was delicious and I can highly recommend it. It would have been nice to meet the chefs but they were not there. Thankfully there was one guy behind the counter at the middle restaurant and he helped guide us through ordering everything. Yes- jambalaya and carnitas tacos No- wings & Sunking read more

Finally got to try Fishers Test Kitchen, what a great concept! It was very busy on a Thursday evening and there was a wait to get a table. Parking is difficult, and traffic can be bad with drivers speeding around searching for a parking space. It was raining heavily and several drivers were simply leaving their vehicles in the street while they went inside to pick up food. The unoccupied vehicles in the street caused congestion when other drivers couldn't get around them. Other drivers began driving in the wrong lane to get around the unoccupied vehicles, a real traffic mess. For an appetizer I tried some Oui Oui style fries at One Trick Pony. Fries were excellent, topped with gravy and grilled onions. A nice starter. For our meal we went to Gordito's Rustbelt Tacos & Tortas. This place was outstanding! We were able to sit inside, as there are several seats at a counter. It was definitely entertaining to watch the chef at work while eating our meal. We ordered Nachitos Gordito's. The tortilla chips are house-made, and the refried banzogis have an amazing flavor and texture. Drizzled with peach morita, which was smoky and spicy, one of the best salsas I have ever tried. We ordered an extra side to drizzle on our tacos as well. We ordered slow roasted chicken tacos and juicy vegetarian banzogis tacos. We tried the orange sauce and green sauce, each was mildly spicy and full of flavor. Service was enthusiastic and excellent, the menu was explained thoroughly with a description of each item, side, and salsa. You can tell these guys really love what they do and the recipes and combinations they create. An epic experience! I really like Fishers Test Kitchen, with the exception of the parking problem. Maybe party isn't always an issue but tonight, on a rainy Thursday evening it was quite brutal. read more

The Test Kitchen is attached to the Fishers' Sun King Brewery, in that awesome area near IKEA. This is the second time we've tried to eat lunch here... the first time the table ordering system was down and the lines at the kitchen kiosks were not moving, so we left. Today, we tried again and found the table ordering system was down again. You're supposed to be able to sit down and scan the card at your table and order from any of the kitchens, and it will be brought to your table. Frustratingly, was down again. Simple enough, you can order at the kiosks up front. The place was pretty empty and there were no employees to ask questions of. Once we put our order in, it said we could get our own soft drinks but there was no one behind the counters to give us cups. I kept standing there for 10 minutes just to see if I could go ahead and get my cups for drinks. There is a separate area that's just the bar and I walked over there and flagged down a male employee who at first told me I had to wait for my food to come out and they'd give me my cups then. When I nicely said I'd just like to be able to go ahead and get my drink, he proceeded to walk back over to the counter I'd been waiting at and reached across and grabbed my cups. It was only right after that that someone came from the back and started making our order. So at that point, our order had been in for more than ten minutes and they were just coming from the back to start it. And no, there were no other orders at that point. I sat down and watched and waited and did receive the text that our order was ready for pickup at the counter. By the time I made ten steps to pick up my food, the lady had already disappeared back into the back. My food was just left sitting there. The food was good... nothing spectacular but definitely not bad. We had Gorditas tacos... chicken, brisket, pork... and street corn and chips, salsa, queso. But we won't be back. We were almost done with our food when a female bartender walked the floor and asked if I wanted anything else to drink... by then my answer was no. The Carmel Sun King Brewery just seems to have their act together much better than this location. I love the concept but if it doesn't work the way it should, it doesn't work. read more

This was a pretty good experience we came at 6 o clock and it was SOO BUSY and wen I mean busy I mean busy we sat our selves and it was really hard to get a table you have to scan a barcode to order it has your table number and you add what you want to your cart and it charges to the table wen we got the food I ordered a do it your self cheeseburger and I just got meat cheese and bun nothing else so wen it's ready you will get a text message that's it's ready and you go to the pickup and you get the food your self anyway the burger I ordered was SUPPOSED TO ONLY HAVE CHEESE MEAT AND A BUN but it had pickles and that is just sad anyway I took the pickles off and the burger WAS SOO GOOD and that's why 4 stars. read more

This place absolutely sucks and I can't figure out why there are other people in here. The online ordering process is ridiculously cumbersome and waiting for the web site to load between screens is stupid. We finished a beer between menu screen reloads. Is this on purpose? The menu is 100% gen-Z, calling out screen after screen of warnings of dozens alerts of allergy, sensitivity, and political dietary precautions. Meat is not called "meat" but instead "protein" to assuage the guilt and shame of ordering (gasp!) actual meat. Our order came out wrong. After the ridiculously slow web-based ordering we sucked it up. We weren't going to complain. And the food was bland, considering the dozen superior restaurants nearby within walking distance that knew how to apply appropriate spices and seasonings to food. Hell, the sushi bar at Kroger was looking mighty tasty, even if we had to eat it in the parking lot. All of this while watching the blue-haired guy with horned-rimmed eyeglasses and Hawaiian shirt drink his beer from a straw. I guess it just isn't our demographic. read more

If you have not been to Fishers Test Kitchen yet, you definitely have to check it out! It is a Sunking Brewery with Cafeteria style food options. We ate the One Trick Pony and my boyfriend said it's one of the best smash burgers he has ever had. The burgers come with "dandy sauce" which is similar to Big Mac sauce. If you plan to dine in, make sure you talk to the front desk first to get a table. They're great and the reservation process is super easy. There are other options there right now too and we can't want to try the others! read more

Food takes a while. Don't expect to be in and out within 30 mins. Cool concept though with the Sun King beers.

We ate at the Signature Table inside the Fishers Test Kitchen, which is inside the Sun King Brewery. The Signature Table area features different pop up restaurants in an intimate bar counter style seating (seats about 8 or 10, I think). We attended when it was Serendipity Public House, and had a delicious meal of gourmet burgers -- we got a combo pack for $25 and it featured a mini crab cake, mini elk burger, mini chimi-burger, mini brie burger, mini bacon jam burger, and the house made tator tots with with truffle oil and parmasean topping. The hubs & I are big eaters, but this was enough for two of us with leftovers to take home! Alcohol is available from the on-site Sun King. (I had the sour cherry, which I enjoyed.) It was all a #yum. I have signed up for the Test Kitchen newsletter to stay up to date about what else will be hosted here -- so fun! (Dec update: they were doing masks when we were there but have posted that events are currently suspended with covid.) Also, when I called to reserve our pop up seat, and then the person who checked us in wand was so pleasant and helpful was none other than the founder, Jolene Katzenberger, so that was cool to get to chat with her a bit (which she was gracious to do, even though she was busy). I would definitely go back for more pop up events, as well as to try the "regular" offerings from the Test Kitchen. #ReviewsByRL read more

Fishers Test Kitchen is the best thing since sliced bread. Especially when that bread is actually a mini bao bun with fried chicken and spicy honey on it. What is it you ask?! Fishers Test Kitchen is essentially a space (within/next to Sun King Brewery) that houses three food vendors who only signed a year-long lease to kickstart a new foodie business venture. At the end of the year, they can renew the lease or end it, which allows them to attempt experimental dishes without much risk. Currently, the Test Kitchen hosts: - Korave: a Korean bbq, fast-casual spot that offers tacos, dubbop (rice bowl with either bulgogi beef, chicken, pork or tofu), bulgogi poutine, mee-chin nachos, and mandoo (Korean dumplings). I enjoyed the beef bulgogi bowl with purple rice and it was AMAZING. It's the item I'll come back for. - Lil' Dumplings: a spot that cooks up 'global street food' and offers chicharones, Szechuan hot chicken steam buns, oyaki cheesesteak dumplings, lamb chili & cheese dog, avocado huarache, lobster corn dog fritters, falafel, okonomiyaki smashburgers, and a kid's menu. The chef is also the co-owner of Rook downtown, which is already one of the city's favorite spots. I tried the hot chicken steam bun and although it was a bit too spicy for my palate, it was good and I enjoyed watching how much care chef Carlos took in making it. - Natural State Provisions: a southern food spot that uses natural ingredients and is brought to us by the owners of King Dough. They make salads, fried chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, big turkey sandwiches on texas toast, burgers on texas toast, biscuit egg sandwiches, or sides of collard greens, tots, coleslaw, desserts, etc. I haven't tried this one yet but I'll be back for that chopped salad! - The Signature Table: described as "a performance and teaching kitchen designed for dinners, tasting events and classes with top chefs, beverage specialists and creative food artisans from around the region." You can attend an event or book out room for yourself (fits about 12 people) and it was built in an effort to make the area more entrepreneurial. My initial thoughts are: wow, I'm so happy we have a food hall that is supporting local chefs so well. I also am thrilled to have the opportunity to try so many new foods that we didn't have in the neighborhood. I do wish that there were a few healthier options (seems to be a lot of fried things), but it is attached to a brewery, so I understand those pairings. Go explore it for yourself! read more

Yes, please. Please make more places like this, where people can congregate together and eat good food, drink good drinks and have fun. I love that Fishers Test Kitchen is family-friendly. There are board games that you can play -- they are located on the first floor by the store area. There's cornhole upstairs on the balcony. Each restaurant in this food court-style place has a kids menu. There is a big, open area with soft grass where kids can run around and tackle each other. (I'm almost positive that they didn't intend for that to happen when they designed this area, but when you have a big circle of soft grass, and you have kids, someone is running around and someone is getting tackled.) This is a great place for families to visit together, and I saw lots of families here, including my own. Right now, there are three restaurants in Fishers Test Kitchen: Lil Dumplings, Natural State and Korave Korean BBQ. We got something from each place just to try out their menus. That's the beauty of Fishers Test Kitchen: You can try something new, and everyone in your party can get what they want. When you enter Fishers Test Kitchen, you'll want to find a table and order drinks. Someone from Sun King will take your drink order, but they do not take your food order -- that, you'll need to go up to the counter and do. When you order food, the restaurant will give you a pager that will let you know when your food is ready. That way, you can go back to your table in the meantime and enjoy your drink. When you're done ordering beverages, you'll need to settle the tab with your server. So you'll have two different transactions: one at the restaurant, and one for beverages. It sounds more confusing than it is! You'll be fine. I'll leave my review about the food for the individual Yelp pages, but as for the beverages: I mean, you can't go wrong with Sun King. Of course, I'm the kind of person who orders red wine at a brewery, which is what I got this visit, but my wine was really good and they were generous with their pour. We'll definitely be back. read more

Review of Inspo I have tried and loved all the concepts that have come through Fishers Test Kitchen and I'm a fan. All the chefs are rock stars. I mean, who doesn't love Chef Carlos Salazar or Chef Neal Brown?!! However, I was truly excited to meet MasterChef Kelsey Murphy. She is just as sweet as she was on TV and her food is fantastic. I'll admit, I could not make a decision between two very different dishes so I ordered them both. I don't mind leftovers. The lobster Mac and Cheese was deliciously decadent with the perfect balance of lobster and cheesy pasta. However, in my opinion, the shining star is the Ancient Grain Bowl. I'm originally from San Diego and this bowl captured the essence of Southern California. It made me miss home. Well done, Chef Kelsey, you'll be seeing more of me. p.s. Don't forget to check out my photos including the menu with full descriptions of the dishes. read more

Wonderful! I found a long hair stuck on the chicken tender. I could clearly see this belonged to a female employee. They need a hair cover while making the food. This is not acceptable at all! read more

We decided to venture up to Fishers to try the Test Kitchen inside Sun King. I love the concept and very excited for the first batch of kitchens. There are 3 kitchens: Natural State Provisions, Korave, and Lil Dumplings. We tried foods from the later two. Because those two concepts work well to mix and match and try more things, they had higher foot traffic. Natural State is also unfortunately tucked in the corner more. Korave: Bulgogi poutine and street tacos (3) one of each of the meat proteins. Bulgogi beef, gochu pork, and chicken. I am writing this in order of favorites. Anything bulgogi is amazing and glad there is a place to get it around here. Pork was solid but do yourself a favor and let the grease run out of it before your first bite. Poutine is a large portion and is made for sharing or your whole meal. This plus a fountain drink was $25. A bit pricey but delicious! Lil Dumpling: having enjoyed Chef Carlos's food elsewhere I was excited to see what he came up with. We tried the Szechuan hot chicken steamed bun (I love steamed buns!). This was not hot spicy but did have a spice in it I found odd. I couldn't place it. My husband loved it and could eat it over and over. We also tried the lamb chili and cheese dog. Having had the lamb hot dogs in Iceland, we were intrigued. Nothing that exciting and it states cheese. I was expecting anything else but goat cheese! I love goat cheese but maybe not on this. This was $11 total. Seating was hard to find on a Saturday. I would never take a large group here with no guaranteed seating especially in the winter, but that's what many did. We shared a table with another couple upstairs. I think the space used for regulation size cornhole could have been better used for tables. Very loud in a enclosed warehouse and my table was in firing aim if someone were to have a bad throw or drunk. (They know it's a full bar right?!) Overall the food was great! I want to come back to try a sandwich from Natural State and the fried steamed bun dessert from Lil Dumplings. Probably not on a weekend however! read more

Fishers Test Kitchen - A lot of space that could have tables - Food Court Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

Overall this is great place to relax with decent food. The table service was really nice however the chairs themselves are not realistic to sit in. I would recommend not sitting at the tables with black chairs as they are not anywhere comfortable. In addition they don't have real silverware(not the most eco friendly for starters), so make sure to get black ones. They are much more durable, the white one was literally bending as I was cutting. Also kinda funny odd placement of trashcans. I think this is due to SunKing wanting to have servers take on this task. The bathrooms are nice and new feeling. The overall food selection was wide as it ranged from $5-$15. Confirmed that there are no discounts ; no military, senior, college. For food: The pulled pork soda sandwich was good however rather fatty and the flavor was lacking in the larger pieces. I'd recommend separating larger pieces to help marinate. The falafel was really good and had a good about of flavor depth. The kimchi was average, not much spice but some. The poutine was good however I would have liked to see a sauce to make it a poutine(no sauce makes it more just loaded fries). read more

Had to get here to try Chef Kelsey's ceviche that everyone raves about. So glad I did. A perfect blend of shrimp, onion, mango, chopped jalapeño, parsley, cucumber, avocado and shrimp marinated in lime juice. Served with crispy corn chips to scoop up the fresh & refreshing succulence. Also had the deliciously spicy jambalaya with shrimp and andouille which was a spicy heat lovers dream. Yes, better than mine....go figure. Tami had the rich Mac & cheese without the lobster and found it to be a creamy delight with an underlying peppery finish. Can't wait to return to sample the rest of the menu. read more

Came to the test kitchen with bulgogi and kimchi on my mind. But Korave has moved on, and I started studying each of the menus. I decided to try Herd's Sunday brunch and glad I did. My choice was the braised pork hash. This dish was on a bed of country fried potatoes with the best pulled pork. The finishings were what made it stand out - fried sunny side egg and pickled radishes to give it some spice. read more

If I could give Gordito's Rust Belt Tacos & Tortas more than 5 stars I would. I cannot stress enough how amazing the meat and flavors were. I enjoy a little bit of spice, but if you're looking for something to challenge your taste buds then you might be a little disappointed. However, this place was more about how the different combinations of flavors paired with each other. I was overly impressed with the tenderness of the meat and how well every sauce or add on was thought of. PLUS, IT DID NOT BREAK THE BANK!!!! We got red meat for both. But the cherry on top was the corn dish If you're looking for an out of the box experience I highly recommend. We sat inside the "Signature" and we ordered our food with a hostess before we entered. Then as we waited for a food being prepared in front of us, a server from Sun King took care of our drink orders. read more

Fishers Test Kitchen - Burger and onion rings - Food Court Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

I had no idea that this was attached to sun king fishers, but it was a pleasant surprise when I visited sunking for their "lemon shandy" release. Fishers test kitchen has some food court vibes but better, you have three option which you go inside order your meal and then one of those Buzzers alters you to go pick up your food. I decided to go with the lil dumplings kitchen and I am not having buyers remorse with my option. They were running a devour option, which is always a good deal in my opinion. I had cowboy caviar, which was made with all fresh veggies, you could crunch some tostadas up and use them as chips. There also was a lobster roll included in the meal and I loved it as well, it tasted fresh and was seasoned to perfection. The last part of my delicious food journal, was the Korean fried bun, I had never had one before and I thought it was very tasty ( made me think of funnel cakes, I'm American so, that should not surprise anyone) all around great experience and I will be back to try the other food options! read more

original rating was 3 stars (shouts to Robbie on the second floor for giving us a 5 star experience) but bumped it up one star because of Robbie love visiting the test kitchen to grab a beer or something yummy on my break/on the way home from work but 9/10 times I have to stare at someone (and even then it depends on whom I am staring at), I rarely get serviced until I've been seated for 5-7 minutes (yes, it's happened so often I've timed it and here's my average experience) I love my co-workers too but customers come first. Not asking for someone to be breathing down the back of my neck but to at least be acknowledged (like others I see) without having to flag down a server would be nice. Lil Dumplings is worth making the trip, I would suggest grabbing your drinks before you order your food (just to be on the safe side) read more

Not family friendly. We went to the test kitchen with our 6 and 2 year old and sat for 15 mins trying to flag someone for drink service even though the waiter was helping tables next to us more than once, but ended up leaving. I know people hate kids mostly but mine weren't being crazy or anything. They were just existing. So if you have littles, don't expect to be served. You can still obviously order from the food court but I was looking forward to having a drink as well. read more

I really like the idea of having a Test Kitchen in Fishers. I am somewhat surprised that nobody else opened one before. Sure, there have been food courts that have had a wide range of success, but I can't think of any place that specifically was designed to encourage new chefs to come up with an idea, or for food truck chefs to take a shot at a brick and mortar restaurant, or an existing chef to try out a new idea without the prohibitive costs of start up. Although there is only limited time each restaurant can be in the Test Kitchen (I think it is one year), it seems like a fair enough time for each business to determine if the customers like the offerings. There is a special room called the Signature Table which can be reserved for special events like private parties, cooking lessons, & chef demonstrations. There are spaces for three restaurants at a time in addition to the Sun King Brewery which occupies the majority of the space. The individual restaurants don't need to worry about getting alcohol licenses which can be cost prohibitive for start up places since Sun King is on site with their range of beverage options. The three restaurants onsite when I visited were "Natural State" (southern), "Korave" (Korean BBQ), and "Lil Dumplings" (global street food), See individual reviews for these restaurants and Sun King. The Test Kitchen is very popular, so finding seating is a challenge. If you aren't successful on the main floor, you may find some room upstairs. The overall environment is quite loud and there are places that are family friendly (just not near the bar of Sun King.) Parking is at a premium. We grabbed one of the last street parking spaces just north of the brewery. They do have parking garages available, but I don't know if they charge or if they are free. Hopefully someone else will post that soon. #3647 read more

Korave's menu is full of drool-worthy dishes, and I have yet to try more! Next on my list to try is their Mandoo and Mee-Chin Nachos. The Bulgogi Poutine is just too good. The selfish part of me just wished it was drenched in more of their amazing bulgogi. You can definitely eat this as a meal or share it as an appetizer. The Holy Moly Tacos were delicious, all with the meat as the star. It is hard to pick a favorite out of the pork, bulgogi, and chicken. If you are getting the bulgogi poutine then I'd say try the pork or chicken, since it really has the same flavor in a taco form. I am super super picky about cookies, so I didn't love the big stack as it was a bit harder than I thought it would be. Others seem to love it so I think it is just me, I like my cookies softer. read more

Amazing spot to hang out and get yummy unique drinks at a great price! They have tons of games to play that are good for kids and adults. As someone with celiac, I was a bit disappointed about my gluten free options. Same frier used at Natural State for fried items and others, Korave puts Kikkoman soy sauce in everything (which yes, it's the best soy sauce, but it's not gluten free so c'mon!!) and the Lil Dumplings place is obviously a no-go for those with a gluten intolerance. I did accidentally eat a nacho from Korave, which was sooo good. If you have no allergies, the food options are amazing!! A few observations: 1. Everyone seems new and unexperienced 2. Natural State takes forever to make their food 3. Korave was quick - they were done with the good we ordered before my husband got back to the table 4. Natural State seems like a name for healthy food - definitely not. 5. Sun King drink prices are awesome!! read more

This is such a great concept and so far I feel executed well. There are three food court style options and a cool looking event space. We tried Korave, I reviewed it separately. All of this opens onto a large seating area with picnic type tables, smaller regular tables and some bar seating. There is also a second floor but I had Rise and Roll donut on the brain and I forgot to go up there after our meal. The very friendly Sun King staffer that we spoke to was telling us about the patio and upstairs deck also to be open in nice weather. He also mentioned that it was standing room only on Friday night so it's clearly already very popular. I saw families playing games and friends hanging out. The Sun King staff will bring you beverages to your table which is also a nice feature. We didn't have any beer for lunch but did note that in addition to beer they have a full bar upstairs. The event space was not open but I took a photo of the options for using the space. This also seems like a nice addition to Fishers. They are currently advertising a Valentine's cooking event, see photos below. This will be a space is now in our rotation of go to spots for dinner and hanging out with friends. read more

This location and the food here was not bad at all. I plan to come back and check out the other 2 food vendors. My co-worker and I was at the Fishers District and decided to stop in. It was not busy and there were probably 10 customers, so we got our food pretty quickly. Decided to give the Korave, Korean BBQ a try. They also have a place called Natural State Provisions which is an all American burger eatery and Lil Dumplings. Not sure how I could describe their menu. Food is a mix from different parts of the country. At Korave, I ordered the beef bulgogi tacos. You get 3 in your order and the toppings include a mix green salad, pickled radish, creamy sauce, and a Korean sauce. It was tasty but a bit on the sweet side. I needed something to kick up the spice level. It ran me roughly about $11.00. The 3 tacos was very fulfilling. Overall experience was nice. The location has tons of seating. This place is located inside Sun King. They have additional seating upstairs with an outdoor patio where you can play cornhole. I also seen a giant Jenga game on one of the tables and even a foosball table! I think folks will enjoy it once the weather warms up. read more

Fantastic addition to The Yard and Fishers! The Test Kitchen is a unique concept that I absolutely love! The concept: The Test Kitchen is a "culinary launch pad" that houses three different entrepreneurs/restaurants. It serves as a place for each chef/entrepreneur to test their menu and restaurant's concept. Each restaurant will be in the Test Kitchen for a year or two with the end goal of being able to launch into a full scale restaurant! The Test Kitchen is a food court/hall style layout. You order and pay at the restaurant(s) of your choice and then find a table. At the table, a server will come by and take your drink order. They offer Sun King beers, cocktails and wine. I tried food from 2 of the 3 restaurants and all of the food was fantastic! I can't wait to go back and try more of the food. My only compliant is that they have plastic silverware. The plastic silverware was so flimsy and hard to eat with, as well as, a little wasteful. In addition to the above, the Test Kitchen has "The Signature Table." It is a small kitchen surrounded by a large table that will have different culinary events, such as classes, demonstrations and dinners. The Fishers Test Kitchen just opened over the weekend, so be sure to check it out! read more

Couldn't wait to get here and today was a great day to go. If you've been to and love the Sun King in Carmel, you might find this area a little jarring, imo. It's the same concept, but while the Carmel site feels warm, rustic, and inviting, this area feel industrial, cold, and unfinished. It's a busy area, with IKEA and Portillo on the same street off of 116th street. All of the buildings are modern with sharp lines and lots of glass, with close parking and cement. Plenty of different restaurants and bars to walk too outside of the rest kitchen too. Inside the Test Kitchen, there is plenty of seating , crayons for the kids, and a combo of high and low seating as well as picnic tables. All of the food stalls had kids options, so there is something for everyone. This was interesting though because family friendly was definitely a theme but there were no games or outside area for kids, unlike the Carmel stop. Plenty of boozy options, also coffee and cocoa. Friendly faces, lots of room to get between tables. Looking forward to all all construction in the area to be done so we can see the finished product. read more

Tried out the test kitchen yesterday and ate at the very tasty Mexican joint that started with the letter G. We just wrapped up a yoga sesh, so stuck to the bean special blend tacos (which were gently fried) and tried the chip sample platter and a side of guacamole. The 5" salsas" were awesome. Only 2 resembled anything like what I know as salsa, but were all unique and fantastic (one was a creamyish corn, one was a mild brown liquid with cilantro and although weird, based on look alone, was light and refreshing; one was a perfectly smokey Chipotle salsa). I liked the vinegar coleslaw salad (not quite on par with whole foods), because I'm weird like that. The guacamole rang up .50 more than the sign said and was pretty much just mashed avacado, and a generous portion for that price. We flushed these quickly prepared treats down at the SunKing bar with a few tasty IPAs, Hazy and Keller. (The Upstairs was closed at 11am on Friday.) read more
