    The centerpiece at the table!
    Kelly A.

    This is a buffet style place with white table cloths and cloth napkins! The buffet selections are on the more upscale end, with carving, custom omelet and waffle stations. The custom station staff are dress with white chef hats. Their disposition was very pleasant, even though they had been working since 7am (the time we're we're there was 4pm). There was a person(s) solely dedicated to clearing your plates from the table, in order to lessen the crowding from finished buffet plates...this was awesome! Food was delicious...especially the brown gravy for the mashed potatoes. If you get a chance to eat here, you will not be disappointed!

    Sunday brunch!

    You must reserve in advance for a spectacular Sunday brunch! Every seat is spoken for but it's not crowded. The room is bright and spacious and the vibe is welcoming. The buffet has all the breakfast norms plus some great comfort food extras like fried chicken and fish, meatballs and pork ribs. The omelette station waffle made to order guy knows how to make it exactly how you like it. Salad, carved ham and carved roast beef in case you still have room. The dessert table has many choices and are just average. I give this place two thumbs and two big toes up!

    Oh hello, mile-long buffet line. Is there anything else in Indy that compares to your weekend brunch buffet? I don't think so. If you want the full 411, see Brittany S.'s detailed review. All I'll say is that literally anyone can get their money's worth at The Garrison, whether you want a belt-busting breakfast, stacks on stacks of salad, or five dishes strictly devoted to dessert. Mix up your usual weekend picks and enjoy a meal at The Garrison at least once.

    Yelp tip for this restaurant: Wear your stretchy pants! This is a great place for Sunday brunch. Their buffet here is the best I've had in Indy so far. We made reservations and were seated promptly. Staff was super friendly and helpful with our questions. Our drinks were always refilled and our plates cleared right away. The buffett is staged in this beautiful ballroom, which is super spacious and has large double doors that lead to the grand terrace. The buffett consist of Breakfast and lunch options with a carving station, omelet station, waffle station, and if you have the room for it, a dessert station. There main buffett line definitely had lots to choose from from protein to veggies. Some of my favorites were the fried chicken and BBQ ribs. At $20 a person it is a little more on the pricier side but definitely worth it. Lastly, Definitely come here hungry because there is lots to choose from! We can't wait to visit again!

    The Garrison is the Fort Harrison State Park restaurant, but it's located at the Golf Course next door (also state run.) They are known for their fried chicken, and it did not disappoint. My friend ordered the BBQ pork sandwich, and he said it was really good, too. The service was very attentive, and they even let us try the chili at the salad bar while we waited!

    What a surprising and memorable experience. Twenty minutes from downtown and voila, you feel like you're a world away on vacation. Big love to fellow Yelper Allison F for bringing this hidden gem to our attention. The highlights: -located on Fort Benjamin Harrison Park's property with hiking trails within arm's reach and a beautiful large back patio over looking nature -the Sunday Brunch is where it's at- your drink is included with the buffet for $19.99 (adult) -the coffee is surprisingly delicious and you might end up drinking three+ cups like us... -the buffet features a salad bar, 20+ hot food items, more than ten made from scratch desserts to choose from as well as an omelette and carving stations -the salad bar is a nice touch for those who may not want to dive headfirst into the fried chicken and Mac and cheese as I did... I balanced with the spinach, ya'll -the space is super outdated but in a fun and nostalgic state park, wood paneling kind of way -there was an incredible crowd for the brunch- very ideal for the after church crowd -parking is very easy and plentiful in the lot out front -fun fact: there are several other great bizs at the park like Porter Books & Bread and Fitzgerald's sandwich/lunch house Don't leave without a slice of the pineapple upside down cake.

    How is the buffet managed with CoVID-19 precautions?

    There is no longer a buffet and their website and online listings have not been updated in over a year to reflect this. We showed up to a mere single member of the wait staff overwhelmed with trying to cover the entire restaurant ordering off of a…

    I'm a vegetarian visiting my parents from out of state and was expecting the usual sub-par…read moreIndianapolis lunch and dinner options... but then we gave this place a try and wow!! A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had!

    This place has been on my list to try since they opened and I finally had the opportunity to stop…read morein for lunch. I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.

    Excellent food. I had a tenderloin and my wife had chicken parmigiana. The sandwich was juicy,…read morebreading was crisp and the flavor outstanding. Cooked perfectly! I had Cole slaw and fried okra with is, both we excellent sides. The Cole slaw was 'runny', not a heavy mayonnaise base but did not taste vinegary. The okra breading was perfect and the okra was fried just right, not soggy nor hard. Again the flavor was excellent! The chicken parmigiana had the same breading as the tenderloin and my wife said it was crisp, yet juicy as well. Both meals are something we will definitely return for! We loved the ambiance. The bar eating area is very reminiscent of an English pub, with dark wood, booths surrounding a large bar and the lighting was just enough to not be drab Our waitress was pleasant and took good care of us quite well!

    Charleston's has been around for ages, and is a great place to go when relatives are visiting…read more Which is exactly what we did on a Saturday night. The booths are pretty small ... kind of a tight squeeze for 4 people. We were greeted quickly. The waiter brought our drinks quickly and then we ordered right away, some of us choosing old favorites like pasta RIGATONI BOLOGNESE, yummy CHICKEN PICCATA... i think my bro gets the same thing every week! Both my sis and I ordered a salad with chicken, pineapple, strawberry (1), and.... amazingly delicious figs ... it's my new favorite called WALTS CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN SALAD. Service was good until the refill coke was handed over the back of the booth, and never noticed that it spilled immediately. (Waiter was long gone as we cleaned up the little spills. ... oops) Prices are pricey but food is delicious. I don't go often because it's too rich for me without a special occasion. The location isn't bad; driving in from the east side it's got a weird way of entering the parking lot next to the bank. There aren't a lot of other places to eat nearby so this works for us! We will certainly be back!
