Got a chance to try this Brazilian place in the food garage located in down town Indianapolis. If…read moreyou've been there then you know they have some amazing food and tons of options. I tried Gauchos for my first time and that Brazilian Steak Sandwich was delicious. The meat was tender and juicy and the sandwich was so full of flavor. I also got to try their sangria and it was good as well. Just wasn't a fan of all that fruit at the bottom. Other than that, the food was great. Service was quick and helpful. I will definitely be going back to them soon.

Ambiance: This place is tucked away in a strip mall and somewhat gaudy at first glace but I was…read moreconvinced by it's glowing reviews. The place itself is actually classy and well-decorated inside with rich wood and leather textures. The unobtrusive Brazilian music sets a nice thematic tone inside. Other reviewer report super fast food times but our experience was much slower as it seemed they made everything to order although it was admittedly pretty empty when we went so I doubt they were churning out large batches of stuff. Food: We got the Beef Chimichurri fries and Ultimate Brazilian Sandwich and enjoyed both. These guys have AMAZING breaded fries that come out blazing hot fresh from the fryer. You could very easily have a unhealthy meal of just these addicting fries alone. The chimichurri beef was very savory with the lightly caramelized onions and tender thin-shaved beef. They did cook the beef in the chimichurri which I was less a fan off as it blunts some of the freshness of the chimichurri and blurs the distinction between the beef and the sauce. I would've preferred the chimichurri as a drizzle or side-sauce but this is just personal preference. The Ultimate Sandwich was definitely the star with perfectly seared beef and flavorful sausage, the tortilla strips were a fun throwback to days of putting potato chips in your sandwiches. Overall Gaucho's Fire is a great dining option, it serves very fresh food with authentic flavors. The portion size is very reasonable and with meat and potatoes being the staples, it will be plenty filling. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

It appeared they do not take reservations for the Broad Ripple location on Open Table but they do for the one on Mass Ave. Good to know. I was there on a Monday night so it ended to not being as issue. I probably could have called to make a reservation too. The food did not disappoint! Fernando's lives up to the hype. I really enjoyed the Enchiladas Rojas and Caipirinha flight of seasonal flavors. Mango was phenomenal! Service was great, the decor is cute and the restaurant is clean in a fun neighborhood.

The space is more tight than the location in Mass Ave but we appreciated how the patio was more quiet compared to indoors. The food, unfortunately, was disappointing. The Picanha steak was burnt and so were the onions. It's a taste that indicates that their grill or pan needed to be cleaned before cooking the steak. The steak didn't have any flavor and when we asked for any type of sauce, they only had salt and pepper. For the price of the the dish, it was not enjoyable. The Escondidinho de Frango/Brazilian shepherd's pie was fine. The side salad had a very bitter taste. I think it was maybe too much onion or another ingredient that made it unenjoyable. The dressing was fine. The empanadas (3 for $15) were okay. It tasted like they made with corn tortillas. We enjoyed the Mass Ave location and wanted to try this location out. It could've been an off night but we may pass on this place in the future.

We came off a 4 hour flight and were looking for a good place to eat. So when we saw there was a…read moreFogo de Chao nearby I got super excited. I love Fogo de Chao, but had never been to this location in Indianapolis. Of all the FdC that I have visited, I have to say this place had the best service by far. The waitstaff and the person whom I assume was the manager were always asking if we needed anything, and if everything was ok. I got nice thick cuts of meat every time. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures because I was so hungry and excited to eat, but my friend got the salmon and enjoyed it (pictured below). The meats were grilled really well. The char on the outside was perfection. The salad bar had a lot of choices, and everything was tasty. I'm going to have to stop by here whenever I'm in town for business.

You should be aware that your reservation means nothing to this place. We weren't seated until…read morenearly 40 minutes after our reservation. The hostesses, all four of them, were rude and condescending. They tried ignoring my party of four. When we did get seated our server was bizarre, I don't know if they were on drugs or what. Like, notably strange. The churrasco was okay. The salad bar seemed like someone was making sure it didn't run empty. There was nothing really fun or relaxing, my friend wanted filet and had to ask 4 times before a pretty grumpy guy brought it around. We weren't even sure it was the proper cut because of the amount of fat on it. Maybe something else they were trying to pass off. After the first few carvers came by there was a good 15 minute lull where we saw nobody but the bussers, with empty drinks sitting at our table. Took forever to have our waitress come back to cash us out, after we had basically just given up on trying to eat anymore. We just wanted to leave. I might go to another Fogo de Chao in like, another location. All of my complaints here seem to stem from incompetent manager and deficient training. In my opinion this place is only open because it's a stone's throw from several hotels. You can spend your time and money better at any of the nearby steakhouses.

Naturally, I pulled up the Yelp app to search for something open nearby for recommendations. Turns out Delicia is one of my friend's boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Broad Ripple. They both frequent the restaurants in that area as they live in the neighborhood so that's definitely saying something and I can see why based on the vibe and atmosphere! We were only there for drinks (which were amazing) and they were definitely worth making another trip for. I ordered the "Pulparindo" which is slightly spicy tamarind vodka, fresh mango puree, raw sugar simple, lime juice and a yummy tajin rim. I would have had more of it wasn't last call when we placed our order. Another popular choice was the "FIRE 'N' Ice" made with el charro jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus I basil I habanero reduction, tres chiles infused ice ball. Beautiful presentation with all the drinks. Our waitress was great and attentive. I also really liked how I felt instantly in a better mood in that space and I will be going back again for dinner soon.

Had the shrimp cocktail, and for me, it is very different than a typical shrimp cocktail. The biggie is that they use fresh horseradish to give you a super, clear your sinuses kick. I actually loved it and do agree it's a must try. I hate the Mac and cheese and sliders, and both were above average. Got the extra lobster add on for the Mac and cheese, and it was solid. Ended with their chocolate cake, which was like an entermanns devil food cake on steroids. Take that as a compliment, because I loved entermanns and this hit that spot.

I love coming here to get the bacon wrapped steak in the bacon wrapped chicken with the flavorful chimichurri sauce. I was super disappointed this weekend when I went to order my bacon wrapped chicken and found that it's no longer on the menu. Not a huge deal I guess, change is an inevitability. So I ordered my bacon wrapped beef and when it came, it was not the same either. What used to be thick crispy chunks of beef beef wrapped in cooked bacon is now a sad cubed piece of beef with no char on it and burnt bacon. The chimichurri sauce was still delicious and flavorful, but not enough to save the bacon wrapped meat. My husband felt the exact same about his with the garlic Parmesan sauce. The food is always hot and made to order so that's nice but so is everything else at the garage. This might change our mind about visiting monthly.

You typically find loaded meals with unequal portions or lacking the meat to cover whether it's chips or fries, and these truly were delicious.

We went on a Saturday night, around 6:30. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get a reservation without any issue. The decor was very nice but I feel we could have used a bit more elbow room because the table was cramped and smaller. Our multi servers were very attentive, super friendly and informative. We all went for the full buffet. The salad bar was huge and tidy, clean, and fresh. There were tasty sides including mashed potatoes, two kinds of rice (plain and veggie rice with seasoning), there was also a pasta side tossed in a very nice light tomato sauce. All of the food and the quality was on point. The previously posted pics on here are relevant. Most of the meat that I tried was just OK. I tried the chicken thighs and the assorted beef choices. I would definitely recommend choosing the filet mignon only in the red meat group. The rest of the cuts were on the tough side. They served it medium rare, which was fine with me. We tried the flan dessert. It was good. I would go back to this place, but I would have to be much much hungrier, and also make it more of a special occasion because of the price point. It would definitely be a great place for power/ competitive eaters to practice. ;o) !!!

One of my personal opinions is that the mark of quality and attention to detail in any restaurant that moves large volumes of food is cleanliness - and the salad bar was pristine! From the charcuterie to the fresh vegetables, everything looked fresh and delicious. The fact that there was not one speck of food or debris littering the floor or the areas surrounding the bowls was clear indication that someone was monitoring that area with meticulous detail. The meat options brought to our table were diverse, well prepared, and brought to the table slightly faster than we could eat them! We never found ourselves waiting for anything as the service was incredibly attentive. A very nice and much appreciated personal touch was added by a couple of check in visits during dinner from Gabriel, the sales manager and Sebastian, the general manager - both of whom showed genuine interest in how our experience was. Add to this outstanding service from our server, Jessica. We learned that this is a family owned and operated restaurant which explains the pride that was clearly apparent in every aspect of this dining experience. It's not often we eat such large volumes of food - but as soon as we're ready for another truly indulgent dining experience, we will be going back to Ten Cuts - even over some of the more popular and well known Brazilian steakhouses!
