An Absolute Gem in Indianapolis!…read more We absolutely loved our visit to Borage! We stopped in for brunch to kick off our vacation before flying out the next day, and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Borage has been on our list for a while, and after visiting, we're honestly wondering why we didn't make it here sooner! The food was exceptional, and we especially loved knowing that they prioritize locally sourced ingredients. You can really appreciate the care and thought that goes into what they serve. The attached store was also such a great bonus and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. As oyster lovers, we were excited to see oysters on the menu, and we also spotted a sandwich and cocktail deal that definitely caught our attention. There were so many tempting options that we already know one brunch visit wasn't enough! We can't wait to come back, try more of their brunch offerings, and experience their dinner menu as well. Borage is the kind of place that makes you wish you had discovered it sooner. Between the outstanding food, the focus on local sourcing, and the wonderful attached shop, it's a must-visit in Indianapolis. We're so glad we finally made it and are already looking forward to our next visit!

The best hip new brunch spot I've tried in awhile! At 1p on Sunday it was hopping...we waited a…read morefew minutes to be seated but there are plenty of comfy chairs to sit on inside, or you can chill outside on the plant-adorned patio. Once seated, we were attended to quickly and placed our orders. I chose the salmon toast with coffee, and the other two at the table ordered the One Skillet Breakfast. The serving sizes are very generous, and I only ate half the salmon toast...it's a large slice of bread piled high with smoked salmon. Yum! We all enjoyed our food and the lively, hip ambiance. Don't skip checking out the coffee bar down the hallway to the right of the main entrance. The parking lot is spacious, and there's street parking available too. My only slightly negative observation was that the grill area vent situation could've been better (it's an open kitchen/dining set up). I smelled liked fried food for the rest of the day...although maybe that isn't such a bad thing?! Definitely will be back to check out this place again very soon!

We wanted a quick reliable brunch and decided on Le Peep. We've eaten at this location many times…read morein the past. They have new management and have changed their name to Mornings at Maple. To begin with my experience was frustrating and the atmosphere was chaotic. It was sub par even for Le Peep They are severely understaffed and struggled to keep up with the crowd. When I walked in several staff walked past us without greeting us. When the hostess arrived after me waiting several minutes to either place my order or be seated. I asked for a menu as the wait was longer than I had time for. She was uneducated about the menu and struggled to answer questions. She went to get a server to take my order. We waited and received our food, cashed out, & headed on our way. When we arrived at our destination we realized they left the syrup out so we had no syrup for our pancakes. I called and told them I was headed back for syrup and asked for a future meal replacement. They refused and offered to make more pancakes. With their level of unprofessionalism and disgusting attitudes there was no way I was going to trust them to remake ANYTHING for me! I was offered a $5 gift card. I went back to retrieve syrup and was confronted by a server telling me I was being rude for asking for what I paid for and then receiving the putrid level of service I received. Needless to say I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING ANYTHING HERE!!!! If I could give zero stars I would!!!

LePeep is a quaint little spot, and is bright and clean with great, friendly service. My Southwest omelette was spicy and delicious and my friend loved his steak and eggs.

So I'll preface this by saying we've had a lot of truly great food during our 5 days in the…read moreIndianapolis area. Our last dinner - at Dawsons on Main - was the best! We started with Tony's Favorite Nachos which consist of steak, chicken, chorizo or pulled pork (we chose steak) sautéed onions, peppers, house made queso, pico de gallo, guacamole, and black beans on top of freshly fried tri-colored chips. The flavors were truly amazing and often places skimp on the 'stuff' and give you a million chips - Dawsons has the perfect proportion so if anything, you have 'stuff' after the chips are gone. We loved these nachos and were from Texas so that says a lot. We also tried the Firecracker Shrimp, which are shrimp tossed in house-made honey sriracha sauce. These were unlike anything I've had. They had a crispy crunchy exterior and the sauce was to die for - I would buy the sauce alone if I could! It had heat but not crazy heat and the flavor was superb. Our table had the Beef Stroganoff. I must say I am not a fan of beef stroganoff - but this actually was prepared very well and had a very good flavor which kind of surprised me! We also tried the TriColored Tortellini with Chicken which had chicken, mushrooms, peas, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto cream sauce. The flavors were amazing together and I could have eaten more of this as well! We also had the Blackened Chicken Quesadilla which was a Cheddar jalapeño tortilla filled with sautéed chicken, black beans, roasted corn, house tomato relish, roasted red peppers, spinach, Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. It was served with sour cream and Dawson's Cajun ranch. Although this was on the appetizer menu, it was easily an entree. It was stuffed with the ingredients and very flavorful and filling. All of the ingredients blended together very well and offered a mouth full of flavor in every bite! Finally, we tried the Bayou Chicken Salad which comes with Blackened chicken on top of iceberg/romaine mix with black beans jalapenos, roasted corn, fresh guacamole, house tomato relish, Cheddar, and Mozzarella cheese. It's served with tri-colored chips and Dawson's Cajun ranch. I left the chips and corn off. This was a generous salad with superb flavors. The dressing was wonderful - a little heat and a lot of flavor. Again, this was very filling as well. There was nothing I could find 'wrong' with Dawsons. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was just extremely good. I wish I could transport this place back to Texas so I could eat there more often!

We got into town around 7pm and needed a dinner place. After driving all day and not wanting a lot…read moremore driving, we were happy to find Dawsons close to our hotel. Lots of options on the menu which is great for traveling. I wanted to go light and chose the spinach salad. Ingredients were fresh and it was loaded with toppings. Husband had a bit more heft to his meal and chose the chicken tenders and onion rings (what are you 12 years old?!). I tried a bite and they were very good so I'll cut him some slack. Service was excellent. We found a parking spot on the street close to the restaurant. They had a nice patio but we opted for a cozy booth inside. Loved the exposed brick walls. Great stop.

It's a little down home place with a good vibe - the decor is Indy 500 themed which would be expected given the location is a block from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The staff were friendly and appropriately attentive. We tried varieties of meat plate and pulled port sandwiches - all of the BBQ was excellent. The pulled pork was flavorful and perfectly done. The brisket was a good mix of moist and lean (I asked for a mix) and also prepared perfectly. The smoked sausage had a great flavor and was not overdone. The 7 Pepper gold sauce and the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce are awesome! Both have great flavors and the perfect heat - and are made in-house. We took a few bottles to go, which says a lot! The fried apples were quite tasty - almost like a pie filling - very good. The fries are tasty - crispy outside and soft inside. They pair perfectly with the 7 Pepper BBQ sauce! The green beans - well, just bland and flavorless. The coleslaw also lacked flavor. The cornbread was a traditional cornbread - drier than we like, but that's not anything wrong with it - just not the type we like. I would absolutely come back!

We arrived after looking up "Lunch near Airport" and this place popping with good reviews and a high TripAdvisor position. Gayle and I had a very enjoyable Lunch. The inside was bright, clean, well-appointed and spacious. Our wait person was friendly and prompt. I ordered the tomato bisque and grilled cheese special, while Gayle opted for a Patty Melt (with Fries). Both choices were delicious and just the right amount of food for me. Gayle left a fair amount of food on her plate, mostly due to a huge sandwich and lot for fries. I appreciated that this place offered beers that didn't have the word IPA in them, with my Oatmeal Stout being a great choice. Gayle went for her favorite Chardonnay preference. We both nursed our drinks and the fries as we were in no hurry to get the airport. The Library Restaurant and Pub was a solid choice, and one that we would repeat for either Lunch or Dinner.

I'm a big food hall fan and this one does not disappoint! It's newish and still looks pristine…read more There's a ton of awesome vendors, even beyond just food options, which is cool to see. There's a lot of seating scattered through, including outside, which can sometimes get tight in food halls, so I love to see that, too. A few more highlights for me... + Twenty Two the juice spot has been fabulous both times I've had the pleasure of trying them. + Pumpkinfish is a retail gift shop that has so many cool things! They do a great job at curating the items, everything ranging from Indy themed knick knacks to locally made art and jewelry, all quirky and unique. + The variety of food they have is amazing. Everything from Greek, Asian-fusion, Mexican, and ice cream to a bakery, poke, pizza, burgers, and more. There's something for everyone. Overall, Indy is lucky to have a place like this. If I lived nearby, I would be here all the time!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise to find and visit this location…read more If you love exploring multiple food and drink cuisines under one roof, you are in luck! There are several fantastic food halls and multi-concept venues to match your vibe. Great way to reinvent/repurpose an old building. There are way too many venues to mention; so there is chicken, Greek, pizza, Asian, seafood, bbq, beer, liquors, sodas, burgers, bakery, ice creams, Brazilian, Venezuelan, Mexican, noodle bar and more. I had a fishsimmwich. Drink, fish sandwich and chips $12. Tasty sandwich, potato chips mixture of plain and cheese, plain were good, not a cheesy chip fan, but sandwich was good. Definitely a great place to visit! Lots of seating area. I really like the concept! I believe it was an old Coca Cola production building back in the day. J's Lobster and Fish Market! The biggest dilemma is which one to chose. Can't wait to comeback some time to try something else; unfortunately it a tad big commute but one day " I'll be back! "
