    Order at counter

    The Happy Chicken is a new chicken place on the corner of 86th and Michigan Road. I was glad to see they were open, as I stopped by yesterday and they were not. They serve a simple menu with chicken as the star of either flatbread, meals or a Mediterranean inspired bowl. The chicken is roasted, not fried. When we stopped at 11:30 for lunch, the chicken was not ready for the plate meals, so we could only order flatbread or the bowl. You order at the counter and the food is ready very quickly. The bowl was huge. The roasted chicken is very tender. The bowl had a ton of yellow rice and some iceberg lettuce. The meal was topped with a huge piece of pita and a sauce that they called Tazhiki, but was really a lemon flavored yogurt. The sauce and rice left me disappointed. The meal was filling. The staff was friendly and quick. There are only 2 tables inside to eat. The tables are wonky, too low for the bar height stools. You have to lean over to reach the food. I think most people order the meals to go, which is a good idea. I would like to see some healthier options (more vegetables) on the menu and more upscale dishes. I would like to try the plate meals, but I think you have to show up later in the day for those to be an option. In and out of the parking lot is challenging. You can really only go north. I drove around the block to get into the parking lot.

    I was excited to try it based on the reviews. I went in and the place was quiet, it was about an hour before closing. The employees were friendly and kind. The food seemed a little overpriced, but on the menu it looked yummy. I payed 11$ after tax for my food and I was a little disappointed by it. The size did match the photo and everything was cold, I walked home within about I minutes and by time I opened it the cheese and everything looked cold. The flavor was good but the chicken and cheese had gone cold and dry.I probably won't return but I can see how others might enjoy it!

    YOU NEED TO TRY THIS. If I could give it 7 stars, I would. I have broken my Yelp hiatus because this restaurant deserves more traffic and reviews. For anyone that remembers the Happy Chicken in Castleton from years ago, THIS IS THE SAME RESTAURANT!! And it is back better than ever (well just as delicious at least, it is hard to improve on this food). The food is delicious, healthy, and fairly priced. I personally love the bowls, and any chicken you get is seasoned amazingly with a little kick and spice. Everything is baked and the food looks simple but the flavors are not missed. Get ready for a flavor explosion that exceeds your visual expectations. The owner and staff are all super friendly and greet you as you come in. There are two 2-person tables inside, so it is definitely made for grab and go but you could enjoy your meal inside if it isn't busy. I recommend trying to stay once because the owner and staff are very friendly and personable. They do offer catering orders (20/40 wing platters). I can't express how happy this food actually makes me and how ecstatic I am that they decided to reopen again. The fact that people remember this restaurant YEARS after it closed is a testament to the food and culture of the business. This will be my go-to when I have a hankering for some flavor in my life. You can't go wrong here. Thank you Happy Chicken for making me happy again P.S. Keep an eye out for salmon and tilapia being added to the menu soon. We were lucky enough to get a sample and O. M. G. Can't wait for this to go live.

    Food is good and it's a healthy portion. The chicken is broaster type and combination plate included rice and lettuce on bottom and a slightly dry pita bread on top for eating as wrapper. I liked it... but I think I will just get pieces and side next time

    Been going here for years. So happy it reopened. Healthy clean eating with so much flavor. Best wings in town. The sides are outstanding. Also try the chicken bowl, so yummy. Easy place to eat clean with taste and lose weight.

Once you step inside, it's much bigger than it looks, and the patio is reason enough to visit all by itself. The outdoor space is one of my favorite parts--string lights overhead, plenty of seating, and just an all-around laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a drink on a nice day. The drink prices were surprisingly reasonable too, which never hurts. Brooke and Daniel took great care of me and made the experience even better. Friendly service always stands out, and they definitely delivered. I ended up ordering the pulled pork pizza to take home, and that turned out to be a fantastic decision. The smoky pulled pork, tangy barbecue sauce, and generous layer of cheese all worked together perfectly. It was one of those pizzas where you keep reaching for "just one more slice." Bonus points for something a lot of places overlook: the bathrooms were spotless. Clean enough that you actually notice--and yes, they even smelled clean. Whether you're looking for a casual neighborhood bar, a great patio to relax on, or surprisingly good food, Dugout Bar checks all the boxes. I'll definitely be back.

I couldn't decide which meal I was trying so I'm definitely going to make another trip sometime soon. I got the tenders with mac but added a side of greens. Boy oh boy the greens were the star and wow my tastebuds were incredibly satisfied. I've had greens but these were like some ultimate flavors and holy greens i definitely could just order some of these every now and again by themselves. Mac was great. Definitely complimented the greens. The tenders though omg. The flavor was insane. I gotta try them with the waffles next time for sure. Overall the wait wasn't long and my food was still hot. I ended up sharing with my son and he was even raving about it. Great service, fun and lit atmosphere, last but not least food was fire. Side note: people complain about price but I'll be honest, when the food is good and staff are amazing, the price to me doesn't matter.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

I understand that restaurants change menus. Items come and go, new things get added, and sometimes decisions have to be made behind the scenes. But the cheese breadsticks are not just another random menu item. They are a Kilroy's staple. They are one of those foods that I immediately associate with Kilroy's, and removing them feels like getting rid of part of what makes Kilroy's, Kilroy's. And yes, I know you still have the stuffed breadsticks. I know people love the pepperoni breadsticks. But not everyone wants or can eat meat. The cheese breadsticks were the perfect option because they gave you everything that makes the breadsticks so ridiculously good without requiring a meat filling. They were simple, cheesy, warm, comforting, and genuinely one of the best things on the menu. Also, the CHEESE. I don't know what exactly you were doing differently with those breadsticks, but the cheese inside of them was so good. There was something about the combination of the dough, the cheese, and dipping them in sauce that made them perfect. Replacing that with only meat-filled options is just not the same thing. I have a hard time believing I am the only person disappointed by this. The cheese breadsticks appealed to vegetarians, people who don't eat pork or pepperoni, people who simply weren't in the mood for meat, and people like me who just genuinely thought the cheese version was superior. It also seems like such a strange item to remove because breadsticks are part of Kilroy's identity. There are certain foods you expect when you go to certain places, and Kilroy's breadsticks are absolutely one of those things. When something becomes that closely associated with a restaurant, taking away one of the classic versions feels like a much bigger menu change than simply discontinuing an appetizer. I am genuinely so disappointed. There are plenty of menu items I could see disappearing and think, "Well, that's unfortunate," and move on with my life. This is not one of them. I am apparently passionate enough about these cheese breadsticks that I am sitting here writing an entire email about them, which should tell you how serious the situation has become. So I am respectfully begging whoever has the power to make this decision: PLEASE bring back the cheese breadsticks. Put them back on the permanent menu. Make them a limited-time item. Charge me an extra dollar. Make me sign a petition. I am willing to negotiate. I just cannot accept that we are living in a world where I can walk into Kilroy's and not order cheese breadsticks. Some things should not be messed with, and the Kilroy's cheese breadsticks are one of them. Please reconsider this decision. Your cheese-breadstick-loving customers are counting on you. Sincerely, A very disappointed and very hungry Kilroy's customer

We complimented it, asked where they found it, and before we knew it, we were chatting with a wonderful couple who had traveled all the way from overseas just to watch Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play that night. Moments like that are one of the reasons I love Indianapolis on game days. The patio was the perfect place to soak it all in. Fever fans filled the sidewalks, kids proudly carried homemade signs, and there was an excitement in the air that only comes from a city rallying behind its team. We could have people-watched for hours. Our waitress was exactly what every server should strive to be. Friendly, relaxed, and genuinely fun to talk to, she somehow mastered the art of appearing right before we found ourselves looking around for her. We never felt rushed, but we also never waited for anything. The food held up its end of the bargain too. The fried mozzarella disappeared embarrassingly fast and earned a solid 9.3 on my unofficial stretch meter. Crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey inside, with a marinara sauce that was every bit as good as the cheese itself. The chef salad was fresh, generously loaded with toppings, and easily big enough for a meal. I honestly couldn't tell you what beer I ordered... Because what I remember most is the experience. Sharing appetizers on a sunny patio, meeting fellow basketball fans from halfway around the world, and watching Indianapolis come alive before tipoff. It reminded me that sports have a funny way of turning complete strangers into friends. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're headed to Gainbridge.

Our server was friendly and responsive to one member of our group (male) but repeatedly didn't acknowledge another (female). This wasn't a one-time thing, it happened several times over the course of our visit, and it came across as dismissive. As for the drinks: beer prices were nice and cheap, but the margarita was on the expensive side and not really worth it. The place seems geared toward bigger dinner crowds, which may be why a two-person drinks-only table didn't get much attention, but being essentially ignored isn't a great look either way. We wouldn't return. 2/5.
