This is my first time at this location. I have been to the other location a few times. This restaurant is in a small strip mall and has a decent-sized parking lot. There is a decent-sized dining room with televisions. As an added bonus, they have a camera kiosk at the front of the resturant, where you can take souvenir pictures. Just be warned, I came on an average Tuesday, and this place is packed. The staff there was very friendly, and our server was very attentive and helpful. They serve soul food and barbecue. Some of their favorites include chicken and waffles, fried chicken, ribs, catfish, potato salad, green beans, French fries, and salads. I ordered the sampler with fried catfish, 2 wings, baked beans, and collard greens. And yes, they do have hot sauce. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food, and that was good considering the place was packed. My was was fresh, hot, and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was perfectly seasoned and masterfully fried. I highly recommend checking this place out, and I definitely will be back soon.
So, so good. The fried chicken was to die for. The sweet potato cheesecake was amazing. Everything we had was fantastic. It was clean and everyone was friendly. Highly recommend!
Soul Food - Wow! This restaurant is located in a strip mall with a parking lot, making it easy to find parking. The surrounding area may not look like much from the outside, but don't let that discourage you. As soon as we walked through the door, we felt welcomed. We were greeted immediately and seated in a comfortable booth. The inside of the restaurant was surprisingly nice. It was very clean, well-maintained, and featured modern décor that gave the space a warm and inviting atmosphere. The combination of contemporary touches and a comfortable dining area made it a great place to sit back and enjoy a meal. Our waiter was outstanding and took the time to walk us through the menu, explain some of the popular dishes, and answer all of our questions. The friendly service made the experience even better. The food? All I can say is wow! Every bite reminded me of the soul food I grew up eating with my mom. It brought back wonderful memories and delivered the kind of comfort food experience that's hard to find. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. For sides, we tried the salad, potato salad, fries, mac and cheese, and baked beans. Everything was delicious, but the baked beans were the star of the meal. They had amazing flavor and are something I would highly recommend ordering. The cornbread that came with the meal was also fresh, moist, and complemented everything perfectly. We also ordered the Choose 2 option with catfish and smothered pork. Both dishes were flavorful and cooked well. The catfish was nicely seasoned, and the smothered pork was tender and satisfying. From the welcoming atmosphere and modern décor to the excellent service and incredible food, this was a dining experience that exceeded expectations. I left impressed and already looking forward to my next visit. There are several other items on the menu that I can't wait to try. If you're looking for soul food, generous portions, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit.
It must be Soul Food Saturday night because His Place is packed. There still no wait to be to be seated for 2. This restaurant has a very busy carry-out business.
If you're looking for really good soul food, like the what your grandma used to make, you've found the right place. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a family friendly environment. The fried chicken was crispy and well seasoned. The mash potatoes taste very homemade considering the slight lumps, but the potatoes have plenty of butter. The corn bread has a slight sweetness that's welcome contrast to the slight salty gravy. Overall the food was a 10 out of 10 for me. I will definitely try something else on the very southern menu.
TL;DR: This place is fantastic. You need to eat here. My office has catered from His Place before, so I decided to dine in with another couple. I ordered the smoked meatloaf with creamed corn and stuffing, and I have to say, it outshined the meatloaf I make on my charcoal grill at home. The smoked flavor and taste of the meat was incredible, the stuffing was fantastic, and the creamed corn was perfectly done. Everyone at our table loved their meals. We were so impressed that we've been back three weeks in a row. Honestly, we haven't found a single thing we don't like on the menu. His Place is a must-visit. This will become a Indy staple, if it isn't already.
I was in the area in time for their weekday lunch menu that ends at 3 pm. I accidentally went to the front counter and did not realize I was ordering takeout. So she directed me to re-order after being escorted to a table by the host left of the door. Unfortunately, EMS was there for patient. They were actually not too disturbing. The owner James was very caring. He came to my table as he typically does to check on our experience. My 4 perch with corn bread and candied sweet potatoes were overfilling on my plate so I asked for an additional plate. Then I thought that I could just move my bowl of yams onto the table. Perch was quite breaded and somewhat meaty. The takeout lady had me thinking I would get 2 cornbread, but actually I only got one by dining in. Candied sweet potatoes were amazing and hit the spot! My lunch special was $15.99 without tax. I passed on the Frank hot sauce and the unwanted tartar sauce. Wow, they have a camera machine by the exit to capture the moment! I am glad that I finally got to this new location. Food was great but service could use a little improvement.
The food wasn't terrible, but I do think the marketing sets an expectation of quality that the food doesn't quite deliver. I ordered the Smoked Turkey Breast dinner with greens and sweet potatoes, and unfortunately, several things felt like shortcuts were taken. The greens were very heavy on the vinegar, and although they're advertised with turkey meat, there wasn't any in my serving. The sweet potatoes were extremely sweet and syrupy, rather than having the more traditional brown sugar and marshmallow-style preparation I was expecting. The biggest disappointment was the turkey breast. It tasted and looked more like pre-sliced processed deli turkey than smoked turkey breast, and some pieces were either mushy or tough. I'm sharing this as honest feedback because the food has potential, but the quality doesn't seem to match the marketing or the price. If you're going to market something as high quality, the preparation and ingredients should reflect that. I'd much rather see the traditional recipes and quality shine through than see shortcuts taken.
We were in town picking up a car and just wanted to try a place with some soul food. This was perfect. Good ambiance, the service was good and quick. The food was amazing as my family tried multiple items. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars in because of the fish. It was clearly swai. Had I known, we wouldn't have ordered it. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience.
Want some really great soul food? Then you should definitely try His Place Eatery. We were greeted warmly and our servers have always been professional and knowledgeable about the menu. My first visit, I had the fried catfish, greens and Mac/cheese. When I tell you the catfish was HOT(temp).......I mean it was hot forever! Not sure how they do it but I'm glad they do. Second visit I had the fried chicken. Yum! Fried to perfection and seasoned just right. Husband had the grilled cheese with greens BOTH times. It's so fun eating there because everyone including the customers are so nice. The restaurant is brightly colored and full of energy!
Easy 5 stars! This place honestly deserves more. During my trip to Indy for All Star weekend I was determined to find some good food. I would have never stumbled upon this gem had it not been for meeting Bri, who coordinated some of the events during All Star Weekend. She mentioned her family having a restaurant and proceeded to share. I must say this was worth every minute driving from downtown to this area of Indy. The staff here was phenomenal and you can tell this is THE SPOT. There are two locations for this establishment. I'm sure they both will grant you the same experience and burst of flavors in every bite. You want soul food, you're going to get soul food. Food made with love straight from the soul. Food was so good, I had to order a plate to go that was going to travel 4 hours with me back to Tennessee. If you're ever in Indy, come here. You will NOT be disappointed.
I'm just glad I don't live closer because I'dbe in trouble lol. The food is fantastic, service was wonderful, and it's clean. I was invited by a friend to go on a Friday afternoon and then by another friend the next day, Saturday, and i gladly accepted that invitation. The portion sizes are great and I'll usually have a small leftover. My favorite sides so far have been the greens and sweet potatoes. It can get pretty busy around dinner(5/6pm) and weekends seem to be pretty busy but they seem to still get you in pretty fast and I haven't experienced crazy wait times for food to come. My favorite place for a good meal, can't wait to come back.
I've been hearing the hype about His Place and was excited to give this new location a try! I will admit I was a little put off by the price point of the dishes, but after tasting the food, I feel like it was worth it! The restaurant is relatively new, impeccably clean, and has a nice size dining room with booths and tables as well as a counter for easy take out ordering. I settled on the catfish with the advice of our server and was very pleased with it. The cornmeal crust was perfectly crisp, the fish was flaky and was fried just right, without being greasy. If I had one critique it would be that the breading needed a little more salt, but that's really nitpicking because overall it was some of the best fried catfish I've had! The side dishes were also great, the cole slaw is creamy and sweet and the creamed corn had great flavor. Our table also tried the fried chicken, waffle, and the Buffalo catfish sandwich. All dishes received two thumbs up! The strawberry butter in particular set the chicken and waffles apart. Next time I'd love to try some of their other house made flavored butters, because I'm sure they're delicious too! Our server was very friendly and attentive. We appreciated her recommendations and answers to our menu questions. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. I would highly recommend stopping in the next time you're craving a good soul food meal.

Had His Place Eatery for the first time for dinner while running errands in the area! I had the fried fish with greens and dressing! It all was amazing!!! It made me feel right at home (down south) and everything was fresh and hot. That fish was to filleted perfectly how I love it and this will likely be my go-to moving forward! The service was also nice! The staff was very polite in giving recommendations and being timely. Similar to the food, I was feeling Southern Hospitality! The ambiance gives casual/come as you are. This is perfect for family dinners, an outing for a couple, or anyone who just has a taste for comfort food one night. Can't wait to go again! read more

This place was poppin! Wow so busy!! Definitely has a great menu. Lots of classics and unique combinations. I really wish the chicken and dumplings was available because I bet I would've loved it. I got the chef js feast so I could try the brisket and pulled pork. Both were good but slightly drier than I wish. I like when my pulled pork has lots of juice from the cooking. Mac and cheese was delicious and the stuffing was unique and tasted good! The table seemed to think the sweet potatoes were the stand out item. Would love to go back! read more

Needing comfort food, my sister and I did a yelp search to find a place that fit. It needed to be relatively close to St Vincent Heart Center and casual because neither of us had packed appropriate clothing for an upscale restaurant. My search lead us to a pic of His Place Eatery's Fried Chicken Pot Pie and we knew we found our restaurant. We both ordered Sweet Tea and it didn't disappoint. I drank a tall glass before I even ordered my food. We also each ordered the Fried Chicken Pot Pie, Candied Sweet Potatoes , and Mac n Cheese. Some entrees come with your choice of sides, but the pot pie doesn't. We had to pay extra for those, but we didn't mind at all. Our dinner was exactly the comfort food we needed. The fried chicken was juicy, the mac n cheese creamy, and the candied sweet potatoes offered the perfect balance to the rich, savory foods Feeling a little extra, we even ordered peach cobbler and ice cream to end our evening. It was all memorable. Loved our waitress Janise. She was really friendly and offered great service read more

I came in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and it was a nice amount of people there. But it wasn't too busy that we had to wait. Our server was great. She was attentive and helpful with choosing my lunch. I went with chicken and fish with greens and sweet potatoes. It was SO good! Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection! I did use the restrooms during my visit and they were clean and well lit. read more

I know I'm late getting to this location, but worth. the. wait. Their food is SO good!!! I came here on Mother's Day with my mom, grandma, and brother. We decided to check out the new location and figured it would be insanely busy because of the holiday and how popular this place is. Since they don't take reservations, we made it a point to get there right at opening, which is 11am. We were seated immediately. The ladies at the front were incredibly sweet and showed us to our table. We sat at a booth, and I think these booths might be a bit smaller than standard because it was definitely a little snug for four people. If you're sitting across from someone, just know you might accidentally play footsie during your meal--but don't let that deter you! Our server Kylie was amazing..super sweet and super knowledgeable. My mom and grandma were curious about the mac & cheese, and Kylie offered to bring out a couple of samples for them to try, which was such a kind touch. Unsurprisingly, the mac & cheese was incredible, so we all ended up ordering it as a side with our meals. Here's what we tried: + Boneless fried chicken (comes with 2 sides of your choice, but I ordered an extra): collard greens, mac & cheese, sweet potatoes and cornbread +Meatloaf with mac & cheese, sweet potatoes, and cornbread +Red velvet chicken and waffles with a side of mac & cheese They also have a great dessert selection, and we all ordered the banana pudding--10/10! All in all, the food was amazing and I seriously cannot stop thinking about it. I'll definitely be back--hopefully sooner rather than later. Run, don't walk, to His Place Eatery!! Ps-- they have a photo booth at the front for pictures! How fun. read more
This was me and my family's first time eating at His Place's newest location on the Northwest side. After experiencing this particular His Place, I must say that this is the best one and one of my top 5 places to go eat In Indianapolis. From the service to the atmosphere to the amazing food/ drink, 10/10!! 1. Atmosphere- The atmosphere was very modern, new, clean, welcoming, and home-y. I loved it! What I loved most was the stark difference of space between this location and their Eastside location. There was so much more space to be seated, order, and move around. I didn't feel too crowded or removed from the rest of the restaurant. 2. Service- The service was A1! Our waitress, Brandy, was phenomenal. She was timely, inviting, and nice. The other restaurant workers were also very nice and welcoming. 3. FOOD- The food?? Bussin! OMG. They outdid themselves during this last visit! I have been plotting my next visit ever since we left lol! So my son got the chicken wing dinner with fries. I got a the chicken wing and fried catfish combo dinner with green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. My girlfriend got the fried catfish dinner with sweet potatoes and baked beans. We also got a side of macaroni and cheese and greens for good measure. We all also chose to receive a cornbread muffin with our meals. Yall... I'm not exaggerating I literally loved all of the food. The chicken wings reminded me of the homemade fried ones that I used to love so much when I was younger. My son tore his wings up, and he's a picky eater . So that says a lot. The fries were surprisingly so delish. Perfectly cooked. My FAVORITE side was the sweet potatoes!! I'm not even a big sweet potato girl but they were too good! I can't wait to slide my fork back through those smh . This fish is and will always be a hit with me, and I'll always recommend it. I didn't get a picture, but they make an Uptown (sweet tea/ lemonade mix) that is soooo FIRE ! That is a must have from here forth. Lastly, for dessert we had their sweet potato cheesecake. Also, delicious! His Place easily earned all 5 of their stars. read more
We were warmly welcomed as we entered the establishment. That is always a plus for me.the chef/owner made the rounds to all tables to ensure our needs were met. The staff were kind, courteous, and gracious. The location at the corner of a small strip mall area. It's extremely clean and well kept. The facilities were well taken care of, you can tell daily maintenance is just as important as the food they serve. Another plus, for me. My family and I shared the meals so we could all get a taste. Our favorite was the fried chicken. It was seasoned well, fried fresh, and served hot and crispy. It looked and tasted delicious. Food is a visual for me and the presentation was top tier. As someone who routinely makes a Sunday Soul Food Dinner, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste, freshness, and presentation. I'm glad I stopped in. read more

The response from the manager regarding my review is pretty disappointing. We did not request to be moved. The host decided on a booth instead of the table because the seating of another party made their chair pushed to the end of the table the host originally tried to seat us at. We also requested the high chair after we were sat at the booth. Then upon the second request we were told we could not have it at the booth. Not the first request and not even when we came in and asked for "3 and a high chair" from the host. We tried to seek out our server as well as other server's attention near us. I do not feel that complaining to the manager and causing an unpleasant experience for our table when we are trying to celebrate is appropriate. I had no plans of even writing a review until we had the change shortage issue arise when we were on the way home. Finally the most disappointing part of the response, saying you wish I had left a positive review all these years not just a negative one. I have reviewed your business positively before on yelp, google reviews and even throw back to the end of year reviews that ran for the years of COVID on Indy Best Food pages. I have written around 6 positive, outstanding reviews on how much I have loved this place. That is see able right here on this platform to just even confirm one of those. To imply that I only have written a negative review after saying I have respected your business for years, is disappointing. You did not respond to apologize but you responded to push the blame and responsibility onto the customer. You said you were disappointed I wrote my review, the one negative out of the many positives. read more

How did they do it? This place is so unassuming, but the food was great! We got seated fast and it was pretty quiet when we came in. The service was great our whole visit. We got some help on the menu (it's loaded, but there are options that aren't posted). I got a burger and it was overcooked, but still tasty. The fried chicken breast I got was way better. It was bettered well and was juicy and flavorful. We all ate until we thought we were going to burst! Great service, good food! read more

I knew as soon as I saw it announced that I would make my way to the second and newest location of His Place Eatery, a divinely inspired establishment at 30th and Shadeland that has now opened up shop in a storefront at 86th and Ditch Road on Indy's northwest side. His Place Eatery is a locally owned establishment specializing in soul food and BBQ. Started by Chef James Jones and his wife Shawn, it weaves together a tapestry of exceptionally flavorful food, warm and comfortable atmosphere, and consistent hospitality. I was delivering Easter lilies at a nearby retirement community and decided to take the opportunity to finally stop at His Place Eatery. It was fairly soon after they opened and just a bit before the usual Sunday lunch/brunch, post-church crowd would arrive. His Place is located in an older strip center. The strip has some accessible parking and several end spots. I had no trouble finding a spot that would work. There's a curb cut almost directly in front of His Place. The double glass doors are pretty manageable and there are employees close by if help is needed. As you turn left inside, you're at the hosting station. There's a dining area and an area for carry-out. They debated where to put me - initially looking at a two-top. Fortunately, you could tell they were thinking wisely (as both me and my wheelchair are a bit wider) and put me at a four-top. I appreciated the consideration - this place can get crowded so that was definitely an act of hospitality. The menu consists of a variety of options mostly in the soul food, BBQ arenas. They have entrees (2 sides), baskets (with fries, no substitutions), a few signature dishes, sides, and a handful of desserts. I was tempted to try their Smokehouse Meatloaf, however, opted for a fried chicken basket - you can get it with white meat, dark meat, or four wings. I opted for white meat. It includes fries and bread. His Place carries Pepsi products along with both sweet and unsweetened tea. They also have fruit punch and Uptown. This is not fast food. It's well made food with pricing typically in the $15-20 range. Entrees will make it a wee bit higher. His Place also offers catering. Okay, the experience? The food? Sublime. The fried chicken was beautifully seasoned and surprisingly plentiful. This was a nicely sized meal. I also enjoyed the fries. The bread was probably the weak link here for me - I still enjoyed it. The service? Perfect. It was warm, hospitable, and thoughtful. They handled the wheelchair well. I lingered a bit with my iced tea and was encouraged to do so. It has been a rough week as my father entered hospice this week - it was nice to be encouraged to just sit and enjoy my meal and my drink. Interestingly, I'd been scheduled to come here for the first time with a friend on the night my father entered ICU a little over a week ago. The emergency detoured my dinner plans. It was so nice to come back and to be treated so well. This isn't fancy dining. The atmosphere is simple yet warm and comfy. The food feels like home cooking (Okay, maybe your home. Not my home. I could never make food this good). The service was wonderful. Will I be back? Absolutely. read more

We managed to check out this restaurant while visiting Indianapolis and were pleasantly surprised! We were a party of 12 and showed up immediately at opening. The server was kind and made recommendations for desserts. The potato salad was my personal star and the sweet potatoes were amazing. The waffles were fluffy and perfectly crisp on the outside and the green beans were extremely flavorful so was the dressing. The have killed the sides game. There were no complaints about the chicken and seasoning on the wings but I will say the catfish could stand to get that same treatment, the hot sauce saved it and I have a preference for a crispier crust on the fish but still tasty. It is absolutely a place to go back to, oh and order the Uptown drink! read more
My friend asked if I had heard of this restaurant, which I had, so we decided to check it out tonight. All of the employees were friendly with smiles on their face. They checked in to make sure we were enjoying everything and were willing to offer suggestions. I got the rib tips with Mac n cheese, potato salad (waiter recommended it) and corn bread. Everything was delicious. The rib tips were a little crisp in parts but were still very good! I would order them again. The potato salad had a nice sweet kick I enjoyed and the Mac n cheese has a unique flavor that made it tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

Thank you for stopping in while you were in town, we appreciate you…
His Place Eatery is hands down THE BEST soul food in the 317!!! The service, food, and atmosphere are simply not rivaled! EVERY dish is well seasoned, there isn't a weak side dish among them, and don't get me started on the desserts! If you are remotely in the area of this place, stop playing games and go receive the blessing of the Lord on your life! read more
Our server, Brandy, did a phenomenal job answering all our questions and bringing smiles, laughter, and good hot food! Please give this man a raise! We ordered multiple dishes, including chicken and waffles, smoked meatloaf, pork belly BLT, and a Fried Chicken dinner with sides. All the food was fantastic! The wait staff and all the employees were very friendly and full of smiles! They set the bar high for what a soul food restaurant should be! The owner, Chef, has done an outstanding job! We will continue to support your business! This is truly BLACK EXCELLENCE!!!!! read more

Anyone who gives this place anything less than five stars is a damned liar lol. I love southern food. I lived in South Carolina and Georgia for seven years. I can't believe I'm gonna say this Indiana restaurant has the best Southern Food I've ever had. Every single entree and side dish was perfect. Somehow they made collard greens taste like fair food. The ribs were eye-opening. Every person who helped us was exceedingly polite. Clean. Bright. Absolute perfection. read more
