    Catfish and fries
    Caroline W.

    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.

    Sweet Potato Cheesecake
    Tierra R.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Meatloaf, corn and stuffing
    Tim C.

    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.

    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.

    Grilled cheese with greens BOTH times
    Erika G.

    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.

    Waffle with strawberry butter
    Katie N.

    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.

    Mac n Cheese and Candied Sweet Potatoes
    Melanie B.

    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

    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.

Although, I wasn't disappointed in the brisket, it should have cooked at least 2-3 hours longer. Ambiance, ehh. Now the portion size of sides Mac and cheese and the Cole slaw had to be a mistake. The cup size is what I imagine you'd order from a kids menu. Maybe 2 ounce soufflés cup size. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese was horrid. It tasted like combining a generic version of some odd flavored Campbells cream soup, with dirty dish water blended into what was once perfectly delicious, traditional grannies recipe. Additionally, the bread was hard. The good news is, it didn't make me mad when I threw the bad away. I think if I do return, I'll forego the two toddler sides and order ala-cart and just get the brisket. One more thing, whats with the unsanitary curtains sprawled across the behind the scenes action, where the "magic" is created? Why is it hidden? What are we missing? Overall, the joint gets 3 stars. The gross ripoff sides get a zero, which is why the brisket got robbed. DO BETTER Big Hoffas. Please?

The brisket was tender, flavorful, and exactly what good barbecue should be, and the pulled pork was just as impressive. Even the sides were spot-on. I lived in Texas for 30 years, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to barbecue. I can confidently say City Barbeque would hold its own in Texas -- and I'd put this meal up against what you'd find at plenty of Texas barbecue joints any day. I also have to mention the gentleman who brought our order out to the car. It was raining, but he was incredibly friendly, conscientious, and made sure everything was taken care of. That kind of service makes a great meal even better. Excellent food, excellent service, and an excellent experience from start to finish. City Barbeque continues to deliver.

    Been coming here for years. It is a staple in Indy for ribs, and BBQ in general. My go-to orders…read moreare the rib tips and the pig feet. You can order the meat only or get a dinner that includes 2 sides and your choice of bread (white, wheat, or cornbread). They provide very generous portion sizes. The rib tips are the best that I have had in Indy thus far. They are tender and the seasoning they use is delicious. You could eat them without any sauce. However, the sauce is what takes it over the top for me. They offer sweet, medium, hot, or they will mix the sauces for you. The hot has a pretty good kick as a warning if you are sensitive to spice. I recently tried the Bar B Q bun, which is essentially a pulled pork sandwich. The pork is finely shredded and the sauce is poured on top of the pork. It's almost a fork and knife sandwich, as the bottom bun gets soaked in the sauce. Their sides have definitely reduced in quality over the years. I recently tried the mac and cheese and greens. As a note, they only have greens Friday - Sunday and they often times run out on Sunday if you do not get there early. The mac and cheese was dry and had little flavor. The greens, which used to be my favorite in the city, reminded me of cooked spinach and weren't seasoned. The service remains great. With the amount of people waiting while I was there, they were friendly and efficient. I wanted to order chess pie and there were not any readily available behind the counter. They told me they had some coming out of the oven in the kitchen if I was willing to wait and they brought it over once done. It is carry-out only, so be prepared to take it elsewhere to eat. You can call ahead to place your order as well.
