This is the potato bowl. It was still full s when I was done  Jummy
Suzanne K.

We had not eaten at this restaurant since Butler. We decided to give it a go and were very pleased. The menu is geared towards lumber jack food. Everyone in the restaurant looked ready for "big food". The diner served it We we greeted immediately and coffee was served. The dining area was spotless and cleaned immediately as someone got up. It is comfortable to sit as long as you wish and the coffee flows I had an egg bowl. Two eggs prepared beautifully on top of sausage gravy, friend potato, cheese and sausage. Yum Too big for me to eat. I about 1/4 at most. I wanted to eat more, just too full. My husband had chicken fried steak, eggs, grits or potato and toast. He ate it all. He loves lumberjack food! The wait staff was personable and interactive. Rash to talk with and she mad us feel like we were at home. Will we go back? You betcha. Something's change and some stay about the same! Glad we stopped in

I had never been here before but was happy to try a new place to me! I was able to find a table and was greeted with menus and water. I ended up getting the perfect amount of food! Eggs, bacon toast and oj, it was perfect and delicious! The alumni I met also enjoyed his breakfast! All around great experience, and I can't wait to go back!

We stopped in after horseback riding for a late breakfast, they were a bit short staffed but Emily and her team kept on top of it! The food was great, we all agreed that we were glad we stopped in! Can't wait to come back! Update: My card was charged twice, so be careful of that

There was a small wait before being greeted at the door. Once I sat down, I was taken care of right away. The food was made to order. My potatoes came out cold. I let my waitress know. She apologized and had a fresh plate delivered to my table in minutes. The pancakes were probably the best I've ever had. The outside had a perfect crunch while the inside was super fluffy. I ordered grits and didnt have a chance to fix them up. They were delicious with just butter after eating my pancakes and potatoes. They played old school videos on the TV. You pay upfront. I can't wait to go back.

The cinnamon pancake is to die for. Sunday mornings are slammed, so be prepared for some waiting. But the food is fantastic. The dining area is pretty typical found object diner. We will go back for sure.

Egg White Veggie Omelet with sliced Tomatoes, Sausage and potatoes
Andrew C.

One of my favorite diners in Indiana. Great service, been open for 40 years.. Great breakfast, food and service!

Inside open kitchen
David C.

OMG, why haven't I tried this little diner before? Honestly! I stopped in this morning and was greeted with happy faces and the smell of fresh coffee. Went simple with the pancake breakfast, and oh my! The grits were spot-on perfect. The eggs were to order, and the pancakes ... THE PANCAKES ... the sweet crème they roll with are something special! They were crisp, sweet, and hearty! Was thoroughly impressed, so give them a shot if you're in the area!

Menu

Pretty, pretty, pretty good breakfast place. With a very unassuming and unpretentious on both the inside and the outside, with very hard-working staff, we still had a very solid experience. We were impressed with the variety of choices that the menu offered, we had a really hard time choosing our meals. Shoutout to the people I was with who agreed to quasi share all our meals. I really liked the corned beef hash I got, and the Bill's Breakfast my friend (not named Bill) got. My husband got the chicken and waffles with the h it honey upgrade. This was the weakest of the dishes, and the honey was just mixed with hot sauce. We still ate and enjoyed it though. Overall, this was a surprisingly good experience. My not-named-Bill friend is a local and said he may have found a new place to be a regular at. Give them a try!

Corned beef hash and apples
Sandy L.

Corned beef hash, better than it looks! Good country fried potatoes and chunks of corned beef. Finally, I found some not out of the can! The gravy I saw go by looked good too. I'll have to go bake and try it. The hash is an occasional treat, $17.25 expensive because they don't hold back on the meat, quality costs and it's worth it. Comfortable and friendly place.

Cinnamon roll pancakes (2)
Patricia N.

If you have a sweet tooth get the cinnamon roll pancakes. I think they taste better than a cinnamon roll.

Omelet
Phil B.

Not even sure we knew this place existed before today. Doing brunch with good friends today and they came up with Keystone Diner. Not sure if there was a wait or not since our friends were seated when we got there. There was definitely a wait later. Food was kinda your typical Diner fair, which done right is great. Our server was friendly and drinks and refills were always there. Food didn't take long to get and I loved the open kitchen. Food ordered was: Earls Simple Breakfast ( Bacon, Two eggs, biscuit and Added a side of gravy ) Breakfast Bowl ( Hash browns, onions and sausage topped with 2 scrambled eggs then smothered with sausage gravy and shredded cheddar, w toast) Build Your Own Omelet ( ham, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese) and Eggs Benedict with country ham. No one had any food complaints. Portions were good size and everyone was full. Very much a dive but dives always have the best food. We will be back.

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Went years ago and gave a solid review, so figure might as well go back…read more Woof, how times have changed. First it took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken while everyone seated after us was ordering drinks and food. Then we finally ordered, an espresso martini with vodka and a glass of cava with a splash of orange juice. Drinks came out... full mimosa and the espresso martini with sake, yet nobody told us they didn't have vodka until we ordered a second round. Preceded to order breakfast... waffle, slab bacon, eggs, toast, and another slab bacon. Food came, and was fine except we got the slab bacon and then some burnt to a crisp thin cut bacon. Just average at best experience, and won't be coming back. Plus add in 20% gratuity and 3% cc charge. Unfortunately we will pass.

French Dip- would have liked a little cheese and maybe some crunchy onions on it but other the.ln that it was amazing Chicken bacon club 5 STARS --- MUST ORDER. IT WAS AMAZING AND SAVED THE MEAL The aioli sauce was not good. Not sure what it was and it was $1.25. The curry ketchup was OUT OF THE WORLD and worth the $1.25 The waitress was nice and did well however I wish she would have noticed the salads untouched and asked if everything was ok. Sure I could have mentioned it but I tend to only mention if asked. Overall the place was beautiful, parking, while expensive ($8 an hour) was easy and I am happy I marked it off my list of places to try.

We ordered cheese curds and baked goat cheese to start. The cheese curds were more like cheese cubes, the batter was light. The baked goat cheese could have used more jam on top. The server was pretty good, after ordering apps though disappeared for a long time and did not come back to check to see if we were ready to order. I got the bacon smash burger and fries. The burger was good but very filling.

Went to Cafe Patachou yesterday morning and had one of the best breakfasts of my trip!…read more The avocado toast was warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly seedy with just the right balance of crunchy and soft, and they were generous with the avocado. I especially loved the radish and pickled onions on top. Such a simple breakfast, but every bite was so good. And then there was the pistachio iced latte. YUM. I added whipped cream, which really took it to the next level.

The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!
