We dined here during post-wedding festivities and they did not disappoint. The food was amazing and the service throughout the event was super quick. I certainly want to return to experience the restaurant itself! Our bartender was friendly and thorough. Holy cow did she know her stuff too! I would give this place another spin! read more

After a disappointing 1st try at Indy BBQ (BBQ and Bourbon), I found a place that comes very close to my home BBQ in central Texas. I ordered the brisket and ribs and was not disappointed. The brisket was moist and tender and the ribs came close to falling off the bone. Both were very tasty. The sides of green beans and tater tots were quite large and also very tasty. I would return to Liter House for a 2nd try. The bartender has helpful and, at least, one of the lady brew masters was an amazon goddess in her onesie PJ's. Can't remember my beer, but it was also good. read more

This place is great! I love the location and food the food is delicious. It's a great place to come with kids as they can play in the rocks outside. A toddlers dream. read more

What a fun place to enjoy dinner! Staff is very welcoming and happy. Everyone more than willing to answer questions and make recommendations. Chose the steamed mussels for an appetizer and I must say they were not my favorite. The broth was a little on the sweet side w smoked apples and I did not find that it paired well with the muscles. So I was very excited to have the Schnitzel for dinner: so delicious! The salad that came as a side was fresh and crisp and the asparagus cooked to perfection. The spazel with mushroom was good but somewhat heavy. I'd love to come back for more Bavarian specialties! read more

Liter House - Caterers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Oh. My. Gosh. I was able to experience this place due to devour Indy and it was amazing. I had high expectations going in because it's related to Big Lug and I'm a fan of them, but Liter House availed did not disappoint. I just wish they weren't so expensive so I could go more often! Their devour menu was a really good deal and I highly recommend taking advantage of it because the meals were slightly different from their regular menu. I got the stew made with impossible ground "beef" and it convinced me I'd have no problem being a vegetarian. It was so good. I also ordered the candy bar for dessert and was pleasantly surprised by how rich and tasty it was. I'll attach a photo of that. Additionally, I ordered a (liter of) beer, because how can you not. I got the Wizard of Saaz because of the pun and it was on special and it's a nice czech lager. I'd definitely drink it again and will probably return for beer in the near future. read more

Yes, I realize I won't make any friends with this review, but I can't help but tell the truth. Let me say that I have worked many years in the food industry myself, was married many years to a chef, have run a successful foodie group over 5 years now... and by the way was born and raised in Germany. And I cringe when I think about this place being marketed as German. Getting some glass mugs and throwing some German words on the menu, does not make a German restaurant. I generally enjoy Sahm's restaurants, but this is a huge blunder I am sorry to say, because I really wanted to love this place and I don't leave bad reviews lightly. I do not understand how this place get's these good reviews. Let's start with the good: The remodel of the old Bent Rail space is phenomenal, looks wonderful. Great job. It doesn't have the advertised beer hall feel though. The beer is great. A very nice selection of brews. Then again, if you are marketing it as a German spot you should be aware that Germans have different glassware for the different types of beer. While you can drink most out of you regular glass mug, you really should serve a Weizen in a Weizen glass... that would be the tall slender glass. Minor detail, but it keeps that type of beer from going flat so fast. The food.. Oh my... the only god remarks I heard from my entire group was that the beet salad and the tomato salad were excellent. Not German, but quite tasty. And that is where it ends. I understand that this is supposed to be fancy German cuisine, but before you get fancy, you need to get the basics right. If you're just throwing stuff together to be different and to go with the trend it will catch up with you eventually. I ordered the brat... yeah, it came with doctored up kraut that had kale in it, not great but edible. The potato dumplings had zero taste, leaving you with a rather dry tasteless mass in your mouth while you are trying to figure out how on earth you're going to swallow that. The brat itself, first off not what a German would call a brat, but let's not be too particular, the casing was tough and the filling dry and very chewy. So horribly overdone I couldn't eat more than 2 pieces. The only redeeming quality was the mustard, that was delicious. Tried the frikadelle, another bone dry meat, yet at least it had some taste to it. The fries were however served cold. Blood sausage, also dry and extremely salty. Krapfen, or donuts as you may, because those certainly have nothing in common with a Krapfen, other than the sugar they're covered in. How can something so greasy be so dry inside and dense? Maybe all this dry stuff increases beer sales? And the advertised Gemuetlichkeit? Not so much. Clearly the waitress was efficient but had about as much warmth as a glacier. Clearly she wanted us out of there quickly. Can I finish ordering before you rip the menu out of my hand? I do know that tables need to be turned, but geesh. If you can't reach something, could you ask for help? Don't reach and lean all over me as I am trying to eat. Only about 1/4 of our group would come back for food. The majority would come back for a beer if in the neighborhood, but would not make a special trip here. read more

This was our first visit and we will be back again. However, we were very disappointed that the KRUAT BALLS ARE NO LONGER ON THE MENU. The appetizers were "adequate" The German Pretzel is small and three mustards offered although very tasty, was not enough to properly dip the pretzel. The Raclette Latke was flavorful but very difficult to eat. The purpose of Raclette cheese is to enjoy its gooey ness. However, a cold cheese gets hard and must be cut with a fork and knife. (Too much effort for an appetizer). The five star performances were in the service from server, Tracy and all three entrees we decided to select. My son had the pork schnitzel which he said was amazing. He let Mom and Dad sample it and had to fight us off from stealing more. Very large portion with a light and crispy coating balanced with a mushroom sauce that was perfect. The currywurst was very tasty. The two large sausages were so juicy that when I cut into them they squirted juice across the table. The liter burger was so large that only half could be eaten. The beef was very flavorful and complimented the pretzel bun. If measuring value, Liter House scores high. appetizers under ten and entrees under twenty with two boxes going home. One last thing! Try their curry ketchup on anything. It came with the currywurst but virtually was licked clean. Tracy noticed my addiction to it and brought out more. read more

I've been here twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. I do wonder if the name is meant to be a play on words - Liter House, Lederhosen. The food is very tasty and though some dishes are pricier than other places, the portion size is very generous. On my first trip, I had the devour menu, with Pretzel, Currywurst, and an underwhelming dessert (something that's not on their regular menu, anyway). The pretzel was fresh and about what you'd expect. The currywurst was delicious, though I would say that it was more inspired by the currywurst you would get from a street vendor in Germany, than looking like the same. Again, the portion size was insane, and you could easily get away with splitting it between two people, especially if you get anything else. The second visit, I went for breakfast and had the pimento poutine. Once again, it was very tasty, but it was more inspired by poutine than authentic to Canada. It was closer to cheese fries. Being in Broadripple, parking may be an issue, and the place can get busy, but it's a unique place and worth a visit. read more

I'd like to pretend that I had some sort of influence on the development of Liter House, the latest and greatest of the Sahm establishments that recently opened in the increasingly foodie-centric SoBro area of Indy. I've established myself within the Sahm's world as a trusted Yelp critic, often both criticism and praise with equal enthusiasm and fairness and, according to their leadership team, with the kinds of details necessary for effective follow-up. It's also well known that I'm a wheelchair user, a fact that I mention in nearly all my reviews or, at minimum, that influences my reviews as I inevitably mention accessibility. So, I couldn't help but smile when I pulled up to Liter House and immediately realized that they had, in fact, taken great care to ensure easy wheelchair access from multiple appropriate parking spots to the side to a delightful, ADA compliant concrete ramp to the left of their main entrance and a floor plan that offers multiple options for wheelchairs. While they didn't go to Next Door American Eatery extreme of adding in automatic doors, the truth is I would definitely consider this A-grade accessibility. I had intentionally held off on being an early Liter House customer because of what I saw as one red flag - the website wasn't done. I arrived about 3pm on a Friday, an odd time to arrive at any restaurant and perhaps a death knell for a new restaurant. I would describe the decor as a weaving together of retro Indy and German traditional with a warm kitschy feeling accentuated by the short, winding hall at the entry, the ever dominating presence of the brewery area, and the intimate, darkly wooded main dining area that made me think of 1950's Indy restaurants. There's a combo of booths/tables and hosting area that greets you, though this being an odd time for lunch/dinner the hostess was actually away from the area but did quickly identify me and immediately turned her attention to me. The menu looks intimidating. I promise you - it is not. The tagline on the website says it all - "Bavarian Inspired. Indiana made." If you're a German delicacy purist, you'll likely say "Nice try." If you're used to the usual Sahm's menu, you'll probably get a little lost at first. Liter House was lucky enough to snag Chef John Adams, formerly of Bluebeard, whose creations here for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch lean toward German-tinged and German contemporary with hints the Midwestern sensibility necessary to survive in this market. Liter House is definitely an experimental effort, but it's a rather grand one with a 110-seat family dining area and bar with private meeting spaces and a 200-seat banquet room also available. The still under construction complex is also adding a barbecue and beer pavilion and a rooftop wine and whiskey bar are in the works. I was a little thrown off to be told that I had arrived during "Happy Hour," a time with a somewhat limited menu that didn't exactly make me happy. Fortunately, the week's specials plus starters were still available and I had no problem finding something for what I considered lunch. At $12, the Alles Geht: Kubanisch includes house made Cuban bread, Serrano ham, smoked pork loin, emmentaler, pickles, and kraut mustard with choice of side. Appetizers/Starters range from $5-10, meals tend to be in the low-to-mid teens (some go higher). I would place Liter House comfortably in the mid-scale price range and fairly consistent with most brewery/pub type establishments. I will confess I was a little concerned about food given my tendency toward "plain" foods and my somewhat sensitive system. The meal came with a side (I'll confess I chose boring yet delightful house cut fries). The food was sublime. While I had never had anything like this, I believe essentially a Cuban with a German twist, it was absolutely spot-on. The fries, while maybe not in keeping with the restaurant, were a perfect complement. While a meal delivered at 3pm may be suspect, this was top notch. My server, Hannah, was a friendly and somewhat introverted delight. She was helpful, attentive without being overbearing and had a low-key sense of humor. She gave me time to linger, though it's my understanding Liter House can snag bigger crowds later on and the lingering time may be more difficult. The only slight glitch, very slight, was plopping down the check not two minutes after telling me I could linger. If nothing else, psychologically that sends a "time to go" message. The hostess also gets kudos for spying my empty iced tea glass and filling it while Hannah was off serving another customer. Again, little touches mean a lot. I did not try beer, though definitely will in the future. Check out their website for the list, though you shouldn't be surprised to see mostly German-themed brews. I could likely go 4 stars, but Liter House really is a bold culinary statement in Indy and what's already good should only keep getting better. So, 5 stars it is. read more

Out of all of my Yelp check-in's, the two spots I have frequented most are Bent Rail (RIP) and Big Lug Canteen. When I learned that the Sahm's Restaurant Group was taking over 5301 Winthrop Ave., I wasn't worried one bit about the space's future. Eddie Sahm, Scott Ellis, and their team have mastered the art of being decent and pretty good with their decor, food, and beer, and Liter House is no exception. Thank you for giving this space new life and gifting SoBro with a top-notch brewery and restaurant. My lunchtime recs: -Shishito Peppers -Tomato, Peach, & Cucumber Salad (Thanks for not using greenhouse tomatoes!) -Potato Sauerkraut Balls (I appreciate having a meatless option.) -Eggplant Schnitzel -Currywurst (It's not the traditional version but still worth ordering.) -Spaetzle Mac & Cheese -Alpenhorn IPA -Goat Ranch Helles Lager read more

Ride your bike on the monon and make a stop at Liter House! No bike racks yet but plenty of spots to lock up your bike, if needed. Great service for only being open a few days. They offered their beers in Liters and 1/2 liter beers and full bar. The bratwurst was delicious and was served with a homemade mustard as well as sauerkraut. Grab some friends and check out Liter House soon! read more

The patio here was amazing. Let's just start off with that. I am a sucker for patios and the Liter house makes you feel like you're sitting on the beach somewhere with all the vibes. Just missing the water LOL! Anyway, my husband and I walked in and we had our toddler with us. They were very accommodating and nice to us and helped us get a high chair for our little. They helped us clean the high chair off because germs and Covid and sat us at a table outside. The waitress came up immediately and had amazing customer service. I love how she allowed us to sample some beers before picking one that we wanted with our meal. The beers all taste amazing! The food was good, it was seasoned well and you really can't go wrong with anything that you order. My only con is that it's expensive and the portions are small. So save your bucks to enjoy a good meal Pros Patio Customer service Kid friendly Beer Cons Small portions Price is high read more

Right on. Eddie Sahm and John Adams hit a home run here. If you like German food and beer, this is YOUR new go-to place in Indy. I've had all kinds of craft-brewed kolsch stateside, and they usually fall short. This is the closest I've found to the real deal you'll get in Cologne, Germany. The place looks nothing like it's predecessor (Bent Rail Brewery), transformed instead into a stylish contemporary gastropub. Expect to find a abbreviated menu of German food classics, but elevated and modern. I ordered the bratwurst. Instead of just a sausage on a bun, Liter House slices it and presents it a top a pile of kale and sauerkraut with a couple potato dumplings. I swiped the mustard from my kiddo's soft pretzel (he wasn't going to eat it anyway) and polished off every bite. The bite of burger I tried was darn tasty as well, and I LOVED the pretzel bun. I really, really want to try to the brisket goulash over spaetzle, but not when it's 90 degrees outside. Can't wait to come back in on a chilly autumn evening and order this. The gigantic pork schnitzel we saw a couple tables over looked great, too. Worth noting on the kids menu--- you can get a soft pretzel as a side item with macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets or a frankfurter. Being the proud parent of a 10-year-old who won't eat fries or fruit but polishes off any kind of bread, this is a BIG win. Hoping to get back in here very, very soon. read more

We went for brunch, and were a little underwhelmed. From other reviews i think lunch/dinner is the time to go. (I need to get my hands on their raclette fries!) The things to not miss: $1 oysters on Sunday, their bloody Mary's, their biscuits. Unfortunately the brisket on both dishes was a little dry from the heat lamp, but it had good flavor! The chai waffle was not crispy and seemed like it had been made hours ago. It just didn't have that chai pop I was expecting. Their sister restaurant that shares a space with them, half liter, looks really good and all the bbq items on the menu come from there. They have a great environment and a fire pit out back where we sat and finished our drinks after brunch. A more casual atmosphere, and it just smells amazing! read more

A great spot for brunch (also lunch and dinner) in the SoBro area. Menu has range from omelets, flapjacks, meaty treats, to baked goods. The Winter Farmers Market is housed in this space and several menu items boasted use of fresh local veggies or fresh bread. One of the things I appreciate most about Liter House is how spacious it is. Even if all of the tables are full, I don't feel like I'm sitting on top of the next person. There's room for wheelchair users to maneuver (and accessible entrances). I shared the poutine and was so happy with the flavor combinations. The food is German inspired, but has a lot of local and modern spin to it. Service was very nice, especially the host. I didn't catch his name but he was welcoming in a very genuine way. read more

Liter House - Poutine for brunch! - Caterers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We came to Liter's for both the Farmer's Market and Brunch. Unfortunately, I didn't confirm the Farmer's Market hours beforehand so I only had a few minutes to shop. Hopefully I can come back another day because there were some cool items here. One of today's brunch specials was based around the Broad Ripple's Farmer's Market which was a vegan special. There are several vegan and vegetarian options on Liter's menu. We arrived at Liter's before the rush and was seated quickly. Our server, Jordan, couldn't arrive quickly as she appeared to be tied up with a couple large tables. When she did arrive we found her to be friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The Bavarian inspired menu had many entrees and salads I'm looking forward to trying in the future. Today, we were here for their Saturday brunch. I ordered the Breakfast Brunch Basic with your choice of eggs, protein and toast. I tried the Smoked Pork Hash chopped and sauteed with onions, peppers and potatoes, topped with two scrambled eggs and Crystal hot sauce aioli and thick, hearty toast. The smoked pork was truly excellent and flavorful with large pieces of meat mixed in with the generous veggies. It is hard to find good hash and this certainly was one of the best I've had. I will order again. My husband ordered the Egg Sandwich with option of bacon or sausage on toast with scrambled eggs (his minus cheese) and served with a simple salad, fruit or diced potatoes (his choice). He noted the entire sandwich was bland and the sausage was mediocre. The potatoes were prepared well and he enjoyed a little more after seasoning. He wasn't terribly impressed with the sandwich and probably will not order again. The brunch menu has a nice variety with Ham & Grits, Salads, and several types of Waffles (Chicken & Waffle, Buttermilk Waffle and Meat, Waffle and Turchettis hot link and eggs or the every changing Jose's Waffle Special). I'm no expert on German food; I know what I like but want to try new things. They offer several sausages (bratwurst, bluwurst, currywurst), sauerkraut, schnitzels (pork, chicken or portabella) and several German specials. Of course you'll find all the drafts, ciders, seasonal and canned beers plus cocktails, spirits and wines. I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, my breakfast was fantastic and Jordan provided excellent service. I'm sure I'll be back for brunch and the Smoked Pork Hash. read more

This was another Devour Indy find for my friends and I (not a find, let's be honest - nothing about this was 'accidental'). As a vegetarian with picky tastebuds, I was nervous: would we have enough to enjoy? After all, I wouldn't say German cuisine is known for its particularly stellar vegetarian offerings. But Liter House is a worthwhile investment! The ambience is cute, inviting, and the staff match the vibe: fun, uplifting, and ready to chug a pint with you post-shift (that's speculation, but wouldn't that be amazing if it were true)? We ordered off the limited Devour Menu and were decently impressed - the pasta and pretzels are the showstoppers. Its handmade pasta at its fine, soft and supple and oh-so-comforting. And pretzels? A must at any German establishment: these are no different. I'd give the salad a try too- the perfect compliment to our hearty pasta, even despite a chilly fall evening! If anything, you can miss the desserts. They're nothing to write home about, and an ale or stout is a better use of your calories and your wallet. read more

I have seen this all over social media and finally got to go this week! Located in broadripple on Winthrop ave you can find liter house. Everyone there is very friendly when you first walk in, then you have plenty of places to sit, tables and booths. Each place as a neat little poster of a place in Europe, most of which I think are German. There are a lot of beer choices, which I'll have to go back and check out since I went during lunch, I think a lot of it is brewed onsite because you can look in the back and see that they have a lot of the large beer tanks. The menu is simple but delicious! I started with the spaten Mac and cheese, and it was just the right amount of food for an app. Then for the main course I had a delicious croc Misoure sandwich and it was delicious! It was on top of a pretzel! So that was different but good, it was the perfect combo of egg, ham, holidase sauce. Can't wait to go back have beer and more delicious food. read more

Since it is that time of year, we went to Liter House thinking that we would get some good beer and German food. Our waitress seemed new but was very helpful and willing to check on questions. No one was pleased with their food. It was ho hum. My husband got a smoke turkey leg that was really big. He said it was good but the plate was covered in potatoes and other things that he did not like and distracted from the beautiful turkey leg. Our friend ordered sauerbraten, it was like old roast beef with gravy over a bunch of potatoes. Looked as though they were covering up something. I had bratwurst. It was to come on a grilled bun. It looked as though it had been on the grill 1 minute. Not toasty as expected. I also ordered sauerkraut and onions. It was a big serving but was cold and dry. We ordered dessert. The dessert on the web indicates popsicle. There menu had not been updated. None were available. I order strawberry shortbread. Big mistake. The shortbread was huge but was covered in whipped cream, about 8 chucks of strawberry (at the most). We tried it here once before, it was just ok then. Our friends tried it once before and thought the same thing. This time we hoped it would be different. Instead it was "we are never coming back" It was that bad. And certainly not an inexpensive evening. read more

I went to Liter House with some girlfriends midweek. We made a reservation, although on that day it wasn't necessary. The place was very spacious, and the decor was modern. Before arriving, I made sure to check the website to see what the menu had to offer. I saw the drink specials for the day we're, $20 select wine bottles. When our waiter arrived, I simply asked what the drink specials were and he said they didn't really have drink specials. I politely said their website differs, and he came back and told us a bottle of Red was $20, so we agreed to that. I ordered the chicken and dumplings. Price was a little expensive for what it was, $16. My friend, who is on a no-carb diet, asked to sub her mashed potatoes for vegetables. The waiter said, they don't have vegetables. Which, I find hard to believe. Overall the experience was average. It could have just been out uninterested waiter. I'd likely go back, but I won't be frequenting. read more

Liter House gets an A for effort and execution this time around! My first visit was less than stellar. Second one, really good and third time (ok, to Half Liter but still...sorta all the same place?) was great! One of the owners reached out to me after my first slightly below average experience and offered me a gift card to come try LH again. I declined, but how about that for service? I knew I'd come back, but I wanted it to be on my own non-biased dime. I came during Devour Indy for my second visit. I sat at the bar and ordered the Impossible stew with kraut salat. Salad arrived quickly and it was a large portion. The underlying flavor was mild and delicious. I didn't really get the kraut reference, it was more of a slaw presentation but nonetheless it's still cabbage, with a very unique and delightful flavor. The stew was a special item for this promotion, but holy cow was it good! It so hit the spot on a cold evening. I loved it so much that I got an order to go to take to my Dad (who never realized it wasn't real beef). Apparently it was such a hit that I see it's now offered on their regular menu. The candy bar dessert was all I hoped and dreamed of; imagine salted chocolate with a layer of ooey-gooey carmel. I seriously wanted to eat the whole thing right there, but I did manage to exercise a bit of self-restraint and at least waited until I got home! My most recent visit (to Half Liter...I'll write the full review on their page) was so much fun! I've really got to give a shout out to the Sahm's for their stellar business representation in SoBro. I'll (clearly) be back! read more

Thank goodness they are open for breakfast! A family friendly restaurant with multiple spaces sits just south of Good Morning Mama's. We were a little worried as we drove by the packed GMM to find a large parking lot with ample available parking. Not very crowded, partly because I imagine not many know they are open for breakfast because if they did, they would be lining up. Starting off with coffee and tea there are also what appeared to be very nice Bloody Mary's (stacked with accoutrements!), mimosas, and beer options were being served all around us. We wanted to try various options so we went with the spicy shakshuka, the ham n' grits, the smoked brisket hash, and a waffle. The shakshuka was not the best I have had, Eggshell bistro in Carmel does it better when they do it. However, the grits were unbelievable and so was the smoked hash. All I could think about was how soon I could find a time to come back and try the BBQ at Half Liter. Forget those other breakfast places, Liter House has the traditional and the more exotic options. Looking forward to trying their lunch/dinner as well. Of places with communal tables, I am surprised Liter House is not one of them. Maybe they have a room outfitted like a German Beer Hall within that I did not see. Nevertheless, let's support this great local establishment. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place, but overall fairly positive. Location/atmosphere: love how it is conveniently located off the monon trail in a repurposed building. It really feels like one is stepping into a beer hall that is not like most of establishments in the indy area. Love the steins to drink the beer out of. Cool experience. Plenty of televisions if games are going on. Food: the appetizer fries were fantastic. The sauerkraut was delicious with great sourness and crunch to complement the saltiness and softness of the french fries. Overall, entrees were just mediocre. The sausages are flavorful and are local from smoking goose which is great but the prices for portions were subpar, and overall taste of sauces, flavorings were very basic. Drink: great beer, love the in house brewed German style beers, especially the German ipa. Service: our waiter was amazing, however, the chef seems to be kind of a butthole for lack of better term. My wife asked for one of their sandwiches with a brat instead of blutwerst (sp) and waiter assumed it would be no problem as it should be an easy substitution. 5 minutes later (after assuming a solid reaming from the chef) waiter came back out and looked shell shocked as he apologized about how the chef informed him this is not possible to do. He was very sweet and apologetic and could not help but to feel horrible for him as someone who used to wait tables myself. At the end of the meal he was very pleased that we liked our experience and he praised the quality of the restaurant, though was very carefully hinting at it's not a good place to work. So overall, if you see this chef, thankfully there are great waitstaff that will bring customers back. read more

Was looking forward to a Comedy show and BBQ buffet only to find out the menu had changed without any warning and replaced with a subpar taco bar. Imagine going to the show with the intentions of enjoying pulled pork, smoked wings and sausages only to be fed food that would make Taco Bell look like a 5 star restaurant. I had made some comments on their Facebook page only to have them deleted by management. One of the employees there C. Sahm tried to sweep this under the rug but I will not let this go. They needed to act with integrity and admit their fault instead of coming up with an array of excuses because they were afraid of their business being affected. They also said that BBQ was never promised and again deleted the posts showing the menu and another customer saying they expected BBQ as well and they don't get to get out much as well as their night being a disappointment. read more

The food here is so good I'm writing this review as I still sit in the restaurant amazed by the meal I just devoured. Went here for brunch on a whim after visiting the farmers market which is in the same building and I was not disappointed! The food was delicious and service was on point from start to finish. We got the Pimento Poutine and Beef hash. The portions were HUGE and the food was well seasoned. We've only lived in Broad Ripple for about 4 months, but we've been to many restaurants and Liter House is by far the best brunch in Indianapolis! Yes, it's that good. They've even got a few vegan options that sounded (and looked) delicious. You've gotta make it here for brunch. You won't be disappointed. read more

Liter House is my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. The quality of the food is consistent and I've never been disappointed. This is a great place to for Breakfast and Brunch. If you want a classic dish to start your experience here get an order of the Smoked Pork Hash. This is just one example of how flavorful the food is. My first experience with this restaurant was amazing and I keep going back for more. They have many beers on draft that should appeal to a variety of pallets. The pretzels are good. I have had the wings, I enjoyed them but they are not for everyone. The pretzels are a great appetizer. Another great dish for brunch is their chicken and waffles combo -- you can get it plain, but there is often a special. Liter House is a restaurant for someone that wants to be relaxed and eat without any pressure. read more

It's an intimate German restaurant with an incredible wait staff. On our latest visit, the devour Indy menu was in effect. Although the menu was small, it featured unique veggie treats and some award winning combinations. The spicy mustard served with the house made pretzels is just spicy enough. The brats are uniquely meaty and tasty. The vegan dishes are creative and filling. The beer is, well, the beer is very good. On our latest visit I ordered a craft cocktail that was bourbon based and I was not disappointed. The eggplant sandwich was over the top good. read more

Liter House was not what I expected. But it was delicious. We decided to go after driving around for a while and we remembered that we heard Liter House has some solid vegetarian dishes. When we got to Liter House, we were surprised to see a BBQ joint connected to it called Half Liter. It was intriguing, but we settled on our original choice. And I was super glad we did. Drinks! Since C isn't really into beers, when he takes me to breweries, it really is for me. I decided on their passion fruit Hefeweizen called Baewatch. I'm a sucker for sour beers and this didn't disappoint. It might be my new favorite beer, actually. We didn't see any of their soft drinks on the menu but they serve Pepsi products. Food! We wanted to try one of their appetizers and we landed on the Full Hand Fritters. The shredded beet patties were fried crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The "whipped feta" actually seemed more like feta crumbles, but it was still good. The frisée salad and shishito vinaigrette was fresh and nutty, but I don't think it paired well with the fritters. I liked them separately but not really together. That being said, the fritters were my favorite part of the meal. I probably should have just gotten this. C had the Ryman Sausage with a side of buttered spaetzle. He loved the spicy chicken sausage and proclaimed the spaetzle "the best I ever had". Which says a lot because he LOVES spaetzle. G had the special that night which was a gnocchi dish with a nettle cream sauce, diced bacon, and a roasted red pepper. She said the dish was super creamy, with a little kick from the pepper. E was basic and had the grilled cheese and a side of fruit. But hey, she's 6. I had the cheesy veg spaetzle. I got the half size and it was more than enough for me. I liked the flavors and the veggies were great. The only complaint I have was that it was served super hot. I couldn't eat it for a while. But when I could, it was basically spaetzle Alfredo. It was good, but didn't wow me. TL;DR: Liter House is a solid place for German-inspired food and beers. Get a mug of suds, some appetizers, and enjoy! read more

I finally made it to the Litre House over the weekend. I liked the atmosphere, and the staff is really friendly and helpful in going through the menu. My wife and I started out with the Haus platter which was excellent. We had it with the bratwurst worst and currywurst and both were very good. I ordered the pig cheek ragout which was good, but it is very rich. My wife had the pork schnitzel which was not as good. It seemed it was pounded so thin that there was little meat in it and it was very dry. They do have a good selection of beer from their own brewery. I will go back, but I think we will avoid the schnitzel. read more

We took our family to this restaurant and had a great experience. As someone with limited exposure to German food, I asked a lot of questions. Our server was knowledgeable and very patient with me. They had a gluten-free menu for me, which was great. I had the Eggplant Schnitzel (GF) and enjoyed it. Our family enjoyed a wide variety of foods from the dumplings to the quail and the macaroni and cheese (kids menu). It is definitely a unique experience. The decor and atmosphere were inviting in this hidden gem. If you like German food and are looking for an adventure, you've gotta go! read more

German food with a modern touch. Had dinner here twice now, and so far both times have been very enjoyable. Food is great from appetizers to entree up to dessert, large serving portion, and great beer selection as expected. read more

FIRST REVIEW IN A LONG TIME goes to a much deserving meal I had with my fiancé & our daughter a few weeks ago. We'd never been to Liter House but my sister-in-law has talked about how amazing it is and I couldn't agree more! Great vibes, even better food! Connected to Half Liter which is more brewhouse vibes (will be trying that soon). Highly recommend if you're ever in the area or if they have any special menus read more

Love the interior industrial decor of this place. They offer plenty of various comfort foods such as burgers, build-your-own wurst, wings, poutine, hot pretzels and cheese, etc. Of course, they also offer a nice list of beers and other drinks. I want to come back and try their brunch, as the menu offerings for it looked amazing. This place is family friendly and has a parking lot, making it easy to bring the whole family or your group of friends! read more

Now this place is great! For starters - it's really nice to have an alternative to the Rathskeller. Although this isn't exactly "German", it certainly fills a need we have in Indy! I'm just going to say I'm sorry now for eating the Kraut balls without taking a pic, lol! But I'm telling you they were delicious! I chose the meat vs potato, and couldn't have been happier! I started with a Liter (kind of have too, ha) of Kitt Bier! Excellent! Then the main course came. I had the Pork Schnitzel. It was huge! Two pieces. Red eye gravy and an egg. Then it all was sitting in top of cheesy grits - all done to perfection! The pork was tender and breaded just enough to make you want the next bite, even though you are so full that you shouldn't...but you do! Then, our server, Savannah, brings out the dreaded yet always welcome dessert menu! Yes, even though I couldn't muster up enough energy to finish my meal or room for dessert, I still had the donuts. The coconut cream sauce along side the cinnamon sugar, apple filled donuts was the perfect way to finish off the meal! Again, apologies for not taking a pic before they were devoured! I guess for the pictures that I didn't take, I will have to just go back and order more of the same again! Don't miss out on this place! You won't be disappointed at all! read more

Warning for Sundays Only... Brunch until 3pm. From 3pm to 4pm Sundays only, you can only order appetizers while they switch to the dinner menu. Had a beer an a pretzel, were to hungry to wait an hour until 4, then I'm guess there would have been an additional wait for food to get all the orders from people wait for the main menu. So we left as we were really hungry. Can see this being an issue I have been informed by the owner that I should have called to make sure they were serving food at this restaurant??? I have also be shamed for my rating. my rating was a 3, has been down graded to a 1, I have posted his message in photos. Have now heard from other yelps that he attacks people for less than perfect reviews.., Bring it Sham... read more
