    Cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an over easy egg
    Sarah M.

    Stopped in here for brunch this past Sunday with my husband because we had been wanting to try it out for a while and had mixed feelings. We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!

    Im 55. I really shouldnt be eating this kind of food anymore but every now and then you have to treat yourself and be naughty. This is a good spot to do that. I got the country breakfast which was fried chicken and gravy with biscuit and eggs. Heavy. Rich. Delicious on a cold winter day. Wouldnt recommend when its 90 degrees out in Summer =) Self serve drip coffee means you never run dry. People are nice and friendly. Its a hip little spot near the top end of Mass Ave. I probably wont be a regular for health reasons but I liked it !

    Biscuits and sausage gravy needed
    Emily H.

    Love handle is delish! Service is fast casual - order at the counter then find a seat. There are standard offerings as well as some great specials. The biscuits and sausage gravy needed more sausage, but everything else exceeded expectations. This may be my current favorite chicken sandwich in the city! The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with a spicy mayo, cheese, and pickled jalepenos. Can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu!

    We weren't greeted when we walked in but was greeted when placing our order. With it being my first time here, I was somewhat confused. The menu is on the wall. You place your order at the counter then they will bring out your food once you find a table. The potatoes weren't really good. The food was hot and it didn't take too long to cook. There was an old western movie playing on the projector.

    This is such a cute place. Very nostalgic. There are tons of pictures on the wall along with VHS tapes that gave a cool feel. This is located right on Mass Ave so parking can be tricky. There is street parking and there is a garage about a block away. When you walk in, to order you have to go to the front register. The menu is on the wall to the left and it changes weekly, from my understanding. Coffee and water is self serve but they have other drinks in a fridge. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was sooo delicious. The chicken piece was huge and i love the jalapenos and spicy sauce. The fries were perfectly crispy, yet soft. All condiments are at the tables and you get a number once you place your order and they will bring it to you. Tables are first come, first serve. The portions are extremely plentiful and I will be back for more.

    Cozy breakfast/brunch spot located in the Mass Ave area of Indianapolis (near or technically in the downtown area?). The service style here is fast casual where you order at the counter and they bring you your order when it's ready. The menu has a pretty good variety and seems to focus on comfort foods. I'm a tourist, but I don't think I would be wrong if I said that the focus is Midwest comfort classics. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with coffee. I love that you get to pick your mug that they have sitting next to the counter to fill your coffee with. The biscuits and gravy were decadent and delicious. Eating here reminds me of having breakfast at one of my best friend's house back in high school. I mean his house was decorated very similarly. And his mom would make us waffle. I'm a big fan of this place, especially since it won't break the bank and you're in and out pretty quickly all the while getting delicious food.

    Waffle, Egg, and Brisket with self-serve Tinker coffee
    Sam B.

    Elevated brunch food combined with a basic greasy spoon diner. I wasn't quite sure what to make of this place at first. You order at the register, there's a big old-school menu board on the wall awkwardly off to the side, you can't get your eggs poached, and the only coffee available is self-serve drip coffee. But don't let that basic diner vibe fool you. The decor is kitschy vintage thrift store. The food is definitely better than what you get at a basic diner. I had the waffle, eggs, and brisket. The scrambled eggs were okay, the waffle was good, and the slices of brisket were superb. (And this is coming from a Texan who loves his brisket.) The coffee is from local roaster, Tinker Coffee. Overall, I recommend this place and would eat here again.

    Biscuits & gravy with pork belly as a meat option.

    Great little brunch spot with mimosa and movies on Saturday mornings. Revisited for Mother's Day and they expanded their hours and menu! They have an evening menu on Friday & Saturday that includes some interesting selections like Poutine. They still play old classic movies like "Mrs. Doubtfire". They have expanded their selection of beverages. I can't wait to try them again in the evenings.

    Country breakfast with chicken enough
    Corey S.

    This is a great breakfast/brunch spot on Mass Ave! It has been around for a while but I just got around to trying it, and regret not going sooner! Went for a breakfast and could not recommend the country breakfast with chicken enough! Excited to go back to this laid back spot to have some more of the menu!

    Came here on a Sunday morning and they seemed like they were still recovering from the Saturday rush after pride. We just ordered the pork belly breakfast sandwich and side of fries. We sat there as others got their order. It's a place where you order first then sit and they bring it to you. The people next to us came after us and got their food. After around 26 mins from ordering we went to ask and they seemed to have just forgotten about us. Once they realized they were very nice and apologized for the delay our food came out immediately after, and it tasted really good! A few bites into the fries and I found a hair. I went up and they offered to remake it but I just wanted to leave at this point. They were very friendly and the ambulance is modern with a little hipster. I think they deserve a second chance but just a really bad first experience, they refunded partially which I appreciated!

    Waffle, meat, & egg (fried chicken)
    Kate D.

    Came in for a Saturday brunch with a couple of friends. When we arrived at 10am, there were only two other tables taken, but the place quickly filled up. When you first walk in, it is a little hard to find the menu, as it's hidden behind a drink cooler. I ordered the Waffle, Meat, and Egg, with fried chicken for my meat, and a coffee. The coffee bar is self serve, with refills on the actual coffee at the counter. On the coffee bar, there is also self serve water. The food came out rather quickly. The waffle and egg were what you would expect. The fried chicken was the stand out with a great crispy flavor. I thought the menu said this was served with hot honey, but I got like a chili butter sauce? I don't know, it was just okay and I opted for syrup.

    Bodega breakfast sandwich with pork belly and apple butter

    Straight from my picky husband's mouth "one of the best breakfast spots I've tried in Indy." We loved this place. I love the funky food combinations that you don't typically get elsewhere and the constant rotating menu. This had been on my "to try" list forever and I'm so happy I finally had the opportunity to go. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table, service was pretty fast. Such a cute spot, warm, cozy, nostalgic, and so much to look at.

    Singular lump of overcooked "scrambled" egg.

    This place has a fun kitschy "crappy diner" vibe and we've wanted to check it out for a while now. We were so disappointed. Scrambled eggs were cooked on a used pan (assuming due to black bits throughout), overdone, and not even scrambled. "Toast" was cooked on one side only. Waffle was served with pepper jelly (?!) in the butter- bizarre and not advertised. Either this was an off day or they really lean into the crappy diner thing. None of this would have been quite so irritating if we hadn't been charged nearly $80 for three shitty meals. For $80, we'd rather go somewhere nice.

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.

No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

Stacci house made pasta - This was a big hit and I would order this every time. Hanger Steak - My husband, aka the picky eater, loved it. I didn't try it, but everyone seemed to like it. Chicken with a few dumplings - We all loved this. Three desserts to share: a cheesecake with fruit on top, one a bread pudding and a chocolate crisp. I ordered a delicious Monsoon Season cocktail with song cai vietnamese gin, cocchi americano, st. george thai basil eau de vie, elderflower, lemon and basil oil. My son and I also ordered glasses of Port after dinner. The service was great and I loved that they were playing really good rock music like Soundgarden and others. There are lots of antique typewriters above the bar and a cool print of Kurt Vonnegut by the bathrooms. I am looking forward to going again the next time my husband and I are in Indy visiting my son and daughter-in-law unless they move out of state.

    Bluebeard was my pick for my birthday dinner and for good reason. The restaurant has a laid back…read moreand quirky vibe and is literary themed. Themed around Indy native Kurt Vonnegut, you'll see old typewriters, books, and names of menu items paying tribute to the famous author. The menu feels high class but the atmosphere and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. You could dress up for a special occasion or come in casual every day wear and either fit in just fine. Their ever changing menu featuring local produce and meats is always unique, inventive, and most importantly, delicious. Their cocktail list is one of the best and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an extensive mocktail list as well. Their sodas and syrups are all house-made which means every drink is full of fresh flavors. I had a lemon pasta dish an my husband ordered the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and composed of flavors and textures that complimented each other perfectly. There's nothing that wouldn't be good on their menu because you can tell the chefs are exceptional as well as the ingredients they choose. I really can't say enough good things about this place, it remains one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal and no matter what I choose, I'm never disappointed.

    We tried the Shadow Bloom and Fairy Confection iced lattes, and both were just as delicious as they…read morewere beautiful. The Shadow Bloom featured a gorgeous blackberry cold foam topped with an adorable purple butterfly, while the Fairy Confection was finished with coconut around the rim, giving it the look of fairy dust--such a thoughtful touch! The attention to detail in every drink was incredible. The service was exceptional, and the space itself was absolutely breathtaking, filled with lush plants and stunning décor around every corner. "Coffee Til Cocktails" truly lives up to its name, with alcoholic versions of many drinks available and the atmosphere transitioning into more of a cocktail bar in the evenings. I'm so glad I finally got the chance to visit this spot and already can't wait to come back!

    Coffee til cocktails and an immaculate ambience, it's every Yelper's dream!…read more I have been wanting to visit Parlor Public House for a while so I'm glad I finally made it. I tried the Space Cowboy, which was a coffee and hojicha drink with some of the chai masala spices and cookie butter. It is in fact as heavenly as it sounds. The flavors blend really well and holds up as the ice melts. Ambiance wise, there's a patio and lots of indoor seating. There's a mix of couches and tables, and quite a few areas where one could work on their laptop. A note on that: they actually have a policy of no laptops after around 5 pm, when they switch over to cocktails. Parking wise, there's about six spaces on the property, but there's more parallel parking that's available on Ohio Street.
