New York Breakfast

My work besties and I stopped here at the beginning of the month for our once-a-week "lunch tour" as we call it. It was my birthday week, so I got to pick where we went and I chose New York Breakfast because I much prefer breakfast over lunch, it was in an area we had never visited together, and we didn't have to pay for parking. When we got there, there was only one other woman waiting for a to-go order, so we looked over the menu and were able to order pretty quickly. I got the French toast combo breakfast with bacon and over-easy eggs. One friend got the Michigan Road Omelette without avocado and subbed mushrooms after they said that only 3 of their omelettes came with cheese. My last friend also got a Michigan Road Omelette and subbed the avocado for onions or tomatoes (can't remember which). I had also gotten a coffee and it was filled only 3 times during our 2 hour stay, which was frustrating. Waters were not ever refilled. And it wasn't because they were busy- we were the only people there the duration of our stay after the woman got her to-go order and left. The mushrooms in the omelette were very slimy and had to be picked out and the food was just overall very bland. I had almost ordered chilaquiles because I get that everywhere that has it on the menu, but since it was my birthday week I decided to get French toast and ended up wishing I hadn't. I'm thinking that they must have better food for lunch vs breakfast because you can get better breakfast/diner fare at a Waffle House. The inside was clean, but very cold because of all the glass windows right next to the tables. Decorations are just touristy New York prints and wall art that didn't make me feel like I was in a New York diner at all. We all felt it was weird to be the only customers there from late morning to early afternoon when they are only open 7-2:30. Maybe they get a morning rush of customers on their way to work? Contemplated giving only 3 stars, but staff were nice and I think I would still come back to try the chilaquiles or something from their lunch menu to give it another chance. read more

I've passed by this place a few times and thought I'd drop in, it was a quick meal while running errands. Service was friendly but communicating my order was rough because there was a language barrier. She ended up getting my order wrong and had to re-take the order and that part did take some time. I ordered the veggie omelette plate with toast, hash browns and Turkey sausage. The hash browns and sausage were overcooked and the omelette was just okay. I asked for hot sauce but never got it and the ketchup had an odd taste. read more

While this little cafe is filled with New York decor, the food is definitely midwestern with hints of Mexican. We stopped in for a late breakfast. Several regulars were waiting for to-go orders. We ordered and paid at a counter surrounded by replicas of the Statue of Liberty. The clerk was friendly and accommodating. I wanted a breakfast burrito, which wasn't on the menu and she said sure. Then we found a seat. The dining room is clean with a tv monitor. Prints of iconic New York sites fill the walls. My husband had an omelette. The omelettes are not traditional light and fluffy, but large flat with lots of cheese, typical of New York. The toast came with assorted jellies. The hash brown potatoes were cooked pretty crispy. The meal was large for the price. My burrito was made on a whole wheat wrapper per my request. The burrito was large filled with egg, potatoes and sausage. In retrospect, I wish I had requested bacon and cheese. Nevertheless, good burrito (I took half home for another meal). There is plenty of parking in the private lot. Exiting north onto Michigan Road was challenging, like a game of Frogger. All in all, great breakfast that doesn't break the bank. read more

I didn't know about place, but on my way home back from Broad Ripple I found it. I love trying breakfast places that are not a chain, so I decided to get something here. The building at a busy intersection and it isn't big. It had New York City themed decor inside. The menu had a variety. I chose ham omelette with hash brown patties w/ toasts. It took about ten minutes. It was for take out and they put everything in one container which I liked (instead of putting each item in individual container creating more waste) The omelette had a lot of cheese inside and was yummy. Two slices of toasts came with jelly.i think it is a great value considering the price and convenience. Staff were smiley and friendly. I'll definitely return. read more

Very good family ran business. We were asked if we were dining in or to go. We were dining in. They had us pick a seat and they took our order at the table. Teas were refilled and the food was very good. I got the pancake breakfast with 2 pancakes , 2 eggs scrambled and bacon. The pancakes were fluffy and had a slight cinnamon flavor. Bacon was well cooked and the scrambled eggs were good. Husband got the FrenchToast breakfast with eggs fried and bacon. He really liked it all. Interior was clean and the decor was minimal. What they had was a nod to NY City. Parking is ample off Michigan Rd. Handicapped accessible ramp in the middle of the small plaza with 2 handicapped parking spots. We will be back. Show a local business some love by going and checking them out. read more

Have had breakfast twice and both times hit the mark. Its small and cozy inside. When you enter it was obvious to walk up to the counter to order. They have printed menus which i like vs a menu board. I didn't take a photo of the menu but from memory they have the typical breakfast favs: omellettes, pancakes, waffle, french toast. The first time I went with the mexican classic chilquiles.. they even let me do half red sauce and half green. They suggest you add an egg or chicken.. so I went with chicken. Very tasty. Hubby had some sort of breakfast platter (don't exactly remember the name) he had eggs, home fries, bacon and toast. He was happy with it all. Oh and even though you order at the counter they bring everything to you. Coffee and meal - and check back and give you refills - attentive service! read more

An excellent new breakfast and lunch restaurant in an area where it was definitely needed. Enjoyed lunch here with a friend, and between us we ordered several menu items. The pancakes were excellent! I'm very picky about pancakes and these were perfect. My eggs were cooked perfectly to my order. The breakfast potatoes were wonderful too. French toast was very good as well. My friend enjoyed her veggie wrap. Everything was made fresh with quality ingredients. The restaurant is very attractive, with tables and booths, and a few high tops. It is attractively decorated with New York themed items and pictures. Employees were extremely friendly. Everything was spotlessly clean. Breakfast is served all hours. Five enthusiastic stars! read more

Fantastic little spot for a no frills yummy breakfast!! Highly recommend the golden pancakes. I'm super picky and these were light and fluffy with plenty of flavor. Im also picky about my coffee and there's was worthy of the New York name (where you can go to any corner store and get a great cup of coffee). For my order I stuck with the basics...eggs, bacon and hash browns with a pancake ala carte. Added sliced avocado since I saw that was an option on omelettes. You order at the counter and then sit. The servers were awesome and answered all my questions. Everything was clean but it definitely gives a hole in the wall, corner bodega vibe. read more

I was really looking forward to checking out a new breakfast spot, unfortunately it was rather disappointing. I generally don't care much having to order at the counter, pay and tip before I get any service. So I stand at the counter trying to make a quick decision since the menu does have a lot of options. I decided on some coffee and a bacon omelet platter. I have to say the coffee was great and someone came from behind the counter to refill it occasionally. The platter consisted of the flattest omelet I have ever seen. There was some bacon bits in it and you could see the square slice of cheese stuck into the fold of the omelet. If the entire thing was 1/4 inch high I'd be surprised. Tasted meh at best. I chose fried potatoes, probably should have gone with the hash browns. So the potatoes are the small cubed kind, which I like. However, most were still raw on the inside and were coated with some sort of tomato based sauce. Not really saucy, but definitely coated, yet still dry and fairly tasteless. You get a choice of white or wheat toast. Mine was very dark, borderline burned and had to ask a few times for jelly to go with it. Ambiance not so much. It could be cute, but when you consider the rolled up carpet standing next to the entrance, the fake plants with the price tags still attached to them and the stacked patio furniture in the corner by the bathroom... it's a no for me. The prices would be ok for good food, but this experience just wasn't worth it. read more

So happy to see a restaurant pop up close to home! New York Breakfast serves both breakfast and lunch and has a wide menu. Prices are reasonable, portions are large. I had the breakfast sandwich on a nice, shiny soft bun, and my hubby had the green chili chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. I also had a rich tasting hot chocolate. Appears to be family owned, we will be back. read more

When we heard a new breakfast spot was opening just around the corner, we knew we had to check it out. After chatting with one of the owners, Ida, she shared that her family made the journey from Mexico to New York, and New York Breakfast is a tribute to the little restaurant near her grandparents' home--an homage filled with love, flavor, and sentiment. Now, about the food...The bacon was smoky and downright delicious, the eggs cooked to perfection, and the coffee--rich, bold, and exactly how I like it. But the home fries were a game-changer, perfectly seasoned with red and green peppers, onions, and bacon--hands down the best I've ever had. Naturally, we added cheese because, well, cheese. They have a wide assortment of menu options beyond breakfast that look SO GOOD! And the prices? Unbelievably reasonable. If you're nearby, you've got to give it a try! I can't find socials yet to tag, but they're located at: 5620 Michigan Rd Suite C Indianapolis, IN 46228. Phone: 317-755-2272 New York Breakfast (317) 755-2272 https://g.co/kgs/h3CEKLv read more

I've eaten here many times since this place first opened. I would really like to have a great breakfast place walking distance from my house. I want this place to succeed. I don't think it will though. Just ask for scrambled eggs and you'll know why. If you ask for scrambled eggs, you'll get an omelette. If you emphasize that you want scrambled eggs...NOT an omelette...they'll serve you an omelette that's been cut up and put into a pile on your plate. When I show the pile of cut up omelette to the lady at the counter, I'm afraid things just get lost in translation...at best. At worst, she really doesn't care and just wants the complaining customer to leave already. I'm frustrated. I want this place to do well. It really could do so much better...especially since there are no good places to eat in the immediate vicinity of Kessler/56th and Michigan Rd. When I first ate here, I gave it a four-star review. After eating here many times, I took down my review, but didn't immediately replace it because I didn't want to hurt the business with an unfavorable review. After my experience today, I'm finally giving it a generous two-star review. Scrambled eggs isn't the only issue I've had with this place. I really could go on. If it would make any difference...if I thought management would actually listen, take the criticism, and improve things to their benefit and the benefit of the customer...then I would go on. I'd make a list. But they won't. Instead, they'll continue to serve the same low-quality, tired breakfast, from the same tired menu. They'll keep serving chopped up omelette instead of scrambled eggs. They'll continue opening their doors too late into the morning...passing up on those customers that will instead order a crap breakfast from McDonalds. They'll continue putting in their display counter the processed, boxed, cherry pies that you can get at the check-out aisle at Walmart or your local gas station...instead of putting something in the display counter made from scratch that looks delicious. Other than the name on the facade and a poster of the Statue of Liberty, there isn't anything about this place that conjures a good, authentic New York breakfast experience. It's just another crappy Indianapolis breakfast place. read more

I was really pleased with the service that I received. The menu had a mixture of American comfort food as well as classic Southern dishes. I took several glances at the food other were ordering and they all looked so appealing and appetizing. I decided to order something that I haven't tried anywhere else, so I ordered the Southern Shakshuka, which is their own unique spin-off to the original.

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.

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.

We were looking for a good place near the convention center and stumbled here. It's a regional…read more'chain' in 4 cities in the U.S. The inside (especially the line of small tables for two) reminded me of an egg carton. 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!

I was a disappointed by this restaurant…read more For context, I got an egg white breakfast sandwich and they cooked the avocado into the egg and it was really disgusting. I also got a side of egg whites, but they were cooked in that butter spray and didn't taste fresh. The cheesy grits were OK but not very flavorful. I also got a Matcha, but it was pretty watery about a two out of five stars. I will note that the service was good and the staff was friendly.

The restaurant features an extensive drink menu that will suite anyone's pallet. We chose to start with the bread service which was killer especially the honey butter. All of the apps look d amazing but went for the dry rub duck wings with home made ranch. My only critic was I wish there were more than 3. Finished off with the shrimp and grits. Although, I wasn't in New Orleans the spiciness took me back there. The wait staff was great. Even though we were late for the reservation we were seated promptly and had multiple people taking care of us. Spoke & Steele is a must if you are staying in the hotel but also if you want a cool vibe for drinks and great food I would stop by and take a look.

There's brunch... and then there's Spoke & Steele brunch!!!…read moreFrom the moment you walk in, the vibe is giving cozy, elevated, and just the right amount of "I deserve to be here." The seating? Intimate. The lighting? Soft. The whole space feels like a quiet luxury moment tucked right into the city. Now let's talk about what REALLY matters, the food. The shrimp & grits??? Listen... this wasn't just a dish, this was an EXPERIENCE. The grits were creamy, smooth, and perfectly rich, but that sauce layered on top?? Whew. Flavor on flavor on flavor. You've got that deep, savory, slightly smoky profile with juicy shrimp, sausage, and those pickled onions cutting through everything with the perfect tang. Every bite felt intentional. Like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. And can we talk about how beautiful it was plated?? Because yes, I absolutely appreciated the aesthetics before I even picked up my fork. Paired it with a simple coffee moment, sitting by the window, and honestly... it felt like a reset. Not rushed, not loud, just good food, good atmosphere, and a chance to actually enjoy it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that feels a little more elevated, a little more intentional, and delivers on both flavor and experience. This is it. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back!!!

Bluebeard

FLAVORFUL RESTAURANT IN A HIP PART OF INDY…read more======================================== My daughter-in-law recommended Bluebeard for dinner on Monday, June 22, 2026. I would have to say this restaurant is my favorite in Indy right now after one meal. Most of the things we shared were amazing and for a complete description please refer to my photo of the menu. We ordered the following: Burrata with Amelia's bread as an appetizer which was delicious. Gem Salad - This was amazing and I could eat it every day of the week. 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.

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.

The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

My husband and I had never been here before and the lady at the counter was less than friendly. She did tell us the menu was on the other wall. My husband got a Diet Coke that came in a can and we both got a classic plate minus the toast. 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties... nothing special including the presentation. The price for each plate was $18 plus a $2 can of coke and a tip they didn't deserve brought our total to a little over $40. The eggs were flavorless and literally had no seasoning. I did appreciate that the sausage patties weren't greasy. That was about the only good thing. The decor looked like they took whatever thrift stores couldn't sell with no particular theme. Funny enough, we went out for breakfast a few days later to a DIFFERENT PLACE and for the SAME PRICE got way more food, better quality food, better presentation, full table service, friendly service, great atmosphere, and an overall wonderful experience. Overall, I would not recommend this place. We left feeling like we got ripped off and I could have made the same thing better at home.

I happened to visit on a warmer day so I was able to see the space with the garage door open. It was golden hour and it had everything all lit up. Very beautiful. Our service was amazing, couldn't have asked for a better server. I can't remember her name but she was so detailed in her descriptions, thoughtful with her suggestions, and had the perfect amount of attentiveness. Now on to the fun parts.... Drinks were a hit! We told our server what we like and they recommended a couple options. I again can't remember the exact name of the drink but mine was a gin cocktail. I'll attach some photos for you. As for the food, every bite I took was delicious. Our table shared the fried brussel sprouts and the ginger miso salad. A very lovely way to ease into our meal on a lighter note. They split up the salad onto two plates for us, which was sweet of them. The portion was pretty good for a $12 salad. Very refreshing. Brussel sprouts were absolutely fire. Get them! Along with that, I also ordered the tempura shrimp maki roll. Inside the roll was cucumber and avocado with giant tempura shrimp right on top, drizzled in spicy mayo. The presentation was cool, a slightly deconstructed version of what I would get somewhere else. There wasn't a single bite left on the plate. I would order all three of these dishes again in a heartbeat. Perfect for a date night or special occasion, but also works for just grabbing a bite with friends. Whenever I find myself back in Indy, Modita will be on my list.

This is my wife and I's favorite restaurant in all of Indy. We were lucky to visit last night, and…read morestill great as always. We had a reservation at 6:45, and were sat shortly after that time. The place was busy for a Friday night, and was somewhat loud. Our waitress greeted us quickly, and was on top of things throughout the night. I started off with a ginger miso salad, based on recommendations on this page. Personally, I could have went without the $12 salad. I would have paid more like $6 for the amount of actual salad I got. The dressing was good, but nothing extraordinary. I did ask for no cucumbers- I could taste a faint taste of cucumbers on the salad, so think they just took them off after they were already placed. We split some Bao Buns. These were the highlight of the show. The pork on them was thick, the slaw was fresh, and the bao bun itself was fluffy. We split two dishes for dinner- the short rib and the chicken udon noodles. The chicken udon noodles were fantastic- packed full of flavor and tons of toppings in it. The short rib fell a little short of my expectations, but I had high expectations to begin with. We have had the short rib multiple times in the past- and normally it is a hunk of meat, similar to a roast. Now, it is strips of tiny pieces of meat with a bone attached to it. If the owner/general manager is reading this- GO BACK TO THE ROAST STYLE- the strips of meat was too much work to eat. Still packed full of great flavor though. I had the bridge to Anshun for my drink. I had never had Baiju before, but glad I tried it. It was a tangy drink that was also sweet- would say it's a must try. Overall, some changes since our last visit that weren't expected, but overall had a great evening here. Can't wait to return.

In town on family business, for a couple of days, I was looking for someplace interesting for…read moredinner on a Wednesday evening. It had been before the pandemic since my last time in Indianapolis and much has changed on the city's dining and drinking landscape. Following a recommendation from a bartender at Sundry & Vice, I made my way to BODHI. I didn't have reservations, which I'd strongly recommend, since the place was packed on Wednesday night before 6PM. Fortunately, I was able to snag a seat at the bar, which was ideal since I was dining solo. Upon scanning the hip, high-energy, yet petite dining room, I had a sense of deja vu about it before realizing that I had been in this space before back when it was Black Market. I started off with a cocktail from Bodhi's intriguing and expansive drink list, a 7 Realms of Happiness, made with Old Hamer Bourbon, Faccia Brutto Centerbe, Cappelletti amaro, saffron honey, and lemon. My thought was that it's their twist on a classic Whiskey Smash. It was bittersweet, yet balanced, and simply a delight. As for the food, BODHI's menu is concise hitting the most of the Thai food usual suspects. I had the Papaya Salad and the Shrimp Green Curry. The papaya salad came out first. I was pleasantly surprised by its plating, looking much more like an elaborate entree with its cashews, watermelon radish, and chicharrones than the humble side salad atop a leaf of lettuce or cabbage that I've usually received at virtually every Thai restaurant I've ever been. It was just a pretty plate as it tasted even better than it looked. It was fresh and flavorful as those flavors popped from the perfect balance of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and funky. It was the best rendition of a papaya salad that I've tasted. My bowl of curry was no less successful in balancing those diverse Thai flavor profiles. Unlike some/many other curries I've had where it seems like a bowl full of sauce with bits and pieces of protein or vegetables, Bodhi's rendition achieved the perfect "solids to sauce" ratio. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the curry itself was bold and bright on my tongue. It was a delicious spoonful. I loved it! For "dessert", I had a second cocktail, the Garnet, a booze-forward whisky drink made with Mars Iwai Tradition, Pinhook Rye, Akashi Ume Plum whisky, Veda Mushroom Liqueur, Balsamic Vermouth, celery & orange bitters, and topped with a Moon Smoke Bubble. It was very unique, tasty and satisfying, if not a bit difficult to describe. I would maybe compare it to an Asian-influenced Vieux Carre and I thought it was excellent. Service from Carli, the bartender, was stellar throughout my night as she was friendly, helpful and exceedingly outstanding in making my drinks. A definite rock star! BODHI was outstanding. I'm not sure how to best describe the place. Was it as an amazing Thai restaurant that also does incredible cocktails or an amazing cocktail bar that also does killer Thai food? Regardless, I could not have enjoyed my experience more. If/when I'm back in Indy, BODHI is at the top of my list for a visit!

Seemed to be over-proofed. The cornbread was absolutely phenomenal and a must-have! A special shoutout to our waitress, Arya, who noticed our disappointment with the focaccia and generously brought us the cornbread on the house. That kind of service is truly memorable! I also had the beets and peaches salad, which was refreshing but a tad overdressed. Still, I couldn't resist finishing the entire dish. For my main course, I ordered the lasagna, and I can confidently say it was one of the best I've ever had. It wasn't overloaded with cheese and instead complemented by mushrooms and pesto, and surprisingly light on the stomach. My husband chose the filet and rated it an 8/10, saying he thoroughly enjoyed it. We were so full by the end that we skipped dessert. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful, and the staff was incredibly attentive throughout our meal. The only downside was the atmosphere; coming from Chicago, we expected a more bustling vibe on a Thursday night. It seems Indianapolis is a bit quieter during the week. Overall, we had a delightful dining experience, and hats off to Arya for her exceptional service!
