I've been a fan of Northside Social for years now, but recently had an opportunity to give their lunchtime sister-store, Northside Kitchenette, a try. This place opens up for breakfast and lunch whereas Northside Social is open for dinner only. We arrived about 11:15 and there were just a few other people inside. By the time we left, 45 minutes later, they were much busier. This should be where you tell yourself to arrive about 11:15 if you want the place to yourself. Lunchtime menu consists of salads, sandwiches and soups. I chose a combo chicken basil sandwich (half) with a house salad for $11. The sandwich seemed a lot bigger than a half to me and was quite tasty, although I could have done with less oil on the bread. To be fair though, I say this a lot. Salad was fairly basic with their house vinaigrette, but I really enjoyed it too. In addition to the lunchtime menu, you can get breakfast anytime. They also offer desserts, which seemed a little on the expensive side to me ($10 for a slice of coconut cake) but reading the description, I might have paid it. Apparently others do because they're still selling them for that price. Bottom line, this is a super cute place to grab your morning cup of joe and a cinnamon roll or a place to sit down and have a great lunch. read more

Checked out this place around 11am on a Sunday. It was very busy but that didn't impact the service or quality at all. We were promptly seated, greeted, and drink orders returned within 10-15 mins of walking in. Our food was out within 15 mins of ordering. I picked bacon, fruit, and 1/2 biscuits and gravy from the al la carte. The bacon initially looked more chewy than crunchy, but after biting in I was happy. The slices were thick cut and had the perfect amount of crunch without tasting burnt. The biscuits were dry enough to soak up some gravy but very soft inside. I would definitively recommend. The fruit cup included grapes, berries, and pineapple. It tastes fresh like it had been cut and combined that morning. Bonus points- the waitress was friendly, prompt, and did not seem bothered when we asked for to go coffee also on our way out. read more

Northside Kitchenette - Kickin' Eggs Benedict - Soup Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I had my first meal here today and as I expected from this family of restaurants, was extremely impressed. I have a dairy allergy and am a bodybuilder so I am extremely careful with my nutrition, but our server Amanda was more than happy to accommodate! I split a Rueben with my room mate (minus cheese and thousand for me) on unbuttered toasted sourdough. DELICIOUS. The fermenti kraut was delicious, the meat lean and not overly salty, and the added touch was the house made pickle. I could have ate ten of them. The fruit salad which I ordered instead of fries was fresh seasonal fruit, yum! I also built my own salad of baby greens, red onion, fresh strawberries, and the most delicious candied pecans. I had the lemon honey vinaigrette on the side and it was delicious and went so far I only had to use half. I ate the salad so fast it never made it into a picture! My room mate loved the spicy Bloody Mary and the peroni beer. He build his own salad with spinach, bacon, red onion, and amazing marinated sliced portobello mushrooms, with the green goddess dressing. He said it was excellent. Coffee was great and the tropical green iced tea was unsweetened and I loved it! Overall and excellent experience I can't wait to repeat. Thank you Amanda and all the staff at the Northside Kitchenette for making my Sunday! read more

Eggs seriously undercooked. Way too runny....not per my order. Spicing on the breakfast potatoes (chili powder?) just doesnt taste good. Toast arrived with essentially no butter. I was given frozen cubes of butter to remedy the situation. Frozen butter on cold toast doesnt work. Ham was good; o.j. was good. Waitress noticed my food was uneaten but didnt inquire why. I will try this place one more time. It seems to have potential and other people really like it. read more

I went into this place with high expectations and I shouldn't have. Although the atmosphere and the Decour is amazing the service was very lackluster. The food although subpar was good nonetheless. I ordered the kitchen sink, and was able to easily share it with a friend. The gravy has just the right amount of spice and flavor. The cinnamon roll was just okay, not served warm and gooey like most I have had, and if you like cream cheese icing then I'm sure you'll love it. I was mostly disappointed in our server due to the lack of enthusiasm and sense of urgency. As a table, we had to Remind our server to take our orders, request our bills, ask for refills, and once we had given our payment, we had to flag down our server in order to get our cards returned. It's unfortunate that the employees caused a group of excited newbies to Northside to be let down with their first visit. read more

Such a great spot to grab breakfast. The frose is yummy and the food was delicious. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cinnamon roll, but that was a personal preference for something a bit more doused in icing (I have a sweet tooth!) so no points docked for that. read more

I enjoyed having lunch at this airy little delight on a Monday afternoon. Cozy is the best way to describe this place. There's lots of greenery, and it feels inviting when you walk in. There's breakfast options to choose from as well as lunch, and the entire menu looked great. I opted for the grilled chicken Cobb salad, and it was huge. I'm glad I found this place because it was a welcomed change from the same places I've been visiting. I'll be sure to keep this one in my back pocket for meeting up with my friends. read more

No pancakes!!! Still enjoyed my breakfast. Nice ambience, the entrance is a bit weird no place to really stand, besides in the way! Place was not crowded they do have Coca Cola products so... automatically gave them a star for that. Quick service one more. Presentation and taste was one more star. My eggs did get to the table not cold but not as hot as I'd like. Other than that I would recommend this place. Went with my daughter and BF. She ordered from the kids menu as did I :) i had left overs which she helped with and she ate up all her French toast in a blink of an eye! She loved it! KID APPROVED, kind of hard to do. The Quinoa Salmon was tasty. Lacking some spice on the Salmon, still after you quede the lime add some salt and pepper along with some hot sauce was delicious.

Mushroom soup, with your side of buttery herbed crostini, will you marry me?? Seriously, this stuff brings me so much joy I nearly float out the door. (Doesn't that doesn't sound like love to you?) Additionally, the iced tea (it's just tea, right?! Um NO!) It is really clean and bright and homey tasting! Trust me, it's the tea of grandma's kitchen! The only downfall, and it's kinda a big one, the service. I'm not sure I've had a warm or friendly server or wait staff yet. And I'm pretty much a frequent flyer! Even take out can be a drag- I just feel like Ugh, why are you so cranky? Ok, no more negative Nancy cuz I want to add the decorating in the back room is really cute and cozy! read more

Nice selection of music playing. Look forward to summer for patio. Gabe's breakfast is served with 2 eggs, choice of bacon, sausage or ham, breakfast potatoes and toast. Blood Mary is slightly spicy but will accommodate your preference. read more

Stopped in for a quick, solo Sunday brunch. What I appreciated the most is being seated at a real, 4-top table-so often a single diner is regulated to a small, corner 1 or 2 person table. It was nice to have some space to spread out! I ordered the avocado toast with a poached egg. The egg was PERFECTLY poached! The salad that accompanied the toast was plentiful, but could have used a tad more dressing for my personal taste. The highlight was definitely the toast. Creamy avocado spread, crunchy toast, and some gorgeous green goddess dressing. So yummy! I'd love to come for a longer visit and try some more of their dishes. read more

Pros: Nice outdoor seating (out of the sun!), yummy food Cons: REAAAALLLY overpriced for certain things, breezeway smells I was excited to give this place a try since I've dined at the Northside Social and loved it. I came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, and the place wasn't all that busy. We got a great spot in a little breezeway they had converted into a cute dining area. I was excited to sit here, until a breeze came by and brought the lovely scent of hot garbage my way. Avoid sitting in the breezeway on a drafty day, because this can ruin your meal quick! There may be a dumpster on the other side of the concrete wall that separates it from a parking lot. The food: I ordered the jack chicken sandwich without tomatoes, a cup of chicken noodle soup and asked to sub fresh fruit for my side (instead of chips). Sandwich came with tomatoes even though I had asked for it without, but it was really yummy. This is where I got pretty annoyed with their pricing. 4 bucks for a tiny cup of soup that tastes like Campbell's with some celery in it, and $4.50 (!!!!!!!) to sub fruit for chips. I have no problem paying extra from fruit, but 1) $4.50 is ridiculous and 2) the amount you receive for this amount is very little. Worth about $1.50, but I was the sucker that paid for it, huh? Service was okay. For how empty it was, I was surprised how often our drinks went unrefilled. All in all: I will happily come back, but I won't get any extras (soups, upgraded sides) because they are ridiculously overpriced! read more

You know you've had a solid sandie when the pickle goes untouched. How do you know? Well.. you look down at the lovely gerkin and your like, "ah, snap I'm stuffed like a bum so much so I gotta wrap up the pickle to go." If a sandwich shop offers a Reuben... the Reuben is a good way to put 'em to the test: with its strict ingredients... it's up to the creator to bring it on home with their own touch. (By the way, Protzel's in STL has forever ruined me as their Reuben is the best in America and I was so lucky to once have it bestow itself upon me.) At first glance this Reuben didn't seem worthy of its $10 price tag. Much like the vast expanse of a dessert... it just kept going. The kraut had a peculiar (in a good way) tang to it, same went for the apple kraut. Maybe I'm spoiled on amazing corned beef... but I want my Reuben to be pretty beef forward. I want the corned beef to lead the Reuben march like a frontline general, rather than have so much cheese the beef takes a back seat. I decided to look up what "emmenthaler swiss" is... and it's like the double speak of "chai tea." Chai is Tea and Emmenthaler is Swiss... just so you know when you look at it on the menu and give it a "que?" It's the Swiss cheese from the cartoons. In the end, I'm definitely down for this Reuben... yet I have a hunch their other sandwiches are more in their wheelhouse & better. I really love the space here. Especially if you saw it before as a appliance shop... it's pretty damn lovely in here. High ceilings, high windows... bright white, cold gray floors.... Considering it's in a lowly old strip mall, next to a headshop... it's a haven. The salad menu looks like the true value here. And that will get me back in the door... oh, speaking of doors... I arrived 3 minutes past 3 (closing time) and they unlocked the door for me (me the scruffy, flannel, bearded guy). Then, they gave me a free cookie for being the last served of the day! What A Treat! Note: truly homemade, freshly daily cut potato chips & fries! read more

Brunch lovers beware!! You will fall in love with this wonderful establishment and never want to venture out to new places. Just stopped in here for the first time this past weekend and wow. The options on the menu are all so hard to pick from because they sound amazing. There is plenty of meat lover, vegan, vegetarian, cheese lover options. I opted to share a mimosa carafe with my friend which was a power move for sure- the mimosa is heavy on the champagne with a splash of OJ. I ordered the egg Benedict which was recommended by our server- the pork belly is an amazing addition to this classic dish. The other dishes my friends got also looked incredible including the avocado toast, breakfast burrito,cheese and bacon omelette, and a breakfast platter. My friend also added on a cinnamon roll to the side which he raved about the entire meal. I highly recommending trying- I for sure will be ordering one next time. The atmosphere here is casual and the service is quick and friendly. I cannot wait to try all of the other restaurants owned by the kitchenette. read more

You know when you and a friend try a new brunch spot together, but you like your friend's food much better than you like your own? This was that time. I came here last Sunday for brunch around noon. There was no wait. The restaurant has a pleasant environment and decor. I sat in the covered room that is somewhat outdoors. I said I hope one day I have a covered patio that looks this great! Very nice seating area. OJ looked great! My friend approved! Fresh, strong coffee. I ordered the Brioche French toast which comes with potatoes----this is silly. Of all the things to serve French toast with, why potatoes? It just doesn't seem intentional to pair the items. Double carbs? I ordered a side of bacon. My friend got the breakfast burrito (it also comes with potatoes.) THIS BREAKFAST BURRITO IS AMAZING! I will be ordering this one myself next time. Check this place out! read more

Great people and great food. Very comfortable environment! My food arrived quickly and was delicious. Great wait staff, very friendly.

I found a new brunch spot! The space in nice and quaint, but bigger than you would expect. We were seated in the back, which I like to can the sunroom. The light that comes in there is amazing. Anyway, the server was very friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly too! I had the morning kicker omelette and it was amazing! The server suggested putting the cream on the side because it's spicy, but I'm a fan of my mouth being on fire. It actually wasn't bad at all. It gave the omelette a perfect kick! Everything on the menu looks great and I can't wait to go back again and try something new!! read more

Great place for brunch. Plenty of reasonably priced options. Service was excellent, food was great and the hibiscus mimosa was amazing.

Stopped in for a Saturday brunch and loved the vibe. We had friendly/quick service. They have extensive options for omelettes and the ingredients tasted fresh. Except for the egg itself. It came almost like a pita stuffed with cheese and veggies. The egg was obviously pre cooked and then the toppings were added. It wasn't offensive but it wasn't the best omelette I've ever had. Breakfast potatoes were on point. read more

Is this thing on?! Okay good--because everyone needs to hear this! This place is adorable and you need to go. NEED. to. go! Once again, I am a sucker for a good breakfast place and this one has all the bells and whistles. First, it's so cute inside! (check out my pictures) it's one of the those places that gets you excited to be there just by the appearance. The breakfast list is small compared to lunch, but has a good mix of options. I got the "Kickin eggs Benedict" (check out picture). When I get eggs Benedict I normally get the hollandaise on the side when going to a new place because I'm not sure if I will like it--BUT this spicy garlic hollandaise is FIRE! So so so good! I started dipping my potatoes in it because I loved it so much. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was so very polite and professional. Our drinks were always filled and she checked on us often, but without being annoying. Haha so that was nice! They have a great list of morning libations-bloody Mary, screwdriver, Baileys, mimosa, etc. My only wish would be this--individual coffee creamers for the coffee. But that is totally a preference! I did mention that the little creamer holder was cute, but I just prefer the individual creamers. They have a chalk board wall that shows different places to try/ information for guest which I thought was super cute. This place is a total hit! I can't wait to go back in the summer and eat OUTSIDE! Bravo, Northside Kitchenette! read more

This place is sooo good! The outdoor seating area is really nice. Our server was quick and attentive. We ordered an omelette and the Turkey Basil sandwich. We're trying to eat healthier, so my husband asked for greens with his omelette instead of potatoes and I ordered my sandwich without the bread. The server came out a few seconds later and told me that my sandwich included chips, but since it appeared we were trying to be healthy, she offered me greens as my side as well. Super thoughtful, and that's not always the case. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back. The interior is really cute too. They seemed to have a great brunch crowd. Our wait was not at all long. read more

Came here for brunch with my husband and the first thing that caught my eye was the interior. I immediately fell in love with the bright and clean space with splash of modern yet home-y decor. Their food was equally delightful as I had the kitchenette sink which I could only describe as a loaded biscuits and gravy. It came with a perfectly cooked eggs over easy on top of a bed of warm biscuits smothered in gravy and sprinkled with bacon pieces and potatoes. Service was attentive and prompt as we were one of the first customers of the day. I can't wait to come back for brunch here! read more

Small, quiet, and quite cute. The Kitchennette is my go-to spot for Saturday or Sunday brunch. They serve American style breakfast/ lunch. This place is suitable for a sweet daytime date. I like my coffee BLACK! Alex has been my waiter on several occasions, to my delight. He is so patient; like on the days I say no cream, he doesn't grimace when I request it later. Lol I usually order the Kitchen(ette) Sink (get this if all you want is everything) potatoes, eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy....and if you're like me Sriracha!! I've also had their breakfast burrito, and it's the best. Period. I love this place because they never mess up my eggs, the food is very good and the service is nice. read more

Great atmosphere with great food and great mimosas. I love the kitchen'ette' sink and the kickin eggs Benedict.

It was honestly the worst breakfast meal I've had in awhile and that's saying a lot. The only reason I'd give it two stars is because NOT my waitress but I believe the owner asked me how my food was, and I tried to be as graceful and nice as I could. I told her my eggs were severely undercooked so she compt my meal. My waitress on the other hand could careless. The patty tasted like cardboard and my husbands meal was disgusting. It was covered in gravy and was not cooked well, as a result, he had a stomach ache for the rest of the day. It's a shame and I feel like they could have done so much better given the fact that there was maybe a total of ten people eating at the restaurant, it was not busy at all. It's a very cute restaurant but the food and service was mediocre and not worth the money at all. read more

New to the Indianapolis area and was looking for a great brunch spot. Looked at reviews for this place and the drink review and it was given a 4.5 rating. First time visiting w/medical condition that requires me to order small portions. So I wanted a Gabe's mini breakfast (kids menu) a cinnamon with two bottles of Mimosa. The waitress proceeded to tell me that I couldn't order from the kid menu. I let her know that I couldn't handle adult size portions, and she was told me I needed to show a medical card showing that. When I let her know that I work for healthcare, she then tried to say it was ok to order from there just this one time. I spoke with the manager who was really professional. However, I did not want to stay after the way the waitress treated me. I didn't get to try the food, or drinks but customer service is everything in 2022. read more

Been to this restaurant twice now and I have liked it both times. It is located in broad ripple, just further down on college ave away from all the broad ripple bustle. There is Northside Social right next to it, which I think is owned by the same company. I really like the light industrial decor. There is an outside patio with canopies. The inside is bright and light. There is a beautiful room tucked to the side for dinning as well. It looks like a good space for group dinning. The first time I visited the restaurant I ordered an omelette with a side of potatoes and toast. It was okay just like any other regular omelette. The second time I visited, I ordered the Jack Chicken sandwich which was fantastic! It was more than I expected quantity wise and came with a side of kettle potatoe chips. I will be back to this restaurant! read more

This is a little gem hidden away in a corner in a Mini mall of broad ripple and I'm sad I just found it because the food is amazing! First they have breakfast, lunch and brunch so I love the variety and they have food and never that's go great with all those meals. The service was great, greeted immediately and taking good care of. The place is not huge but a very nice size with a nice atmosphere and diversity of customers. So I felt comfortable and that's always nice in a new location. The food though is the highlight!! The menu is not same ole same, they have daily specials and the regular items are also not the norm. Good not only comes in a large portion size that will leave you leftovers if you can save some for later but the flavoring is spectacular. I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu! read more
