    Nice space inside the Ironworks Hotel. During good weather they have a patio area to also eat on. Husband got a BYO Omelette with sour dough toast. They don't have grape jelly which is a big no no to my husband. They have a homemade strawberry jam. I thought the jam was ok. But he hates strawberries. He was offered a blueberry compote that they use on another dish. It was ok flavor wise, just not very sweet. The omelette was good size and filled well. I got biscuits and gravy. I was super disappointed when I kept finding onions in the gravy. Onions don't belong in Biscuits Gravy. I picked out the chunks that were visible. Our service was good. But I don't feel like we'd ever be back. The lack of grape jelly could be forgiven. The onions in the gravy can't be. Gravy is sausage, flour in the drippings to make roux, milk or a mix of milk and water to make the gravy. Season with salt and pepper. That's it.

    This review is a bit overdue as my mom and I went to Rise at the Ironworks Hotel in Indy in the fall of 2025, which was a few months ago. But better late than never, right? Especially since I want to give Rize a 5 star review as our brunch was excellent and healthy and our service was on point. After a lovely night, staying at the attached Ironworks hotel for my sister's wedding dress shopping weekend, my mom and I were famished but also feeling a bit bougie. We were seated right away at around 9am on the weekend, despite Rize looking very busy. As you can see in the attached pictures, it was bustling inside. My mom isn't a big eater and suggested we share a meal. So my mom and I shared the chicken tuscan panini, and a chicken and guyere cheese omelet. Both came with a side of RIZE salad which is their signature plate of mixed greens and dressing. Each dish was $17 and we ate it all, feeling full but healthy afterwards. Our waters were kept filled and our food arrived fresh and hot. I think $40 is a bit high for a breakfast for two but it was very good and best of all, my mom paid! Thanks mom! Overall, Rize at the Ironworks hotel is a great place for out of towners to eat at and I wouldn't mind coming back!

    I was staying here for work and needed to grab some breakfast before heading out for the day. I am a simple breakfast kind of guy. With this being in the hotel, I figured I'd give it a shot. I opted for the sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant. It came with a small side salad too which was a nice touch. I also had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and some water. The food was great! The sandwich was delicious. I would have liked the egg to be a little more fried but the sunny side up was good too, just a little messier. The orange juice was very good and definitely helped start my day off right. The salad was great too as a nice way to finish it all together. Next time I am in the area, I will stay at Ironworks and eat here. The vibes, food, and area are all immaculate.

    This is a very nice breakfast/brunch restaurant in the Ironworks building. The reason I came here was because. They were offering a Devour Indy special and their patio is dog-friendly. My pup was treated like a queen by the staff. And my eggs benedict and mimosa were top notch.

    We really enjoyed the breakfast at Rize during our recent stay at Iron Works. Love that it's accessible from right inside the hotel. The inside gets really packed during the morning so we ended up having to do outdoor seating. Some of the stand out items include the breakfast croissant sandwich, the potato egg tart, and the cinnamon roll with the orange glaze. Flavored mimosas were solid as well. Definitely worth checking out.

    Food was ok. Much better than the nearby yolk but far from what I would consider an epic breakfast. Make reservations as it appears to be a popular place. Salad & the English muffins were the highlights of the meal kind of expensive for what it is imho. You'd think that patrons of the hotel would get dibs at tables but it's not the case. A tad pretentious

    Breakfast sandwich and potatoes.
    Amanda L.

    We were in town for a concert and stayed with a friend who lives in Indy. She recommended Rize and made a reservation for 9:45 on a Sunday morning. We were greeted and seated when we arrived. The decor was cute and the space had a great vibe. Our server was friendly and willing to accommodate my "complicated order" that I deemed, build your own adventure. I ordered an English Muffin with a banana and peanut butter. My friends ordered the breakfast sandwich and potatoes and the chia seed pudding bowl. We all tried one another's dishes, and everything was great! We can't wait to go back next time we're in town.

    Food: Amazing/light/filling Service: Nice and Attentive Ambiance: Well mapped out with comfy seating. Overall experience I would recommend. It is perfect for family, friends, couples, or individual setting is well mapped. Comfortable seating and the food hit. My partner and I were able to substitute some things for example on the traditional Benny typically comes with Canadian bacon and I was able to do chicken sausage. And kind service.

    Super greens smoothie (delish)
    Liddia S.

    Super cute, affordable and delicious. There is plenty of parking and the business is within a strip of other businesses, including a hotel. Our server Ray was very friendly and attentive. To enter the restaurant, you go in through the hotel and it's immediately on the right. There is a bartop with 4-6 seats and two long tables along two separate big windows that overlook the parking lot. Only tables in the restaurant but it feels cozy. Our server greeted us with water and we ordered smoothies and salads. The super greens smoothie was super delicious. Not sweet which i like and costs approx. $8. I ordered the chopped chicken salad and it was soo delicious. The dressing was great and everything tasted fresh. They may need to sell the dressing by the bottle. Our food came out within 5-7 minutes and everything was great. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant because the windows are so big, we were pretty close to them and the restaurant is fairly small but has approx. 12 tables of 4-6 seats available. No booths would be my only drawback. I will definitely be eating here again.

    RIZE is always a safe brunch spot! I tried the breakfast sandwich and swapped the biscuit for a croissant. It was delicious. Service was quick and easy for a Saturday morning. The ironworks location is always a bit overcrowded in terms of seating arrangements, but it was a great experience nevertheless.

    Veggie Power Bowl with Sausage
    Michelle W.

    Friendly staff & healthy food options I visited RIZE for the first time for Sunday Brunch. This location was packed - luckily I had a reservation! Very cute atmosphere, but it is very loud. I got the Veggie Power Bowl (added sausage) and a hot Chai Latte. The bowl was yummy but I did think had a little too much hummus. Large portion. Chai came out fast, but I like a strong flavored chai so this one was a little too tame for me. Overall would come back and try another dish!

    Egg Tart
    Jessica B.

    My server recommended the egg tart and I'm so glad she did! It was so light and fluffy and the seasonal veggies were so good! I also ordered a hazelnut latte that was really good as well. Solid breakfast place inside the Ironworks hotel. Staff was so friendly and gave lots of good recommendations to everyone at my table.

    Breakfast sandwich, Rize salad, and side of fruit and bacon
    Torri B.

    First off, brunch is always a good idea. This brunch spot is located with the Ironworks district. Very accessible to the Ironworks Hotel that is within the same building. The wait was not long at all. I would say about 5 minutes and we got our table. The service was quick and our server was very attentive to are needs and requests. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which is an overhard egg, with cheese and bacon on a fluffy delicious biscuit I got the guyere cheese on the side. It came with a salad and I opted for an additional side of fruit. My brunch mate got Biscuits and Gravy with a side of bacon. Everything was good. I was full and satisfied. There is outdoor and indoor seating available. Also I was impressed with the local support of this restaurant. Give them a go for brunch.

However, I was disappointed that a portion of the automatically added 20% gratuity will be going to Jess W. I expected better service, especially with gratuity already included. When I asked if I could purchase a side of hash browns, I was willing to pay the additional charge. Instead, I was told there "was only enough for the hash browns on the burgers." The response felt dismissive, and there was no effort to see if another option was available or to provide a more customer-focused explanation. I understand that menu items may have limitations, but good service is about how those situations are handled. Unfortunately, the level of service I received today did not meet my expectations.

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.

The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. 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.

    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.

    "He's given him a yellow card. I can't speak!"…read more My main man Mick Morgan said it best, as I'm sure you remember, in response to the infamous faulty call of the 1988 Regal Trophy Match. The decision in question was Andy Hay electing to only show yellow after witnessing a violent punch thrown. He should've been sent off! Bluebeard was let off by the masses, which is diabolical. Lulled to sleep by outdoor seating options, sporadically tattooed wait staff, and cutesy menu typeface. In all of your bluster, did any of you see the player get sucker-punched? It was me! Five finger death punched by petite portions at pumped up prices. As I rolled on the ground in agony, you looked at yourself. Sure, your outfit was cute and your date was hot and you did a birthday thing and so on and so forth. But let's not forget the atrocity of what sat on our plates! Bluebeard did you wrong and more importantly, did your boy CJ wrong. To close with a separate thought, what are all you ladies dressing up for on a Friday night? This was my one "fellas got a birthday dinner" of the year. Do y'all do this weekly? Godspeed if so, Godspeed.

    Met up with two friends for brunch at Love Handle and it absolutely delivered. Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. 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.

    Love Handle is in the best neighborhood right on Mass Ave! It's super close to amazing shopping,…read moreand the vibe inside is vintage diner with an artsy twist. The food just needed a little fine-tuning to really shine. The catfish seemed to have a beer-battered coating that felt a little soft and held onto some extra moisture instead of having that classic light crunch. I would love a bit more flavor baked right into the waffle and biscuit dough--though the gravy flavor was definitely a win! Also, the grits lean heavy into jalapeno notes rather than a creamy, cheesy base. It's such a cute venue with great energy, and a few little kitchen adjustments could make it amazing!
