Our table white cloth was nice touch
Suzanne K.

We were delighted to find, in downtown Anderson, a restaurant of this caliber We had tickets to the Paramount Theatre, a two block walk from the "old bus station" where the restaurant was located We had reservations, a good thing as they had no open seating Our waiter was well trained and offered suggestions. As a result I tried a Bullet bourbon, special barrel, that was very nice. My husband had the Bloody Mary My husband had his heart fixed on a 42 ounce pork chop. I agreed to share. Two sides and a wedge. The wedge was like a head of lettuce with blue cheese, bacon and tomato quarters. Very fresh and nice Our waiter warned us that a party of 36 was upstairs and wanted to take our dinner right away. We wanted to enjoy our drinks first. He tried to work it out but I have to admit we felt rushed Next was our pork. To me it was a plate of lard. It was pork back and a small pork chop. The pork back was all fat and about 1/3 of the chop was fat I could not eat it and my husband said it was good. (I think to save face because he had longed for a big pork chop.) The sides were sweet potato casserole and broccoli rabe. Sweet potato was to sweet to enjoy and broccoli was swimming in garlic butter Neither was good When the waiter asked how we enjoyed our meal, I asked if always that fat. He apologized and said I am afraid so. I told him how much I disliked it but my husband ate some of it and thought it was good My husband said to bring a desert menu since I ate so little. The waiter suggested the carrot cake and then asked if we wanted to go. We said no and wanted coffee to enjoy with it He brought lovely fresh press coffee. Poured it and then started clearing our table. I asked if he was hurrying us and said just trying to stay ahead of the crowd $200 check our expectations we're not met but we feel there are better meats on the menu and will try again. For this trip, our expectations were not met

I will start with positives and anyone who cares to read the rest of the way through can see why I gave it only two star. Starting with the ambience, the restaurant was very nicely done up aesthetically. I will say I think for as much as they are charging, we could probably remove a table or two from the middle section and space the tables out a little bit. We were to close next to each other For that type of environment, but it was a beautiful restaurant inside. The service was really pretty great as long as we don't talk about the manager. The house were very pleasant to interact with. Our server was very friendly and checked in on us many times and got us things we needed before asking. Other weight staff was always nearby if we needed something and people were Collecting dishes from our table promptly. The manager came by to fix our undercooked steak, but never checked back, and I would say never really went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. As far as the food part goes, I am pretty disappointed. We started out with the candy bacon, fried green tomatoes, escargot, and crab cakes. The candy bacon had great flavor, but I would hardly call the meat bacon. It was more like thick ham that had maple syrup on it. The fried green tomatoes were great. The escargot sauce tasted like eating straight garlic. The crabcakes were burnt and the sauce they put with it is Way too spicy and takes away from the flavor of the crabcake. For an entrée, I had the dry aged ribeye with sweet potatoes and onion rings. The dry aged ribeye came out undercooked. It was raw when it was supposed to be medium rare. It did not have a good sear on it, nor was it at temp. I might be ignorant to dry aged steaks, but there was hardly any seasoning or flavor to the steak outside of the dry age part. This stake really could've been elevated with some seasoning of some sort on it. I shouldn't have to pay extra for some sort of sauce to actually make it good. The sweet potato casserole was very tasty but more like a dessert than a side as was very sweet. The onion rings were perfect as they had good flavor and good crunchiness to them. The dessert menu had a lot of things to offer, but I saved my appetite for a different spot. For as much as I paid for this restaurant, I would expect better, but maybe I just was the one customer who got the one bad off experience that night. Just kind of sucked because we were a table of five and celebrating Father's Day.

My My My...LOOK AT ANDERSON! They have this new Steakhouse in Downtown Anderson. We happened to just stumble upon this after doing some errands in Anderson (where I don't live). I had heard that they were sprucing up the DT area and just wanted to see what has been done when we saw this really nice building and it said Steak House, well they had me at that point. We immediately parked (free parking in a lot) and walked in. We were taking a risk because it was around 6pm on a Friday and we didn't have reservations. When we walked up they didn't have any tables but said they could sit us at the downstairs bar or for a little quieter the upstairs bar. Wow two bars? We chose the upstairs bar. The server that was up there was extremely nice. She wasn't very busy up there so she gave us tons of attention. The menu is great! Many options even if you aren't a beef eater and the bonus is it is reasonable prices. When are food came out it was hot and simply amazing! Hands down one of the best steaks I have had. They also have a sweet potato option which is really good, I recommend getting it, but you won't need dessert after it! I will be making the trip back to Anderson just to go here (with reservations). It was pretty busy so there seems to be a lot of excitement about this place. I also learned they have one in Muncie as well.

Shrimp cocktail
Kyle C.

We had old fashioned and a dirty old fashioned from the bar upstairs Kaiden was a good bar tender. Our steak was cooked to perfection.

Filet-scalloped potatoes-skillet corn
Stacy A.

Excellent food - superb service, Ellis took care of us like we were family - warm ambience. My favorite go to meal starts with shrimp cocktail, then main course of a 6oz filet, scalloped potatoes, and skillet corn. If you still have room - top it all off with crème brûlée.

The parking lot tailgating before dinner is half the experience. Where else can you sip a drink next to a pickup truck, make friends with complete strangers, and then walk inside to eat a meal that makes you question every life choice that led you to lesser restaurants? The food is absurdly good. The famous Perkinsville Pork deserves its own state holiday. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the menu somehow manages to feel both elevated and unapologetically Hoosier. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was chaotic in the best possible way. Everyone having a great time. Come hungry. Come early. Bring a folding chair for the parking lot. Leave wondering why every restaurant isn't this much fun. 10/10. I'd drive past three chain restaurants and a dozen sensible decisions to eat here again. Will be back soon.

I can definitely understand why people will tailgate just to get in for dinner. We started off with the meatballs, the pork loin, and the pierogies. The pork loin is a must get, and the other others were delicious as well. For my entrée, I got the pork loin as well because it was so good as an appetizer, and before that I started with the tomato soup, which was also excellent. Addison was our waiter and was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a party of over 10 people and he handled it flawlessly. If you're in the mood for something out of the city in a little bit of a change of pace, I would highly recommend trying here.

When I tried order off the menu to see if I could get a trout and steak combo, my server tried very hard to make this happen, but gave up. She could have asked a manager, but it was not important enough for me to pursue the matter. But, she was very sweet and was very helprul the rest of the time. Pittsburgh Rare steak preparation involves charring the exterior on a very hot flat-top and serving it rare. What I got was not this, as I could immediately tell by the fact that it had noticeable grill marks. They just cooked as usual for a rare order. With a NY Strip steak, you expect some connective tissue, but not this much. It was hidden also in the muscle of the steak. I had trouble hiding all the half chewed offal on my plate. Neither did it have a great beef flavor. This summary from the internet agrees with my idea of rice pilaf, "Pilaf is a rice dish where grains are toasted in oil or butter with aromatics like onion and garlic before being simmered in seasoned broth, resulting in fluffy, separate grains." What I was served was nothing like this as I got buttered rice that clumped together. No effort was employed in plating for appearance. I got a steak on a plate and a silver colored boat on which the rice was piled. The Cole slaw served as a salad was very good. The beer was cold and as expected.

I watched as people took their first bites. Forkfuls paused mid-air, conversations instantly ground to a halt, and eyes widened across every table. Jake Burgess and the crew from the Burgess Restaurant Group weren't just catering an event; they were executing a masterclass in craft for a crowd without taking a single shortcut. "You have got to try this," someone blurted out to my left, leaning across the table before even finishing their bite. "I'm tellin' you, Jake and his team don't miss," another replied. "Between FoxGardin, The Den, Bonge's, Carnegie's... it doesn't matter which spot it is, they nail it every single time." Taking it all in, it hit me why they stand so far apart. In a world full of safe, forgettable catering, Jake and the Burgess Restaurant Group served up the kind of deep, craveable food that ruins standard dining for the rest of us. It's the kind of cooking that makes you immediately start planning your next trip to one of their spots before you've even finished the meal in front of you. A massive, heartfelt shoutout to Jake Burgess and the entire Burgess Restaurant Group: FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale, FoxGardin Family Kitchen, The Den, Smoky's Concession Stand, Bonge's Tavern, and Carnegie's. Thank you for keeping us exceptionally well-fed last night!

We weren't going to get an appetizer but the bone marrow fries looked so good in pictures that we had to try them. They did not disappoint. Very large serving and extremely flavorful. Easily an appetizer for 4 or more people (there was only 2 of us so we brought some home). My dining partner is not normally a fries person and she loved these. For entree, my dining partner had today's special which was a shredded chicken sandwich that had a jalapeño cheese sauce and the house chips. She said it was very good and again half the sandwich came home. I had their breaded tenderloin which was very good, with nice breading to meat ratio and was a bit larger than the bun. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. It came ala carte with no sides. Service was excellent, exceptionally friendly and really took care of us. One of the best waiters I've come across. Inside is a bar/pub like feel. We opted to eat in the air condition enclosed "patio" type area which had a bit more light, but was also noisy today due to the tin lined walls/ceiling and another group that was quite loud. Made it a bit hard to converse. Normally don't think this would be an issue. While not tons of items on the menu, the selection was quite varied and you could really splurge on a filet or other such dish and really go all in for a more lavish dinner or have a burger or tenderloin, all at any time of day. Parking was right in front of the restaurant but could see it being a bit tight on a busy day.

Both were delicious and the server said all were made in house. What I loved about the onion rings was the super thick and crunchy beer batter. We also got some sort or chicken bowl that was a lot of food. Came with chips. That's not my particular thing but the person who ordered it loved it. They make all their own dressings and believe me when I tell you the spicy ranch is spicy. I loaded my onion ring up with that ranch and I thought I was going to pass out it was so hot. I still ate it just not as much at one of time. They have plenty of seating at the bar or tables inside and a few outside tables by the street where we saw people take advantage of the nice weather and brought their dogs. They have a small stage where they have live performances, I think someone was coming last night we were just there too early. They have pull tabs for those who are gamblers. The place was really clean and staff were friendly yet busy. Parking can be tricky so be prepared to walk some during peak times.
