Such a unique and charming restaurant! Art covers the walls, giving the space a warm, homey feel. We chose to sit outside and had a very kind server, though it did feel like he forgot about us a few times. Here's what we tried: + Quiche of the day (ham & cheese) with breakfast potatoes - Just okay. I wish the ham had been sourced locally, but the potatoes were great! + Brisket breakfast bowl - Also just okay. The brisket was cubed, which we weren't expecting, and overall the dish could've used a bit more flavor. Interested in trying other brunch items on the menu at some point!

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Ruth's Cafe yet. I rave to everyone I know about how amazing their blueberry pancakes are. Even with the change in ownership, they remain the same: as big as the plate, chock full of FRESH blueberries (if you order them that way like I do), and light and fluffy. I think about them all the time and always start planning our next trip in once we leave (there have been instances of us coming here multiple weekends in a row lol). My husband always likes to order the potato omelet and absolutely loves it. It's a huge portion, comes with a little side salad and toast/jam. I have strayed from the pancakes a few times to try something savory and have enjoyed those dishes too, but I have never had pancakes anywhere near as good as Ruth's elsewhere in Indy, so I like to get those when we come in.

Ruth's is just a gem. We tried it years ago and fell in love immediately. You have fun artwork and wall hanging that change when they are sold. You have painted walls with chalkboard specials. It is the true essence of a cute little cafe. We always have breakfast, and they have a large lunch menu too. I'm the warm seasons they have outdoor seating. The staff are like a family and give the BEST service. If you are going on a weekend morning be prepared to wait as their will probably be a line. My favorite here are their omelettes or scrambles with a fluffy pancake!

Ruth's Crab Benedict ,  Roasted Potatoes

My brother and I went to Ruth's and had a great brunch! It felt like we were in & out in a flash! When we sat down we were quickly greeted by amour very nice waitress who took/brought our drinks quickly! The margaritas & mimosas are 10/10! We ate the "Build your Own" Scramble & Ruth's Crab Eggs Benedict... which again came out in like 5-6 mins! We were shocked it was actually our food! lol It's not a huge space in there but not cramped by any means in my opinion! Great spot!

The food was fine - it wasn't as flavorful as I expected. The cookies were amazing though. I understand why people rave. Service was good. The waitress was nice and refilled our drinks regularly. Ambiance was casual and cozy. It was a wonderful place to be on like a weekend morning.

Spinach melt on focaccia with side salad
Abigail C.

I wanted a cute Sunday brunch and Ruth's Cafe was one of Yelp's favorites in north Indy! I arrived at 12pm and there was a 5 minute wait. Upon entering, I couldn't help but notice how cute and kitschy this place is - vibrant colors, pop culture references on the walls, and quirky furniture. I ordered the spinach melt on focaccia with a side salad, which was served in less than 10 minutes. Wow - the spinach melt was packed with tang and juicy from the roasted tomatoes. It had enough swiss cheese for a cheese pull (so satisfying). The focaccia wasn't in a traditional focaccia rectangle shape - it was the size of a large English muffin. However, the focaccia was soft, moist, and flavorful. I would love to buy focaccia to-go from Ruth's if possible...it was *that* good! I'm definitely coming back to Ruth's for it's cozy vibe, excellent customer service, and high quality food. There are plenty of vegetarian options to choose from for my next visit!

The Traitor Aka the Jon Snow Benedict and salad
Teresa M.

Came for brunch this time around.. good as always. The menu had plenty of options.. they always have a scramble special and quiche special. I've tried the quiche many times and it is always top notch. Today I decided to go for a benedict - but with a twist potato pancake base instead of english muffin. Very good - perfect poached egg - lovely hollindaise... i didn't realize it didn't have ham on it - but i re-read the menu and that was my mistake! Server was quick with my coffee and a refill. Also, you can scan your receipt's qr code and pay with apple pay. No need to wait for your card to be run. The place has a super funky vibe- all the tables are different. Let me try to explain the table next to me had a colts pattern top and mine a super hero. The chairs have decoupage - really cute.

Ruth's Crab Benedict
Elaine F.

Nice spot for brunch, the atmosphere is nostalgic and cozy. Food was good and service was even better. Variety of items to choose from, I had the Crab Benedict (a crab cake topped with sunnyside up egg) and side of fruit. I plan to explore the menu further.

We were able to get in just before closing and were seated immediately. This place has a bistro feel to it, small, quaint and cozy. Every day they feature a different omelette and quiche. I ordered the salmon omelette: Smoked salmon, fresh sautéed spinach and cream cheese. Served with your choice of slow-roasted potatoes, fresh fruit, or house salad with champagne vinaigrette, plus sourdough toast. The omelette was huge enough to get a doggy bag and was very satisfying. I'll definitely be returning.

The Traitor...aka Jon Snow benedict with a side of fruit. (and Tapatio added on top).

Had brunch at Ruth's Café and ordered "The Traitor... aka The Jon Snow," and honestly, I now understand why the North keeps fighting for this man. Served on homemade Norwegian potato cakes, the dish was comforting enough to survive a winter beyond the Wall. My side of fruit was fresh, and the service was fast and attentive... no betrayals here. We also noticed several diners around us ordering the Jon Snow too, so it's clearly the fan favorite of the realm. Pretty good brunch spot. I'd definitely return before winter comes.

The ambiance and vibe of the cafe was the best. Super cute and plenty of room for people without feeling too cramped. We arrived around 9:15 on a Sunday morning and were seated within 10 mins. This was our second time in about 10 years so we wanted to check it out again. I'm a huge fan of lefse so we came here with that in mind. Food: I got a coffee, the lefse, and the brisket hash. My husband got a double order of biscuits and gravy, with a side of bacon and a Diet Coke. The lefse was amazing, just like I remembered. I thought the brisket would be shredded and it was cut up in chunks, almost like a smoked sausage consistency. The flavor was good, but I don't think I'd choose that again. The coffee was regular and they had cream and sugar on the tables. My husband wasn't thrilled about the biscuits and gravy, but he's picky and thought the sausage had a weird taste to him. (It not their chorizo sausage gravy, which I had last time and it was fantastic!) All in all, I'm glad we have it a 2nd shot. It was pricey ($67 with tip) so I doubt we will be back for awhile. There are plenty of cheaper breakfast options in Indy, but it was ok to splurge I guess. Thanks for the lefse and great decorations!

Would Ruth's be able to accommodate a party of 9?

Yes they can but I'd recommend getting there early, too late in the day makes it harder for them to accommodate.

I don't have a traditional office, so I'm always looking for remote places to work. I love a change of scenery and environment. Over the past year or two, I've slowly faded out my visits to a certain popular coffee establishment with a name shared by a character on Battlestar Galactica. So, when a friend told me about The Haverstick, I needed to check it out! I'm so glad I did. It has become my go-to office of choice! Housed in a community center of a local church, the environment has dim lighting and soft music. A perfect place to get focused and stay focused. They have a coffee bar that also offers a few food options. The coffee is good and very affordable. The staff is always friendly. There is usually only one person staffing the coffee shop, but they get to your order quickly. You just may have to wait if there is a large group, as happened to me once. But no worries. Simply have a seat and get to work, and they will call your name when your beverage and/or food is ready to pickup. The Haverstick is less a coffee shop and more a community shared-space work environment that offers coffee. They have a lot of comfortable chairs and tables of various sizes. The room is wide open and you never feel crowded, even if there is a decent amount of people. However, it's usually only a handful of other people around, so it's a great place to get things done. They also have conference rooms for rent. I'm grateful this church has opened its doors to the public and offers such a wonderful and inviting atmosphere. I look forward to returning soon and getting some more work done.

I love a good hot sauce on eggs and hash browns, so I decided to give it a try. I stopped in on a weekday morning, and it wasn't very busy. I was seated promptly at a booth, which was clean but I noticed the beverage menu was fairly grubby with spills and smudges. Definitely needed to be replaced. I ordered a combo with eggs over medium and hash browns. The server asked if I wanted my hash browns regular or extra crispy. I ordered them regular. My food was delivered very quickly, and I was pleased to see that my eggs were perfectly over medium. Too often my over medium eggs are either overcooked or undercooked but there were perfect. The hash browns were a nice golden brown, tasty, and very good around the edges but soft in the middle. I understand why some might order them extra crispy, which I would do next time. The hot sauce was indeed delicious and the sever mentioned that it was available for sale, only $5.99. Deal! I liked my food and loved the hot sauce, which perfectly complimented both the eggs and hash browns. I would return to try some of the other menu items. I also ordered cinnamon toast.

That could not be more true. We both did Pick Two: I got a chicken salad sandwich and my mother got a turkey and cheese both with the soup of the day which was butternut squash. Soup was OK, sandwiches were OK. I got a side of chips (not made in-house) for $3. My daughter was upset when we arrived bc she was napping in the car and she proceeded to cry for about the first 10 minutes so, I walked around with her to calm her before I sat down since it's so cramped to try not to disturb everyone else. She was not happy the entire time so we were trying to calm her and feed her. Cake slices and cheesecake are $17-20 each. They're large but other reviews say dry and taste old. That's pricey. We skipped dessert at those prices based on the quality of the rest of our meal... I got an $8 peppermint mocha which was good but, served in the smallest teacup imaginable. It's extremely small inside. Like, uncomfortable. Granted, I had a lot of items with my baby and her and we were seated at a table for two with her in my lap but it was close quarters and the waitresses were squeezing between the chairs to walk around. They have about 6 tables inside with a small event private room in back. Our waitress was kind but, the manager or owner was off-putting. She went to every single table seated except ours to ask how their meal was and experience and, when time to pay, she wanted to personally ring me up to ensure we left in a hurry. I get it, some places are not meant for babies, but, since it's billed specifically to kids, I thought this was. Nope, I was wrong. (She's 19 months - so, too young for this bougie of an establishment clearly) I would not come back at all unless it was for my, older daughter to have a birthday cake experience and get a couple cute pics. As far as instagram-worthy goes, they know what they're doing. As far as quality of food. It's like a 2.5 stars. I wish we'd waited and walked into the larger one in Carmel and just shopped and got some cookies to go!

Despite the restaurant being super busy, we were seated quickly and warned that it would take at least 20 minutes after we ordered for our orders to come. Although everyone was seated, there seemed to be just one waiter to service everyone's ordering needs. Shortly after being seated, this waiter came by to drop off a pair of waters, and I remembered to asked for menus which he brought to us immediately. I watched as this guy served everyone throughout the restaurant. There was a lot for him to remember! Since we were in a rush, I immediately ordered soon as he came by to check on us.

The waiter brought ketchup and came by a couple times to check on us. If you are staying at this hotel, you can opt to charge the bill to your room. They also take cash and credit/debit cards. Either way, check out was also quick and easy. Thank you for the yummy lunch deal, Keystone Café! We made it back in time for our conference!
