I've been bummed ever since Punch Burger disappeared from Downtown. But I'm glad to say the waffle fries live on at The Burger Joint. Definitely stop in here if you're on the mood for a good burger and amazing fries. Staff were super friendly and the whole place was clean and nice. The food couldn't be beat!

Small place located near the Walmart at 56th & Emerson/Fall Creek on the near NE side. Plenty of parking. Very cute interior, maybe 2 doz tables and also a bar area. My coworker and I went around 11:45 on a weekday, so right before any lunch rush. There was one person in the bar area but we were the only others at that time. I did notice theyr wer doing some take out, too. Not having been there before, we asked our waitress what her favorite was and she said "it's all good" -- which is a "correct" response for staff, but really, we were interested in what she would personally recommend. So that didn't help us narrow down anything. The menu has salads, sliders, apps, more ... but being "The Burger Joint" we decided we should try burgers. I had the Hawaiian burger with regular fries, and my friend had the regular burger but wrapped in lettuce (she has to be gluten free) and the sweet potato fries. The burgers were good, nothing great but nothing bad. The sweet potato fries were kind of thin and not too flavorful. The star of the meal were my fries-- nice thicker cut and served very hot. (IF they did their sweet potato fries like that, they would be amazing!) Over the time of our being there, a couple other tables did get filled, but nothing too crazy. The one thing that mgmnt should be aware of is, where our table was, it was definitely competing sounds with very loud music in the kitchen versus the dining room music. Made it hard to talk, and that was without many other people in there! And honestly, our service was ... off. I like to give grace and you never know what is going on with someone. We were not diffcult customers, really easy orders and trying to be friendly, just not getting any of those vibes in return. Given the number of different restaurants we can try, it puts this on the "probably not again" list. One good thing was the burgers were $11 , so that was reasonable for the amount of food. #ReviewsByRL

This new restaurant is located in an up in coming strip mall. They have decent sized private lot that it shares with the other businesses in the strip mall. They offer dine-in and take out. I liked the restaurants hip and trendy vibe. The staff there was friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a decent sized dining area with tables, chairs and high-tops. There is also a bar with seating. The bar is not a full service bar. They only serve beer. There is a seated waiting area up front, with padded benches. Additionally, there was music playing throughout the restaurant. I was solo, so, I just sat at the bar. As for the menu, they serve salads, chicken sandwiches, sandwiches, and of course, exotic signature burgers. They also have some savory flavored lemonades. I got the mango lemonade and it was very delicious. Just keep in mind that you have to pay for refills though. I ordered the Choriburger, which came with fries. It took about 12 minutes for me to get my food and it was hot and fresh. At first glance, I was like, "where's the beef", but it was very filling and, in the end, I could not eat all of it. It was very flavorful and tasty. A very unique burger that I have never had before. I highly recommend it. I also highly recommend checking this joint out as well. They have some delicious food, first class service and amazing atmosphere. You will definitely not be disappointed.

If you've ever been to Indy's Burger Joint on Indy's southside, then you already have a good idea of what to expect from their recently opened sister restaurant The Burger Joint right at Emerson and Fall Creek Parkway in a strip center that houses Subway, ATI Physical Therapy, and La Cantina Mexican Restaurant. This spot is a little iffy already having housed two restaurants that didn't make it - Great American Pizza Company and Streeet Eatz. This is a super busy corner for restaurants with Lincoln Square, Peace of Mind Pub & Eatery, Hardee's, Taco Bell, and Burger King all joining the aforementioned right at this corner along with a couple primarily takeout joints - Golden Chef and Garrett's BBQ. The Burger Joint only opened soft this week. The word's not out yet. I'll openly admit that my 5-star rating is generous. I mean, hey, it's really just a burger joint. However, the atmosphere is welcoming and the service is super friendly. I'd probably call this a 4-star, however, in the spirit of supporting the new kid on the block I'm going with a 5-star based on quality food, fair prices, a good atmosphere, and friendly service. If you've been to the southside spot, then you already know this is a place that is casual but serious about burgers. The southside location reminds me of a Waffle House, but the food is quite a bit better. The southside location is definitely more run down and, well, dirtier. I would call it a relatively clean dive. This building really isn't that old. This spot is definitely not run down, though it's nothing fancy. There's accessible parking easily available and appropriate curb cuts. As you enter, there's a little bar area in the middle (If I understood right they'll have beer soon and hope to expand. I don't believe they have any alcohol right now and I don't see any on the menu) with a row of tables on both sides. The front window also has some high-top tables. There are booths and traditional tables and lots of spaces for a wheelchair user. The hostess, only in her second day, clearly understood accessibility and she and one of the servers moved a chair. The menu emphasizes burgers, of course, though there are other sandwich options, appetizers, salads, and hand crafted milkshakes. They do have iced tea and they serve Pepsi products. I ordered an "Original Burger" - essentially your basic burger. It says plain, though mine did come with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The fries are very nicely seasoned. The serving size was decent, though not outstanding. I did get my always desired refill. My bill came in at under $15 without a tip. I think that's pretty good for a dine-in experience. These days, it's pretty easy to spend $10 or more at a fast food joint. For an extra $5, I got a better atmosphere, better food, and service. As Yelp Elite Jemmie likes to point out, Indy is heavy with burgers and this area definitely is heavy with burgers. Heck, it's not too far away to get to Culver's. However, I could easily see this place becoming a neighborhood favorite like Lincoln Square. While a couple restaurants haven't made it in this area, most of the restaurants on this corner are doing just fine. While it's arguable that we sure didn't need another burger joint, this neighborhood definitely needed another quality place to have a dine-in meal with good food and service. I look forward to returning. Welcome to the neighborhood, The Burger Joint!

Choriburger aka blob

Service was good, if that. The food? Hell nah, i ordered 2 burger bro. Got two plates of mush. The sides. They needed sum salt (I got fries). The shake? Watered down. But I guess it's good for the price. ($5). I also ordered some chicken nachos. I said no jalepenos, and they made sure it came with it. Ambiance is cool. Keeps you hopeful for what's coming. I'm sorry, but I never experienced such disappointment before. This my first yelp review. That itself says a lot. If you looking for the best burgers here, they only have nachos.

BBQ Burger with Garlic Parmesan French Fries
Kellye H.

My husband and I wanted to try something different for delivery and decided on The Burger Joint. We both ordered the BBQ Burger which arrived without bbq sauce or fried onions. There was also about a cup and a half of shredded lettuce on the burger. The garlic parm fries were okay, but I would not order them again. The burger was decent. It was cooked well, but had no seasoning.

Chicken Nachos
Patricia R.

Doesn't look like much when you wall by. But I was hungry and popped in. The ambiance was very friendly. The service was fast and very welcoming. CHICKEN NACHOS: 10/10 SANTA FE BURGER: 8/10 CHORIBURGER: 10/10 Fries: 8/10 they are greasy but very yummy!

Receipt
Ro W.

I called in to place my order. I went in to pay and was greeted after she finished taking another to go order. While on the phone, she said I can add anything on my veggie burger. I added fried jalapeños and didn't know it was up upcharge until I got my receipt. They offered a black bean burger vs an impossible burger which was a plus. It looked somewhat like a mondo burger from Good Burger. But when I took the first bite, the whole thing crumbled. It wasn't well seasoned. They offer waffle fries, seasoned fries, tater tot, salad, or fruit for the sides which is a plus.

Excellent food and service!!! I had the Turkey Burger in The Sante Fe style with a fried egg!!! Triple B had the BBQ Burger!!! All very YummyLicious!!! My Strawberry, Lemonade and Mango Drink was Outstanding!!!

We weren't impressed. We thought the hamburgers were overcooked and dry. Overpriced for less than mediocre food.

Another absolutely incredible meal at Bru Burger Bar on Mass Ave! Yet again, Cunningham Restaurant…read moreGroup delivers an amazing dining experience. We started with the Angry Mac & Cheese, which we had never tried before, and wow -- it was phenomenal. The homemade cheese sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly smooth without separating. The andouille sausage and shrimp were cooked beautifully, and the cream sauce had incredible flavor with just the right subtle hint of spice. Absolutely perfect comfort food with an elevated twist. We sat outside on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather during Indy 500 race week, and the atmosphere could not have been better. Every table around us was full of people laughing, enjoying lunch, and soaking in the energy of the city. It was one of those perfect Indianapolis afternoons. For our mains, we both ordered the Cobb salad -- one with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken -- and both were outstanding. I still can't believe how large the "small" salads are! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the homemade ranch dressing was absolutely delicious. The service, as always, was top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From start to finish, it was such a fantastic lunch and overall experience. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to come back!

My date barely touched her food (not sure why ), but everything I had tasted great. The atmosphere was one of the best parts. It had a really nice vibe with a good balance of modern and natural elements, which made it a great spot to just sit and talk. Only downside is the parking situation--they really need their own dedicated parking because it can be a hassle. Other than that, I'd say it's a strong 4 stars and worth checking out.

I came here on a whim and I'm glad I did!…read more Kuma's corner kind of feels like a rock concert venue turned restaurant on the inside, with lots of memorabilia in there. There's a bit of grunge aesthetic too. I opted for the patio seating on the nice day that I visited. Service worked pretty quickly and friendly. I got a mocktail to start that was cranberry, orange, and pineapple juice. It was pretty yummy. I was far more impressed by the foooood! My partner and I split a burger and Mac and cheese. The size small was $9 and was honestly huge. It was definitely enough food for two. The burger we got was also a good size, and came with a lot of shoestring onion on top. The burger was $18 but it's a 10 oz patty which is practically a better deal than most other burgers out there. I'll be back again sometime for sure!

Zero proof drinks. There were some reviews about long wait times, non-toasted buns and the cost but the write up of the place itself gave me nostalgia vibes for a place called Cobra Burger in Richmond, VA so I had to try my luck. I really wanted to love this place, as I've not found anything like Cobra Burger here in Indy. When we arrived, around 6:45p on a Thursday, the patio had a good amount of people, but inside was pretty empty apart from the bar. We sat at a two top in the bar area. The music was at a pretty low volume, especially considering the amount of reviews that said otherwise. Our server was also bartender, so it initially took her a couple of minutes to come over, which is understandable. She took our order for drinks and then after bringing them back for the food. She was nice and provided good service although juggling tables and the bar, plus she was also pregnant. It took a very long time for us to get our food (close to an hour), despite three guys working the line in the kitchen, banging out burger after burger. The food arrived, hot and correct. Both my husband and I were disappointed that the reviews were right and the burger buns were not toasted. Non-toasted burger buns actually make the burgers harder to eat and less enjoyable. My burger was decent for a non-handmade vegan option; for the price my expectation is amor sophisticated/handmade creative one, but I am thankful that they had a vegan option at all. My husband thought his burger was just okay and that he's had better ones around Indy, so we probably won't be dining here again. For the size of the burger, they should bring you ample napkins without having to ask because it is very messy trying to eat them. For two burgers with fries, one small mac & cheese, and three beers (one regular and two nonalcoholic) before tip the bill was over $80. Now, if the food was top-tier fantastic, I would say fine but being that it was more middle of the road it's a bit pricey.

It's a Friday night and their advertised hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 am until 9 pm with Friday and Saturday closing at 10 pm. We decided to go at 9 fully expecting the dining room to be open since the hours are clearly posted and we arrived an hour before closing. To my surprise, we walked in and someone who I'm assuming is the manager looks our way and says to the hostess that they're only doing takeout. He clearly made that decision as we walked in. The dining room was empty except one couple who hadn't received their food yet. I could understand if it were 30 mins before, but an hour means you should just close at 9 pm everyday. A couple walked in minutes after us and were also given this information, but decided to leave instead of order. I did, however, order for my son since I opted out and he was looking forward to eating here. This was not how I expected to celebrate my son's birthday but was forced to even though they had roughly eight people "working" and were unable to accommodate three. This really left a feeling of disdain that I can't shake. I have no desire to patronize this establishment in the future as I was not welcomed during business hours this time. Hopefully this is a learning experience and they'll choose to service customers within reason.

Nothing aesthetically has changed in the decorations, it is still so cute and so pink in there. The food on the other hand was 100% better. I am a snob for a burger so when I saw their options I decided to go simple to really get a taste of the burger. I was so impressed with the flavor and the quality. A lot of burgers don't have much flavor but this make your own double patty burger with cheese was overflowing with flavor. After visiting at the end of January and ordered takeout in early February and was still so blown away at the quality and the care that was put in to even a take out order. The fries were phenomenal as well. They are pretty close to being shoelace fries and with the bowl you get two signature sauces of your choosing.

You order your food at the counter and are given a # for your table for the food to be delivered to you. In my opinion, the speed of service was inconsistent. My dine-in order took quite a while to come out, but the to-go order placed at least 15 minutes afterwards was delivered within a few minutes of the dine-in order. The menu is simple, but still offers a nice variety of options. I ordered the Swissy That Walk burger sans mushrooms. I also ordered the Baked Potato Fries with jalapenos added to be shared with another member of our party. The burger was DE-licious! The fries could have benefited from a more generous helping of the toppings. They have a bar with the options to make your shakes boozy. They also offer Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC cocktails. An addition to the regular fountain beverages, they also offer a couple of mocktails and NA beer, I believe. The restaurant itself is very cute. It reminds me of a 1950's soda fountain re-imagined. I would return for the burgers, but most likely to-go.
