Overall we had a pretty good experience at the Eagle. I would say the menu is limited for food/appetizers but the prices are very reasonable. Our service was fast and we came for the Eras Tour so we thought it would be super crazy to get a reservation but they were very accommodating. We were able to push back our reservation since we were running late. The restaurant is also very spacious. Highlights for me were the blackberry lemonade cocktail and the mac n cheese. read more

In my opinion, this is the best fried chicken around! The hot honey is a must-try. The sides were solid, and the service was great. We sat outside on a beautiful day, busy as usual, but we were seated right away. The only downside to outdoor seating is the occasional sewer smell due to the location. Still, a great experience overall! read more

The chicken was delicious and the hot honey was very tasteful. I selected dark meat, my favorite, and I don't think the chicken was freshly cooked, it was a little tough. The sides were excellent, the collards and sweet potatoes with mini- marshmallows were excellent. Our waitress, Francis was attentive, friendly and professional. read more

Food and drinks here were solid. Got a chicken sandwich myself and some fries, no complaints. Run of the mill prices, pretty reasonable. I'd go back. read more

This is a restaurant I'd visit again and again if I lived in Indianapolis. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the mac & cheese was excellent, and the spoon bread was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Our server was very attentive and checked on us multiple times. This restaurant will be my first stop the next time I visit Indy! read more

The Eagle Mass Ave - Spoonbread, Mac & Cheese, 1 Whole Chicken - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

My husband and I ordered takeout on a Saturday night. The order was ready and waiting at the host stand at the time they said it would be. When picking up, I was greeted promptly and was able to quickly pick up my food. I live about 15 minutes away and the food was still hot when I ate it. I always get the Kale Salad here. It is simply delicious. I'm not the biggest "salad girl" but I love this one! I also had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It very good. Not too spicy, but had a flavor to it. The slaw on top is good. My husband and I got a side of Mac and Cheese to share as well. The size is appropriate for sharing. We both really enjoy this here. Pretty cheesy and the breadcrumbs on top is a nice touch. read more

A cute, easy, clean place in downtown Indy that won't break the bank. We sat at the bar near the outside patio area and were helped by the really nice bartender. The menu is straight forward. We ordered the 5 legs, a small southern chopped salad, and the grits. The legs had SUCH a great flavor and they came with a delicious hot honey. The southern chopped salad was fresh and perfectly dressed. The grits were the star of the show. Spicy, full of juicy shrimp, and just really really good flavor. Definitely recommend. Though, to elevate my experience, I would've loved my draft beer to have been colder and out of a cold glass. All around, a GREAT experience here. read more

The Eagle Mass Ave - 5 chicken legs, small southern copped salad, grits - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great spot for southern food at an affordable price in Indy. The ambience is warm and cozy with an intimate feeling while also offering the opportunity to meet new people at your table. This place has something for everyone with great grilled cheese to fries chicken sandwiches! Cocktails are great and we love their Bloody Mary! Service is usually good. Still butthurt that they did away with the Apple coleslaw sloppy Joe read more

I have a mixed review, the shrimp and grits were so amazing we could NOT get enough of it 10/10!! The corn bread was good like always but the rest of the food was mediocre (not in a mean way just basic/bland), the chicken 7/10 bland taste, good texture though, the Mac 4.5/10, greens 2/10 very bland, sweet potatoes 2/10 not a fan at all. After the shrimp and grits (which is a side btw) everything else seemed to be a let down. Try those grits it is solely because of them I am leaving this with four stars, so good!! The service was good and atmosphere was peaceful. read more

There is a caveat that I am from the southern US area, however this food was not great. All the dishes were bland, dry and not hot. The service was fine, and the place was clean, but it seemed like they wanted to have a higher level of drinks and service without upping their food quality read more

The service was really good. Portions are kinda small but the taste was delicious. Husband had the burnt ends which were delicious and the Mac n cheese was yummy. read more

This Mac and cheese was to die for!! You can tell it's homemade with lots of difference cheeses. The chicken also reminded me of Nashville hot which was just delicious. Very affordable for the quality of food too. I also highly recommend eating on the patio on Mass Ave. read more

I don't know if this place is a local secret but this is one of the best Mac n cheese/ spoon bread I've ever had! Really old school and very traditional in the best way. This place was not super busy. I can honestly see why this was recommended to us. If you are the type that can't get a little messy while eating - then this isn't the place for you. Although I would still say give it shot!! Such a cool experience and loved every minute of it. Only missing out was the draft beer system was down or something. Everyone's laughing and eating and having such a great time. The restaurant as a whole just gives you giant family reunion vibes while grandmas cooking in the kitchen . Amazing restaurant and would highly recommend the Mac and cheese. It was slap the cook - head shaking while eating it so good. I will definitely return when I return! Respectfully, Bryan Smith Oklahoma City read more

The food is incredible here. They have surprisingly inclusive options if you have dietary restrictions! Their appetizers are amazing, particularly the hushpuppies and sweet potatoes. If you have a craving for Southern cooking, I would absolutely make the drive. The hostess and our server were both very kind and attentive. We were initially placed on a wait by the hostess, so we walked down the street and came back when they texted us. I appreciate this system, since they don't have a lobby to sit and wait. They're located in a nice area that is very walkable, so we didn't mind the wait at all. Although it was busy and we could tell our server was taking care of several other tables, she still made sure our drinks were full at all times. read more

A friend of mine told me about this place ahead of time. We went on a chilly night, and it started to rain as our food was delivered. And it took 10 minutes to get inside. Food was hefty! Potatoes were great, but Mac was really heavy. Hard to get through. Wish we got to sit inside. Overall okay. read more

We were seated right away and the ambiance reminds me of a college local hangout. Absolutely love it. The service was fast and wonderful. The food was delicious. My only truly complaint is that the burnt ends were dry and a little tough. Parking is city parking. We will be back and bring others to enjoy the fried chicken and beat fries in Indy!!! read more

This is my go to comfort food spot. Always hits the spot no matter what you order. Their Mac and cheese slaps, the greens slap, the fries are fire, and the fried chicken is delectable. I always get the spoon bread, Mac and cheese, fried chicken, fries, and a root beer. It's honestly hard not to just say, "I'll get everything on the menu!" Make sure to have a friend help you from your chair, you will be immensely full and not want to leave. Food baby for real, this is a big back activity spot! The service is friendly, quick, and happy. The vibes are warm and homie. Drive or take an uber cuz you will want to nap post eating. read more

I love fried chicken and this place had excellent fried chicken. We had the chicken dip and it was just ok. The mac and cheese side as well as the biscuits were excellent. Drinks were good as well. I wish the menu had a bit more options. Don't come here unless you want fried chicken. read more

After having a less than stellar experience at another establishment where we'd gone for food, we decided to hop in to the Eagle for drinks on a Tuesday around 4pm. It wasn't too busy but there was a din. The service was friendly and the drinks were BIG from their cocktail menu. The prices of the drinks were very reasonable for the price, and I could tell mine was delightfully strong. So I recommend this place for some good drinks. We are definitely going to go back for some food next time, as their food looked and sounded really good. read more

We were welcomed and sat on the patio. Our drink order was taken. The BLT with grilled chicken was delicious. It was flavorful all the way through. The greens were robust with flavor. The mashed were creamy and the gravy was yummy. The grilled cheese was unique, I think it needed to be a little more melted. The grits had a pop of something making them u pique. The spoonbread was DELICIOUS. This melted in your mouth and was like a warm dessert. read more

I was recommended to come out and try their chicken sandwich, and I'm glad I did! The chicken was very moist and crispy, the sauce was great and I liked the coleslaw & spicy pickle on top. I also ordered the collard greens & spoonbread for my sides (was not a combo with the chicken sandwich). The greens were great and the spoonbread was good too, it was new to have actual corn side the cornbread but it was good! I came at a mellow time where it wasn't really busy, just a few folks at the bar and a few couples at some tables. It wasn't too loud and they had a good variety of things to watch on tv besides sports. The service was a kind of iffy, everyone was nice and my food came out at a reasonable time. The iffy part was getting seated, which I felt bad for slightly interrupting the conversation between the host and the manager to ask if it was best to sit at the bar or if I needed to wait for a waiter to seat me. After being seated I had to ask for a menu but other than that everything was good! read more

Am I eating my leftovers for breakfast? Yes! I can't believe I'm just now experiencing The Eagle.The mac and cheese with fried chicken covered in hot honey is mouth watering. All the sides are delicious our table got an array to split between the biscuits, sweet potatoes and corn bread and it was the best way to go because they all were hitting the southern comfort spot. If you're on mass Ave deciding where to go we highly recommend swinging into The Eagle! Service was great and food came out quickly. Cheers! read more

The food was absolutely good! I ordered the chicken BLT sandwich, with their Mac and cheese, and biscuits with raspberry jam. My friends chose their collard greens, pork burnt ends, skillet cornbread and sweet potatoes with marshmallows. I sampled everything except the pork burnt ends and it was delicious! My friend loved their pork and didn't share so it must have been tasty lol. The service was great and we ended the night with peach jalapeno margaritas read more

Great atmosphere. The food was awesome and the waitress was really nice. Definitely, will go back again for my birthday coming up.

This is one of my favorite places in Indy to get fried chicken! It's juicy, seasoned perfectly and doesn't leave my fingers slathered in grease. We stopped in here on a Saturday evening. The hostesses were very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked up. While they were busy, we really didn't have to wait that long for a table for our party of four. Once we were seated, it took very little time for our server to come to our table. We all started with drinks. My husband and I both got 3 Floyds Zombie Dust while our friends had cocktails. For our meal, my husband and I shared the 1/2 chicken with our fave sides, the spoonbread and mac & cheese with bacon and shrimp. The spicy honey compliments the slightly sweet spoonbread perfectly, and the mac & cheese is so cheesy and creamy. We also had a second round of beers. Our friends loved their meals and drinks as well. Our server was attentive and friendly, even with the restaurant being so busy. Our food came out fairly quickly too. I always look forward to our next visit to The Eagle! read more

FANTASTIC! I have always wanted to go here but it is always so busy and I am normally with a group of people when I go downtown. However, at lunch it was relatively easy to get in, especially because we only had 2 people. We got a half chicken to share between the two of us. We then also got French fries and Mac and cheese. The fried chicken was possibly the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. It was really flavorful, juicy and delicious. The fries had a ton of herbs and seasoning on them and came with aioli to dip them in! They were really good. The mac and cheese was also good. It was extremely thick. I wish it was a slightly bit thinner. Loved the bread crumbs on the top. Service was 10/10 and the atmosphere was also great, read more

I was in town for work and after a super long day, I was looking forward to ordering some take out and relaxing in my hotel room. That's when I did a search for delivery and to my surprise The Eagle popped up. Now I'm from Columbus, Ohio which has had The Eagle since 2016 and it happens to be a block from my apartment, so I'm familiar with their menu and know what my favorite items are. I was immediately sold and placed an order for their kale salad, a side of mac and cheese, and their hush puppies. It arrived quickly and it was exactly what I expected. That's a good sign, as they're consistent across the board. The mac and cheese here is incredible. It's a five cheese blend and topped with bread crumbs to give it that crunch. Seriously, you have to try it if you're a mac and cheese fan. The kale salad is also fire. It comes with bourbon soaked raisins, cornbread croutons, sharp cheddar, and a cider vinaigrette. They offer a half portion and a whole portion and both are affordable. The whole option will definitely fill you up. The hush puppies have corn, jalapeno, cheddar, and come with a slightly spicy "comeback sauce" as they like to call it. They were fried to perfection! As a vegetarian you might think that ordering from a spot known for their fried chicken is odd, but trust me, it hits the spot! read more

I truly enjoying eating at the Eagle. I've been several times and each time I enjoy it. The chicken has a really good spice combination on it. The Mac n cheese keeps me coming back! The fries are also quite delicious. I ordered shrimp and grits which was also really good but the chicken is keeps us returning! Park on the street it has meters. The ambiance is chill and laid back. read more

Went here on the recommendation of a friend while in visiting. It was good but nothing amazing in my opinion. I think the prices were a little too steep. The half chicken was really tasty & flavorful but for $16 I didn't leave feeling like I ate much. My girlfriend & I shared the two meals together. The salad was drenched with way too much thyme ranch dressing that it was a little unappetizing to an extent. Tasty but just didn't allow you to enjoy the chicken as much. read more

The Eagle Mass Ave - Menu June 2023 - American Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were told it would be about 45mins for a table for two- but only ended up being about 20mins. We were taken to our table, and promptly greeted by our server, and a trainee he was teaching. We ordered drinks, and they were brought out quickly. I ordered a blackberry lemonade- mid for what it was, but for the price, I couldn't beat how much alcohol was in it haha. At this time of night, the place was packed, and was pretty loud- but to be expected when there were that many people in there. I was still able to hold a conversation with my wife across the table. My wife and I both ordered the chicken sandwiches, and decided to split the cole slaw, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese. She also ordered the kale salad. Overall reviews of the food are: -Kale salad (according to my wife) 9/10- delicious -Cole slaw- 3/10- definitely wasn't my thing, had a weird flavor to it that I haven't experienced in a cole slaw before - Mashed potatoes- 9/10- horseradish in them is a nice touch -mac and cheese- 9/10- love the breadcrumbs on top -chicken sandwich- 9/10- delicious Overall, I would give this place a 4.75/5 stars, but I always like to round up rather than round down :) read more

Not sure why this has such great reviews on yelp. Maybe it was fantastic and few years ago and the large amount of positive reviews are balancing out the mediocre ones. This place was just "ok" . My kids got the fried chicken which was cooked well but the breading was chewy and kind of soft? Not a texture I'm accustomed to with fried chicken. I got a grilled chicken sandwhich, got 2/3 in and realized it was undercooked and what was left was pink, didn't complain but just stopped eating it at that point. Sides were good, service was fine. Homeless man wandered onto the patio and asked if he could bum a cigarette off us while we waited for a check so that added to the ambiance. read more

Quickly seated for lunch. Delicious craft beer options. We enjoyed Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds. For lunch we ordered the 1/2 chicken, 1/2 kale salad and fries. Kids shared grilled cheese with fries. Loved the hot honey with the chicken plus the cornbread croutons on the salad. Would definitely return. read more

We stumbled into this place while visiting Indy and it was AMAZING! The hostess at the front not only was great but as I left the restaurant she called me by name! That was impressive. The food was NEXT level. The fried chicken was great but the serving it with spicy honey forever change the way I'll eat fried chicken. The hush puppy appetizer was incredible and the Mac and Cheese was next level. The sides are ordered to share family style. Our server Raley was so helpful and attentive. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Indy and wanting southern comfort food! The vibe is in a very cool part of downtown and the atmosphere is very trendy and laid back casual. read more
