There is a small group of us that have been meeting here for lunch every Thursday for the last three years. The food is amazing! None of us have ever had a bad meal here and between all of us, we have probably had almost everything on the menu. Both Rayann (the server) and Omar (the owner) are super friendly and make us feel like family. I highly recommend the Good Spot to anyone looking for a local place, with great food! read more

Food was fire - every bite! Waitress took care of us, felt like we were welcomed guests in their home. 12 traditional wings & Hog Wings (special) both were great. The baked beans (also special) were best baked beans I've had. Had me feeling like dancing after every bite. Will be back! read more

First, they only take credit cards - no cash! The Good Spot has a great neighborhood bar vibe. The seating is comfy and tables are clean. TV monitors play were playing basketball, of course. Rayann, our server, was fun and energetic. She gave us the low down on the menu. Water came out quickly. I had the Shrimp Po Boy with fries, at Rayann's recommendation. The shrimp are huge and juicy with a light breading. The fries are perfectly crispy with a light breading. My husband had the daily special, Philly Cheesesteak with onion rings. He raved about that sandwich the rest of the day. He lived the beef and mushrooms! The onion rings are a winner, too! My only gripe was that the floors were sticky. I hate sticky floors and there's no excuse, since we were the first customers of the day. Otherwise, we had a great meal and service was perfect! We'll be back. Parking is limited in their lot but there is adjacent street parking. There are a few tables outside, too, where you can have your dog. A ramp inside makes the place totally accessible. They offer a table full of games if you want to sit and play. read more

Wings are my favorite food, period. While I'm not exactly picky on how they are prepared, I have strong opinions on what makes a good wing or not. Hometown is Jacksonville, FL; lived in Atlanta for several years--my point being, I have had outstanding wings over the years. I preface this way because The Good Spot has the best wings in Indianapolis, and probably the best in the state. The quality of the chicken is very high and undeniable when you take the first bite (the marrow doesn't lie either). I had 6x three-pepper hot and 6x buffalo garlic, and The Good Spot nailed the light breading-to-sauce ratio (very rare to see). They remind me of how classic Hooters wings used to taste in the 90s, but honestly they might be better. The sauces are flavorful as hell while bringing plenty of heat, and frankly I got two pretty standard flavors. They have a wide range of sauces available on the menu (including Vindaloo) and I'm looking forward to trying more. These wings are of a substantial size with enough breading to trap the flavor and moisture, and the cook on the chicken itself was literally perfect. I don't have enough good things to say about my plate of 12. My wife, daughter and I moved to a nearby neighborhood recently, and it's music to my ears that The Good Spot welcomes families. We will certainly be coming up to watch some basketball over dinner and drinks as we get into March Madness. Finally, the owner is incredibly attentive to detail--directly involved in the food prep and service, and clearly takes pride in the quality of the food served at his establishment. My server/bartender was outstanding as well, providing great recommendations and information as I navigated the menu. I'm fairly new to town, but I've tried a lot of wings in Indy already. Ale Emporium has a big following here, not undeserved, but the wings at The Good Spot are better--no doubt in my mind. read more

The building sits on the corner. They have a parking lot but I parked on the street. I was greeted when I walked in. The waitress was very polite. I placed a to go order. I was excited that they offered vegetarian options. I ordered the vegan Philly cheese steak and chili cheese fries with vegan chili. I was hesitant to eat it because it smelled like real meat but I was assured that it was the vegetarian option. Being that I haven't eaten meat in over 10 years, you could see why I was a little nervous eating this. The fries didn't look like regular chili cheese fries. It was meat and no chili. The food was made to order so it was hot and fresh. It was definitely flavorful. I'd definitely go back to support this business but will opt for something else. read more

What an incredible gem! We had the impossible wings with lemon pepper and the fiery honey garlic sauce and the vegetarian cheesesteak. Everything was so delicious and Shayla was incredible. Can't wait to come here again! The place is cute with lots of games. Honestly the chairs were so comfy too! read more

Wanted to try new restaurant that has been here for awhile. Called in an order to try. Was not disappointed! The special was traditional wings 12 for $12. Several flavors to choose from. We ordered buffalo hot and garlic parm. They were amazingly delicious. Filling as well. Don't sleep on this place. The food is incredible. Small little tucked away joint on the east side is definitely a hit. Just a heads up no cash accepted. They do close on Sunday and Monday. They also have a dining room with card and board games if you got time and that's you thing. I will be back for sure. read more

We were looking for a new place to eat and stumbled across this amazing spot. I was a little skeptical at first but once we opened the door all of that went away. The restaurant is so clean and bright on the inside. The people that work there were helpful and friendly. The food was freshly made and came out piping hot. We will definitely be back. They have so much more on the menu I need to try read more

My friends and I stopped in here for lunch the other day and had fun together, but it was mixed reviews about our visit. We arrived shortly after they opened and only one other table was seated (two women who parked and walked in right before us). The bar tender/server told us to sit wherever we liked. We sat and looked over the QR code menu for some time before she came over and brought us real menus and asked what we wanted to drink. I asked if they had any Prosecco and she said no and didn't elaborate on anything similar they may have, so I asked what they did have and she went and got us a drink menu. They have a cocktail called The Aya that has brut champagne in it, so I was a little confused why that wasn't offered as an alternative to no Prosecco. One friend and I each ordered that since we love French 75s and that seemed to be the Good Spot's take on it. The drink was quite good, also strong, but came out in a rocks glass with a bunch of ice which was super weird. For food, I ordered a double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, one friend ordered a double cheeseburger and seasonal veggies, and my other friend ordered a flatbread. The flatbread came out 10+ minutes before the cheeseburgers, so she awkwardly waited until our food came out before eating because she didn't want to be rude. It took an hour for the food to come out in general, which again was strange because we were the second table seated and more people started coming in later on, well after our food order was put in. When it came time to pay I saw that our cocktail we ordered was $19! Absolutely insane for a dive bar. The food was good, the cocktail was good, but the price point on the cocktail was way too high and the wait time was too long. I think they are probably better to stop in for dinner and beers, so I would come back again to see if that's a better experience. read more

I'm conflicted with this review. Did a to-go order. I came for the Parmesan Garlic wings, but was given the wrong order so I have to review what I got. The wings are HUGE and very crispy. Top notch frying technique. It took 40 minutes to get my food, as they had a mix up in the kitchen, but the bartender was nice about it. The wings are very good, but I couldn't help but he disappointed that I had to wait so long and got the wrong food. read more

Found this place on Yelp so gave it a try. It is a NO CASH establishment. We ordered the fried pickles and we each got a Philly cheesesteak. The pickles were light and refreshing. The cheesesteak had good flavor and the bun was good. Just wish there was a tad more meat on it. The bartender/server was really friendly. The place had a few people flowing in and out. Good feel. read more

The fact that I haven't written a review before now, is shame on me! And if I have-it's ok because I love this place and I could write about it all day. One of Indy's hidden gems, the Good Spot is theee SPOT! A small place with a lot to offer, you won't be disappointed when you pull up a seat. This has become kinda our weekly spot for wings and things. Consistently delivering some of the best wings I've had in Indy. But don't stop there, try their burgers, their fried pickles, their tots, the pizza, their chocolate cake-anything on their menu is going to be delicious! I've had a variety of items and although we usually get wings, I haven't not loved everything I've tried. The owners know what they're doing here! The kitchen staff holds it down! Sarah our favorite server, knows our regulars! She knows what we're going to order before we get settled in our seats. The team makes us feel welcome every time we come in. I love the atmosphere here. You can grab a board game or a deck of cards to play while you're waiting for your food. Or pull up to the bar and watch one of three screens for games and chill. If you haven't been to The Good Spot, this is your time to go. Check it out and let me know what you think! A card only establishment, leave the cash at home. read more

We finally tried the Good Spot!! We have always rode past it but never landed on eating dinner there. We stay super close to there and heard great things from one of our friends. We tried the wings (they were a little bigger than I liked) and the buffalo salad. The salad was decent! The sauces on the wings were really good. We love that the hours are open late! Def helpful and we had good service that night. I thought it was super cute that they had board games and stuff in there. I'd say the music can turn up louder to make it more chill :) read more

Surprisingly quaint- the might look a little rough from the outside but the inside was clean, bright and cheerful. The menu was larger than traditional bar food and included all day breakfast. Service was attentive and both meals were even better than expected. The catfish Poboy was huge! The breakfast sandwich was unique and tasty with the addition of strawberry jalapenos jelly. Most definitely will return. read more

We accidentally stumbled on The Good Spot after a show at the Hi-Fi Annex and let me tell you, this is indeed a good spot!

I would love to come back, they have board games to play and a full bar, very welcoming atmosphere and decent prices! read more

Fantastic! The sauce & slaw used on the po boy made the difference. I hate Cole slaw but you can't have this sandwich without it. The flavor was unreal.

So attentive, great recommendations, quick to refill drinks, absolutely amazing service. Food was top notch! Philly was on special and 7 of us had it, awesome sandwich. Wings, onion rings, burgers, and kids pizza were all great as well. So fortunate to have stumbled upon this awesome spot! read more

We stumbled upon this place and this is the best hidden gem I have even found. Run don't walk to try this amazing local place out. Don't let the area discourage you. Its just mins from downtown. The inside is extremely clean and the chairs are comfy. It's quiet and not like your typical bar. The drinks are amazing. Gina makes the smoothest mixed drinks. You won't know your drinking alcohol but you will feel it. I got the guarantee and it taste like cherry sprite. Hubby got 2 beers one on tap and one in can and both were great. We wanted to try a little bit of everything Fried pickles aren't hand breaded but they are the closest thing to hand breaded you'll get. Try the G sauce it's spicy but so flavorful Chicken wings are the best I've ever had. They are crunchy yet saucy. They do not skimp on the sauce at all. We got flamin honey garlic and it was spicy but so good and flavorful. These wings had tons of meat on them Breaded tenderloin sandwich was delicious it was breaded just right and was huge. Came with lettuce tomato pickle and mayo. Would definitely get this again. Sweet potato waffle fries was my side and they are dusted with powdered sugar and they are like a dessert but so good. Smoked rib dinner 5 rib bones which were nothing but falling off the bone meat. They had a great smoke flavor and so tender. No bbq sauce is needed. Side were Mac and cheese and it was like your homemade Mac and cheese and the baked beans were the best beans I've ever had at a restaurant. Dessert we got choc raspberry cheesecake and salted caramel crunch cake. Both were really good. The Carmel cake was the best. It has a toffee like take to it. Everyone here is so friendly and carry on a conversation with you. It's like your eating at a family members house. It can't say enough good things about this place. We had plenty of leftovers as well. read more

Let me precede this by saying that I love a restaurant that gives you a warm feel. Like Cheers " where everybody knows your name" and this place gives me all the feels. When you pull up you could miss it if you're not looking up. It's very quaint, but the inside is super light with a full bar and chill ambiance. I also love a place that gives pub vibes but I can bring my kids. The food category is comfort because the menu is reasonably priced with lots of food. Great service and I've heard they had karaoke on Wednesdays. The bar is fully stocked and there are games to keep the kids occupied, like board games!!!!! I have visited twice and each time I have been so surprised by how great the food is, and it is Black owned and we love a minority owned business. read more

I had read someone's thoughts on how good this restaurant was, and on my continuing journey of exploring Indy, decided to go here for dinner. The building is on the corner in a mostly residential area. I get some anxiety walking into new places, and was a little anxious by the inability to see in the restaurant before entering. Once inside, I was impressed with how clean it was and the newer furnishings. I'd consider it a newer diner-type atmosphere. It wasn't busy and we were greeted immediately and told to choose any seat we'd like. We tried fried pickles I was impressed with their crispiness without being greasy. I tried the shrimp po'boy, which I've never had before. It had great flavor, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the portion was more than enough. It was dark when we left and I felt the parking lot could've been a little brighter for safety reasons (but note I'm a first time in my life urban dweller, so you may disagree with that assessment.) read more

I absolutely love this neighborhood restaurant! The food is great (homemade), prices are exceptional, and the service is unbeatable. Highly recommend! read more

Service was absolutely fantastic. The entire staff was so willing to help. Made me feel at home. The inside was absolutely gorgeous and clean. I mentioned something to the server and the customer to my right stated he is a regular and this place is consistently cleaned. The food is a great product for the value. Prices were so low for how good the food was. Definitely will return and recommend. read more

On Saturday my friend and I wanted to find a bar that was playing the WNBA game and we were happy to find out, they were playing it! It was quiet when we came in so our server was quick. She explained the menu as well as told us about the different activities the restaurant host. She talked me into getting the rib tips and I was not disappointed. The food was good! My only wish is that the portions for the sides were a little bigger. The wings were good - they're are actually fried then tossed in sauce. I wish my wings were a little wetter but not a big deal. The vibe was pretty chill and a decent sized spot. The drinks were good too - even if they are on the more expensive side. I'm happy to have found another Black owned spot and I can't wait to come back! read more

Ok, best chicken wings in Indy, hands down. You get tender, juicy, crispy big wings, perfectly seasoned with experience and love. You gotta try the Sweetest Taboo flavor, it's a whole delicious experience. In my few visits I've had the opportunity to also try their flatbread veggie pizza, cheeseburger with all the fixings, fries, and fried pickles. That said, all this stuff checks out as scrumptious good quality food made with love and attention to detail, so you can't go wrong with anything you order here. One day I'll get around to trying the biscuits and gravy and fried fish (amongst other comfort foods on the menu). I already know I'm going to be a regular here! I haven't even touched on their cocktail menu yet! All of the offerings are especially tempting, and the cocktail names are witty and cheeky. There's also a full bar, bottled beverages, and a few good beers on tap. The staff is on another level; you will feel welcome and amongst friends in this (good) spot ;) This is a place you can duck in alone for a beer and a cheeseburger and good conversation, or hang out with a group of folks. The vibe in this place is special and unique; the owners have really captured magic here. I almost don't want to post this review because I want to keep this place one of Indy's best secret spots- lol. read more

From the outside I wasn't sure if it was open but once inside...what a great place! Clean and well lit. My server, Rayann, was so sweet, knowledgeable and recommended several different options. I had that catfish po' boy which had coleslaw, dill pickle relish, diced tomatoes and a drizzle of Creole sauce that surprisingly wasn't spicy. I choose their fries to go with it and they were perfectly crispy and not over salty at all. Overall I highly recommend checking it out!!!! read more

I was excited to dine with Sigi's Matter of Taste Group. I enjoy meeting new people and her group changes every week meeting at different restaurants that are locally owned plus we had a great time. The Good Spot has only been open for three weeks and they handled our large group with expertise. The server and bartender were terrific with great personalities. Plates were removed quickly, drinks stayed full and the food and individual checks arrived timely. Omar Hasan, the owner, even came out after dinner to check on us and ask for suggestions from the group. The menu offers a large variety from breakfast to dinners all served from open to close. The Cocktail menu has fun names, and a wide variety plus draft beers are available. You'll find Loaded Tots, Smothered Nachos with Chili, Chicken Wings to delicious Hummus for a few of the Appetizers. Salads, excellent All-beef Chili Dogs, Chicago Dog, Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches, Flat Bread Pizzas, several types of Burgers, Catfish, Beef Tips, Tenderloin sandwiches to Beef Manhattans are just a few of the entree options. The Fries are wonderful but a larger portion would be appreciated. Also, 2 Catfish filets would be nice for the price of the dinner. Those are the only two suggestions we have after our first experience. The interior is immaculate with 4-top tables and a nice bar area. It has a 50's/contemporary style interior without all the old memorabilia. The exterior has been painted a nice charcoal gray and the entrance is on the side. The parking lot is a little rough and additional exterior lighting would be greatly appreciated but as I said, they've only been open for 3 weeks. We'll be back to check out other menu options. By the way, Omar, who served in the U.S. Navy, offers a 10% discount to the Military, EMS, and Police. Nice! read more

Sherman said the food here was really good; for real. So I wanted to see for myself. If I had to say one thing about this spot, my word would be wings!! I ordered the 18 count, choosing three sauces; garlic Parmesan, sweet chili & vandaloo. The garlic Parmesan was the best I've ever tasted!! It was the perfect combo of all ingredients. Superb!!! The Sweet Chili was serving. And the Vandaloo, which I named The Good Spot house sauce, was so yummy!!!! It gave me sweet and a little heat, but with an edge. And the wings are far from little in size. Six wings can easily fill you up. The loaded tater tots were good. My only suggestion would be that the jalapeños be diced up to cover all the tots along with the chili, cheese and bacon. I found myself taking some tots in other areas to get the toppings. I opted to switch it up with the Po'boy and do salmon instead of catfish or shrimp. I think I prefer my salmon paired other ways than with a Po'boy. I did however enjoy how all the sauces tasted together. Too much bread for me so I ended up eating the heart of the sandwich. The sandwich came with coleslaw on one side and a dill relish on the other. Then they added a yum yum sauce and another special sauce. Everything was prepared fresh. Sat at the bar. The whole establishment was clean. The lady who took my order was constantly cleaning and taking the proper precautions. She was able to answer my questions and keep me up to date with my food order. read more

We haven't had power for about 20 hours so we kind of had to go out to eat. To Yelp I went to find a new place to try. I found this place and there isn't anything bad about it. As soon as we walked in, Gina greeted us. It appears they went through a remodel. It looks very new inside. The chairs are comfortable lol. Gina was outstanding. She was so friendly. She makes a great Moscow mule. The food was so good. We got wings, sweet potato fries, tenderloin, Mac n cheese. The wings are so meaty. The sweet potato fries are so good with that powdered sugar on them. The tenderloin was the right size to meat and breading. The Mac n cheese was outstanding and the kind you find at a BBQ place. I will for sure go back. Gina said they do trivia on Tuesdays. I had a couple of Moscow mules. Gina said don't be mad cause their mule mugs haven't arrived yet. I wasn't mad. read more
