    Ralph's is the kind of place that feels like home--even if it's your first time there. Just outside the Bottleworks district, this little dive keeps things simple in the best way: comfort food, a full bar, and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to strike up a conversation with a stranger or catch up with old friends. Oh, and I have to mention the pea salad--yummy! The back patio is a great spot to hang out, and there's often live music, adding just the right touch. The service is always friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

    Half Hot Pot Pig (aka PIG) Soup and sandwich

    I was very surprised by how great my experience at Ralph's Great Divide was. I was invited by a friend who is becoming a regular here and I had high hopes coming in. The service, especially from Jennifer, was great and she kept up with all of our needs throughout dinner. I ordered the hot pot pig potato soup and it was the best potato soup I have ever had. I also got a toasted turkey sandwich which was so fresh and the fries were hot and crispy, a must try. Plus there was a rotating display of desserts and that chocolate cake was rich and smooth and delicious. I have to come back here!

    This was a fun place to try. Thanks to the contributors on Reddit for directing me here. I absolutely had to try the pig Aug (which I finally learned was au gratin) and it was good. It was a little on the salty side but the baked cheese and ham on top were excellent. I enjoyed it. The loaded nachos were fair, but it was with chili with beans instead of a Mexican meat which is not normally how we have nachos in the southwest. Still, the whole wheat chips were yummy. The cake was perfect. Light and tasty, letting the toffee be sweet instead of overdoing the sugar. The staff were super friendly. The restaurant has fun old decorations and some card games to play. The others with me had sandwiches and burgers which were fairly standard. Definitely try the soup.

    This is definitely a dive bar in the shadow of downtown Indy. They have a decent patio when the weather is better. We thought we could give it a try as we were downtown. I ordered the lunch special, half sandwich and side and ordered a cup of soup to go with it. The soup was called Hot Pot Pig, it was a creamy potato soup with bacon, pepper jack, and cheddar. I ordered German Potato Salad and a Chicken Salad Sandwich on whole wheat toast. Chicken salad was really good and the bread was nicely toasted. The German potato salad may have been the tangiest German potato salad I have had, maybe a touch too much vinegar. The pig soup was fine and cheesy but I probably would not order again just because I am not too big on cheese soups. I asked for a boozy but slightly sweet drink and they came up with something for me, a Captain Morgan and pineapple base, it was good. Our waitress was super friendly and lunch was reasonable at 23.83 prior to the tip. Good little spot to stop at for a quick bite when you are downtown Indy. Plenty of parking next to and behind the building.

    Tenderloin Sandwich

    First time visit and I was amazed. I chose the breaded tenderloin and it was fantastic (more than I could finish). The cook came out to check on me which was nice. I paired it with a new item they just recently started selling, Carbliss Vodka drink Black Cherry. It has a lot of flavor to it. Small cozy place with friendly staff. They have outdoor patio when the weather gets warmer. I'll definitely be back soon

    I haven't been here since it was called Ralph's Great Divide (it's just The Great Divide Now). You come here for the hot pot aug (potato soup) or hot pot pig (potato soup with ham). That's all you need to know.

    Great Surprise!! I've driven past this little dive so many times but we couldn't find parking at another location and saw how busy it was and decided to give it a try! It was wonderful!! The place was full of happy people, a piano player filled the space. The waitress was friendly and service was fast! Best potato soup I've ever had! Everything was very affordable and we can't wait to go back!

    What a hidden gem this place is! Happened to meet a couple guys at at Sun King and they recommended this spot. It's literally right around the corner. When we walked in we were greeted right away! And bonus- they had a band playing. They were really good too. They had the lights stringing all around and the beautiful trees were shading the patio it was just so nice. I never made it inside so can't speak to that. They have a menu that primarily consists of sandwiches, salads, finger foods. I ordered a turkey sandwich (cold cut) which was really good. It came with a side of your choice and I picked side salad. They don't have French fries btw. The service was great, the people were extremely friendly and I really had a great time. Totally in my rotation now.

    See all
