Review from Louisiana/Texas: First off the customer service was amazing!!! It was VERY welcoming!! I feel like it was my auntie cooking a meal for me!!! Secondly, the music and vibe was great! I was singing my all the R&B jams! Now for the most important part... the food!!!!! Listen, those FRIED BISCUITS WITH APPLE BUTTER!!! LORD JESUS!!! 10/10. We also ordered the fried fish and wings (crispy & fresh), Mac and cheese (creamy) greens (seasoned and just the right bite), and candied yams (just the right sweetness). The cornbread was also warm and delicious! Lastly, they gained two new customers for life! Y'all should know I'm not lying because no one would write a long review like this unless the food is GREAT! read more

The Grub House - Fried Biscuits and Apple Butter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Got the salmon croquette breakfast with scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. I've had this meal before and it was stellar. My cashier had excellent service and helped me decide between the toast or their fried biscuits and of course I went with the biscuits. The ambiance is casual and you can come as you are. Definitely glad I came through while in the area and look forward to coming back! read more

The food was simply okay. It wasn't bad, wasn't great. I don't even think I can muster up a full fledged review because that's how middle of the road it was. I will say that I could make the same meal at home for a lot less, and in less time. read more

I came here because someone recommended this place to me. I'm a diabetic with high blood pressure so I wanted to try the Grilled Turkey chops. It was 4:12pm on a Friday, I was ready & the lady told me, "We are only frying right now". Well, that spoiled my dinner, so I couldn't get anything to eat. First & last time going here. read more

I recently saw a news article about a The Grub House serving some of their popular dishes at Gainbridge Fieldhouse where the Pacers play. Recently found out that their restaurant was not far in the area where I worked. Today I decided to order lunch from here. I got a chicken Philly that was loaded with lettuce, tomato, bell pepper, mayo, and jalapeños with the side of half fries half fried okra. When I got there, a lady who introduced herself as the owner greeting me and ask me if she could help. That's all her that I had a call in order after I paid. She gave me my order and I went back to work. The food was steaming hot! I immediately went for the fries that were cooked to perfection and the okra was just as good. My chicken philly was good. I loved the bread they used. The chicken well seasoned. I have been trying to cut back on salt at home so the seasoning kind of kicked my taste buds lol but that did not diminish the chance of me finishing my Philly. I'd like to go back and try some other menu items. read more

We stopped at this neighborhood joint for lunch on a very hot summer day while we were in Indianapolis for a wedding. The air conditioning was very welcome and the interior was clean. The vibes are very, very hole-in-the-wall. But the reviews were good and the prices were cheaper than other restaurants in the vicinity so we tried out 2 offerings from their sandwich section, and hoped we could at least try to make healthy choices... Spoiler alert - our attempts at healthy failed. I ordered a crispy pork tenderloin sandwich with a side of fries while my boyfriend ordered a catfish po'boy with a side of fried okra and a grub drink (Kool aid). They were out of yams, my original plan for a side, so I impulsively got fries. They were basic so I should have chosen a different side, something more authentically soul. Or healthy!!! Lol whoops! Our wait was about 10 minutes so we chatted and thought about tagging them on social media to get a free side of fried biscuits, but decided against it for the sake of our health! (Looking back, we should have done this anyway). We grabbed our food from the counter and ate at a table inside. About 5 or 6 people came in and out to pick up to-go orders. No one else dined in. But we can see why this is a popular carryout spot! The food was sooooo good! Normally, I'd scoff at a slice of Kraft cheese on top of anything, but it was yummy on top of my MASSIVE portion of crispy pork tenderloin. The honey sauce was so good and I'm glad they forgot to put it on the side, like I originally asked. It added a sweetness to this fried sandwich I really enjoyed. My boyfriend was happy with his side of fried okra and hasn't met a fried catfish po' boy he hasn't liked. He didn't finish his kool aid but they gave him a lot so that's just fine. I am not local to Indy, so I don't know when I'll be back next, but I'd happily give my recommendation to anyone looking for a hearty, soul food meal in northern Indianapolis! Our meal also came out to around $30, which isn't too terrible. read more

2 stars. Disappointing. I patronized the food truck and was very disappointed by the quality of the Mac n cheese. I asked if it was a southern-style baked Mac n cheese or something more akin to a kraft stir-it-up-type and was told it's "baked and seasoned like what you would have at thanksgiving". Sounds good, doesn't it? (The lady cooking responded with less kindness and a bit of annoyance by saying, "it's Mac n cheese...ion know what else to tell you. I should've taken that as the correct answer! My fault.) Well, the noodles were mushy. Overcooked. Like, feed a baby mushy. And the flavor was giving microwave Kraft or velveeta type stuff. No cows or chickens were harmed in the making of this side dish because no real cheese nor any egg was used. Not inedible, but def not delicious. I chose to not to waste calories on food I didn't enjoy. So, I stopped after three bites. Not worth the $5. Wouldn't recommend unless you fancy a nice bowl of microwave Mac n cheese. Since they didn't pass the sides test, I am not willing to spend money on the proteins. read more

We had the Grub House food truck at our company cookout. They were there on time and ready to serve. The fried catfish is always a favorite and they had a vegetarian option for the burger. They were great to work with and had delicious options. read more

Stopped by on recommendation from a friend and will definitely be back sooner than later. The owners were there and fixing the food and they were so kind and attentive to us. The took our order and brought it to our table piping hot. The catfish was true southern style and exactly what we were looking for. The sides were all delicious too and it's clearly they are homemade and fresh. The owner was kind enough to bring some of the cinnamon treats over to our table just to be kind. The atmosphere was great, nice soft music playing and was very comfortable. We are already planning our next visit! read more

$4 for an iced tea and it's just Milo's sweet tea poured into a styrofoam cup filled with ice chips. The ice was cold at least

Friendly service with amazing food. Especially loved the cornbread. Probably the best I've ever had.

I was very excited to visit this place and they did not disappoint. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner and they also do catering. There is free parking in front of the restaurant and there is a free lot to park around the corner. It is a very cool and hip place with a nice vinyl mural covering the dining area wall. The dining area is a decent sized but does not have any tables. There is only bar seating and stools. They have nice smooth R&B music playing throughout the dining area. I fit the vibe. The woman working was very friendly and welcoming. I felt like I knew her. They offer some delicious food that includes breakfast sandwiches, chicken and waffles, salmon, catfish, wings, shrimp. and burgers. I ordered a catfish poboy with a side of onion rings and peach cobbler, and it took about 15 minutes for me to get my food. It was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful. The catfish was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. I took the cobbler home and ate it later. I heated up in the microwave for a minute and a half, per the restaurant's recommendation and It was darn good. Also, I highly recommend their punch to drink. It was some of the best Kool-Aid that I have had. If you have not been here yet, I highly recommend checking this place out. If you have been here then you know what I am talking about and need to go back soon. read more

I will definitely visit this place again. Everything I had was seasoned well, especially the fish. How did I not know about this place. I am always on the hunt for good catfish and I have now found it in Indianapolis. read more

Nice basic breakfast with a slight twist. We both got the deep-fried French Toast Croissant with eggs, bacon and cheese. I took mine apart and ate the French toast alone. It had a great cinnamon flavor, very soft and fluffy. The bacon was just right with the eggs and cheese. Interior has a cool mural and mirrors to make it look bigger. Everyone was very friendly. read more

To start off this was the first time coming to the restaurant and the customer service was poor. Came to pick up food I ordered online and put the order under my fiancé name. While waiting for the food to get bagged I asked if they had mild sauce because I like sauce on the side. Got mistaken for a DoorDash driver and was told in a stern way that "we not no jj chicken and fish spot. our food dont need no mild sauce. Did the person ordering ask for mild sauce?" I said no I'm just asking if yall have any. Wasn't a good customer service experience. Owners called to apologize explaining they thought I was the driver but why be rude to the driver even if that's the case. read more

This was my first time trying The Grub house. I saw them featured on an influencers channel. I had a taste for a loaded potato. I ordered from DoorDash. The order arrived and initially looked good. I took a couple bites out of the potato and was immediately disgusted when I found a black hair resembling pubic hair in my potato. I reported this to DoorDash but couldn't to the restaurant as they already closed for the day. I now sit here a few hours later with what feels like food poisoning nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach. Highly disappointed! read more

When I say my husband and I were sooo excited about their vegan options and the food was EVERYTHING! The customer service was ***** as well. I have been sharing with my family and now I have found my weekly date spot. This is so important to me because a lot of restaurants advertise vegan and plant based but when I read the ingredients and preparation it does not meet the standar. I am grateful for The Grub House and wish you much success. The Tyler's read more

First off, it's important to note that despite reports to the otherwise The Grub House is, in fact, open. I've always been curious about this restaurant at 20th and College. It looks like a comfort food joint. It's in a rather non-descript, somewhat divey building but I tend to love just this type of restaurant. My experience, however, is with delivery as I decided to take a day off work and ended up using a delivery gift card a friend had provided. I checked out my options and was delighted to see The Grub House as one of them. It does appear from social media that The Grub House went through a period of inactivity, however, I'm excited to report that it's back in action and the food itself was comfort food extraordinaire. I ordered a Grub Burger combo with a Sweet Tea. I was delighted that the burgers are made to order and I was even more delighted when my burger arrived medium well as I had ordered. The burger was a decent size burger and it was awesomely prepared. I also ordered Grub Fries. These fries were absolutely delightful. They're uniquely made and perfectly seasoned. It's not the easiest thing in the world to prepare food for delivery, however, I was pleased that my food was still warm when it arrived at my south Lawrence home. The sweet tea definitely hit the spot, as well. I definitely don't know the full scoop behind The Grub House, but I do know that's where I had an absolutely delightful lunch today and I won't hesitate to order from them or drop by their College Avenue location again. The Grub House is a true Indy indie business with comfort food that really hits the spot. read more

Worst biscuits and gravy I've had in my life. Those 2 dried out sausage patties were cold. The biscuits had a funky taste. This was literally the worst breakfast I have ever paid for. $4 for 2oz of eggs. So disappointed. Will never go back. Zero stars but it wouldn't let me leave 0 read more

This place does not adhere to sanitation requirements of the culinary industry. Every time I come there, the staff preparing the food are not wearing gloves, long nails, hair uncovered, And the cashier is also handling food while taking money and not once have I observed them coming near a sink to wash their hands. They are on the phone touching everything then coming back and touch the food. Their hygiene practices are horrible. This is not your home but a restaurant. What is done at home (lack of gloves etc) is not acceptable. Just nasty!!!!!! read more
