    Fish & Chips
    Sydney T.

    My husband and I love checking out local breweries, and this was another one we were excited to cross off our list! We tried the Summer Shandy, which was crisp, refreshing, and everything you'd expect from a great summer beer, along with the Lacto Kooper--a fruity sour with a fun green hue. Both were solid choices and a great way to sample what they have to offer. For lunch, my husband ordered the fish and chips, one of their featured gluten-free favorites. The fish was flaky, flavorful, and surprisingly light for a fried dish. I went with the Foodoo Burger and upgraded to fries. While I probably wouldn't pay the extra $2 for the fries again since they were just okay, the burger itself was delicious. The house-made Cajun ranch absolutely stole the show and tied everything together. The atmosphere was quirky and fun, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. We were honestly surprised they only had two servers/bartenders covering a busy Friday lunch, but they handled it incredibly well and kept everything running smoothly. While it may not become one of our regular spots, we had a great overall experience and are glad we stopped in!

    6.16.26 checking out my recent past reviews as I have now been here 4 times in the last couple of months. This time was me & the hubs. It was a little busy, but not packed, and we were seated right away. It was trivia night this time, and pretty loud. Outdoor patio not yet open. Hubs got a pizza and I got the fish & chips. This was after I saw a dish in the service window -- it looked so good! So I asked the server what it wsa, she said, "fish & chips" and I said, "I'll have that!!" But honestly mine didn' look as great as the one I saw, so maybe their order was actually something else. Mine was still a decent size of fish, but very heavily breaded, which I peeled off most of and left. One thing I do really like is they offer 5oz pours of beer. This is perfect for me as I'm not a huge beer drinker, but that size is great for tasting and to accompany a meal for me. Hubs has a pizza that he thought was burnt on the edges and he did not enjoy it. Not enough to complain or anything, he just wasn't into it. I took the rest home and had it for lunch, it was ok but nothing amazing. One thing I did notice this time was that there seemed to be a lot of staff working, but service was a little slow, and they didn't really check back in on us. We were near the service window; I watched food and drinks sit waiting for pick up for quite a bit. So of the 4 recent times I have been here, it seems like they are slipping a little bit each time. Not sure what is up. This place is reall close to where I live, so I do think we'll give it another shot sometime. #ReviewsByRL

    This is a great new addition to Fishers! I have now visited Voodoo twice and service and food have been top notch both times. The wait time given was a longer than we actually had to wait each time, even on a Saturday. The drink options are abundant and honestly all sound good. They offer beer flights which makes beer lovers happy. There is a good variety of food offered and service is quick. The pizza is really good! The space has an open ceiling which makes it louder, especially with music, but there was an acoustic set this last time and it actually sounded good and was really enjoyable. Overall definitely recommend you check this spot out!

    Truffle Fries

    The good: The patty melt was fantastic and the meat itself seemed high quality The wings were crispy and delicious The pizza (especially the crust) was good The nachos were LOADED The bad: The truffle fries are awful. They were old, stale, and didn't taste like truffle fries. The steak on the salad was some of the toughest steak I've ever had. I do not recommend this dish The house beer isn't my favorite ever The vibes are good aside from all of the kids. I miss the days where no kids were at breweries. Service was decent.

    "Not a Philly cheesesteak" was a hot mess of yuck

    Beer selection for a brewpub is limited. Food options are weird and not very appealing. The "Not Philly Cheesesteak" was bad looking and not good tasting. Bartender was cool, I like the location and layout.

    Really excited to have another brewery in the city. My husband and I first week around the holidays, and stopped in before a dinner reservations for some drinks. I will say, I wasn't the biggest fan of their beers, but was happy to see a list of local beers and thankfully a Metazoa Hoppapotamus fixes everything. The second time I went, was for lunch where I enjoyed the truffle fries and my coworker loved the turkey BLTA. The restaurant itself is spacious, and can't wait to see the patio when the weather is warmer. Great parking lot with plenty of spots. Overall, great location and well return!

    Service at the bar was great! Cocktails were delish and the sour we tried was so good, we asked if they sold cans of it. My fiancé ordered a burger and loved it. The fries are hand cut and pretty tasty. I ordered the steak salad as a wrap. Good flavor but the steak was so incredibly tough to chew through, there was hardly any lettuce and was overflowing with dressing. It had good flavor, but would probably try something else next time. We will be back!!

    I was waiting to try Voodoo for months while I waited for it to open. It has a great outdoor area with fire pits and seating for the days when its great to be outdoors. I have not tried their food yet but it does look decent from what I have seen. The beer prices are kind of all over the place. I came here on opening day. I got an IPA that was only 4.7% ABV and a 12 ounce pour and it was $12. My friend got an IPA 7% ABV and it was $6. I have since gone back and now that beer is $9! Actually I'm struggling to understand why their prices are so different and with about a dozen other options within 2 miles why should I go here? Maybe there food is the draw and in all fairness, I need to give them that chance but in the end, not sure if I'll frequent them regularly. Note: I will say that the service has been awesome each time I have been here. Great staff!

    Our family came in on opening day and really enjoyed ourselves :) the cocktails were awesome and my fiancé enjoyed the beers (all Voodoo brand). We started with the chips and I HIGHLY recommend them. So tasty and fresh! Definitely ask for extra beer cheese as this was not enough. Our waitress was pretty slow, but it was opening day and the restaurant was slammed so we gave her grace on that. I'm hoping that the servers get for comfortable and experienced. We would love to come back next time we are in Fishers. I really loved the Blue Sapphire cocktail and the wings. Would love to try more sauce with them too :) the pizza was great and the tenders were good. It was packed and all the guests seemed pretty happy :)

    Decided to visit this place after watching a review from The Traveling Food Guyde! I follow his suggestions and he's usually never wrong. We arrived and were met by one the owners Cher. She was super friendly and explain to us that due to the snow storm she was not fully staffed but could sit anywhere. We picked a table and sat down to order. Dani was our server and she was wonderful! I always get what Marcus suggests! We started with the wings. We opted for the BBQ and garlic pesto which was unusual for a wing sauce. Wings arrived and did not disappoint! Cooked in beef tallow! Juicy, crispy, and succulent. The sauces were phenomenal. We also had a side of Cajun ranch which was delicious. Next we went for the gluten free fish and chips also cooked in beef tallow and the sweet heat pizza both were elite! Cher the owner was super cool and very sweet! She brought us a couple of small dishes of soup to try and both amazing! Full of flavor I highly recommend. Also a small dish of brisket with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts all top notch chef quality food. Cher finished us off with two house favorite drinks and a special dessert. All were fantastic! Chef John came out and introduce himself. He's a great guy and outstanding chef of 30 years! He knows what he's doing. Dave the other owner and Chers husband came over for a nice chat. Great guy as well! The ambience of Voodoo is fantastic. Love the entire set up. Has nice decor and double garage doors to open up the patio in warm weather. They have love music on Fridays and Saturdays. Please support this family owned local business! It's healthy bar food at a reasonable price owned by good people that care about their customers! Keep up the great work Dave and Cher! God bless!

    Voodoo Burger with Fries
    Tabitha C.

    I visited on opening day. It was packed, but that wasn't an issue at all. We grabbed seats at the bar, and our orders were taken quickly. The bartender was fast and friendly. My husband ordered a pint while I went with a flight. We split the Voodoo Burger with fries and added a side of beer cheese. The burger delivered on flavor with melty cheese and bacon piled on. The beer cheese turned out to be the perfect dip for the French fries. The beer selection was tasty. For an opening day, they handled everything smoothly. The food quality and service made this first visit memorable. I'll be back to try more of their menu.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Tiki punch - Bacardi silver rum, strawberry and pineapple. Delicious
    Kara M.

    For being busy as it's a fairly new still the service and food was outstanding. It was busy as it was close to 7:30 and we were seat promptly. The waitress was fast and we got our drinks and ordered and had our food out fast for almost all the tables being full. I had walked by a table that had pickle pizza!!! It looked so good. I had seen other people's food come out and finally made my decision. Pickle pizza or a frisco melt. Frisco melt it was and I really thought it was great. The right amount of sauce, cheese, meat, to the right toast on the bread. Great sandwich. Next time I'm going to get the pickle pizza. The prime rib had sold out so that must be one of the big sellers. All in all a good experience in what seems to be a fairly new area in Fishers. Vicious Biscuits which opened and Graeter's not sure if it was open yet are in the same area.

I'd even go so far as to say that this is one of the better IPAs I've had in a long while. Beer flights at MashCraft are generous 6-ounce pours. You get four of them, and there are 16 different beers, ciders and sours to choose from. I got the Prickly Dragon (a sour with notes of prickly pear and dragonfruit), the MashCraft IPA (yumyumyum and my favorite, as we already established), Squeeze the Juice (an New England IPA), and Triple Jam from Blake's Hard Cider, which was too sweet for me and tasted a little like cough syrup. They also offer wine and cocktails here, but I didn't see them on the menu. I was told this verbally by our extremely gregarious and outgoing server. One cool thing about this MashCraft is that they have an outdoor pickle ball court!

The chicken sandwich I had was delicious, but it was a bit messy. My friend also enjoyed her burger which was the special of the month. We ordered the special drink from Halloween, and it was tasty. I did think $10 was a bit high for what was essentially a vodka and sprite. Trivia was also a blast. They had cute prizes for the holiday and we even ended up winning a gift card. Not bad for free trivia. The host did a great job and made everyone feel welcome. The pickleball court also looked fun if the weather was nicer. Can't wait to come back.

It's such an intimate performance area, and the sound and lighting are great. They have open mic nights here every week, and I can see myself coming back in the future to listen to more music. This is the "mothership" B&B -- the OG. I've been to some of the other Books & Brews around Indy before they closed, and this one definitely feels like an original. It's very ... lived in, let's say. The layout makes no sense, and there's a lot of stuff everywhere. But it's a cozy space, and lots of people, including families with young kids, were there when I visited. I like that there are "third places" like this that adults and kids can visit to to play games and eat and have a beer. (The adults have a beer! Sorry, kids.) The food at any Books & Brews has never been my favorite. In fact, I usually avoid it altogether and just get beer. But this time, my drink of choice was kombucha, and I got an "Oliver Twist," which is a soft pretzel with beer cheese. That reminds me: The food and beverages on their menu have silly little literary names. You have to know something about me: When I see silly little names on menus for ordinary food items, a switch turns on inside me and I become a defiant brat. I will never play along and say "The Girl with the Chicken Nuggie Tattoo" instead of "chicken nuggets" or "A Tale of Two Piggies" instead of "the ham and bacon sandwich." Nope. It's not happening. And when I ordered the "soft pretzel" instead of the "Oliver Twist," they understood me just fine. There is a huge wall of shelves filled with board games that you can grab and play at your table. There had to have been at least 50 or 60 different games. They also have lots of new board games for sale, as well as things like Magic the Gathering decks, Pokemon cards, Funko and geeky swag. Oh! And, of course, they have lots and lots of books, new and used. I couldn't tell if they were arranged with any rhyme or reason. So if you're looking for something specific, you might have better luck finding it elsewhere. But if you're looking to let destiny choose your next read, you might want to pop into Books & Brews and let the B&B powers-that-be guide you to the perfect book.

For appetizers: nachos were great, but if you ordered a simple nacho, it's meh, we had to add several things and added $$ to make it REAL nachos. The dip for the pork rinds was good. The table ordered truffle fries, they finished it. It was our first time trying Upland beers. Most of the options are IPA and tart beers. None of which I like. The mixed drinks menu was meh, they offer 2 hard ciders, but one was unavailable. Our server let us try samples and she was very patient. For main dishes: I ordered a Salmon BLT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I didn't eat it with the bun, salmons was very thin, 1 piece of bacon, slice of tomato and 1 piece of lettuce. We had mac and cheese, DO NOT ORDER, it was floating in fat and there's no taste to it. Fish and chips was okay. The pizza was the highlight, it saved the night, I think. Bathrooms clearly labeled, easily seen, and clean. For 6 people, 2 of whom did not have alcoholic drinks (just water), our bill with tip was over $350. I would not come back here again, I had a better time and better food at other breweries.

    I actually ended up eating at Big Lug twice during my trip, and that's probably the best…read morerecommendation I can give. I always order the Cuban when a new restaurant has one on the menu, and Big Lug's did not disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful, and one of the better Cubans I've had in a while. On my second visit, I went with the blackened cod tacos on corn tortillas (you can also get flour tortillas, and they offer shrimp and breaded fish options). They were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Both visits I ordered the spicy garlic cauliflower, and it was outstanding. The homemade blue cheese dressing took it to another level. If you're on the fence about ordering it, don't be--it was one of my favorite things on the menu. The outdoor walk-up bar creates a really cool, laid-back atmosphere, making it a great place to relax whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying a meal by yourself. The staff was friendly, the service was excellent, and both meals came out quickly. I don't usually eat at the same restaurant twice on a trip, but Big Lug earned it. If I'm back in the area, it'll definitely be on my list again.

    Big Lug is a very cool spot right off the Monon, and even better if you have a pooch with you!…read moreUnfortunately, our experience with the service was pretty disappointing. We sat right in the middle of the main thoroughfare and were completely ignored for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged someone down. The guy, "H," apologized and said, "Oh, my bad--it's all good." We figured, no big deal, let's move on. We ordered pretty simple food, apps and were then going to put in some entrees once apps arrived. We asked for waters and a water bowl for our pups. He brought two waters--with no straws--and no dog bowl. We assumed he was going to grab the bowl, so we waited... and waited. Then I noticed him at the end of the bar leaning against some boxes, texting. So I finally got up, interrupted him and asked for the dog bowl. His response, "oh my bad." Our appetizers came out, and naturally, we asked for silverware. A few minutes later, I spotted "H" in the corner on his phone again. At that point I was thinking, seriously?! So I got up again, interrupted "H's" text convo and asked for silverware. His response again was, "Oh, my bad." I didn't respond to him I just turned around and went back to my seat. Honestly, the whole experience started feeling more like a self-serve restaurant than table service. It's a chill spot and we weren't being needy whatsoever. We never asked for any refills- we were merely asking for the basics. We wanted to order more food, but by that point we were pretty turned off and decided to just get the check. Then came the final straw: my guy had his license and credit card sitting on the table because he hadn't brought his wallet out for our monon trek. When "H" came back with the checkout thing, without question or hesitation - he grabbed the card and swiped it. We didn't even realize what happened until afterward. Maybe that's standard there, but I've never had a server just take my card without asking. Usually you get a "hey do we want to use this card? Or something to confirm. And of course the tip structure is skewed so the min is 20% unless you want to try to figure out to manually enter in 15% (which most ppl don't -incl my guy), so we left 20% and left irritated and still hungry. "H" didn't seem hungover or anything--he just genuinely seemed like he did not not give a shiiiit. We had to get up three separate times to get things we had already requested: the dog bowl, a couple straws, and silverware. (Basics) And a quick note on the 7-Layer Hoss Dip: don't expect seven layers. It comes in a small thick ceramic bowl and was basically beans, guacamole, a tiny bit of corn and some hard cheese on top. Definitely would not recommend it. Way too "beany" and not worth $16 at all. The southwest rolls were decent- very fried tho. Cheesecake Factory's are better ;) The location and dog-friendly atmosphere are great, with the exception of the homeless camp right at their patio entrance, but unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, because Big Lug has a lot going for it.

    We held a small after-work get-together on a Friday evening around 6:00. The restaurant was…read moremoderately busy, and outdoor seating had a waitlist, but our party was seated inside quickly with very little wait. Our beverages were served right away, followed by appetizers of pretzels with beer cheese, cheese bread, and tots for the kids. For dinner, our group ordered the shrimp salad, fish and chips, quesadillas, tenderloin, and, of course, mac and cheese for the kids. Everything was tasty and arrived quickly. The staff was friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Overall, we had a great experience and would gladly return!

The wings were very good... & I'm not a huge fan of buffalo wings. The chipotle dry rub was fantastic paired with the ranch sauce. The tenderloin sandwich may have been one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly breaded, & so thick. It was also twice the size of my bun ... which is exactly how it's supposed to be. Fries were pretty good & plentiful. My SO ordered the crab cakes sandwiches and it looked good ... it disappeared quickly. I forgot to take pictures of the food before it was eaten. I wish this place was on the way home from work but I'll continue to make the effort to go there again soon because it was so good.
