    Eggs bacon and hash browns.
    Richard H.

    Located across the street from the Residence Inn (airport). This is a small restaurant, but excellent communication from your server. Affordable pricing, and delicious breakfast items. I recommend their 2 egg, bacon, hash browns, with toast for $10.59! I recommend adding coffee and upgrading your hash browns with ham and cheese!

    Breakfast menu

    Myranda moved like there were no customers and she was bored. I waited probably 20 minutes to put in my order, which was only that fast because I started stopping people as they went by me to ask to order. She took my order like it was an annoyance. Then, when the food was ready she tried to give me a different table's order. After my meal I saw a new customer sitting and looking around for a long time, also waiting for someone to acknowledge him; meanwhile Myranda ambled back-and-forth past him looking bored but not acknowledging him. The other staff members were hustling as if it were the packed 10am Sunday morning that it was -- especially Lydia who was expediting and moving full speed like all the cooks and everyone else. This was my second visit, the first time was awesome with a server named Jamie. Seems the trick is to come when she's working. The food was solid. The ambience was what you'd expect of a waffle house, kind of lower cost acceptable.

    Flys everywhere

    Flys everywhere, ghetto employees trying to fight each other, empty building (most likely because of the service), it took forever for me to get my food, the mop water smelt horrible when my sister spilled a drink, almost all the seats were dirty so it was hard for me and my family to find somewhere to sit, whole place is just overall bad.

    If you're staying at one of the adjacent hotels and don't have a car, Waffle House is your main choice for breakfast. I'd never been to one, but a former co-worker from the south has use to rave about the place. So today was my first Waffle House experience. I was expecting something like a Dennys. In reality, it's closer to Mel's Diner (the old TV show, I've just dated myself!). The place is tiny. Menu is limited to the basics - eggs, hash browns (or grits), toast, and of course a waffle. Served quickly with a little grease on the plate. By today's standards it's inexpensive. Under $20 for my husband and I. I got 2-eggs/hash/toast; he got the All American (?) which basically included choices from everything in the menu. One OJ. For just under $20 before tip. The staff was very friendly & seemed to be having a great time singing along to whatever songs were playing. Not bad when you just need a quick & easy meal!

    If you're looking for a solid diner spot with awesome waffles, the best shredded hash browns, eggs, etc., this is where you wanna be. Like many restaurants, labor shortages might mean the tables aren't immediately bussed or the wait is a bit longer. If that bugs you, come at an off peak time to likely improve your experience. I've been coming to this location since I was a little kid. The service is always good, usually with a smile, and people here appreciate kind patrons. My usual order is a small orange juice, chocolate chip waffle, and bacon extra crisp. I also enjoy my hash browns scattered, covered, and smothered. YUM! Give it a shot next time you're in the area.

    The hashbrowns -- what its all about.

I first tried Christopher oaxanao... can't really spell it but was told it sounded like walken?

We started with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice, and you can immediately tell they don't cut corners--the OJ tasted bright, fresh, and totally worth it. Now let's talk about the food... because WOW. The Signature Pancake Platter was unreal--fluffy, golden, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes that honestly might be some of the best I've had. Adding the soft poached eggs took it to another level (that perfect yolk ), and the hash browns were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside--exactly how they should be. We also ordered the West Coast Omelet with feta, and it was packed with flavor--super fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, and a generous portion. And yes... we had to add extra pancakes (no regrets), which were just as amazing the second time around. Shoutout to our server JJ, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Service like that really stands out. Everything came out hot, fresh, and quickly, and the portions are more than generous for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry. The benches were the only downside, it is definitely time to replace them! But tables were clean and cute inside. If you're anywhere near here and craving a top-tier breakfast or brunch, don't even think twice--this spot is a MUST. Already planning my next visit!

It's a typical "diner" menu with eggs, pancakes, French toast, and crepes. They also offer some sandwiches like burgers, chicken sandwich, wraps, and even a Greek gyro.

This is a great, affordable option in downtown Indianapolis. Check it out when in town.

You feel like you're going back in time about 40 years - and that's actually a good thing. The staff are all extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. I had the steak omelette. I've eaten many steak omelettes and this is the first time I've ever been able to order the steak cooked to my preference. Most places serve them well done. I asked for medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It also had cheese and diced green peppers and onions. Nice size and great flavor. Their hash browns were perfect - crispy on the outside but tender inside. The pancakes are large and nicely prepared - not too heavy but not too light! The waffles are also very good - very large and circular - not as thick as Belgian waffles but very good nonetheless. The fried sliced loaded potatoes were excellent. Cheese, bacon, peppers and onions - again, very tasty. Finally, biscuits and sausage gravy were also very good. The gravy had plenty of sausage in it and it was not too runny and not too thick!

The flavor was ok but needed spices or cheese or something to pump it up. Maybe I don't know what to order but my impression was it was fun to try but not a go to spot. I might try something going again and getting something g else but there are a lot of such places where the eggs are fluffy and full which I would probably try first.

This charming classic diner was busy when we arrived around 11 am. Our server told us to sit anywhere at one of the booths or tables. The place has about 16 tables. The grill is open to the dining room and Jimmy was busy frying eggs and dishing up grits. Vintage local photos hang in the wall. Our server recommended the pork tenderloin or the BLT sandwich. Specials were listed on a blackboard. The menu offers a broad selection of breakfast and sandwich items. Beverages came out quickly. Our server was friendly, engaging and a super 5 star. My husband tried the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich with fries. Jimmy batters and fries the tenderloin right before your eyes. The sandwich is hearty and juicy. I had the fried chicken lunch special which comes with mashed potatoes, green beans and toast. The plate was huge. I'm a connoisseur of mashed potatoes and these mashed potatoes were made fresh with bits of red skin and topped with a creamy gravy. The chicken was moist inside with a crispy coating. The green beans were ok. I was too full to try the desserts, but the blueberry shortcake sounded awesome. Another day. Restrooms are clean. A parking lot is available behind the building.
