We love this place! Great service every time we eat here. The food has always been great and the one thing we love is that no matter how busy they are it doesn’t get loud Today we were in town and decided to stop for lunch. I love the pork chops. They are so good. My wife had the Philly Cheese Steak and the Burgundy mushrooms. If you’re ever in Indy close to 82 street, stop for a great dining experience!

This was a great spot for dinner! All of our food came out hot, very tasty, and timely. Great steak, ribs, and chicken. The spinach artichoke dip was amazing as well. We were blown away, and our whole table agreed it was the best restaurant we’ve been to in a long time. The staff was all very friendly as well and provided excellent service. We will definitely come back and try out something else on the menu!

My family and I ventured out in the cold for a second day to enjoy a devour Indy meal. I was initially disappointed when I saw that we had to share an appetizer and a dessert but the portion sizes were ENORMOUS!! I ordered the ribs and my kids teased that they looked like the brontosaurus ribs from the Flinstones (the ones that tipped over the car) they were that big. I had baked beans and cole slaw, both very tasty. Oh my appetizer was the dynamite shrimp which was stupendous 🥰 The key lime pie for dessert was on point BUT that crust was very thick and required me to use my muscles to cut it LOL. Our waitress did an amazing job, she kept our glasses refilled and checked often to see if we needed anything. The manager came by as well to check on us and got my to go containers. I really enjoyed my time there, mostly because I was with my family, the atmosphered was good and the food was definitely very fulfilling.

Really nice place, if I were a local I'd definitely pick this as a classy date spot. The Reuben and fries were really good, however the coleslaw was just flat out phenomenal. It's got a little cilantro in it and a little spicy kick at the end. I'd 100 percent choose their coleslaw as a side dish for my death row meal, not even kidding.

They all look stressed, they don't even answer when they are called for an order, the lady who is seen in the photo completely ignored me, I'm very good at the attention to the customer and she's not good. They should hire more people or train those who are there to do a good job

Great place to dine in with friends family and or co workers. The atmosphere is Amazing with the Dimmed lights. I had the pork chops 🥩🤤, mashed potatoes 🥔 and substituted the baked beans for the salad 🥗. A Very hearty meal and My daughter had the Hawaiian Ribeye 🥩 and salad 🥗. My mother had the Sirloin dish, while My niece had the "Walt's Champagne Chicken salad". The only problem that I had was the 2 hr wait time on our food. I was almost full off the water and croissant . But I definitely recommend it for people with time to play or people with patience that are not already hungry when entering
