Excellent little bodega with a lot of character. Had the Italian beef and it was excellent. Rotating beer selections with a small number on tap .

Jim Lewis

The brisket is fantastic as well as the Chicago beef . Nice little dive bar with killer food and the blues are playing on a nice sounding system . Great atmosphere for casual .

Thomas Pritchard

Your arteries will hate it but you will love it. You can't go too often (for your health), but when you do, try their burgers and split some fries with someone!

Richard Kasper

So I have had several people tell me how good the wings are. I was prepared to be disappointed due to all the build up. I wasn't! The wings are AMAZING!! Quite possibly the best I have ever eaten!

Erin Montgomery

The French fries are great. Definitely worth it. Also the Italian beef is to die for. Make sure to get the hot peppers . Perfect little Chicago oasis in Indy.

Casey Wiscons

A couple of my favs: Chicago dogs , wings , tots , any burger...love the Reuben with cole slaw (instead of kraut ). Nice beer selection . Great location & outdoor seating .

Erin Barnett Nichols

Yummy hand-cut French fries , really good coleslaw , and burgers you can feel good/bad about pigging out on! Super fun place!

Mark Apple

Get a free angioplasty with every 10th meal!

Zach Steiner

Good burgers and solid Italian beef . Fries are a huge portion for multiple people. Sandwiches also come with chips .

Nicole Ellingwood

Italian Beef a little disappointing. If it says "wet" it needs to be "wet!" The burger 's are amazing!

Andy Kienle

Try the smoked wings . Different than all those deep fried wings and delicious.

Joel Smith

Anything you get here is delicious, but a good ol' Fatburger, fries and a beer will set you free!

Tia Jah Ayers

The fries are wonderful and one order is enough for two or three people.

Beth Smith

The BEST BESTEST burger I have EVER had. Mine had teriyaki & mushrooms .....I want another.

Erikka Tande

The food is amazing!!! (Beware, the fries and tater tots are not included in the price of your sandwich .)

Kent Walker

NY FAT burger is great. The different cut table fries are good and a great idea.

Thomas Atkins

Great food and craft beers . Not sure who Fat Dan is, but the staff is a bunch of hotties!

CS_just_CS

Its all good! The brisket is delicious and try the Durty Tots .

Eric M Williams

Anything out if the smoker is flame. Griffin's Chubby and a Ghost burger are unlike anything else you'll find.

Wendy Reed

The absolute best wings I have ever had ( and I lived in Buffalo! )

CS_just_CS

Durty Tots ..swap the hot sauce for BBQ sauce for perfection.

Marc Seleman

Love this place but they should have the sports package to see every Cubs game.

Sarah

We must have gone when they were low on fries as it seemed like they skimped on our order. The Reuben was great, though.

Chris Shadoan

Dipped Italian Beef was great! Just do it!
