Home of the Big Ugly Burger Challenge: finish a 1.5 lb burger to be on the wall of fame; finish 2 burgers to get a headshot; 3 to get a poster; 4 to get a life-sized cut-out! -Adam Richman, Man v Food

Best burgers in town . Highly recommended the sweet potato fries . Better bring a coat though, its always cold. But overall its fantastic and a good price

This was my second trip. Great burgers and fries . The mahi mahi sandwich was awesome. Love the onion rings and milkshakes !

When you get ice cream , get them to put “faces” on the ice creams !!

Just about the best burger I've ever had! 1/2 lb Elk , medium w American, bacon , sauté mushrooms . The roll makes the burger though! #Spectacular

When we passed through we split the Big Ugly. It was good, but I'm looking forward to going back and trying something new. Fun place!

Best burger in town . You can smell the meat grilling a block away. Lots of outdoor seating . Great place for families. Just please keep your kid quiet if you sit next to me!

Best burger I have ever had. Seasoned perfectly. My husband proudly ate the the "Big Ugly"! :)

The Mahi-Mahi sandwich is always fantastic. Get it with some of their waffle fries - they have just a hint of heat - and you've got a great meal. Finish off with some ice cream ... yum! Read more

I like the upstairs dining area. And their elk burgers blow my mind. 

The new "Hangover Burger " is something else! The Big Ugly version comes with 3 fried eggs , apparently!

The best burgers in the state of Indiana, perhaps the mid-west. Either way I make a long commute just to eat here from Ball State .

Goal: bike up to Bub's on the Monon. Best cheeseburger I have ever tasted!

A must-visit if you're touring Indianapolis. Be sure to try the elk burger , it's right on the money.

The milkshakes are delicious - I had the peanut butter shake .

Tasty ice cream with plenty of outside seating

Ate one of the big uglys was damn good would have had more but having to pay to win a food challenge isn't very fair to me should be free if you eat all of them

Don't skip the big ugly. .. when do you ever get a chance to do a food challenge that was on "man vs. Food"

Wow, $75 with tip for lunch ! Waiter didn't tell us things were upcharged. Also we ordered milkshakes at the beginning of the meal and they came at the same time as our check. We won't be returning.
