Anything on the menu is great. Love the bread I always get the red beans and rice but the girlfriend is always getting something different. She is yet to complain about anything she orders.

Lauren T

Definitely one of THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN INDY! I get white chicken chili usually, but the drunk chicken is AMAZING. Great people and great food, very cozy small business feel.

John Schlagenhauf

Chili cheese etoufee and the white chicken chili always delish. Don't forget mo bread ! Also say hi to Joe Vuscovich the owner of all the Yats he's almost always at the north college location!

Sarah McCarthy

Drunken Chicken and Jambalaya were awesome! The food got to our table before we did. 11/10 will need a to go box.

Jayne Williams

Chili cheese étouffée is out of this world.. But everything here is good. Also, this is easily the best of all Yats locations.

Jason Ritchie

The chili cheese etoufee and cookies are the best! B&B is a close second

The bread is amazing and the spinach and mushroom etouffee is phenomenal.

Drunken chicken is great... ask for double bread . Love this place - it’s my go-to place for lunch/dinner.

Chili Cheese Étouffée was amazing. They'll let you try samples for free. Always get MORE BREAD . definitely worth it.

Justin Thorp

Great great creole food . Just ask the guy at the counter what he'd recommend and you can't go wrong.

Everything at Yats! is great. You really can't go wrong, unless you're a vegan/vegetarian and order meat.

Mecca Jensen

This location has such great style, fabulous food, fun environment! Order extra bread , it's so worth it.

There is no better place in town for great food. Newbies - try the RedBeans-n-smoked sausage . $4 for a half-order (PLENTY of food) and you're good to go!

I always order a half with extra bread . Check out the bottles of sauces on the counter next to the register. Cash only .

The half-n-half maximizes your experience, since portions are generous.
