Reviews of Fire by the Monon
The food we ordered was excellent. The attached photos show a smoky bear burger and the Cuban burger. First of all, the portions are huge so arrive hungry! The value is incredible for what they charge. Additionally, this might be the only place in the last 2-3 years that has known how to cook a burger properly. The beef patty they use is thicker and cooked to order (they were able to cook them medium and medium rare as requested). The fries were hot and fresh and the service was as quick as could be expected for made to order food. We will be excited to return in the future.
A wonderful spot with incredible food and superb service. Our waiter was the best! We called ahead to see if our large party of 8 could be accommodated and the host was hilarious. He asked us (jokingly) to sprint and arrive sweaty in order to get the table. 🤣🤣🤣 We had four kids in our party and they were thrilled with the crayons and kids’ menu! The portions were huge!! The kids’ menu had fun drinks for the kids and our two little ones split the delicious Mac and cheese. Everything was so so good! It was only $100 for the 8 of us and we brought home a full meal to have later. Definitely a go again. Highly recommend! The area is so cute too. A lot of little shops to walk around and see.
We got the spinach artichoke dip and chips and onion rings for appetizers, the dip was more like a queso dip as there wasn't much spinach in it but it was still good, onion rings were thick and delicious. The wife got the fish tacos and I got the pulled pork tacos. Both were delicious but if you don't like things on the spicy side you might avoid these 2 choices. We were filled up and had to ask for a Togo box. This is a cozy little place and they had a fire pit going outside in case you wanted to sit on the patio.
Cubano burger absolutely delicious. Very organized even with the art fair making it pretty busy.
Staff was professional, if a bit green, and really made me feel welcome.
Also had fried pickles and some tasty beers 🍻.
Mary was a good server, very sweet. They were really busy on a Sunday and Mary seemed to have lots of tables and was doing her best :) the food options aren’t extensive and we had a hard time finding something we wanted. I didn’t love the fish tacos (dry tortilla, liquidy sauce, and tasteless cabbage). The Mac and cheese also wasn’t amazing, maybe 7/10. Worth a try, the fries are great at least and the service was great!
We had a great dinner here. Lots of great choices. The fish tacos, grueben and pork nachos were our favorites. Prompt service and cool dining area. Will return!
This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a great meal in the mix! The service was very pleasant and friendly. The server was great with checking in and providing drinks! Looking forward to stopping by again and hiding some treasure coins!
Modern Pirate Lord!
Absolutely delicious! My new go to for yummy food and a delightful atmosphere. Great service.
My husband and I were in the Indianapolis area with our dog and were looking for a pet friendly restaurant so she could dine with us. Fire by the Monon was the perfect place. The food was very good; the burgers were perfectly grilled and delicious. Our server, Brad, was very friendly and attentive not only to me and my husband, but our dog as well. Very good dining experience. We will dine here again when we are in the area.
The fish rueben was crispy and flavorful!! Be careful when eating because it's very hot!! The waffle sweet potatoe fries were delicious!! The sauce paired very well with my meal. The service was great. Quaint restaurant. I will be back!!
Our husbands went to the Colts game, my friend and I went wandering! We are so glad that we found this darling restaurant on Yelp! A beautiful day on their patio with incredible salads! They also have a great beer menu!! I wish I remembered the waitress's name. She had excellent customer service skills!!
We are already planning our return. I would recommend if you don't have a way to take home left overs be sure to share the salad!! We were staying at a hotel downtown and were sad we left salad behind!!
If the service “ain’t” there.. the food suffers to me and the service was fantastic. Just stopped in to do a few apps and a drink.
Fried green tomatoes were perfectly cooked and the breading was toothsome and had a crunch. It also withstood cutting by staying on the tomato and not breaking off all over the plate.
The cup of tortilla soup was flavorful and topped with fresh Pico.
The drinks were well made and were alcohol forward. Perhaps could have used a splash more bitters but that’s a personal taste.
Very nice meal from here. We had the fried green tomatoes, flatbread, & fish n chips. It all was very tasty & seasoned nicely. The flatbread was loaded with tops & made your mouth water with every bite. Wait staff was very friendly & courteous. Food wait time was very short and we had a very nice time sitting on the outdoor patio. Make sure to check the hours. They close early but if you get there in time, you will have a very nice meal. We appreciate the nice dining experience.
First time I went the Dirty Mac n Cheese I didn't like, idk if I just got a bad serving that day or what so be cautious on that. However second time I was with friends and their burgers and fries were fantastic. Highly recommended.
I brought my dog here passing through. The staff was super attentive and I swear, every member greeting my dog and I haha. I only ordered the dirty mac and cheese and it filled me up too much to order more. Very flavorful and presentable. The staff was wonderful with drink recommendations as well. The patio setting is simple and cozy, with nice shade. The dessert is the real reason i’m writing this review. I had a s’mores brownie, served with ice cream and it was one of the best desserts i’ve ever had. With roasted mashallow and hershey chocolate melted over top. Immaculate. Fantastic fanatic staff and service, wonderful food, clean, great environment. And I could take my dog. what more could you ask for?!? They also brought out a whole mini plate full of dog treats and a water bowl for him!
I had the Bella Burger and it was excellent! Fries and the house sauce were also tasty! I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.
This place was amazing. The beer was a bit expensive but the food was very delicious. We also had an awesome server who made the experience very good for us. He was patient as we had two young children with us but the overall Ambience was very nice. We will definitely be back as we want to try other food. The grouper Reuben was very good. I would highly recommend this place. It's also in a cool setting on Broad Ripple. Just be careful of the limited parking around the area but luckily they have the few spots dedicated to their own restaurant. Nice job!
Absolutely fantastic place to eat with friends or family, for a date or large gathering. The restaurant is cozy with a lodge like feel and the staff is attentive. Their portions have great value for the price and everything tasted delicious.
Highly recommend the pulled pork Mac n’ cheese appetizer (best shared between 2-3 people), bacon bourbon sriracha burger, and salmon sandwich. All of their sides are amazing, but the sweet potato fries are a little bit salty. Must try: their toffee pudding dessert, which comes with vanilla ice cream.
My wife and I stumbled upon this place while running errands and just had an amazing lunch. Our server, David, was an absolute delight. They hand cut and batter their onion rings to order and I have never had better. My burger was delicious and perfectly cooked. My wife's fish and chips tasted like it was fresh out of the water. We will definitely be back.
Honestly, their spinach and artichoke dip is amazing! So decadent, extra cheesy, and flavorful. I devoured it like an animal
The BEST burger I've ever had in my entire life!!!!! And the "Fire Sauce" is amazingggggggg. Sort of tastes like an upgraded Big Mac sauce. I love that they will allow you to sample the beers before you commit to one.
Simply delicious is what came to mind when I tasted the sauce they brought out with my appetizer it was transcendent. This place is just wonderful the food is beyond delicious. Inviting cozy place with very large patio in the heart old the old village a good distance from the more night club bar kinda spots . No need at all for the strip cause they had a wonderful selection of wines, ales ,and cocktails. This place is the very definition of fine dining and five star quality in both food and service. I love this place and will return dinner on their patio just as the sun sets was just a rich full experience in broadripple unlike any other . Located right next to the monon trail . A must and I cant stress this enough a MUST visit if you're ever in indy must.
To the Fire by the Monon I have only one word for you Bravo
Dude, this place is awesome. Prices as low as a chain, but the taste is amazing. The menu has a lot of variety, and the food is great quality. You can really tell they care about food here.
Just go ahead and order yourself the pulled pork nachos. You can thank me later.
We were waited on by the bartender, Jake. He's the best.
We WILL be back.
Our family of 6 chose to try this while in the area. They were very busy on a Saturday night but got us in fairly quickly. I took the suggestion of another review and got the Inferno Burger. It was delicious! - My wife had the Berry Salad (I also tried some 😂) it was amazing! Kids got chicken fingers, cheeseburger (x2), Mac n cheese. And we got a side of sweet potato fries. Portions were huge, none of us left hungry (thank goodness). The only meal that wasn’t outstanding was the Mac n cheese. We all thought it was just okay. Totally worth the trip. And stop at Rusted Moon to say Hi!
One of our favorite places! These tacos were delicious and I loved sitting on the patio. Only downside was that our marinara appetizer with goat cheese tasted very strongly of green peppers.. so much so that it wasn't enjoyable. I know I won't be getting that appetizer again, but I will definitely be back to this awesome place!
My first time coming here. The atmosphere is good, and the food was delicious. My server, Brad, was amazing!! He made sure everything was ordered in a timely manner and constantly asked if we needed anything else. Will return to this restaurant.
The food was all delicious! Have never had a dish here that we did not love. And the service is always wonderful too
The staff was amazing! The only thing better then the staff was the food! Best onion rings I have ever had by far!!
Generally this place is great, food wise, atmosphere, and service. I really enjoy their ever changing specials. They had fried green tomatoes that were great and their desserts have always been delicious. I believe their desserts change based on what they feel like making. Never been disappointed with their desserts. I have had a few meals I wasn't impressed with, but overall my experiences have been great. Would recommend.
Great place for lunch. We were from out of town & used our GPS to find a restaurant. We loved your spinach/artichoke appetizer, so good. Then I got my burger and its was good, my sister got fish tacos with rice, it was awesome. The waiter & hostesses were very kind. I went to the restroom before we left because of a long drive home, I was so disappointed. The ladies restroom was so dirty, yuck!! If the bathroom was clean, I would have rated them a 5 star.
First time in definitely will return. Great food and the bbq pork and sauce is spot on. The freshness and quality is great. With a great patio set up and service.
This diamond-in-the-rough nestled in the hip Broad Ripple backdrop of the Monon Trail, hits all the right notes. Price: ding! Vibe: ding!
Location: ding!
My friend and I made it in just before an evening rush. I arrived first, and was seated by a great hostess. My server was quick, cordial, and efficient as she handled two more parties being seated in the same section, and took my order, while allowing my friend to get settled in after she arrived.
I also noticed several families. The space is flexible enough that small children can also be accommodated, or large families.
I had the Veggie garden sandwich: grilled portabello mushroom caps doused in balsamic vinegar with splashes spices garnished with healthy mozzarella slices and sauteed onions and peppers. The portions were just right AND they did what few Indy restaurants can do, make their sweet potato fries just right! I will be returning, no doubt.
The best pulled pork nachos we have had. Each chip was an individual with all the pulled pork nacho. Typically nachos are just on the top and when you get to the bottom..just chips.
$19.00 bottle of wine.
This place was great! The fried green tomatoes were amazing, as was the popper burger and onion rings. Everyone in the group enjoyed their dishes. Highly recommend!
They never fail to create the best of anything your heart ❤desires. They happened to have a special on a grilled pork chop with asparagus and roasted potatoes. It was absolutely THE BEST!!! Too bad it's not always available. Regardless, anything you order will be a gastronomical orgasm!
I can't narrow down all the great things. Welcoming, friendly, all staff are helpful and approachable, delicious, unique items on the menu, tasty cocktails, cold craft beer.
I love the inferno burger and the Gruben.
Delicious! Food was so good I highly recommend the grueben and our server shila was so nice! Will definitely come back again
I really like this restaurant. I've been here five times and each time the service was great. You can't make a reservation in advance like you can with some other restaurants, but that is totally okay with me. The wait is always worth it due to the very nice service and the fair prices for what you get. I'm definitely going to be coming here more often because the food and atmosphere is also amazing. The beer choices are very nice. They aren't as extensive as another place, but their choices are well picked and most of the people who work the bar can always recommend you a nice beer. Overall, this place is amazing and I am definitely coming back.
First time stopping into this place last weekend. Overall I was extremely happy with everything from start to finish. The hostess was happy and attentive, the wait staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was pretty good. The decor/table seating styles are a little "meh" but we didn't come here for an upscale, pompous outing. I do plan on returning to try out the other food options as they all read very well. I hope to have the same great experience as previous.
Really good sandwiches and beer selections. Nice atmosphere also. Chill dining experience.
This place is amazing. Great staff (Cole did a great job!) and amazing food. Everyone (including 2 picky kids) left full and happy. Will be back!
Dinner at Fire By The Monon on June 16th. The service was very good, our waiter did a great job. I ordered the Cobb Salad. It was HUGE, and had all the right ingredients. Very good salad. My wife had the ribeye sandwich, and that is where things fell short. It was not tender and it had a fairly large amount of grizzle. The fries were pretty good, and her salad was fine. But, the sandwich just did not cut it. I would also say that the atmosphere needs a major update. Rather dark, and dated where we sat. I would be willing to try it again, but I would definitely advise trying to sit outside, and I would avoid the ribeye sandwich.
Everything was great, I got the Burger daily special, avocado pico burger and my husband got the free range flat bed pizza with chicken. The onion rings were huge and delicious. The waitress was so sweet and attentive and (we tipped her well.) This place was a great find in Indianapolis. Happy we found by chance Googling restaurants near me. 😀
I adore this restaurant. It has a wonderful varied menu, delicious food, upbeat, friendly staff, and is easily wheelchair accessible. Fire by the Monon Restaurant is a jewel in Broad Ripple!
Cozy restaurant with decent food. My boyfriend had the grouper and I wanted to switch him meals. I don't remember what I had so my choice was decent but his grouper was better! ;) The service was great and the waitstaff is friendly.
Located in what appears to have been a house, the Fire by the Monon is a quality new-American restaurant just a block or so off of the Monon trail. Enjoyed dinner here on a recent weekday night. The restaurant offers an easy, laid-back vibe that leans towards being, but isn't quite a beer bar or gastropub. Decent beer menu with a generous nod towards Indiana local breweries. Food is basically upscaled reworking of classic comfort food: nachos, pork tenderloin sandwiches, tacos, a few burgers and salads, and pulled pork mixed in where-ever it will fit.
One of the best places we've been to since we moved here from Memphis the staff was amazing took care of every one of our needs from start to finish. The food came out promptly and hot. And the drinks are on point will definitely recommend this place and definitely be going back also they made sure to bring our dog his own bowl of biscuits and bacon.
Great price for the portions. Margarita was bomb. Tenderloin, done right. They accommodated 15 of us on a Saturday with just about a 20 min wait, which was impressive.
Sweet potato waffle fries were soooo good!! Burgers were yummy too! We'd go back!
Great food, HUGE portions. Stopped here on our way through Indianapolis at a recommendation from some friends of ours who live here, and I'm so glad they recommended it!
Local and delicious. Fire by the Monon delivers the upmost quality while keeping prices reasonable and affordable. Their pork tenderloin is to die for and will provide enough food for your next meal as well. Give them a try next time your in the area!
My 1st visit here and I regret waiting.
I literally can't find a single complaint at all. I'm sorry of stunned. We had fried green tomatoes which were crispy juicy perfectly seasoned and the fire sauce was excellent.
My friend had the tenderloin which was 2 meals in itself and sweet potato waffle fries I tried and loved.
I had the burger special. Cooked perfectly well seasoned and the onion rings which is a standard I sort of judge places by and so far the best onion rings in BRV.
Price points were excellent for the quality and portions were more than enough even if you're going in hungry.
Our server Jackie was on point and attentive.
Honestly. This was by far the best dine in experience I have had since I moved here.
Don't regret not going sooner like am now.
Had an amazing experience here! Went for a girls night and was charmed and delighted by the bar staff! He made us custom drinks based off the fact we liked Gin and went above and beyond for service! Didn’t catch his name, but blonde with glass! Give him a raise! Would definitely come back!
We were overwhelmingly pleased with our dinner tonight at Fire by the Monon. The staff was unfailingly warm and kind. Our waitress checked in often, topping off our water and offering spare napkins without being asked.
The food was delicious. I would personally recommend the grouper Rueben, but there were so many other options on the menu that sounded equally good. My girls were very pleased with their kids menu, especially the sweet potato waffle fries.
We ate outside, and the menu felt like the perfect complement to the cool autumn weather.
Indulged In the fried green tomatoes, wonderful. My entree I choose the Groupruben w roasted vegetables highly recommend.
Without a doubt, the best place to eat in Broad Ripple. Always consistently great service and awesome food.
Unassuming, laid-back, charming restaurant that really surprised us. Our waiter was personable and he guided us with helpful suggestions that showed he really understood the menu. The corn chowder was tasty and fresh. But the star of our lunch was the fish!
The Grouben, a fresh take on a Reuben with fried grouper with a delicious slaw plus Russian dressing on marbled rye was sublime. Melt in your mouth, perfectly tender, fresh fish that blended seamlessly with the rest of the sandwich components. It's honestly the best sandwich I think I've ever had. My partner had the blackened mahi mahi and it too revealed a deep respect and understanding of how to honor your ingredients to make them shine. It was fresh, balanced and an absolute delight. The onion rings were also crunchy, fresh and addictive.
We had two generous sandwiches plus a side for $14 each. Such a great value for what we were given. We'll definitely return and try more things. If you're in the area, give them a try, especially if you're a fan of fish.
Great atmosphere, awesome outdoor area. Great food! Will be back again!!!
Fantastic food and service. Excellent. Highly recommend this place.
I just love this restaurant. Amazing customer service and the food is awesome. I love supporting local restaurants and I try to introduce friends to Fire by the Moon every chance I get. A hidden gem within the city.
Absolutely delicious!! My wife and myself were driving by and decided to stop for lunch with our pups 🐶. The pulled pork sandwich was very tasty and the rib eye steak sandwich was perfectly cooked and delicious!! The onion rings are AMAZING! A must have. They're very dog friendly, our pups even got a few treats, which they loved. I highly recommend this place!!
Had an early celebration for my son's 30th birthday. There was a great selection of appetizers, meals, sides and drinks. We each ordered something different and were more than satisfied with our dinners. I recommend anyone who lives in Indy or passes through stop by and visit this establishment.
I threw a last minute surprise birthday party for my partner a few weeks back and Fire By The Monon was extremely accomodating. Even though it was insanely busy our table was ready much earlier than anticipated and they let me bring some balloons on to the patio. Our server Jake was very relaxed while we waited for the birthday man to get there. Through our drunken shenanigans we ordered 5 spinach dips all at seperate times and he didn't blink. We had 2 extra guests show up an hour later and Jake the magician pulled 2 chairs out of NOWHERE for them(This was Mothers Day weekend and college graduation weekend). He did not have a second of time to spare but still spared it to take a photo of our group. My partner is in the military and we don't get the chance to celebrate birthdays together very often and I will be forever grateful that I chose Fire By The Monon for his 25th.
A very nice wine selection and fantastic bartender. Will definitely go again.
This is a fantastic restaurant. Food is amazingly good and huge servings. We took home about half of what they served. Not that I'm complaining - very happy to have these leftovers. Prices are very reasonable. Service was great. If you want a great meal, be sure to check out Fire by the Monon.
So it was a delicious bite and I do love the location although the parking lot is very narrow. It's got a cute little patio but the indoor space is quite cramped and it was very warm inside. I got the Cuban burger and I was very happy with my choice! Great beer selection. I got fish tacos for my husband as a to go, along with a smores brownie and I was especially happy that the server took care to keep the ice cream part in the fridge until we were heading out.
Great food loved the wine I got from thee 19.99 bucket.
Great food. Fried green tomatoes tasty. River sandwich good. Sweet potato fries were awesome. Sticky table. Server friendly.
Brad was the best server. Oh, and the food was great as well.
It is a wonderful place to eat. We had party of 10, to celebrate birthdays. The tenderloins were great, but the taco's where not season.
Wonderful date night spot! Everything looked good so we ended up ordering the fried pickles, the bourbon burger, and margherita pizza and split it all. Everything tasted amazing and our server was wonderful!
One of the finest restaurants in town, and an independent business as well. We love the setting, but the food is right on par with any of the $$$$ restaurants we've visited. You can't go wrong here.
The tenderloin sandwich was tasty... and could feed a family 4! 😄 Next time I'll be prepared to share!
This was my first visit. Great first impression! I ordered carry out and it didn't take long. I got the chopped salad with salmon and the pasture sandwich with sweet potato fries. The salad was delightful and large. I got the burger for some else and they enjoyed it too. They have very reasonable prices here. The customer service was awesome as well! Can't wait to return and try out more of the menu!
This place has amazing food! We ordered some dirty Mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes (the best I’ve had) and onion rings. Everything was delicious! The staff was super friendly and kind. Definitely recommend this restaurant
We love this place. Food is delicious and consistent. Staff is always friendly. It’s our go-to for take out but dining in is just as good!
One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Delicious and unique. Pulled pork was excellent. Delicious onion rings and amazing bread pudding. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience!!
The beer choices were very diverse. The menu choices were very good. I had the grouper Reuben, Wife had the trout, both were awesome. Plenty of food. The onion rings she had, the breading pulled away from the onions, they need to address that. The sweet potato waffle fries were not as "hot" as I would expect. The grouper sandwich was great, the Cole slaw complimented the sandwich. Our bartender was very responsive and informative to the beers we asked about.
Food was soooo good. Very glad we happened upon this restaurant. Smoked Gouda bacon Burger was awesome as were the fries. My husband said the thick cut onion rings were the best he’s ever had.
Our sever Brad was outstanding … Fried green tomatoes were also excellent!
My family and I were traveling and we randomly choose to eat hear, we made no mistake. Compliments to the chef. All six plates looked very appetizing all our food was very delicious.
Great little restaurant just north of broad ripple main Street. The food is very good, nice variation on some staple dishes. Beer selection is average, they have nice wine list and full bar. Our waitress, Kennedy, was super friendly (we were her first patio guests of the season). She got us set up with waters and menus right away. Drinks out quickly, and food followed soon after. She was attentive without crowding or rushing us.
There are reserved parking spots in front but we usually park on the side street. Nice bar area. Good indoor and patio seating in the nice weather!
Perfect experience front to back. The entire waitstaff was warm despite how busy things got. Shout out to our server Bob, who had everything I look for in a server: a true host to the experience. Beer list was on point and every food item was above expectations, come here today!!
Fish and chips were really good. My vodka gimlet was well made and our waitress was a very nice and helpful. Oh ya try the bean soup, it was good.
Steak sandwich well done instead of medium difficult to eat, salad dressing poor quality
Right off the bat I will say that I have never been to this establishment.
I am merely here because I would love speak of the character of the owner of this restaurant; Joe
I had the pleasure of working with Joe for just two months, operating a very busy restaurant with high demand in San Diego around 2005.
All it took was two days for me to realize that Joe is a person of outstanding character; he gives every single person a fair shot, he wears his heart on his sleeve and he truly wishes the best experience for anyone who walks into his place of business.
Though I have not seen Joe for sixteen years, he continues to be a mentor of mine. As I have continued to operate within the food and beverage business from San Diego to Las Vegas to Los Angeles, it's Joe's standards that I hope to live up to.
If and when I make it to the Indianapolis area, I look forward to visiting Joe and his establishment.
Cheers
Fire by the Monon was one of the first restaurants I tried when I moved to Indy three years ago. I am from Spain, so I would say my food quality and service standards are quite high. Fire by the Monon meets those standards with ease. I have visited this restaurant dozens of times over the last three years and the staff has not once failed to be kind, nice, and accommodating. Furthermore, the restaurant's breaded tenderloin (my favorite) is incredible, and they offer a pretty good rotating selection of local beers. I no longer live in Indiana, but I still make a point to visit every time I am around. It is that good!
We hit up Fire by the Monon yesterday for the first time and were very disappointed with ourselves for not having tried this place sooner. I can't speak to the ambiance of the interior as we asked to be seated outside and they got us seated right away. The whole place though gives off the feel of the locally owned restaurants you find exploring San Diego. There is a clear dedication to outdoor space, to quality ingredients and well prepared foods.
One of my favorite things on Earth is a fried green tomato. If they are on the menu, I am going to order them. They aren't hard to screw up and I often get some soggy waste of a tomato. When Ted (our awesome server), told us they were the seasonal appetizer, we gave them a go. They were so ridiculously well prepared that I probably spent a third of the meal talking about the appetizer.
Speaking of Ted, the overall service was fantastic. It was prompt but we never felt rushed. When he heard my 11 year old daughter talking to us about getting something "fun" to drink he looked right at her and said "I will get them to whip you up something sweet."
The whole experience was fantastic. We will be back.
Had my first visit to Fire by the Monon recently and to say the least, I can't wait to go back! Great, relaxed ambiance and an even greater menu and staff. Dylan was an attentive server and gave honest suggestions on what to try. Everything on the menu sounded so good, definitely tough to choose only 1 thing but you can't go wrong with anything! All the portions were huge and everything was delicious. The Peach Bread Pudding was AMAZING & left craving some more! Will definitely be back to try out some of their other menu items!
Edit: Have been back quite a few times since my original review and I just wanted to update that I continue to be impressed with how personable all of the staff has been with us! They're dog friendly and I love that they bring out a small plate of treats for our pups. They enjoyed their yummy treats and I loved that they care enough about their customers to make sure our pups had a great dining experience too!
Fire by the Monon was such a fantastic decision! Their beer/cider/craft selection is STELLAR!!!!! Their food is absolutely GOURMET 🤩😍🥰 It was a wonderful treat to eat on the patio after driving in from the Chicagoland area and having one of our best friends come visit Indiana for the first time from Florida 🎉🎊 We loved everything about our experience here, and our waitress made the perfect suggestions for what we were looking for! Thank you THANK YOU 🙏
Hosts seem to have an attitude bartender was awesome food was fantastic could not eat all of it big portions had the fire going on outside which got my attention when to take my drink outside just to sit until my food was ready the hostess come running saying I could not sit out there because they did not have the staff rude should not have the fire going if you can't sit out there . Even when I told the bartender I'm just going to take my drink out there it's such a beautiful day bartender said okay I even said I will come back in to eat my food right here at the bar she said okay don't understand the attitude of the host or why that was even said.
Great spot to bring the family for dinner, or just a few friends for cocktails.
Delicious. Many tempting items on the menu. Pulled pork had some unexpected heat, but still very delicious. The beer cheese appetizer was disappointing for my taste; just not what I expected and didn't taste much like beer. Service was great. Love the Broad Ripple location. My cousin ordered the Greuben Sandwich, a Reuben sandwich made with fried grouper. She loved it. The fish was plump, moist and tender. I will order that next time.
Great atmosphere, terrific servers! Always a good time had by all.
We love sitting in the cozy bar area. We had great service and our sandwiches and drinks were yummy. Anything on the menu is made with love!
We got seated quickly on a Friday night. Server Derrick was great. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. Both of us had burgers, and they were quite good; sides of sweet potato fries and grilled asparagus were yummy. Passed on dessert, but won't next time. Enjoyed the visit!
Wish I would've taken a picture but I gobbled it down too fast! Been there a few times, always comfortable and delicious, and a great place to take the kids, and your dog too. I've always had very good food but today's lunch was downright fabulous! I got the Chipotle Agave Salmon special, oh my goodness delish. And even though I was full from my entree, I had to try the bread pudding which was also exceptional!
Food here is always tasty. Bartender took severalllllll minutes to order our food. Place wasn't busy, but could tell she was skipping us. 3 star on the service.
Visited this place for dinner with my wife. We were greeted and seated promptly in the bar area. A non-"trendy" and laid back vibe. We had fried pickles as an app. Very good and crisp without being overly greasy. She had a cobb salad and I had the top sirloin with mashed potatoes. Both meals came out quickly and were well above our expectations. Very good food without any pretense and good service. Definitely recommend.
This is a fun and casual place. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. David was funny and wonderful! The dirty mac and cheese was our favorite. David brought a side of barbecue sauce to dip it in and that put it over the top. We live an hour away but will definitely be back!
Normally I don't post reviews but this place was amazing, I went with two other people and split the pulled pork nachos, Mac and cheese, beer cheese dip, carnivore flat bread, inferno burger, and the tug of war and had some of their peach bread pudding with vanilla ice cream with Maker's Mark caramel on the side, and not only was all of the food absolutely fantastic, but our waiter was the greatest. He brought us extra plates, and another table because of how we were dividing the food took up more space, then gave us his reviews for the best stuff(which obviously didn't disappoint) the service was fantastic. So if you go ask for David as a waiter. Also portion sizes are big, and prices are so agreeable I'm usually a cheapskate, but they blew me away. 10/10 will do it again. Already planning the next trip and I live four hours away.
Great flavors. Atmosphere has a historic feel and is neat. Discovered it was once a house. A little drafty though, but to be expected.
So great! The pork chops are seriously amazing. Staff was super nice, gave helpful advice on food and drinks. A decent cider selection which you don't always find at places. I would love to go back and check out the outside seating portion, but the inside was quaint and it was a good experience. Prices were pretty good I think, pork chops w two sides for $18 which is a little less than what I would have paid in general so I was happy.
Had the tenderloin. It was absolutely delicious. It was also huge. I had the tenderloin for 3 different meals.
A solid place for some good food, a beer, and good service. The fish and chips are great, as are the burgers. If you get there and parking is full, there is near by back in parking by the monon trail. Enjoy!
Had both the salmon and the trout, and they are some of the best fish entrees anywhere in the city. Cocktails were amazing, and I left full and satisfied with leftovers as well. Staff is attentive and warm, which was a welcome addition to a wonderful meal.
This was a great place with delicious food! There is a dog friendly area, and so we brought our dogs. Before we even got to our table, they had bowls of ice water and a small plate of treats for them. Everyone was very nice to the dogs and made sure we felt they were welcome, not just tolerated. This would be enough for five stars in my book, but the food was also excellent! I ordered a burger cooked medium, and it was delivered to me perfectly! It was so juicy and flavorful, with a perfectly crispy outside, and the side of onion rings I ordered was good too. Would highly recommend!
The food and service is AMAZING. Our server was quick and friendly. They made sure that our dog was well taken care, too with treats and ice water. We went for dinner and enjoyed a meal on the patio with our dog. This is easily one of our favorite finds in Indy and we will definitely be coming back in the future.
Always an incredible meal and atmosphere! The tenderloin is hilariously huge, you'll need 3 buns haha. The Grouper is my favorite sandwich anywhere. Genius. The wait staff is always awesome and the outside eating areas are excellent! If you haven't been here, go out of your way to visit.
Service was great, very attentive. Food was even better!
The service was wonderful and the food was outstanding! My wife and I will be definitely making a return trip to this top notch Broad Ripple restaurant.
Place was great! The service was top notch and the entire staff is friendly. We got right in and too a table. For dinner, I had the bourbon sriracha pork chop (6 oz) on a skillet of fried mushrooms and onions, complimented perfectly with mashed potatoes and asparagus. I knew just how good it was because my lady doesn’t really care for spicy food and she loved it. For desert we got the s’more brownie and it was a perfect end to a good meal. Very nice place to meet friend, chat and have a good meal.
Very busy Friday night around 7pm. Shouldn't be surprised. Waited inside in bar area. Waitress very hospitable as others were doing the same. Notified of seat ready about 20 minutes later. Took inside seating due to heat outside. Seating area and food were fine. Big problem was the noise. Most likely due to construction design and layout, as this appears to be a converted house, but it was a big "downer" for us. We could go back but would try outside instead of inside.
Overall I really liked this Fire by the Moon and will almost certainly be returning. The estimated wait time was accurate and the link to see your place on line was nice. The waiter was prompt and helpful. Good beer selection. Good food. The bacon burger with Sriracha sauce was just the right amount of spicy.
Stopped by here on a weekday evening for dinner with a friend. The pork tacos were delicious, wait staff were friendly, and I liked the restaurant's ambiance and decor. Only negative was that parking (even on a Wednesday evening) was a nightmare. Had to circle nearby side streets several times until I found a spot to parallel park in the neighborhood. The parking spot I found was pretty far from the restaurant, and the lack of street lights made the dark walk back to my car a bit unpleasant.
Jake was an amazing server who knew the menu very well! He was not pushy and even spent time joking with us! Ordered a Bourbon Burger- well done and it was not dry at all and very well flavored! I would definitely return 😊😊 …
I am basing this rating on one visit but I do plan to go back. The food I had was delicious. I had a grilled salmon sandwich without the bread so basically a nice size grilled and smoked salmon fillet that was SO good I've been craving it ever since. It came with a lemon dill mayo I believe which was very good and I had a side of fries - also quite good and I'm very picky about fries! It was also served with a YUMMY "house" sauce or dip of some sort that was a simple and delicious sweet pepper flavored concoction that seemed like a cross between homemade ketchup and maybe Thousand Island dressing? It was magically delicious! I ate it on salmon and fries and MAY have poured the rest directly into my mouth...but I'm not admitting that. The waiter was friendly without being at all annoying. He knew the menu well and made honest recommendations. We ordered the appetizer special - fried green tomatoes - but he came back out to let us know that he would not be serving them because he said they were just not great at this point because the tomatoes were too mushy. So glad he did that because I would have been really disappointed with a mushy version of one of my fav dishes. REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE. I want to go back a.s.a.p.!
Stopped by on a whim with a friend. We split the pulled pork nachos and the Dirty Mac n Cheese. Both dishes were very good. They also had a cherry wheat ale that was not bad. For desert was the peach bread pudding was superb - try it. Overall a good place to check out in Broadripple.
We ordered salads and could easily have split one between the two of us. I enjoyed the fruit salad, which had plenty of fresh berries. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was efficient, and pleasant. I can't wait for the warmer weather so we can go back and eat outside.
The food was decent and the outside seating area seemed nice but we were not impressed with the service we received and the inside was very loud. It's an open floor plan with wood floors so sound carries and people walking and talking at normal levels sounded much louder than it would. But it was a 20 minute wait to eat outside (even though I saw several empty tables but maybe people had reservations) so we decided to eat inside.
They were fairly busy but by no means slammed and our waiter was extremely slow. I ordered a white sangria and it took him about 15 minutes to finally bring it to me. At first I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe the bar was backed up but when he finally brought it to me it was literally just a little bottle that he opened and gave to me with a glass of ice. He could have brought it with our waters. It took awhile for him to come get our orders but the food was hot when it came out so at least it wasn't just sitting there. Then after all 3 of us were done eating we waited for at least half an hour for him to come get our plates. At one point he was walking down the hall and made eye contact with me as I was motioning for him to come over and instead he turned and disappeared into the back for another 5-10 minutes. I have never been tempted to just walk out without paying and the only thing that kept me from it was knowing that other people would be missing out on payment for their work and what they provided. I had been planning on ordering dessert but I didn't want to be stuck there for another hour.
I'm giving this 3 stars because the food was pretty good, the outside seating area seemed much nicer and less loud, and the other waiters and waitresses seemed to be more on top of things. I think we just got a dud.
Great food and service. Great selection of craft beers! Was our first visit and we will definitely return. Family friendly and fast service!
Great food! Great service! We had tenderloin, Greuben and coop sandwiches. All of them were really good. Excellent bread pudding to share.
I’ll definitely be back to try some other dishes.
Excellent service. We had lunch Saturday around 12:15. The loaded potato soup was very good, pork tacos were excellent along with the dirty macaroni and cheese. Will be back.
As a visitor to Indy, this place was an awesome start to my trip to central Indiana. The staff was very friendly, the decor and patio dining areas are well designed, and the food was outrageous (in a good way). Put your diet aside for just a moment and get the mac and cheese with pork. Trust me. They also have a very good local beer menu. The waitress was kind enough to bring some samples to our table to decide on what we wanted. You will not regret visiting this place.
Attentive, friendly servers; lovely food. The blue cheese dressing is among the best I've had. My friend and I got the veggie sandwich: marinated portabella, fresh mozzarella, etc. Very good. The bun may have been just a tad dry, but that's my only negative observation.
It's a really nice place. The beer cheese and pretzel as an appetizer was delicious, the servers were friendly and kept our glasses full, and the Salmon my girlfriend had was great. My steak however was not great. I don't know why they do this but I ordered the 12oz Ribeye steak medium rare and it was brought out on a piping hot skillet like you would receive if you were at a Mexican restaurant and ordered fajitas. The steak was good but a little overcooked, but the hot skillet with the already overcooked (probably Medium) steak was a just a fail. I don't need the fanfare of a crazy sizzling skillet with my steak. It's a steak I'm already excited. So as you can imagine by the time I finished the steak, like 10 minutes after I got it, it was very dry from being continually cooked on the skillet. I would probably go back to this restaurant but I definitely wouldn't order a steak form there.
Food was good. Server was very attentive, but a little forgetful. Had a kind of a big problem in that we waited 10 minutes for a table they told was being cleared. Then they seated us at a four top when they were five of us and that table had been cleared earlier. Switched part way through the meal to a table made for 5.
This was my first visit to Fire by the Monon. I went with a couple of family members who have been there once before, and had enjoyed it previously. We each had sandwiches and they were delicious! This was shortly after two on a Sunday afternoon. The place was pretty busy but the wait was not long and the waiter was friendly. I would recommend this place to my friends.
Had my birthday dinner here! Warm, friendly atmosphere with excellent food! Even my grandma was able to find something good to eat and she doesn't like to eat out much. A great place for a fmaily dinner.
My family and I love Fire On the Monon. Their Fish Tacos were good. My kiddos enjoyed the Grilled Cheese w/Fries and the Cheese Pizza. My wife had a flat bread appetizer that I cannot remember the name of ( The Free Range something or another) which she enjoyed.
The wait staff was friendly and got our food to us quickly and well prepared. It was the perfect spot for a Sunday lunch. We cannot wait to go back.
Its always a good sign that the worst thing you can say about a place it that there is not enough parking.
Fire by the monon is one of the best surprises I've had in quite some time.
You will not only find an excellent staff who are warm and welcoming (shout out to or waiter Dillon ) but you will find a very nice atmosphere that may even be considered upscale. You will find food that is exceptional and at a very reasonable price.
The flavors bursting forward from the food shows the cook(s) take care and appreciate the dishes they present you with. Even the presentation of such food was above and beyond.
I will make this place a regular stop. I suggest you do the same.
Excellent service with delicious offerings for lunch! Pork tenderloin sandwich was bigger than the plate and perfectly fried. Grilled cheese with apple slice and roasted tomato spread was oh so yummy! Great value!
I love their food and Everyone is always so nice. The best part is that you can bring your dog with you and sit on the patio. The servers all love dogs and it's a wonderful place to be to hang out with your furry best friend. I recommend this place 100% and go as often as I can.
My husband and I love this place. We were just scrolling through yelp to figure out a new place to try, but decided to just go back here instead because we know we love it and it's well priced. Definitely not an place where you feel pressure to order quickly and move on... it has a casual relaxed atmosphere with kind servers who are patient and honest... and amazing food with big portions.
I like this place, my 5 yr old likes this place... Which is funny cuz it's not overtly kid friendly.
I've been consistently happy with my meals, wine drinkers I've gone with have been happy about the wine, the bill is always less than I'd expect. It's a nicer mid-tier restaurant that has awesome outside seating and it has parking :)
Went there for our first time during the virus shut down and was amazed!! I got the tenderloin that came in a pizza box because it was so big and even more delicious and my husband got the fish and chips that was just as good! Very friendly bartender that I picked up from! We will absolutely be back multiple times once opened for full buisness!
The server was great and the rainbow trout was really good. Nice restaurant for under $20/person. They're dog friendly as well and outside patio seating in warmer weather.
Been here twice with our dogs and the service and the atmosphere is fantastic! They provide dog treats and a water bowl for your pup and also have amazing human food. We love it here and will definitely keep coming back!
Pork tacos are phenomenal! Husband said best pork tenderloin sandwich he has had so far. Went with friends that have two kids. The kids cheese pizza is big enough for an adult!
The food was delicious, portions were large and sufficient. The beer selection on the menu was also great.
Perfect covid takeout food. I appreciate them staying carryout only and keeping their employees safe. The family 4 pack dirty Mac is such a good deal. Will definitely be getting takeout again soon.
Great restaurant with pretty tasty food. Enjoyed my meal and the available sides. Dessert was also tasty and a good size to split or have on your own if preferred. Quick service and nice atmosphere and choices to sit inside or outside.
Blue cheese pizza was the strongest flavor I’ve ever had. Blue cheese overload!!! place was awesome
This is by far my favorite place to eat in Indianapolis. Located near the heart of broadripple, it is close to tons of local shopping and fun local landmarks like the Monon Trail. However, the location is not what brings you to Fire by the Monon- it is always the food. There is nothing better than their pulled pork on just about anything. Eat it in the dirty mac n cheese, the flat break, on a burger, or all on it's own with a tug of war. I have never had an entree here that I didn't savor and enjoy thoroughly. As if that wasn't enough to bring you in, the sides are also fantastic- my favorite is their sweet potato waffle fries with their chipolte ranch dipping sauce. Another win is their regular waffle fries- always a delicious standby. They also have a perfect selection of local brews- which makes it the perfect place to try out some local legends. Whether you are meeting your friends or your co-workers, the atmosphere is comfortable and casual. There is a bar area if you are looking for a more adult atmosphere as well as a cozy front porch for summer outdoor dining. This hands down is my favorite place to eat and I would refer it again and again. If you are looking for a new favorite spot- look no further.
The bartenders at this place are very knowledgeable. The cocktails are fantastic and the food is unique but not in a pretentious way. Nice place to relax and catch up with friends.
One of my husband's and my favorite places. This is where we usually choose to bring family when they visit. We also like to frequent the patio and bring our dog when it's nice out. Great/consistent food, friendly/prompt service, relaxing atmosphere, and reasonable prices.
Easy to get to, great food, friendly and great service, yummy drafts, family friendly, near many other local businesses to check out.
Great staff and good meals. We had the blue cheese flatbread, which I would not recommend (it was a lot of blue cheese, like eating a wedge of it with some steak thrown in) but that was my opinion. The atmosphere is wonderful and the prices are fair! Check it out next weekend!
Fire by the Monon is great restaurant for grilled chicken sandwiches, pulled pork nachos and a good old fashioned pork tenderloin sandwich (huge). It’s nestled in the neighborhood areas of Broad Ripple very close to the Monon Trail. Meals generally run from $9-15.00 depending on what you order. Most alcoholic beverages are served and the environment is very family friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit.
Most of the food is pretty good but sometimes it is very good (not consistent). This is a great place to sit out on a nice day and enjoy the weather and a good beer. Dog friendly is a huge plus and all of the staff and service is excellent (especially Harrison, hes such a cutie, and so attentive) so definitely stop by!
One of our favorite restaurants in the city.
Best bang for your buck when considering dining out. Serving size meet the prices. And the food is delicious.
Give them a try. I recommend burger.
Went for lunch on a random Tuesday. Server was delightful and helpful, she knew the menu well and made excellent recommendations based off of what we shared we types of foods we enjoy. The free range chicken pesto flatbread was big enough for me to have lunch and take the remainder home. My hubby had the blackened mahi sandwich and was also pleased. Make certain to order fries and get their special dipping sauce- I will be back for the sauce!!
Yummmmmmm!!!!! My first visit will not be my last....an amazing and HUGE breaded pork tenderloin, onion rings... and fried green tomatoes.
Great food cooked to perfection every time. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, particularly Diane, love her. Good rotating craft beer choices on craft, about 10 or so to choose from.
Great, friendly carryout service, and DELICIOUS food! The Dirty Mac n' Cheese is amazing, and the veggie Flatbread is to die for! Definitely found a new favorite place in Indy!
In the area on business and checked the reviews for local fare that others thought worthy of our patronage; we found it. The service was great as well as the food. Microbrew list was average length, but many great selections. Will visit again next time I'm in town.
This is a friendly eatery in the heart of Broadripple near the Monon Trail with a lot of local brews and unique food options. The service and atmosphere is awesome for families. In the summer its also been known to be dog friendly, but call in advance.
The food is good quality and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was nice. Two of us ordered a "flatbread" as an appetizer and didn't end up ordering entrées because there was so much! The hot tea selection was pretty minimal, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it was good and I'd visit again.
Great service, cozy atmosphere. Food was delicious and portions are large. Loved the hearty blended tortilla soup and the b ackened Mahi sandwich. If you are looking for comfort food this place is great.
Always great food. Never had anything we didn't enjoy! Very friendly staff.
Close to work, so I'm a frequent visitor. Fantastic burgers and creative, tasty sandwiches, salads, wraps, and flatbreads. Best sweet potato fries anywhere. Make sure you try a dessert once in a while. Fast, friendly service.
A lot of variety and everything has been great.
Had always gone to Fire occasionally pre-COVID but they have really stepped up their game during the pandemic. They have stayed carry-out only making it their primary focus. Absolutely check all safety boxes, package food very well for transport, and are always incredibly friendly. They often notice my dog waiting for me outside and bring out a little container of bacon for him to take home. 5/5
What a nice spot, located in the middle of a neihborhood. The food options include a good range of pub options such as burgers, nachos, and salads. I had the pulled pork which was fantastic. I could smell the wood smoker so I knew this place was at least somewhat serious in their preparation.
The food came out screaming hot and the service was top knotch. We would definitely return for dinner and drinks.
Great experience! Our server was excellent, food was delicious. The a/c was cranked. Although most of us welcomed the cool, some in our group needed a sweater/hoodie so be prepared!!
We visited this place several years ago with friends and remembered their burgers tasted pretty amazing, so when we were in the area again, we stopped in for dinner. The food was good and the service was pretty decent. We'll definitely return.
In looking for a place to meet friends, Fire By the Monon would show up in search results. Finally in June 2015, my wife and I met friends for some light food and drinks. It was very nice and now is on my list of places to visit if I ever write that Indy travel guide!
The restaurant is quaint and cozy. It is locally owned by "Joe" who lives close by and always seems happy to talk with his customers. They are kid friendly. The kids menu even has an option to ask for additional plates and let your kids eat off your plate. The children will get a pack of crayons and coloring pages to keep them busy while waiting.
For the food: We've had a variety of dishes here. I love the fish tacos. My wife was talking with the owner about the tacos and said she wants to try them sometime with chicken. He said, "we can do that now if you want." So, she had them with chicken and loved them! There are a number of pork dishes and a number of mac & cheese dishes. The spicy pork bbq in mac and cheese was very good. The kids pizza is a good size. Our kids could split one (although they haven't yet - dad seems to find something to do with the left over pizza :) Burgers are great. We always get the beer cheese pretzels - hot pretzels with beer cheese dip!
Drink: there are excellent mixed drinks. See the photos for some of the offerings. Also the local beer selection is wide and accommodating.
Other: The bathrooms are very clean and updated. Again, they are also kid friendly with changing tables. My wife checked it out and added that there are even clean diapers in the bathroom - nice touch!
FBtM has great outdoor seating. You will see this right when you walk up. There are some seats close to an outdoor fire place if it is a chilly night and you want to sit outside. We did this once on a family visit. If you are sitting outside during the sunset, the seats on the west will get a short period where you cannot block the sun (it only lasts a bit until the sun is behind trees - still, sit with your back to the west and act surprised and concerned when the other people in your group pull out their dark sunglasses).
The location is in Broad Ripple down a side street and close to the Monon. Great location! They have a parking lot - not enough for everyone dining there to have a spot, but there is free and pay street parking close by. I have not every had a problem finding a free place to park.
I enjoy this restaurant and am glad I live close enough to frequent it often!
Great local restaurant. Everything on the menu is great. Best Tenderloin in Indy...buy an extra bun for leftovers. Very reasonable prices. Good craft beer selection. Friendly staff!
We tried this for the first time and it was awesome. The smoky bear burger is one of the best burgers i've ever had. Everyone at the table had food order envy. Everyone was extremely happy with their food. The service was equally as great as the food
Just ok the Mac and cheese was good but the fish and chips were not bad but not real fresh. The flat breads looked great but we didn't try one. Looks like a fun place for beer and pizza
One of the best eateries in Broadripple. The Fish and Chips were the best I've had in town. The Bier Cheese dip (made with Indy's Sunking Creme Ale) is a particularly stand-out dish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice as well. If you can, try to get a spot outdoors. The views of the river are tops.
Great food. Good vibes. Decent prices. Highly recommend. Only downside is parking, and sometimes they have a long wait.
Eclectic menu in a barn-like setting. I ordered the "famous" fish tacos and was disappointed- maybe it's because I am from California, but they tasted pretty bland. I sampled a friend's pork tenderloin sandwich and it was fantastic so I think I just ordered wrong.
Great service and food, very enjoyable!
This was our first time eating at Fire by the Monon. I had the Grouper Reuben, and it was delicious, very fresh tasting I almost thought that I was in Florida! The onion rings were amazing!
Our waitress was Lauren, and she had a great personality- very happy to help us with everything!
We will definitley be back
Relaxed atmosphere, but classy decor and wonderful menu. Great tap list, including some hard to find beers such as seasonals and specialty variants. Huge portions, great value.
Good place for a group, always great service. Tasty spinach salad, and from what I hear this is the place to go for a good tenderloin sandwich. Would like it more if they carried a wider variety of vegan/vegetarian items.
Great food, nice beer selection. Nice change of pace down haircut alley, away from busy broad ripple ave. We sat outside and had great service, even though they were fairly busy.
Will definitely come back!
This is one of my go-to restaurants in Broad Ripple. I've never had a bad meal here. Service is always great. Great decor. Will be back again and again
Really amazing food and even better service! Fried pickles and bread pudding were so delicious. We will definitely be back!
Delicious food and atmosphere. I loved being able to take my dog but they seemed very understaffed and had slow service. Overall I recommend it but get ready to wait an hour if you have a pet. Even if they quote you 25
Wonderful fun warming atmosphere. The food is rather delightful and yummy. The breaded tenderloin is to die for and it is larger than your face. Even if you have a large ass face.
Eric our server was awesome and the food was good also...
LOOOOVE this place. Why? The dirty mac and cheese. Dirty-friggin-awesome-mac and cheese. Absolute perfect dish, I made the mistake of sharing mine with 3 hungry boys. NEVER AGAIN! MINE. ALL. MINE.
I also had the Coop: Grilled chicken breast, sautéed mushrooms & onions, spinach, fresh mozzarella & red pepper pesto. So good!
Portions are very large, enough to feed at least two people, that is if you want to share. (NOT MY dirty mac. MINE.)
Pleasant staff, bartender is a little quirky and I would be lying if I told you I wasn't a little annoyed that he made my bloody Mary...not a bloody Mary. I want my bloody Mary to be made with vodka, not gin and just because I asked if you guys could make Micheladas did not mean I wanted my drink to taste like oysters. I will admit that the drink was still good..but when you expect something and you get something else it can be annoying.
We will definitely be back, I want to dine outside next time, maybe bring my pups. Well, only if the weather is under 82 degrees.
Good food good service
I just left there picking up lunch and the food is fresh and hot and the staff impeccable!! I will be back for fish and chips! Thanks guys!
So good... there's not enough stars.
The food is absolutely Awesome. No matter what we order, we have never been disappointed. If we could give them 10 stars we would.
Super nice place, fish tacos, pork tacos, strawberry salad are my favorites. Good price for the quantities. One of my favorite place in Broad Ripple.
Great place for a 4 person business meeting that took all afternoon. Wait staff attentive, but synced into the fact we were having a meeting. Upon learning that one of our members had recently had tonsils out, brought her a bowl of ice cream on the house!. I live a ways out of town and they even mailed me back a sweater I'd left there. Wow. . . now that's service!
Pick a bottle of $19 wine when you walk in the door, grab a table outside (when weather permits!) be sure to get an order of sweet potato fries (the best!) and a Flatbread to share with the table! Be sure to come with a bunch of great friends! (I'm talking to you, Goddesses! ) Prepare to enjoy!
Portions are very generous. Food was a little cold. Flatbread is just average.
The food was really good! I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and the staff was really nice. I'd like to go back when it's warmer so we could sit on the patio!
i order the greuben (grouper reuben), blackened instead of fried. highly recommend. plus a delicious starlight winter punch! 🤪 …
Very tasty and good prices
This place is excellent and fancy, it is kind of old fashioned and it isn't that busy in the day the only thing that I don't like is the black and bleu burger but other than that it is pretty cool. The price is kind of high which is the downside to this place and the place is pretty dang good and the cooks make the food pretty good
Great little spot up the Monon from Broad Ripple Ave. Lots of grilled meat and fish options. Everything my party tasted was great. Take people here when they tell you Broad Ripple is nothing but places for college kids to get drunk - it will change their minds.
Dog friendly patio, large portions and good food. We came with our two dogs and enjoyed awesome food while our dogs got yummy treats. Definitely worth it!
Loved the salmon and dad's steak was perfect! Easy for dad to get in and out plus handicap spot right out front. Staff was very compassionate with his age and mobility. #TravelAt95
Not very impressed. Unique building that has a cool ambience. The waiting staff was terrible as our waiter talked about gaming while my water sat empty for 15 minutes. Food was ok, nothing I'm craving to go back for. May try again for a second chance.
The service was good. The burger was cooked just as requested. The side of red slaw was horrible-it was warm and just tasted like cabbage and warm mayo.
The service was awesome!!! I would return just for that. The pretzel and beer cheese was awful. That was not a beer cheese sauce, it was a gravy. Broken gravy! I had to send it back. It was taken off my bill. No manager anywhere!!!
I don't come here often, but the service is always wonderful, and I am never disappointed in my food. Their drinks are pretty average, but they keep the menu changing, which is nice.
Fantastic! Great spot tucked away in Broad Ripple! Our party of 6 each had something different and every thing was impeccable! Great service and the food is phenomenal!
Grouper reuben sandwich and homemade onion rings were fabulous! And the cranberry bread pudding was to die for! Our server David was exceptional!
Our server was Jake! He is awesome. Great personality!!
Ordered the Pulled pork Nachos. To die for!!! Will definitely visit here again!!!
I've been there a couple times their food is awesome the servers are very kind and courteous but it does take a while for your order to come out but if that's because they're preparing it was love then you can't be mad LOL
Had the Greuben...twas magical. Also had a great experience with Dave, our server. Very engaging, great demeanor. Kept things entertaining without being overbearing. Totes Looking forward to coming back fo shizzle.
Cozy place with a nice bar and dining room. Fried green tomatoes were excellent as well as the flat bread pizzas. Service was excellent!
Our server Brad was spot-on you never needed or wanted for anything he was already on it he was very helpful and kind told us all the specials of the evening food was delicious as always we tried the pumpkin bread pudding it was so good and yummy the fried pickles for the best I've ever had love that dipping sauce
First time here and I had the "greuben" tonight. I love grouper and Reubens and it was great for the price! Their entrees are a little high priced but their sandwiches and burgers are very reasonable. I highly recommend trying the food here.
My son found this place while looking for somewhere to eat and it caught his eye because of the high-ranking it got. Very well worth the trip all four of us got something different and all of us really enjoyed our food.
I had roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus =5 stars.
My gf had salmon= 4.5 stars.
Her mother had cowboy cut porkchop= 4.25 stars.
My gf's stepdad had fish n chip= he seemed happy (hes ordered that there each of the 3 times he's been)
And well all shared a app of pulled pork nachos =5 stars. Each chip comes loaded with melted cheese and pulled pork on it (like a tiny piece of pizza). And in the center is the Pico, guac and sour cream.
Its not all messy with everything haphazardly thrown all over, but strategically placed!
Also there was a craft peach wheat beer (I'd say an abv of 5%) that was phenomenal!
The food is life! I'll be back.
Food was very very good. Lots of seating inside, outside, and at the bar. Bread pudding was one of the best I've ever had.
The food was simply perfect. Outside of that we could take our dog and sit on the patio. Our server David was just wonderful.
Google searched this place as we're from out of town. What a find. Good food reasonably priced. Jake, our server recommended the grouper Ruben sandwich and it was excellent. Highly recommended.
Only downside was the 40 minute wait. Good atmosphere, good service, and great food. Look forward to coming back again and trying more dishes.
Amazing food, service, and beer selection. If you are near Broad Ripple you need to go here. It has been my go to please for a long time.
Delicious, fresh food. Super friendly staff and cozy interior. Loved the variety of options. The Coop and Veggie flat bread are both AH-MAZING.
Nice, calm off-the-beaten path restaurant in Broad Ripple with a great patio and delicious food. I was impressed with the veggie flatbread for lunch. Plenty for two.
Food was okay. Waitress was nice. Not bad by any means but I do not see myself eating here again.
Local to indy but first time here and will be back. Amazing food and great service. Got the Ribeye special and didn't disappoint. Reasonably price for the bigger portions.
Great food and the biggest onion rings ever.
Great Broadripple lunch or dinner spot! Always good food that is never boring, friendly staff, clean facilities, and in walking distance to all of the other bripple spots. Would definitely recommend.
The staff was very friendly and brought water and treats for our dogs. The patio was great and the food was great too!
Great little spot in the heart of Broad Ripple. The potato soup was delicious! My aunt said the fish and chips were amazing.
Their carry out/curb side pick up is easy , food is good. Can't wait till they open dine in as well.
Blackened Mahi Mahi and a Groupen with the omg onion rings. The Groupen is a Reuben with fried Grouper instead.

David was our incredibly lovely server, amazing service, and food was phenomenal. Great bar menu, beer selection and wine selection! 10/10

What a great find! The pork nachos and Inferno Burger are great. My daughter and I can't wait to go back and introduce others to this place.
Food was good, but don't like ordering on the computer..You keep losing your order, goes to fast..

Friendly service, comfortable surroundings in the dining room, and the grouper reuben is delicious! Pairs well with the also tasty roasted veggies.
Berry Salad and Shrimp and Corn Chowder were delicious! Great service too!
My husband had a wonderful salmon dish, I had the trout which was pretty good, but perhaps a bit bland. Service was excellent.
I really enjoyed going to this restaurant. my parents took me for my birthday and their food was really good!! I would definitely go back again
Good place to go sit on the patio with your dog. Food is good quality. And drinks and beer selection have something for everyone.
Excellent food, atmosphere and staff!
Thanks Joe!
Pretty small place. Waiter sat us down by a big exit door and declined to move us. Food was average. Probably wouldn't come back.
Anything with pulled pork from this place is a 10 out of 10. Great atmosphere as well as fantastic drink selection. Most definitely recommend Fire by the Monon.
