This is THE place to get a frosty mug of homemade rootbeer and a basket of onion rings! My personal favorite is the pizza burger with all the fixings. With the old school car hops and lights on for service, it really reminds me of a 1950s style place. I have never had a bad meal there, and always look forward to going back. Even though the pizza burger is my fave, sometimes you just have to get one of their delicious coney dogs or corndogs. I can't get enough!
Pros: Root Beer, Onion Rings, all the food
Cons: None

If you like the taste of seafood and taking someone along who doesn't, Rick's Cafe Boatyard is a recommendation to consider seriously. It was funny as I also checked into the reviews of Rick's and was concerned about comments of slow and poor service. I looked at the dates to see how recent they were. Six years ago can not possibly reflect the current business philosophy.
I am happy to say it doesn't. Rock's had already filled in its prime reservations slots which made me take one an hour earlier than I wished. I came with three lovely ladies and even though we were twenty minutes late, we were seated right away. No arguments. No problem. We were waited on quickly, food came out quickly, hot and delicious. My salmon roulade was perfect. The board-roasted whitefish drew a wonderful praise as did the Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Parmesean. Never went thirsty and the deserts (cheesecake and creme boule) were eaten down to the plate even though we all claimed we had no more room for any food.
Although the place was packed, we stayed with drinks and talked and laughed as the band played in the background. We should have left much earlier but enjoyed the restaurant for two and half hours without so much of having the check placed in front of us. When the check came, it was good to see that I would be paying about 35% less than I would downtown Indianapolis.
My only complaint? I like to finish my meal with an expresso. I was told Rick's machine was not working. When I asked the waitress "Where is Rick?" half-jokingly, she pointed him out for me. Easily approachable, Rick heard me out and said he would have that rectified. We'll see.
Regardless, I will return again and again. The menu is pretty large to get a feel at one sitting. So, if you want downtown cooking but the outside, quiet views then you need to try Rick's Cafe Boatyard. Remember that everything is ala carte so you pay a little more. Just enough, however, to make it special.
Pros: Menu selection, quick service, your pace - not theirs, value and experience
Cons: Parking can be cramped on full evenings but valle is available. Expresso would be nice

My family and I love the zoo. My daughter and wife love going there. We all have a fun family time together. The price is a little bit if your not going to buy a family pass. But the family pass makes it cheap. Just remember to bring your own lunch!

I recently moved to Indy from California and delayed having anyone touch my long hair for about 7 months (I'm pretty picky). Then I read another new resident's experience at Mode, particularly with stylist Angie. I had my hair cut today, and I have to say that Angie is the real deal -- a real talent. She listened to what I wanted, instantly had a plan and delivered with star-power. She gave me the best 'do I've had outside of L.A.
Mode is the place to go if you want to look good, and I appreciated its unpretentious atmosphere, friendly staff and fab stylist. Thank you, Angie, for making me feel like "home"...and look great, too!

We have been on a mission to find the best steak house in Indy and constantly come back to Sullivans! We haven't found better food anywhere. The service is good. We've had better. The atmosphere is ok...some of the tables are small and uncomfortable but when its all said and done....the food is amazing, period.
Pros: Steak, Martinis
Cons: Ambience in the dining room, (the bar is nice)

If you don't think this isn't the best burger in America, please provide the name and location of a better place. I travel throughout the country and always check out the best dives and diners. For burgers, this is the best, period. The large schooners of ice cold draft beer is the perfect complement. As for the service, it is always reasonable and pleasant. When they are busy it can be a little slow, but so what? Enjoy the diner/dive atmosphere and be glad you're getting the best burger in town.
Cons: None

I am a businessman who needs a conservative but very stylish cut. The fact that Complexions is a Day Spa and Boutique made me questions if I would find what I was looking for. However, there is a stylist, Jaime Zentz, who is experienced in men's cutting. She did a stellar job. I booked my next appointment in four weeks.
Pros: Great Men's Cut
Cons: none

We had a girl's weekend in Indianapolis. We took the 5 & 9 yr old. It was great and even us adults had a good time. The group interactions were great. The haunted house was worth the $6.50. The only con would be at the haunted house. There was a recorded voice for the scary haunted house. It said "flight 666 is now boarding", I thought that was crossing the line. But besides, it was great
Pros: Very fun, friendly and enticing.
Cons: None!

I have been a customer since 1999. Hill's is reliable and I don't feel like I am being taken advantage of or sucked into something like at car dealerships or quick oil change places. I have appreciated their hardwork, honesty and efficiency. THANKS so much Hill's Garage!

Our family of 4 has been to NBO several times and we love it. From the Prime Rib (for my 78 year old mother),the Beef Manhattan (for my 12 year old daughter) and the great pizza. My husband and I have
been there for the lunch specials (way too much food to eat) and for breakfast. We have had a "grouchy"
waitress before, however we have only seen her on one visit. Everyone seems nice to us. You do have
to get there a little early on Saturday evenings. We meet friends there who live 30 minutes away, they
love the pizza and don't mind the drive either.
Pros: Great Pizza
Cons: Not enough parking
