Indianapolis New Restaurants

Dave & Buster's: Not your typical arcade...

One of the hottest places around the Indianapolis restaurant circuit this summer would be Dave & Buster's. Of all the Indianapolis new restaurants opening up this summer this establishment definitely sets itself apart. Although they market themselves as a restaurant/arcade, let me assure you that this is not just another Chuck E. Cheese with a few kids games and mediocre pizza... this place is legit.

Randomly enough, I ended up at two separate Dave & Buster's over the course of five days, one in Cincinnati and the newest location just next to Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis. The biggest surprise to me was the menu! The menu came complete with options to fit anyone's food cravings. They offer everything from burgers, to salads, to chicken dishes, and quite a tempting dessert menu.

The food was also very high quality and hearty portions. Every member of the group I was with thought the food was solid, with good flavor and generous portions. They also have a lengthy drink menu for those who prefer to just have a drink while trying to play "whack-a-mole" and "skee-ball."

The only issue we had with the Indianapolis restaurant was the crowd. It was easy to see that this is the "hot spot" in Indianapolis right now. It took about 45 minutes for us to get seated and about 30 minutes for our food to come out.

My suggestion would be to go when they have their "Eat & Play Special" (which consists of a meal & $10 game card for $15.99) Times vary, so be sure to check the website. Also, make sure to leave plenty of time for the games. They have games that would fit anyone's preferences and you will definitely want to check those out!

If you're looking for a fun place to show off your competitive skills with friends, I would highly recommend checking out this restaurant in Indianapolis soon!

Why I love Scotty's

Posted Monday, February 23, 2009 by BJ McKay

Scotty's Brewhouse in Downtown Indianapolis boasts the largest restaurant menu in Indianapolis. If you are looking at Indianapolis New Restaurants take a trip to Scotties.

As an aside, I used to wait tables at the Original Scotties in Muncie, IN and if I can vouch for nothing less it is easily the cleanest restaurant in the entire universe.

As for the management, Scott Wise is the caliber of restaurant owner that I wish I could be! He's a risk taking, innovative, marketing machine. If that weren't enough, his restaurant delivers on all his promises.

The experience is incredibly consistent for the volume of customers that Scotty's serves everyday. Scotty's will compete and win business away from other Downtown Indianapolis Restaurants because he is willing to earn you away. That cannot be underestimated for a restaurantuer. (Did I spell that right?)

Another homerun from a marketer that all Indianpolis restaurant owner's should take notes from.

5 Guys has the best burgers around

Posted Tuesday, July 10, 2007 by Mike Hinker

5 Guys is a new restaurant that opened in Indy right off of 86th street a little east of Michigan. It specializes in hamburgers but their hot dogs and fries are also delicious. It makes me feel at home because 5 Guys started back in the Washington D.C. metro area (I am from Northern Virginia). Before moving to Indy for college, 5 Guys was my favorite restaurant to grab a burger. Also, their burgers are lean beef and their fries are made with peanut oil so you do not have to feel so guilty when enjoying your meal. Give 5 Guys a chance, I promise you will see why the Washingtonian Magizine named their burgers the "best burger in Washington" six years in a row. I bet it won't be long before they have the best burger in Indy!
