I just ate at the most incredible steakhouse in Indianapolis. Fo Go de Chou offers thick cuts of fillet Mignon and even a salad buffet. Buffet Restaurants in Indianapolis have nothing on this steak house. It even beats going to sports bars or a good Greek restaurant like the one on the canal.

O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant36 S. Pennsylvania St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.974.0674
For our marketing team lunch last week, we make the quick trek down Pennsylvania Street to O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant. This was Abby's first restaurant selection since joining the Compendium team, and she definitely pulled through when the pressure was on!
O'Reilly's fits in well with other Indianapolis pubs, but definitely has it's own feel. It does a great job of combining the atmosphere of an old fashioned pub, with the modern day set-up that sports fanatics and business workers would be looking for.
The menu at this downtown Indianapolis restaurant is also one of their great selling points. They have many different variations of burgers, salads and wraps to choose from, as well as Irish specialties and a group of meals the offer as $5 lunch specials everyday.
For the most part, the portions were generous. Some of the salads were even overflowing off of the plates and I couldn't keep my BBQ sandwich intact because it was so big.
Most of us agreed that the biggest draw-back of the restaurant was the very smokey atmosphere. Also, what seemed to be a refreshing, chilly environment upon first walking into the restaurant turned into an ice-box feeling as we could hardly use our utensils because our hands were shivering due to the frigid temperature.
All in all, if you're looking for Indianapolis lunch restaurants, O'Reilly's possesses plenty favorable characteristics that make it the perfect location, be prepared to wait for a table if you want to eat outside, and bring a jacket if you're not a fan of the cold!

Front Page Sports Bar & Grill310 Massachusetts Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.631.6682
Apparently we loved the hike to Mass Ave enough last week to return there this week. Friday's destination: Front Page Sports Bar & Grill. One of the better known sports bars Indianapolis, Front Page provided all of the necessary features to create a very enjoyable lunch atmosphere.
Front Page has seating both indoors and outdoors, which makes it perfect on a warm afternoon. You better get there early on a nice day, or else the outdoor seating will quickly fill up.
The menu at this Indianapolis restaurant was fairly typical for a sports bar & grill. A cheeseburger and fries was the popular choice, with Mikey & Meghan getting the Blue Bella Burger (which Mikey describes simply as "heavenly") while I went for the classic BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger.
Chandra thoroughly enjoyed the GIANT tenderloin, and Megan opted for a delicious seafood entree. Abby, the newest addition to Compendium's marketing team, landed on the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. She thought the portion sizes were favorable and the sandwich had good flavor.
Like most of the places we've stumbled up in the past few weeks, the atmosphere makes this downtown Indianapolis restaurant an enjoyable place to eat. The wait staff was very helpful, the outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day, and the multiple big screen televisions inside make it a perfect place to watch a game with friends!

Recently there is a newer establishments in Broad Ripple. It is probably one of my favorite places to go when I need to get away from my roommates, or just campus in general, Brothers.
Brothers is a chain of restaurants located at almost every large college or university in Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Illinois. It is a great place to grab a bit to eat or a couple of drinks when you need to get away. It is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Broad Ripple,
just because of the atmosphere. They have several TV's around so if you want to grab the big game of your Alma Mater, or just to watch any game... it's the place to be.
One of my favorite things about Brothers is that througout the week, they have tons of specials. Tuesday nights, they have 2 dollar drafts!
So if you are looking for a great sports bar in Indianapolis, I would recommend Brothers.
*Also, it is non-smoking... so that is another perk that I love!

This week for the Marketing Team at Compendium's Friday lunch, we decided to keep it simple and check out the new location of Buffalo Wild Wings (it was my choice).
This new location just recently opened up and we were all having a craving for some hot wings.
When we got there, we were immediately seated and asked for drinks. Mikey and I both opted for the water because we both are trying to stop drinking pop (or soda, or "coke", or whatever you call it). Meghan and Chandra ordered their diet cokes (they serve Coke Products) and we put in our orders.
Meghan ordered 6 boneless wings with the "Asian Zing" sauce along with some onion rings. She said her food was delicious and the onion rings were perfectly cooked. The only thing she had against the place was the service
was a little slow for the lunchtime hour (which all of us thought was a bit odd).
Mikey ordered the Big Jack Daddy burger. It was a massive burger with BBQ, onion rings, and pulled pork on top of a burger. He mentioned today "I wish I got wings becuase it is a wing place, but next time... I'lll get wings"
I orderd the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich. It was a large chicken breast with a piece of swiss cheese, ranch dressing and the Medium sauce that you can get on wings. I was really excited to eat when i ordered it. It did meet almost every expectation that was causing my mouth to water. However, I do wish that their was more of the Medium sauce smothering the chicken breast. MMMMMM... so Good!
Chandra ordered the Ultimate Nachos, (which is supposed to be an appetizer. However, it came out it seemed like an entire meal! It was huge!
She had to share some of it with the rest of us.
As for the atmosphere, it was a sport bar type place, with TV's all over the place showing different sports channels so you won't miss an instant of any game if you go there. Also, if you aren't so much of a sports fanatic, you can play trivia games on some of the TV's! So if you are in town, the new location is almost on the corner of Pennsylvania and Washington street downtown Indianapolis. So go check it out!

Usual Suspects, located above well known basement bar in Broad Ripple, The Casba, is an upscale, yet casual Indianapolis restaurant/bar featuring great food and drinks. Enjoy a great dinner in a quiet atmosphere in the evening and then hang around as things get a bit louder into the night as this place is a favorite of the "late 20's and up" crowd in the neighborhood.
As a former ethnic Indianapolis restaurant, Greek to be exact, the menu featur
es great hummus and pita appetizers and Gyro entrees. Stuffed quesadillas, unique salads, mini burgers, and traditional entrees round out the menu. I reccomend the shrimp or caprese quesadilla and the hummus and pita appetizer.
Usual Suspects also features a great bar. Fresh sqeezed juice cocktails are a house specialty, the martini list has all the traditional faves, and the bartenders are always ready to make a good drink suggestion. Although not a true sports bar, the are several flat screen tv's around and it is a good place to watch a game if you're not in the mood for the traditional sports bar Indianapolis atmosphere.

Tucked away in the northeast side of Indianapolis on the Geist Reservoir lays one of my favorite sports bars and restaurants that I have ever been to. One of the reasons for my preference of this excellent Indianapolis restaurant is the fact that lots of my friends work there, and I love getting to see people I know when I go out to eat, but the main reason is the fact that it serves delicious food in a restaurant known for its night life and family restaurant style during the day. While I am not old enough to have much of an opinion when it comes to Indianapolis bars, or any bars 
for that matter, I would have to say that it seems to be quite an enjoyable place at night when I pass by it at night while driving to friends' houses. However, I can comment on the delicious food that Casler's serves to me each and every time that I have been there! If you are looking for a great burger, steak, pizza, or french fries (which I would assume just about everyone eats) then Casler's is the place for you. My personal favorite at this restaurant would have to be either its cheese fries appetizer or its meaty pizza, as I usually end up eating the entire thing to myself when I go there for lunch or dinner with my family! They also have a very nice atmosphere that mixes the sports bar and pub with the outside edges being booths for family enjoyment (not saying that the sports theme doesn't come across in the family section however!). Casler's is a great place to visit, and I would suggest to anyone who is tired of the downtown traffic to head up to Geist Reservoir at Olio Road and 116th Street and check it out!

While most of the restaurants I will include in my Indianapolis dining guide actually are located in downtown Indianapolis, sometimes a restaurant just grabs my attention enough that I feel the need to include it in my guide, even if it is located all the way out on Geist Reservoir. Most people have heard of Geist if they are from Indianapolis, as it is a mere half-hour drive east on I-70 and north on Olio Road, but most probably haven't heard of a pretty good restaurant located on its shores, known as Eddy's Bar and Eatery. I first heard about Eddy's through one of my friends that I went to high school with, and after the couple of times I have gone there for dinner, I sure am glad she told me about it. Eddy's Neighborhood Bar and 
Grill is an indoor-outdoor sports bar, and delicious eatery that serves everything from great steaks to Italian cuisine, to local seafood, all at a very reasonable price for its prime location with a view of Geist Reservoir. In my opinion, Eddy's is an anytime restaurant, in that one could have lunch or dinner there with colleagues, friends, relatives, business partners, families, or just about anyone else, because it has an atmosphere of what I would consider a seafood restaurant with an upscale twist. The combination, however, makes for a delicious lunch and dinner restaurant, with a great view, and anyone who goes there is bound to have a great and memorable experience. So, take the drive out to Eddy's Neighborhood Bar and Eatery--it is certainly worth it!

Although it has been quite a few years since I have visited Shula's Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis, I will never forget the experiences, nor the food, that I enjoyed there. The first time I walked into Shula's, probably around the age of eight years old, I clearly remember trying to decide in my head whether it was some type of sports bar or fine dining restaurant, but never really figuring out which. It isn't until right now that I have realized that it cannot be placed into some type of category as I had been trying to do, because it is a very interesting mixture of restaurants. Not only is it a fine dining restaurant that serves probably the best 
steaks in Indianapolis, but it is also an elegant sports bar (the menus are actually footballs!), as one would expect coming from the coach of the Miami Dolphins' perfect season Don Shula. In fact, Shula's Steakhouse could be included in many other categories in my opinion, because it is not so fine that children aren't completely welcome, making it an incredible family restaurant, but it is elegant enough to take a date on a special occasion or to hold a very professional meeting. Shula's is an all-in-one dining experience, bringing together sports, fine dining, families, romance, elegance, and great steaks! So, visit Shula's Steakhouse for any occasion and see why I consider it the best restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, by far.

Palomino Restaurant
49 West Maryland Street
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Phone:(317) 974-0400
Genre: American cuisine, seafood, bar
Rating: 4 out of 5
Location: Downtown Indianapolis
Palomino is a restaurant/bar establishment that sits no more than two block south of Monument Circle. It sports a great store front with the signature jumping Palomino on a burgundy overhang.
I have eaten at this restaurant close to five times over the last four years. Each time, however, the food seems to get better and the drinks get stronger! The dinner menu seems to be the best choice as the selection is finer. Naturally, I am a sucker for the Chicken Parmesan. It tastes exactly how this dish should: chicken is not too tough and the breaded crust is just crispy.
One recommendation I will make is that you try the coffee and tea. These two menu items are a great end-of-meal treat!! I give this restaurant 4 stars and a thumbs up!!
