Boogie Burger
The "Indianapolis Star" gave Boogie Burger four stars upon the restaurant's opening in 2007. Boogie Burger has quickly grown into a Broad Ripple institution, with its simple Americana fare. Burgers, fries and shakes are the staple here, and guests are not likely to find much better in Indianapolis. The chilly cheese fries is a meal unto itself.
