Fun Restaurants in Indianapolis

Fun Restaurants in Indianapolis
Capital of Indiana and 14th largest city in the United States, Indianapolis presents an astonishingly vibrant urban scene. While once known as primarily an industrial city, tourism has become an increasingly important part of Indianapolis' identity, leading to a rejuvenated downtown and a food scene well worth exploring.

Yats

Cajun. Creole. Crazy. Yats' motto just about sums up the appeal. Yats offers southern comfort food, such as beans and rice, in huge portions and with plenty of spice. Each dish comes with two slices of crispy buttered bread to soak up the decadent sauces. In line with its quirky reputation, Yats is cash-only and frequently accepts hand-written I.O.U.s from customers low on money.

Jazz Kitchen

If music with your meal sounds appealing, than there is no better option than Jazz Kitchen. Food is solid, but a little pricey. The paella is especially good. Ultimately, you are paying for the live music. With different bands every single night, you can expect to experience anything from jazz to latin performances.

Maxine's Chicken and Waffles

An unusual combination, chicken and waffles share every plate at this downtown institution.
