This was my first time coming to this place and overall I was pretty disappointed.
We made reservations for a special birthday dinner for my mom for an off time on a Sunday. Upon checking in, the host seemed a little confused when looking for the reservation. Another host came over and found it. This is going to sound a little petty but neither of these guys acknowledged or wished a happy birthday to the guest of honor. The fact this was a birthday dinner was explicitly stated twice in the reservation. I also had to explicitly tell the server it was my mom’s birthday before it was acknowledge at all.
In the reservation I also made one request – that we were sat at a quiet table because my dad is hard of hearing. Well, we were sat amongst other guests in a very empty restaurant right under a speaker.
Another slightly annoying thing was that one of our two water bottles was not chilled. Some of the table was drinking nice cold water and others had room temperature water.
For our first course, everyone ordered the French onion soup. It had a good taste, but it should have been hotter. It also was lacking in the amount of cheese that was on it. This is where my biggest grievance comes in – after about 4 bites into our soup all of our entrees came out. We were all surprised and had to start shuffling all of our plates around. Now it was a decision of what do we let get cold, the already lukewarm soup, or the entrees that were brought out 10 minutes too early. It felt like we were being rushed and created an atmosphere that was not relaxed or enjoyable.
The taste of the entrees was average. Nothing special but not bad either.
Then the bill was brought out before my mother’s birthday dessert was even delivered. It again felt like we were being rushed. I would be more understanding to a rushed experience if we had not chosen an off time to eat. The restaurant was not busy and it should have been easy to get all of these grievances correct.
I would not recommend this restaurant for someone looking to make a special dinner night. There are a lot of better options at the same price point.

We drove by on our way thru town and picked this place to stop at, it was a nice place to relax and enjoy our time together. My husband had the meatloaf, it was SSOOO Good!! The mashed potatoes were delicious too! I got the blackened avocado chicken sandwich, it was more like a regular grilled chicken, and no sauce, but once I added bbq it was good. The cucumber salad was good and I added a baked potatoe that was perfect. Our wait for the food was a little long, they were not busy and the food came out warmish, not hot. I like to burn my mouth on things and would have thrown it in the microwave but thats my preference lol Overall Id return if we came thru again and had an hour and half to spare.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but my experience with the chicken sandwich was disappointing. After just two bites, the chicken was basically gone—no exaggeration. For a $16 sandwich, I expect a portion that at least covers the bun and feels worth the price.
My wife ordered the fried pork tenderloin and rated it 3.5 out of 5 stars. She mentioned it had a lot of breading compared to the amount of meat. My son had the ribs and thought they were average, giving them a 4 out of 5.
Overall, the meal was okay for my family, but my dish in particular fell short of expectations for the price.

A great bar and restaurant right in front of the hotel, by the monon trail.
Both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing with a drink.
It was hard to choose from the big menu, but went with the fish & chips, crab dip, and jambalaya pasta — all were delicious!
Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food.

Review: Grindstone on the Monon
The food at Grindstone on the Monon was okay, but unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. From the moment we walked in, we felt rushed. We had barely sat down when the waitress asked for our order. The appetizers arrived, and only about two minutes later our main dishes were brought out, which made the meal feel very hurried rather than enjoyable.
To make matters worse, the check was brought to the table before dessert even arrived. This was especially disappointing because we were there to celebrate a birthday and were hoping for a relaxed, celebratory atmosphere. Instead, the pacing of the service made it feel like we were being pushed out the door.
It’s a shame, because this was meant to be a special occasion, and the rushed service really took away from the experience.

We were passing through the Indianapolis area and made a significant detour to come here as our prior visit was great. However, we were wholeheartedly let down this time. We got the fish and chips and the Indiana pork tenderloin sandwich. The fish and chips was cold and soggy – a far cry from how much we enjoyed it the first time. The pork sanwhich was okay, not bad but quite bland and boring.
The service was a lot worse too – similar level of busy as before but far less attentive. When we’re passing through in the future, we’ll never make a point of stopping again.
Old Review:
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here. Our entrees were the fish and chips and the sliders (one filet and one pickle brined chicken).
The fish was great – one large, well fried piece with good fries too. Both sliders were good – the filet was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The chicken was largely overshadowed by the bacon that came on it but not in an bad way. The side of mashed potatoes was delectable – perfect.
Service was good.

I’m from Texas here on work and happened to come across this restaurant. I came in wondering what type of food Indiana was known for and asked the bartender Jasmine what she recommended. She said I should try the fried pork tenderloin. I could not believe how good it was and how fast it came out from the kitchen. I travel quite a bit was impressed by Jasmines knowledge of the food & drink menu which is pretty large. I would recommend 10/10.

Had a great experience from start to finish.
From the moment I called in my takeout order to the moment I picked it up, the service was thoughtful and attentive. I had a large order, and they even opened the door for me when I was leaving — a small gesture that made a big impression.
We ordered the Indiana Pork Tenderloin, two Kobe Burgers, Chicken Marsala, and buffalo wings as an appetizer. Everything was packaged securely in high-quality containers (not the typical foam), which I appreciated. The food was still warm when we arrived home, and everyone was genuinely happy with their meals.
The thoughtfulness, quality, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
We’ll definitely be returning.

Dogs allowed on the patio. Make a reservation. Wait staff was quick and on point. The overall vibe of the place was great. The food however is very lacking. Worst prime rib I’ve ever had. Who cooks a prime rib past medium rare? The Spinalis Dorsi was well well done and so very tough (it should be the most tender piece of the animal). The whole piece was tuff. It’s almost like they cooked it ahead of time and then reheated in a microwave or something. previous reviews said get the green beans and we did, barely cooked and no flavor. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were good. The doggo loved the prime rib (she ate what I didn’t). Oh and the crab dip app was good. If we ever go back will get a burger…maybe.
