Yats is SO tasty. Laid back vibe, overhead music that compliments the Knick knack atmosphere. Hot and flavorful food – absolutely delicious. Fishers is lucky to have a location. I don’t drink much soda, but a soft drink pairs so well with the spices and food. You can’t beat the garlic bread and if you’re in the mood it’s never wrong to get extra bread.
I consistently, at least, get the drunken chicken every time. You can’t go wrong with any of the options. Recommend a half and half if you like variety.

This place was great! The atmosphere is fun, with walls full of NOLA themed memorabilia. I was impressed with the value—the portion size was very generous, especially for the price. The food was delicious; I particularly liked the chicken maque choux, and the bread came with a nice Cajun seasoned butter. Employees were very friendly and had great personalities. I’ll definitely be back for this great experience!

YATS gave me the SHATS.
I was so excited to try this place based on the reviews. The staff were wonderful and kind. They gave me a HUGE plate of half and half (spinach/mushroom etouffee & drunken chicken) and double garlic bread. The flavors were good (not great, but still yum) and the portion was generous.
I was satisfied until about 30 minutes later…
I had to clench for my LIFE!! I thought I wouldn’t make it to a bathroom in time, woo Lord. This was the first thing I had eaten all day, so it definitely didn’t sit well with me. It was so bad I ended up having to come home and nap after. Not sure what happened with the food, but this tainted my experience. :/

After 1 bite, each, of the Drunken Chicken, Jambalaya, and Cajun-Buttered Baguette, I restrained myself so I could take a picture of my beautiful plate of food before it was gone, or so I thought. The portions “for one” were so huge that I had to take 1/3 of my meal home, a meal that cost $12, including two 1/2 entrees (called half-n-half), rice, 2 pieces of bread, a fountain drink!
I stopped in during lunch (12:30 pm) and was simultaneously please and dismayed that every table in the restaurant was full! I had wanted to dine in. Upon approaching the ordering counter, I was greeted by Eric, an employee who has worked for Yats for 13 years, 10 years at this location, and also received a shout out from the cook through the expo window. I told Eric it was my first time visiting any Yats, and although there was a queue building behind me, he greeted me like he was inviting me into his home. He explained to me that Yats is Cajun food with a Midwestern twist, which means not quite as much heat. But they had a serious hot sauce bar for those who wanted to bring the heat on their own. I thought, “Surely they don’t greet and take this kind of time with every customer,” but I was wrong. Eric sustained his Midwestern care for each customer, calling everyone by their first name, making everyone feel like they’d been friends for years.
After ordering, Eric asked if I wanted to eat there or take it to go, I glanced at the full dining room, saying I’d hoped to eat there, but … and before I could finish, the cook had already rushed my steaming meal to a table, claiming a seat for me before it was snatched up.
After gathering a small assortment of hot sauces, I thoroughly enjoyed my delicious meal. The Drunken Chicken was flavorful and mild. The Jambalaya had a ton of flavor and enough heat to make my nose run a bit. The Jambalaya was a bit tangier than I was used to, but it was still delicious. The lightly toasted bread was soft on the inside, allowing it to hold a generous pool of rich Cajun butter.
Eric thanked me for coming before I left and reminded me that this location is the original and busiest Yats. I guess Yats has sold franchise rights, and the franchised locations don’t always adhere to the same ideals as the original, family-owned locations. He specifically said you can expect continuity of quality and customer care at this location and in Carmel. I decided that I would make the drive to this location every time because it was that amazing.
I highly recommend this Yats location for its tasty, economical food and friendly atmosphere.

This place was great! I really liked the chicken maque choux, and the bread had a nice Cajun seasoned butter. I thought the portion size was very generous, especially for the price. They have several different hot sauces available to try (a little lagniappe, if you will). The employees were very friendly and had great personalties. The walls are full of NOLA themed memorabilia. I’ll definitely be back here when I’m in the area!

For me this is a different dining experience. Meaning, it is a place I would go to get side dishes, ( but it is their main course dish ) So I got the Happy Cow and the Drunken Chicken. The taste of these two dishes are excellent. Went home cooked 16 Catfish fillets and sat out on the deck enjoying the rest of our evening. Thanks to Yats in fishers. The pick below is a half and half order of the dish I got for work. ( This lets me know, this would be great as a side. )

Vegan white chilli is delicious!! Other vegetarian option, black bean and corn is also very good. I love the simplicity of the food. It’s very authentic – smells like New Orleans in here, and I liked the food more than most places in New Orleans.
We had half and half entree, and two people are a hearty meal for only 11 dollars! For desi janta – if you’re looking for Rajma Chawal with a twist, this place is for you! Good service and ambience. Their sauces and seasonings are too good. Will visit again!

“The flavor at Yats in Fishers is absolutely excellent! I highly recommend the Happy Cow and Drunken Chicken. While I see these flavor bombs as perfect side dish material, they stand alone beautifully as the main course. The taste was so good it inspired us to have a perfect evening: we went home, cooked 16 catfish fillets, and relaxed on the deck. Thanks to Yats in Fishers. “

This place is a hidden gem!
The food was amazing. I highly recommend getting 1/2 & 1/2 platters and then sharing to try a bunch of different things. We got a pint of gumbo, 1/2 each of chicken & chorizo, red beans and sausage, drunken chicken, & moque chou (mock shoe) chicken, all of it served over rice and with the most amazing bread!!!
I can’t wait to go back!!!
OH, AND JACK SENT US!!! Thanks Jack!!!!
