The 36 Essential Indianapolis Restaurants

"They serve up some of the best fried chicken at the Eagle, and it comes out of a pressure cooker. While the cooking method results in a different bird than you’ll find at most places, the technique has whole chickens selling all day long. You can also order a half or quarter chicken, but on your first visit, try the fried chicken sandwich: a simple formula of breaded chicken breast, topped with coleslaw and pickles, on a toasted bun that lets the bird shine. Be sure to try the hot honey on your chicken, along with sides that include greens, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, fries, specialty spoon bread, and more.  You will not be disappointed." - Mike Gillis
