The 36 Essential Indianapolis Restaurants

"Have you ever had peach cobbler chicken and waffles? Or fried chicken pot pie? If you would like to correct the answer to either from “no” to “yes,” check out His Place Eatery, where traditional soul food and barbecue dishes are represented, plus a few twists on the classics. Husband and wife duo, chef James “Mackie” Jones and Shawn Jones, periodically add special menu items, like the pot pie: a deconstructed take with fried boneless chicken breast on top of a croissant-like pastry, topped with a creamy gravy studded with peas, carrots, and other vegetables. The couple do the standards well too, with fried chicken, fish, meatloaf, greens, yams, creamed corn, and more that all taste homemade." - Mike Gillis
