Apocalypse Burger

First impressions upon walking in: The interior is very small and if it gets busy, it can feel cramped. However, they do have outside seating for the summer so it’s not that bad. The atmosphere is pretty nice for the most part and the waitresses are friendly too. Food wise, Everything was delicious. I got a double cheeseburger and added on bacon and a fried egg and boy it was out of this world. Super juicy, cooked to perfection, just excellent in general. The fries were also amazing! So overall, Apocalypse Burger is a great place if you’re in it for burgers. I’d recommend it if you make it to this area of Indianapolis.

We went this summer and sat outside and had an overall good experience. Our server was friendly and the food was tasty. My husband really enjoyed his burger and said it was on par with some of his favorites. I had the chicken sandwich which was crunchy, juicy and flavorful. My only complaint would be the fries. For all the toppings, they just didn’t have much flavor. The cheese sauce wasn’t coming through and that was disappointing. In the end though we’d return and recommend.

First, delicious. Nothing too fancy, no weird toppings or eyebrow raising items, just classic combinations done well. A really excellent smash burger at a really excellent price. Service is solid and tableside, always nice. Went on a busy night, full dinning room, still fast and friendly and good. Fries are piled high. A single order of onion rings, with a sweet onion flavor that pairs nicely with the batter, not too much of either ingredient, was easily sharable for a party of 6. The burger was great. Simply great. Good toppings, cooked well, the bun had a crisp edge that really shined. At times I was reminded of the HIMYM Burger Soliloquy. Parking ia dodgy, but that's the area, I respect not wasting space on a parking lot. Area is nice. Dinning room is well decorated and bathrooms were clean, but just two, so a little line at times.

We stopped by on our way to an event at Clowes Memorial Hall and the food and service were great. Loved the flavors of the smash burgers, fries, and onion rings. Everthing was hot and fresh. We will definitely be returning.

We had a great time! The music was definitely a vibe! Our server was on time and very friendly! The burgers...oh the burgers they melt in your mouth! And the fries! The loaded fries out do, another place I won't mention here. The root beer float...I mean! If I lived closer I would go more often!

This place was awesome! The fries were super fresh and cheesy, the burgers were smashed w crispy edges. The service was phenomenal. The manager even told me I could go across the street to Napolese pizzeria and order cocktails and bring them back to Apocalypse burger w me since they only served craft beer!! They also have a wheel that you can spin and win prizes or you might have to wear a banana suit and dance around the resteraunt 😂. We plan to return.

Popped in for a late lunch on a Saturday. Was still fairly busy, but was seated straight away. Started with the loaded fries, which were pretty good. Could have used a little more cheese sauce, as there wasn't enough to get the bacon to stick to them, leaving me scrounging around picking up those magical morsels. The bacon itself was pretty amazing. Instead of being sliced and crumbled, it was more of a lardon presentation. Intensely smoky, and crisp on the outside, but still tender inside. I could've eaten just a bowl of that and been supremely happy. Moving on to the Smashpocalypse Burger....two smashed patties with onion, pickle, white bbq and manchego. The meat was cooked perfectly, with lots of lacy crispy edges (meat candy), perfectly toasted buns, and the manchego was an interesting touch that I really enjoyed. The white bbq didn't really bring much to the table, though. Washed it all down with their Apocalypse Burger Beer, a kölsch that is apparently brewed especially for them by Bier Brewery, keeping it local. In all, it was a great experience, and I look forward to returning the next time I find myself in the area.

We sat outside on a beautiful Saturday evening in September. Even though the patio is close to the street, it had a nice ambiance and views. Our server, Celeste, was great...very knowledgeable and friendly but not pushy or obnoxious about it. We had the loaded fries, delicious. The bacon, seemingly high quality, was cut into cubes so you could actually taste it. The onion rings weren't bad but not our favorite. They were a large serving but the skinny kind of strings. I had the smashocalypse burger (pictured), would totally recommend and my SO had the Instaswag burger, a mustard grilled burger like In-N-Out, with 1000 island, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato. He really liked it, although it was messy. Would recommend!

Apocalypse Burger is the staple burger spot that I keep coming back to. I love introducing my friends to their delicious onion rings!! I've had pretty much everything on the menu and it's all great. It's a small place, but the seating is effective and the staff is always super friendly and quick. Love coming beer before events at Newfields, Holliday Park, and Broad Ripple!

Stopped in for a quick solo lunch while traveling for work. I got the "taste of Indy" and it was a hell of a deal for $18. Awesome smash burger take on a Big Mac, fried pickles with a killer dill dip, and a Coke Float with the best vanilla bean ice cream. My server was a nice fella who could have been a bit more attentive considering I was his only customer after the other table left, but otherwise pretty good. Ask for extra napkins!

A very solid burger joint to bring kids to. Love that the menu is not overwhelming. It's simple.... they make burgers. Even burgers on gluten free buns for an up charge. The staff is very friendly. It's clean. It's fast in and out. My kids like it. Us adults like it. If you like a big, meaty, beefy burger... this place isn't for you. This is a smash burger with awesome toppings. Personal fav is the burger with the white bbq sauce. Only downside is that parking in this area can really stink at peak hours.

We have now gone here twice in six days if that tells you anything. Last Saturday for lunch and tonight (Friday) for dinner. Both times Jocelyn took care of us and she's fantastic. Tonight i had the Apocalypse burger and it was off the chain. Make sure you request a side if the garlic aioli as a side with the fries. The homemade Ding Dong was amazing but we want to go back and try the Triple X Root Beer Ice Cream Float.

I didn't get a chance to dine in. Luckily the waitress asked me about any allergies. I told her that I was vegan and she quickly explained that the cauliflower and fries are cooked in the same grease as the chicken so it would be cross contaminated. The grease also has beef fat. I thanked her for her time and chose to leave. I appreciate her being upfront. I was looking forward to trying their food as this would've been my first visit. I was able to use the bathroom before sitting down. Gender neutral. Clean. I loved the pictures all around the bathroom. Hopefully the restaurant can have a small fryer for fries and cauliflower so that people like me can experience your restaurant. I wasn't able to try the food but the waitress was kind and the bathroom was clean. And I liked the decor.

This place is as cool as Martha Hoover herself. The burgers aren't cheap, but the ingredients are high-quality, the flavor is on point and the portions are generous. I'm going to focus this review on a few of my favorite things: - The unhappy meal. It's not called a kids meal, so it's cool enough for even my nine-year-old to still order without rolling his eyes. It comes with a toy of some kind, a burger and a mound of fries plus a juice box. (Note: One of my kiddos is a grilled cheese fanatic. We always order his unhappy meal with no burger... so it's a smashed bun with cheese in the middle. The servers have been happy to oblige this request.) -The GFD. It's literally a good effing deal. A burger, fries, and either a beer or a root beer float (which they're happy to give you for spoons for if you happen to have a family for like hours and nobody needs a whole effing root beer float at the end of this meal). - The lettuce bun. For me, it's not a diet thing... It's the cold crunch. It's so good. I wouldn't try it anywhere else, because I'd be afraid they give me a few pieces of grass of lettuce... But here it's literally a quarter of a head of lettuce, and it is glorious. Enjoy! And when you do, visit the bathrooms. They're full of quirky art and little things to make you smile...yes, even in a restaurant with an end of the world aesthetic.

I really had high hopes for this place. The 'American Wagu' (not a thing) burger was a real let down. Real wagu is so moist and flavorful,, this is not that. They used a super lean ground beef, with no juices which makes for a very dry burger, there's almost no fat in this burger. But for some folks that's what they want. The real sin was just how salty this burger was. I could still taste the salt a half hour after eating this. Go back and read any of my reviews, and you will not once find any mention of salt. The lack of attention to critical details like salt, and the fundamental misunderstanding of what Wagu is supposed to taste like makes this a hard pass.

Stopped here after attending an event at the Indianapolis Fair Grounds. Short drive from there and in a nice area. We had the Patty Melt and Istaswager with fries. Nice atmosphere and quick service. Food was really good. Will definitely be back if in the area.

The Patty Melt, fried cauliflower and fried pickles are good and Bottled Coke was good!!! The service was good and the staff was kind!!! The building is looking pretty cool! I personally recommend this place for lunch if you're in the Indianapolis area.

Do you want to have the best ice cream float of your life? If so, bring yourself down to Apocalypse Burger! Yes, I know this is a burger place, but dessert is the way to my heart. Now, I think most of us can agree that Coke from a glass bottle is superior. When you combine that with vanilla gelato, you get a winning combination! If that wasn't enough to get you in the door (or on the patio), cheese fries and smash burgers should do the trick. No canned nacho cheese here, just a rich and creamy perfection. Pair them with a crispy edged burger topper toppings or as a meal by themselves loaded with bacon and scallions. For vegetarians/vegans they offer either a 4 cheese toastie or an impossible burger.

Great crispy edged burger. We both opted for the apocalypse burger which seems to be everyone's go to here. The hubby added a fried egg while I had mine the standard way. This is a gooey drippy burger that runs down your wrists and elbows. Make sure to ask for extra napkins. We split a large fries and opted for both Mayo sauces. Both were heavier on the Mayo than the added flavorings. I found the fries to be too salty but that may be a person preference. We went early and still had to sit at the bar area. Note:this is a family friendly place. Not a huge alcohol selection but since their focus is on burgers makes sense.

If it's the end of the world and I want a burger, this is the place I would go! I made my maiden trip to Apocalypse Burger during Devour and it was everything I hoped for and more. The restaurant is a part of the Martha/Hoover/Cafe Patachou family so you know the food will be spot on and the interior will be welcoming. This restaurant has more of an edge to it, which is to be expected with its anarchy-themed decoration. The Devour menu was great. I chose the patty melt and it was it was basically a standard patty melt but it was built on dill pickle rye. This gave an edge to the sandwich and made it taste unique. The burgers were perfectly done and the sandwich was large and flavorful. The onion rings were a great side that were lightly breaded and not the least greasy. This meal made my burger cravings feel like a distant memory. The Devour menu came with dessert and I chose a home baked version of a "Large commercial snack food maker that sounds like "Mostess" chocolate cupcake. Their version, complete with the squiggle on the top was a decadent homage to all things snacky treat. The chocolate was dense and rich and the creamy filling was the stuff of angels. It melted in my mouth and stayed on my tongue and tastebuds long into the night. I think I will go again...glad it isn't the end of the world!

This is an under the radar gem. Truly terrific burgers. My wife and I were very impressed. Excellent service as well. If we're in the area again, we'll gladly return.

I wish I had remembered to take pictures of both burgers, but they smelled so good we had to dig in! The thing I appreciated most about the burgers aside from their taste was how hand held they truly are. I hate when burgers are so stacked with things they're hard to eat, but these smash burgers have perfectly selected ingredients to ensure you don't need to put the whole garden on your burger!! The fries were crispy and perfect in their ranch! I ordered takeout and I was able to pick it up almost immediately after ordering and it was already ready when I got there! The man greeting me inside and giving me my food was so nice! The interaction was less than two minutes, but it's still meaningful to have that great of service! We ordered the Plain Jane and the Smashpocalypse and split both- definitely recommend!

Great food, great service, and the ambiance was great. There are TVs to watch sports. Also had not soggy burger buns (finally!). The chicken sandwich was PERFECT. The nuggets were great and the patty melt too. We are definitely going here more often!

The burger was delicious! It had been a while since I'd been here and decided to change up from my usual burger spot. I went when plans were cancelled and thought I'd sit at the bar but that wasn't an option, not sure if it was just that day. I was impressed with the burger, the fries weren't my favorite. They weren't salted and tasted old and were cold. The truffle aioli sauce also wasn't what I've had at other places, it was a little thicker than I'm used to. It wasn't busy when I arrived and my server took a while to get to me. When I finally saw him he was over at a big table taking their order and someone else decided to come take my order, which I appreciated very much. Their beer menu isn't as varied as other places and for me it was no big deal. I was there for the burger and fries, which the burger made up for the fries. There's plenty of street parking around and they have a couple large tvs on the walls. It's a nice spot and they have a patio area which in the summer is great.

This place was actually way too good. It's very good for and for its level of quality it's a great price. The pickle chips and ranch where so good. The ding-dong is a house made cake that's a fancy version of the hostess snack. It was so delicious. The burger was pretty good. I have had better. But this one is a great price! The service was very quick. It's very nice and clean inside. And the staff were all friendly. Parking is kind of hard to find here, and it's kind of a walk from any public transit. Worth the journey though. Try this place out! For the price this food is amazing.

I've heard the hype for this spot, but unfortunately I was underwhelmed. The loaded fries were good. They come with HUGE chunks of bacon, but I would have liked more sauce for "loaded" fries. The burger was interesting. I got the smashpocalypse burger and had a few issues. The bun was way overly toasted for me, but that's a small thing. I found the burger had an odd sweetness to it. I'm not sure if it was the white bbq sauce or the cheese, but it completely overtook my pallet that that's all I could taste. Didn't get any burger flavor. I need to go back and try a different burger I think.

WOW!! Can't believe it took me so long to try this burger spot. I went with some friends and their teenager. It esthetically was set up nice and offered outdoor seating. We got fries to share which we should have gotten 2 orders as splitting between 4 was not enough. We did have to wait a little bit and it was not busy. However, once the burgers arrived we were very pleased. The teenager got a basic burger and absolutely loved it. Overall, I would definitely go back to this. Would not get drinks as they are kinda overpriced.

We were looking for a new restaurant close to home we hadn't been to. I kept changing my mind until I remembered the Apocalypse Burger on 49th Street. Parking is an issue here with the restaurants and businesses all in close proximity of each other. We lucked out and found parallel street parking directly across the street. Score! They have a cute patio you cross to get to the front door. We were told to sit anywhere so we grabbed a 4-top table. Starting off the humor was a small piece of paper with "Sit the F*** down". Made us laugh but I do know folks that would be offended but I just want bring them here. The faded menu bar code couldn't be scanned so we asked for a paper menu. We're old so we appreciate a paper menu to hold. The menu isn't huge but covers all the basics and everything is ala cart. I ordered the Smashapolypse Burger with 2 patties, Manchego Cheese, White BBQ sauce and fresh Lettuce, Tomato and Pickle. Totally messy, 4 napkins kind of Burger but a good flavor. I'd order again when I'm in the mood for a Burger. The bun was terrific and supported my 2 burger patties well. To go with my burger, I tried the Onion Rings (or Strings) which were very good. The fries or onion rings are enough for two people to share. Hubby ordered the Swagyu Dog which is 100% Waygu Beef Dog topped with ketchup, relish and onion. He said the dog was excellent and the bun was terrific. He tried the small fries which were light and crispy. Another favorite he really enjoyed was the spice in the Bier Brewery Pumpkin Beer (in the top 5). Apocalypse also offers Fried Chicken, Fried Mushroom and Duck Patties sandwiches. The interior is cute with a variety of 4-top tables with banquette seating along with the patio seating. The bathrooms have some colorful picture to checkout. Stop in and try a burger.

Did the devour menu, got fried pickles, Smashbirger, fries and Ding Dong cake. The burger was good and the Ding Dong cake. Not a fan of the fries and fried pickles were too salty. Good food but wasn't blown away

This old lady FORGOT to take photos as we all dived immediately into the best burger in town!! Met friends there from Terre Haute, before heading to Crown Hill tour. Fried cauliflower with red pepper crisps sprinkled for extra taste bud extravagance. Onion rings are thin cuts with just the right amount of breading so you can enjoy the flavor of the onions. My spouse and friend Lisa ate everything and they don't usually which is high marks. FREE PARKING @ the gas station next door adds to ease of enjoying this restaurant. Thank you!!

I went on a Sunday evening which was not packed & our waiter was very kind and fulfilled all of our needs! The food was AMAZING! I ordered an instaswag burger and added bacon and a fried egg (which was melt in your mouth good) and also I ordered the loaded fries! My fries could've used more cheese sauce, but overall they were worth ordering! The ambiance is quiet (for a Sunday evening), it was not packed and I think it's even cool that it's pet friendly for those who want to bring their fur babies for outside seating.

In a trendy spot at 49th and Penn, Apocalypse Burger has a nice open interior and some outside seating. You look up the menu with your phone and a QR Code. I ordered The 16$ meal I picked loaded fries with out scallions ( we all shared ) , Swagyu Beef Hotdog with only mustard and onion. (Forgot to take pic of dog) It came with mustard, onion , ketchup and pickle relish, wasn't too happy about that. I picked off what I could of the relish. The hotdog was good. Would have been better without the ketchup. Fries were amazing and bacon and cheese sauce was great. Husband got the smashpocalypse burger and fries. He said the burger was great but a bit messy. Extra napkins weren't available near by. Friend got plain jane and fries. Her fries got forgot. She liked her burger. Other friend got fried chicken sandwich. She said it was ok, not great not bad. We all shared an order of onion rings. We all said they were amazing!! Husband and I shared a black out ding dong cake. Being dark chocolate he loved it. I thought it was ok one bite was enough for me. *** I ordered what I thought was a meal combo not seeing it was a Devour Indy Menu. 16$ for loaded cheese fries, hotdog, and drink. I was charged 10$ for fries, 10$ for dog and 3$ for drink. If the Devour Indy is not an on going menu it needs to be deleted.*** Review 1000

One of my favorite burger spots in the city! Full of tons of bold flavors, super friendly staff, reasonable prices and trendy atmosphere. They have vegetarian options, and chicken options that don't ask you to compromise on flavor. This trip I had the fried chicken sandwich( burger), a generous size side of fries with wasabi aoli. The chicken sandwich was lightly breaded & juicy. The slaw on it was amazing. Fries were great and you get sooo much food for your money. Highly recommend this place :)

My friend and I stopped here without reservation around 7 pm. We were seated right away. The service was very good. The food was delectable. I got the house beer and it tasted very good. My friend tried my beer and she liked it too and she doesn't usually like beer. She got a huge glass coke. She enjoyed it. I got the impossible burger with all the stuff on it. It was one of the best vegetarian burgers I've ever had. Super yummy. My friend got the smash burger and fries. She liked it too. The aioli sauce was super tasty. Specifically the pickles on my burger were very delicious... were they homeade or store bought . Would definitely come back.

Stopped by here for first time last evening to pick up dinner for family. I've read the reviews and saw the pictures and figured it would be good but DAMN it was beyond good. The burgers were absolutely delicious, the buns toasted. My wife had "the best patty melt" she's ever had, and this is her GOTO to try a new hamburger joint. The fries were crispy salty with some unique choices of dipping sauces. I had the Wasabi aioli and this pushed the fries up and over the 5 start review. After the meal we each enjoyed one of their homemade dingdongs, these brought back memories of childhood with the GOOD hostess one. They were huge, dense, rich, cream filled and delicious. They are big enough you could share but once you take a bite you won't to.

I decided to make a trip to Apocalypse Burger for Devour Indy & i was NOT disappointed! The inside of the building is so cute, the music they play is great & the customer service is 10/10. Everyone was so kind. The patty melt was AMAZING & the fries were perfect they also come with a sauce of your choice either cheese sauce or aioli. They have a wide variety of sandwiches for everyone! You can also get your burger wrapped in lettuce no bun & i love that! The dessert choices were a Float either Root beer or Coke & a Ding Dong Cake. I had a Root Beer Float & it was just what i needed 10/10. i can't wait to go back!

TL;DR Great, pricey, smash burgers with simplified menu but why over complicate something that isn't needed. Coke out of a can for $3 so just get beer. What I like about this place, other than the tasty burger, is the simplified menu. For burgers, they have three: smashpocalypse, Instaswag or the plain Jane. Burgers come out of the kitchen quickly. There were 5 in our party and all three burgers were represented. The repeat customer in our group recommended the smashpocalypse with egg and bacon for a $16.50 burger. I couldn't justify the expense so I didn't add $4.50 to my burger. The staff was the most friendly I've experienced in some time. What I didn't like about this is the cost. It's expensive for what you get. Sides are extra too. The fires and onion rings are both thin cut which get cold fast. I am fan of thick (normal) cut fries and rings since they taste better and retain heat longer. $3 for a $.20 (at retail) can of pop is plain silly. I know it's a Patachou thing.

Martha Hoover is at it again. In 1994 or so, my best friend and I used to walk to Cafe Patachou for breakfast. Martha was behind the counter, and we spent $6.00 between the two of us. Times have changed. Hamaker's and Friendly Foods are long gone, and Cafe Patachou now occupies their former spaces. Essential Edibles is long gone, too. Its former space is occupied by Apocalypse Burger. Martha Hoover is 49th and Penn, and I can handle it - despite missing the places of yore. I love burgers, and I love French fries. I don't, however, get terribly excited about the opening of new burger joints. I'm also not inclined to spend exorbitant amounts of money on a burger (some exceptions apply). Given the reputation of Martha Hoover and her culinary retinue, I figured Apocalypse Burger would have some very fancy sandwich offerings - and I figured it would be expensive. This is certainly not the case, and I find their straightforward and reasonably priced menu a nice departure from the current trend. I had the Smashpocalypse Burger. It features two beef patties (yes, yes, you can substitute the beef for a plant-based patty). Since I couldn't care less, I didn't ask if the beef was locally sourced or grass-fed. The burger is topped with manchego cheese - along with white BBQ, and all the usual fixings. I don't know what "white BBQ" is, but I liked it. I opted for wasabi aioli on the side, which added a flavorful dose of fat to an already fattening meal. The burger itself is not terribly large for today's standards, but who can eat a burger without a mess of fries? The fries are on the high side of mediocre, and the small is decently sized. Go ahead, dip them in the cheese sauce. I found the staff at Apocalypse Burger to be very friendly and helpful. They seemed like Meridian-Kessler kids who were well raised. Ordering online is easy too, and those nice kids will even bring it to your car. Skip the $35 Apocalyspe Burger T-shirt. What a waste of money. Alrighty then. Apocalypse Burger does almost everything right, and it's a satisfying option on the mean streets of Meridian-Kessler.

We came here for Devour Indy and loved the simpleness of the menu. The burger was good no I love shoestring fries. But the real winners were the desserts. It was busy so service was a bit slow but everyone was nice/helpful with their suggestions. They also have a nice outdoor patio.

The place is a must try it was absolutely delicious. I like that they had the impossible patty as a substitute for no extra charge. I ordered the patty melt and it was so good. The fries have the perfect crunch to them I got the garlic aioli and a cheddar jalapeño as dipping sauces. The cheddar stole the show. I'm not a big chocolate cake person but the ding dong cake that was apart of the devour menu complexly made me reconsider. This will be a spot where I take friends if we want a chill spot for burgers

This Trendy Burger spot is neighborhood gem. We have noted it from pizzeria across the street. It has mix of families and couples young and 'our' age. We both got Apocolyptic burgers and shared a side of Onion rings/straws. The burgers are smashed tavern type, double patty and just done... good amount of fond flavors and grease to make it perfection burger. The rings were thinly cut and seasoned batter. Served hot. The fries are crispy McD size cut of a fresh potato with skin. Nicely flash fried. I got mine couple with House bear made by Bierworks and it was light and refreshing chaser with the meal. We will return.

We shared two incredible burgers. I had the patty melt and it was better than anything I've ever could imagine! I love a good patty melt and it was top notch. We also got the Instaswag Burger (so glad my friend wanted to try this and share our meal - because this also was TOP NOTCH!) Makes me want to come back and try two new options - but maybe not- cause these were that good. Service was great. We sat outside it was a beautiful day.

This place had been on my list for so long and I finally got to try it! After reading a lot of very mixed reviews I was unsure of what to order. I knew immediately I wanted an order of loaded fries to share with my friends and then I decided on the smash burger with the white BBQ sauce. All of the food was spot on and amazing! Fresh with incredible flavors! My friends and I inhaled the fries in what felt like two minutes. I'll be dreaming about that burger until I can get another one! The only thing that was not good here was the service. We waited almost 15 minutes before anyone came to even take our drink order. Once the fries were served we all wanted ketchup but no one came back to check-in to see how things were. That is the reason I am only giving a 4 star review.

I was craving a burger and this place, unfortunately, didn't satisfy that craving. Ordering online and pickup was a breeze and staff was friendly. I really liked the vibe. My group ordered multiple Smashpocalypse burgers, a Plain Jane, large onion rings, and a few Unhappy Meals. It was as if our order was made in haste, because things simply appeared thrown together. One person's burger had half their cheese on their wrapper. Buns are dry, and burgers were not all cooked to the same level. A member of my party said "it's like they don't know how to cook a burger so they just threw a bunch of stuff together in hopes that the flavors will overpower the burger", which is sad because ideally the add-ons would have enhanced the flavor. I really liked the onion rings! They were different than I expected but were delicious and the aioli added to the flavor experience. The Unhappy Meals came with little soldiers and Kool-Aid jammers, which was fun and easy peasy. I liked the carry-out boxes they came in. The fries were soggy and limp. They lacked flavor but were okay when dipped with ketchup. The "chicken littles" were not soft like a standard nugget. I liked the crunch factor, as something different, but they were dry. My kids don't eat nuggets on a regular basis so they wouldn't know the difference but if your kids are used to soft ones, these might surprise you. Overall, it was "fine". Would I go back if I was in the area again? Nah. But I wish them the best.

Wow! So so good. I had heard great things about this place and they did not disappoint. It's in a great location with other local businesses, street parking, and a dog friendly patio. We went for lunch on a Saturday close to when they opened and there was no wait. We got seated and served very quickly. The staff was extremely nice. We all got some sandwiches fries, and onion rings for the table. The burger was juicy and flavorful - that manchego cheese sure does it! The only thing I have to comment on is the onion rings. They are comparable to a blooming onion at Texas Roadhouse - very thin breading and onion. I prefer the thick onion rings so that was my only con! I would absolutely come back again.

I've been wanting to go here for a while because all of the social media posts really sell the food I finally got a chance to go with some friends and my experience was awesome the staff is amazing very attentive but not overbearing the menu small but my selection was great I got the apaco smash burger and it had white barbecue sauce on it and the the other toppings went well together we also got fries and the best kind of onion rings that are thin so you can actually enjoy the onion and not just the breading the dipping sauces were good there was a sweet ginger ranch something that reminded me of green goddess and an aïoli dip they also had a beer Kos that was tasty I'll definitely go back to try out some more menu items because everything sounds so delicious

Tasty burger and fries. Both were very well made. Fries were nice and crispy. I enjoyed the instaswag burger

We dined in with our five year old. It took an entire hour to get any food on the table. Unacceptable. This is quick service food. I politely asked two servers to please bring any part of our order that was ready as soon as it was ready so my kid could eat. The food finally arrived all at once. And it tasted fine. But not worth the wait. Our server was kind but young and really not able to comprehend how poor this service was. He told us the delay was because many takeaway orders were received. That sounds like an issue for management to address. I won't be back to find out if they do.

What a great burger spot! Went here last Saturday on one of the unseasonably warm days and got to sit in one of the outdoor tables. There's several basic burger options... Super delicious but no irrational toppings like a whole steak or baked potato on my burger, just good traditional burgers, a few other options, done to perfection! The fries also perfect. I could tell they were potatoes recently... And the choice of sauces was tempting I went with truffle aoli... So good. Washed it down with one of the wine spritzers they sell by the can for a perfect Saturday lunch! The available parking is free street parking. We had very friendly table service dining at the restaurant (indoor and outdoor) and they also do carry out and online ordering in advance!

I kind of like the in-your-face approach here. However, if you are hanging with easily offended folks, you may not want to bring them here. In short, not the appropriate spot for a business luncheon is what I'm trying to say. The food is good. I like a good smash burger, which is what they specialize in. I went the the Smashpocalypse as I am a fan of white BBQ sauce. I was not disappointed. The burger was a delicious mess to eat. Can't trust a non messy burger in my humble oppinion. I doesnt get good until your topping fall out the other end and your bun desintegrates along the way. The fries are also quite tasty. I saw the loaded fries from afar and had immediate fry envy, so next time I mus ttry those. Oooh the onion rings, not really rings, but more like tiny little breaded slivers. They remind of the French fried onions on a green bean casserole. Definitely a must try. I didn't have room for dessert, but my guests raved about how good the DingDong was. Parking can be a bit of a problem in this area though.

Such a good burger! I love a smash burger that's a little crispy. I got the smashpocalypse and it was crispy but a little dry, but the other toppings made up for it. We loved the buns - very croissant like. We ordered takeout and our order was not ready when we arrived at the designated time. It was fine because they ended up cooking everything fresh to order (waited about 10 minutes). It was also very busy inside. The loaded fries were excellent, and they leave them uncovered in the bag so they don't get soggy. We also got the ding dong cake which I loved. I can't think of a better burger I've had in Indy, but again, I love a crispy smash burger.

This place has the BEST marketing. Seriously! Their photos are beautiful and fun, their logo is awesome and their tone in all of their captions and comments makes me laugh. I love it. Seriously genius. They opened during quarantine and have been crushing it with their online ordering system and curbside takeout. We pulled up and didn't even need to call them, as a server came directly out to hand us our food. We ordered the chicken nugs, loaded fries, lettuce-wrapped burger, and double patty burger. The chicken nugs and loaded fries were great (bonus points for not putting a lid on the fries so they stayed crispy). Our burgers were super hard and tough, and I'm not sure why. I wasn't able to eat mine at all and I'm going to chock it off to the fact that we were probably one of the last orders of the night (picked up food at 8:50pm and they closed at 9pm). Maybe they were busy wrapping up and weren't paying as much attention to the burgers, so I'll give them another try down the road. However, I would recommend looking into this, as the food is much higher priced than typical fast food, so should be higher quality. Thanks, Apocalypse team!

Its Devour Indy time and I HAD to try this place out. Conveniently ordered online for take out. 2 smash burgers, loaded fries and a cake for one price. Burgers were fresh, yummy and big. The loaded fries were covered in cheese sauce, crispy bacon and green onions which made the fries even more delicious. If you like hostess ding dongs, I highly recommend the ding dong cake from Apocalypse Burger. It was so good!! Im excited to come back and try their brunch sometime as the monte cristo looks too good to be true.

What a seriously fun place for a delicious burger. We have gotten food both to-go and dined in and the concept is very open, clean and cozy. I love their social media because they always put snarky posts with no frills- you get a delicious burger and fries from a delicious burger place. Their staff is always friendly and service is very quick. They rotate various burger specials and we've never had a burger there that we didn't like. This is perfect for a cozy date night or with a group of family and friends. What you get is worth the money you spend and it's perfectly situated on the edge of Broadripple so it's quick in and out.

I was so looking forward to trying this place after seeing so many great reviews. I'm not sure if I came on a bad night or what. The fries... clearly burnt I had to double check other pictures but I don't even know why these were served. It I hadn't ordered takeout I would've taken them back. They were terrible, the burger wasn't bad the patty was seasoned really well. I'm hoping to try them again on another day.

Absolutely loved Apocalypse Burger! Such a cute place with amazing burgers. The menu is relatively limited so I would definitely check it out before you go but if an awesome burger is what you are looking for, an awesome burger is what you are gonna get!! Free street parking is available. I don't think they had their own parking lot. Fries were also delicious and the people were so nice!

Juicy burgers y'all! After a long day of yard work I needed a beer and a burger and this was the perfect choice! There was a sanitation station to sanitize your hands right on the patio before sitting down, QR menus and signs on the table to let you know if you can sit down or it's still needs to be cleaned. Covid sanitations on point! Apocalypse Burger - two smashed patties (they are all cooked one temp but juicy and delicious) with cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce & a white BBQ sauce. Truly didn't taste the bbq sauce but was fine with that. Instaburger - instagram worthy! Haha two patties covered in mustard, thousand island, onions, lettuce. If you don't like mustard, don't get this! Very mustardy flavor. Onion rings- crispy, small and comes with a sauce. The most popular is the truffle aioli but we tried the wasabi aioli and loved the spice! Loaded fries- a big order but cheese sauce was good and the bacon was crispy. Pro tip- get the bucket of kolsch (4 beers for $16) instead of paying per kolsch for $7 a pop!
