Aristocrat Pub & Oxford Room

I had a great first experience here! I ordered the Hoosier Tenderlion which Tasted surprisingly delicious. Also I was definitely pleased with the service we received here. Our waiter was very kind and answered all of our questions. However this restaurant is very busy and when we were here it was absolutely packed. Prices here were not horible and you are definitely getting what pay for. Overall if you decide to eat here you will not regret it!

Actually picked up an order to go here on a trip somewhere and we're very impressed by everything. Strawberry Blues Salad was so perfectly fresh and delicious! Came with strawberries and cantaloupe and I would not have expected this ever having cantaloupe in a salad and actually liking it! There was some goat cheese in the salad went so well with everything else going on. Very big portion size on this as well which I am very grateful for. For the sandwich, we actually picked the grill the tenderloin instead of the fried one to save some calories and it was a very good decision. People say that the sandwich can be a bit dry but this was actually lovely. We made a proper sandwich out of it with some lettuce and onion and some pickles as well and this was quite a flavorful one. 10/10 recommend! Because I strong as you had a really nice aesthetic Vibe and he would have loved to actually stay there and eat.

This is a super neat little restaurant!! I love historical places, and this one has been around since the 1930s. The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious. I loved the vegetarian mushroom ravioli! My partner very much enjoyed the Cuban sandwich.

I recently dined here, and it was an absolute treat! The Baked Brie appetizer was phenomenal!! The warm, gooey brie had a delightful brown sugar crust that paired perfectly with the crisp green apple slices. This combination was a beautiful balance of sweet and tart – a must-try! I also had the chicken strips, and they were equally delicious. The batter was spot-on and crispy. Service was great and food came out quickly! Whether you're there for a snack or a full meal, this spot has something special to offer. Highly recommend!

Updated Review (Visited 8/3/25): My wife and I returned early evening on August 3rd. I hesitated to post this because we genuinely like this place—but for contrast, I’m including my previous review below. This visit, my wife stuck with a proven winner: the breaded pork tenderloin. As always, it looked great, tasted even better, and was big enough to take some home. No complaints there. I went with the Reuben sandwich. Not bad, but it felt a bit light on the ingredients. Still, the main reason for this update is the appetizers. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip with nachos—solid choice. But I also wanted onion rings. I asked to sub them for the chips that came with my sandwich, but that wasn’t an option. You can only get onion rings as a separate appetizer. Fine, a little annoying, but whatever. The real issue? The onion rings were awful. Clearly frozen, straight out of a bag, and tasted like it. I love onion rings, but these were a mess, flavorless letdown. It’s not that hard to slice an onion, batter it, and fry it fresh. Not only does it cost less for the restaurant in the long run, but when done right, the result is far better—crispy, flavorful, and worth eating. These were not. I had to send them back which is something I have rarely done. Everything else we’ve had here has been great, which is why we keep coming back. But please, ditch the frozen onion rings. You’re better than that. (Previous Review Below for Contrast): Back for our second visit today at dinner around 6pm on 9/20. Classy is your first impression, lots of beautiful woodworking. Tastefully decorated with lots to look at, very folksy. Plenty of seating choices inside and out. Cozy booths and tables await you inside and an elegant bar. Outside plenty of seating with overhead fans when necessary. We sat outside this time around the weather was good and we enjoyed ourselves street side dining. The food here is very good and pleasantly priced. There was a very steady stream of people coming and going. Very busy here, parking could be your challenge, they have a small parking lot some street parking is available you’ll have to be quick. Today we got the - Super Nachos for $14 - STACKED CORN TORTILLAS, CHEESE SAUCE, PICO DE GALLO, CILANTRO AND MEXICAN QUESO FRESCO CHEESE. CHOOSE: AVOCADO, BLACK BEAN, OR CHICKEN this could easily be a four person appetizer. (It’s huge) And both of us choose the - The Hoosier Tenderloin $16 A CENTER CUT FRESH PORK LOIN, SEASONED BREADING, AND FRIED OR GRILLED we both got the breaded tenderloin I got fries and she got broccoli for sides. The Tenderloin’s huge pounded thin breaded and crispy fried. Absolutely delicious the French fries were snappy and perfect. The broccoli was smothered in butter and very tender and tasty. This is a great place to stop by for a bite. They have a large interesting menu, that deserves an eat through. 😊 We look forward to a return trip. We had a great time, good service and wonderful food.

Family of 4. Both my kids got the kids menu cheeseburger. I had a bite, it was pretty good. My wife and I ordered the Fish and Chips & the pork tenderloin sandwich then split...Best decision ever. Pork tenderloin was absolutely delicious. The fish and chips were also top notch. I'm from WI originally and I'll tell you, their tarter sauce is legit (Ranch is mid). Our bill was $50 (we all had waters). Overall it was an amazing meal.

I had lunch with my on Thursday around 1 pm. There is a small side lot for parking which was very helpful. We were immediately seated inside. Our server was excellent but heavily tattooed.she had nice suggestions and was attentive and friendly. The food was good but the French fries were surprisingly delicious. My Reubens was as expected and my guest had the fish and chips. Both were well prepared and plentiful. Highly recommended.

Aristocrat is a great pub to visit that opened many decades ago. They specialize in sandwiches and pub fare like cottage pie and fish and chips type meals, but they do offer entrees and pastas as well. The baked brie on the appetizer menu is delicious! Scallops weren’t my favorite preparation or flavor for some reason, but the salmon was good in a simply prepared way. They have a good beer list with a mix of local craft beers, national beers, and some European beers. Unfortunately we got a beer from the bottom of the keg that had clearly been oxidized, but they happily replaced it with one that tasted great. They have indoor and outdoor patio seating.

This was my first time stopping in at the aristocrat for several years. The inside definitely has a comfy English pub vibe as other reviewers have noted. I ordered the cherry chicken salad sandwich and upgraded to fries for $3. I'm glad I did because the fries were fantastic. Thick cut, crispy, with perfectly fluffy potato that melts in your mouth. Unfortunately the chicken salad did not deliver. The amount of chicken salad was pretty disappointing for a $15 price point. The croissant it came on was dense and overwhelmed the salad. The chicken salad itself was a bit dry and I needed to add mayo to compensate. There was nothing else on the sandwich like tomato or lettuce. The cherries were a delightful addition but couldn't make up for all of the other components. Overall it ended up being underwhelming. My husband ordered the fish and chips and agreed with me on the fries. His fish was hot and crispy and the breading seemed to have some cornmeal in it that added extra crunch. He also mentioned the tartar sauce being above average. All in all, the fish and chips was wayyyy better than the chicken salad. Our server was very friendly and attentive. And we enjoyed the ambiance and most of the food. We would definitely return, but I think I'd try a burger or the tenderloin.

Food was around a 4. Service and attitude a 1. We came in and asked for a table of 10. 90% of big room was available. Lady at desk was completely put out and she sat us at a table for 9. What I said it was for 10. She just grabbed the chair and threw it around the big ground table. There were tons of space in a long aisle that could've put tables together. Service took a while for them to come around and they didn't seem overly enjoyed any way shape or form. I will say everybody thought their food was pretty good. And everything that I saw people had looked pretty good. I then got a call for another 12 people to come over. So I addressed it with the same woman and she gave me the same attitude. I know they had just gotten a party of like 15 or 18 to go in and they set up the table for them, so I'm sure she was thinking. Oh my God now we're gonna be really busy , but I thought the entire purpose of owning a restaurant was to fill it. Then the manager came up, said she could help and I made a comment about the post she apologized said yeah sometimes she could be a little grouchy. She then came up to me and said I'm surprised that you feel like I'm being unaccommodating. I told her she was being unaccommodating. I know it was a busy weekend for the entire area with lots of sporting events, but if that's a problem either close or staff for it. By no means, should you ever have somebody with an attitude who doesn't really want a busy place as the host. For all I know she could be the owner I don't know and I don't care because we won't be going back.

Went in late on Sunday night after very long weekend. Bartender was fantastic. Super hospitable even though they were closing soon. We ordered and he asked if we had seen the feature, described it to us and we got it. All the food was great. People sitting at the bar were cool and we had great conversations.

I came here in my twenties for some pints at the beautiful wooden, pub-style bar. I've been here for a private party and thought the food was pretty good but not outstanding. I recently came back and had a Caesar salad with crispy lemon pepper chicken that checked all my boxes for when you want junk food but need some vegetables. The service was a bit slow even though it wasn't very crowded, and call me old fashioned but I really hate when a server has an AirPod in their ear while talking with me. My kids liked the antique-store vibes with model boats and lots of other things to look at. Summary: interesting atmosphere, decent food, service could be improved. As a parent of toddlers, I love that for a Broad Ripple spot, I can usually get a parking spot here.

My first visit here was with a group of approximately 13 which they handled well. Service was fast and friendly. Our waitress took our orders without writing anything down. Great memory. I opted for chicken strips and fries which were pretty good. They are known for their large tenderloins. I had half of one for lunch the next day and it was tasty. Aristocrat is old neighborhood hood pub with traditional wooden decor. There is covered patio seating in the front and small parking lot in the back. I recommend Aristocrat if you're in the area and in the mood For pub food.

Actually picked up an order to go here on a trip somewhere and we're very impressed by everything. Strawberry Blues Salad was so perfectly fresh and delicious! Came with strawberries and cantaloupe and I would not have expected this ever having cantaloupe in a salad and actually liking it! There was some goat cheese in the salad went so well with everything else going on. Very big portion size on this as well which I am very grateful for. For the sandwich, we actually picked the grill the tenderloin instead of the fried one to save some calories and it was a very good decision. People say that the sandwich can be a bit dry but this was actually lovely. We made a proper sandwich out of it with some lettuce and onion and some pickles as well and this was quite a flavorful one. 10/10 recommend! Because I strong as you had a really nice aesthetic Vibe and he would have loved to actually stay there and eat.

I usually come here for the Sunday brunch and as usual I am dragging a group of 12 or more people with me. We generally ambush these poor folk right at opening time. I have to say that they generally don't even flinch and just go ahead and put some tables together for us. The menu is still extensive, but until recently it had a lot more options on it. I think everyone can find something to their liking on the menu. The coffee is great here, the portions are generous and the prices reasonable. Service varies a bit, but is usually friendly and efficient. One of these days, we'll have to check out their regular menu too.

Kind of stumbled upon this place looking for lunch but wow such a fine looking establishment. You can't go wrong with the specialities and the schnitzel was special indeed. My German grandmother would be proud of this meal.

Had lunch with a friend. Haven't been here in a while I was glad the strawberry blues salad was the same as I remembered.

The Aristocrat is like a warm cozy hug. If you're looking for a local place with good food, good atmosphere, and a large selection of drinks, look no further! We love coming here, it's our comfort restaurant. Can't go wrong with the fish and chips and the pretzel and cheese is our fav appetizer. The staff is friendly and accommodating. We love it here.

This is a neat bar/restaurant with an English vibe. They have a huge selection of beers on tap and in bottles

Such a terrific restaurant. I used to visit this place more frequently about 10 years ago when I still drank. Their beer selection is one to behold. Now I just come for the food. Last time I went I had the linguini and meatballs. I asked for garlic bread, which was extra. While the bill was a little pricey, the service and food were so good it felt 100% worth it. This is a venerable establishment in south Broad Ripple and one of the places in Indy I think everyone who lives here and enjoys good food and a terrific atmosphere should visit. I need to come more often. Diverse, high quality menu and a cool vibe to it.

I visited here for lunch today for the first time. We were seated right away by a friendly host. I wanted to eat outdoors since it was a beautiful day. They have plenty of indoor seating and a bar. Our waiter was quick to help and friendly. I ordered the Classic Club sandwich w/ kettle chips and a coke to drink. It was a tasty and lovely lunch.

Vibes are immaculate. Food is a little mid. Perfect restored pub from the 1930s with a nautical theme that transports you to England. Friday nights have live music ($5 cover added to your bill) which happened to be pirate shanties and old English folk when we were. Brussels were a little undercooked for my liking, with the insides being very green and tough- steep for $13. Cottage pie was tasty, French onion soup was okay. However, the server was very sweet, helpful, attentive, and fast.

Stop in yesterday for a beer and appetizer. Ask the bartender if the pretzel with beer cheese was any good? He said yes so we ordered it. Pretzel came out heavily microwaved and had orange canned cheese served with one rotten apple slices. It was $14 and not worth even $2 We had four beers one appetizer for $48 Definitely not worth that. Won't be back there.

THIS is the home of the BEST breaded tenderloin in Indiana. Also, one of the greatest beer selections I've ever seen anywhere. Please, give it a try.

Second time visiting Aristocrat, really should come here more often because I live so close! It's was built in the late 1800s which gives it a very cool vibe! There's a bar side with lots of seating and then a family seating area. I've sat at the bar both times, or wait maybe it's 3 times, I've been here. Great bartenders each time! First time I came here I got the tenderloin which is hugeeee. It's a thin style, really liked it. It placed top 5 on my tenderloin list. This time I got the chicken parm! It's chicken parm on top of fettuccine Alfredo. Love that it's Alfredo and not just angel hair pasta. I really really enjoyed it. Classic old timey restaurant with great food and a great ambiance. Check it out!

I simply adore Aristocrat!! My mother & I have been patrons for over 20 years, which is a joy to be able to say these days. There's something so soothing about the classic pub interior. Our hostess was extremely welcoming and our server, Jay, was so kind & pleasant. I Mom & I ordered chicken salad sandwiches & my father had the fish & chips. Much to my delight, everyone loved their food, & we couldn't stop raving about the deliciousness of the fries. True pub-style, very crispy and seasoned! I'll probably try the tenderloin the next time we go, as the chicken salad lacked flavor, but the croissant & chips were quite tasty. The patio is as gorgeous & inviting as indoors, so look for me outside on a sunny day.

Come here for lunch and got the fish and chips, very average. The place does have a good atmosphere and I think it would be fun coming later at the night and having drinks.

Really great service at 5:30 on a Thursday. Logan, the bartender was very nice and the Hoosier sandwich lived up to the hype. Had a great sour beer, and loved the ambience too. Would definitely come back again.

Stumbled upon this place one day and had it in the back of my mind. My sister recommended it for dinner one night so we decided to try it out. The patio was packed with people which seemed like a good sign. We opted for indoor dining but it worked out in our favor because there was trivia! The inside had so much character and had that classic pub feel. I ordered the shrimp po boy and it was delicious. The shrimp was huge and it also came with very crispy fries. Everyone enjoyed their food. We ended up staying for trivia and got 2nd place which meant we won 2 free appetizer vouchers! Our server was great - so friendly. We will 100% be back for trivia and and to redeem our vouchers!!!!

Good food great service! We came here based on recommendations for the best pork tenderloin. It was good. HUGE! We shared it and got 2 buns as recommended by our server Chris. Wings were also good! Buffalo sauce was very traditional. Flavorful but not overwhelmingly spicy. Amazing ranch and blue cheese!! No pics but several of us got pastas! They were very impressed with those as well! We came in late night with a party of 8. Chris took great care of us. Would definitely recommend giving it a try. Huge menu and everything we had was good!

Wasn't vibing with the bartender as I like to sit at the bar when traveling. Had the "famous" Hoosier tenderloin. The guy recommended nothing on it - meat was good but it was all bland otherwise. They try to serve it as a burger. Skip the bread as it's irrelevant

Aristocrat's is one of our go-to restaurants for several years now. The food is consistently good, and we always feel confident in recommending to our friends. The refurbished 1933 building has an attractive interior with a split dining room, a fireplace with warm wooden walls and booths. Just past the hostess stand is their inviting and cozy bar area. The patio is our favorite spot to sit with the beautiful baskets filled with colorful annuals. The large hanging ferns make for an intimate and pleasant patio. Once the patio closes for the season, it is a longer wait for a table indoors. We enjoy sitting in the bar during the colder months. I often make a meal out of an appetizer, especially the warm Brie and their delicious bread or the Beer Cheese Dip served with apples and pretzel bread. The Spinach and Artichoke Dip is another good choice. My husband enjoys the tenderloins, burgers, linguine, and meatballs or fish and chips. My all-time favorite is the amazing and super tender Chicken Marsala on top of a generous portion of mashed potatoes and marsala gravy. It is served with a side of soup or side salad. I always go with the dark roux and cheesy French onion soup, but the salad is also a good option as it is always fresh and crisp. Brunch is served on the weekends, and live music is on Thursdays, if I remember correctly. Always a large crowd on live music nights. Street parking is available on College Avenue or surrounding streets or in the lot directly next to Aristocrat's. Great location for appetizers and cocktails with friends, a special celebration, or a delicious meal.

Our foodie group came here for brunch one Sunday and I'm so glad we did! I've heard nothing but great things about Aristocrat so I had to check it out for myself. The ambiance is very nice and quaint and very old style with antiques displayed throughout the restaurant. The architecture of the restaurant is nice and gives it a nice family style home feeling when you walk into the restaurant. Our server, Julie Ann, was a pure delight and ray of sunshine. She took very care of our group and made sure we had everything we needed. She was on top of the coffee refills and kept us up to date on the status of our food. She always had a smile on her face the entire time. The food was incredible! I ordered the smoked salmon frittata with fresh fruit. When I took my first bite, I fell in love with the dish! It was the perfect texture and combination of flavors. The smoked salmon brought out the flavor in the frittata. The fresh fruit was a nice combination of different fruit with watermelon, blackberry, blueberry, and banana. The masala Chai tea was excellent as well. I am a regular tea drinker, so when I tried this tea, I loved it very much! The other members of the group enjoyed their dishes as well. One person ordered the French toast fondue and loved it. Another person ordered the West Coast frittata and appeared to enjoy the dish. I decided to get the Hoosier tenderloin with french fries to go to have later on for dinner, because my friend told me the Hoosier tenderloin is the best item at the Aristocrat. I can confirm that he was right! The Hoosier tenderloin sandwich is a great portion for one person and tasted amazing. The French fries were good as well and seasoned just right. I am so glad I ordered it and tried it for the time. Aristocrat is definitely one of the top brunch places in Indy, and I would highly recommend everyone to come here for Sunday brunch. The bar area is also neat and a great place for a drink, so if you are looking to hang out with friends over a beer one night or on a Saturday, you should come to the Aristocrat. There is nothing negative to say about Aristocrat! It is just fantastic!

As unbelievable as this may sound, not a single state has an official sandwich. And after eating the unofficial state sandwich of Indiana I think I know why. First things first though, according my extensive internet research, the official unofficial state sandwich of Indiana is the Pork Tenderloin. And if you are only going to eat one, which was the plan, then it should be eaten at the Aristocrat Pub & Restaurant. It comes on a bun (mine was oddly from Toronto) that covers a maximum of 33% of the loin, with lettuce, tomato, and three dill pickle coins and a loin eater's choice of ketchup, mayo and/or mustard (I chose mayo). For some it might be advisable to share. Washed down by a draft Ayinger Lager: Excellent!!! So good in fact I'm thinking I'll share another with Mrs. AAR if the opportunity arises. Oh, yeah, the reason why this great country lacks even one official state sandwich¹ may be the same reason this country can't provide adequate health care . . . politics. In Indiana's case House Bill 1143 has languished since 2023 possibly due to pushback from the Polish sausage and fried brain sandwich lobby. ¹ According to Wikipedia the "Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese," is the only official state sandwich. It was made "official" by the New Jersey governor on May 25, 2023, though this might just be due to the Taylor Swift's impending visiting to MetLife Stadium. Either way it has not been been approved by the state legislature.

The most charming interior, friendly service, Guinness on draft and live music! The Aristocrat is a total gem and one of my favorite spots in all of Indy. The wooded bar lined with TVs is an awesome spot to catch a game, while the restaurant side has a fireplace and plenty of cozy booths. The Aristocrat is amazing in every season, but really shines on those cold winter nights! I'm a big fan of their fish and chips and fish tacos. They also have a nice selection of hot cocktails like Irish Coffee and my personal favorite, the Nutty Irishman.

Been coming here since I was a kick. Beautiful bar area. Great for groups or come alone. Good service. Classic standard fare. Best items are the french onion and the fish fry.

I stopped by this pub for a late Sunday brunch last weekend, and it was definitely great. The service was attentive and we were seated immediately despite the time and day of the week! The coffee was strong and satisfying, and everything arrived in a timely manner. The pub is also super cute. It was hard to choose from the large menu, but I went with the smoked salmon Benedict, which was SO GOOD. I also got one blueberry pancake on the side, and it was fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and definitely hit the spot. Everyone else at my table really enjoyed their food, the chicken and waffles standing out as a highlight. They were accompanied by some sort of delicious funky spicy syrup. No complaints here at all. We will definitely be back.

Recently we visited the Aristocrat Pub before a play at Clowe's. However, I think everyone else did too! Despite it being busy, we enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great! My husband enjoyed his cottage pie and my salad was big enough for two! The only downside is there isn't a lot of parking we had to park a couple of blocks away but on a nice evening- no complaints!

Aristocrat Pub & Restaurant has been serving Indianapolis since 1933. There is a small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. We arrived at 5 pm and all of the spots were already taken but we were able to easily find street parking. The interior has a split dining room with a fireplace. There is plenty of wood in the decor and the environment is very inviting. The four of us dined in on a Friday night and they happened to have a live music performance and some of the servers were dressed up as pirates. There is a $5 surcharge per guest to dine in and enjoy the music. We opted out and sat outdoors instead because our young daughters would find the music too loud. For our dinner, we shared two entrees: Hoosier's fried pork tenderloin with a side of cole slaw and fish and chips. Portions were generous to say the least. We are glad that we went with cole slaw instead of kettle chips for the fried pork tenderloin because it was a good balance to the fried food which was a tad heavy and dry. It was good to check off but not necessarily something that we would re-order. The fish and chips were standard and our firstborn actually cleared half of the plate on her own. Score!

Best Bloody Mary on college Ave. Get here early on weekends, especially if the weather is nice because the patio fills up quick! But don't fret, the inside is just as fun. Offering a warm and inviting, home like experience. The food is amazing and they have so much to choose from.

Cozy pub, but with lots of space! My husband and I visited for the first time tonight. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We liked the decor from unique light fixtures, to the fireplace, to cozy little enclosed booths. We ordered the fish and chips and the mac and cheese burger. They came out fairly quickly and we both enjoyed our meals. Our server was friendly and helpful too.

One of the classic places in Indianapolis to get their famous pork tenderloin sandwiches. Pros - the pork tenderloin sandwiches are HUGE!! They pound the meat so thin and it absolutely dwarfs the regular sized hamburger bun. I like to cut the tenderloin into bun sized sliced and eat a quadruple layer sandwich. Cons - outdoor seating is beautiful but close to a lot of trees so bugs and leaves may fall onto your plate. Great place to get a hearty pork tenderloin sandwich and some ice cold beer to wash it down.

This is Indy's greatest secret. Exquisite food well made. Comfy atmosphere. Stephanie very responsive to our needs and my high maintenance lady friend. Clean bathroom. Just all around best dining and social i have gad in years.

On busy College Ave, we found a charming place with so much to look at that I wanted a private tour. On a frozen Sunday, we decided to have dinner there and it turned out to be a nice cozy time. The service was fast but not pushy. Though they announced that they were closing early due to the weather, they didn't rush us. Since Guinness on tap is always a plus for us, we went for it. A small bowl of French onion soup was perfect after a cold day. It was made with rye bread and it wasn't too salty, which I appreciated. Sometimes it can be. I had the fried green tomato caprese burger which had a wonderful flavor combination and was delicious. However, I would ask for more balsamic vinegar next time. My husband had the cottage pie and loved every oozy, gooey, cheesy bite of it. We will definitely be back for good comfort food.

We were seated immediately for Saturday dinner, the outdoor patio is lovely. My boyfriend got the classic club and I got the cottage pie, both were fresh and yummy. I also enjoyed my bourbon basil cocktail. All the staff were very nice, though our server did disappear for a bit while we were waiting for the check. All in all, a great spot.

Food has always been great! The service is very timely as we enjoy sitting at the bar and grabbing a bite before Butler basketball game. With that said, the bar tenders are amazing! In the summer we love sitting outside for a weekend lunch.

My husband and I decided to go on an impromptu date night on the last warm evening of fall. We were happy to see that the outdoor area was open even though it was November. I thought this was the perfect low key place to go. 1 because I wanted to try some place new and couldn't believe I'd never been considering it's been around since 1933, 2 they have fried green tomatoes. I would get the same exact meal again. I split the fried green tomatoes and had a cup of onion soup along with the chicken and mushrooms. My husband had the chicken noodle soup and the salmon.

great neighborhood hang! nice bar, outdoor & indoor dining. Food is always delicious. never had a bad experience.

I ordered the Mac and cheese burger and a side of mashed potato's. I asked for the burger to be well done but it came a little burnt. Otherwise it was a good burger. The mashed potato's were amazing! They were really tasty, not because they were doused in butter and cheese, but because they were really well seasoned and made. If you come here, order the mashed potato's 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been to the Aristocrat maybe once or twice before moving into this neighborhood but now that I live here I have a guilty pleasure that I CANNOT allow myself to succumb to, lest I become morbidly obese. And that guilty pleasure is their French Onion soup. Yes this is totally cliché but it's also true; literal, even: The Aristocrat's French Onion soup is better than sex. Goddamn it's good. Overall, the Aristocrat provides a great dining atmosphere. I'm fond of wood-walled rooms. They have a pretty great patio, too. I can't really comment on the bar because I don't drink but my waitress -- also the bartender -- took care of me well enough that I have no complaints. I will definitely be back! I have friends who insist on going to another, similar eatery in the neighborhood but I think I shall hold out in hopes of swaying us away from Kessler and towards The Aristocrat, instead.

This place had a very cozy atmosphere and felt like your grandmother's house. However, the food was so-so, but the drinks were great. I'd go back and see what other food options they had!

The food is amazing. We went for brunch, but it's only served on Sunday. Was not disappointed by the appetizers we had.

Great sevice!!! Ordered picatta and it came with salmon. Asked if they could change it to chicken. They did and it was delicious!!! Always great service and wonderful food. Would highly recommend to all.

Just love this place. It is wonderful walking in and the best word to describe the décor is charming! It makes me feel like I am in a library with the fireplace and other items. It is just awesome. The food is always on point. The German potato salad is so good. The drinks are great and the bourbon choices (if you are into that) are great. I seriously love coming and trying all of their items. Make sure to ask what the special is! We always sit at the bar, although I have sat in the main dining and the bar dining area before. The staff is great and will take time if you are going between items to order.

We were in town, and were looking for a good place to grab an Indianapolis famous pork tenderloin sandwich, and this place seemed like a good bet! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful, and there is a huge on tap beer selection. I opted to try a Magners Irish Cider which was quite refreshing. For starters we decided to try the beer cheese with apples and pretzel bread which was delicious. My friend also got the soup of the day, New England Clam Chowder which he said reminded him of living in New England. The pork tenderloin sandwich was HUGE, and was fried so well in a delicious super crispy breading. The service was also quite friendly which adds to the atmosphere. If you're in the area, I'd recommend checking it out!

My favorite chill place to eat in Meridian Kessler. Amazing atmosphere, consistently warm service, solid food for the money, full bar and they have an epic fireplace in the dining room! I think its worth coming here for the décor alone. If you sit on the bar side, the bathroom is straight up Harry Potter's bedroom, its awesome! Food wise, its basically a nice diner. The entrees are a better value than the appetizers. If you skip the apps, the entrees should leave you with a bit of room for dessert and you should absolutely get dessert! (checkout my pic) FOR EVENTS -- This place is freaking epic. Definitely one of the coolest venues in Indy, decorated even better than the ground floor!

I was fortunate to go to the Aristocrat Pub & Restaurant today on my way to Dayton, OH to see the total eclipse. I had The Hoosier Tenderloin. It was fantastic. Very flavorful, very large and had crispy breading without being greasy. I selected the cole slaw and it was great. I sat at the bar and service was quick and the server was very nice. I felt very welcomed. Previously I only had pork tenderloin sandwiches at the now closed Edward's Drive-In. The Aristocrat Pub & Restaurant version blows Edward's sandwich away.
