Baby's

We have been coming to Baby’s regularly this year especially for their Wednesday night trivia. We really enjoy Max who is the host. It’s been hit or miss, sometimes there is a decent amount of teams, sometimes no other teams and one time it was canceled last second. We always enjoy the food! The service is also hit or miss. The majority of the time it seems like it’s our servers first day and they’re still learning. Which is okay and doesn’t affect the night too much. It’s normally better when they just do walk up/self service to the counter. No need to stress out people with having to serve who don’t know how to is my thought. The great food makes up for it!

Very good food quality, simple menu, and true gluten free options including fries cooked in a separate fryer, impressive. This place is owned by the woman who owns Ball & Biscuit cocktail bar on Mass Ave, pictured are several of the house brand canned cocktails. I tried the espresso martini and a lemon coconut beverage both of which were balanced and complex. Burgers and fries are up to par, we just have a lot of options in Indy for this fare. My only nit pick is that it's pricey, which is unfortunately expected for the location. Highly recommended for gluten free diets, and worth checking out otherwise. Service was top notch as well.

I normally don't get burgers or fries since I am allergic to wheat, but this place did it. They have a delicious gluten-free bun, and their fries AND shakes ARE GLUTEN-FREE!!! This was a heavenly meal, and I was so happy to find it. If you are gluten-free and looking for a good place to go, GO HERE!!!

My wife and I stumbled across this spot called Baby’s for a laid-back dinner date. We’d heard about it through the Indy Local Foodies group but didn’t even realize it was there. Turns out, it’s kind of a hidden gem. Bonus points for plenty of free parking and getting seated right away. The menu has a good mix, but the burgers are clearly the star of the show. I went for the Swissy burger, while my wife got the chicken and fries basket. We couldn’t help ourselves and ordered a cheeseburger too, just so we could fully customize it. Everything we tried was so good. The flavors were on point, and the service was awesome. Our servers were super friendly and even told us some cool stories about the restaurant’s history (which you can also read about on the menu). Bottom line: Baby’s is a total win. Great food, chill vibes, and a perfect spot to hang out with friends or family. Highly recommend checking it out!

Great atmosphere and delicious food! I got the chicken tenders and fries and tried the Sassy Sauce, White BBQ, and Sunday Sauce. The food was delicious and the sauces were 10/10. Our server was fast and friendly and my son loved his milkshake and playing outside in the family friendly atmosphere.

Baby's is such a cute place with great staff! I love the inclusive atmosphere and it's important to support places like this! The burgers were good, but the Talbott fries and cheese curds were the real stand-outs for us. It has a nice patio and is dog-friendly too.

Burgers were quite good. Cheese curds were, as our server noted, a bit greasy, but good all the same. She recommended pizza bites, so we may try them again on our next trip through Indy. The milkshakes were good as well. Service was fantastic.

We came here for dinner and the food was decent. It wasn't amazing, but it was good. I am a garlic lover, so I got excited when I saw garlic cheese curds. Unfortunately, they weren't very garlicky at all and they were cook at too high of a temperature, so the cheese had escaped all of the breading leaving us with hollow non garlic breading covered in hard cheese strings. The smash burgers were decent. The shake was good. My daughter was a little disappointed. Only because the picture shows the milk shake in this beautiful glass shake cup and she got a plastic to go cup when we were eating there. (And she picked the restaurant because of the beautiful shake.) The place itself is unique and beautiful with quite a few large TVs with sports games on them. It was worth going to and trying out while in the area. Parking is across the street. It does wrap around. So if they weren't too busy a smaller RV could park in there.

If smash burgers are your thing...this is the place for you! So good. They offer plenty of burger options to choose from, or you can build your own. They're also known for their shakes (you can spike them if you want). Service is always quick and consistent. Sit outside and start with the loaded fries and share them around the table...you won't regret it!

We scoured social media for recommendations for a kid-friendly restaurant in Indianapolis (not Fishers/Carmel/Westfield), and Baby's was the top recommendation by leaps and bounds. We are absolutely confounded as to how. It was fine for kids, but the price vs. quality was the largest gap I've ever seen. We paid $70 (over $80 after a tip) for four people (two adults, two kids) for food that amounted to what you get in a Wendy's value meal... and not just quantity, but quality too. And let's be frank: there's nothing going for it to justify that price. No live music, no entertainment. It wasn't by Lucas Oil or Gainbridge. You're paying for virality and they are taking advantage of every second of it. The food is good. It's nowhere near the value you are paying for. If you become convinced to eat here, be aware: it will be the most disappointing meal you've ever spent money on, value-wise.

I was so excited to FINALLY try Baby's - but, I was just a little bit disappointed. There wasn't anything wrong exactly, everything was just okay. Burgers were a good size with ample toppings, but I wouldn't go running back to eat one. The fries were also decent! The inside is really cute with all the pink and designs! Our waiter was also really helpful with suggestions.

I really wanted to like Baby's Burgers, but it just didn't live up to the hype. The burgers were average at best--not bad, just nothing special--and definitely overpriced for what you get. The mixed drinks were overly sweet and honestly pretty terrible. For the price point, I expected a better overall experience. We sat under the enclosed patio, and unfortunately, someone came up to our table asking for money during our meal, which made things uncomfortable. It also wasn't clear from the website that it's counter service only, and the online menu didn't match what was actually available in the restaurant, which was frustrating. It felt like a place banking on a trendy vibe rather than delivering quality food or service. Probably won't be back.

Hmmmm. Doesn't matter how good the food is... the sewer smell makes you loose your appetite.

Fast seating, fast service. I had the build your own burger. Double pepperjack burger with bacon and onions with fries. Delicious! I tried the non dairy soy based lemon raspberry milkshake. It was just okay. A nice place for the family and kids. Clean bathrooms.

This place is so cute , they were super busy with prom still Very nice staff and service. They have quite a few vegan options and can make most things vegan. I have the impossible burger with fries and it was amazing. Oh the union rings were delicious

We liked the amount of different options there were to choose from outside of just burgers like Mac & cheese, salads, hot dogs, etc. Although the waiter was amazing at walking us through some of his favorites and popular choices, we unfortunately felt a little underwhelmed with the food. It was definitely good, but didn't seem to live up to the raving reviews we'd gotten from friends. But, it's a really cool building though with so much awesome artwork inside. I'm sure we'll be back at some point to try it again. Maybe we were just having an off day!

Overall everything was good but a few things caused me to not give five stars. Burgers were large and tasted good but the fries were a bit stale and room temp which surprised us because we waited awhile for our order. Due to the time we waited and stale fries I didn't give five stars. I will say the burgers were good and so was the shake which is what made me give four stars despite the other items. Atmosphere was cute with bright fun colors and decor.

Baby's was on the list for us to try. I wasn't expecting it to be soooo kid friendly! The food is well worth the visit. All of it was delicious.!! We got set outside while it rained little but that was "only" sits available. But truly the server made all the difference (he needs a raise lol).. he was very helpful, understood the different annoyance tried to help as much as possible, offered to many options and gave alot of helpful details on food!!! Truly a great person... only draw back was they allowed this one guy to walk thru the patio area around all the kids and even into the restaurant. Stopping at every couple asking for change/money... they have to do better with that!

A nice find for a quick lunch! Very friendly staff and very good tasting food! Open seating and can be loud. But the heated enclosed front patio is very nice.

Great new burger joint. Loved the pink and fun atmosphere. They made a great impossible burger and the fries and onion rings were both perfect. The staff were all friendly and seemed happy to be there. We'll be back.

I mean... it's mid. French fries akin to McDonald's fries, great white sauce. BAM! Burger was just okay- kinda small for the price tag of $14.00. Our server was super nice and on top of things, and the restaurant has a positive atmosphere.

This place is still good. And a lot less busy in the early spring than the summer. No problems getting a table tonight. The burgers are good, but the star for me are the boozy milkshakes. Pick a flavor of milkshake and then pick a liquor. You get a little airplane-sized bottle of liquor to add to your milkshake at your discretion.

I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was such a fun and festive place to meet. I loved learning about the history of the building and how it contributes to the intentional activities and community events that Baby's hosts, such as their drag brunch. You'll grab a seat and order at the counter whenever you're ready, and the staff will bring out your food to your table once it's ready. I ordered a build your own burger and added the free toppings of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes, as well as one of the signature sauces. I upgraded for pepper jack cheese and the caramelized onions, which I thought really elevated my burger. I felt the ingredients were fresh. I'd say it's a pretty average burger, so the ambiance would be the reason I returned.

This has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in (see photos) Felt like $10 burger was a bit on the small side, and does not come with chips fries or pickle. It was tasty . The staff was very friendly. Again the place sparkled.

My wife and I found this place because--drag brunch. Say no more. We love a place that gives us glitter and grease. Unfortunately, we didn't make it for the show... but we were cruising through Indy on a road trip and figured, hey, we'll try the food and manifest the drag queens spiritually. The vibe? Adorable. Inclusive. Like a Lisa Frank notebook met a 1950s diner and said "we're gay now." Even on a slow day, the staff was welcoming, the energy was kind, and the playlist slapped. Points for vibes achieved. Now, the food. I got a double smash burger with pepper jack, gouda, and jalapeños because I enjoy making poor gastrointestinal decisions. My wife kept it simple with a cheeseburger, and we shared some loaded potato fries, a soda, and a little shake for dessert (because we're cute like that). The fries? Crispy. Tasty. Didn't drown in toppings like they were trying to escape the Titanic. A+ for potato integrity. The burgers? Eh. Dry patties, not much flavor, no salt to save the day. I don't ask much of a smash burger--just a little crust, a little seasoning, a little oomph. This was more like meh. Honestly, Freddy's could've done it better--and Freddy doesn't even have drag queens. So would I come back? Maybe... if I finally get to see a drag brunch and the queens throw shade while I throw back fries. But just for the burger? Nah, Baby's, not worth the detour. Still rooting for this place because the mission and the mood are both fantastic. But the burger? Needs a makeover. Call Queer Eye. Or Salt Bae.

Baby's has a fun and bright interior and you feel like you're walking into a cool diner. I had full intentions of ordering a smash burger and a shake, but I saw that Mondays special was $10 specialty macaroni and cheese. They offer many specials every day and for lunch. I decided to order their key lime shake, which was absolutely delicious!! You can add booze to the milkshake if desired. They also had a pretty big drink list available. I ordered the loaded baked potato macaroni and cheese as my entree. Overall, I enjoyed the dish, and the only aspect I didn't care for was the bacon. I wished the bacon had more of a crunch to it, as it seemed very processed and didn't appear to be freshly cooked. It reminded me of the packaged bacon toppings they sell at the grocery store to put on salads.

Loved this place! Baby's is such a cute burger joint with excellent food! I got the strut burger and it was amazing! The mango chutney was delicious on it. I got a small chocolate milkshake and it was so good I ordered another! Highly recommend going to Baby's!

oh my, I can't believe my last review was almost 3 years ago! Went last Monday (7/15/24) and we got there at a perfect time it was not busy at all. Since I'd been there last, there's now a bike lane on east bound 22nd, but there is still parking on the west side in the street and a lot, and on the north side of 22. The large patio was open, but it was a little hot out, so we ate inside at one of hte large yellow booths. Today was order at the counter & then they bring it to your table. This time, I had the Bam Burger ( a smashed single with cheese & their "bam" sauce, and onion rings. I also got a side of their sunday sauce for the o'rings -- which is ranch, honey mustard & bbq mixed. The fries were maybe just a tad over done, but they had decent pieces of onion inside and it was tasty. I enjoyed the burger. #yum #ReviewsByRL

INCREDIBLY accommodating for celiac disease. I put in order through Uber Eats and they care they put into ensuring the food was safe for me was evident. I haven't had French fries in 2 years and because they have a separate fryer I was able to eat them and they were DELICIOUS. This place is incredible.

We went to the Christmas drag brunch and it was great! Miss Pat Yo Weave does a great job hosting and the queens are so fun. There were people there from infant (with adorable ear protection for the music) to grandparents, straight and LGBTQIA2S+ alike have a great time. If it's been a bit since you've attended one, they now let you order from the menu instead of a fixed menu which is nice. Good was good and so was the service.

Stopped by Baby's on a Friday night to get a quick bite to eat. It's a cute family spot with major "Barbie" vibes. For a Friday night it was pretty quiet so there was hardly no wait to be served. The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the "All American" burger In my opinion this was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time.

Baby's is fun and enjoyable - especially for someone with dietary restrictions. I typically can't eat at a traditional diner, but this is a great place for me to enjoy a burger and milkshake with no regrets. The servers are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is fun and bright. It's very approachable for families with kids too!

One of my new favorite restaurants in Indy. The atmosphere is so cute! We went on a Sunday after church and they had just opened so it was pretty quiet and we were able to get our food very quickly. I ordered the Bam burger with fries. The fries were honestly the star of the show, they were warm and crispy and so perfect. I tried the sassy sauce which I wasn't a fan of but regular ketchup worked great.

When asked where I recommend to take kids to eat in Indianapolis, I always recommend Baby's. The pink and cute diner style decor, the attentive and kind servers, and the easy-pleasing food is always a hit with my family. I love the BAM! Burger! The Bam sauce is soooo good. I have no clue what it is, but it's delicious. I also appreciate the monthly curious shake and the well thought out cocktail menu. Baby's also has a covered, heated patio, which is a nice option in the winter. It's located about 5 minutes from the Children's Museum so it's easy to swing by before or after visiting the museum.

Baby's takes you back in time with their modernized retro-diner theme, with pink glitter booth seating and bright neon bar sign. Service was super fast and friendly, my friend and I were seated and served food within 20 minutes I ordered... The BAM! Burger ($10.50+$3.50 for fries): a single layer smash burger with cheese and the BAM sauce (ketchup mustard, mayo, and relish(?)) . The perfect size burger, with a nice crispy patty and grilled bun, all nicely orchestrated together. If it weren't so cold out today, I would have ordered a milkshake, but that's only motivation to visit again, right??

Been here two times, both times I had the spicy burger(not the real name) but fantastic nonetheless. Service was average and the restaurant has outdoor seating which is nice on a hot summer night, went during the summer and winter both inside and out are fun. Had a cookie good .

in short.. this place is pretty great. if you're expecting great service, don't, since baby's seems to have the common issue of "not enough staff." after being seated we waited 15 minutes before anyone came over for even a drink order.. and the restaurant was dead. these things happen, it is what it is, but it's not like we were lost in a sea of people. okayokay anyway -- about the food. i got the beer and shot combo for $8 (nice deal, honestly) as well as an impossible burger and vegan talbott fries, plus split the fried shrooms. it all went down easyyy. the vegan version of the fries could have benefited from something other than those crappy mccormick bac'n bits, but everything about them was great. i appreciated that whatever pickled jalapenos they use were actually spicy, if a little TOO plentiful to boot. the mushrooms were what you'd expect, i think: basically, if you like mushrooms, go for it. if you don't, they're still sort of like gelatinous dirt. but i like that.. for some reason. they were fried perfectly, so that helps. more vegan options would be awesome here, but i'll take what i can get. the whole aesthetic of the place is fantastic -- and they have a pretty good-sized menu with a lot of drinks -- but like i said, they're plagued by having a short staff. despite that though, when they were able to stop by our table, they were incredibly helpful and nice. ah, hell with it. 5/5.

We had an okay time. Definitely recommend the boozy milkshakes. They have good chicken tenders too. I was disappointed to see they don't have fried chicken on the menu anymore. That's basically why I visited. Family friendly. Dog friendly patio

The service was amazing and the server was on top of everything. I loved the overall ambiance of the location. The colors made it fun and a happy place to eat. The eating area outside was also very pleasant. The food was amazing flavor wise. The only thing that I did not like was everything was separate. Not like "get a burger, the fries come with it". So if you want a meal, be sure to order fries at the time you order your burger. Overall it was a good experience!

I didn't like the food here and won't return. We had a Fox 59 gift certificate so thankfully we didn't pay full price. These are nowhere near a real smashburger. Tasted like a preformed frozen burger. Pretzel bun was stale and lackluster. Fries were meh, not worth eating. The only thing I liked was the fried Cheese Curds, they were edible. Save your $$ and go to a real burger joint. The inside was somewhat cute, it was all counter service but they did bring out the food to you. Serve yourself silverware and drinks. Blah

I arrived about 12:45 pm on a Thursday and their parking lot and establishment were almost empty. I saw two tables occupied. I guess I missed the lunch rush. As I was reading the signage how to order, which was scanning a QR code on the table you select, a staff member pointed out the menus in the baskets and told me to order at the counter when I'm ready. Very helpful and friendly. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with lettuce and tomato plus Onion Rings. The onion rings were exceptional, best I've had in a long time. The chicken sandwich was okay, I should've added more toppings probably. They have a large outside dining area available with heaters and ceiling fans. There are also a few tables by the playground. I wouldn't have known about the playground if I hadn't read Nicole's and Niki's reviews as it is out of your line of sight from the main dining room. Brittany F's review is what got me to bookmark this establishment awhile back and I never realized until today how close they are to Methodist Hospital.

Before pregnancy my boyfriend and I used to come here, while pregnant we also came here and now after having our little one, you best to believe we have visited here with him! Baby's has become a favorite of my family! We are vegetarians and they have options for us here and it is rather delicious! I have never had a bad experience here at all. The inside is super fun and colorful. The bathrooms are always clean when I come here as well. Their outside seating is nice as well, get to eat your food while enjoying the nice weather. The service here is like Culver's. You go order at the counter and then they give you a number and bring your food out to your table. One of my favorite things on their menu is their chocolate shake...this is the main reason I fell in love with Baby's

Such a fun family friendly spot! We've been coming here since they opened and it was a delight to bring our little here. they have nice high chairs and a simple kids menu. I always love the decor and the drink options. I especially feel seen because of their non-dairy and vegan options! I ordered the impossible burger and fries with that Dazzle sauce. My partner got the wings in thai sauce and fries.We each had a beer. Our little got chicken and applesauce. The waiter/ress was kind adn helpful despite our busy little. We look forward to coming back.

Favorite local spot for burgers and shake. Great location for easy parking, fun vibe and excellent food and staff. Servings are huge! Appreciate the non dairy shake options. Usually try new burger and split. Sauce and toppings are delicious but burger is so good a plain burger liver will be happy

Good vibes. excellent food, boozy shakes the best. Waitress Brelyn the best. This is a great family place as well.

Stopped in for an impromptu Mother's Day brunch with my daughter and granddaughter. We'd never heard of Baby's but was pleasantly surprised to find it so close to where I grew up. Food was hot and fresh. The Swiss burger is amazing. Luca was our server and he did amazing! He was super welcoming and answered all of our questions. My daughter loved her mimosa.

So good and such a colorful uplifting space. The food was really good, especially the line up of sauces available. My mom's chicken sandwich was a little overcooked, but still good nonetheless. Great area for groups and they have such a nice patio as well:)

I love the vibe/ decor/ theme of Baby's. It's so cute in there! I've been to Baby's a few times and I've enjoyed the vegan shake option every time. The service is usually pretty great and the folks are all so friendly. The issue is the flavor of my food. Each time I've gone to Baby's I'm presented with a tray of beautiful food that either tastes like absolutely nothing or is VERY salty. I think I keep going back for the ambiance but I'm disappointed with my food every time!

Fantastic old-time dinner with solid burgers and fries. The staff is just as friendly as the fellow customers. It has easy parking and a very laidback vibe. I see this is as a neighborhood/locals kinda place and love it!

The food was excellent, the staff was kind, and they gave dairy free milkshakes!! This is my new favorite place!!

I've eaten burgers all over the country and the burgers here stack up with the best. I think it stacks up to the Au Cheval. That statement from me is the equivalent of saying it's unbelievable. The fries are great and you can get several dipping sauces. Their Mac n cheese is off the chain. Great drinks here too. I work with people from all over the world and when they are in town it's surprising how many of them just want a good burger. I always bring them here.

Nice place for lunch! Quick service and open atmosphere. It can get loud inside depending on customers.. nice outside / enclosed seating and clean bathrooms!

I have been to this place multiple times now as it is a fun place to meet friends. They have great cocktails and great fries. I have tried to loaded potato fries (with green onions and sour cream, etc.) as well as the buffalo loaded fries, with celery and buffalo sauce. The way that this place works has changed a bit since I first came. They used to wait you at your table, and now you go up and order. Not a huge deal, but if you haven't been in a while you may sit a while expecting someone to come take your order. The new look is fun! There is a new mural and they have updated the inside to look more trendy and less outdated! The shakes are fun. This is a fun place to have cocktails and appetizers with friends.

Baby's totally has a Barbie vibe! It's pink, it's kitschy, it's got boozy milkshakes. It also has a nice outdoor patio and a playground--so it is family friendly too. While the food was just okay (impossible burger for vegetarians) it is definitely the friendly customer service and the ambiance of the place that should make you want to stop by. I really dug the white chocolate peanut butter + chocolate shake (the folks working the counter let me do 1/2 and 1/2 so I would not have FOMO on flavor choices).

Self order and pay, food is delivered to your table. Choose from salads, burgers, chicken, and sides. My double cheeseburger was two thin meat patties and was very dry. The best food report from our 8 ladies was the chicken sandwich was very good. Parking beside building. Unisex restrooms.

Completely different vibe than last time with sit down service, shades on the outdoor patio and no blaring music made for a nice setting for lunch. Dud waiter who hardly spoke, threw straws at the table, and seemed put out when we asked a question. Served a burger with a very long, light colored, semi curly hair that I pulled off before trying to eat. Bonus on the cruelty free options that don't involve killing animals or subjecting them to inhumane treatment for milk or eggs.

It was a great ambiance but wow the food was not good. I don't often say the food somewhere is bad but.... we couldn't even finish our meals. It was also very expensive for what we got. I'm so sad about this because we love supporting local restaurants.
